Rock-'n'-love (The Golden Guard/Hunter×reader)

×5×

Y/n's pov

I woke up, feeling a tight grip on my body. I slowly opened my eyes seeing Hunter, still peacefully sleeping. My cheeks started burning 'We really slept all night like that?' I laughed a little

"Oh you're already up?" Hunter peeked at me smiling

"Yeah, I just woke up a minute ago, did I wake you?"

"No no, don't worry"

We were staring at each other, still hugging, we were like that for a while till we separated, blushing

I giggled"W-well, how's your wound doing? Is it better?" I asked, it really looked horrible last time I checked

He lifted up his sleeve, he's got many scars, I didn't even noticed it before. I took his hand, taking off the bandage.

"It's looking a lot better than yesterday" I softly caressed his hand full of scars

"Yeah, all thanks to you.." He smiled

"...Has he done this to you?" I asked, carefully, looking at him

He slowly put away his hand, covering it again with his sleeve "Well yes... But it's not his fault he's doing this to me, I deserved them"

"Hunter, that's not true!-"

*Knock, Knock* "Golden guard? The Emperor wants to see you right away" someone said behind the door

"I'll be there!" Hunter said getting up, taking his mask and cloak "Stay here and don't think about wandering these halls dressed up as me" he giggled

I got up and hugged him "I won't, just be careful, okay?" I smiled worriedly

"Awh c'mon I'm just going to my uncle, it will be nothing, he probably wants to give me another task, dummy" he messed up my hair and left

I waited for few minutes, playing with Lil'rascal, I was getting bored and Hunter still wasn't coming "This is boriiing" I laid on his bed "I hope he's alright"

Rascal came to me and snuggled into my neck, I smiled and rubbed his head. Finally, I heard someone opening the door, he finally came back

I sat up"Finally, what was taking you so long?" I asked him

"Nothing." He sat down next to me

"You don't sound like nothing happened, what is it?"

He was all gloomy, looking down on the ground"...Uncle said that he doesn't want me to go on a mission" he looked at me

"And what about it? You know, you can have a free day y'know and even though, you have an injury" I sat closer to him, jolting him with my shoulder

"I know, but he replaced me with Kikimora! Just because I failed my last mission he won't let me even go out!" He plopped down on the bed, covering his eyes with his hands

"Oh c'mon, just enjoy life for a while, you're never leaving the castle only just because of missions" I laid down too

He peeked at me "You know, you're right, I leave the castle just for missions and this is not an exception" he took the scout suit I had coming in here and took his staff "Hop on, we don't have time"

I got on and we flew out to the halls "Hunter won't someone see us!?" I held him tightly

"Yeah, someone will. I think you should at least put the mask on oh and your cloak" he gave me the mask and I put it on

"Sometimes I'm thinking why I'm talking to you" I said jokingly

He giggled, we flew out of the castle right into a big height, we were flying for a while when we stopped at Bonesborough and flew to the ground
