Broken [HuntLow]

5.

[TIMESKIP: After Belos's death]

Willow's POV:

Hunter and I sat in The Owl House, grateful to be on solid land again. Luz had told us all about what had happened, and we both were pretty impressed. Raine and Eda were snuggled up, and so were Luz and Amity. Gus was out talking to Mattholomule, and Camila had taken Vee back to the human realm, since The Collector had created a new portal with their powers. Darius also went with them, to talk about custody for Hunter.

"Hey Willow." Hunter said suddenly.

"Yup?" I said, looking at him.

His face was red, and he was nervously playing with the picture of FlapJack I had given him. "Well... If you still like me, do you maybe want to go on a date sometime?" He muttered.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yes." Hunter replied with a deep inhale.

"Then yes." I said, hugging him.

"FINALLY!" Luz shouted from the other side of the living room. "JEEZ, YOU GUYS TOOK SO LONG!"

Amity patted Luz's head, trying to make her calm down. "Calm down batata."

Hunter glared at Luz and I laughed. They were already acting like siblings.

Darius walked through the door, with Alador and the Blight twins in tow. "I'm back little prince." Darius said, ruffling Hunter's hair.

"Dad! Emira! Edric!" Amity called, hugging her family. "Why are you guys back here?"

"We wanted to tell you that I divorced Odalia, and I have full custody of you kids." Alador said. I smiled, glad that their horrible mom was out of the house now.

Darius sat next to me and Hunter. "I recognize you." Darius said to me. "You're Hunter's 'team captain'."

"Yeah." I said happily.

"I'm glad that Hunter here has friends. I was beginning to think he was a lost cause." He said with a laugh.

"Hey!" Hunter cried. "That's not nice."

Darius grinned. "Your Palismen." He said to Hunter.

Hunter sniffed and burst into tears. Darius hugged him, and so did I. "He's gone." I whispered to Darius.

"Little prince. Do you want to get tattoos of him? As a way to remember him?" Darius asked. Hunter looked up at him and nodded.

Luz and Amity came over to us. "How about all of us get FlapJack tattoos? Including Gus?" Hunter nodded, wiping his eyes.
