Warm Inside- John x Charlie

inspired by a charlie x john headcanon by @mechanicaldemonio 's headcanons.

it's raining outside, so they're in the library together, just being cute.

hope u like it!

~~~

John and Charlie were having a picnic in the woods. They unpacked everything from the basket and now they sat on the blanket, Charlie's back leaning on John's chest as they fed eachother strawberries. They talked and laughed like they never did before, and kissed a few times. They had a great time together. "I seriously thank you for making me go out, John," Charlie confessed with a smile on her face. "I've had a great time." "Me too" John replied and leaned in to kiss her.

They kept doing it for a while, until they heard a few raindrops falling on the leavs above them. They looked at each other. "I think we should bring everything inside." said John, and Charlie nodded. It was a smart decision- as soon as they finished putting everything back in the basket they brought, it started actually raining, and the two felt like they were standing under a waterfall. They were both blinded by the raindrops getting into their eyes and sticking their hair to their faces, but John grabbed Charlie's hand and they started running towards the nearest building. Charlie let out a surprised laugh as they out out under the trees and the rain really poured on them. She lifted her head and let the rain wash her face, a huge smile spread on them. John founf himself staring at her. She is truly something incredible, he thought to himself as he brushed the hair away from his face, smiling as Charlie was spinning around in the rain.

John walked up to Charlie, taking her hand. He smiled at her and spinned her around again, then layed his hand on her waist, as she layed her hand on his shoulder. They both closed their eyes and John leaned his forehead on Charlie's, getting as close to her as he could. They were spinning slowly in their place for a while, just enjoyning each other's company. John eventually opened his eyes, taking Charlie in his arms. She opened her eyes looked up at him, smiling, her cheeks a little red. She layed her hands on the back of his neck as he pulled her up by her waist and kissed her. That kiss didn't feel like anything else for the both of them- their warm lips melted together as the cold rain hit their face and body, the feeling of being in each other's arms- despite the cold, they were feeling warm.

Eventually they pulled away, smiling at each other. "I think we should really get inside now," Charlie whispered, a little breathless. John nodded and let go of her, taking her hand in his almost immediately after. It still amazed him how her cheeks turned a little red at every sign of effection he showd. They entered the nearest building- the library. John toom his jacket out of the basket and let Charlie wear it, and after a little protest from her, she wore it. She felt her heart jumping in her chest when John crossed his fingers though hers and held them both in the pocket of her his jacket, and let herself smile. She almost felt like giggling like a teenager, but she stopped herself. John kissed the top of her head as they walked in, and as soon as they did he smiled. "I love the library" he whispered, dragging Charlie behind him as he went to explore the bookselves. Charlie rolled her eyes, still smiling. "You're such a nerd" she said quietly, not wanting to be shushed by the librarian. John chuckled, picked a book from one of the shelves. "So we're soulmates," he replied, and made Charlie's blush deepened.

John eventually picked a book, and went to one of the couches in the back corner of the library. John set down and Charlie almost immediately joined him- she found a book Arty recommended to her and decided to give it a try. John sat up with his back comfortably leaning on the back of the couch, and Charlie leaned on his side, her head laid on his shoulder as they both read. At some point Charlie got a little tired. She yawned, went to borrow the book and came back to John, the book closed (with a bookmark that was once Theodore's bowtie). Charlie lay down on the couch, her head in John's lap, and took a little nap. John smiled when he saw that, and started stroking her hair slowly.

It was a perfect moment for both of them, and John wished they will have more of these on the future.

I totally did not forget to upload this

The Hunter And The Bird - Prologue (Hunter toh x Reader series)

Hearing Ears

Summary: You are a human who travelled to the Boiling Isles with Luz Noceda. On a visit to a old book store, you met a strange boy named "Zeno".

It's been six days since you had traveled to the Boiling Isles, a magical realm filled with witches and demons. You and Luz began an apprenticeship under Eda the Owl Lady, the self-claimed most powerful witch on the isles. Today is a day off and you and Luz had already decided to spend this day together at an old book store in Bonesborough while Eda was sleeping all day at her house.

Luz was a cool kid a year younger than you. You two met and bonded through anime just a few days before you were about to be sent to a creepy sounding "reality check" camp and accidentally wandered into the Boiling Isles. She had been a nice company, a bit too bold and hot-headed, but she was a kind-hearted and good-natured kid nonetheless.

Visiting the book store was not the first choice of day off activities Luz had, but you two decided against adventuring in the Boiling Isles with little knowledge of the isles and no adult witch guardian. The last time a tomato-like thing turned into a bat and clawed Luz's face when she tried to eat it, the Boiling Isles never ceased to surprise you.

