In the Middle of the Night (Hunter x Reader)

27. Two Birds

Previously,
I went over to Hunter and I hugged him. He was about to hug me back but I backed up and I hit him a few times on the chest (Not hard just like little punches). "Don't scare me like that again! I thought I lost you! If- If you ever do that to me again..." I stopped hitting him and I tugged on his shirt. I couldn't help but start to cry as my legs started to shake. "I'm sorry." He hugged me tightly. I tried calming down but I just wanted to cry. "We need to get going," Amity told us.

-Two Birds-

(I don't know the first episode of Season 3 yet so, if it has them when they first went to Luz's house, I'll delete the last part, have fun reading!)

~One says, "Come on!" and the other says, "I'm tired..." The sky is overcast and I'm sorry!~

We were in the sky and I was sitting next to Willow. King shrieked and I put my hand on King's head. "It's okay, King," Willow assured him. I looked in front of us and Gus was sitting on a crate, everyone's palismen was curled up in a ball sharing my cape, Amity was pacing around the ship, and Alador and Hunter were at the front. "I know how to fly a ship." Alador spat. "Then fly faster! We're barely halfway there. Luz could be in trouble." Amity yelled. Belos's words echoed in my head,

"You should have done a better job protecting the people you love."

I even accidentally activated the spell earlier. I looked at the mirror before we took off and my eyes were glowing gold. "Maybe if I took the wheel..." Hunter suggested. "Very eager to return to Belos, eh, Golden Gaurd?" Alador asked. "At least I never built him an army!" Hunter shouted. "Watch your tone with me, young man." The ship started to turn and I made sure Willow didn't fall. "Hey, here's a bright idea: don't distract the pilot," Gus suggested.

Everyone started to argue and I hugged my knees. "I can't believe she's going to face Belos alone again and I'm powerless to help her," King mumbled. "We can't even manage to help each other," I commented. The palismen pushed the crate and I got up to help them. I put my cape on so it didn't fly off. I pulled it to the middle and the palismen opened it. Everyone's stomach growled and they frowned.

"Look, guys, everyone is drowsy and scared. Let's focus our energy on saving Luz than fighting." I suggested. They nodded and everyone took some food. I grabbed some bread and sat in between Gus and Hunter. P/n took small bites out of my loaf before going into my hair. I messed up Gus's hair and he chuckled. Alador went over to us and pointed at the control panel.

Hunter got up and I followed him. "I'm sorry for worrying you," Hunter told me while he fixed the settings. "I accept your apology. I'm sorry for hitting you earlier." I looked at the floor. "It's fine, I barely felt it." He smiled. "I am sorry I didn't protect you or Luz. I'm sorry I got emotional and now Belos can start the spell. I'm sorry-" Before I can finish, Hunter kissed me. He pulled away after a few seconds to manage the ship. I couldn't help but blush.

"Sorry, not sorry. It's the only way I could have made you stop. You aren't to blame for our safety. You can't protect everyone. Luz is a strong girl, she'll be okay until we get there. And it also isn't your fault for getting emotional. It's normal... I think." He looked at me. "Thanks." I smiled back at him.

Hunter was talking to me before he paused. "What's wrong?" I asked him. He pulled on his glove to reveal his sigil glowing. "Oh, no..." I muttered. "Your ship had been reported stolen." A guard told us on a speaker. "Land immediately." They warned. "That dusty bitch." I scoffed. Gus made the airship into an illusion. I saw Hunter teleport away and tie up the scout. An Abomaton hit him and he started to fall. P/n turned into a staff and I flew after him. He tried grabbing his staff but he failed. I quickly got under him and I caught him on my shoulder. Willow was behind me.
