Random idea, long distance relationship with Hunter and a human reader from the human realm, maybe they have access to a portal key and visit him? Or temporary portals to send messages to each other
This is so cute omg :)
~~~
Titans Blood pooled between dimensions and Earth and the Boiling Isles happened to be more connected than most worlds. Thankfully when the door was destroyed with you on the other side you and Hunter remained in contact despite the setback.
It started with a letter. Hunter received one and having no idea who it was from since it had no seal but curious as it was addressed to him, he paused seeing your handwriting and name on the inside. You gave him instructions in a code you too had on how to send letters back in secret. So you and Hunter began to meet at the pools and send notes to each other. It wasn't big enough for a human or witch to go through but letters, photos, and small trinkets could be passed through. He brought gifts everyday of varying sizes so he could always give you something depending on how big the pools were. Sometimes the pools would stretch of elongate and you could talk through them almost like Facetime but it was never enough to cross over just enough to sometimes hold hands between dimensions or pass slightly larger items to each other.
It became his favorite part of the day and by the way you always smiled and waited for him he had a feeling it was yours too. When he stole the necklace from Amity with the Titans Blood inside he was ecstatic. He hadn't touched the pools he used to communicate with you in fear you wouldn't be able to stay in contact but now that he had the key, he's sure his uncle will be able to create a way back to your world. Back to you.
"Soon (Y/N)... soon." He promises as he holds the key close smiling softly. With this key Belos would open the door back to the human world and he'd finally get to wrap his arms around you once more. And when he did he'd never let you go again.

Hiya!!! Hope you’ve had a good morning/night 😊 Feel free to skip this is seems like an annoying request 😅 Spoilers for Hollow Mind! So I’ve been thinking, after Eda brings back human y/n and Hunter back from Belo’s mind. Instead of Hunter running away to wherever in panic, he stays the night at the Owl House 😱. Sleepover in living room 😴 , y/n finds a some old corny romance film ❤️ 🎞 for them to watch that was buried in Eda’s human junk. Then Hunter and y/n have some sorta heart to heart talk when everyone’s asleep about how they’ll stick together and idk 🤷‍♀️ it’ll be all blushy blushy cuz they have a crush on each other 😩 ❤️
Hunter paused as you fell asleep against him. At first you had just sat him down with you so you could watch a movie. But as you were watching and it got later your head leaned against his shoulder afraid he'd run away if you didn't keep constant contact. Blushing he realized it was also because he'd asked for you to be close and not leave him after what had just transpired in Beloses mind. When you'd all woken up with Edas help you grabbed him before he could run and he had collapsed in your arms a mess of emotions.
He was still a mess of emotions. However, as his hands hovered awkwardly over your sleeping form he was regretting this decision. Not because you were here of course but... this. This was improper.
Staring up at the ceiling his uncles talks about touching and pre martial touching came to mind, bouncing around his head. How this was sinful and how indulgence of the flesh lead to wild and wreckless behavior. But his uncle had lied. His uncle was wrong. And he liked your touch. This wasn't sinful... It was soft and gentle and unlike anything he'd ever felt before. You were unlike anything he'd ever known before.
Swallowing Hunters eyes glanced at you nervously before he slowly lowered his hands. One rested on your back while the other gently went through your hair grounding him. You hummed in your sleep making him stiffen as he thought he did something wrong but then you snuggled closer and all the tension left his body as he went limp under your sleeping form.
Humming softly to ease his troubled mind, the movie you'd put on earlier was still playing. Luz had mentioned it was an old favorite before she drifted off and that Hunter would like it. She wasn't wrong as the boy was pretty enraptured. All the people on Edas screen had round ears and their outside world was full of green just like his uncle said. He chuckled softly remembering the stories Belos used to tell him, before he flinched violently remembering being hit for asking too many questions. How Belos had hurt him time and time again. How Hunter allowed it to happen because he thought it was right.
It wasn't right.
"... Hunter?" It was slurred and quiet but the moment he heard it the boy realized his mistake.
"I'm sorry, go back to bed." You make a sleepy sound leaning into his shoulder before you slowly pull away. He twitches, his hand reaching out for you as he wanted to pull you back. He wanted to keep you safe and close and warm forever and never let you go. He never wanted you to face what he had.
But you'd been in the Emperor's mind and you'd seen the horrors that resided there. There was no going back now.
"Wat time is it?" You're still slurring as he stews in his thoughts but he can tell it's not purposeful. As you rub at your eyes and yawn he reaches out but stops. Feeling unsure Hunters hand hovers as he watches you slowly wake up. He wants to rub your shoulders and arm, soothe you back to sleep but he hesitates. He puts his hand to his side before stiffening as you lean against his shoulder again. Your eyes glance at the clock before you let out a yawn. "It's late. Why are you awake?" You question gently looking up at him from your resting position.
"I Ummmm... well..." Stuttering out a weak response you hum in understanding.
"Can't sleep because your thinking about things?" You question softly. Looking away as he thinks about what to say back he pauses as Flapjack flies Infront of his face and pulls on his long loose hair strand.
"Hey not now bird!" He whines trying to smack Flapjack away but the palismen doesn't listen and tugs at Hunter again. Hunter groaning follows the tug only to realize Flapjack is pulling him towards you. Bringing you closer. FlapJack once satisfied let's go and lands in your hair much to your surprise. He chirps something you can't understand but it makes you giggle regardless.
Hunter loved your laugh.
You can't understand FlapJack but Hunter is starting too. Hearing his companion speak about you makes him pause. His eyes widen in surprise as his face darkens and you smile in response, your gaze going from the bird to Hunter.
"Whenever you're ready Hunter. I'll listen." You state before shifting to put your full weight on him. Hunter swallowed hand hovering and hesitating before you took it in your own and intertwined your fingers. You kept looking up at him but soon your breathing was shallow, your grip loose despite his tight hold, and your eyes fluttered shut. He held you close letting you lean on his chest where it was more comfortable as he pulled up a spare blanket for the both of you.
As FlapJack settled from his perch on your shoulder to Hunters head the boy swallowed. He wasn't ready. Not yet. But someday... He would be. And you'd be right there with him.

Hunter after really hard missions will change so there's no blood and then go to your room. Usually after a long day your reading or drawing since all your work is done and you need to decompress. He has a habit of just crawling into the bed and curling into your side especially if you're in a blanket or pillow fort. He doesn't tell you what happened just stays cuddled there clinging to you tightly. You know not to ask because he'll just start crying and maybe even get upset enough to leave, so you just play with his hair with one hand as you continue to do what you were doing. You start talking softly or hum something comforting so there's background noise for him.

Could you do (if you are caught up) hunter x reader comforting him after hollow mind? Just hurt/comfort fluff 😭
Slight spoilers but also not? Can be read as Run away Hunter fic? Anyways proceed with caution as can be perceived as spoilers
~~~
"Not as comfortable as the castle but way safer." You state as you plop down on a beanbag cushion you borrowed from one of the many classrooms of Hexside. More of them surrounded you and leaning back the blankets and pillows you'd taken made you feel better as you closed your eyes and took a deep breath from all the heavy lifting you'd just done. Clenching your eyes shut trying to ignore the oncoming tears Hunter chuckled nervously sitting next to you after he said everything.
"(Y/N)." He states and you glance at him, his magenta eyes staring into the distance as he tries to process what had happened to him. You were in the same boat trying to process his story and decide your new allegiances.
Glancing behind him a desk had been dragged back here with all the GrimWalker books you'd snagged from the library. A giant pile of empty papers and pens laid next to said books giving him plenty of tools to research and make notes. You didn't know how to react to Hunter being a GrimWalker but regardless he was your friend so you guessed it didn't matter. You had some light glyphs on the desk but there was a lamp too just incase the lights turned off after school hours. You'd never stayed that late with all your Emperor's Coven training so you didn't know.
You'd also found the Emerald Entrails uniform he'd worn before with Willow and her team so he no longer had to wear the Golden Guard uniform. Your own clothes had been ditched for your school uniform awhile ago, a fellow students locker curretully munching on them as you felt suffocated by the white and gold colors.
You'd made this little set up for Hunter since this part of the school was under construction and wouldn't be touched for quit awhile with Bump still trying to fund it. You hoped it'd be okay for Hunter since he was used to much cushier living. It was all you could think of for now since you also lived in the castle so your room wouldn't be safe for him.
God with Hunter on the run... And you too you guess? How could you go back knowing what you knew now? I mean your uniform had already been eaten, you'd have to figure out the sigal on your arm later. You hadn't seen your parents since you joined the Coven, barley convincing the Emperor to allow you to continue studying at school much less stay with them. It hit you that you and Hunter were both on your own huh? You didn't have the Coven to support you anymore.
"... Thankyou." Hunter finally says and you nod before grabbing your backpack taking out some food. Handing him something you'd found in the cafeteria used to taking care of him as before you he never really did, he gladly takes it and sits at the desk to devour the meal.
