Hollow Knight Ships!

Threads and Thorns: Hive Knight X Hornet

Okay, these last two...I think?  Well, these last two I didn't save, so they are the same ship and scenario, just a different...format.

Hornet walked down one of the many endless hallways inside the Hive. She was alone for almost all of the day; Ghost was busy in a meeting with Hive Queen Vespa. Good for him, because, despite being royal, she hated meetings. Because you sit. And talk. And Hornet was pretty terrible at both of those things.

 her thoughts were interrupted however, when she nearly bumped into a bee. Unlike the other bees in the Hive, he was tall, and armored with a breastplate. She could even see the hilt of a nail hanging loosely by his side. "Hello!" He said brightly. "I'm Swarm. Ghost sent me to show you around."

  So now I'm lost and stuck with an obnoxious bee. Thanks a lot Ghost. "Err, nice to meet you Swarm, but I have...things to do." She turned around and started the other way.

 "Wait!" He called, casting up with her. "Ghost told me to stay with you. That's also the wrong way," he added awkwardly. "So, he said as they approached the exit to the tunnel. "Where you from?" She glared. "Alright, not talkative, got it."

 The Hive suddenly opened, into a beautifully carved, huge dome. For the next hour or so, he showed her around, pointing out good places to eat or landmarks. Swarm, also, gradually, began to grow on Hornet. He was just...himself, unlike all the bugs who liked her. She suspected this only because Hornet kept catching him sneaking glances at her, or blushing when she complimented him. He was very cute about it too.

 "And this," he said, interrupting Hornet's thoughts once again, "Is the place to get a drink in the Hive." He turned to her excitedly. "Thirsty?"

 She wasn't really, but said yes just to see him get excited all over again. They both got some sort of honey drink, and when it was ready, dangled their lags over one of the many archways. "How is it?" He asked as she took a sip. It was super sweet, but not in an overpowering way. "Good. Really good," Said Hornet taking another drink.

 Looking very pleased with himself, Swarm started on his own honey. She caught him looking at her out of the side of her eye. She liked him a lot, but didn't really know what to think of it. She had never been attracted to someone in a relationship sort of way, so she didn't know what to think of it. Hornet didn't know how to tell him...or even if to.

 How would he react? Hornet thought of how her other siblings did it.  Well, except for Lifeblood, and God, the poor vessel needed one even more then her. Ghost was super shy about it, and the only reason it really happened was because Marissa suspected it. Hollow did it a bit more independently, despite being even worse at flirting then Tiso.

 Hornet glanced at Swarm, who was cheerfully looking at the scenery. She just...she was too introverted, too shy to tell him. But she wouldn't  have to wait long...

2 Hours Later...

Ghost started toward the  stag station. Hornet looked back at the Hive, sighed, and started to follow. She wished she and Swam could at least have a proper goodbye. She stopped, though, when she heard, "Wait!" Swarm sprinted toward her. "I *pant* just wanted to say bye."

 They embraced quickly, waved, and started their separate ways. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" Hornet paused mid-step as Swarm's words hung in the air. She turned around. "if you don't, it's totally fine, I just-" She threw herself onto him, trying to put a lot of unsaid things into it. And just in case he didn't get all of it, Hornet said, 

"Yes." 

Hive Knight is one of my fav characters, so I had fun writing this. Remember that request are open, so feel free to put them in the comments. The next ship is the last one that i'm rewriting since the story got deleted, so new content is after that. Thanks for reading, and stay updated!
