Confessions

By DrDolittle

Wednesday Addams was not used to feelings, well unless they were feelings of inflicting pain on others, she was quite used to those ones, but the way her colourful roommate made her feel was entirely alien to her.
Enid Sinclair was so different to her in every way conceivable, where she liked bright colours, and cuddly toys and physical touch and rainbows, Wednesday preferred dark colours, mainly black and occasionally white and the only use she had for cuddly toys was putting them in a guillotine and beheading them (that was one of her favourite things to do as a child) and she despised physical touch, only begrudgingly accepting it from her family because she had no choice.

So as she sat at her typewriter trying to work on her novel, while she had peace and quiet in the dorm, she found her mind wandering to the strange feelings she had been having for the last few weeks, it was true that her and Enid had grown quite close in the last 6 months that they had been roommates, despite a slightly rocky start while they were getting to know one another.

Enid had grown to realise that Wednesday wasn’t really as scary as she made herself out to be, yes she was scary but once you got to know her a bit, she was a bit of a softie underneath it all. Enid realised this when she asked Wednesday if she wanted to watch a movie with her one night about a month into being roommates, and to her surprise Wednesday had said yes. Enid had chosen the original jurrasic park to watch as she thought it might be more tolerable to Wednesday than a romcom, which Enid would normally watch because they were her favourite, whereas Wednesday much preferred horror films.
Enid had gone down to the cafeteria to get some snacks for them to munch during the movie and when she arrived back into the dorm she found that Wednesday had arranged a mix of her black pillows and Enids colourful ones onto her bed and had put one of enids bright pink blankets on there as well as her laptop, enid stopped in her tracks when she saw this and smiled. “I wanted you to be comfortable and I refuse to sit on that monstrosity of colour that you call a bed” Wednesday informed her with a blank face. “thanks Wends” enid said with a bright smile and walked over to Wednesdays bed with the snacks and sat down and loaded the movie onto her laptop. “she’s lucky she gets to call me that” Wednesday said internally.
She sat back and leant onto her pillows with Wednesday next to her leaning on her black ones, the laptop resting on the bed in between them keeping them separate.
They watched the movie in silence, the only noise coming from the laptop and the crunching of eating the snacks the enid had gotten.
As the movie credits rolled, Wednesday turned to Enid, “that was quite tolerable, thank you. It’s my writing time now, id appreciate silence” and she moved from the bed and sat at her desk infront of her typewriter. Enid laughed softly, “you’re welcome, im glad you enjoyed It Wends, maybe we could make it a regular thing?”
“that sounds acceptable. Now I must concentrate on my novel” Wednesday said without looking up from her typewriter. Enid just nodded and smiled, “yeah, she really is a softie” enid thought but didn’t dare say it out loud.

Their movie night became a regular weekly fixture after that first time, every Wednesday night after dinner, they settled on Wednesday bed, Enid leaning on her colourful pillows with her pink blanket and Wednesday with her black ones that she had arranged while enid got snacks, their routine set in place now. They never watched romcoms or horror films both preferring something neutral.
As the weeks went on they got more comfortable around each other, sitting a little closer to one another, eventually they sat with there legs close enough together to have the laptop balance on them.
Wednesday found herself glancing over at enid every so often. Enid noticed but didn’t say anything not thinking much of it as she glanced over to Wednesday too.
Wednesday found herself stealing glances, more often not just during movie nights and found herself not minding so much when enid called her “wends or Willa” very rarely ever calling her by her name. Maybe she was starting to like enid. It was more than just tolerating her that was for sure.

Enid was sat on her bed, watching cat videos on youtube via her headphones while Wednesday was writing on her typewriter, she could faintly hear the clack of the keys, she had grown to enjoy the sound, it had become white noise to her over the last 6 months it even manged to lull her to sleep some nights when Wednesday couldn’t sleep or was inspired to write late into the night, enid had also come to enjoy watching Wednesday work at her typewriter, she was so focused on her novel, it was like the world around her didn’t exist, she found it cute when Wednesday would get a little wrinkle between her eyebrows when she was stuck on something, or when one of her dimples showed when she chewed her lip in concentration, it made her smile when she saw that and she found herself entranced everytime she watched Wednesday work.

Enid found herself trying to make Wednesday crack a smile just so she could see her dimples as she found that seeing them set of a little spark in her stomach. Wednesday didn’t smile very often though so enid settled with watching her type for a glance of the elusive dimples.
They had started sitting together at breakfast, lunch and dinner, which earned glances and whispers from other students, not that either of them paid anyone else much mind.
Enids best friend Yoko, had noticed that they roommates were getting closer and decided to quiz Enid on it when they next had a manicure session, which was planned for this Friday.
During movie night this week, something strange had happened, they were sat in their usual positions on Wednesday’s bed with the movie playing on enids laptop with the snacks around them. Enid was tired tonight, after a particularly intense fencing practice where she had faced Wednesday for the first time. She lost, quite badly but Wednesday had been gracious in victory, complimenting enid on her form, which surprised the other students around them as they had never heard Wednesday say anything nice to anybody. Wednesday had taken to being quite complimentary to enid over the last few weeks and had been engaging in conversation with her and even opening up to her about her family and how she grew up. Her life had been so different to enids, she could always see a sadness in enid when she spoke of her family or her childhood.
While they were watching their jointly chosen film of pirates of the Caribbean, enid couldn’t stop yawning, Wednesday glanced over everytime she saw enid yawn or rub her tired eyes, fencing had been intense but quite enjoyable not that she would say that aloud to anyone. About halfway through the film, enids eyes closed and her head drooped, landing on Wednesday shoulder, Wednesday glanced down and let herself smile a little, she left enid there not wanting to wake her obviously tired roommate. Feeling the weight of enid sleeping against her, Wednesday felt something settle in the pit of her stomach, the feeling increased when she heard enid snoring softly. Enid stayed sleeping on Wednesday shoulder until the end of the film when she jolted awake as the end music played. She jumped awake, blushing furiously when she realised that she had fallen asleep on Wednesday “im so sorry, Wednesday, I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you, I know you have your boundaries and that I massively just crossed them, im so sorry” she rambled the blush creeping down her neck. Wednesday just sat there watching enid getting more and more flustered, “shes cute when shes flustered” Wednesday thought and then it was her time to blush at her private thoughts, she stayed silent for a moment “where did that thought come from?” she questioned.