He had blankets, pillows, cushions, snacks, as well as a few other comfort items. For now this was the best you could do and hopefully he was set. You supposed you'd return home and warn your parents. But would they even want you back? You burned so many bridges to get where you were in the Coven. You had sacrifice everything.
"... I'm sorry." You whisper suddenly and Hunter stops eating to look at you. You have tears in your eyes and your unsure of what to do now. You'd distracted yourself by dragging all this stuff here after he told his story focusing solely on helping him but now that it was done and you were really processing what he said you couldn't believe your Emperor did this. Your friend. Your mentor. His own uncle.
He lied...
"Hey. Hey it's gonna be okay." Hunter says unsure and you shake your head. How was any of this okay?
"I'm sorry Hunter, I just... I can't believe he's lied to us. I can't believe he tried to..." Tried to kill him. Tried to kill Hunter. His Newphew. His family.
Standing up you hug Hunter wrapping your arms tightly around him. "hey it's..." He starts but you can feel the tears dripping down his face onto your shirt. Your own tears begin to pour and your both left crying messes as you hang onto each other.
"It's not okay." You state and you feel Hunter stiffen but hugging him tighter, not letting go he loosens in your hold before squeezing back. "But it will be." You promise softly. "We'll be safe here. We'll protect each other." You state and as FlapJack appears with something to add to the hide out you pull away and wipe at your eyes to look at the bird.
You'd protect each other and when this was all over you'd tell everyone the truth. Maybe it wasn't okay now but as Hunter held your hand and FlapJack flew around the both of you, you knew it would be.

What about platonic yandere hunter/goldengard so y/n find hunter having a breakdown in the castle halls so they decided to calm him down and take him to his room and hunter becomes very protective and possessive of y/n and starts to see them as a parent or older sibling
Forgot to mention that y/n is older then hunter and sorry if my English is not that good I’m still working on it
Going with older sibling :)
Also your English is amazing A+
~~~
"Hunter? Hunter." You state softly. Taking off his mask you push your hands through his messy hair gently moving it to the side to looks for any wounds he could've gotten under the mask. His magenta eyes flicker up to stare at you as you call his name. Their wide in panic and you had to keep your hands from shaking. He needed you to be the adult right now. "Deep breaths Hunter. Deep breaths." You state seeing how much he was shaking. He nods but gasps with each breath he takes, a little strained whistle escaping his gap teeth. Staring at him not sure what to do you look around the hallways before swallowing.
Pulling him into a tight hug the Golden Guard begins sobbing against you as you just hold him in your arms. You close your eyes and begin to softly hum that song you know he likes. Shifting your cloak so it's around him picking him up, you slowly start walking him to his room when he didn't object. He clings to you tightly and you move quickly, he needed to be someplace private and someplace quiet.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I failed I failed..." He repeats over and over but you just shake your head softly as you keep him close. He's lighter than you thought you think as you carefully adjust him. He hadn't failed, you were ambushed and what happened wasn't anyone fault. The Emperor would be angry but you were older and wiser and had been in the coven longer, you'd report what happened and take the blame for the team. Hunter may have been higher ranked but you were older and second lead. This was no one's fault but the Emperor needed someone to blame.
"You didn't fail Hunter. You don't need to be sorry." You keep repeating slowly before you finally make it to his room. You help him remove his armor until he's just in his clothes underneath and you stay with him until he passes out on his bed. Pulling up his blanket you close your eyes hand rubbing his back in soothing circles to help him stay calm.
Emperor Belos would not be pleased...
~~~
Your double shift had just ended for the day. You'd been getting more and more of those as of late and you had a feeling it was the Emperor's way of punishing you. He hadn't killed you so at least there was that.
Walking down the hall you stretch. It was a long shift and it left your body sore and mind tired. Heading back to your room to get some well deserved rest you stop when you see some of your friends on shift. Ones you hadn't been able to catch up with for awhile.
"Hey." You greet tiredly as you lean against a wall to stop and talk to them. Your mask hung from your belt and they removed their own masks to stop and chat with you. As Steve hands you a rations bar you smile and begin eating it greatful. You had missed lunch and were starving. Beginning to laugh as Steve said a joke they all suddenly passed dead silent. As they stiffen and straighten some reaching for their masks you feel a hand grip your wrist.
"What are you doing out of formation?" A familiar voice questions and turning you see Hunter. You smile at him and tuck the ration bar away for later.
"Oh Golden Guard." You greet knowing how he hated anyone calling him his real name when it came to the field. "These are my friends. I was just saying goodnight." You explain quickly. You hadn't seen Hunter since his episode but you'd kept your word and stayed silent about it. You doubt even Belos knew what happened that day. Simply taking your word and leaving it at that since you were loyal and had never lied to him before.
"You have a mission with me. They need to get back in uniform and go back to work before I report them for treason." He states harshly making you blink in surprise.
"Woah Hunter thats-" You start but he turns sharply. His mask is angled at you and for once you feel scared of the man behind the mask. Something that had never happened before.
"It's Golden Guard." He retorts harshly and you nod feeling guilty at saying his real name. But still you were exhausted, you needed to rest. You were in no condition to do another mission and your friends clearly agreed.
"Respectfully Golden Guard Sir.(Y/N) just pulled a double shift you can't make them do another mission they need to get some-" One tried to plea your case as you were incapable of saying no to Hunter but he cuts them off.
"Talking back is insubordination. I suggest you stick to your lane soldier. (Y/N) and I are higher ranked than any of you and one wrong word to Emperor Belos could stain your reputation permanently." He threatens as his grip on your hand increases. You hiss and he pauses but remains firm.
"Hunter enough." You scold trying to make him stop but he simply tugs at your arm pulling you along. As you stumble down the hallway his grip never loosening you look back at your friends. They look away placing their masks back on before going on with their shifts. Steve giving you an apologetic shrug before you turn a corner and loose sight of them.
"Hunter?" You question but he remains silent. "Hunter." Stating his name instead of asking it he glances back at you, golden mask emotionless.
"The Emperor wants you on another mission. If you come with me you can rest on the air float while I drive. Otherwise you might get assigned somewhere where you could get hurt." He admits quietly and you hum rubbing at your eyes.
"Thankyou but you know treating my friends that way wasn't kind. You could have just told me." You hum and he simply swallows before looking away.
"I'm looking out for you." Is all he states and you nod letting yourself get dragged along. You notice the way his grip tightened when you said friends but you let it be. Hunter was just protective right? There was nothing to worry about...
Right?

may I suggest the collector x reader where he wants to play truth or dare and then he asks for a truth who the reader has a crush on and the reader tries to lie but the collector gets it out eventually.
"Truth or dare?" Collector questions popping up out of nowhere. Rolling your eyes with a smile used to his antics and surprise visits, you supposed you weren't really doing anything else. Sitting criss-cross on your bed with a plate of food on your lap and a glass in your hand you think about his question but your thoughts wander.
Today was a relaxing day in the Emperor's Coven and other than your little shadow friend showing up it had been really quiet. You decided to have lunch in your room and take a day to catch up on paperwork trusting your scouts to go about their schedule without your guidance but it seemed the Collector picked up on your plans and decided to drop by. "Truth or Dare?" He questions again getting closer as he repeats his question getting impatient.
"Hmmmmm..." You remember last time you agreed to say dare and decided to play it safe hoping you could keep damage to a minimum while still appeasing your friend. "Truth." You finally answer, curious on what the little guy will ask you. Groaning he throws his head back and floats away from you.
"Ugh boring... fine!" He states before looking around your room as he scans his mind for what to ask. Taking a bite of your food, letting him think about the question he wants answered you finish your bite. Starting to sip your drink your eyes focus on the shadow boy waiting for him to tell you your question. "Tell me your crush!" He finally blurts out looking really excited at his idea.
You start to choke not expecting him to ask that. Letting out giggles at your reaction he puts his head in his hands and floats around your room kicking his feet as he waits for your answer.
"... my crush?" You ask surprised as your face slowly started to darken. He gets super close and nods making your face flush even brighter. Your eyes dart to your wall focusing on a certain Golden Guard before you quickly look away staring at your food instead.
On your wall theres several pictures. There's lots of you and the covenheads at events, you and your fellow captains at work, the team you were appointed, your first year as scout class, you becoming an official part of the Emperor's Coven, and many more relaxed photos of you and Hunter. Realizing that's the one you had focused on you take another bite of your food trying not to give it away. What if he told Belos? No Collector wouldn't do that, Belos didn't know he even talked to you. But... oh Titan, what if he started messing with you and Hunter?
"Well........" Collector asks and you don't make eye contact as you keep eating.
"Nope don't have one!" You respond much to Collectors annoyance. He spins around before turning and narrowing his eyes at you.
