Pace Yourself

Summary:

Hunter just wanted to hold hands. Where did all this come from?

Or: Hunter wanting affection but not wanting affection and being scared about being in a relationship and Huntlow is in there somewhere, plus Belos somewhere too.

Hopefully this all made sense 😅

Notes:

Wow, my first Hunter related thing ever! Maybe I’ll actually start roleplaying as him again. It’s a step in the right direction anyway, but don’t get your hopes up.

Soooooo I got tired of Hunter for quite a while since he was literally everywhere fandom wise and it drove me nuts, and mostly everyone had him as a crush in my rp book and I’m like “NO. No more. Not right now.”

I liked him as a character, it’s just overexposure ig? Or I got overwhelmed?

Anyway consider this as me slowly coming around to writing him/roleplaying as him.

Haven’t watched the show in a bit, so lmk if I got things wrong.

Rant over, enjoy the oneshot-

Work Text:

When he first got together with Willow, Hunter was…well, he didn’t know how to describe it.

He was happy, but also a bit uneasy maybe?

It wasn’t Willow that was the problem. She was smart, kind, great with plant magic, not a mean bone in her body unless you make her angry.

It’s him, he was the problem. Too scared, too weak, too afraid to even say I love you.

So he just settled with like instead.

And he’s not the…best…at affection and being affectionate.He tried but he just can’t do it yet.

But Willow understands and she’s not mad at him and take your time???

Why isn’t she mad at him? Doesn’t she want someone who can actually love her properly?

Wait…she wants him?

Why?

He doesn’t understand. He’s a bad boyfriend and person who deserves to be alone.

Huh…so, it’s because you love someone that you stick with them no matter what?

He thought Belos loved him too, but he was just another grimwalker, another Caleb.

Belos didn’t even see him as Hunter.

Belos isn’t even here, why is he thinking about him?

Belos is here, he lives on in his thoughts.

That…he doesn’t like that. He’s not fine with that. Belos went away. Belos should stay away. He’s not possessed anymore. He’s Hunter now. Just Hunter.

Just Hunter.

And apparently loved by Willow.

Just…Hunter and Willow.

Just Hunter and Willow.

No Belos.

He liked that.
