Part 11 - The Woods

As you look up at him, you see him move his hand towards your face. You watch it as it moves closer and closer.

Before he can touch you, you grab his hand and put it back in the spot it was previously, you sit up embarrassingly. You utter something along the lines of an apology.

He looks at you and you look back at him for only a second. Your stomach feels like it could be the equivalent of a black hole, sucking out any feeling you had before and replacing it with embarrassment. The silence has only continued to thicken as you both try to process what happened.

"Hey," he breaks the silence, not loudly, but still sudden enough to get a small jump out of you. "Do you want to walk around the woods?"

"Sure, as long as we don't get lost." You stand up and stretch.

"Don't worry, I know these woods like it's the back of my hand."

"I have never seen you not wear gloves."

"Plus, I have... my.. staff.... oh......"

You look at him, a slight giggle exits your mouth as he checks everywhere for the staff. It wouldn't have been the first time he had forgotten it.

"Well! That shall not be an issue, I know this forest well."

You both continue your way on the trail. You look up to Hunter and see that he still has his mask on.

"Hey Hunter?" You look up to him.

"What is it, (Y/n)?"

"Why do you keep your mask on around me? You know I've seen your face?"

"What, am I just that hot?" He flaunts, gaining a quick blush out of you, "heh, the actual reason is that.. it makes me feel more secure when I'm out in public. It's what I'm used to, you know?"

You look at him with a smile, "alright, that's fine, I just want you to be comfortable around me." You playfully elbow him which makes him laugh a little.

You begin to feel a few light drops in your hair, or should I say burning.

"Ow, what the hell?"

"This has to be the worst time it could rain. Come on (Y/n), I know a place full of abandoned houses."

You run after him, trying your best to not lose sight of him. As you go through the trees off of the path, you are having trouble catching up. You feel a sharp pain on your left shoulder, and you start to run faster.

Soon, you encounter an area that has significantly less trees. You see around 20 houses that have met the same fate of being abandoned. A lot of them had holes in the roofs and were surrounded by overgrown grass. You follow Hunter into the street, which was broken and covered in moss.

Hunter had found a house that looked nicer than the rest. You follow him inside.

"I'll go look for anything that can help us," Hunter states to you, "we might be here for a while."

You look at the couch closest to you. It was a dull raspberry color and stood grand in the middle of the room, across from a now broken fireplace.

A/N: Hey guys, I've decided to end this story here, mostly because I'm not interested in the Owl House anymore like I was when I started writing this. Maybe I'll continue it some day if I ever get back into TOH. Love yall, stay safe 💕