"You're not playing fairrrrrrrrrr!" He whines. Stifling a chuckle you force more food in your face so he has to wait to ask you another question. He watches you curiously before he turns his head. His eyes go to the wall where you'd just been staring. "Oh a guessing game!!!" He states suddenly and your eyes widen.
"Collector no!" You argue swallowing your food quickly to try and stop him but he doesn't listen and just laughs as he begins messing with your photos.
"We're the bestest of friends so it can't be me!" Collector chirps despite the fact he's not even on the photo wall for safety reasons. After all you weren't supposed to know about him.
His finger suddenly taps Emperor Belos, the picture being you rising in rank and him congratulating you for your hard work. His staff pressed against your shoulder as all your coworkers stood around you congratulating you. "Too old, too mean." He states and you suddenly feel the need to defend your boss. Opening your mouth Collector beats you too it, making another comment. "Hmmmm... Raven lady she's also too old. She's pretty though and nice to you." He hums tapping Lilith's face before he moves onto a different picture. "Raine... They're the most fun!" Collector states as he looks at the way you hold your instruments in the photo before shaking his head. "But they're too old. You work with a lot of old people." He teases. Crossing your arms he just chcukled continuing.
"Okay that leaves... EberWolf. No too slobbery. Vitimir? Ugh potion breath. Terra is ancient and also mean." Collector frowns as he squints. "Adrain is mean spirited and not funny or fun. Hettie is scary. Orsan could be your grandpa. Darius is up there on the list but still too old." Taping his finger to his chin as he continues to look at all the photos you sign in relief thinking he's going to give up.
"See I don't-" Before you can finish your statement a shadow silhouette of Hunter is staring at you. The black and white form of Collector mimicking your crush smiles widely at you as you swallow.
"I win the guessing game!!!" Collector states through Hunters shadow form before erupting into a fit of giggles and morphing himself back. "So you and the plant huh?" He questions.
"... The plant?" You ask confused. Did he mean Hunter? Collector suddenly covers his mouth as if he said something he wasn't supposed to. Staring at you he begins to backtrack.
"I mean the Golden boy! The blonde haired brat! The prince! The Emperor's personal Guard! Boy who gets hearts every time you walk by!!!" Collector begins to blurt out other nicknames and descriptions. The more he gives you the more your face brightens.
"Okay. Okay. I get it." You murmur embarrassed. Collector giggles again and you look back at him.
"My turn! Dare!" Looking up at Collector you don't trust that look in his eye as he urges you to go on and tell him your dare. So much for a peaceful day.

I got a prompt for you! Hunter maybe leaves the Coven (definitely not with Belos, that guy sucks, anyway) and ends up moving into the owl house and attending Hexside, where he ends up meeting the reader and ends up crushing on them. The others definitely tease him about it, and it’s like Amity crushing on Luz all over again. And anything that they do makes him blush. Compliment him? Ears are red. Hug him out of the blue? Cheeks are red. Laugh at his jokes/quips? He’s over the moon. And there’s a reason why I’m requesting why he ran from the Coven. Reader helps him escape the guards together and maybe need to hide in a closet, idk, do with this as you will. They/Them for Reader please. Have a nice day!
How do you like predicting what happened in the show lol. Also gender is always non specific :)
~~~
Holding your knees to your chest you glanced at Hunter shyly. You both were pretty close in the cramped custodial closet but at least the guards hadn't found your little hiding place. Shifting to try and give Hunter some space he scooted closer when he heard noises outside. His hand reaching for yours instinctively. As he holds your hand close, your glad it's dark because your cheeks are on fire.
Flapjack was currently nestled in your hair and was silent as he glared at the door. All of you holding your breath as you waited.
Face red as Hunter grips you as if to protect you if anything happens, the boy gets closer free hand clutching the base of his staff in case you have to fight. The staff crosses over his body and yours ready to do a spell circle or make a shield.
"Hunter I..." Looking up at him his magenta eyes made your heart thrum in your chest. In the dim light you notice him put his finger to his mouth and you nod guessing this wasn't the best place for a confession. I mean there were buckets and mops surrounding you on either side and cleaning products scattered about. Still opportune moments were far and few in between and you wanted him to know how you felt, confident he felt the same.
Finally after minutes but what feels like hours the guards footsteps fade and the shadows shift leaving the doorway. Leaning against Hunters shoulder you let out a silent sigh of relief.
Hunter glances at you and you stare back at him a small smile on your face. Now to get out of here and find your friends.
"... Ummm what were you going to say?" He questions face red as he immediately backs off you. His hand goes to fiddle with his loose strand of hair and Flapjack chirps flapping his wings as he flies from your hair to Hunters. The base of the staff in Hunters hand disappears as FlapJack claims his hair as his own and his face glows in the dark space for a moment. Golden light illuminating his features. Your face becomes pinker than his eyes as you nervously look away with a chuckle.
"Ummm well I..." You start before pausing as figures stand outside your door. Pushing you back where you'll be safer and kneeling in front of you as he glares at the door flapjack and him are ready to attack. As the door opens and the closet fills with light you jump up and smile.
"Gus! Willow! Amity!" Running out you help Hunter up who has a blush on his face from your assistance and how close the two of you had been.
"Are you alright? There are guards everywhere!" Gus responds and you hug your little man before looking down the hallway. One hand glows as the other reaches behind you to grab Hunters hand. His face is immediately on fire and you smile at him, cheeks tinged a dark red as well.
"We gotta go." You state as Amity and Willow run up ahead.
"Mmmmhmmmm. Yeah! Just what I was thinking." He states voice getting high as he looks to the floor following you. His face still pink as you two begin to run.
"(Y/N)!" Seeing Viney and Skara call out to you, you smile at Hunter before leaving him with the trio as you run ahead to check on your other friends. Hunter feels a flare of jealousy as you hug them but he knows you were just worried about everyone and that seeing them was a relief to you.
"So do anything in the closet? Inquiring minds must know." Gus teases as he bumps Hunters shoulder making Hunters face somehow get redder.
"Why was your hair all messed up?" Willow questions eyes squinting in suspicion from behind her green glasses.
"No we didn't- now is not the time! We're being hunted!" Hunter protests as he glares at Gus than Willow. Gus chuckles in response while Willow just smiles mischeviously.
"Likley story." Gus hums making Hunter groan frustrated. He looks towards you and your mutual friends again and as you glance back at him his eyes dart away as his face darkens. You don't seem to notice and begin talking to the girls next to you.
"You two are worse than me and Luz, you know that?" Amity teases as Willow and Gus begin to giggle in agreement. Flapjack chirps something and Hunter groans covering his face as they rush down the twisting hallways.
"So when are you going to ask them out?" Willow inquires making Hunter swallow nervously. Ask you out? He could barley form a coherent sentence around you. Dating was not on the table.
"Now is not that time. Although-" He stops in his tracks everyone pausing to stare at him. Had that been what you wanted to talk about? Was that what you were going to say in the closet before he interrupted you? Face getting darker he groans and throws his head back making Flapjack chirp concerned.
He's so stupid!!!
"I'm an idiot." He states staring at your back with wide eyes before you looped around a corner disappearing from his sight.
"Hunter were they gonna confess and we ruined it?" Gus questions dramatically. When he doesn't respond Willow gasps.
"Oh my god Hunter!!! I can't believe it, they were going to confess first!" She states shaking his arm excitedly. The magenta eyed boy simply stared at her. You... you were?
"Who confesses on the run?" Amity responds pulling at Willow while Gus pulls at Hunter. Thinking back to who you hang out with and how her and Luz had almost confessed at Grom while fighting the monster her face flushes.
Oh.
"Hypocrite! Anyways what do you plan on doing with our little angel?" Gus questions as Hunter once again covers his face. "First date? Second date? Third date?" Gus pushes eyes narrowed as he goes into protective mode.
"I don't know? I have to tell (Y/N) I like them before we actually do anything. And now's not the time. Although... Maybe the library or-" Running into something Hunter stumbles back before he gets ready to go into attack mode. However, FlapJack chirping and flying in his face makes him stop. Your faces are both red and you look embarrassed but also happy as you smile at him.
"You like me too?" You question and Hunter can't look away from you. You liked him? He liked you???
"Marry me!" He blurts out and you begin to laugh. He looks away embarrassed beyond all belief that he said that thinking your laughter was a rejection but holding your hand out he pauses. Taking it slowly wrapping his fingers around yours in a tight hold, you smile at him before leaning forward briefly pressing your lips too his. As his cheeks darken you smile pulling away.
"Maybe someday." You hum before winking at him as you squeeze his hand. "Come on, we have somewhere safe to go!" You state and he nods following after you with a dumbstruck look.
He'd follow you anywhere...

Could you do a head cannon of Darius x fem!reader who’s a Clawthorne? Like they met at Hexside and were childhood sweethearts, and now they see one another at the rebellion meeting and have like a heart to heart moment. Just lots of awkward fluff lol (and only when you get the time ofc!!)
