Amity had been worrying about this single piece of paper for days. It’s just a single little note. Just… give it to her. She kept repeating over and over and delaying giving the note.
Now it was Grom night and she still hadn’t given Luz the note. It’s now or never, Blight, just tell her! What’s the worst that could happen? She reasoned.
Well, she could stop being your friend. A more logical side of the poor witch’s head argued that Luz wouldn’t do that, but Amity wasn’t being too logical at the moment.
Amity was walking out of the gym to catch a break, rubbing her thumb against the pink piece of paper when she heard Luz, damnit, of course it had to be her, start talking, “I don’t know if it’s nerves or if I accidentally drank some milk but… something’s making my stomach squirm.”
Amity’s eyes widened and she quickly hid the letter away. “Y-You look nice. Strange, but nice.” As if she doesn’t always look nice. She added in her head.
“And, thank you, Luz. Honestly, I’m kind of amazed with how fearless you are.” Amity quickly looked down and to the right, unable to keep staring into her crush’s eyes for too much longer. “You’ve done things I could never do.”
Luz laughed and Titan above, could Amity listen to that sound for the rest of her life and never get bored of it.
“Ha! Yeah right! You going soft on me, Blight?” The human in front of her teased.
Amity put a hand into her pocket and felt the touch of that piece of pink paper. Just give it to her already! This time, the witch gave in. “Maybe I could answer that question with this.” She said as she pulled the pink slip out of her pocket and held it out for the human to take.
After a second Luz took it, Amity hears the sound of the paper being unraveled and squeezed her eyes impossibly shut, waiting for the incoming rejection.
The next few seconds felt like hours and eventually opened her eyes to see the human girl’s reaction.
Amity had plenty of ideas of what her face would look like in those torturous seconds. Disgust, disinterest, not even be there, and a mountain of other emotions.
What she was not expecting, however, was her standing there, absolutely dumbfounded, staring at the note. And wait… Amity thought to herself i-is she blushing?
Luz swallowed. “L-like romantically… or as friends.” Praying to the Titan that it was the first one. “R-romantically.” Amity said. “Only if you want to! We can just go as friends if you’d prefer that!” The witch was quick to add.
“You really are going soft on me, aren’t you?” Luz said as she chuckled. “Maybe a little.” Amity said as she nubbed the back of her neck and pinched her fingers together.
“Oh wait! I didn’t answer your question.” Luz said before she cupped Amity’s cheek, leaned in and planted her lips on Amity’s own. The sudden feeling took the witch by surprise before she realized what was happening.
Her eyes fluttered closed and she melted into the kiss. Amity felt her stomach churn and a blush crawl up her neck that she didn’t care to hide anymore.
When they separated Amity could see the red pooling in Luz’s cheeks. “You’re going on a date with me soon, Noceda.” Amity said. “Well obviously.” Luz replied
The moment was interrupted by Gus announcing the beginning of the Grom fight. “Now introducing our Grom queen! You know her! You love her! You’ve at least heard of her… Luz the human!”
“Welp! I have a fear monster to battle.” Luz said before she walked into the arena.
Once the human was out of earshot and Amity was out of view from the rest of the people on stage, the witch allowed herself to cheer and scream and let out all of the emotion that had been building up since she gave Luz the note.
OhmyTitanOhmyTitanOhmyTitan it happened! Once she got all the energy out of her system she entered the gym with the largest smile she’s had in years.
She walked up the steps of the stands to sit in her seat, forgetting that she had chosen to sit next to the twins, she forgot to wipe the massive smile on her face.
She was reminded of this when Emira asked in a sing-song voice, “What’s got you all giddy Mittens?”
Amity’s face flushed red. “N-N-Nothing!” She blurted out. “I bet 50 Snails it has something to do with Luz.” Emira said, causing Amity to get even redder and huff in a pout. “Oh come on! Tell us!” Edric chimed in. “Only if you promise not to tease me.” Amity grumbled out. “Deal!”
“Okay fine. It-It does have to do with Luz-” Amity started, but was cut off by Emira. “Called it!” Amity shot her sister a pout before continuing. “I kinda… may or may not have… asked her to be my date to Grom and she said yes.”
She heard her siblings gasp and then grab her shoulders to shake her. “Ahhhh! Our baby sister is growing up so fast.” Edric exclaimed. “Our sis is dating one of the trouble makers.”
“You two say that as if you two don’t have the most obvious crushes on Viney and Jerbo.” She said as she pointed at Emira when she said Viney’s name and pointing to Edric when the witch said Jerbo’s name.
When she called them out both Ed and Em frowned and went silent for a second as Amity smiled to herself.
***************
Once the Grom fight was over everyone was permitted to dance and just socialize on the floor. Luz and Amity found each other almost immediately and interlocked each other’s hands together.
They quickly found Willow and Gus, the former glanced down at her friends’ hands and shot them each a knowing smirk, causing them to blush and laugh nervously.
Willow pulled Amity aside, who was nervous that Willow wouldn’t accept it, after all they just became friends again and now Amity’s dating her best friend.
“I’m assuming you finally got your act together and asked her out?” Willow said, laughing. “Was I that obvious?” Amity asked hypothetically. “I remember that slight blush you had the entire time you were holding hands with Luz while fixing my memories, Amity, I’m not stupid.”
Amity opened her mouth to begin talking but was cut off by Willow. “And before you ask, no I don’t care that you two are dating. You clearly make her happy and that is enough for me.” Amity quickly pulled her friend into a hug “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!”
They soon separated from the hug and returned to continue talking with Luz and Gus until Boscha jumped into the conversation, taking a glance at Amity and Luz’s hands. She instantly pieced it all together like Willow.
“So Amity Blight, you’re dating the human, huh?” Everyone looked at her with a face of disinterest. “Yes, I am Boscha. Do you have a problem with that?”
“Maybe I do, maybe I don’t.” Luz rolled her eyes. “I don’t know. Just sounds like someone is jealous.” She said making the rest of the group spit their drinks out and cough.
“This isn’t over, human.” Boscha said, putting as much venom as possible into the last word as she walked off. “Yeah, it kinda is.” Luz replied nonchalantly.
