Work Text:
Sitting as straight as Wednesday on her bed, Enid waited anxiously for the other girl, playing with those hands a little too much. Staring at the door waiting for his arrival.
When the door opened, Enid's reaction was immediate.
-“Wednesday!”
-"Indeed, it's me."
Respond the goth heading towards her desk and putting down her bag.
-"Um, I'd like to talk to you about something." Enid smiled rather awkwardly, Wednesday didn't need to be a feeling pro to know that she wasn't exactly comfortable.
-"I don't have time, can it wait?"
The blonde hesitates for a moment, Wednesday never stops packing these things to go out again.
-"I guess so"
-"Well."
Her bag again on her shoulders, Enid did not take her eyes off her roommate as she left the room again.
When the door closed she collapsed onto her bed.
-"I'm never going to make it."
She sighed, before closing her eyes.
.
.
.
Wednesday had been in her room for a while, enjoying the silence of the room, Enid having been with Yoko for a while.
Wednesday barely glanced at her when she entered the room, far too preoccupied with her book.
Like most of the time, the blonde lay down on her phone and scrolled through social media.
Until.
-"Wednesday, could I talk to you about something after your writing time?"
-"Afterwards, I'm busy."
-"Thank you Weds"
It was perhaps a hurried because when the clicking of the machine stopped, Enid did not have time to straighten up to face her roommate she was already in the bathroom .
Maybe she forgot?
But Wednesday never forgets anything...
So it was voluntary.
With a weary sigh, again, Enid collapsed.
.
.
.
If Wednesday wasn't available for a real discussion, Enid would drop in and do it.
The bell rang indicating the end of her class, so she had about 5 minutes to go see Wednesday, and tell her "I'm in love with you" before rushing off to her second class.
She wasn't surprised when in the middle of these sentence Wednesday abruptly cut her off.
-"Wednesday, I absolutely have to tell you, I'm in love..."
-"This is definitely not the time Enid. We'll see you later."
These lips lowered for the rest of the day, these friends we started maybe to worry.
.
.
.
If talking to her unexpectedly didn't work, she was going to make an appointment with her.
“Hey Wed, I really need to talk to you about something important, could we meet at the library?”
The message was quickly seen, without any response in return as most of the time in reality.
But Enid had hope.
Too much hope.
Wednesday never came to find her.
She wasn't really surprised, but her disappointment was there as much as her pain.
And she's really starting to get tired of it all.
And for the first time, she called Yoko, not to speak of love for Wednesday, but to explain this girl is bad and cryied for a long time.
.
.
.
Not once did Wednesday try to find out what was wrong with Enid.
As if she had been waiting for this silence all this time.
The atmosphere had obviously changed, and since Enid wasn't bad enough, this realization made it even sadder.
If she had been able to ignore these feelings everything would have been easier, her friendship with Wednesdays wouldn't have foundered this way. She now understands people who say "I prefer not to say anything so as not to ruin our friendship".
Maybe she should try to forget those feelings and repair the friendship they had together as weird as it was.
With a sigh and she got up from her bed that she hadn't left since the beginning of the weekend.
-" Wednesday ?"
No response came to her in return, so she decided not to insist, falling back onto her bed with a long, tired sigh.
-"I finished my sentence, yes?"
Enid sat up so quickly that she almost fell out of bed.
"We're still friends, aren't we?"
-"Why? Unless you want to?"
She could just tell him yes, that she doesn't want to be his friend but his girlfriend. But instead, she...
-"Yeah, obviously, why wouldn't we be?" Enid laughed, and Wednesday didn't need anyone to know he wasn't being sincere.
And maybe Wednesday are starting to realize that she screwed up.
Running away was never a good thing.
Especially not in love.
.
.
.
But it was too late.
.
.
.
Enid has been playing with her food for a while without anything flopping around.
Everyone knows what got her in this state but no one really said anything to make it better.
- “You should eat a little Enid,” advised her best friend, placing her glass of blood in front of her. “Stop making yourself sick over that.” Enid shrugged.
-"I'm not very hungry, that's all."
And this situation is really starting to become pressing. Bianca stood up, walked around the table to grab Wednesday and drag her off the table.
-"We need to talk."
Wednesday barely responded to the action, only violently freeing his arm without stopping to follow the siren.
Wednesday definitely made fun of her.
She had pushed her away again and again every time she asked for some time to talk to her, only to have her finally just let Bianca drag her like that?
She went from anxiety, despair, weariness, disappointment, sadness, and now? she was angry and determined.
Determine to express these feelings to him but also to make him regret his behavior.
She got up, left her meal on the table and left as quickly as possible so that no one could follow her.
Wednesday avoid it?
She don't you want to listen to it?
Okay, she will force her.
.
.
.
“Thing, I need you.”