All readers are gender neutral
...
You were in Hexside Potions like your sisters. While you had your own interests you weren't sure how to feel about always being lumped in with Eda and Lilith. You liked having your two sisters around and being in the same track as them but always being told you weren't as good as Lilith or as innovative as Eda left you in a strange place in the family. Classic Middle Child syndrome even though you were the younger sibling.
Despite this you got along well with your sisters. Eda always took you on her wild adventures and Lilith helped you study and learn. They cared about you and wanted you to always know you could depend on them. While you were always compared to the two they made sure to spend time where your own interests and hobbies were explored. They wanted you to be your own person as much as you needed to be your own person.
You always had a deep longing to explore. You'd spend hours mapping out the secret parts of the school and wandering around the woods near your house. You wanted to see the Entire Isles someday and maybe even past that. While Eda and Lilith didn't understand your want to leave they did support your habits and enjoyed finding new places with you.
Darius while he befriended your sisters first, fell head over heels in love with you once you met. While you were always compared to your siblings both at home and at school, he taught you that you weren't them. He saw you for you and he never let you think he saw your sisters. While he saw ClawThorne traits in you, he knew you were all you and he loved you for that.
Whenever one of them had a fight (which was growing more frequent as graduation approached) and stormed off you always knew where they were going. Able to find and calm them down the quickest it became your job. Your sisters relied on you for balance and often aired their grievances with you, you were the glue that kept the family together through all the arguments and bitterness.
As you spent more time with Darius and your relationship went from friendly to flirty you realized what you needed and that was space. As you distanced yourself from your sisters and grew closer with Darius you told each other everything. He taught you all about his track and working with abominations. He showed you all of his tricks and gave you peaks into his special research he didn't let anyone else see. You spent your days discussing your potion track but also anything and everything that came up. Your mother's beast business, your father's palismen carving shop, his advanced studies at the castle. You could talk for hours and you often did, enjoying how much he listened.
You had a habit of being able to find lost things and knew all the hiding places in Bones Borough. So you spent your time going on new adventures with Darius. While he collected abomination supplies and tested new spells you told stories and mapped out your favorite areas. You always knew the best place to get ingredients for potions or the best places to lay low when one of your sister's got you in trouble.
As you became more and more distant from your sisters finding yourself and who you were, the curse happened and changed everything. While you didn't know Lilith was the one who cursed Eda you had your suspicions. Your older sister had taken an interest in the Night Market asking you questions that made you hate yourself for not paying closer attention. Your mother neglected you and Lilith focusing everything she had on Eda and her new curse. Your father did his best to reach out but was never the same after Eda attacked him in her Owl Beast form. You tried to be that glue again, to keep your family together but as Eda pushed you away and Lilith worked towards her dream of becoming an Emperor's Coven member you all grew apart. Eventually you couldn't take it anymore and knew after graduation you needed to leave.
You told Darius everything. He supported you, loved you, helped take care of you. But when you mentioned leaving, sailing far away to explore new places and coming back with your knowledge you realized how far you'd drifted from him while trying to keep your family together.
Sadly it was the very things you bonded over that inevitably split you up. While you had been focused on Edas curse and helping with Lilith's coven training he took his place mentoring under the Golden Guard. You didn't want to leave him but you found yourself wanting a different life. One away from your family and Bones Borough where you could grow and explore. You begged him to come with you but he said being the Head Witch of the Abomination Coven was too important to give up. You wanted to stay but knowing you'd be miserable, knowing your family had big plans, you left to give it all time. Hoping that you'd someday meet again.
The years pass and while you write him the occasional letter you haven't seen Darius in a long time. You had taken trips back to the Boiling Isles over the years to see your family and check on old friends whenever you turned in new maps you'd made but you avoided him. It hurt you to do so but you couldn't open that old wound, couldn't see him again lest you fall in love all over again.
Lilith always implored you to join her in the Emperor's coven with every trip home and Eda wanted you to come with her on wild adventures. Mom always asked if you'd eaten recently before giving you a giant meal and pestering you about visiting more while dad asked about your work and life on the sea. Much had changed and much stayed the same as the years passed and you came and went. You remained covenless and neutral escaping the system by constantly traveling and never staying in one place long.
The last time you returned however things were different. This time you stayed. Eda and Lilith finally working all of their feelings and secrets out. Lilith left the coven choosing Eda over her life as head witch. Your suspicions were confirmed and Lilith admitted to cursing Eda. They know shared the curse and we're openly plotting a rebellion. Beloses Day of Unity was not as Uniting as it sounded.
As you stayed with your sisters plotting against the throne and throwing a secret rebellion you were no longer the glue. You got to explore and be free without feeling trapped. Your sisters not needing you to resolve every argument and fix every problem they had. Luz your sisters new apprentice also helped keep the house peaceful and for once in a long time you felt everything could be right again. That it could go back to how it was.
You spent your days mapping out hiding places for the rebellion. Creating forts and safe houses with your magic and knowledge of hidden spaces in the Isles. While you were a small group now you felt unrest in the system. Others believed Belos was wrong as well, believed what he was saying and what he was planning were different. Believed the coven system was wrong. As the Day of Unity got closer you felt the unrest grow bigger.
You were right. Half the coven heads were on your side and as you learned this you couldn't believe you didn't see it earlier. You loved this man once upon a time a long time ago and here he was saving the day again. Seeing him in front of you all those feelings came flooding back, you were a young teen in love again. Before you could stop yourself you were running forwards and jumping into his open arms.
Darius stumbled back but didn't let go as you held onto each other. He tucked you under his chin clinging tightly to you and you felt hot tears spill down your cheeks. You had missed him. While you loved exploring and learning and sending the occasional letter back home you missed everything about him and that aching in your heart you'd felt all these years finally fell silent.
It was a tearful reunion one you knew couldn't last long but as you whispered apologies to each other both holding on for dear life you knew everything would be okay. Whatever happened at least you had each other.

I was wondering if you could do a hurt sibling x hunter I feel like he would be really worried/protective of them 🥺❤️
You were adopted by the Emperor's Coven. Taken in by Belos as a form of publicity but also as an example. Your family came from a long line of powerful witches, witches who refused to succumb to his rule. Having you under his thumb after their fall gave him not only a powerful weapon but an edge. After all you were a very clear warning of what could happen to any other witches who may try to defy him. He may not be as nice with other people's children.
So you and Hunter grew up together. As Royal Siblings, raised by your uncle. He could've peterfied you like your parents. Killed you like so many assumed he would but he showed a rare sign of mercy. Of kindness. After all how could he deny Hunter a possible friend? Plus you kept the brat away from him and distracted so it left him satisfied.
But now you were hurt. Badly.
Belos didn't really care for you. Hunter in a sense. But you? No. Not really. However, Hunter did. He loved you more than anything. You grew up together. You were his sibling. And if he lost you he'd never be the same.
"Terra! Terra get the head of the healing coven! Quickly!" He demands as he drags you through the castle doors. They bang against the walls as he runs through them and scouts quickly crowd around the young prince and you too see what's wrong and do what they can to help. The woman who was at the door casting spell circles over her plants does as asked, leaving her gardening to get Belos and the other coven heads. Acid rain was pouring outside and you both had been partially burned but that wasn't the problem.
A mission had gone terribly wrong and now Hunter held you as best he could in his arms. His breathing was shallow and he was struggling to hold you up after the long trek back to the castle. You'd taken a hit meant for him and now here you were trying to stay conscious and biting your tongue to keep from crying out in pain.
A scout reached out for you to take you but Hunters grip was tight and he refused to let go. He had lost in mask in the scuffle and glared at anyone who came near as none of them were medics and he was clearly prepared to use his staff if they tried to seperate you both.
"... It's okay... it's okay..." He whispers as they all watch unsure of what to do. You just moan softly in response, pain coursing through your body as you lean your full weight against your brother. His hands carefully touch your face before they go to the main wound trying to block the blood. He would be dead. He would be dead. He would be dead. This should be him. This should be him. This should be him.
Shaking Hunter slowly tried to move you as he held you close pulling you with him. He began humming a song you liked softly as he dragged you deeper into the castle waiting for the potions and healing coven heads to come. Blood dripped onto the floor and he closed his eyes trying not to look at it.
"Hunter what happened?" Darius demands at the comotion but stops as he sees you in Hunters arms. You were barley conscious, originally able to limp along the forest floor with Hunter now you were holding on by a thread as Hunter continued to hum, the humming getting more aggressive to try and keep you awake. The other guards looked terrified of him and as Darius rushed forwards to help Hunter cried out as your vision began to blur and you went limp in his arms.
"Do SOMETHING!" He demands as he crumples to the floor with you in his arms.
~~~
Groaning as you wake up you can feel the bandages before anything else.