“don’t worry about it, you were obviously exhausted after being thoroughly thrashed at fencing” Wednesday said with what enid thought was a sparkle in her eyes. “she is really beautiful” enid thought.
“isn’t it your writing time?” enid said, breaking the tension that had built between the two of them. She was feeling very flustered, and decided that maybe she should go take a shower.
“yes it is, I shall go and continue with my novel, as ever silence…..”
“would be appreciated, I know”, enid finished for her, “im going to go have a shower” and at that they both left the bed, enid taking her pillows and blanket and throwing them onto her bed as she grabbed her shower things and towel and headed to the bathroom while Wednesday settled at her desk and loaded a new piece of paper into the machine.
Try as she might she couldn’t concentrate on her novel, her mind wandering back to the feelings in her stomach when enid was sleeping soundly on her shoulder. It wasn’t an unpleasant feeling, just a foreign one to her, although she wouldn’t mind feeling it again, it felt strangly natural to be that close to enid. They had been getting closer and she definitely felt some form of affection for the bright werewolf as strange as that is for her to admit.
She enjoyed spending time with her and enjoyed her company, there was only one other person at Nevermore that she could say that about and that was her fellow Hummer Eugene.
Enid had started calling her “bestie”, she had, had to ask Eugene what the word meant as she had never heard it before, he had explained that it meant “best friend” it was term of endearment and that it was a good thing and that enid cared about her. that was strange to Wednesday as she was only used to people being scared of her and actively avoiding her, whereas enid actively sort her out and wanted to spend time with her. That thought kicked off the feeling deep in her stomach again, she swallowed and shook her head in an attempt to focus on her novel, after another 10 minutes of not being able to focus, she gave up and returned to her bed to read a book.
Enid stayed in the shower for quite a long time, taking the time to think. Why did she let herself fall asleep? And not just asleep, but asleep on Wednesday’s shoulder. Wednesday who doesn’t do physical touch. Why had Wednesday let her? Why hadn’t she woken her and told her to move? Why did it feel so comfortable and natural to sleep curled against Wednesday? Why did she feel butterflies in her stomach when she woke up and saw Wednesday looking down at her?
Her head was swimming with questions.
Yes she and Wednesday were a lot closer than she had ever imagined they would be, and she definitely enjoyed being around her and wanted to be around her as she got to see the softer side of Wednesday that no one else got to see, the Wednesday that would listen when she talked about her family and how different she was to them and try to comfort her in her very Wednesday way when she got upset about how she was treated by them.
The Wednesday way of comforting was to offer to make a rug out of her parents wolf forms. But she was just being a friend right? She needed to talk to Yoko. She finished her shower, and headed back in the room, Wednesday was sitting on her bed reading a well thumbed book, “I thought it was your writing time? You alright?”
“Yes, I’m fine. I just couldn’t concentrate, that’s all” Wednesday replied, placing her book on her nightstand.
“hmm. Im going to bed, im exhausted, someone schooled me at fencing” enid said with a smirk.
She swore she saw a small smile break out onto Wednesday face. “night enid” she said as she got up from the bed, and headed to the bathroom.
“night, wends” she said as she remade her bed from the movie night and got in, she turned over so her back was towards Wednesday bed.
Wednesday exited the bathroom and saw enid facing toward the wall, she was not moving so Wednesday assumed she was sleeping so she quietly turned the lights out and got into bed. She layed facing enid with a small smile, that no would be able to see in the darkness, with only a little moonlight shiny in casting over enid.

The next morning, they headed down to breakfast together, Wednesday went to get her morning coffee, but she returned with 2 cups this morning. Coffee for her and a cup of tea sweeten with honey for enid.
Enid smiled as Wednesday handed her the cup, their fingers brushed each other, sending sparks to each of them, “thanks, wends”
Wednesday just nodded and sat down.
Throughout the day both of them stole glances at the other whenever they had a class together. They never sat next to one another in their joint classes.
Enid still had a head full of questions, even more joined in when at dinner Wednesday repeated her actions from this morning, getting coffee for herself and tea enid.
They didn’t speak much during the evening. Wednesday skipped her writing time again, choosing again to read her book in silence on her bed. Thing sat on the end of her bed, signing at her but she ignored him. He gave up after a while and scampered over to enids bed.
She smiled watching the hand climb onto her bright duvet, “hey thing”, “whats up with Wednesday?” he signed at her, “I don’t know” she replied
“want your nails painting?” she asked, the sentient hand signed excitedly “aren’t we having a manicure session with Yoko tomorrow?”
“I was hoping to have a chat with her in private, so I can do your nails now if that’s okay?” Wednesday looked up from her book at that comment, “why would enid want to talk to Yoko in private? Thing always went to manicure nights” she thought to herself. Not that a night to herself isn’t welcomed.
“tonight is good” Thing signed, enid smiled and reached under bed to grab her supplies, opening them on the bed for Thing to pick out which colours he wanted this time.
He chose rainbow, to match Enids. She got to work. Pressing play on her phone, music played softly at a low volume as she worked on Things nails.
Wednesday watched Enid and Thing, a small smile on her lips at how accepting Enid had been of the sentient hand and how close they had become. There was that feeling in her stomach again. She had it earlier both times when her fingers brushed Enids when she gave her the tea she had made her.
Maybe she was getting sick. She will see how she is feeling in a few days and then she might have to put in a call to Grandmama, she would have the answers or at least maybe a potion to stop the feelings in her stomach.
She watched enid and Thing interact. She rolled her eyes at Thing parading around showing his nails off after Enid had finished. She smiled at Enid enjoying herself. She found herself smiling more and more when she saw or thought of enid and she had noticed Enid looking at her and smiling. How strange she thought but then again she had never had a best friend before, so maybe this was normal.
