Amity flashed that classic smile as she sat down at the lunch table. Luz felt her heart melt at her girlfriends cheerful mood and she found herself scootching closer to Amity.
Amity started picking at her lunch as Luz began telling a story about another crazy adventure she had gone on with Eda and King.
Luz was right at the end of the story when she glanced over at her girlfriend. Amity seemed to be elsewhere, Luz didn’t mind that much though. Amity is usually fully present, so if she had been spacing out it was probably for something important.
Luz trailed off when she saw the scratches on Amity’s arm. Some of them were longer than the others, some deeper than the others, some healed, some looked new.
“Amity..?” Luz whispered, placing a hand on her girlfriends shoulder. She didn’t want to draw too much attention to the purple haired witch, so when Amity zoned back in, she asked if the other girl would go to the bathroom with her.
“Uh,” Amity began, “Sure.”
Luz held onto her girlfriends hand tightly, dragging her in a direction suspiciously away from the bathroom.
“Luz,” Amity chuckled, “We’re not- The bathroom isnt this way.”
”I know,” Luz stopped walking. “I’m taking you to the healing center.”
Amity raised an eyebrow at that. “Why?”
”I saw all those scratches on your arm,” Luz quietly said. “You’ve gotta get them checked out.”
”No, Luz-“ Amity stumbled. “I’m fine.”
“If you’re as fine as you say you are,” Luz began, “Then you’ll let me take you to the healing center.”
Amity pursed her lips. “Okay.”
“You know Im doing this because I care,” Luz said after a couple moments of silence.
A beat passed, and then another. Finally, Amity replied, her voice soft. “I know.”
“It’ll be okay,” Luz squeezed Amity’s hand.
“It will be now that I have you…”