"... What... what happened?" You question through a throat that feels like it's full of sandpaper. Opening your eyes slowly, you groan and look away from the light before you squint your eyes adjusting to the bright room and focusing on your surroundings. Your ribs hurt and with every breath you took your vision blurred for a second. Biting your tongue fighting through the pain, a sign on the door informed you that you were in the castles infirmary. A private room where you often got checkups with Hunter when you were little.
Panic filled you as you thought of Hunter. Where was he? Was he okay? Struggling a bit to try and get up your too sore and numb to fully move.
Using all your strength to move your head relief flooded you once you saw him. Hunters face was squished against his arms his blonde hair tilted to one side and as your eyes scanned him you saw he was okay. He had a few bandages from what you think was acid rain if you remember what happened before blacking out correctly but his face otherwise had no new scars. He was wearing his uniform with his mask in his lap. The boy was leaning against the bed softly snoring making little whistling sounds with his cute Gap teeth.
Smiling softly you shift before pausing as pain shot through your body. Right he was relatively unhurt because you took the major hit.
"You're awake." A voice chirps and looking away from Hunter with some strain it's one of the healing coven members, their dark blue sleeves being a dead give away to what coven they resided in.
"How long...?" You whisper throat still sore as you struggle to speak. They come closer and smile at you casting a circle over your chest before they place a damp rag on your forehead. The rag relieves pressure in your head and your ribs feel better as it becomes easier to breathe.
"A few days." They start as they begin to assess you carefully. They adjust the pillow behind your head and you hum falling back into the soft covers. "It was touch and go for awhile there, but everything is fine now." They chirp and you nod before groaning as a wave of pain goes through your body like fire. You needed to stop moving. Seeing your discomfort they cast another circle covering you in blue light for a moment. "He waited for you, the prince. Hasn't moved from that spot since we started healing you. We had to put a sleep spell on him so he wouldn't hurt himself or you in his panic. His quick thinking saved you. You have a very loyal brother." They inform you and you smile before looking to your brother.
"Believe me. I know." You respond. Hand slowly and carefully going to his hair you gently ruffle it like how he likes. "Thank you." You state softly and the coven head nods before leaving. Your still a little sore in some areas and in a bit of pain but you'll let them go rest before you request anything. They've likley had a long couple of days. No doubt Hunter had too.
"... Your awake?" He murmurs leaning into your touch and you make a noise still getting used to speaking. Hunter nods sleepily and as your hand stops moving through his hair he reaches out and takes it in his own. His fingers intertwine with his and as he presses his cheek into the sheets his other hand trace's shapes against your palm. Flapjack moves from out of the boys cape and settles on your chest softly chirping. "They said you might not wake up."
~~~
You were up and around now and had finally started working again after some time off to heal. Once you'd awoken the healing coven admitted that things had become much easier when it came to your health and overall care. Well most things. Hunter hovered since the incident. And he hovered a lot.
At first you didn't mind him sitting next to you on check ups and helping you get items or do things he thought you shouldn't. Reminding you to take your meds and insisting he re-bandage anything that needed to be changed. But a week or two in of his hovering and you had to remind yourself to be patient and calm. The healing coven members said you were healed now but still life had it's challenges and you should take it slow. You weren't back on full duty like your brother was but you still did your part.
The doctors said slow not nonexistent. You loved Hunter but just like your uncle he could be overbearing and right now was one of those times.
"Do you need water? Food? Medicine? Can I get something for you? You should go back to bed of your tired, we can try again tomorrow." He states as he looks you up and down for any problems.
"Hunter..." You hum and he has your hands in his as he stares at you, waiting for what you needed.
"Yes what is it?" He demands and you take a deep breath with a soft smile.
"I yawned." You say softly and behind his mask you have a feeling his entire face was red as he pulled away and crossed his arms. Chuckling you wrap your arm around him and bring him close, your face tapping against his mask. "Hunter?" You question and he hums still grouchy at you. "I'm okay." You promise and as you squeeze him close he lets out a deep breath his shoulders sagging.
"I know." He responds softly and you smile before putting your head on his shoulder. As he hugs back, you close your eyes taking this moment in. You were okay. And thankfully so was Hunter.

yayayayay!! Is it alright if I request for a polyam relationship between hunter (Golden guardian) and Edric? With a gn!human lover who's like. Always really kind and parental? Headcanons please!! And if you don't mind, how do you think some others would react to the throuple? Like luz, amity and emira?- I love your writing!!
I didn't see the human part until after these were written, apologies :")
Hunter never thought he'd fall in love but when he met you at a bookstore during his off time he just... knew. You were both reaching for a copy of Rulers Reach and he paused as your hand brushed his. He didn't have many things he was allowed to enjoy so he was going to demand that you hand it over but than you admit you hadn't read the series yet. Hunter was buying another copy after over analyzing the last one, stickynotes and highlighters overwhelming the actual book. He decides to let you have it but before he can leave you suggest that you two swap information to stay in contact. He's hesitant but you promise since he let you keep the book you'll give it back to him once your done with all your notes. That way you can switch your copies to read the others thoughts. Like a mini bookclub. After that he can't stop thinking of you. You fill Hunters thoughts for days and he begins to research who you are in private wanting to bump into you again.
Edric always wanted love but he was never brave enough to seek it out past his family. When he met you at school talking to your friends about something you were passionate about, unafraid to be your true self, he also just knew. He began to search for you during class but eventually when asking around he stumbled upon you in the library. He's not much of a book reader but he likes spending these little quiet moments with you. Where you talk about your lives and discuss the future. You both share your interests and for once he feels like his own person rather than a male version of his sister. You see him for him.
You're always checking in on them. Asking them about their day when you see them and offering home made sweets/ treats you got at the market. You're a friendly type one who gives hugs freely and is never afraid to question if someone's doing okay when they look down. They both enjoy your company and make it a point to see you as much as they can. Hunter meeting you at your favorite places during patrol and Edric finding you at school.
So when they somehow both asked you out at the same place, same time unintentionally, they had no idea that this is where they'd end up. All of you together.
You thought the circumstance in which they confessed (in the marketplace both out of their school/coven uniforms in fancy outfits) was funny and assured both of them you had enough love and support for the both of them. It was messy at first but deciding to get lunch together to talk if out (where the boys than fought over who'd pay for you) you had a fun albeit tense lunch where you shared facts about them so they could get used to each other. Thankfully your laughter and jokes carefully diffused the situation whenever it got too intense and they slowly got closer with you as a buffer.
They are both very insecure, their just insecure in different ways. You work with them separately to build them up but they need constant reassurance from you about various things and will often come to you for advice or to ask for cuddles when they've had a bad day. Thankfully Edric and Hunter give back to the relationship in different ways making sure you feel emotionally and physically fulfilled. It's hard some days but together you somehow make it all work out.
While Hunter focuses more on the physical side of the relationship (gift giving/protecting you/hugs/touch), Edric is able to focus on the emotional and pyschological (asking how your doing/quality time/checking in/cheering you up). Both doing their part to make you feel as happy and special as you make them.
They like your mother hen instincts. It's nice having someone look after them and they always feel safe when their around you, like they can tell you anything and you'll never judge them. But just like you take care of them they take care of you. All of you making sure the others are eating, drinking, and resting. Hunter isn't used to the support and Edric has only ever had his older sister watching him so having two people to back them up feels amazing. That being said they absolutely spoil you and defiently scheme on how to pay back the kindness you give them.
Hunter buys you things to show his love for you. Rare and otherwise unattainable items you wouldn't be able to find or get on your own. Only the best for you. As Golden Guard he is able to get his hands on almost whatever he wants as people want to be in good graces with the emperor. You are given many classic books, rare plants, fancy clothes, weapons, jewelry, and other valuables related to your chosen tract/study. Hunter may tone it down if you ask him but he struggles with social and relationship cues and believes this is the best way to amend for that. He also isn't able to spend a lot of time with you so he hopes these presents make you feel better about his absence. Whenever you or Edric wear something he bought he notably brightens and is in a better mood.
While Edric could buy you a number of things too he finds personal gifts to be more fulfilling. Growing up around rich things his entire life leaves him almost dull to them. Photos he printed out of the three of you, notes he's written, flowers he pressed, souvenirs he collected from dates, things you mentioned in a passing that you wanted, and other mementos are his go to gift or way of showing affection. Of course he spoils you with purchased gifts as well but their less structured than Hunters and tend to be more random, things he grabbed on impulse because he was thinking of you. You however love them just the same and let them know how much you appreciate them.
Whenever you get them gifts their always treasured. Edric's room can be a bit of a mess but your gifts have a special place so they never get damaged, lost, or misplaced. When he's having a bad day he'll walk over to them and look over all of them. Your stack of punny cards with heartfelt messages always making him smile.