She got herself ready for bed, getting changed in her closet. It was warm this evening so she only wore a pair of black boxers and a black sports bra to bed. She walked out and got into her bed. “night Enid”
Enid looked over, she smiled as their eyes met, “night, wends”

The next morning at breakfast Wednesday was already sat at the table they normally occupied when enid walked into the quad, with two cups in front of her. Enid got her breakfast and sat next to Wednesday who passed her, the sweet tea she had made her. “thanks, wends” she smiled. She gently brushed her fingers against Wednesdays hand and noticed that Wednesday swallowed at the touch the feeling in her stomach starting up again, Enid felt the sparks again.
They headed to class after breakfast, they had shared classes all day today. And both of them spent the day stealing glances at each other, occasionally their eyes meeting. Enid smiled at Wednesday everytime their eyes met.
After classes they met back in their dorm. Enid was gathering her nail supplies. “are you off somewhere?” Wednesday asked.
“manicure night with Yoko”
“ah, is Thing not joining you?” she asked, already knowing the answer.
“not tonight, I want to have a private chat with Yoko and we both know how he loves to gossip” Enid laughed.
“she’s beautiful when she laughs, her eyes sparkle” Wednesday thought. She just nodded her head and walked to her typewriter and sat down.
“don’t wait up, wends” Enid called as she headed out the door.
The room was silent without the werewolf in it, and even though Wednesday relished silence, this was different. It felt wrong. She shook her head and set her typewriter up. Thing climbed up onto the desk, and perched next to the machine.
“you alright?” he signed.
“yes” she replied. “do you know what Enid wants to talk to Yoko about?”
“no” he signed. She watched him, he was twitching slightly.
“you sure about that?”
“yes” he signed.
Enid had mentioned that she wanted to talk to Yoko about something private that she was struggling to understand, this morning when she woke to find Wednesday not in their room and thing sat on her bed, when he asked if she was alright.
Wednesday started to type.
Down the hall in Yoko’s room, the two girls were sitting crossed legged on Yoko’s bed. The rainbow colour bottles sat ready for enid’s manicure while the blood red one was ready for Yoko’s.

“So what’s up E? you’ve been a bit distracted lately” Yoko said as she worked to remove the chipped nail varnish off enids nails.
“im fine, things have been a bit weird with Wednesday lately but im okay”
“yes, I had noticed she wasn’t been quite as threatening, towards you at least.” Yoko glanced up at enid’s face. She blushed a little.
“yeah, shes being oddly nice, she brings me tea every morning at breakfast and she lets me talk about my family and then threatens to make rugs from their wolf forms if I get upset” enid smiled thinking about it.
Yoko noticed the smile. “that’s interesting, ive no doubt she would do it, if you said yes”
“me either. Whats interesting?” enid asked.
“that shes nice to you. She terrifies every one else”
“she not that scary, really. Once you get to know her shes a bit of a softie really” enid smiled again.
“I bet she’d make a rug out of you, if she heard you say that about her” Yoko said with a smirk.

“definitely. Its true, even if she will never admit it” enid replied.
“why do you think shes being nice to you? Bringing you tea? Does she do anything else?” Yoko asked
“because im her friend and roommate, no other reason. What other reasons could there be?”
Yoko just looked at Enid and raised her eyebrow.
“what’s that look for?” enid asked.
Yoko didn’t speak, just stayed with the same look.
“YOKO, What’s the look for?”
“why do you think shes being nice to you? Bringing you tea?”
“I told you, im her friend and roommate. She’s trying to be nice.”
“hmmm” was all that came from Yoko.
“Can I tell you something, without judgement?” enid asked.
“of Course”
“we have a movie night, every Wednesday night, and she puts my pillows and a blanket on her bed and I get snacks and we watch a movie together. She refuses to sit on my colourful bed” enid smiled wide as she spoke about it.
Yoko’s eyes went wide. “that sounds cosy. Is that why you are never free on Wednesday nights?”
Enid looked down, suddenly shy, “yeah. I fell asleep on her shoulder this week, after fencing, I was exhausted. She kicked my ass in fencing. Shes an amazing fencer”
“and she didn’t kill you?” Yoko asked shocked.
“no, she made a joke about thrashing me at fencing”
“Wednesday Addams, Queen of the damned, made a joke? And let you sleep on her shoulder?” Yoko asked, her jaw wide open in shock.
“pick your jaw up. Yes, she made a joke, and she smiled, she does that, around me, at least. She has the cutest dimples and a cute little wrinkle between her eyebrows when she writing” enid confessed, while looking down.
Yoko lifted her chin, “its okay to like her you know”
“of course I like her, shes my friend and roommate”
“is that the only way you like her?” Yoko asked, with a knowing look.
“of course. What other way would I like her?” enid snapped defensively, the butterflies started up in her stomach with all the talk of Wednesday.
“enid, why did you break up with Ajax?” Yoko asked gently.
“You know why, Yoko.”
“I want you to say it, Enid. Because I think there might be more than you think between you and Wednesday.”
“we are friends, Yoko. I don’t even know what her sexuality is. As far as I can work out, Wednesday has no interest in relationships. Not that it matters to me. And I broke up with Ajax because I realised I wasn’t attracted to him” the voice in the back of enids mind was begging her to open her eyes and admit what she knows is true.
“why are you being defensive, enid? Im only asking because I have eyes and I can see that she cares about out and you care about her”
“yes, we care about each other as friends and roommates.” Enid said.
“so why do I see you staring at wednesday in class? Why do I see her staring at you?” Yoko asked.
“I cant answer for Wednesday” enid responded.
“okay, answer me this, does she do anything that makes you smile? Do you touch at all? How did it feel when you were sleeping on her?” Yoko asked.
Enid thought for a few moments before answering. “yeah I mean, she lets me call her by nicknames, that makes me smile. When she brings me tea in the mornings. We sometimes brush hands, and brush legs when we watch movies together. She arranges the bed, that’s nice. It was nice sleeping on her, it felt natural, it was nice waking up and seeing her looking down at me.” Edin admitted smiling shyly.
