Summary:

Oh uh, I'm falling in love
Oh no, I'm falling in love again
Oh, I'm falling in love

Three times Wednesday and Enid each realized they had feelings for each other.

Canon: Enid fell first, Wednesday fell harder

—————————————————-
"It only hurts this much right now

Was what I was thinking the whole time"

As much as Enid could show beaming excitement, she was equally capable of being incredibly hurt. She always wore her heart on her sleeve, and was too naive and trusting sometimes. And because she had such a big heart, she also had plenty more space for knives to be thrown at it.

And when it hurt, it hurt a lot.

Her whole life she had felt like she wasn't enough. Her mother's constant criticism had worn her to the point of exhaustion. She tried to be likable to everyone else, just to feel like she belonged and like she wasn't just some insufficient late wolfer.

And so, being disliked by Wednesday Addams stung.

Everything fundamental to her, she disliked. Her colorful clothes, her optimism, cheerfulness, her need to socialize, and the music she enjoyed. Her whole personality was basically everything Wednesday hated about the world. And so, it stung.

Yet, they somehow had managed to form some sort of weird friendship, or what Enid thought was the beginning of one. By now she had gotten used to Wednesday's threatening stares and bitter words.

Maybe she could live with being disliked. She decided was no longer going to apologize for who she was and it would hurt at first, but not forever.

"Breathe in, breathe through

Breathe deep, breathe out

I'll be getting over you my whole life"

She didn't expect Wednesday to find all those qualities appealing, because she clearly never would. But she did want the brunette to like her, for a completely different reason than she was used to. She wasn't seeking acceptance or approval this time. She wanted her to like her because even though they were polar opposites and Enid still found her weird as shit, she had grown fond of Wednesday.

On the downside, this new weird dynamic had increased Enid's anxiety levels.

She always took deep breaths to calm herself down before talking to her, not knowing how the interaction would go next time, though she approached her with optimism all the time.

Everyone was either scared, intimidated, or driven away by Wednesday Addams, but not Enid. She wanted so badly to be her friend and she had tried the hardest to be, harder than she ever had to try in her life. She sometimes questioned why it was so important to her, why it was worth her time and energy, and why she was so adamant and determined.

All she knew was, ever since she met the girl, somewhere deep within her, the desire to keep her in her life forever started to flourish.

"You know how scared I am of elevators

Never trust it if it rises fast

It can't last"

Enid was known for rushing into things. She was usually so excited about being able to connect to others, of being able to feel like she belonged, that she wanted all of it, all at once, all so fast.
