Chapter Text
Enid was back.
Wednesday saw her when she arrived in the bedroom, putting her stuff in place next to her bed.
E: "Hi." Enid told, with some shyness in her voice
W: "you're back?"
E: "yeah, the room with Yoko was great, but I needed more boundaries, so I came back"
W: "why that chance of heart?"
E: "because we work, we shouldn't, but we do!"
Wednesday wasn't sure what she meant by saying this. What could be working?
W: "what works?"
Enid, seeing the confusion in her eyes, brought more details.
E: "come on! we are friends! That's why everything we do works. WE work, silly!" she told with a big grin on her face.
W: "we're more than friends, Enid."
Those word had slipped of her mouth before she could stop them. Why did she say that?
Enid lifted an eyebrow, what did that ravenylike girl mean by that. She never showed any feeling for anything or anyone at all, was it one of her tricks again?
She decided to make a little fun of her roommate when she started to realize she had spoken without thinking.
E: what do you mean "more than friends?" she told with a smirky smile
W: "I mean... We're partners! I mean... we are good together. I mean..."
The phrase lost her way in her mouth. Why the hell couldn't she find the right words?
Wednesday decided not to says anything more, knowing how awkward she sounded at that moment.
Enid came a few steps closer.
E: "don't tell me Wednesday Addams got a soft spot for me, has she?"
W: "Never!" She started to fell her cheeks getting hot, like when she was ill when she was a child. She only hoped she wasn't blushing either. "I just think we collaborate well. And I tolerate you more easily than the other. That's what I meant."
She looked shyly around the room, she couldn't watch Enid in the eyes.
E: "I can read you more than you think, you know ?"
W: what do you mean?
E: "I know how you blink when you start felling nervous" Wednesday never gave attention to that, how the hell could Enid see that ? was it even true ?
"how your eyebrows lift up" she continued "and your black eyes widen when someone says something about you, you thought you were hiding. Just like right know!" she said that last phrase with a little wink and a smile.
Wednesday didn't know what to say to that girl in front of her. She was clearly reading her like an open book.
Enid was tall, she was strong, she was impressive and she was getting closer and closer, small step at a time, with her smirky smile still on her face.
Wednesday felt her black heart starting to speed up. For the first time in her life, she was feeling small and vulnerable. She, who was the best at fencing and archery, who didn't fear the woods at night or any monsters in it, she couldn't move a single finger. She stood there, keeping her eyes in the deep blue of her roommate's.
Enid was only few inches from her now, and Wednesday could feel her warm breath on her face and smell her perfume in more details than ever.
E: "maybe your black heart isn't as black as you tell after all"
W: "what do you mean ?"
E: "I think you finally learned what it's like to have feelings, little tormenta."
Wednesday opened her mouth to respond to that arrogant girl but no word came out. How could she dare use that nickname for her?
She promised herself she would make her pay for that. Karma is gonna be a bitch, like Enid used to say.
Seeing the confusion in her genius mind, Enid continued.
E: "I know your black heart is not so black, and you know mine is obviously bright pink!"
W: "what in the world does that even mean?"
E: "it means that we are more alike than you think, Wednesday." She was raising her hands while saying this, placing them on the cheeks of that small girl that was looking at her with those confused puppy eyes, lifting her head slightly up.
W: "what do you think you're doing right now?" her voice was shaky, her hands were shaky. She tryed to talk with confidence, but it was not as persuasive as she had hoped. she felt like her knees were going to fall under her weight, she was so hot she felt like she was melting. She was confused and lost, she bearly heard what Enid replied.
E: "I'm thinking that I love that we're more than friends, Wednesday!" and without giving the time to answer, she put her lips against her roommate's.
Wednesday's mind totally froze at this time. She was keeping her eyes open, she didn't understand what was going on. It felt like the time had stopped. The sweet lips of her partner in crime were pushed against hers, it was unexpected, but it felt good, like nothing in her life had felt good before. She started to feel like her stomach had exploded, and a warm sensation warped her entire body. She wasn't nervous anymore, and while still being confused, she closed her eyes and kissed Enid back.
She felt the warm hands leaving her cheeks and going down under her arms and on her back, finally pulling her waist against that tall and strong girl who made her feel so peaceful. Without noticing it, she warped her own arms around Enid neck, keeping them close, she didn't want that kiss to end, how hard it was to admit it to herself and even more to Enid later.
There were definitely more than friends.
