You'll admit it. You still have no plan on what to do for Grom. So far, your only idea was to just accept the situation so nothing happens to you. Will really accepting the situation be okay?
ugh...
Since you have no plan you've never been preparing for yourself. Instead you made the call to hang out with friends. You skipped dinner 2 nights now. The last you went is when Hunter opened up to you and that was Tuesday night, its Friday night. Grom is on Saturday night.
You've been trying to avoid him, after he opened up to you and you opened up to him it felt awkward.
You were going to a miniature festival they were doing in the town center, nothing too big though, its really simple. They have candies and games, you figured that would be fun to go to. You, Jerbo, Barcus, Viney, and Skara are all with eachother. You asked if Cedar could come but he said he was busy with something.
"So, hows it feel you're Grom Queen?" Viney asked.
"Its something alright." You say.
"Do you have a plan?" she asks.
"Yeah definitely." You nod.
"That was really brave of you to do that by the way." Viney comments.
"Huh?"
"Offer to take it for Willow. That was surprisingly nice of you." Viney says.
"She was terrified and wasn't expecting it. I felt bad, she didn't deserve that." You say.
"Hey look caramel apples!" Skara points.
"Oh yum." Jerbo says running to catch up with her.
"What food are you in the mood for?" Viney asks.
"I don't know." You shrug.
"I'm good honestly." You say.
"You need to have some food in ya come on, even if it's unhealthy candy." Viney says.
"Also did you get you dress?" Viney asks swinging her arm around you.
"I did, it's a (favorite color) dress." You smile.
"You thinks it's good enough to shift around in when your fighting that thing?" Viney asks.
"Oh yeah I'll be fine." You smile.
"Hey we need to win a prize." Viney grins.
"Everyone's managed to win a prize today." Viney smiles at you.
"It's our turn." Viney grins.
Hunter POV
Hunter sits at the dinner table tapping his fork. This is the 3rd time this week. You only came once this week so far. What's up with you?
He sighs and rest his head on the table.
"She's been ditching for weeks and she just randomly shows up for no reason 2 days ago." Hunter mutters to himself.
"What's her deal?" He says standing up, clenching his fists.
He walks to your room, practically stomping there. He's angry, and he doesn't really know why. All he knows is he's angry you're not here. He opened up to you and you just are pretending it never happened?
He knocks on your door.
"Hey." He says.
No answer.
"Y/n." He knocks again.
No answer.
He slowly opens the door and walks in. You aren't in your room. Well you certainly can't be anywhere in the castle besides your room at this hour. Maybe you're with friends.
His fingers twitch.
"With her friends or something. What is it she even does? The shopping plaza?" Hunter sighs.
He grabs his staff and walks outside the castle.
"Titan, girls and their shopping." He sighs, zooming off.
"Dangit!" You yell.
"I missed again?!" You groan.
"You're so close come on!" Viney eggs on.
It was a pop the balloon kind of game with those terrible darts. You hated these, but you hating them made you want to play so you can beat it and prove the stupid game how good you are.
*pop*
"YES!" You exclaim.
"Get 3 more and you get a prize." The stand owner said.
"Hell yeah." You smirk, readying your aim.
"3 more come on!" Viney eggs you on.
Woosh
You look around, what the heck was that gust of wind?
Whatever. You focus on your aim again.
Hunter resided on the top of a rooftop nearby watching you and your friends.
"Huh." He grumbles.
He grumpily watches you. He didn't realize how much friends you have. Your with Jerbo, Viney, Skara, and Barcus.
Four whole friends.
He frowns.
"No wonder she ditches so much. They're certainly more entertaining." Hunter sighs.
"I don't get it." He mumbles.
"Why?" He rubs his head.
*pop*
"YEAH!!!!" You and Viney exclaim.
"You're halfway there Y/N! Come on!" Viney jumps.
You ready your aim again.
"What do they have." Hunter mumbles.
"DANGIT!" You yell.
"That I don't." Hunter mumbles.
"How can I be entertaining?" He mumbles.
*pop*
"ONE MORE!!!"
"What do I have to do?" He grumbles.
He hears you and Viney squealing to eachother.
"I can't ever be better." He mumbles, clenching his fists.
"Of course she wants freedom that looks fun." He mumbles.
You laugh and jump around with your friends. You're smiling so much. He's never seen you smile that much. You look... nice.
"Damn it." Hunter sighs.
He grabs his staff and immediately starts flying away.
Your smile.
"Titan! Damn it!" He blushes, yelling at himself while he's flying away.
Hunters Face is red, trying to cover it with his face.
"Hell is wrong with me." He blushes.
*pop*
"WOOHOOO YESS!!!" You yell.
"DID I GET THE PRIZE DID I GET THE PRIZE?!" You exlaim.
"Yeah you did! It's over here if you'll just follow me." The stand owner smiles leading you to the behind of the booth.
Viney comes with you, excited for you.
"Where is it where-" you stop.