The hand came out of Wednesday's bed and approached a little shyly.
-"I know that Wednesday can handle very strong poisons that, but I would like to have one that can make her pass out for about ten minutes."
Thing absolutely doesn't like the idea.
He energetically moves his little fingers to refuse the young girl's request.
- "Unlike Wednesday, I don't threaten in a vacuum or uselessly, you want to know what you would feel if I removed each of your points one by one using my claws? I'm curious, you can't don't scream or cry, what would you do.
Thing signed quickly, finding Enid's threats the most convincing he had ever heard.
“Brodifacum is good. We’ll just have to give him some coagulant when he wakes up.”
-"Not so complicated" smiled Enid, her usual smile returning, she patted him friendly to thank him but he only shivered at the contact. “Now you’re going to find some for me.”
The appendix remains immobile.
He literally had to choose between Enid and Wednesday?
-"I leave you no choice, you should leave now, I doubt it is such an easy poison to obtain."
-"Tell Wednesday I'm going back to the mansion, and I'll be back in two days."
-"Great, have a nice weekend Thing!!"
[...]
Enid stayed for a moment thinking if it was really the solution, she had a little doubt at one point, but seeing Wednesday continue to act as if nothing was happening made her beside herself.
She tried one last time.
One last chance for her to tell him she's not interested.
Because that was the problem, Wednesday had neither confirmed nor returned these feelings.
She leaves Enid with her hope.
And this hope kills her from the inside, it ruins her heart with every word she exchanges with Wednesday because of all these "and if".
-You know where Thing is, I haven't seen him since last night. "
-"sorry I forgot to tell you, he went back to the mansion for two days. Don't you miss him already?"
-"never."
-"Obviously you won't ever care about anyone but yourself."
"What are you trying to say?"
-"You already know very well, I've been trying to talk to you for weeks, but escaping and remaining in silence is certainly simpler." enid was just angry, she expressing finally what she thinks about Wednesday for weeks. “you suck Wednesday, as a friend and best friend, things would have been simpler if we had never met.”
And Wednesday was okay with that.
-"then go back and see Tanaka as you know how to do so well, it was you who wanted to become my friend in the first place, you can only blame yourself, it's you who is responsible!” It was the first time Enid heard him raise his voice.
Was she doing it for the accused of being responsible for everything that happened between them? Wednesday agreed to become his friend, she didn't have to, she is as responsible as she is!!
-"no, it's your ignorance and your silence on Wednesday, but don't worry it won't be a problem anymore."
Enid grabbed her bag and left the room, slamming the door.
Wednesday watches her leave, unable to do anything.
Neither to move, nor even to say the slightest word when she wanted of say so much.
.
.
.
Even though Yoko could tell that her friend was really good at ignoring Wednesday, she wasn't blind, just a vampire who couldn't handle the sun's rays. Being away from Wednesday this way destroys it.
-"You can't continue like this Enid."
-"One more day, I have to wait for Thing to come back, and everything will be okay."
-"I don't understand how this hand can help you."
The vampire received no response, just silence and a certain smile.
She didn't need anything else to know that the blonde had something planned.
"I hope you know what you're doing."
-"Obviously."
Despite Enid's smile which had not weakened, Yoko could see the doubt and fear in those magnificent blue eyes.
-"Enid at the slightest problem does not hesitate to come see me, does not wait until the last moment as usual."
-"Don't worry !"
And how can you not worry when she seems to reassure herself more than Yoko.
[...]
As promised, Thing came back two days after leaving with a small vial.
-"Thing, are you back? Did everything go well at the mansion?"
He quickly puts the container down before warning Enid.
-"They will soon realize that they are missing brodifacoum."
-"You don't have to worry, everything will be sorted out overnight."
With a big smile of thanks she grabbed the liquise and quickly escaped to put her plan into action. Leaving his five-fingered friend on the verge of a heart attack...
Good thing, he doesn't have a heart.
.
.
.
Enid is very calm for someone who is planning to poison her best friend.
She waits quietly on her bed, while a tray with very strong coffee awaits her roommate next to the typewriter at the other end of the room.
And Wednesday arrives right on time like every evening.
-"Did you get lost?"
Asks Wednesday ironically when she sees the wolf even though she told him she never wanted to see her again.
-"I may have gotten a little carried away, I brought you a coffee the way you like to drink." Enid watches Wednesday grab the black cup in her hand. “to make me forgiven.”
Wednesday pursed her lips, it was weird, but Enid was always weird, no surprise she apologized in a weird way?
-"The gesture is appreciated." the little girl drinks several sips before raising her head. “I wish I could do the same for you.” she frowned for a brief moment before realizing exactly what she had just drunk.
It wasn't the first time.
