“Do you want one too? “
“What?”
Hunter blinked at Willow confused.
“A flower crown.” She said with a gentle smile. “It is just that you have been looking at me making them for a while now... I thought you might want one.”
Hunter's cheeks burned a little. He was so enchanted by Willow’s process that he didn't even notice that he was starting this much.
“Yes, please.” He managed to say it with his heart pounding in his chest.
She gently used her fingers to brush his head before starting the flower crown. And Hunter closed his eyes to let him sink into this wonderful feeling. She was always so careful and lovely with him. Just like when she cut his hair in the bathroom.
The plant witch could make the crown in seconds with just a flick of her wrists. But she wanted to take her sweet time. Bonding with him through this whole process.
Once she had finished, she handed him a small mirror. He hesitated before he looked at his reflection. He knew that Willow’s work would be perfect, but he probably was ruining everything with his face, with the gap in his teeth and his scars.
However, the look on Willow’s face silently encouragement made him finally glance at his face.
The ugly scars his uncle left him were still there, but this time they were not the focus. His Captain’s gift to him was. The way she had arranged the flowers in his head was breathtaking. Made him feel good in his own skin again.
“I look beautiful... Thank you, Willow.”
“You are welcome, Hunter.” She said smiling, happy to make him smile as well.
