Summary:

Enid loves memes but loves annoying Wednesday more. While Wednesday is studying, Enid gets bored and does the only thing she can think of. Enid tells Wednesday a dick joke.

———————————————————-

Enid walked a fine line. And that line was Wednesday Addams.

Enid was very familiar with noticing social cues and how to read others. Most would tell you that while Enid could see and understand these social cues, she had a very hard time following them. This was due to the few braincells Enid had left not being used for singing kpop or quoting memes.

Among these social skills, Enid had the ability to learn just what could irritate someone or make them smile. The former being a favorite of Enid's, but only with her closest friends. Despite the mean names Wednesday would call Enid, like 'mutt' and 'mortal enemy', Enid considered Wednesday her closest-est friend. And that, unfortunately for Wednesday, meant endless teasing.

Earlier this month...

Wednesday was at her desk typing a paper for one of her classes. Enid sat in her bed looking at her phone. Across the room from her, the smaller black-haired academic student typed away rapidly. The rhythmic typing of the type-writer's keys drove Enid crazy. Enid often had extra energy and would find herself clicking pens or tapping fingers during class, making small noises to pass the time or expel that energetic build under her skin. However, Enid only liked it when SHE was making the noise, and if anyone else was to make small noises, Enid would wince and fidget at each sound, unable to suppress her annoyance.

Finding the click-clack of the metal keys absolutely torturous and desiring attention, Enid thought of a joke. A joke that she knew would push all of Addams buttons, and in a way that made Addams' teeth snarl and eyes blaze. Just the thought of her horrid stare made Enid smile a little.

"Hey, Wednesday?" Enid drawled, uncertain if the girl would react.

Wednesday momentarily paused her typing. If it was any other breathing creature besides Enid, Wednesday would have simply ignored the noise made in her direction. However, feeling the small ping in her chest whenever she heard that voice, Wednesday looked over at her roommate questioningly, "Yes?"

"How many languages do you know?" Enid tried her best to hide a smile that threatened to surface.

Wednesday narrowed her eyes at Enid, unsure of the origins of the question and if she should answer honestly.

"Numerous. Why do you ask?"

Enid shrugged, "I was wondering if you could help me with something."

Again, Wednesday sat and thought about where this conversation could be going. She wasn't aware of any language classes the wolf took, so the reason behind such a question still alluded her. Yet, Wednesday understood that her roommate was a bit...odd.

"That depends. What is it that you wish aid in?"

"Could you translate how to say something in Cantonese?" Enid held her breath, unsure if she'd be able to stop herself from laughing.

Wednesday tilted her head. Wanting to show off her superior memory and retention for language, she asked, "What would you have me translate?"

Enid's eyes lit up and she grinned. She didn't think her roommate knew how to speak it.

"Do you know how to say corn in Cantonese?"

The room was quiet for a moment while Wednesday came up with her answer. Enid just about passed out from holding in her laughter.

"Yes, it's Suk Mai-"

"YOU CAN SUCK MY NUTS! HAHAHA!"

Wednesday froze and stared at her roommate.

Enid's body shook with each laugh, "HAHA, Get it? Like-"

Later that day...

Yoko heard yelling and furious footsteps outside her door and in the school halls.

"YOKO PLEASE!"

Yoko sighed heavily knowing exactly who was sprinting and screaming, trying her best to ignore it.

Enid reached Yoko's door and banged loudly against it, "YOKO I'M GONNA DIE! LET ME IN!"

Opening her phone, Yoko continued to ignore the dramatic blonde.

"PLEASE, THEY'RE GONNA KILL ME!"

Yoko finally gave in and yelled, "You have claws! Use them!"

"BUT IT'S WEDNESDAY!" Enid shouted at the large wooden door.

A large chuckle came from Yoko and they opened the door just a crack, "What set her off? You paint her nails in her sleep?"

Enid pressed her face through the small crack of the door, her eyes filled with fear, "NO! I..."

Yoko waited patiently, enjoying the sight of Enid squirm.

Sighing, Enid looked at Yoko with pleading eyes, "I made a dick joke."

SLAM! Yoko closed the door immediately and began walking into their room.

"PLEASE, YOKO! LET ME IN! SHE'LL KILL ME!" Enid pounded her fists against the door.

"THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!" Yoko responded, already pulling out their phone.

"YOU BACK STABBING CORPSE!" Enid barked one last time at the door and then sprinted off once more.

Waiting a few moments more, Yoko listened for any other noises from the hall.

A small shadow passed the bottom of her door. Yoko stayed silent, nervous to move an inch. The shadow stood still for a few beats before carrying back down the hall. Yoko shuttered, Enid really fucked up this time.