“and that’s okay. Did you touch Ajax? Sleep on him? Did it feel natural with him?”
“yeah I touched Ajax, in more ways that ive touched Wednesday. Yes I slept on Ajax.”
“okay and did it feel the same? Touching Wednesday and Ajax? Sleeping on Wednesday and Ajax?” Yoko asked.
“No.” enid admitted.
“right, im going to give you a break for a bit, but we are not done with this conversation. I want you to do my nails now, yours are done” Yoko said pointing down and enids nails. Enid got started on Yoko’s nails.
Back in enids and Wednesdays dorm:
Wednesday was out on the balcony playing her cello, Thing was on her music stand flipping the pages of her sheet music. She always played when her mind was particularly noisy. And right now, she couldn’t stop thinking about Enid.
Whenever she though about the colourful wolf, she would get a funny feeling in her stomach. She felt sparks anytime they touched, which had been happening a lot. She liked the feeling, she just didn’t understand it. She’d never felt it before.
She would lay awake at night and watch enid sleep. She looked forward to waking up and seeing the blond.
She looked forward to getting enid her tea in the morning just so she would see her beautiful smile. She constantly caught herself watching the wolf when they were in class together. She would crack the smallest smile when her eyes caught the sparkling blue ones, a smile that she was sure only enid could see. She liked teasing the wolf and she even likeed It when the wolf teased her. She liked it when enid called her nicknames. She would do anything to protect the blond werewolf.
She didn’t understand any of this. She needed help. Maybe Thing could help. She put her cello down and took a deep breath.
“are you alright?” Thing signed.
“im not sure. I think I might be getting ill.”
“why? Whats wrong?”
“I cant seem to think of anything but a certain werewolf.”
“Enid?” thing signed
Wednesday nodded
“you like her.” Thing signed.
“well yes, I consider her as a friend and she is my roommate. It would be difficult not to like enid.”
“I like her too, but I think you might like her in a different way.”
“What do you mean?” Wednesday asked.
“romantic like” Thing signed.
“don’t be stupid”
“will you please talk to Grandmama about this? She might have some answers.” Thing signed, making a good point.
“you might be on to something there, she should be able to identify this illness. Ill call her next weekend when she is back from her trip visiting members of her coven.”
Wednesday collected her cello and went back inside. “clueless” Thing signed to no-one.

Back in Yoko’s room.
Enid had finished doing Yoko’s nails. They were silent while she was doing the vampire nails, but they were back to chatting now, while they laid with their feet up on the wall with their heads hanging off the bed.
Yoko did have a point. Enid just wasn’t sure what she was feeling, or what Wednesday was feeling.
“Yoko, can we talk again in a week? I need time to think.”
“anything you for you, wolfie.”
Enid collected her things and left Yoko’s after hugging the vampire goodbye. It was late, so she tried to be quiet as she entered her dorm room. The room was dark, and Wednesday was in her bed, in her normal corpse position, enid thought she saw the moonlight catch on something, she crept closer to Wednesday’s bed, and a wide smile stretched across her face, Wednesday had one of enids small plushies in her arms. Wednesdays eyes suddenly opened making enid squeal in shock.
“why are you watching me sleep, Enid?”
“you are not sleeping, so im not.” Enid replied. Wednesday rolled her eyes.
“did you have a nice evening? Your nails look nice.” Wednesday said sitting up.
“thank you, im surprised you noticed.” Enid said blushing, thankful that the room was only bathed in moonlight.
“and yeah it was an ok evening, thanks for asking”
“did you get to talk to Yoko about whatever it was that was private, Thing was most put out, it was quite funny.”
“sort of” enid said half heartedly, “im tired so im going to wash up and go to bed, night wends.” She said as she headed for her closet and then went into the bathroom.
“night, Enid” Wednesday said, slightly disappointed that the blonde was going to go to bed without staying to chat, although she was secretly glad that enid didn’t mention the plushie in her arms. She couldn’t help herself earlier, she found herself missing her roommates presence in the room, so the next best thing she could thing to so was to get one of her plushies, she was a little embarrassed that enid had seen her cuddling with it.
Enid came out of the bathroom in her pink pajamas, and got into her bed. She fell asleep quickly, Wednesday didn’t, there would be no sleep for her tonight.
Wednesday finally fell asleep around 6am, not that she needed a lot of sleep.
Enid had received a message from Yoko around 8am asking her to meet for breakfast at 9 so she got up and crept to her closet to get ready, being careful not to wake her sleeping roommate. She got ready and crept from the room, glancing back at the sleeping form of Wednesday as she left, a small smile on her face as she made her way to breakfast with Yoko. She met her friend at the same table that her and Wednesday normally occupy. They ate breakfast and made idle conversation about their plans for day as it was Saturday so no classes for the next two days. They made plans to meet up around 1pm to get the shuttle into Jericho for a little shopping trip. Wednesday woke around 9;15 and noticed that Enid wasn’t in the room, she felt a pang of sadness at the empty room. “thing?” the hand waved from Enids bed, pausing from flipping through a magazine. “where’s Enid?” “she went to breakfast with Yoko” Thing signed. Wednesday set her face, she wasn’t a fan of the vampire, although she knew that she meant a lot to enid and that they had been friends for quite a while.
Wednesday got up and ready for the day and then headed down to see if Enid was still in the quad, which she was, she was sitting chatting with Yoko in hers and enids usual spot.
Wednesday went into the cafeteria and got her normal coffee and a cup of sweet tea for enid then headed to the table. Enid shuffled along the bench when she saw Wednesday approaching. “morning Wends” she smiled, Wednesday just nodded and passed her, her tea as she sat down, their fingers brushed against each others as Enid took the tea and both of them felt the sparks, enid blushed a little, and Wednesday swallowed, Yoko noticed both small reactions.
“thanks, willa” Enid smiled at Wednesday again and again she just received a nod in return. Yoko was watching the interaction.
“willa?” Yoko asked, addressing the goth
Wednesday glared at the vampire, “excuse you? Call me that again, you will be needing to drink your next blood bag through a straw.”
