Escaped - Hunter/Golden Guard x Reader

Part 4 - Your New Home

You both walk in together and the door shuts behind you.

You take in what you saw. It wasn't much. A decently sized room with eggwhite walls that has patterns of lavender plants in a line. In the middle of the room, there is a king sized bed with a few blankets folded neatly and one small pillow. Next to the bed, there is a short bookshelf which doubles as a table that has a coaster and a lamp on top. On the right wall there is a closet.

After you take a look at your surroundings, you take a few creaky steps forward on the wooden tiles, and sit down on the bed. Hunter sits next to you.

You lay back. There is an entire galaxy worth of star stickers on the roof.

"This room must have belonged to a kid," you comment.

"Yeah. It seems so. There have been a few visitors since then."

"Hm?"

"I slept here when I was a kid. Before I was old enough to join a Coven." He lays down next to you.

You blush lightly. "What is a coven?"

"Witches are born possessing every type of magic. They have to choose which type of magic they want to be a part of. Except my coven. The Emperor's Coven."

"I love hearing your voice," you accidentally mutter out loud.

He tenses up, "I-um, thanks. Your voice is nice too."

Oops, my thoughts slipped. You think, staring at the ceiling. "So, covens, haha.."

He turns over to his side and faces you. "What was that thing you showed me earlier?"

Your face turns red, you know exactly what he was talking about, but you felt the need to clarify, "the hug?"

"Yeah, can I.. hug you?"

You turn bright red thinking about it. You gave a small nod.

He scoots closer as he wraps his arms around you. You turn over and do the same. You stay quiet for a short moment before you feel him loosening his grasp.

You're now facing each other. "What is it like in the human realm?" he asks. You can see his cheeks blushing through the mask still.

"It's a lot different. There's no magic, no flying staffs, well I guess there are airplanes but-"

"What's an airplane?" He excitedly interrupts you.

This goes on for hours, and you learn a lot from each other. He sits up from the bed and looks at the clock on the wall.

"Oh shit. I need to get back to the castle."

"Oh," you look down sadly, "I had a lot of fun talking to you today."

He giggles, "I had a lot of fun too."

You both stand up and walk to the door of the library. Once you're outside, he hands you the key and gives you one last hug. "I'll come visit soon," he mentions, and then he is off.

You walk back to the bed, and lay in the spot where he previously laid. You grabbed one of the folded blankets and wrapped it around you as you reflected on your day.

You soundly fall asleep.
