Ship: Sliktea (Huntsman x Sandy)

Context: Huntsman can not get Sandy out of his mind, and that annoyed him. But he doesn't know what to do.

Huntsman fiddled with the tea he had required from Sandy, he, for some reason, couldn't get the guy out of his mind. He had been thinking about Sandy a lot, ever since his encounter.

He grumbled. He thought about how pathetic he was being, Sandy was an enemy, he was friends with the Monkie kid. So why couldn't he just forget about him?!

"Hey Huntsman, what are you up to?" He heard a voice from behind him, this made him jump. He also covered the tea. He turned around to see Syntax. "Oh, hello" he greeted his ally, "What's that?" Syntax pointed at Huntsman's hands. "H-hm?!" He played it off as not knowing what he meant.

But ended up failing, miserably. "Come on~ what's that?" Syntax whined. "You promise- to not tell the queen?" Huntsman asked, "Yeah yeah, sure" Syntax smiled.

"Okay..."

Huntsman removed his hands to reveal the tea, "It's just.. Tea?" Syntax looked confused. "Tea from that Sandy guy! You know- the Monkie kids friend?!" Huntsman threw his hands up dramatically. "So? Just throw it away" Syntax shrugged, "I can't!" Huntsman replied a-bit harsher than intended.

He looked away ashamed, "Why not?" Syntax asked, his smile dropping in confusion and a-bit of concern. "I- I don't know! Ever since my little... scuffle with him.. he's been invading my mind.." he explained.

"It's irritating!" He grumbled dropping his head on the table, Syntax sat next to him. "I'm not very experienced on.. this type of stuff" he waved his hands about, "But.. it sounds like you have a crush" Huntsman brought his head up, quite quickly. "A- crush?!" He exclaimed, "I cant have a- crush! On the enemy!"

His face grew red with blush. "W-what- what will the spider queen think?!" He panicked, "What she doesn't know, won't hurt her" Syntax smiled.

Huntsman's mind went back to what Sandy said.. "An enemy is just a friend you haven't won over yet!" That quote hit him.. but he didn't know why..

He shook his head, "Even if I did, what makes you think he'll like me back? I mean last time we met, I hurt him!" Huntsman looked away. "Dude, have you seen the guy? He's to nice for his own good" Syntax chuckled, that was true... Sandy only breaks when the people he loves are in danger... he really showed his true power once Huntsman threatened the creatures.

"He probably likes you, I mean- he gave you tea. You don't just- give your enemy tea if you don't like them" Syntax said, Huntsman grumbled. "And you like him, your face says it all" Huntsman tried his best to hide his face.

"This whole thing has me stressed.." Huntsman murmured, "Why don't you at least talk to him" Syntax suggested.

Huntsman look at the tea pouch for a short moment, before finally agreeing. "Fine.. I'll do it" he grumbled as blush spread across his lavender face. "Awesome! I'll be cheering you on!" Syntax smiled. Huntsman gave a strained smile, immediately regretting this.



Due to his great sense of smell he managed to track Sandy down. The scent led him towards a harbour, "So this is where he lives..?" He mumbled. He took a deep breath in and headed for the door, Okay, Huntsman... all you gotta do is say I like you- easy as that.. he encouraged himself.

He clutched the tea in his hand, as his body tensed up. He brought his other hand up to the door and knocked. Instantly regretting this. Oh god..! This is a horrible idea! He internally panicked.

The door opened and Sandy's head peeked out. He looked down to see a very red Huntsman, "Oh..? Huntsman I wasn't expecting you" he smiled. The blush on Huntsmans face grew, "Are you okay? You seem tense.." his eyes went soft.

"I am- I'm fine" he stammered "You sure? I can whip you up some herbal tea!" He grinned, without waiting for an answer Sandy grabbed the spiders arm pulling him inside. "Oh! Also I have therapy cats! They help with stress" Huntsman smiled slightly.

"Here sit down, I'll go grab some tea!" Sandy smiled walking to, what Huntsman assumed, to be the kitchen. Whilst he was sitting multiple cats jumped onto the sofa and began snuggling with Huntsman, which shocked him. All but one was giving Huntsman a cuddle and that cat was Mo. He was the one who had the most experience with the spiders.

"I'm back~" Sandy smiled as he carried a plate with tea on it, "Aww! Looks like they like you already!" He  chuckled. "This is.. pleasant" Huntsman muttered as the cats purred. "So, what brings you here?" Sandy asked taking a sip from his tea.

"Ah yes.. I uh- wanted to tell y..you.." Huntsman's cheeks grew red.. again. Just tell him.. Huntsman took a deep breath in. "I like- like you!" He blurted out the last part.

He had closed his eyes. Finally, he slowly opened them only to see Sandy staring at him. Not saying a word. "Shit-! I- I knew this was a bad idea! I'll leave!" He stood up and all the cats jumped off.

"W-wait!" Sandy grabbed his arm, his face was now red. "I.. I like you too" he smiled softly.

Sandy stood up from where he sat, and picked up Huntsman. "Huh!?" He yelped in surprise, "Well, this is the only proper way we can kiss.. I'm a bit taller than you.." Sandy chuckled.

Huntsman grumbled before grabbing Sandy's face a pulling him into a kiss. They separate a few seconds later, "How was that?" Sandy smiled awkwardly. "It was- good"

After a moment of silence the realisation hit Huntsman, "Omg- we just kissed! Are- are we dating now?!" He asked in shock. "If that's what you want" Sandy smiled, Huntsman felt like he was going to faint.

He shook his head, "Can.. can we kiss again?" He asked. "Of course!" Sandy planted a kiss on Huntsman's lips.