The book store was larger than it seemed outside, but the passways were very narrow and you had to move through a dim lit maze of bookselves and book piles, but it was worth it as the old book store had a lot of banned books on wild magic.

Luz stared at everything with sparkly eyes in awe of it's mysterious atmosphere and you admired it just as much. After minutes of wandering in the store, you and Luz began looking for books and started reading them in a corner.

You and Luz would chatter about cool facts you just read from the books after finishing every few pages. Wild magic, witch biology, flora and fauna of the Boiling Isles, all so fascinating to study.

"Hey Luz, check out this elemental magic from the Savage Ages!"

"Ooh, awesome! Wait, (Y/N), look to your left!"

From the left corner of your eyes, you saw a boy with ash-blond hair and magenta eyes staring at you. You and Luz both. It's kinda creepy actually, like he was staring into your soul with his eyebrows furrowed with...irritation?

Luz nudged your arms and whispered, "What is his problem?"

"We are probably talking too loud, maybe we should lower our voice a bit."

Luz nudged your arms again, he was walking towards you.

"Silence. Are your round ears not functional enough to hear how loud you were talking, human wannabes?"

He said with irritation, arms crossed with a book in his gloved right hand. You recognized that book as From Bones To Earth, a study of wild magic according to Eda. You were about to just play along with him when Luz spitted back.

"Hey," Luz growled a warning, "We are real-deal humans, and our ears are perfectly functional. You didn't have to talk so mean like that. Is your little witch mind incapable of conveying?"

His eyebrows furrowed harder and grunted. You felt him there, you were like that to a couple of kids in middle school too. Back then, you, a mess at social interaction thought that staring would help stop the kids chattering loudly in your favorite class to help you concentrate, and the result was not great. You were lucky to have people to help you learn to socialize.

His eyes scanned the titles of the books you and Luz were reading and retorted. "Well, apparently YOUR idiotic human brains don't acknowledge the dangers of studying wild magic. Maybe you... magic-less creatures wouldn't understand, but this stuff is restricted for reasons. For your own safety and for not being jailed, I highly recommend you to not tempt with it."

"Pfft, death." Luz scoffed, being the mood. Seeing Luz's unperturbed reaction, the boy hmphed and turned their head around.

You had gotten genuinely curious why he would take that book to read, and the bookmark in it indicated that it was highly likely that he had actually read it and knew that it was wild magic related.

But before you could ask, the boy had left your sight.

****

After reading everything in hand, you set off to find some other materials. Something tells you that the boy had not left yet and you secretly hoped to be able to find him.

You looked around the old book store for his trace when he appeared on your back.

"What are you looking for, doesn't seem to me you're looking for a book."

Great, he showed up himself.

"I am looking at exactly who I was looking for now. Sorry my friend there talked to you like that by the way, she can be so hot-headed and overprotective of her friends sometimes."

"It's fine, I was rude back then."

"It's fine." You shot him a smile and asked, "My name is Tori, what's yours?"

He glanced at you. "It's none of your business."

"Okay, Mister None Of Your Business, what's up with the wild magic you're studying. Lemme guess, none of my business?"

"You learn fast, human." He said sarcastically.

"I sure do." You walked backward in between two shelves and felt the warm morning light pour down from the window to your back. "I am just curious how wild magic is so-" you air quoted, "-dangerous." "I can't find anything on that claim, and it would be nice if you could give some scientific proof to back it up."

"Like how the many great cities fell to ruins because of the practice of wild magic during the Savage Ages?"

"Scientific. History is written by victors, plus that doesn't explain how wild magic can hurt people that practice it, it just stated the consequence."

"... True." He admitted reluctantly. "I ... wish I knew how too." He said quietly, sounding surprisingly genuine.

"Why did you insist that wild magic is dangerous?" You asked calmly with sincerity.

He glanced at you and answered softly with reluctance, "My uncle is badly hurt from the use of wild magic, said that wild magic torn our family apart. I wish I knew how it did that to uncle so I can reverse it."

"Then maybe we can work together to find out. You want to know how wild magic hurt your family, and I want to know how wild magic harms. Meet me every Saturday seven o'clock sharp at the entrance of this store and we can share our findings on it, deal?"

He considered in silence for a minute while your stared at his face. Under the bright sunlight, you could see a scar that sat across his right chin and a marking on his left ear, just what has this kid been through? He looked just around your age. You hope you were just overthinking.

