Author's Note: I don't usually write for this fandom, but this is for my little bro, hunter rubyblade, and his girlfriend, Sam. (goodness gracious, he's three years younger than me and has a gf while I'm STILL single… that kinda stinks).
Disclaimer: I don't own Wizard 101 nor do I own Hunter or Samantha.
He knew he was supposed to be on a quest right now, but he didn't care. Venturing to Crocatopia would have to wait. Samantha was feeling down, and he would drop anything to make her feel better. As they were strolling through the commons, Hunter felt a strange calm in the midst of the excitement of the street traffic only yards away. He couldn't pinpoint what the feeling really was, but he was more focused on Samantha to worry about it.
"…And then I was defeated again…" she griped, her voice quavering. "I guess I'm just not strong enough yet. I guess I need to improve—"
Hunter turned to face her and grabbed her shoulders, looking into her deep eyes. "Sam, don't ever think that you aren't strong enough. In fact, you're probably the strongest spell-caster I've ever met, so don't you dare think that for a minute." He hated so much how she could think so lowly of herself.
Sam merely nodded, trying desperately to ignore the fluttering feeling inside her chest. He thought she was strong? He was so powerful; how could he not notice how strong he was in comparison to her? "Hunter…"
Hunter's heart nearly stopped beating. "…Yes, Sam?"
"You know I love you, right?" Samantha mentally begged him to love her, to understand how she felt. Did he feel the fluttering too?
"…Of course I love you. How could I not?"
And right there, in the middle of the commons, Hunter pulled Samantha to him and into the most marvelous first kiss a wizard could experience.
Yeah, I know, totally cheesy, but that's how my little bro likes 'em!
