Luz POV
BEEP BEEP BEEP
“God’s I swear I’m going to murder that thing one day.”
I sat up, wiping the drool off my face. I immediately realized how hot I was, and looked down.
Why am I wearing a hoodie?
“Luz, it’s not alive. How would you murder it.” Willow said from somewhere ahead of me.
Thaaaaat’s why.
Usually, I slept shirtless and with just shorts on, but with Willow over it always feels awkward. With anyone it always feels awkward.
“Point,,still stands,,” I say, rubbing my eyes.
“Right, right. Don’t you have that date with Amity today?” Willow said, coming into my view. She was sitting on my roommate’s bed, it being a twin like mine, with a computer in her lap and phone next to her.
“Not a date, Willow, we’re reading a kids book together and might hold hands,” I responded.
“Oooh how progressive!”
“Shut the fuck up.”
While yes, I was hopelessly head over heels for Amity, who’s to say she felt the same? Even though I know she’s changed, that doesn’t mean she’s suddenly very gay and very into me.
To be fair, nothing about her screams very hetero either.
I jumped out of bed, nearly falling over and breaking my nose in the process. Willow audibly sighed and went back to her work, not paying me any more mind. I sped over to my small, rickety dresser and picked up an old My Little Pony shirt, grey ripped jeans and some Spider-Man socks. I went over to the bathroom, got changed and did my hair, slipped on my converse, grabbed my bag and left,,,
,,,without saying goodbye to Willow
She is not going to let me live that d-
Bing!
-and there she is.

You’re at least still delusional about Amity not liking you.
Luzura - 11:46
SHUTUGP
I got to the door of Amity’s house, pocketing my phone. Whatever Willow is sending next is something I don’t want to see.
Yes I like Amity, I’ve accepted that for myself.
But when I tell people, it’ll all be real-
and the very very real chance of her not liking me back is also. Real. Very real.
Before I could get lost in my silly little head with my silly little self-deprecating thoughts, Amity opened the door.
“Luz!! So, uh, Boscha is here right now, but uh we have a huge apartment and don’t share a room and,,”
“AMITY WHO THE HELL IS AT THE DOOR.”
“LUZ, BOOK CLUB,”
“..ok.”
She rubbed her forehead, as if she was getting a headache.
I get why.
“That’s fine! As long as I'm hanging out with you.” I said, hoping to cheer her up.
She removed her hand and her face lit up, making her as red as Rudolf’s nose. She grabbed my hand, oh my god , and led me to her room-
Before Boscha stepped in front of us.
“Amity, can I just ask something,” She said, looking me up and down.
“What.” Amity quipped back, clearly wanting to get to her room.
“How,,loud,,,are you guys gonna,,,be. Y’know, like do I need earbuds, or maybe I should just leave, or-”
“Move or I’ll punch you back to your parents house.”
“,,so. earbuds.”
Amity huffed off and dragged us to her room, shutting the door. We were now in Amity’s room. Alone.
Dumbass, obviously!!
Did you think her parents would join us, idiot??
She moved us to her bed, sitting down and looking away from me. I sat down away from her, knowing that if I got too close I probably would’ve lit up like a Christmas tree. Sadly, Amity cannot read minds and moved right next to me after getting her book.
“So, I thought we could just try to read out the first book together. Maybe work our way up to the latest?” Amity said, glancing over at me.
“Yeah! Uhm..That sounds great !!” I responded, pulling my book out of my bag.
--------------------
“Hecate, I beg you, back down and I won’t hurt you.” Amity said, even going as far as to talk like Azura. It was oddly endearing, seeing this girl who used to treat me like something a dog threw up now reading a child’s book with me. Titan, how did i get so lucky.
“Uh, Luz, it’s your page.”
Shit! Had I really been staring that long?
Don’t contemplate it dummy, respond! She’s staring at you!
“Okay, well i think that’s enough for today.” Amity said, placing her bookmark in the book and putting it away.
“Sorry, I got distracted. But uhm, if its okay with you, I’d like to stay a bit longer?” I responded. I mean I did get distracted. She didn’t need to know why.
“Yeah that’s fine with me, I don’t have any other plans anyways!” She said, smiling at me.
Shit I’ll never get used to that.
“O-Okay! What do you want to do now?” I asked, hoping she would say something along the lines of agressive makeout session . Wishful thinking, but a girl can dream.
Amity thought for a moment before turning to me again. “How about we watch the first Azura movie! I know they’re kinda shitty but-”
“Yeah! Let’s do it!” I said, cutting her off. If we watched a movie once every club, then in about three clubs we’d get to the scene where Hecate and Azura kiss. Perfect.
What I didn’t plan for, however, was Amity sitting right next to me. I don’t think she realized our proximity, seeing as her bed was already quite small, but SHIT it was all I could think about. Her purple hair, which I still couldn’t wrap my head around , her smaller frame, fuck even her eyes! Her eyes were like pools of gold, and I was swimming in them and having a ball of a time doing so. Her freckles, too. Shit this girl was so stunning.
“OOhhkay! I got it to play without issue!” Amity said, leaning into me slightly. I looked down and saw the slightest dust of blush on her cheeks. It is cold in here, maybe I could ask for a blanket?
--------------------
Well that went as well as I should’ve expected. You asked for a blanket, Luz! Idiot, did you think she’d just hand you one and stay cold and by herself? NO! Why did you- I,,why did I not think any of that throughhh.
It was about the end of the movie, and Amity had been asleep for most of it. After getting the blanket she put it around us. After leaning in closer to my side she almost immediately dozed off. Just as the credits started to roll my phone started buzzing.

Luzura - 10:48
bye by e
God Willow if you weren’t my best friend I’d kill you.
I shook Amity awake, being careful as not to scare her, “Hey, Ames, can I stay over for the night? It’s pretty late.”
Amity opened her eyes and stretched a bit before replying, “Yeahh..you can take my bed. I’ll sleep on the couch.”
“Nono I can stay on the couch, this is your house after all.”
“Luz it’s fine, I’ve done it before when Skara stays over-”
“Nope! I’m sleeping on the couch! No arguments.”
“Fine, if you’re gonna be difficult how about we both just sleep on the couch.”
“..do you mean the b-”
“YES the bed I meant the bed sorry I’m still half asleep.”
“..ok.”
With that, I got up and quickly stripped myself of my jeans (since those are a fucking PAIN to sleep in) and climbed into bed. No big deal! It’s just two buddies, in a bed. In a twin bed. Two friends in a bed. And I’m head over heels for Amity. NO problem!!!!! Twin bed!!!!!
Shit.