"Deal."

You beamed and your right hand reached for him to shake. He grunted at the unnecessary, but ultimately took it. You wished to have a whoopee cushion on you badly, but sadly you didn't. Maybe you should start bringing one to everywhere.

"Try not to end up in the conformatorium while we are at it."

"Roger that, good luck to you too."

It was then the clock rang eight times and you know it was eight in the morning.

"Gotta go, bye! See you next Saturday, human."

He then left the book store in a rush. You kind of hoped he meant what he said about meeting you next Saturday because you had started looking forward to hanging out with your new friend now.

Little did you know, he was planning to turn against you, who is apparently a practicer of wild magic who got disparately spooked from the danger of wild magic he was talking about. That is, after he figured out how to reverse the curse wild magic inflicted on his uncle, Emperor Belos. He wasn't sure if you practiced wild magic yet, but he would find out in time.

******

It had been a week since you made a deal to study wild magic together with a boy in an old book store. You were not sure if he would show up today but you had brought some reading materials you were going to share with him just in case. Luz figured out a way to cast light spells with glyphs a few days ago and you decided to show him that too.

It was seven o'clock sharp in the morning and you were waiting for him by the entrance of the store when he showed up huffing and puffing.

"Sorry, huff, duty."

"No need to apologize, you're right on time. Morning!" You greeted him and handed him your handkerchief for wiping sweat.

He didn't take it and just stared at you confusedly. In the board daylight, you had noticed his dark eyes bags.

"Whatcha are you staring at? Just lending you this for your sweat."

"Oh." He said in realization, his brain must have been fuzzy from running here. "Thanks, I'll give it back to you next week after washing it."

"M'kay. Do you need to take a break first?"

"Give me a minute."

"Sure." You leaned by a wall nearby while he was wandering around and taking his rest.

"Say, what's your name again?"

He stopped pacing around. You couldn't tell his expression as he was facing you backwards while he was telling you his name. "Aah-umm- Zeno!"

"Zeno, ay? Nice name." Sounds kind of like Zuko to be honest.

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look at you. "I'm good now, should we go in?"

You couldn't tell if he was lying or caught off guard by the question. You didn't care if he tried to hide his name by coming up with a fake name obviously on the spot. He probably had his reasons and you just needed a name to call him.

******

You and Zeno found a quiet corner of the book store to study wild magic at undisturbed. You placed one of the many lamps laying around the store between you and Zeno to share the light source and began discussing.

Zeno started out explaining his uncle's conditions, then got sidetracked when you connected those signs with plants magic. Not long after, he started excitedly ranting about how fasinating weather forecast with magical plants was. You listened with pleasure and occasionally added remarks which encouraged his eloquence like kindling to a campfire.

You liked listening to him. You liked how him spoke with such enthusiasm and joy. Studying with someone with the same passion is always great, they make studying fun and make you feel listened to and understood. However, such people rarely come by and you really wanted to treasure this great study pal.

The topic shifted again and again, until you finally checked the time on your phone. It was a few minutes from eight.

Shame, Zeno said he had to leave at eight. You had just become fond of his company.

You grabbed a book of wanted wild witches to pass time. The book stated the information and the pictures of the wanted wild witches for bounty hunters.

"Hmm? Are you a bounty hunter?"

You shrugged. "Nah, but it's surprisingly fun to read, their story is interesting."

You caressed the page of Martha and Diago, a duo of teachers who spreaded wild magic and revolutionary ideas to students.

You smiled. It was always ... comforting to know that someone out there was people willing to fight against dictators.

"Is the stories that amusing?"

"They were not afraid to speak their mind. I admire them, Zeno."

"Admire? They are wild witches! Why don't you admire someone else instead, like the Golden Guard or the coven heads."

"Chill, Zeno. Besides, they work for Belos, and I think Belos is a tyrant."

"WHAT?"

You hushed him promptly. In response, he whispered to you aggressively.

"Why would you say that?!!"

"Easy, boy. I understand that you might have very high opinion of him, but hear me out. I had been investigating how the government of this world works and I noticed how the dissidents kept disappearing. I am sure you know that too."

"Wild witches are dangerous criminals, they deserve to be gone!"

You gasped in horror. "How could you say that! They are people like you and me, no one deserves to be hurt. Plus, we don't know that yet? We are here for the proof how wild magic is dangerous, remember?"

"I am here for learning how wild magic hurt my uncle, not here to be merciful and spare the wild witches. Know your place, human. You are not one to tell me about them."

