The Curse of Memories ☆ | The Golden Guard

☆Fine, I like Hunter☆

A really dialogue-based chapter that took me way too long to write

☆~-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~☆

It's been a couple of days since we all got to the human realm and it's been stressful. It feels nice not to have the impending dome that was the Day of Unity hanging over our heads but now the idea that all of our loved ones may be dead was somewhat worst. We wanted to find a way to get home as quickly as possible but Camila insisted we rest for a few days. I understand why she suggested that now, the first few days I was extremely anxious I just know that I wouldn't have been any help. Not that I'm so much better now, but I've adjusted. I feel bad for Camila, she suddenly was forced to take care of seven children six of whom are from another realm. I mean, sure we've been helping around the house but that didn't change the stress she must feel. And-

'Ugh, what's wrong with my brain? I laid down on the couch to relax yet all I can think about is problems.' I sigh, sitting up from the couch. I hold my head in my hands, my headache seemingly only getting worse.

"So, how's the relaxing going?"

I look up to the person standing behind the couch. "Hey, Amity," I reply.

"Are you feeling alright?" She asks, looking a bit concerned.

"Uh, yeah. It's fine-" I move my legs to make room for her on the couch. "Just a bit of a headache, that's all."

"There's some human medicine you could take for take, I'm sure Camila wouldn't mind."

I consider this for a moment. "I'm not sure if human medicine would help this..."

"What do you mean?"

"I- uhm. Nothing. I'll ask Luz or Camila about it later."

Either Amity doesn't notice or she chooses not to talk more about it. The room is silent aside from the TV in the living room, the volume set to a single-digit number. I rack my brain trying to think of what to say, Amity and I don't talk that much so I don't know much about her. 

"I've been wondering for a while how did you and Luz get together? I was at home sick that day so I wasn't at the owl house when it happened." 

"Oh, did Luz not tell you?"

"Well, kinda. When Luz saw me next she excitedly told me that you two got together, which was about time, but she was talking so fast I couldn't really understand."

Amity laughs at the thought of her girlfriend doing that. "I guess Hooty was trying to help everyone with the things that were troubling them which led to him kidnapping me and trying to set Luz and me up." 

"That sounds like something he would do. I'm so glad that I wasn't there but I don't think there would be a way for Hooty to solve any of the problems I had at the time."

"I can't believe there was a time I was jealous of you..." She whispers to herself.

"Huh?"

"Nothing it was stupid."

"No, what do you mean?"

"OK, fine... When I was first becoming friends with Luz I was a bit jealous of your relationship with her. It just seemed so easy for you to talk to her and make her laugh... And I might have thought you liked her." Amity blushs in embarrassment. 

"Really? " I ask genuinely surprised.

"I know that it was stupid."

"Amity, I'm gay. HOW?" I laugh through my words.