Enid just watched the interaction with a small smile on her face. Wednesday finished her coffee and looked at enid, “im going back upstairs, that’s where ill be if you need me.” Her thigh brushed against enids as she got up from the bench, the sparks flew again.
“ok, wends. Ill be up in a bit.” Wednesday looked back and nodded before she stormed off, glaring at Yoko as she went. Yoko just smirked at enid as she finished her morning blood bag and enid finished her tea.
Enid went back up to the dorm after agreeing to meet up with Yoko again at 12:50 to get the 1pm shuttle into Jericho.
Wednesday was at her desk, trying to write when enid walked in. Thing waved from Wednesday’s desk, “hi Thing”
She sat on her bed, and chewed on her lip, “im sorry about Yoko, she’s a wind up merchant”
“The vampire doesn’t bother me, although if she keeps on I do know where to get large quantities of garlic” Wednesday said as slowly moved her hands across the keys. Enid snorted a laugh.
“im still sorry, I shouldn’t have used a nickname in front of her”
“I do not mind you using the nicknames, in front of anyone. I however will not tolerate anyone else using them.” Wednesday stated, in a slightly softer tone.
Enid blushed a little, feeling a little warmth bloom in her chest.
“hey, we are heading into Jericho this afternoon, do you want to come?” enid asked already knowing the answer.
“who is we?”
“well, me, Yoko, Ajax and Bianca.” Enid heard Wednesday exhale at the mention of the Gorgons name.
“I shall pass, thank you. I am not a fan of most of the company, the gorgon especially. I also need to work on my novel, as I have not kept up with my schedule this week.”
“Ajax isn’t that bad” enid said, she had picked up the venom in Wednesday tone when speaking of the gorgon.
“im sure, if you are dating him” Wednesday never looked up from her type writer.
Was Wednesday jealous? Enid hadn’t told her that she had broken up with him yet. She was trying to understand what her feelings were especially after her chat with Yoko.
Lunchtime rolled around, and she got ready to head into Jericho with her friends, as she turned to grab her phone she noticed that the small plushie that Wednesday was cuddling the other night was now propped up against her colourful pillows, she smiled at the memory, Wednesday looked so cute cuddled with the small toy.
“im off, ill see you later, wends” she called as she headed to the door. Wednesday didn’t respond, just watched her go.
After a few hrs of shopping, in which enid didn’t buy much, she didn’t have a lot of spare cash. She did however get 2 new bottles of nail polish that she was excited to show Thing.
Yoko dragged her to a florist as she wanted to get Divina some flowers as she had asked her on a date, which was later tonight. In the florist Enid saw some rainbow roses and gasped as she saw them, she pointed them out to Yoko who smiled at her. After Yoko got Divina’s flowers they headed off to the weathervane, for a quick drink before they caught the shuttle back to Nevermore.
In the café, Enid order herself a chocolate milkshake and a quad over ice to go for Wednesday. They sat in a booth waiting for the shuttle.
“Those rainbow roses were so cool” enid said while sipping her shake.
“yeah they were something, maybe soon you will have someone who will buy you some” Yoko winked at her.
Enid just scoffed, “yeah right.”
“yeah, you’re right, Addams would more than likely give you dead flowers.” Yoko smirked at her.
Enid rolled her eyes, “shes nicer than you think.”
“to you”
“well I don’t antagonise her.” Enid said raising her eyebrows at the vampire.
“no, because you love her”, she said in a sing songy voice.
Enid held up her claws at Yoko. “Keep going” she said in a mock threat.
A minute or so later, the boys and Bianca entered the café and Yoko and Enid got up from their booth as they saw the shuttle pull up outside. Yoko grabbed her flowers and enid grabbed the quad as they all loaded back into the shuttle and headed back to the school.
They disembarked the bus, infront of the doors to Ophelia hall, Yoko and enid said their goodbyes to the boys and bianca and headed upstairs, as they got to Yoko’s landing enid hugged her goodbye, “have fun on your date, hope it goes well.” “hope Addams doesn’t disembowel you, in your sleep.” The vampire shot back. The wolf just rolled her eyes and headed to her dormroom.
Wednesday was still at her desk, a few typed pages sat next to the type writer. Enid put the quad over ice carefully down, making sure to avoid the new work. Wednesday looked up, “thank you”, enid saw the faintest hint of a smile. She smiled wide, “you’re welcome”

“Hey Thing?”
The hand scuttled out from under Wednesday bed. “check out these new nail polishes I got in town.” Enid said as she sat on her bed and crossed her knees. Thing climbed up and crawled over to enid, he took the new silver and gold nail polishes in between his fingers then proceeded to put them now and move into showing a thumbs up.
“fancy trying them out? You could use a touch up.”
Again the thumbs up.
Wednesday rolled her eyes at the two of the two of them as she finished her quad.
She was meant to be meeting Eugene, to harvest some honey. So she started getting ready. “im going to meet Eugene, ill be back later. Maybe we could eat dinner together?”
“id love to have dinner with you, wends”
“ill see you later then” Wednesday nodded and turned on her heel and left.
Enid Smiled. “thing, do you know where a pen and paper are? Im sure Wednesday wouldn’t appreciate a note written in glitter pens.” Thing pointed at Wednesday desk. “thanks buddy”
Enid spent most of the time Wednesday was gone painting Things nails alternating his nails between glittery gold and silver.
After she finished she grabbed a pen and piece of paper from Wednesday’s desk quickly writing a note and folding the paper in half then walking back to her bed and getting the small plush Wednesday had placed there this morning, and then walked over to Wednesdays bed and propped it against Wednesday’s black pillows with the note leaning against it.
She then went and relaxed on her bed and watched videos on youtube while Thing flipped through a magazine on the end of the bed. Wednesday arrived back about 10 minutes later all sweaty from her work with Eugene and the bees. She went straight into her closet and grabbed her shower things and some fresh clothes and headed into the bathroom.
20 minutes later Wednesday came out of the bathroom freshly showered and dressed in her black oversized hoody and black skinny jeans, moving quietly without her big heavy boots. She hung up her towel in her closet and set her shower things down before heading two her bed. Enid watched her bend down and pick up the note along with the small black cat plushie. Enid smiled while she read the note. “You looked so cute cuddled up with this little guy the other night, that I think he belongs to you now. Yours, always. E x.