While Hunter can't display the things you give him in the same way Edric can, they also have a special place in his room and he finds himself being very protective of them. Everything has a place and he's moved everything in his room so your gifts have special spots. Just like Edric when he has a bad day he'll hold one of your gifts close as it never fails to calm him down. His favorite thing being the Rulers Reach book you annotated.
While Hunter is a bit awkward with his affection when it comes to anything verbal Edric is a pretty smooth talker. His experience with past relationships and his sisters advice make him good at being able to make you blush. He also enjoys making Hunter flustered as well, sending him a wink or a compliment to get that famous red faced doof. Hunter may not be the best at verbally explaining his affection but he balances this out by being good at physically showing you how much he cares. Kisses, hand holding, and cuddling are all things he enjoys giving you both. Edric is a little more awkward when it comes to the physical side of the relationship so they balance each other out helping ease each other out of their comfort zones. Your love languae is a mix of affirmations and touch which represents your mother hen attitude well.
As Golden Guard, Hunter has certain privledges he gets that others his age don't. However, he feels jealous of Edric as he goes to the same school as you and gets to spend more time with you. Although he can create these special dates for all of you Edric will always seem closer because he gets more time with you. This is something you all have to talk about so it doesn't create a rift.
Edric meanwhile has certain privledges with his money. His family's name is well known around the Isles and although he's been banned from many places there's a hundred more he can take you too. He also has a very creative mind and has set up special dates that only you and Hunter can experience. While Hunter can get you into places reserved only for Coven heads/ Emperor's Coven employees he can do special things like buy out a movie theater or restaurant if you want some privacy. He can also set up a firework display in the middle of the woods that would knock your socks off. Edric has no problem spending a lot of snails on you since he otherwise wouldn't have a use for them. Hunter finds it amusing and you always blush at the thought that goes into the dates they plan.
While Hunter does flex he's the Golden Guard he's also careful with his position and title. As well as who does and doesn't know about the relationship in the castle. He doesn't want Belos to see you and Edric as a distraction so he keeps his worlds seperate. As much as he'd like to show you his home and introduce you to his uncle he feels it's for the better that you don't come to the castle and that he instead comes too you.
Edric has similar thoughts about the Blight mansion. While his mother and father are never really around they have things in the house to monitor it. He fears his mother would disapprove or try and drive you away. He also fears she would try and use the Golden Guard for her own gain. So he prefers not to hang around his house unless Emira is there and it's less of a date and more of a hang out so Odilia doesn't grow suspicous.
That being said bringing not one but two boys to your house can be tricky. Thankfully your parents are supportive as Hunter and Edric are both respectful and kind people who only want what's best for you. Your friendliness and mother hen nature clearly comes from your parents as they often offer the boys snacks and big bear hugs like you do, pulling them into family activities and sharing embarrassing stories about you.
Homes aside when you don't want to be bothered by your parents, hiding your relationship, or go somewhere your not supposed to be, there are plenty of other options. The Library, the bookstore you met Hunter, the school, the marketplace, the joke shop, the prank store, or various restaurants all being spaces you've snuck off to get some alone time together. Edric also knows plenty of hidey holes and Hunter having scouted the entire island has more than a few ideas.
Flying around with your palismen, either in the woods or somewhere secluded is something you all love to do. There's something so freeing about flying and practicing various magic tricks without supervision. Although Hunter can not practice like a normal witch his mind and staff more than make up for it, his power something else entirely. Ed and him usually start sparring to gain your attention but you've beaten them more than once or twice. You combine different magic's practicing wild techniques like Hunters books and although it's strange at first it becomes fun. He worries about being caught but since you and Edric haven't chosen a coven yet you are still free to practice multiple magics until your final decision. Hunter once he's warmed up to the idea begins using glyphs and glyph combos on his staff while you and Edric try to combine magics to see what'll happen.
While going on dates is fun you also just make time to hangout and bond as a group. You've been on plenty of misadventures together and almost been caught once or twice. Thankfully you've always escaped trouble and though Hunter scolds you both for putting yourself in danger you always get out okay in the end. You have learned things about each other in the moment you never would have known otherwise.
Hunter enjoys talking about wild magic something his uncle never lets him speak about. While Edric enjoys explaining his multiple tracks and how the coven systems are changing. He always thought he'd be an Illusionist but now he wants to combine his skills and make something new. They sometimes butt heads about this but when you put your two cents in they calm down, almost always agreeing with what you say. They enjoy hearing you talk and some of your favorite moments are spent staring up at the stars and chatting about your days, interests, and wishes for the future.
You all balance each other out and care for one another deeply. Your relationship is odd but worth it.

Can you do a fem reader x Hunter where Hunter finds out the reader likes being cuddles and him stroking her hair so he does that and teases her?
I don't do male or female readers, also less teasing and more just flustered teens lmao :)
~~~
"Never leaving this bed. Ever." You hum as you enter Hunters room before flopping onto his soft golden sheets. You flick your wrist and the door closes behind you leaving you and Hunter to hang out alone. Kicking off your boots so you didn't muddy the bed you stayed face down and groaned.
You were tired from a long day of training and honestly you were not looking forward to tomorrow. You knew that you'd wake up sore and have to do it all over again. Sinking into his soft mattress ignoring that awful thought it felt so good to rest against his pillows and blankets. Sighing at how nice it felt to finally rest your tired body Hunter simply hums in response not looking up as he continues to read his book.
Turning your head you glance up at him and his book. He smiles at you reaching out to rub at your shoulder as he often did after training. You did the same for him when you started dating so now it was habit for him to try and ease the pain in your back by massaging your shoulders.
"Wild Magic history. Personal Project?" You question catching the title of his book. You knew how much your boyfriend enjoyed studying old magic despite his uncles hesitancy to let Hunter learn about such things.
"Something like that." He admits before flipping the page. "I told you the Emperor's Coven tract would be the hardest, how are you feeling?" He questions magenta eyes focusing on you before he looks back at his book and scans the pages interested in their contents.
"I'm okay. But I'm serious, I never wanna leave this bed. It's soft." You murmur from his pillows as he continues to rub your shoulder really getting into the knot and undoing it. Scooting a bit closer he smiles still reading his book as he gently massages your other shoulder, pressing down a bit to loosen the joint up.
"Hey Hunter...?" You question and he grunts engrossed in the pages he's studying. "It was kind of a hard day. Would you mind... I mean if you want too... could we cuddle?" You venture curiously. Hunter paused and placing his book on his lap he tilts his head at you.
"Cuddle?" He asks with a raised eyebrow and you nod before scooting even closer to him. Hunter never thought you the type. Too shy to really do anything more than hold your hand or give you gentle massages after your training he thinks about it before he nods slowly. "Ummm... alright." A little awkwardly he places his book on his desk and slides down his headboard. As he lays down head propped up by his pillows you move closer before slowly wrapping your arms around him snuggling into his chest. He thankfully wasn't wearing his armor and neither were you so it was comfortable.
As his leathered hands gently touch your hair and scratch at your scalp you smiled cuddling closer. "Like this?" He questions and you make a content noise so he'll continue. He does and in that moment you feel truly loved.
He smiles down at you, face tinted pink as he tangles his hand in your hair before untangling it. Yawning softly feeling exhausted you realize it's getting late and you don't want to walk all the way back to your room. If Hunter wasn't comfortable your sure he'd kick you out but until than you wanted to stay like this.
"Goodnight Hunter..." You hum and in that moment his face goes from pink to bright red as your breathing begins to slow and you slip off to sleep listening to his heart. As your grip loosens around him, his carefully tightens.
"Goodnight..." He mumbles softly before he stares up at the ceiling unmoving so you can rest. He'd have to tease you about this later but for now he wanted you to rest.

Hi, if your taking requests could you do one with the golden guard but he’s a vampire x reader? Thanks!
He already has the eyes going for him >:3c
Tagging @the-enchanted-archivist because more vampires 🦇
~~~
Hunter was meant to be another GrimWalker in a long line of them but Beloses potion to make him went slightly off plan during an accidental ingredient mix up. So instead of the GrimWalker he was expecting, he got a tiny vampire fledgling who looked exactly like his little brother. Not one to waste an opportunity or consider any work of his to be a failure he decides to keep the experiment curious on how this'll turn out.
When you two meet Hunter is known by everyone as the stoic Golden guard. He goes on night missions for the Emperor and always wears a golden mask and lots of clothing during the day. No one knows what he looks like except for a very small social circle and he is very mysterious to the public despite being known by all as a high ranking Emperor's Coven member. You are from one of the coven heads extended family and an important guest of Emperor Belos. A magical prodigy who will someday become apart of the coven with your skills. You've been invited to live in the castle to personally learn from all the coven heads and prove your worth to join the coven. Hunter although uninterested is tasked by the Emperor with watching and protecting you while you stay at the castle. He of course obeys.
