Chapter Text
Luz is sitting on Eda's sofa, scrolling on his phone
He scrolls
And scrolls
And scrolls
Before he stops, his eyes widen, before he turns to amity, who is half sprawled across his lap.
"There's testosterone here?" he almost whispers, looking at Amity with an emotion she can't read.
Amity looks up from her book, tilting his head slightly. "Yeah? although its different than human Testosterone, there's uh." he pauses to tie her hair up, clearly annoyed by the lilac strands fluttering in her face. "right- uh.. 3 types! Witches, Demons, And bipedal demons, I don't know much about it but i know the jist of it... its simple, witch testosterone are for witches, bipedal demon testosterone is for bipedal demons, and demon testosterone is for demons, of course-"
"Can you mix it together?" Luz instantly says, a twinkle in his eye.
"what do you mean?" Amity's ears twitch, curiosity fills him, she loves to hear how Luz thinks
"Like.. can witches take demon testosterone? can you like mix them?" he starts "Would it actually work? would it do limited effects? or would your blood reject it?"
Amiy grins and her tail sways, excited to explain. "Yes you can! it works just as well!"
Luz looks deep in thought for a second "Would....would it work on me?"
Amity takes her time to think himself "Well there's not really.. any research on humans here but...I wouldn't see why it wouldn't? magic isn't involved so it should work on you"
Luz puts his scroll down, stretching silently, before leaning into amity, plopping his head on her stomach, the galaxy in his eyes
"I could become a demon?" Luz asks, hands tapping against the old couch cushions
"Would you like that?" Amity asks, a smile tugging on her lips
Luz jumps up, grinning before running upstairs, shuffling heard, before he runs downstairs holding a beaten up cheap sketchbook.
"its been like- my childhood dream has ALWAYS been to become anything other than human!" Luz flicks through pages upon pages of scribbly drawings of what seemed to be Luz, as demons, dogs, werewolves, otters, incomprehensible animals, canines are a repeated theme, although.
Amity takes it in and listen to Luz closely before giggling softly "you REALLY didn't wanna be human huh?"
Luz's expression dulls, closing the sketchbook and sitting back down "I...really didn't want to be human...every human I've ever met besides my parents have been....bad.. to say the least...humans will punch and kick and call you shit just because you're...weird...and do it for years and enjoy seeing you upset over it... humans are terrible creatures and a big majority of them will reject anything that doesn't fit what they think of as normal, but I have never been judged by the animals at Mami's work.. or anybody here.. they judge me because I'm human, even if I don't feel human, not because I'm weird!! I....I'm not connected to humans, at all."
Amity stares at Luz, before cupping his face
"How long?"
"Huh?"
"How long have you felt this way cachorro?"
Luz sits there picking at his nails for a minute, before muttering a reply
"As long as I've been aware I'm alive... I guess? I don't think I've ever felt connected to humans.. when I'd come home from school at 8 I'd always walk 2 miles to the vets just to sit with the dogs who needed to stay for a while... Mami always used to call me the "Dog whisperer" because even the most aggressive dogs would prance up to me like they're puppies.." Luz giggled sadly "Mami hated when I'd walk that far.. said I'm putting myself in danger! Which I KINDA was but whatever..."
Amity sits there, taking in that information for a few minutes, before sitting up, a quiet pop coming from her back
"Well.... what would you want to go on?"
a questioning hum escapes from Luz's throat, turning towards him
"Like would you wanna go on demon T or biped T?"
Luz sits in thought again, relaxing and leaning back against the sofa, Amity puts a leg on Luz's lap
"uh.. probably biped? I wanna still be able to do the things I like and most of my hobbies involve apposable thumbs"
The lilac haired witch hums in acknowledgement
"We could arrange that."