Wednesday swallowed audibly, feeling embarrassed that Enid had seen her cuddling with the toy, but at the same time her heart swelled at the act from the blond wolf. She smiled, dimples and all.
By now it was 6;30 pm and Enid’s stomach was growling, so Wednesday turned to her, “shall we head down for dinner?”
Enid put her phone down, “yep, ready when you are.” “let’s go then”.

They headed downstairs for dinner and sat in the quad quite late into the evening, Wednesday was telling her about the bees, and Enid was happy to listen.
It was late when they got back into their room, both of them choosing to get ready for bed, Wednesday read her book and Enid played on her phone, after a while Wednesday said goodnight, a little while later Enid looked over and saw Wednesday cuddling with the little black cat plush. Enid fell asleep with a big smile on her face.
The next morning, Wednesday got up and made her bed, placing the small plush gently against her pillows. Enid was still sleeping. Thing appeared as she was heading to the bathroom, he tapped to get her attention, she turned and glared at him, “what?” “You are soft for Enid. Have you spoken to grandmama yet?” he signed. She glared harder at him. “No I am not, and she is not back yet, as you well know.” She ignored his tapping and carried on to the bathroom.
She went downstairs and got coffee for herself and some breakfast for Enid and her tea and then headed back upstairs. Enid was just stirring as she walked back into the room. She placed the to go box and the tea on Enid’s night stand, Enid yawned loudly and stretched making her top ride up a little, Wednesday noticed and blushed a little. She settled on her bed with her coffee.
Enid sat up and grabbed the food and tea, “aww wends, you got me breakfast? That’s so sweet”.
Wednesday just nodded and blushed again. Enid saw it this time. She hid her smirk behind her cup of sweet tea.
“what are you plans for the day? Wednesday asked. “I’m going to see Yoko. She had a date with Divina last night. I want to see how it went. You?”
“Working on my novel” Enid just smiled.
Once Enid was up and dressed she went to visit Yoko, she knocked on the door and heard a “come in.” Enid entered the room and squeaked, in bed were Yoko and Divina. “I see the date went well” Divina was blushing furiously and Yoko had a shit eating grin on her face. “oh yeah!” Yoko laughed, and Enid couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped her as Divina sunk beneath the duvet.
“and how’s things going in your dorm room?” Yoko asked. Enid gave her a pointed stare, and turned to walk out of the room, baring her claws and fangs as she went. “talk on Friday?” Yoko shouted after her, then breaking into hysterical laughter.
Enid walked back to her room, she walked into the room and saw Wednesday working on her novel. She grabbed her phone and then got her shower things and headed for a shower, pressing play on a playlist before getting into the shower.
The rest of the day was quiet. She and Wednesday spent the day hanging out in there room and had an impromptu moving nights. The next few days carried on the same way.
By the time their movie night came round on Wednesday night, enid was itching to talk to Yoko again.
As per usual, Enid went for snacks, and Wednesday set up her bed, and got the laptop ready. She gently placed her cat plush next to her type writer so he wouldn’t get sat on.
Enid came back and settled onto the bed with Wednesday, they were sitting so close to one another that there was no gap between them. They watched the adjustment bureau, halfway through the film enid forgot herself a bit as she started to gentle run her hand along Wednesday’s thigh that was resting against hers. She carried on for about 10 minutes, before she snapped out of her trance and pulled her hand away. Wednesdays eyes were wide, and enid was blushing furiously. “im so so sorry, Wednesday. I was so relaxed that I forgot myself. Im sorry.” Enid was rambling and waving her hands around.
“Enid, its okay. I don’t mind” Wednesday said calmy. Even though it felt like bats were in her stomach not butterflies.
“you what?” enid said in shock.
“I said I don’t mind. In fact I liked feeling your hand on me. You’re warm” Wednesday surprised herself with her words.
Enid looked like like she was about to pass out with shock.
“would you like to watch the rest of the movie?” Wednesday asked.
Enid couldn’t speak so she just nodded. Wednesday leaned forward and rewound the movie, and pressed play.
She leaned back, and gave enid a faint smile. Enid smiled back weakly. She was still in shock, she couldn’t believe what she had done. She was almost panting and shaking in shock, her body betraying her in its reactions to her touch on Wednesday.
Neither of them spoke of what happened. And things went back to the way they had been for the past few weeks.
On Friday, enid had her manicure date with Yoko. And Wednesday had decided that she was going to give her grandmother a call to discuss how she had been feeling as she was the only member of of Addams family she was comfortable discussing something like this.
Yoko’s room:
Yoko and Enid were sat on Yoko’s bed, “so, how are things with you and Divina going?” enid asked.
“pretty great, I like her a lot, but we didn’t plan this mani date to talk about my love life.” Yoko said looking at Enid critically. She looked a bit stressed.
“what’s happened, wolfie?”
“I think you are right. Well on my part at least. I cant speak for Wednesday.”
“explain. Why the change? You were adamant I was wrong.”
“I like Wednesday. Like really like. I like spending time with her. I want to spend all my time with her. She’s not the same way with me as she is with everyone else. She’s soft and sweet and caring. The night we last had a mani night, I found her in bed cuddling with one of my plushies, a little black cat, I decided to give it to her, with a note. She put the note in her bedside drawer after reading it and has slept with the little plush everynight since. She’s so cute. I catch her looking at me and she blushes when shes been caught. She brings me tea every morning, and she even brought me breakfast in bed last Sunday. Shes so cute, and shes beautiful. I accidentally started touching her leg on movie night the other night, and I thought she was going to kill me but she didn’t instead she said she liked me touching her and that I was warm, I couldn’t speak. I felt like was going to explode. She makes me feel like that everytime I catcher her looking at me or every time we touch.
You know I left Ajax because I wasn’t attracted to him but It wasn’t just him. I left him because I think Im gay, and I know I want to be with Wednesday.”
