A Golden Heart (Golden guard x reader)

Midnight snacks 😈

Y/n Pov:

I wake up and feel the cool air peirce my skin from the window right next to my new bed. I haven't been able to get much sleep ever since I moved away from home and into the castle. I check the small clock on my bedside table and see that it's 2:31am.

I step out of bed and slip on a thin cloak. I quietly sneak down the countless stairs of the palace and get to the kitchen. I know I shouldn't be stealing food from the kitchen but I can't help my cravings. Just as I am about to reach for the Kraft mac n cheese I hear footsteps come from the hallway. Who ever else is trying to get snacks is obviously not trying very hard to be quiet. 

"Ughhh someone ate all the ben and jerrys" I hear someone mumble to themself angrily. I look up to see some scrawny kid looking for snacks. I decide that I should probably leave in case someone finds me. I start walking towards the hallway when I feel a hand grab my upper arm from behind.

"Not so fast" I turn back to see the same guy I saw earlier only this time he looked a bit more scary "What do you think you're doing in the dead of night?"

I still can't take him seriously "I wanted mac and cheese little rat" I said looking into his magenta eyes.

"What did you just call me? I'll have you know I am a- coven official and I- you are a little rat" he says. I stare at him blankly while he is furious. He opens his mouth to speak again and I notice a gap in his teeth. How cute. Before he can say anything we both hear more footsteps.

"GET DOWN" He whisper yelled to me and I was going to run away but he pulled me down before I could do anything else. I look to see him crouched under a table that seemed to have some type of table cloth draped over the top of it. I turn to see his face and am about to scream when he puts his hand over my mouth to keep me quiet. I bit his hand.

"Ow! What the fu-!" He starts, but almost immediatly gets cut off by a steve on night shift. The guard pulls up the table cloth and just stares at us.

"Alright kids I don't know or care who either of you are but get out of the kitchen" He says in a tired voice. once we both start walking we hear steve mumbling about how much he hates his job. 

"So who even are you anyway? I didn't think there was anyone here my age" I say. He just turns his head and says something under his breath. I guess he was really hungry, too bag ig. 

I walk back into my room ad flop on to my bed. I try to go to sleep once more but I can't. This time it's not because I miss my home or anything but because that dumb blonde. My mind keeps circling around him. I have many questions like, where did he get his scar? and how does he always have just one strand of hair sticking out? and most importantly does he think I'm dumb? He's my age there is no way he is a coven official. I hate his dumb little face, and I hate that thoughts of that little bitch has completly take over my mind.

The next day:

I was called to see the emperor early this morning. Kikimora was escorting me to the throne room and must've noticed how excited I was because she looked up at me a few times before finally asking,

"Is there a reason you are so eager at 5:00am?" 

"Actually, yes" I happily responded "Ever since I joined I have been waiting for my assignment and joining the emperors coven has always been my dream". I never get this enthusiastic about something, but I can't help it, I am only 16 and about to speak to the emperor himself. 

When we get there I feel goosebumps rise on my arms just looking at this place. The walls are so tall it looks as if they could go up forever. The atmosphere is cold and dust lingers in the air. I make a deep bow infront of the emperor who is accompanied by the golden guard next to him. Kikimora left the room leaving me alone with just the emperor and his right hand man.

"Y/n you are a very talented, hardworking and smart young witch, I have reason to beleive that you will be a good addition to the coven and I can tell the titan has big plans for you." His loud voice echos through the room. I don't want to interupt so I respectfully nod my head to show my gratitude.

"I know you have much potential that is why I am making your mentor someone very special," Belos pauses slightly "The golden guard will be your mentor". The golden guard seems just as surprised as I am because he immeadeatly turned his masked-covered face to the emperor.

"Golden guard, please show Y/n around the castle, then do some combat training". We both nod and start walking towards the door. Once we are out of the emperors room the golden guard turns to me and says,

"Hello Y/n, I'll show you around for a bit then I'll show you to the training area okay?".  He was quite obviously not even trying to hide his discomfort and inpoliteness. I stare at him blankly and slightly annoyed before he starts walking and I quietly follow.

It was then I realized I'm gonna have to put up with this brat until my training is complete.
