Change Hunter + villan(?) grimwalker!reader

Request from Tumblr: Hunter and y/n angst? (not romantic) Both Hunter and Y/n are grimwalkers but while Hunter was able to turn his life around and heal, y/n wasn't and has somewhat of a villain arc. (If you've seen Tangled the series, it's the song "Nothing Left to Lose" by Varian and Cassandra) You can decide the ending Q w Q

A/n: Both Hunter and the reader were in the emperor's coven. Also, Y/n is a grimwalker made by Belos but isn't a grimwalker of Celab. It doesn't really matter who they are a grimwalker of though.

After Belos was defeated life seemed to be better. Belos Was gone and the Boiling Isles could heal! But a lot of Belos's secrets were released to the public. One of which is that you were a grimwalker. Not many people paid mind to it. But God was it the only thing you thought about. While your friend. tried to comfort you by saying they didn't care. But how couldn't they? You had just become friends with the hexsqaud. One of the first big things they learned about you is the fact that you're a grimwalker, that couldn't be a good look. Especially you being a grimwalker of someone Belos liked.

But there was also inward disdain. The person you were based on wasn't well documented. So unlike Celab who at least seemed to turn around in the end, your original person could have been a horrible person until the end. And (assuming the person you're based on is a bad person) there really is no way to win. Either you fulfill your purpose and be a villain, or you don't fulfill your purpose but be a good person.

It might seem like an obvious answer. Be a good person! So what if you're not doing what you're "supposed" to do? But can you even be proud of yourself if you're not who you're supposed to be? You are one of the few people who even know your purpose. So who are you to deny it?

You slowly started to shut out your friends. A way to lessen the hurt. But when it came to Hunter, I think it hurt you more to shut him out. He was your only support system in the Emperor's Coven. The only person in the hexsquad you had a really deep relationship with. But that just makes him the most important to cut off... Right?

While you were trying to plot out what to do you heard a knock at your door. You got up and opened the door. Standing in your doorway was Hunter. " Oh, hi Hunter. What do you want?" You tried to add a harshness to your voice at the end. " I just want to talk. May I come in?" "You may." "Thank you," Hunter said as he entered your room. "What would you like to discuss?" "Your recent behavior." You tensed. "What about it?" You asked already knowing the answer. "It's very clear you're trying to seclude yourself. Are you feeling okay?"

You bit the inside of your cheek trying to think of an answer. "I'm fine. I'm just thinking about things." "Such as?" You scrunched up your nose. "Why are you pressing so hard?" "I'm just concerned." You sighed, "It's nothing." Hunter paused. "I do mean to come off as pushy but suddenly not talking to anyone isn't "nothing." "Please not pushing." You said sternly. "Why are you dodging the question so much?" "Why do you care about me so much!?" You yelled and then covered your mouth with your hands.

Hunter looked at you with wide concerned eyes. "I- um- Hunter I just-" You tried to speak but the words wouldn't form. Hunter walked over to you and spread his arms offering you a hug. You got up and quickly accepted it. "Are you ready to talk?"Hunter asked. You slowly nodded.

You explained to him how you were feeling about your relationship with you being a grimwalker. "I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, why didn't you tell us?" "I didn't think you'd care, or maybe you'd think I was evil..." Hunter thought about what to say for a few minutes. "I thought people would hate me for being a grimwalker for a while as well. But nobody seemed to care about it, even after they had time to really think about it. We aren't who we were based off of. Belos wasn't a good person so why should we try to impress him." "Yeah... Yeah! Thanks, for the help." You said leaning into him. "But that was super corny." "It worked though didn't it?"

A/n: It might have strayed away from the prompt a bit so I'm sorry.