"Well it was not just the covenless who "gets disappeared" mysteriously, even those with sigils can't express their views freely! Argue that! Even if wild witches ARE dangerous, there is no need to silence everyone. If Belos is not a tyrant, why would he silence the whole isles? Good leaders listen, and no one deserves to be silenced." You said in a sad tone. You were angry at what the Emperor did, but were not angry at him.

You curled up protectively and buried half of your face behind your legs.

"The Emperor is a kind, strong and wise witch who knows the best on how to rule the isles! Sure, he doesn't like those with opposite views and may have imprisoned and done horrible things to them, but that's for the greater good! Those voices will only tear the isles apart, destroying the peace and harmony the Emperor worked so hard to create and maintain! Wild witches burnt cities and homes and inflicted misery on everyone. They deserve no voice and you should be ashamed of defending them! You know what, this is stupid, I can investigate without you. I don't want to hear from you ever again."

You didn't expect him to get all aggressive and personal. You did't know what to say. It was clear that he had this mindset carved in his brain, and no amount of talking now will reach him.

"Fine. I had fun talking with you too."

You whispered the last part. Right after you finished that sentence, the town clock stuck eight times.

He stood up and stormed off.

You sighed in defeat. You really didn't hope things to go like this. You just wished that you didn't lose your great study pal.

******

"Stop right there! Emperor's coven! You are under arrest, halt or I'll fire!"

The Golden Guard had identified one of the two wild witches he was required to capture for his mission in the woods of Bonesborough. The infamous duo was known to be powerful users and enthusiastic preachers of wild magic and had remained covenless til that very day.

According to his intel, the two wild witches had been hiding from the Emperor's coven never leaving a trail for years, but recently the male were spotted in local towns for supplies.

The witch immediately rode on his palismens to fly off.

The Golden Guard rode on his staff of artificial magic and navigated through the woods where the two wild witches were trying to lose him.

The palismen was swift and the Golden Guard almost lost track of him in the convoluted part of the woods when suddenly they heard a loud cry from a feminine voice.

They both followed the source of voice and found that to be a woman who was holding her child. The man immediately got off his palismen to check on the moaning woman.

She was shaking, her right feet bleeding from a cut. The infant bawled such a horrible noise it would make a nightmare potion of top notch quality.

"Martha! Holly! Hang on." The man yelled with his deep and mellow voice.

Hunter now recognised the woman. She was the other witch Hunter was after, although she appeared more matured than her photo indicated.

"Diago... You are here..."

"Don't move! Emperor's Coven!" The Golden Guard pointed his glowing staff towards the couple.

The man, Diago shielded Martha with his body. Upon seeing her father, the child stopped crying and calmed down. As his child quieted down, Diago got on his knees and pleaded.

"Please, I will do anything, please just let us go, I promise we will stay quiet, we just want a peaceful life."

The Golden Guard laughed, gesturing mockingly. "I am not going to be tricked. If you wanted to keep your family safe, then you should have picked a coven and be rid of your wild ways. If I let you be, your wild magic would tear even more families apart."

As the Golden Guard suddenly teleported behind the women and pointed his staff towards the women's throat, the child was spooked and cried even louder.

"How? I have never stolen, never robbed, never cheated, never killed, yet we are to be executed and shamed for eternity. It was within our right to use our magic, who are you to decide our ways and our fate?"

Diago turned to face the Golden Guard. His eyes burned like a silent flame, staring into the Golden Guard's soul. Hunter was speechless.

"Diago..."

"Martha, we will get you to home, our child will be safe, I promise."

Hunter did not know what to do. He wanted to arrest them, but that would have torn their family apart like how Belos told Hunter his family was.

Was this how he lost his parents? Taken by the coven?

The red light from his staff dimmed.

*****

Night fell and at the dark horizon, the cities shimmered with warm lights from windows of houses, aligning with the inky, starry sky. This had been a rough day for the Golden Guard, who was now standing on the tall walls of the Emperor's castle, gazing afar, wondering if you were there somewhere within his sight.

Wearing the golden mask had usually made him feel more confident, more comfortable in his own skin, but today it made he felt more ... suffocating, like there was a heavy weight in his chest.

He took off his mask to breathe, yet that horrible feeling would not go away. Helpless, he turned around to lean his body against a merlon, as if he was hiding from something.

Maybe ... he should not have talked to you like that, even though you were totally wrong about his uncle. Maybe he felt bad at the thought of losing you. Maybe... Maybe because it's for your own good! Unity brought order, and order created peace! That's what uncle told him, told everybody. And he dared not to think otherwise.

