Something to Prove (Golden Guard x reader)

27.) We'll Meet Again

Hunter || The Grimwalker

  "Thank god that's over," Y/N says while unlocking the car for us to get in.

  "Mhm." Luz agrees quietly. "I'll sit in the back this time. Someone else wanna go in the front?"

  "Hunter should go." Willow shoves me to the front with a wide grin.

  "I need to go pick up dinner for everyone. What do you guys want?" They ask.

  "I'm down for that one place we had the other day. Those nuggets of chicken were the bomb dot com." Gus laughs.

  "Me too!" Amity agrees.

  "You really need help with your slang, Gus. But yeah, we can go." They agree and start the car.

  We start heading to the place with Luz being weirdly quiet. Y/N glances at Luz through the mirror every once in a while. I only notice because I literally cannot peel my eyes away from her. Thinking about the beginning and how we first met makes me sentimental or something. I can't explain it. If I knew then that she would make me feel like this, I wouldn't have been such an asshole.

  And now I know why I was protecting her at the petrification ceremony. I wanted to be with her even if I didn't really understand what that meant. I wouldn't have realized my feelings at all if I didn't sneak into their room sometimes and read their weird books. But I couldn't be happier that I did because everything she does makes my head spin. I don't think there's anyone more perfect for me.

  Gus starts cheering as we pull into the place. It's fairly busy but it shouldn't be too bad. We park close to the front and try to get out quickly. Luz asks to wait in the car but Willow and Gus urge her to come in with everyone. She decides it's not worth the fight. So Y/N locks the car once we all get out and Amity leads the way to the door. She's been saying how hungry she is for the past hour.

  "Hey, Y/N?" I gently tug at her sleeve once I see something. It looks so familiar.

  "What's up?" She asks, stopping just a few feet from the door.

  "Is that...Caleb?" I point to the statue across the street.

  "Oh um...yeah. It's the Wittebane brother's statue. The city has to clean it once a month because of vandalism." She tries to lighten the mood.

  "Vandalism?" I ask.

  "The usual, spray paint, phone numbers asking for nudes, garbage, and some people even throw rocks at the statue. Mostly the Amish people in our community who don't approve of them." She shrugs before opening the door.

  "I think we all want the same thing." Luz quietly tells Y/N.

  "Okay, let's go order." She nods before leading everyone there.

  "Welcome to Polly's. What can I get you?" The cashier who's about our age says. Y/N starts ordering for us and the guy keeps looking at her funny. Maybe they have something on their face. They complete the transaction and he goes to give us our cups before pulling them away. "You come here often?"

  "No." She says, clearly uninterested.

  "You should. Are you single?"

  "No, I'm not." She rolls her eyes.

  "I can help get rid of your problem. You're pretty cute, what's your name?" He asks while handing her the bags of food.

  "Take a hint already and please give us our cups." She snaps.

  "What about you?" He smirks at Willow for a few seconds before a big fist of vines punches him right across the face. Y/N uses that chance to grab the cups.
