The Owl House Oneshots

6- Hunter x Clawthorne! reader

The inspiration for this chapter is above :)

"OK, Hunter. I agreed to help because I love romance." Luz says, pacing in front of Hunter with a look on intense concentration on her face.

A few hours earlier, Hunter had asked for help with asking Y/N out. Luz had slight regrets about helping set Hunter up with Eda's kid and the closest thing Luz has to a sibling, but its too late to say no now.

Luz stops pacing and looks at Hunter expectantly. "Give me your best flirty line."

Hunter nods. "Ok. Ok. Sure. Uh." He leans on a wall, smirks, and says, "I heard you like funny people. If fact, my entire life is a joke." Just after he stops speaking, his arm slips off the wall and he goes crashing to the ground with a screech.

"Hunter, no." Luz responds bluntly, rushing over to check on the teen.

"I take it that wasn't great?"

"Never say that again."

"But-"

"Never."

Hunter nods and stands, dusting himself off.

Little do Luz and Hunter know, Y/N is walking up the stairs at that very moment, and will be within earshot of Luz's room in seconds.

"Alright, Hunter, try again." Luz says with a sigh. "But this time, say something that doesn't make you sound like a sad teen who never speaks to witches his age."

"But that's what I am..." Hunter replies weekly.

Luz puts a hand to her head. "This is gonna be harder than I thought..." She looks up at Hunter and claps. "Ok! Here, repeat after me. 'I always thought 'happiness' started with an 'h', but mine starts with 'u'."

Hunter repeats the sentence and looks very proud of himself. Luz grins and nods. "Good job. You just mastered bad pickup lines."

There's a knock at the door, and a second later Y/N walks in, startling the other two teens. "Hey Luz, what's- Hunter?! What are you doing here?"

Hunter blushes and blurts, "There's something wrong with my scroll!"

"Oh, really? What? Maybe I can help."

"It doesn't have your number in it."

Y/N blushes, and tries to distract from it by clearing their throat and rolling their eyes. "You do have my number, idiot. Did you forget?"

"Uh. Um." Hunter stutters.

Luz's eyes dart between the two sixteen-year-olds quickly as she wonders what to do. Suddenly, she claps her hands and shouts awkwardly, "Well, I gotta go ask Eda something! I'll leave you two here!" She then runs away from the two blushing teenagers and finds Eda just so she didn't lie to her friends.

"You look good." Hunter says, only realizing afterward what he said.

"Oh, thanks. You look good, too. But you have a bruise right here." Y/N replies, pointing to their chin.

Hunter reaches up to his face. "Really?" He frowns, feeling stupid for having fallen only a few minutes before encountering Y/N.

Y/N nods and chuckles. "Yeah. I've noticed you're surprisingly clumsy sometimes. Here, let me help." They grab Hunter's hand and pull it away from his face gently, then draw a spell circle in the air to heal the bruise. They notice they're still holding Hunter's hand and let go, clearing their throat and averting their gaze.

Hunter presses a hand back to his chin and smiles when he feels no pain. "Thanks."

"No problem. Anyway, were you practicing pickup lines?"

"Um... maybe?"

"Why?"

Hunter shuffles his feet in embarrassment and fiddles with his hands. "Because... um."

"Awww! Do you have a crush?" Y/N asks, secretly jealous.

"Maybe."

"Who?"

"Promise you won't hate me after I tell you?"

This scares Y/N so much, but they still nod at their friend and say, "Of course, I could never hate you."

"Ok. Um. Here goes. The person I have a crush on is... you?"

Y/N's eyes widen and they gasp. "What?"

Hunter nods nervously, and is caught off guard when Y/N rushes over and hugs him shouting, "I have a crush on you, too!"

Hunter wraps his arms around them and rests his head against theirs with a content smile, one thought ringing clear above the rest in both of their heads; This day turned out much better than I expected it would.

I'll do something other than Hunter soon. I just saw the fanart and was like, "That's a really good idea for a oneshot! Maybe I'll do Amity or Willow next? Till next time!