He can't do magic like everyone else on the Boiling Isles can but he does have other abilities that the Emperor finds useful. Quick regenitive healing, advanced strength, quick reflexes, above average endurance, super speed, and the ability to teleport. ( He also has a much less used ability where he can go feral becoming a killing machine Belos has yet to use this despite seeing it happen once) Hunter despite not having traditional magic is also a master at using the staff Belos gave him and is constantly working on ways to improve his skills to keep up with everyone else. He's an intelligent and strong well mannered soldier who always follows his uncles orders.
Golden Guard when you arrive at the castle is kind to you but isn't very talkative and can come off as awkward or cocky when he does indulge in the occasional conversation. He's also very timely and tends to rush you to be super early not wanting to get in trouble. It's annoying but you try and roll with it as he's been here longer and Belos asked him to do this. However, he hovers which annoys you as your not a child. He's also very strict about the Emperor's Rules always enforcing them even if they aren't necessary in the given situation. He takes his appointed position as your guard very seriously and you find yourself feeling a bit suffocated by him. The covenheads assure you he's harmless and just gets a little intense during his assignments which you happen to be at the moment. You take this with a grain of salt and mention to him how it's bothering you. He seems surprised and backs off a bit but reminds you it's his job to protect you and he gets the final say. That being said as time goes on he learns how to calm down and becomes more chill as he gets relaxed around you.
During meals he sits with you and the other covenheads to eat. But oddly enough you've never actually seen him eat anything. Simply drink something from a fancy looking goblet. You asked him about it but he pushed it off explaining he preferred to eat alone. You've offered him snacks and food before when he seemed hungry but he always politely rejected. He also never seemed to sleep which was curious because he got up early and stayed up super late but he never seemed tired. You found these things a bit weird but he was weird so you didn't think of them much, simply pushing them off as his habits.
So you stayed in a strange space where you weren't friends but you weren't enimies either. You'd talk but the conversations were often short lived and whenever you tried to get to know him better he seemed closed off. You got used to his eccentricities and decided to take it at his pace. Allies you think.
One day you find him outside while exploring the castle grounds and notice his mask is off. It took you a minute to even realize he was the Golden Guard because of the missing mask. He looks at you with red eyes and stare not knowing his eye color before. You smile and wave, he goes to wave back but pauses before shrinking away. Watching the light slowly get closer to him you remember how he never ate with you instead drinking something out of that goblet of his, and he was adamant on always layering when there was sun, as well as never seeming to sleep. It all begins to click and you look around for something to help. Running into the castle finding a very thick cloak you run back outside. Throwing it over him and making sure he's covered you usher him into the safety of the castle.
Now that you know his little secret you two have gotten much closer. He even tells you his real name! Hunter feels he owes you an explanation after you saved his life and realizes your a true friend and not some brat like he originally thought. Belos warned Hunter never to tell anyone of his demon/vampire origins in fear he would be judged and shamed for not being a witch but you admit you could care less and think it's pretty cool actually. You tap his ears noticing how their pointier than yours and compare your fangs. You ask about magic as you'd heard vampires were really strong in multiple fields but he just shakes his head no. Well he may not have magic like you but he has unique skills that are just as cool. He blushes when you tell him that.
You help him with his condition and do your best to be accommodating now that you know. Since he's your guard and needs to follow you around the castle you make sure not to go into the long hallways with sun shining though the windows. He assures you he's fine as long as he's in uniform but you insist and chose to go through the more shadowy corridors he's used to taking. In return for this kindness and keeping his condition in mind he shows you cool short cuts around the castle and secret places only him and the Emperor know about. You have fun running through hidden corridors and secret passageways as you rush to make it to meetings or magic classes with the head coven members. These places become you and Hunters secret and you often leave messages for each other if your not able to meet for whatever reason. Seeming them in passing when your seperated keeps you both in a good mood. He keeps all your notes in a little box liking to look back at them when your with the coven heads or he has a mission.
You become close rather quickly, being around each other all the time and saving him speeding up the otherwise long and strenuous process of gaining this kids trust. You bond over his interest in wild magic and spend nights reading books about the old ways of magic and demons from before Belos. Creating book forts that you fill with light spells (the only light that doesn't burn him) you both spend the entire night researching and laughing. He's never had a friend or someone who's shared his interests before so he really loves your company if he's awkward and will never admit that.
Through these secret study sessions outside of school/coven work you learn all about what it was like before Beloses rule and interesting facts and lore about Hunters species. Vampires are super rare so books that are factual are hard to find but you both enjoy the challenge and are happy whenever you can get a book fort night in as your schedules are busy. You've tested out some of the things you've found in various books and found Hunter has abilities he didn't even know about.
Some nights when your both in a more mischevious mood after you run out of books to study, and aren't tired wanting to continue your research, you use the secret passageways to sneak into the Emperor library and the castles kitchen. You'll grab snacks and more books often staying up all night to find what you want. Your always left tired in the morning but you've never had more fun.
Hunter has often had to carry you back to your room when you inevitably fall asleep in his. The book forts working best in his room. He tucks your hair behind your ear and smiles watching you sleep, your heart beating peacefully as you lightly breathe. As a vampire he only needs a few hours rather than a third of a day to sleep and he doesn't get dreams unlike witches. He often wonders what you dream of. He thinks maybe he would dream of you but he pushes these thoughts away. Putting a blanket over you before leaving you to rest, neither of you ever mention it in the morning. He doubts you remember anyways.
When your too tired to read or are all researched out for the week he'll sit and play music instead. Something to just relax after a stressful week. You'll hang out in his room or yours talking and taking a break from your stressful life's. Hunter loves his guitar and although it has a few scratches and knicks it's one of his most valuable possessions. He knows how to play most songs being musically gifted and loves when you sing for him. You've had your fair share of karaoke nights that end with the both of you in a fit of giggles as Hunter always whistles when he sings. You enjoy these rare moments with him and you always have a great time just being regular kids for a couple hours.
Whenever your sad now he'll pull you into a hug and hum your favorite song to cheer you up.
Months later and your magic is progressing far past where either of you thought it would. Hunter is proud of you and you can't believe that being a covenhead may be in your future someday. Belos decides to throw a party for the coven heads and all the high political families in his social circle, the focus being you and your achievements. Hunter wonders if he should ask you to be his partner to the dance but figures he'll see you there regardless since it's for you. As everyone is dancing and having fun Hunter enjoying the night off he tries to gain the courage to ask you to dance. Before he can rebels invade the castle. Hunter tries to grab you and take you to safety but you stand to fight with the covenheads and other party guests becoming a target.
Hunter gets really hurt protecting you as he uses his body as a shield when someone aims for your back. Your able to drag him away so no one sees him use his vampiric powers but panic as he doesn't heal. He has regenerative abilities but you realizes he needs blood. NOW. You offer yours but he shakes his head no as he gasps in pain trying to close his wounds on his own. He's only ever drank from a real person a few times before but it always goes wrong and he doesn't want to hurt you. You offer again seeing how much pain he's in and he once again refuses even as he feels himself growing rabid. Not wanting to loose your friend you bite into your arm making it bleed before carefully giving him some.
Your relationship shifts after that. After he has your blood and spends the next few days recovering and healing, Hunter realizes these feelings he has for you, the need to protect you, may be much more than platonic. He's never had romantic feelings before and he's unsure how to handle them.
Hunter thinks about avoiding you but he makes a quick recovery and is soon back to his job as your guard. He was even stopped and congratulated by Belos for doing such a good job protecting you so Hunter knew he couldn't give up the position or quit. So he needs to face his feelings.
Suddenly everything that once felt normal was different. Every time you laughed with him or smiled at him his undead heart fluttered. Every time your heart rate quickened he had to hold himself back from biting and marking you as his. Every time you snuggled close in one of your pillow forts he had the urge to gently kiss you. His feelings became confusing and his wants unknown. He knows he likes you but does he want to change the current relationship you have? What if you didn't like him back? Was courting you even appropriate with his job as your protector?
One day he just blurts it out without meaning too. You pause and he's ramrod stiff as he stares at you with wide eyes. He's blushing but so are you so that's a good sign right??? You run at him and holding up his arms expecting you to attack you wrap him in a hug. He surprised but doesn't mind as your lips crash into his. Your fangs brush against each other as your lips touch and Hunters in pure bliss for a minute.
You have to keep dating on the down low but it's hard not to tell everyone how much you love your new boyfriend. You hold hands when no one's around, sneak kisses in the passageways, and when you fall asleep in his room Hunter no longer moves you instead snuggling close and resting in his own way. He's a bit awkward with affection but he follows your lead and finds he likes the gentle touches and kind words. He's weak for your touch and is absolutely enthralled by you.
He often gets you gifts and trinkets wanting you to know how much he values you. He gets you flowers from the castle gardens, expensive clothes from the market, antique books, and other things that remind him of you while on missions. He'd give you the entire world if he could and spends any snails he can save on you because he needs you to know how much he loves you. You tell him you love him for him and not the gifts but he continues to spoil you regardless. Whenever he gets a gift from you, no matter how small he's in love and treasures it. He has a space in his room dedicated to the things you give him. They're next to the messages he saved.
