Love is Love

Sneak.

      It was dead of night, darkness swarmed outside of the windows, only lit by the moon and stars. Y/n got her palismen and opened the window and took off. She wanted to visit her charming, sarcastic, princely boy, Hunter. The journey to the emperor's castle was a short 10-minute ride on her staff. She gazed at the stars wondering if their relationship would last and work out. 

     She was a normal witch at Hexside. He was Emperor Belo's right hand. Hunter had always managed a way to make time for her, but if the rest of his coven found out, surely they would disapprove. That's, why she had to resort sometimes to these nightly visits or somehow coincidently be in the same place as Hunter.

     Y/n saw the castle in view and shuddered. Whenever she snuck into the castle, she always felt an eerie aura of something. Probably the intimidating spikes on the ground if they fell off the bridge leading to the entrance were spooking her, after her first time sneaking to her prince.

     While approaching the castle she slowed down and avoided the guards patrolling around and was zoning out thinking about how they met and the first time she visited.

     "Tell me what you know about the wild witches' plans, I know you are related to one!" he said aggressively the first time they met. 

     Sadly, it wasn't very romantic. Y/N's Mother was a wild witch and had disappeared when they swarmed their old home. Her mother had left her. It was never like mother paid attention to Y/N anyway. Her mother never told her anything. The coven scouts rushed the house and kept Y/N as a prisoner.

"I told you goldie, I don't know anything, my mother kept secrets even from me!" Y/N hissed at the mention of her mother.

      After that integration, hunter slightly was fond of Y/N and told her to "stay clear of him" and promptly told her that he was going to Latissa for an event. Hunter was secretly hoping she would be there, to be honest. Y/N wanted to show to annoy him because come on, she was a prisoner by them!

Followed after many meet-ups, Y/N had the courage to fly to the castle for the first time and-

     She was at the castle now. She came back to reality and tried to remember which window belonged to Hunter's room. Y/N recognized it and the window was slightly open, she reached the window sill and slid the window open, and there he was. 

     But he was arguing with someone. She peered closer inside the window and saw a short figure. Kikimora, she realized. She let a squeak out. 

    "I heard something." Kikimora demanded and stepped closer to the window.

     Y/N's heart skipped a beat and she held her breath and got her palismen and edged away from the window.  Kikimora rushed to the window and glanced out, luckily not seeing her. 

"It was probably nothing, Kikimora I told you I did nothing." Hunter retorted and they were back to arguing.

    Y/N waited impatiently until the argument died down and felt like Kikimora had left by then. She glanced into the window and hunter was alone and sat at his desk and seemed to be studying or something. She opened the window and crept in and her plan was to scare him. 

  "Boo, my prince!" she hugged attacked him and he spun around in surprise.

   "Y/N! What are you doing here?!" Hunter said slightly irritated and mostly worried.

    Y/N gave him a peck on the cheek and was content when he turned into a tomato, "I just want to see you again." 

    "Y/N but I'm busy.." Hunter scoffed seeming a little annoyed.

     She made a face and took a step back, Y/N was somewhat put off by that. Seemed like he was actually busy, "Well, alright. I guess I'll see you some other time." She gripped her palismen and was about to book it out the window.

    "Wait- sorry." he said sheepishly, "I'm just stressed about Kikimora, she keeps accusing me."

    Y/N affectionately and gently combed his hair with her hand. "It's alright, my prince charming, maybe you should take a cuddle break." She suggested.

    Hunter seemed very tempted, and let in. "Fine, it's only cuz I love you, and I'm not your prince" he admitted quietly.

   "Of course you do and you are." Y/N insisted, kissing him again.

   Y/N grabbed his hand and tugged him onto the bed together. 

    Hunter sighed gratefully, "I missed you Y/N." Hunter hugged a little tight Y/N while she sank into a blushing pile and wrapped her arms around his chest and slipped off his cold armor binder. 

    "That's more better.." Y/N said and embraced the hug, laying next to his warm chest comfortably. 

     They rested like that for some time, and before they knew it, both of them had dozed off next to each other peacefully.