The grand castle stood tall before him, looming dangerously, reminding him of his uncle. Graceful, intimating.

His gaze travelled away from the unpleasant sight in search of something comforting, but only the cold bricks, the tall walls and the solemn, masked guards surrounded him.

He could only look up to watch the sky. He remembered a book about astrology that discussed the use of the magic drawn from the stars and he knew you would love exploring new magic sources.

But would you want to hear from him at all? And why would he want to hear from a dangerous mind like you? He sighed, bracing his mask to his chest with one hand, and rested the other on your handkerchief in his pocket.

Deep in thought, he did not notice Darius, the stylish head of the Abomination Coven walking towards him.

Darius cleared his throat loudly to signify his presence, but the emperor's nephew still failed to see him.

Darius cleared his throat louder again in attempt to catch his attention.

Still, he had not bulge a bit.

Annoyed, he called out. "Little prince?"

"Ah!" Hunter finally snapped out of his thoughts and . "Oh, it's you, Darius."

"Tell me, little prince, whatever may occupy your attention so much that you had to ignore a coven's head on your duty?"

"Is that all you are here for?"

He blinked. "Not really, I am just here to notify you that Emperor Belos just summoned you and to check on the abomination supply. Now go quickly to the Throne Room with me, I need to get this over as soon as possible for my quality sleep."

"Oh." Hunter got his back off the wall and followed Darius's stride. Great! He could tell Belos about a technique that he read about with you today to harness wild magic and maybe help fight his curse.

"Chop chop, the emperor does not like to wait."

Hunter quietly trotted behind him through corridors, exited to share his findings to Belos. Not long after, they entered the Throne Room where Belos was sitting on his throne.

Darius stood by the door while Hunter instinctively knelt before the masked emperor and looked up to greet him. "Emperor Belos, I heard you summoned for me."

"Indeed, Hunter. Do you perhaps know why?" Belos asked calmly.

Hunter gulped nervously. He knew Belos's warning voice, the dangerous silence before storm, and he knew why Belos might be upset about. Shit, he had forgotten about that earlier, but he could still make up for it by telling the emperor the new possible cure to his curse.

"You had failed to bring in two infamous wild witches to justice today. This isn't like you, nephew, you don't usually disappoint me. Hearing about your humiliating defeat broke my heart, Hunter, how could you let those threats roam free in our world?" Belos accused.

"Your highness, I did not intend to! I would never! They tricked me with their words and that wild witch had a infant and- "

"And you allowed them bring another menace to the world?"

Hunter fell quiet, his eyes glued to the floor.

Suddenly, Belos growled painfully. Concerned, Hunter's head jerked up to see his uncle being tortured by his curse. "Uncle-" "Scout, bring me the thing."

A scout trotted to the emperor's side immediately and offered him a plate of palismen.

Belos broke the small wooden animal into two halves and consumed the palismen's soul, a ghostly green light flickered in his eyes.

"Uncle, I-"

"No need to elaborate! I don't want to listen to your excuses any more. Tomorrow you shall redeem yourself by bringing the two wild witches to the conformatorium and exucute them yourself. Do whatever you wish with the infant." The emperor commanded.

Hunter widened his eyes in horror, but he dared not to disobey.

"Yes, your highness, I will not fail you, again."

If only he would listen...

******

It was Saturday again. You didn't know if he would still show up. He might not want to talk again, which would have been understandable. Some people don't tolerate other views well.

It was a quarter past seven in the morning. You were debating if you should still wait for him.

Suddenly, you heard a familiar voice calling out for your name.

"(Y/N)!"

He came huffing and puffing again.

He halted before you and panted.

"Sorry, huff, duty."

You responded coldly. "It's fine, I just passed by."

"I thought you didn't want to hear from me anymore."

He took out a familiar looking handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to you. It was the one you lended to him that day.

"Is that all you are here for?"

"I... I still think Belos is right, and nothing is ever going to change that, and maybe he doesn't listen, but I want to listen from you."

You handed it back and smiled.

"Take it, just lending you this because you're sweaty."

He looked at you and took the handkerchief.

"Does that mean we're good?"

"You could give it back to me next week, again."

"So...?"

"Yeah, we're good."

You blushed and admitted.

"You need to take a break first, Zeno?"

"Hunter."

"Huh?"

"My name is Hunter."
