HURT COMFORT YAHOO

---

So, it had been a weird day so far. First, Gus had only said a couple words to him, and those words seemed to have harsh undertones.

"Why would you?" Gus had asked, accusingly.

Before Hunter could answer, Gus had walked off.

His own teammates seemed to outcast him, glaring if he dared walk near.

Luz had looked at him, shook her head, and walked away.

And, worst of all, he couldn't find his girlfriend anywhere. She hadn't shown up to the classes they shared.

He was worried, since Willow seemed to never miss a day. He wondered if it has something to do with him. Hunter hadn't done anything wrong.

It occured to him to check penstagram when Boscha walked by and giggled, with her friends whispering and pointing at him. He had glared and resolved to look at his scroll after his next and final class.

--

What he saw on penstagram was gross. So gross, in fact, he had nearly vomited.

Top of the feed was a picture, of him kissing Boscha, with a label that said epic partyy last night!! finally got the golden guard <33. He'd rather die than do that, and seeing himself get called the golden guard made him flinch, but now a lot of things made sense.

Instead of going home, he went to Willow's house instead, to explain himself. After all, he knew he didn't want her in pain.

Hunter knocked on the door,and was greeted by Willow's dads.

"Nice to see you again, boy! Here for Willow?" One of them patted Hunter's shoulder, inviting him in.

"She says she's sick, so try not to catch anything." The other warned, and Hunter nodded.

He knew pretty well why she was sick.

Making his way up the stairs, he paused slightly noticing a framed picture of him and Willow. He smiled, before dropping the smile and continuing up.

When Hunter reached Willow's room, he knocked on the door first.

"Can I come in?" He asked.

The door opened, and a vine wrapped around him, pulling him into the room.

The vine released him and he saw that Willow was there, sitting on the floor against her bed, but she didn't look at him in the eyes, she just watched Flapjack and Clover start poking at each other before cuddling up.

"Pum— Willow, I just wanna talk." He didn't use a pet name, despite wanting to, because this was serious.

"Are you..." Willow took a deep breath, then finally looked at him. "Are you breaking up with me?"

Hunter had been expecting that question, but it stung a lot.

"No, no." He shook his head.

"Then, could you explain this?" She opened her scroll and with shaking hands, showed him that picture.

Hunter knelt down in front of her, noticing how she tensed.

"I think Boscha just wanted to start drama. I was with Amity studying when she claimed that picture was taken." Hunter assured. "We can even ask Amity, if you'd like."

Willow nodded, and Hunter pulled out his own scroll, and moved to sit next to her. She put her head on his shoulder subconsciously, looking to see what Amity would say.

His message read "hye. bltghit whdeere wasd I lastr nighyT"

Barely legible. Amity responded quickly, however.

"Get someone else to type your messages how am I supposed to read that??"

Hunter sighed, and used the voice to text feature.

"Hey Blight, where was I last night?" He spoke into the scroll and sent the message.

Amity got back to him in a minute.

"With me cuz you suck at abominations, why?" A pause, the Amity answered herself. "oh is this about that thing Boscha posted? ill get Skara to talk to her w/ me tomorrow. only so I don't punch her haha"

Hunter heard Willow sigh of relief, and he felt her arms hug him tightly.

Putting his scroll down and embracing her back, he was just glad his girlfriend didn't hate him.

"I'm sorry." Willow spoke quietly in his ear.

"You don't have to apologize. Just, please talk to me if you see something like this, alright?" He replied.

Willow pulled away from the hug, nodding.

Hunter let his hands rest on her hips, and then kissed her cheek.

"I love you, my dearest pumpkin." He said softly.

"Love you too, sunflower." Willow leaned into him, allowing her head to rest on his chest.
