Witches Among Humans (Owl House AU)

Chapter 17: Head Over Heels

"Thanks, guys! Cya next week!" Luz waved as Willow's dad left and she entered The Owl House.

King gasped, hopping up from Eda's lap. "You're back!"

He then ran over, climbed up her shoulder and then onto her head. "I didn't miss you at all."

Eda rolled her eyes before standing up. "So, how'd it go?"

"It went great!" Luz smiled.

"Wait, really? You actually had fun?" Eda asked. "I was thinking SOMEONE was gonna do something to make it go wrong."

"Nah, even when Grom attacked, it didn't change much." Luz then blushed a little. "I even got a dance."

"Okay, Grom better be dead this time." Eda said before smirking. "Who's the lucky person?"

"Amity Blight." Luz said, thinking back to the moment they shared at prom before Grom attacked.

"Blight?" Eda asked, scratching her chin. "Blight...Blight...where have I heard that name before?" She then grabbed her phone and started scrolling through things. "Oh! Right! Blight! The rich family. She wasn't a jerk to ya, was she?"

"No?" Luz asked.

"Okay good. Looks like the genes didn't pass on." Eda said, putting away her phone. "I knew her mom."

"You did?! When!?" Luz said, picking up King and carrying him as she walked over.

"Back at school. Biggest regret of anyone's life is meeting her, lemme tell ya." Eda sighed. "She was and still is greedy, manipulative, lying, and no good. I may be considered all of those things, but at least I care for people! She didn't even treat her own boyfriend like a person, and more like a toy she gave nicknames too."

"That actually explains a lot..." Luz thought.

"Anyway, enough about that shady woman, I'm glad you had fun." Eda said, ruffling Luz's hair. "Not to mention, you're getting stronger."

Luz smiled even more and set King down gently and hugged her. "And I know I've said this a lot...but thank you."

Eda smiled, patting her back. "You're welcome, Luz."

"I love you, Eda." Luz said, like a small child would say to their loving parent just out of pure cuteness."

Eda's eyes widened before she smiled and hugged Luz just a tad tighter. "Love you too."

"Does this mean Eda's my grandma now?" King asked, confused. "Cause I'm fine with that!"

"Oh, yeah! What were you two doing while I was gone?" Luz asked, letting go and then taking off the jacket to her suit.

"Oh, me and the little guy were bonding. He started missing you, so I showed him some things I used to watch when I was your age." Eda said simply.

King laughed. "The 'cartoons' were strangely horrifying and amazing at the same time."

Luz laughed before she yawned, stretching her arms. "Well, I'm gonna hit the hay."

"Ummm, Mom?" King asked.

"Hmmm?"

"Can I stay with Eda tonight? She's been really nice lately." King said.

Luz smiled and nodded. "You don't even need to ask, sweetie. Mwah!" She said, kissing him goodnight before leaving to sleep.

The next few days were...well. Great. A monster wasn't attacking, and Amity was officially apart of Luz's group of friends.

It felt...nice. Seeing Amity smile in a way she hadn't seen before Prom Night.
