HornetRibbons

Summary:

Gangle shares Zooble a dream about a certain spider.

Notes:

my friend Zezo had to write some of Hornet's lines since I didn't actually play Hollow Knight, since I suck at games

sorry ever since some other friend dared Zezo to draw Hornet X Gangle out of nowhere - I fell in love with this ship..

also Hornet is British in this idk the way Zezo described her made her feel British to me for some reason 😭

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: A Dream

Chapter Text

it was just a usual day after another horrible adventure, Gangle wanted to hang out with Zooble, with not much to do anyways.

after a nice drawing session, they chat for a while. the topic leads to dreams.
"What do you dream about? nothin' interesting about my dreams." Zooble says to Gangle softly.

"Uhh.. well.."
"There's this one dream.. where.."

---
The Dream.

Gangle sits down on a bench, with her bad posture, not trying to fix it - it's really cold. she feels tired, blinking slowly.. she could almost fall asleep, but it's a dream, and she knows it. she remembers many horrible dreams, and often forgets nice ones, that she used to write down. the thought makes her sad.

until someone joins her, - seemingly some spider thing with a mask. it sits on the bench gently. Gangle notices them but doesn't flinch, the figure looks at her, and looks.. starry-eyed? Gangle slowly turns to the figure, no longer looking sad with her blank expression.

she smiles slightly, not breaking eye contact - not even noticing that she's smiling, until she does notice, and finally breaking it. 

"Greetings, masked one." the spider says gently and quietly

Gangle didn't expect a word from them, considering no stranger truly ever wanted to talk to her.. Gangle begins to feel nervous, blushing slightly, it's so awkward - what is she gonna say? is she really gonna talk to a stranger?


"Hi!!"

she speaks up in her high-pitched voice, sounding happy - yet she's worried she said it too loudly, or did she stutter? so awkward she wishes this dream would end already, why is she even here? she thought to herself.

"... You seem enthusiastic? Pleased to meet you as well?" the red-dressed creature turns her head away

Gangle blushes even more, covering her mouth

"Y..Yeah!"

She replies quickly, Gangle feels so BANANA 

"... Ur quite an adorable bundle of ribbons." The spider says like she's shakespeare.

"H-HUH?" Gangle was extremely confused and flustered

They slowly scoot closer to each other, hands intertwining, gangle's brain is malfunctioning her lesbian brain going "AWOGA" for the spider beside.
Hornet gets closer as she sets her needle down on the bench and holds gangle's face with a claw.

"Dear one. What is your name and pronouns before we start?"

Gangle flinches at the fact she called her "Dear", it's a nickname some people use casually, but it felt different this time for some reason.

"I-I'm Gangle! and my pronouns are.. She/Her..?" Gangle replies in a confused-yet-flustered tone

"And.. what are we starting.. e-exactly?" she gets even more red

"I sure do love women" she whispers to herself, then replies "Wonderful, I'll enjoy making out with you in my family's secret love making knowledge."

"EEK!! M-Making out!? I- What..!?" the ribbons quickly reacts.

Hornet wraps her arms around gangle's ribbon-y waist (WHICH IS FUCKING RIBBONS) as slowly whispers.

".... I'm she/her too... Stranger.. my name is Horny- I mean er, Hornet."
they gaze into each other's eyes and Gangle smiles back at Hornet, guilty. Hornet returns a HORNY expression back at Gangle, smiling in a funny way

it sends a shiver down Gangle's RIBBON spine, she feels like she could explode out of embarrassment

"I-I.. I guess I- I can.. or maybe- I don't know! who even are you??"

"I'm lesbian" the Hornet replies.

"O-Okay I guess.. but t-this is um.." she stutters, then continues with something else - "in public!? when we don't know each other!?"

"We sure can talk if you want"

"I-I guess.. we're not going anywhere are we? haha.." she stutters yet again, like she did several times she probably didn't notice out of the amount of embarrassment she's feeling.

Notes:

I am aware that if you sit down on da bench in the game you'll save the game or smth.
this is a fic I WILL continue! this is just the beginning, I have a lot more of this.

also original ship name was "HornyRibbons" but I'm a coward so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
