"He has two forms, Hunter. He's only 6'7."
"Only, hmph," Hunter grumbled. "I feel short."
"I like you as you are." I hummed and expertly turned in his arms.
He smirked and helped me, so I could sit on his lap facing him with my arms resting on his shoulders.
"Sorry for jumping to conclusions. I just don’t want to lose you."
"You're apologizing too much today."
"You deserve it though. I was anxious and really thought you were bothered."
"If we were in a different scenario where life was like Old Aslan, then yes. Maybe I would be disturbed. However, our lives have been a clutter of events and challenges, and it's mentally exhausting. You're doing an amazing job handling it all."
He pressed his forehead against mine and those orange eyes sparkled with pride. "I'm thankful to have a girlfriend who cares enough to make sure we're all happy in this growing relationship."
We kissed after that, and I realized my Hunter was the sweetest.
Loving Approval
"Where does this path lead?" I asked Hunter, my hand in his as we strolled through the thick forest. We'd been walking for about 45 minutes, and I still didn't know where he was taking me.
"Just up this path and we'll be there," Hunter whispered and squeezed my right hand. During our walk, I explained everything that had happened during Alpha Pure. From my parents and birthplace to Finn being reunited with his family and the bits about the Council.
Hunter listened to everything closely as I went into the details of how I felt about it all and our current situation.
He agreed that we'd have to try and be ahead of whatever Odion was planning, but he didn't think Odion was necessarily evil either, especially when he could have killed Orion and me during our confrontation but didn't.
Now that Hunter was caught up, he wanted to show me something before we went back home. It was only early afternoon, and I wanted to enjoy as much time with him before we returned and headed to get Theo.
We finally reached a tiny clearing and another cement peddle path that appeared to lead to a small home up ahead. Hunter was quiet for a long moment as we stood in place.
I didn't say anything, not wanting to disrupt his thoughts. He squeezed my hand again, and I comfortably squeezed it back before we moved to the right towards a flower bed.
He brushed his thumb over the back of my hand and let go of it, taking a few steps forward and standing right at the edge of a bunch of flowers.
They all appeared newly blossomed and taken care of, the various colors of reds, pinks, and yellows looked mesmerizing together and made me sigh at their beauty.
Hunter crouched, and had a small smile on his face. "Hey, Big Bro,"
My heart dropped at his greeting and I took a quiet step forward to see the small rectangle shape of cement that I soon realized was a grave.
"It was hard for me to come down today. Don't know why really. I guess because I was scared to come alone? Finn usually comes with me, but he's been pretty busy. We thought his family was killed by the Forsaken, but they were rescued in time. It really is a relief." Hunter sounded a bit happy to share the news.
He took a deep breath,his body tense. "I'm happy for him. I just...wished maybe someone got to you on time. Maybe if they had...I'd still have my big brother with me."
I clenched my fist as my eyes teared up, and I bit my lip. Even after all these years, it still hurt Hunter that no one was able to save his brother in time.He'd become a Forsaken...yet, they didn't even try to help him.
"If you were here, I could formally introduce my girlfriend to you. See, she's standing right there. I brought her here without telling her, which was silly of me, but I really didn't want to come here alone. Being all alone here is really hard." He whispered the last sentence and trailed his fingers on the McGinty part.
"Mom and Dad didn't come over this year. Maybe they'll come later? I hope they do. At least the gardener made sure your grave is nice and perfect. I seriously miss you."
He looked back at me with watery eyes, and I cautiously walked towards him and crouched beside him, putting my hand in his.
"Brother. There's also another reason why I brought Celestia," Hunter whispered and squeezed my hand. I looked at him and saw the wide smile on his face.
"I want to marry Celestia,"Hunter announced.What?!
