Hunter x reader revealing they're a Basilisk

Requested by a Tumblr user:

Request:Could you write a Hunter x gn! Basilisk! Reader? Maybe about reader telling Hunter they're a Basilisk? (This takes place in the human realm)

You knew Hunter regretted being a part of the Emperor's Coven. You knew he didn't agree with the coven's opinions anymore. But even when knowing that you were worried about what his reaction would be to knowing you're a basilisk. Basilisk's didn't have a great reputation outside of the coven. 

When you were forced into the human realm Hunter was fine with Vee. Which ripped away the old layer of fear. But it was replaced by a new layer.  If he was fine with then why did you even hide in the first place? But you still felt bad (if not worse) about keeping this part of yourself secret.

So you invited him into your room. You just decided to rip the band-aid off. He was more nervous than you were. He was visibly shaking. "Hunter, hun this isn't anything bad." You sallowed, "At least not towards you." "Did something bad happen to you?" He seemed more concerned than before. "No! I just- um." You were searching for the words but couldn't find any.

Since you couldn't say it you decided to show it. You slowly transformed back into your normal form. A look of shock painted his face. "Ta-da..." You said with jazz hands but your tone and face didn't match the enthusiasm. 

Sweat dripped down your forehead as he stayed quieter for longer and longer. "Did I ever... Hurt you while you were captured." He fiddled with his fingers. Even suggesting that he could have hurt you seemed to be hard to say. "No Lilith was the only one who visited me." He almost collapsed in relief. He rushed and hugged you. "I'm sorry that I could have hurt you at all. Also, this isn't a bad thing." You smiled. "Thanks and if you have any secrets I'll stay by you." you chuckled as you pulled away. "Can you imagine if you had a secret about your species as well?" "Heh heh yeah."

A/n: *Nervous chuckle* Hey... Hey, how are y'all doing? Sorry for leaving for 3/4 of a month without warning. Like I said before I have a new hyper fixation so that's taken over my brain. And also personal heath issues have been kicking my ass. I'll try to post more. Emphasize on try.