She mumbled something that sounded like, "Thing, you're going to regret this." Before sitting up by herself, letting sleep overtake her with too much confidence.
Enid stood up just as Wednesday's eyes closed.
“Okay, I have to hurry.” Perhaps panicking slightly, she pulled out the top drawer of her desk and grabbed a small capsule. “Okay, now.” She approaches the clairvoyant with her left arm under her neck and the second at her knees to carry her. “You're heavier than I imagined,” the blonde growled as she led them out of their room, taking care to close the door with her feet as best she could.
If anyone saw her walking down the halls with an unconscious Wednesday in her arms, no one said anything.
No one wants to be in Sinclair's or Addams' business. Worse when it involves both.
It was a rule that everyone took care to respect since Crackstone.
[...]
Wednesday emerges little by little, these suffering eyes slowly adapt to the low light. When they finally raise their heads, eyes still narrowed, she tries to raise her hands only to be stopped in her movement by the sounds of chains echoing in the empty room.
“It’s a decent job.” Wednesday said softly, relaxing the muscles in his body. She was carefully tied to a metal chair, with her hands and feet tied, in a place unknown to her, is she still here Nevermor ?
Now correctly distinguishing her surroundings, she only now saw a silhouette in the shadows. Who emerges from the darkness, a drink in one hand and a capsule in the other.
Despite the situation, the girl's good mood was still there, but a little crease between her eyebrows persisted.
Upset? Anger ?
- “Here, take this.” Enid scoffed lightly. “Yeah, it’s going to be tricky if you don’t have hands.”
Wednesday turned her head, she trusted the wolf, but after being poisoned and chained, she had the right to doubt a little.
-"What is this ?"
-"warfarin, I put brodifacoum in your coffee."
Wednesday lets out a slight breath and opens her mouth to give him the tablet, as she approaches with the glass of water, the clairvoyant opens her mouth to show her that she has already swallowed it.
"So, what are you going to do now? Torture me? Barbie is much more terrifying and painful than whatever torture you planned to do to me."
-"First of all, I'm sure you enjoyed Barbie somewhat and secondly, given the way you're running away, I think this evening might be the scariest for you of all you've ever experienced before."
-"scary? I've been sharing a room with you for almost two years, I can handle it all."
-"No" Enid grabbed a chair which she let drag on the concrete floor with a dull noise that echoed throughout the building. “There’s one thing you can’t.”
and for the first time she had opened her eyes, Enid's smile was sad. It's eyes losing slightly their clarity and knowing that she was there responsible turns Wednesday's stomach. She never meant to hurt her, but apparently no matter what happens, she always ends up hurting the people she cares about.
-"You know very well what I'm talking about" observes the blogger. "So you intentionally avoided me, I wasn't wrong." Enid blurted out with a crisp laugh, she didn't have any ideas, so she wasn't completely crazy.
-"You really made fun of me"
-"What are you looking for? Revenge? I would understand"
-"What? Absolutely not!" His face softened slightly while Wednesday's heart relaxed. “You didn’t want to listen to me willingly, so I’m going to force you to listen to me.”
And Wednesday has never seemed so attentive to Enid before.
Enid stood up, playing with her hands. “I've tried so many times it feels like you might just walk away in a split second if I look away for just a micro-second.”
-"I'm not leaving, and I'm not just saying that because of the chains. Enid, you can trust me. I promise."
Enid made no move to detach Wednesday and in any case it wasn't what the clairvoyant expected, but the blonde could now look away and search for these words quietly without having to stare into the other's dark eyes. girl.
-"I've been planning this for ages and it still seems so difficult to express."
-"We're not so different after all."
-"Everything would have been simpler if you hadn't been a coward"
-"It's a possibility."
Wednesday admits, surprising the other girl.
-"But it was what I thought was best for you." adds the eldest Addams, raising his head to fall directly into Enid's shining eyes.
-"The best for me? Oh I was just anxious at first, admitting to having feelings for this best friend is not so easy especially when you are the friend in question, who keeps repeating that she doesn't 'love, but I wanted to tell you, to be honest with myself and with you, even though you told me you didn't love me. I tried to convince myself that you had no feelings for me, "she avoids me because she doesn't want to hurt me" but there was this hope this "what if" you didn't hesitate to send Xavier elsewhere, so I nourished this hope. I'm totally stupid. "
-"No, you're not, if I'm ignoring you, it's because I think you'll end up forgetting me."
- "Wednesday, feelings cannot be forgotten so easily! I almost thought I was going crazy, I hated you as much as I loved you. Yoko must certainly have hated you since those day."
-"If she kills me, I won't hold it against her, I hurt you, that would justify it."
-"And I will have to kill her then..." Enid sighed. "You just had to tell me that you didn't love me on Wednesday. It wasn't complicated, especially not for you."
-"I can not do that."
