Luz Pov:

When I awoke the next morning, I felt a light weight on my chest. Thinking it was King, I sighed softly without opening my eyes, gently carding my fingers through his fur. Or... so I thought.

However, this 'fur' felt more silky than fluffy. I raised a brow, puzzled, then cracked an eye open to see purple hair in my peripheral vision. I sucked in a light breath as my face grew hot. If I wasn't awake before, I definitely was now. How the hell did we get in this position? When did it even happen?

I stared for a long while, making sure she was still asleep, before letting out a small sigh of relief. She looked... like a cotton-candy haired goddess. The light from the window making her angelic face seem to glow. I was momentarily stunned, but eventually I couldn't help myself. My fingers carding through her soft and silky tresses absentmindedly.

...Was that- purring I heard?

Sure enough, I felt a light vibration on my chest, having to hold back a squeal. Could all witches do this? I'd have to test it on the others. That is- if they'd let me..

That's when I started to feel her stir, holding my breath and keeping my hand still as I watched the pink hair shift. She could probably hear my damn heart racing, too, unless she was still out of it. Which I was praying for. It seemed like she was anyhow, laying on my chest to where her chin rested on me.

Her eyes fluttered open just a smidge, trying to wake herself up as we both seemed to stare at each other for a long moment. "...... M-Mmn.. why ya so... pretty-"

I blinked, my cheeks flaring. I knew she was still half-asleep, but it still caught me off-guard. "...Come again-??"

She seemed to look confused for a moment. "..Wha-? O-OHHH MY TITAN-!!" Amity looked wide awake now, her eyes widening as she scrambled backwards off of me, her face red as a tomato. She hit her back along one of the boxes, yelping as a small one tumbled off onto her head.

"....This is so embarrassing-"

I couldn't help but lightly giggle, sitting up with a small stretch before reaching to grab the small box off her. "Hehe, don't worry, I won't tell the twins."

She smiled subtly, though soon fell as she squinted at my smirking face. "Why- Why are you looking at me like that-?"

"Oh- no reason... Just figured out ya can purr~"

Amity seemed to grow redder, the tips of her ears matching as she froze for a moment. Then she turned her head up, crossing her arms as her eyes darted off to the side. "N-No I don't! That's preposterous-!"

My smirk broadened, reaching without thinking towards her chin. Giving it a little scritch, I felt her tense with a sharp intake of breath, her face looking like it was sweating as she tried to keep it in. But I knew I had her. Moments later, I felt a soft vibration along my fingertips, along with the small sound of purring. "Hmhm, I beg to differ cariño~"

It looked like steam was pouring out her ears, covering her burning face with her hands. I stopped in case I accidentally made her fall over, which I had a bad habit of doing in the past.

"Okay okay, I'm done, I promise." I chuckled, watching as she peeked between her fingers with a playful glare.

"I hate you-"

"No ya don't~" Amity huffed, rolling her eyes as I stick out my tongue, then I paused. "Do all witches have that ability? Or are you special?"

She seemed to take a breath to steady herself. "I know Emira does it when she's around Viney at times... Don't know if Ed does it-"
