I like hunter and willow both platonic and romantic haha help

•••

The peace was one nothing dared to shatter, an eerie gentleness of the forest clearing. Nothing was moving, save for a teenage boy whom was longing and wishing for something that could never happen.

His gloved hand grazed over a picture of him and someone else, and he sighed a deep sigh.

"Of all the people, why Titan, why her?" He questioned aloud, with no response.

"She's just... perfect in every way, I'm just a monster, an unlovable monster." He spoke as he folded up the paper, putting it in a pocket.

His mind drifted off, recalling the events of earlier that day.

"Oh, hey Hunter," Willow greeted, momentarily pausing her conversation with Luz to wave.

He waved back and started walking away faster, wanting to stay but not wanting to be annoying.

Someone- a girl with three eyes and pink hair in his potions class- caught up with him.

"Half-a-witch isn't worth your time." She spoke. "I don't get why you even hang out with her, when you're like, the hottest person in this school."

He paid no mind to her, but his eyebrows furrowed at her degrading of Willow.

"I'd totally help you get more friends! Then you won't be hanging out with the losers anymore." She offered, and Hunter glared down at her.

"Leave me alone, you worthless brat." He pushed her away and continued walking.

The girl, he remembered her name to be Boscha, started giggling.

"Say goodbye to your social life!" Boscha yelled.

Hunter rolled his eyes.

Lunchtime rolled around, and Hunter took his usual spot with his flyer's derby team, plus Amity and Luz. Willow, sitting next to him, was excitedly showing off a new trick she learned.

Hunter watched intently, glad she was happy.

"—And watch this!" Willow pointed at Hunter and did the circular motion with her finger. Flowers grey on Hunter's head. "A flower crown you don't have to weave!"

A light blush settled into his face as the others at the table started begging for flower crowns.

Everything seemed fine until near the end of lunch.

Boscha walked by, giggling. Everyone glared, not knowing the damage she was about to do.

Opening up her scroll, Boscha clicked something, and everyone's scroll started making noise.

GRUGBY_QUEEN : guess who's inlove with half-a-witch ! It's funny because she hates him and actually likes a different teammate HAHAHAHA :)

There was a picture above the caption, showing Hunter's yearbook photo.

"I have to go." He mumbled, embarrassed and outraged. "Goodbye."

He took of the flower crown, it tearing apart in the process, and left quickly.

"No, wait—!" Willow banged her head against the table when Hunter ignored her and left.

Hunter sighed, the events still fresh. He decided he wouldn't go back to school tomorrow. For all he knew, Willow definitely hated him now.

He just wanted her to be happy, and clearly, he was not the source of her happiness, so he decided to remove himself from her life.

After all, a beast doesn't deserve a beauty.