Yoko couldn’t stop smiling at her wolfie friend. “its about time. I was going to lock you both in room together if you didn’t work it out soon.”
“I don’t know how Wednesday feels, its going to be so hard to be her roommate if she doesn’t feel the same”
“you can room with me if that does happen. But Im, pretty sure she feels the same way about you” Yoko tried to reassure her friend.
“how do you know?” Enid asked nervously.
“are you kidding me? Ive seen the way she looks at you. Its like you make the world a darker place and to her that’s the best thing you could ever do.” Yoko smiled at her. “you need to talk to her, and if shes agreeable, ask her on a date.”
Enid chewed her lip anxiously. She nodded slowly, “yeah, I just hope you are right.” “trust your uncle Yoko, young wolf.” Enid laughed at that.
That was it for their talk and they got on with their planned manicures.
Back in their dorm room.
Wednesday sat at her desk with her crystal ball in front of of her, she took a deep breath, she needed answers so she had to do this. She uncovered the crystal ball and waved her hand in front of it, it started trilling, after a few seconds, Gomez appeared in it, “hello my little tormenta, what a nice surprise”
“hello, father. Is Grandmama there? I need to talk to her.”
“yes, my little storm cloud, she arrived home a few hours ago. Let me get her for you.”
“thank you, father. Id like to talk to her in private.”
“is everything okay, storm cloud?” Gomez asked concerned.
“everything is fine, father.”
Gomez disappeared for a few minutes, the next person she saw in the crystal ball was her grandmother.
“hello my dear, I hear you are in need of my help.” The old witch said with a smirk. Grandmama had, always had a knack for knowing things about people before the people concerned ever cottoned on.
“yes, grandmother, for the last few weeks maybe up to the last 6, I have been feeling strange.”
“strange how?” the old witch asked.
“well ive been feeling strange around my roommate Enid. I find that she occupies my thoughts most of the time and when she looks at me, It started feeling like I had butterflies in my stomach but they seem to have changed to bats. I enjoy her company above all others and I find myself even enjoying her touch. i find myself being willing to do anything to protect her and to make her happy and see her smile. I am sure you can understand my concerns. I feel like I may have been getting sick or maybe I have been possessed? Can you help?”
The old witch chuckled. Of course her granddaughter would be oblivious to the signs of love considering how she had vowed never to fall victim to the Addams family curse.
“my dear, I am afraid to tell you, you have been cursed.”
“I knew it. Do you know how to lift this curse.?” Wednesday sighed. A little disappointed to hear this from the old witch.
“im afraid I do not. I have known others to be afflicted by this curse and I am afraid it is for life. You know of them too.”
Wednesday looked confused. The old witch chuckled.
“the only curse I know of, is the Addams family curse.” Realization dawned on Wednesday.
“no, I cant have fallen victim to the Addams family curse.” Wednesday panted.
“and why not, my dear? Is this Enid not a good match for you? Have I not heard you speak fondly of her before?.”
“well yes, I am very fond of Enid, but what if she does not feel the same. What happens with the curse then?.” Wednesday looked panicked.
“Wednesday, my love. I can promise you that, that is not something you have to worry about. Werewolves mate for life do they not? You need only worry yourself about how to profess your love. It must be, befitting of an Addams in love. Do not fear my dear. Everything will be okay and I promise that this conversation will stay between us.”
Wednesday nodded, she knew that her grandmother was right, she always was. She’d never known her grandmama to be wrong.
“thank you, grandmama. I will think of the perfect date to take Enid on, and how to profess my love.” Wednesdays nose wrinkled at the words coming from her mouth.
“I am sure that whatever you plan to do it will be perfect. Ill talk to you soon, my love. Don’t hesitate to call me if ever you need me.
Googbye for now, Wednesday.”
“bye Grandmama. Make sure to remind Pugsley that I am everyones favourite.”
Wednesday waved her hand infront of the crystal ball, shutting it down.
Wednesday sat thinking about what her grandmother had told her. Of course she would be caught by the Addams curse no matter how much she tried to fight against it. And there is no one she could think of who she would rather be tied to than Enid.
But now she had to think of the perfect date. Well that is if Enid accepted her proposal of a date. She made her mind up to ask her when she arrived back from her evening with Yoko.
Enid arrived back a few hours later.
Wednesday was sat at her desk, she looked to be deep in thought.
“you alright, Wends?” she asked cheerfully.
“yes, im fine. Thank you.” Wednesday replied, she got up from her desk chair, and came to stand next to enid who happened to be standing next Wednesday’s bed. She sat and offered her hand to Enid. “will you sit with me for a minute? Please?”
Enid gingerly took wedneday’s offered hand, and say down next to her.
“did you have a nice evening with Yoko?”
“you don’t need to ask, Wends. I know you are not her biggest fan.” Enid was nervous. So was Wednesday, she was just better at keeping it hidden.
“she is important to you, so of course I will ask”
“aww, you are so sweet” Wednesday scrunched her nose up at that, that made Enid laugh.
“I talked to my grandmother while you were gone, she made me realise something. And I have something to ask you.”
Enid was really nervous now. Wednesday took a deep breath.
“enid, as you know, I am not very good with emotions. You will probably have also heard me talk of a curse that effects my family. Well according to my grandmother, who is annoyingly never wrong about these things, I have been affected by my families curse. It has caused me to have very strong feelings for you. And if you are agreeable, I would like nothing more than to take you on a date tomorrow night.” Wednesday stopped talking.
Enid broke into a massive smile, that truly reached her eyes, and to Wednesday she had never looked so beautiful. She chuckled and Wednesday looked slightly hurt.
Enid was quick to notice. “oh Wednesday no, im not laughing because you asked me on a date. Im laughing because I was going to ask you out on a date when I got back here tonight.”
Wednesday smiled, dimples and all. Enid reached up and caressed her cheek, “id love nothing more than to go on a date with you tomorrow night, Wednesday.”
“good. I will let you know when and wear. Im going to go to bed now, enid. Goodnight.”
“night, Wends. I cant wait for our date.”
Enid went to bed that night, with the biggest smile she could smile.