Cedar stand there holding flowers, and a big (animal) plushie. Somehow also holding a sign that says:
"You won.... A date to Grom!"
You stand dead in your tracks.
"Surprise!" Cedar laughs.
"Oh my Titan!" You exclaim.
"Cedar!" You say all surprised.
"So... um.. yes or no?" He chuckles.
"Yes!" You grin.
You run up to him and give him a hug. This is so sweet. This is so kind. How did he think of such a creative way to do this?
"I helped him plan it out, whatcha think?" Viney grins.
"Oh my gosh." You blush.
"Of course you did Viney." You laugh.
"I love the flowers! And the big plushie too, it's so sweet! Thank you Cedar!" You smile.
"Eheh it's nothing really..." he blushes.
"I love it! Thank you." You beam.
You sigh, carrying in the flowers and stuffed animal. Hoping no one sees you.
Quietly. You tip toe to your room. It's late. Shit, if anyone were to see you holding this stuff you would be de-
Hunter clicks the light on to your room, as you enter it.
...
...
...
"WHY ARE YOU IN MY ROOM?!" You yell.
"Why have you been ditching so much?!" He yells back.
"Because I can! Now get out!" You yell.
"What is all that?!" He says.
"Nothing! Just go away!" You yell, shoving him.
"No! What is it Y/n?!" He yells.
"My prize I won at the stupid shit fair! Now get out!" You yell.
"Who the heck gives you flowers as a prize? You can make them for titans sake!" Hunter says.
"I wanted them!" You said.
"No you didn't." He groans.
"Yes I did!" You yell.
"I'd believe the plushie, but flowers?!" He yells.
"Who gives flowers to a plant track student?!" He says.
"Titan Hunter! Just leave me alone!" You shove him.
"No! Who gave those to you!?" He says.
"ME MYSELF AND I GET THE HELL OUT!" You yell.
"I don't understand you Y/n. You show up one day when you've been gone for weeks, why are you gone so much?" He says.
"Because I don't want to be here!" You say.
"It's not even that bad! You leaving so much and not showing up Can get us in trouble!" Hunter says.
"Us? Really? I don't want an us this isn't fair Hunter!" You say.
"I know it's not, how do you think I feel?" He says.
"You obviously don't care!" You say.
"I do care! I care about not getting in trouble! We don't even know what trouble we're gonna be in! We're lucky Belos has been so busy to not confront us about it!" Hunter groans.
"What are we gonna tell him when he asks?" Hunter says.
"I don't know! I don't care!" You say.
"Titan Y/N. What is up with you?! You hung out with your friends before! But you're with them so much now! What's making you be with them so much?!" He asks.
"BECAUSE IM DATING SOMEONE!" You yell.
Shit.
"You're..." Hunter hesitates.
"You're what?" He says angrily.
"Nothing. F-forget about it." You say stepping back from him.
"No Y/n, you're what?" He laughs.
"Nothing." You say quietly.
"You said you're dating someone?" He says, stepping forward to you.
"Who is it?" He asks.
"It's no one." You mutter.
"Who is it?!" He exclaims.
"I don't wanna tell you." You say.
He sighs, and burried his face in his hands. You look up at him.
"Y/n. Thats the last thing. That's the last thing we need right now." Hunter sighs.
"Why?" You fold your arms.
"Because if someone finds out, you're in more trouble than me." Hunter says.
"You know why Terra became a coven head?" He asks.
"The reason why we're supposed to be wed?" He asks.
"Belos has been begging her to be a plant coven head, for years." Hunter says.
"And the only reason she finally did was because she said she would on one condition. And that was our marriage." Hunter says.
"Why?!" You ask.
"Because she wants to be seen as more than a coven head." Hunter says.
"That's not fair!" You cry.
"Yeah it's not. So if she or Belos find out you're with this person. Bad bad things will happen. She might be even stricter for all we know." Hunter says.
"You could get hurt." He says.
"You're lying." You say.
"I wish I was." He says.
"Who is it." He asks.
"I don't want to tell you." You say.
"Why." He sighs.
"You'll do something." You say.
"It's either that or you get hurt." Hunter says.
"I just want to be happy." You cry.
"I know." Hunter says.
"I'm not telling you. Leave me alone." You sniff.
"...fine." Hunter says, walking out of your room.
He shuts the door and immediately heads to his room, hands balled in fists.
"Damn it." Hunter mumbles to himself.
He swings his door open and shuts It immediately. Sitting at the edge of his bed he burried his face in his hands.
He rubs his face with his hands, like he's trying to wake up. He lets out a deep breath and goes to the bathroom.
His Face is red.
"Why does, the only person I'm allowed to talk to, hate me so much?!" Hunter yells to himself.
"Damn it! If only I wasn't such an annoying kid!" Hunter yells.
His face is red, really red. He doesn't understand what's going on with him, he feels like his insides are swelling up. He's angry, he's sad, he's surprised.
He's jealous.
