Warnings: 18+ MINORS DNI; Angst-ish? Slightly suggestive language. WC: 1K 1. “I’m not going anywhere.” 2. “I think I’m in love with you.” 11. “Keep your eyes on me.”
“Is Omega still over at Lyana’s?” You ask Hunter as you come into the living room.
“Yeah, she is- Oh. You look nice.” Hunter smiles at you softly, making you go warm all over. “Where are you headed?”
“I’m just going for a walk.” You shrug, nonchalantly.
“Why do you look so dolled up?” Echo’s voice cuts through the room as he walks in.
“I’m not dolled up.” You turn to look at him.
“She’s probably got a date with Yuno.” Wrecker teases.
“Shut up.” You roll your eyes, going warm in the face. “We’re just going down to the beach.”
Your whole body floods with warmth again as you notice Hunter taking in your sundress, his eyes traveling down your entire body. Why does he have this effect on you?
“Just don’t get sand in unmentionable places. Believe me, it sucks.” Echo pats you on your shoulder.
“I don’t even want to know how you know that.” You laugh.
Echo throws you a wink and goes into the kitchen. When you turn around to face Hunter, he looks up from clearly having been looking at your legs. It makes you burn in all the right places. But… Hunter is your sergeant… You’ve been trying to put those feelings aside for a couple years now. Unfortunately, they always seem to creep back up.
“Alright. I’ll see you guys later.” You start to head to the door, needing to clear your head before you start to dwell on those thoughts.
“Is he here?” Hunter stands up and everyone gives him a weird look.
What is with him tonight? Normally, he’s not so in your business.
“No, I’m meeting him down at the beach?” You look at Hunter, confused.
Hunter lets out a humorless snort. “He can’t even pick you up? Some guy.”
Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair all look at each other and then exit the room. “What’s your problem?” You ask him, putting your hands on your hips.
“I just think you could do better than Yuno, is all.” Hunter shrugs.
Your eyebrows furrow. “You do know it’s none of your business who I spend time with, right?”
“I… I know that.” Hunter sighs. “I’ve just heard the way Yuno talks about women…”
The realization that he really is just looking out for you hits and you feel the tension drain from your body, unable to be mad at him anymore. You see his shoulders relax as well.
“You’re sweet to care.” You smile, softly. “Thank you. But… We’re just hanging out. Okay?”
“Alright.” Hunter sighs.
You give him one last smile and then head out, making your way down the cobbled stone streets of Pabu, toward the beach. But as you walk, you can’t help but wonder about Hunter. About what was really bothering him. Why the sudden interest in your whereabouts or who you’re hanging out with. Since you’d all found peace after getting Omega, Tech, and Crosshair back, Hunter seemed more relaxed. But now… well. Who knows?
When you get down to the dock, you don’t see Yuno yet so you sit on the edge and wait, patiently.
After about forty minutes, you realize Yuno isn’t coming. Which is fine, honestly. Whatever. You didn’t like Yuno that much anyway. But now, you’re embarrassed. Because if Hunter finds out, he’ll probably never let you hear the end of it.
As if on time, you hear a throat clearing. Turning around, you’re expecting to find Yuno finally showing up, but instead find Hunter. With a sigh, you turn back toward the ocean.
“He didn’t show. You were right.” You chuckle.
He quietly sits next to you.
“If you’ve come to say ‘I told you so’, I understand…” You murmur, leaning against the wooden dock post.
Hunter puts a hand on your shoulder and you look at him, softly. His hands are always so warm and so careful. You’ve lost track of the amount of times you’ve gotten lost in thought over those hands.
“I’m not here to say ‘I told you so’. I’m here because I care about you.” He smiles ever so slightly.
“You care about me…” You look down at your feet dangling over the water.
“Of course I do.” His hand falls from your shoulder to your own hand that rests between you.
Your chest tightens slightly at his admission.
“I… I more than care about you…” He whispers.
You look up at him. “What do you mean?”
He couldn’t mean… There’s no way.
“I think… no… I am… I’m in love with you.” Hunter confesses, taking your hand and holding it.
“You are?”
“I am. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to tell you… and I completely understand if you don’t feel the same way-” He starts to ramble but you cut him off by quickly capturing his lips with yours, unable to hold back any longer.
His lips are so soft and feel like home to you, like everything that has happened to you has led right up to this moment. This perfect moment.
“Does that mean you feel the same?” He chuckles, brushing his thumb across your cheek.
You laugh. “Yes. Very much so.”
“Thank the Maker. I was so nervous.” He lets out a soft breathy laugh and you can’t help but grin at him, not minding the continuous fluttering in your stomach.
“Let’s go home so I can properly cook for you and treat you how you deserve to be treated.” He stands up, offering his hand.
You take it and as you walk back toward home, he doesn’t let go. And as you walk past Yuno and his latest conquest who he seemed to have blown you off for, Hunter tilts your chin up toward him.
“Hey, keep your eyes on me.” He grins down at you as you continue walking.
“I have no reason to look anywhere else.” You promise him, getting lost in the brown eyes that have been your favorite since the moment they looked your way.
The moment that you approach the house, your lips are on his again and dinner is momentarily forgotten as he pushes you up against the siding, not ready to let Echo, Crosshair, Tech, or Wrecker ruin the moment yet.
“I’m never letting you go.” Hunter whispers against your lips.
“Somehow, I’m okay with that.” You laugh softly as your lips find each other again.