He's surprisingly touchy behind closed doors. He seemed averse to touch but no in private he loves touching you. He loves holding you in his arms and adores when you wear his cape (it reminds him of couples wearing each other's jackets). Kisses always make his ears stand up and cheeks go red despite not having blood to redden them. He likes tracing your hands in those quiet moment your alone together or just holding them. He often reaches for your free hand snatching it when it's not being used. You've learned to do a lot of things one handed because of how often your hand is in his. You don't mind at all enjoying the contact even if Hunters funny sometimes. Your favorite thing to do is kiss his scars or trace his face/mess with his hair telling him how much you care about him as you give him these soft touches. You never stop amazing him and he never stops dazzling you.
Dates are complicated. You can't exactly go out during normal hours as he's a vampire and sneaking out of the castle at night is in itself an impossible task. You also have to keep your relationship a secret so you can't do anything romantic in the castle incase someone catches you. So you continue your little room dates sneaking into each other's rooms by using the secret passageways. Research and snacks or music and dancing in either of your rooms being the best you can do.
Hunters hesitant to feed from you as he has a large storage of blood and has long gotten used to cold blood rather than warm blood but the act is so intimate. You insist when he hasn't had time to drink and it's hard to resist when he's hungry. He's always so gentle and doting as he does it, never taking more than he needs. Hunter likes to playfully brush his fangs against you skin watching you shiver. He sucks and marks flesh in places no one will see before he eventually bites down after asking you one final time if it's okay.
He has no idea how you could love a monster like him and often has doubts but you always silence his worries. Gentle kisses and hugs making the bad voices fade away. He has no idea how he got so lucky but as he brushes hair out of your face and snuggles closer your arms wrapped around him as his cape drapes over the two of you he decides not to question a good thing.

Hi! This is my first request here but can I request a covenhead mother!coven guard!reader x Hunter where the two of them have been friends for a while and they have been set off on a mission, asked personally by the emperor himself, and when Hunter is about to get hurt the reader protects him and scolds him for putting himself at risk and accidentally confessing?
A/N: I'm not sure if you meant platonic or romantic for this ask as you said "confessing" which typically comes with a romantic context. I'm going with platonic just to be safe as the word mother is also in the ask. Also only use gender neutral terms for Reader
~~~
Jumping infront of the ball of fire so Hunter doesn't get hurt you quickly spin your staff trying to block the attack. But the circles only half completed and the spells partial blocking effect isn't nearly as powerful as it should be. Breathing in deeply as smoke blows off your body you glare at the offender baring your teeth.
Your nose was bloody from the blast and an eye would likley be black after this but you'd be just fine. Hunter however would've been dead or much worse off than you. As smart and strong as he was he was still just... a kid. You were going to strangle Belos for ever putting his nephew in harm's way like this. This mission would be hard for someone with magic and it was nearly impossible for someone without it.
"(Y/N)!" Hunter calls out panicked but you ignore him and spin your golden staff in three seperate circles, casting three different spells. The light blinds them, the vines grab them, and the fire burns them. Rendered unconcious from your attacks you wipe at your face before tapping your staff to the ground making the spell circles dissapear. The vines retract into the ground dropping the vigilante victim to the ground. Your breathing deeply and your arm and face sting but your otherwise okay.
"I'm alright..." You mumble as Hunter comes up and begins to grab at your arm. Hesitantly he touches your face with a look of concern. You hiss and he pulls away looking scared but you smile at him through the pain showing you are indeed alright. You just needed some patchwork when you got the castle.
"Hold on I have an emergency healing potion. Titan I don't know any healing spells with my staff." He states digging through his bag frantically. "Uhhhh... this might sting but drink it." He states thrusting the potion into your face worried. You go to push it away but his concerned look makes you take the bottle. Holding it in your hands you glance at him concerned.
"Your lucky Hunter." You hum before taking a swig of the glowing blue liquid. Shaking your head at the nasty flavor you can already feel the healing affects as your face begins to tingle. "You need to be more careful." You scold before glancing at your unconcious prisoner. He was on the ground groaning from your triple attack. His mask and clothes thankfully kept him from being truly burned and your fire magic had just acted as a way to knock him unconcious. You could take him back to the Conformitorium for due process now.
"Me? What about you?" Hunter demands and you turn on your heel to glare at him.
"This?" You state pointing at your swollen face. "This could've been you but worse." You snap and Hunter flinches at your stern voice. You stop and signing you hand him the potion back. You hoped Hunter would take a sip himself as you left some for him but he caps it putting it away. About to tell him to drink the rest his hands shake as he clenches his hands into fists.
"I... I can take a hit!" He responds and you shake your head feeling tired. You understood what Hunter meant when he said that but taking a hit and getting a beating were completely different. You didn't just take a hit, you almost didn't get back up.
"Hunter you could've died." You respond with a scowl.
"Than I would've died, if I can't be useful I shouldn't be around anyways!" Freezing he flinched at your reaction but paused as you scooped him into your arms holding him close. Your cape surrounded him and you closed your eyes tucking his head into your chest. He struggled at first thinking you were trying to suffocate him but relaxed realizing it was just a hug. Staring up at you with wide eyes you kept yours tightly shut.
"You are not useless." You assure giving his forehead a kiss. "Now come on. Let's go home." Nodding Hunter goes to pick up the prisoner but you use your magic to levitate them. Pulling Hunter close you keep your arm over his shoulder as you both head home.

Can you hunter x nb reader that draws a lot? Like they always carry around a sketchbook and other stuff :)
Hunter finds your artistic hobbies interesting, well everything about you is interesting to him to be honest. His uncle is huge on drawing and journaling in private so its one of the many things that piques his curiosity about you. Hunter wants to know what you're drawing and writing about and why, but he also doesn't want to pry as that'd be an invasion of privacy.
You're a Young Captain. A little below his rank but someone who's high up regardless. You're also around his age which is nice since he's usually surrounded by adults who are a lot older than him.
When you're not busy working or commanding others you always have your sketchbook out. Your either drawing or writing and he's dying to see the pages. You're not secretive that you draw and write and have artistic hobbies outside your work but your definetly not just handing your sketchbook around for people to look through. He knows how private things like that can be and yet he finds himself wanting to know more, more about you and more about your hobbies.
But then one day Hunter watches you place the book down. So the sketchbook it left out in the open but closed. He's unsure but... when you leave he picks it up quickly. Looking around to see if anyone saw he's alone in the hallway waiting for you to come back.
Swallowing thickly he nods making his final decision. Opening the book he carefully begins to flip through the pages his gloves keeping the pages pristine. He's curiously looking through it's contents. He notices various pages have different types of magic spells with your personal notes in them. Each magic type from the different covens are labeled neatly with their own color. Mixed magic where colors bleed together also seemed to be a theme which intrigued him. There was also scenery he recognized from around the castle and different uniforms from various coven ranks. The covenheads are in there as well with notes like how they like their coffee or small details you've noticed about them that you wanted to remember. Hunter smiles enjoying the sketches before he pauses noticing a page that was entirely gold filled out with black.
Fingers tracing the pictures you'd drawn he smiles a bit showing off his tooth gap. The layout was him in several positions with different expressions. For some he had his mask on and others he was in his full uniform. You'd really caught his likeness and your style was intriguing to him. So this is what you doodled all day? Magic spells, notes, the castle, the people around you, and him? Flipping through more pages he saw the book was mostly him. It was flattering to say the least.
"Oh hey you found my sketchbook!" Hearing your voice Hunter quickly shut the book and clutches it to his chest with red cheeks. His eyes were wide and he was reminded of the time Belos walked into his room and found him staying up late to read.
"Oh ummm yes! I found it on the window sill, I was just checking who it belonged to!" He states quickly as he Avery's his eyes. Smiling as he hands it over you hold it close.
"Oh well it's mine." You hum. "Did you like what you saw?" Embarassed but not wanting to lie Hunter nods face still burning crimson. "Oh I'm glad! Most people think it's weird that I sketch so much but it really helps with my magic. The constant circular motions as well as getting my emotions out so my spells are easier to cast." You explain and Hunters eyes widen. He'd never thought of that before.
"Ummm yes they were nice." He states wondering if that's what your magic notes were about. You were so smart and skilled, he couldn't believe you were friends with him.
"Oh I meant to give this to you. Here." Taking something out of your book you hand it over. Hunter hesitates but holding the sketch of him smiling his expression changes to match the picture he was looking at.
"Thankyou." He hums still flustered and you smiled bumping his shoulder.
"Of course." You state making his heart flutter. "Now come on we have patrol." Tucking your book away he nods his hand reaching for yours. As you hold it smiles softly.
Maybe his curiosity paid off...
