Escaped - Hunter/Golden Guard x Reader

Part 7 - Someone Like You

Over the time spent together, you get to like Hunter. You grow used to that handsome face of his. Along with that, you've grown comfort in the attention and relaxation you've received, never really receiving such at home since your parents have a low wage income. After waiting for so long, your injuries finally heal.

You feel someone next to you. You wake up to see that Hunter had fallen asleep on you. He's lying on the arm that isn't wrapped with a cast covered in your little doodles that you designed in your freetime.

That's weird. He's never slept here before. And even if he had slept here, he would have been up first. Yesterday must have been tiring.

Not wanting to ruin the moment, you lean over and wrap your arms around him, lightly blushing as his arms wrap around you and he opens his eyes.

"(Y/n)?"

Your face starts burning red, "Y-yeah?"

He isn't fully awake, so he slowly but firmly grabs you and pulls you closer so you begin making contact with his chest. He doesn't say anything, but instead closes his eyes.

Being so close to him, feeling it all, your cheeks light up with emotion and heat. You nuzzle into his chest and relax a little. You close your eyes and get ready to take a little nap in his arms.

After a minute or two of this, he pushes you off of him so he can get up.

"aaAAAAAAaaahhj!"

"Good morning to you too, (Y/n)," he composes himself and grabs a cast saw from a nearby shelf. "Today we get to find you a new home, again."

"But I don't want to go," you complain, "I have nowhere to live!" You lightly tug on his shirt and he groans.

"Yes, (Y/n), I'll miss you too," he states, not breaking eye contact with your cast that he is sawing off. You frown as you watch all of your doodles rip apart.

"Well where am I going to live?" You give him a smug look, which he sees from a quick glance and blushes a little.

"Surely the library isn't the only place."

He takes off your cast and you attempt a movement to see that your arm is fully functional again. You sit up and put on the shoes that sat next to you. They feel a little different.

"Um, those are mine," Hunter mentions.

You look down to see his pair of brown boots and you immediately take them off, your face red with embarrassment.

Hunter laughs, "you're very good at embarrassing yourself." He hands over the correct pair of shoes and he puts on his mask and you both go on your way.

"I have a new idea of where you can stay. There is a school nearby."

You can see the name of the school from afar. "Hexide?"

"Yeah. I heard there was another human who goes here. Maybe you could meet her."

Luz...

"Oh, that's wonderful..." your face turns into one of fear. What if she gets mad for me just leaving her?

"Is something wrong?" Hunter asks quietly.

"Well, I knew Luz in the human realm. I don't know if she will like me.."

The bell screams and you see Luz leaving class with her friends. You feel a hand shove you towards them and you look behind you to see that Hunter had left. You start to approach them..

"(Y/n)? Is that you? I haven't seen you in ages!" Luz comes up to you and gives you a hug.

"Hi Luz," you say, reciprocating the hug.

"What'cha doing here? Don't you have a place to stay by now?" She looks down at your oversized, raggedy clothes with holes and seams that are falling apart, to gifted you by Hunter.

"Well, I was going to stay at the library, but my room got kind of.."

"Oh no! You were the one who got crushed?"

"Yeah.. But Hu- I mean, the Golden Guard saved me," you hesitate, "but I need a place to stay now that I'm healed."

"Oh, you can live with me and Eda! I'm sure she won't mind!"

"Eda? Like the Owl Lady?" You tilt your head in disgust, and curiosity.

"Yeah! You can come with us, and maybe even join Hexide!" Luz bounces in excitement.

"Sure! That sounds great."

After school ends, Luz walks you to the Owl House. Every place in this world just keeps looking cooler.

Luz opens the door.

"Who is that?" Eda stumbles.
