Golden Hour [Hunter x Reader]

15: Knock Knock Get The Door It's Depression

I did end up making it back to the Owl House, back home. It was a little bit of a game of chicken, me in the tree and Hunter on the ground, the two of us having a serious game of a staring competition and first to move initiates the chase or whatever. [P/n] did show up sometime during that and I immediately took my staff and used the invisibility glyph. 

I crashed into my window due to my tears clouding my vision, a choked sob escaping my throat. King had been wandering down the halls at that moment, seeing me in a moment of weakness approached quickly yet cautiously.

"[y/n]?"

I sniffed looking up, wiping my tears away. I knew my eyes were red and puffy, and I knew I looked like a mess. 

"Hey King..." I whispered, once again sniffing. 

"Do you want me to go get Eda?" King wasn't one for emotions and vulnerability, especially when it came to comforting someone. I smiled at the tiny tyrant and simply nodded to answer his question. Crying on the way home get ones throat real sore.

A few moments pass, my sniffing persistent but my crying has only left me with a tear stained face. 

"Hey Kiddo..." Eda, in her glorious harpy mode, was at the doorway. I smiled softly, before sniffing once again and feeling the tears return and threaten to spill over. Eda moved closer to me, shifting back to her witch form and quickly taking me into a hug. 

"Hey..hey..shh. I'm here now. What happened?" Eda cooed, softly, barely above a whisper.

"I wish it was all a bad dream," I started, "It hurts. Everything hurts. Everything is just...Hunter, he-"

"What. the. fuck. did he do." 

"After the other day, I thought we were at least friends. You know what, no, fuck it, more than that." I stood up, now pacing around my room, letting everything out on the table. 

"That boy has chased me all around the city, flirts with my basically on a daily basis, kissed me, TWICE- disappears for days and then has the nerve to go right back to trying to capture me again." I look up to Eda, who was sitting on the edge of my bed, watching me attentively and silently. 

"I like him." I admit into the silence. 

Eda sighed, standing up herself and walking over to me, wrapping me in another secure hug. I rested my head on her shoulder, her hair tickling my face as I softly started to cry. 

"Boys suck." Eda stated. 

"Say it louder for the people in the back." I joked. I pulled away from the hug

"[y/n], you will learn that life is full of sometimes, and with always, and never..." I looked at Eda, picking up now on her more serious tone, "but not with forever." 

"So if you love this boy, tell him. Whether he returns those feelings is up to him, and if he doesn't it is his loss." 

"Thanks mom..." My eyes widen at the realisation, I just called Eda Mom. 
"I AM SO SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO. OH. MY. TITAN." I ran out the room, fuck all this running. I crashed onto the couch in the living room and dove under the blanket.

"[y/n]?" Luz called out.

"[y/n]'s not here right now." 

I assumed Eda had entered the room because I could just feel her gaze on me.

"You cannot do that and just run away."

"Well I did." I retort

"What did they do?" Luz asked. I sat up and made direct eye contact with Luz, and in the most serious voice I could muster.

"I called her mom."
