Seeing you in the true light

Usually waking up in the morning wasn't hard for me. Although this morning, I felt something heavy on my chest and I heard something like camera clicks.

"Must be the press wanting to interrogate about the fire" I thought.

I groaned, opening my eyes and looking down to see why there was something heavy on my chest. To my surprise, it was someone's blonde head. That's when all my memories came rushing back to me it left me breathless. My heartbeat quickened thinking about who was lying on my chest.

"Goodmorning sunshine," says a voice behind me. "Wha-" I swivel my head around to see Amity, Luz, and Em standing there holding up their Scrolls, probably taking pics of me and Hunter just lying there, for Penstagram. I widen my eyes and I almost scream, but Hunter gives a little sniffle and pulls me closer to him. I almost die from this little gesture. Like the blight manor last night, my whole body goes up in flames, metaphorically speaking, and the girls can see it. They all whisper an "oooh Edric~", which makes me wiggle, wanting to break free from Hunter's cozy grasp, even though I would rather not because right now I feel like I died and arrived in heaven, to go grab one of the girls to make them delete the photos. With these sudden movements, Hunter's eyes flutter open. He slowly realizes he's looking at someone's chest and lifts his head up. In the morning light, he looks up to see an angel... No... The guy he briefly saw yesterday night...

" What's his name again? Oh, Edric Blight-, " Hunter looks down to where he has wrapped his hands unconsciously around Edric's waist and jumps up, screaming,

"Edric Blight!" He slaps a hand over his mouth, a blush covering his face, making his pale face burn a deep pink, almost the color of his eyes.

<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Edric is also blushing, but whips his head around to the girls, kicking off his blanket, or rather ours, and chases after the girls. I stand there in bewilderment.

" I just hugged Edric Blight, and we cuddled... Like that... For I don't know how long..." I stand there at my hands, my unforgiving hands, " how dare you" I say under my breath to them.

Luz comes huffing and puffing back into the room.

" Good morning lover boy, hope you had a good sleep, what do you want for breakfast, also... Maybe talk to your boyfriend and tell him to calm the truck down..." she shrugs her shoulder and walks out, not waiting for my response, most probably to go wake up Eda and Lillith, which is a wonder how they haven't awoken yet, from all the ruckus.

I whip my head around to search for that little boyo named King, and I see him still snoring, he might as well have a bubble, animated, coming from his nostril, because he looked like he could sleep through a whole earthquake.

I heard a lot of screams from outside, coming from Amity and some other girl's voice. Sighing, I picked up little rascal and walked out the door. Hooty was extended all the way around, to the side, of the house. I could just hear his annoying voice squeaking and squawking as I heard yells and, most probably spells and glyphs being thrown around. I walked toward the commotion, nearly missing mud being thrown at me.

"Hey, what's going on?" I said as soon as I was in hearing distance of the fight but also away from the splash zone. I could see that amity and Edric were literally standing on each other. Emira, I think that was her name, was trying to grab a... Scroll that was emitting light from it. I approached slowly, as Emira looked up she said, "Think fast" and threw the phone at me. I grab it, with my good reflexes, and turn it around to look at this mysterious object.

" No! Don't look at- hmphhm!" I looked up to see Emira, as she covers Edric's mouth. I blush and look at the face of the small device. To my surprise I see a picture printed onto the surface of the device, of me hugging Edric. The white with purple little cat blanket nearly kicked up away from my side, as I'm burying my head into Edric's chest, and legs looped around one of his legs, looking like my life depended on hugging the green-haired boy that was inconveniently sleeping next to me and was in the range of my sleeping hugs. I blushed and tried to tap the device to make it go away, but it made it worse by it making it in large on Edric's face. I blushed and ran away with the thing, planning on locking myself in the supply closet, but I bump into the owl tube, throwing me into the mud. Someone runs up to me and grabs the device, running away with it, into the house.

I can hear grunting and struggling from behind me. "Let me go mittens! Go play with ur little human girlfriend", I can hear Edric bellow, while he tries smacking Amity, to make her let go. She abruptly let's go and runs past me, snickering. Edric's disheveled look makes him look kinda cute. I approach him, as he looks muddy and tired.

"Hey" I slowly say as I approach him, a much more visible blush spreading all over my cheeks. I put out my hand, " sorry about that, that was all my fault, and now your dirty, we should shower... Uhhh... That sounds weird-" he grabs my hand and pulls me up, coming face to face to me, making me almost lose my balance, causing me to come much closer to him.

"Hoot hoot! Luz says breakfast is ready lovebirds, you should go get washed up and- " he stops talking as he's yanked back, from wherever he came from. I look down at my muddy feet, unaware that Edric and I are still holding hands. I look up and see that we are a breath apart and his face is off to the side, looking away from me, but u can see from the tips of his ears, that he's blushing.

I untangle our intertwined hands, that I think we accidentally intertwined by accident... I hope so, and tap him on his shoulder, " mhm... We better get inside and wash you up- I MEAN WASH OURSELVES UP! You can use my bathroom til you go home, the girl's bathroom is probably too, occupied... Come on." I start walking towards the house, hearing squelching behind me, I don't look back, I'm looking at my hands. The blush spread all the way down to them. I shiver in the early morning sun, thinking about the events that have occurred and what will most likely occur in the future.