-"Being here for two years, you've already rejected boys and girls alike, don't tell me..."
-"I couldn't push you away, because I didn't want to." cut wednesday
-"You didn't want to do it"? What exactly are you trying to say?”
-"I'm trying to tell you that I share your feelings."
The surprise on his face quickly stopped, turning into visible anger, Wednesday gritted his teeth ready to receive this deserved anger.
-"You ignored me, rejected me, all that when you loved me too? Do you realize what that did to me?!"
-"I'm sorry Enid" and the sincerity that Enid could see was calme her slightly.
-"Whore." Laughs Enid. "I'm not even asking you for a statement just to listen to me and tell me yes or no, or maybe just nod at me. Anything."
-"I could never give you what you want."
-"You have no idea what I want on Wednesday, you would have if you listened to me, I just want you."
-"I saw you with Ajax, I can go out with you, but I will never be able to provide for all your... needs?"
"For all my needs? Do you think Ajax could do it? No, he couldn't, because he wasn't you."
Enid moves closer, her hand hovering over the psychic's cheek, Wednesday nods slightly in agreement, she almost melts at the touch. Closing his eyes for a moment, just wishing he could touch her back.
-"Enid, I'm asexual."
Enid frowned and moved away slightly.
-"I don't understand."
-"This means that I feel no sexual desire..."
-"No, I know what asexual means, I don't understand the connection."
-"Well I will never be able to satisfy your..."
-"Stop okay" Enid cut her off abruptly, she hid her face in her hands to calm her blushing face, honestly she had barely imagined being able to kiss Wednesday... So, knowing that Wednesday was avoiding her because she was thinking that not having sex would be a problem, it could almost be cute. "For starters, you don't have to have feelings beforehand to have a sexual relationship with someone, the reverse also works, you don't have to have a sexual relationship to have a romantic relationship ." Enid sighed, she was so relieved. "I love you that's the only thing that matters, I... Fuck, I literally threatened Thing, I poisoned you, kidnapped you, tied you up just because you thought I would never happy with you just because you couldn't sleep with me ? It's so ridiculous, you're an idiot.
- "Sorry, your relationship with AJAX boils down to you spending all your time kissing and touching yourself too obscenely in public, I don't want to imagine it in private."
-"Please I'm still trying to forget this. I... It was the first time I went out with someone, I thought it was normal ok, and on the one hand it was was for training, to calm my wolf side, and I don't know, I just made a mistake, every time he tried to take off my t-shirt or raise his hands a little too high, I instinctively pushed him away. I guess my wolf was trying to tell me something and I was just trying to shut him up. I was pretty bad, but now it's okay, I understand, I shouldn't do so he disappears or takes over when most werewolves' she grimaces 'I have to become one. with him, I'm still working on that a bit." She scratched the back of her head, a little uncomfortably. "And maybe I'll try not to disappoint my mother too much, at least even if it wasn't a wolf, it was a boy. God, she's going to hate you so much."
-"And obviously you like it." Enid sighs with laughter. Why was she surprised?
-"Wednesday ?"
-"Yes ?"
-"I...I would like to know what your limits are."
-"For you, I have no limits as long as I don't ask you for a stop."
- “So can I kiss you? Cuddle you? ”
"Enid, stop worrying if something goes wrong, I'll just tell you. Okay? Like we always did."
- “So a little kiss can I?”
-"What did I just say? Besides, it's not like I can really stop you from doing anything."
Enid almost made fun of Wednesday who shook her legs to shock the chains to remind her to still be tied up. But Enid doesn't really care.
-"Hooo, I'm sure you don't mind all this as much as you want us to believe. Said Enid, making the last space between her disappear, barely a second, she moved away only to see Wednesday's face quite perplexed? Upset? Enid wasn't yet good enough to recognize all of Wednesday's feelings.
-"Yeah, you're sure you're not going beyond my limits here." This mocked Wednesday with a small smile and it was the first time Enid saw her smile and if that was even possible she fell more in love with Wednesday.
-"Are you planning to untie me or keep me captive here."
Almost panicking, as if she had forgotten that Wednesday was tied up, she rushed behind Wednesday, rummaging in those pockets for the key and inserting it into the lock of the padlock.
-"I'm really sorry."
-"From what? Forgetting that I was tied up or for doing it?"
-"for all" squealed the blonde, now taking care of the chains around the other girl's ankles.
-"Don't apologize for that. It's definitely the most romantic declaration of love we've ever made."
Enid stood up.
“Omg, of course kidnapping would be romantic for you.” Enid laughs, reaching out to grab Wednesday's but she stops inches away, Wednesday finishing the movement.
Wednesday squeezed the other girl's hand tightly. Walking side by side to their room where they are snuggled together.
And Enid didn't need anything else.