The next morning, when Enid woke up, Wednesday was gone but there was a note left on her bedside table next to a cup of sweet tea. “enid, please do not worry about my absence this morning. For I am arranging our date as I wish it to be perfect.
I will see you later.
W.A.”
Enid smiled, of course Wednesday wanted their date to be perfect.
She had gone into Jericho early that morning to get supplies for the evening. It was meant to a clear warm night with a nearly full moom so she had planned to take Enid on a candle lit picnic under the stars. But for that, she needed supplies. She found what she needed in Jericho though it did take her going to multiple shops, and she hated shopping but for enid she would do it. She got her supplies which included, battery operated remote control candles, a picnic blanket, a picnic basket with some food and a small bottle of champagne because what was a little underage drinking on a special occasion like this and a bouquet of flowers, rainbow roses to be specific.
She made her way back to Nevermore and headed straight upstairs to their dorm to hide her supplies. She made it and called out to see if enid was there, she didn’t get a reply so she assumed not and entered. To her relief the room was empty, so she quickly placed her supplies in her closet, as she came out, Enid came out of the bathroom.
She smiled when she saw Wednesday. “I was worried this morning, until I got your note”
“I am sorry I made you worry. I wanted to make sure I had everything ready for tonight. Which I do now. What are your plans for the day?”
“im just on my way out to see Yoko”
“okay, have fun, be sure to be back here by 7pm tonight. That’s when our date starts.” Wednesday smiled.
“okay. I cant wait. Is there a dresscode?”
“no”
Enid smiled, she went to leave but doubled back, she lent down and placed a soft kiss to Wednesday’s cheek. The raven went red Immediately, Enid smirked and then left the room.
She practically ran to Yoko’s room and burst in.
“you will never guess what”
“what?” the vampire laughed.
“Wednesday said she likes me and she’s taking me om a date in a few hours” Enid said so fast Yoko thought she might pass out from lack of breathe.
“that’s awesome, wolfie. But you need to calm down or you wont be in any fit state to go anywhere.”
Enid took some deep breaths, “im sorry, I’m just so excited. I like her so much. She’s been out this morning buying supplies for our date. It’s a complete surprise. I literally cant wait”
“you don’t need to wait that long, its nearly 5pm now, what time is this wonder date?” Yoko asked.
“oh em gee, its nearly 5? Ive only got 2 hours to get ready.”
“calm down, you are not going anywhere until you have calmed down” Yoko made her sit down and so some breathing exercises. She let her head back to the dorm around 5;30pm.
When Enid got back into the dorm Wednesday was gone again. Thing signed at her “she’s gone to set everything up, told me to tell you to get ready and she will be back to get you soon.”
“thank you, Thing”
Enid headed to her closet to find something to wear. She decided on her dark red skinny jeans and a tight black top. She paired those with her red doc martin boots. She opted to forgo a jacket. She went with light makeup and had her hair down.
“How do I look, Thing?”
“You look lovely” the hand signed and gave her a thumbs up.
At 6:45 Wednesday arrived back in the dorm, she had on her signature black boots, black jeans and a black vest with her leather jacket. The only thing that was different was her hair was down and loose. She had in her hand a single rainbow rose.
“You look beautiful.” She said as she handed the rose to Enid, who took it with a blush. “Thank you, so do you.”
“Are you ready to go?” Wednesday asked.
“absolutely” Enid smiled.
Wednesday took Enid’s hand and led them out of room and out of Ophelia Hall. They crossed the courtyard and headed toward the forest, it took they 5 minutes to walk to a clearing where as they got closer, Wednesday took a remote from her pocket and suddenly 10 small candles started flickering, they were dotted around a picnic blanket and on that sat a picnic basket and a large bouquet of the rainbow roses.
Enid gasped. Wednesday had done all this for her.
Wednesday led her to sit down on the blanket and knelt down and handed her the bouquet “these are for you” she smiled and out came the dimples, Enid melted.
“Wednesday, this is incredible, thank you.” “don’t thank me yet.”
She sat down next to Enid and opened the picnic basket and laid out all of Enid’s favourite foods, and then brought out 2 champagne glasses and one small bottle, she smirked at Enid’s face and opened the bottle pouring two glasses, and handed one to Enid and toasted her, “to us.”
Enid looked down shyly, “what’s wrong?” Wednesday asked concerned she’d done something wrong.
Enid looked up with tears in her eyes. “This is the most incredible thing anyone has ever done for me, Wednesday.”
“No less than you deserve, Cara Mia.”
Enid blushed at the nickname even though she didn’t understand it. “I really want to kiss you right now, can i?” she asked shyly.
“yes” was Wednesday’s response.
Enid leaned forward, Wednesday met her and their lips met in a gentle kiss. Fireworks went off for both of them.
They pulled away and rested their foreheads together.
“Wow. That was even better than I imagined it would be” Enid laughed.
“I never want to do anything else” said Wednesday as she leaned forward and connected their lips again.
“I love you” Enid let slip as she pulled away.
Wednesday smiled the biggest smile that she’d ever smiled in her life. “I love you too.”
Enid moved so she sat in front of Wednesday with her arms around her and they looked at the stars as Wednesday taught her the constellations. They ate the picnic and shared sweet kisses.
When Enid got cold, Wednesday took her jacket off and gave it to her.
They could have stayed there all night, if it wasn’t for Ophelia halls curfew. They packed up and headed back hand in hand.
When they got back to their room, they got changed for bed, Wednesday was already sitting on the side of her bed when Enid came out of the bathroom, they both smiled at each other.
Wednesday held out her hand to Enid who gladly took it and sat down next to her. “sleep here with me tonight? I’m still not sleeping in that monstrosity of a bed of yours”.
“I’d love to” Enid replied laughing.
They laid down together, on their sides facing each other.
“You look beautiful with your hair down wends, Enid said as she brushed some black hair behind Wednesday’s ear. This has been the best night of my life, thank you.”
“Will you be my girlfriend, Enid?” Wednesday asked.
“I love you, of course I will”.
“I love you, too”.
“Goodnight, Wends”
“Goodnight, Cara Mia”.
