The Owl House- Luz Noceda x Male Reader Season 2 - 3

through the looking glass ruins

[Open on Gus sitting in the hallways of Hexside, his head buried in his arms. Luz and Y/N walks up to him.]

Luz:
Hey, Gus. You okay?

Y/N:
Yeah you ain't looking to good

Gus:
I-I messed up bad, guys. Willow just needed help with this pixie problem, right? So I thought, oh, that I'll lure them away with an illusion. But then...

Luz:
That angered the pixies, and they attacked Willow.

Y/N:
Yeah we heard dude.

Gus:
I moved up two grades. What's the point of being good at this if I can't do anything good with it?

Luz:
It was an honest mistake. Besides, Willow's tough as nails. I'm sure you'll both be feeling better tomorrow.

[Cut to Gus laying on the floor of his bedroom, presumably tomorrow.]

Gus:
[groans]

[THEME]

[Camera shows off Gus's bedroom]

Crystal Ball:
[caws and beeps]

[The crystal ball shows a prerecorded message of King.]

King:
(on recording) I'm not reading this.

Gus:
(on recording, off screen) Come on, King. Please?

King:
Ugh, fine. [clears throat] Is that a six-footed pig or a floating appendage? Why, no! It's Gus the Illusion Master. Please leave a message.

[Gus, wearing a cape, hops on screen. The video turns to Willow, her arm in a cast.]

Willow:
(on recording) Hey, Gus. Thanks for sending me all those "Get well soon" illusions but, uh...

[Three tiny illusions of Gus jump onto her shoulders and head.]

Illusion Gus #1:
Willow! How are you feeling? Do you have a fever?

Illusion Gus #2:
Willow, you want me to sing for you? Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi...

Illusion Gus #3:
Willow, is this helping?

Willow:
Can you please take them back?

Gus:
[groans]

[The crystal ball shuts off. Gus rolls onto his stomach and traces a spell circle, summoning his illusion to stand in front of him.]

Illusion Gus #1:
Where's Willow?

Illusion Gus #2:
Why are we here?

Illusion Gus #3:
Did we do bad?

[Gus blows the illusions away. Someone knocks on a door. Cut to Gus opening the front door, where Luz is leaning against the frame and Y/N is standing normally behind her.]

Luz:
Gustopher! Gusteban! Augustabeth! Any of those working for you

Gus:
You need my library card to go find more portal books, don't you?

Y/N:
Told you he'd figure you out.

Luz:
[laughs self-consciously] I haven't been doing a good job of hiding that, huh?

[Gus shakes his head.]

Luz:
Well, I was also hoping to ...  See amity! Come on! [drags Gus away]

Gus:
[screams]

[Cut to Y/N, Luz, and Gus walking through the streets of Bonesborough.]

Luz:
So, Eda's mom told me I'm not the first human to have lived in Bonesborough. If that's true, there might be some info on how they got here in the library!
