Amity pov
It was a nice afternoon on the boiling Isles and Amity was sitting on the couch in the owl house working on their homework with Luz. The human needed help and Amity needed to get the papers and notes she missed because of her injury.
After the grubgy game, Amity had been spending time with Luz, Willow and gus a lot more, the four of them hung out at the owl house a lot. She must admit that she's been enjoying their company a lot more that she would have thought, even Eda and King were nice and deeply entertaining.
But even if she was happy to spend more time with them she wasn't sure how long she could keep going, because Luz and her had become more and more close and Luz beeing Luz that meant more hugs and casual touches. And of course Amity would never complain about that but at the same time it was so overwhelming.
Amity didn't know what to do about her crush on the human, it was her first crush (if you didn't count fictional characters wich she didn't because that was just a whole other level of embarassing.) Because beeing a Blight and all, she didn't really have much time for that kind of things. Nobody has been percistent enough to break down her walls like luz did and nobody except maybe Willow had been so nice and understanding towards her before. This was all new and she didn't know how to handle it.
"Amity?" asked Luz wich made the Witch jump slightly, she had been totally lost in her thoughts
"yes sorry, I was reading some of thoses notes, you were saying?
-would you quizz me on abomination? I'm still havong trouble with remembering that and you're the top students of the abomination track." She asked with big puppy dog eyes. Amity gulped, feeling the tiniest bit of heat rushing through her cheeks how could someone be so cute???
"Y-Yhea of course, let's start with composition.
What do you need to add if your abomination mixture is to liquid? A, dirt, B, demon blood C Slug Slime or D water."
" Hmm, C slug Slime?"
" Correct! So next one.."
They continued for a while, Luz answering every single question right Amity was really impressed qnd proud Luz, she was doing so much progress,
But as time passed Amity noticed that Luz was looking kind of past her and not at her or just looking lost in thought, it looked like she was looking at something on the side of her face
"Luz what are you looking at?" finally asked the green hair witch. Luz suddenly looked away and looked nervous
"Nothing!" she said in the most unconvinible tone possible. Amity just raised her eyebrows at her throwing her an incredulous look, it went on for. Few second of Luz becoming more and more fidgety until she finally gave up
"Fiine! I've been cheating I'm sorry I didn't mean to at first but I noticed that your ears move slightly when you say the good answer and you looked so happy that I was nailing it I didn't want to disappoint you"
"-Whoa, didn't expect that I mean that's kind of really clever but that's not how you'll retain information and..." Amity trailed off when she noticed that luz was clearly not listening to her, she was looking at her but clearly lost in thoughts.
"Actually your ears move a lot, like I've seen them go down or just like do a little up down a lot, it's kind of like a cat's, we don't have that much control over our ears it's kind of amazing and honestly really cute"
'wait, cute??' thought amity, but before she vould say or do anything she saw Luz's hand get closer and felt it land on her ear and he brain immediatly shot down. Luz was just caressing her ear and as uncomfortable she was with that word I mean, there was no other way to call that?? Did she not realize how intimate this action could be? Probably not it was Luz no concept of personnal boundaries Noceda. Trying to get out of the hurricane of thoughts going on in her head, Amity turned her eyes slightly to look at Luz and that was a mistake.
Her face was relaxed but her eyes were wide and her lips parted in a similar expression that when Amity had told her about her past in sports. The only way she could describe this expression was intrigued but she knew this word was missing a layer of emotion. But boy if Amity wasn't a mess before she definilty was one now. Her thoughts a scrambeld tornado of 'what the eff? what the eff? what the eff?' mixed with 'how can she be so cute' and 'this feels so good but also way too much abort abort'
And as that was going on in her mind Luz decided to throw her yet another curveball and started running her hand in the witche's hair, slowly and soflty with the same expression as before.
She wanted nothing but to lean into it but she was scared that if she did, the human girl would stop or understand how much she was affecting her and how much she liked her and this could mean no more of this proximity and she couldn't bear that thought.
While amity kept panicking and wondering how much redder she could become 'thank god she's looking at my hair and not my face right now' Luz kept moving her hand through the witche's hair absent-mindedly. But when said hand started going down an scraping the spot just above her neck Amity tried her best to suppress the shiver and slight hum that she could feel coming and when she didn't, she finally snapped and in a short moment of complete gay panic, she stood up grabbed her things, barely managing to get out a :
"sorryIJustRememberedIHaveStuffToDoIGottaGoOkBye! "
If she hadn't rushed out so quikly she might've noticed that the human girl was still arbouring the same expression with just a bit more confusion and a slight blush on her face.
