Close for Comfort

Chapter 1: Thanks to you. Part 1

4:56 AM
It began like any other morning for Luz. Only this time it was an exceptionally early wake up time for her. Unable to force herself back to sleep after staring around her room groggily. She steadily blinked multiple times in order to adjust her eyes to the dimly light room. Her gaze shifts to the alarm clock which emanates a bright green glow. "4:58 AM" it reads. Given the position she has put herself in by choosing to wake up this early. She slowly but surely sits up in her bedsheets, running her hands down her face and rubbing her eyes. Luz grabs her phone out from under her pile of assorted plushies from all of her favourite series'. She turns the phone on and almost recoils physically as the brightening white apple logo practically blinds her and startles her wide awake. After taking some time to adjust her eyes again to the bright lights of her phone screen, she opens up her instagram for you page and starts scrolling through the assorted reels.

An hour comes to pass, Luz having switched between watching youtube videos and scrolling through both her instagram and twitter's feeds. Has found herself at a loss of things to occupy her usually hyperactive brain. She makes the decision to finally emerge from the warm and comforting confines of her bed out over to her desk where she turns on the desk lamp. Shining a soft and warm yellow-orange light upon the many drawings she has made over the weeks. Drawings of her, her in her titan form, her many loving friends. Mostly of all, a lot of her drawings are of her beloved Amity. Who is often drawn in excruciatingly accurate detail. Capturing all of her features and beauty. After taking a moment to fawn over her drawings of her amazing girlfriend, Luz unpacks her pencil case and places out each of her coloured pencils and stationary along her desk in an orderly fashion.

Now she is in the thick of drawing a portrait of her and Amity together. Once in which she hopes to give to her once she sees her again. She often loves to give Amity gifts in the form of the many drawings she makes for her. Normally for anyone else, they would have to commission Luz. But she will always take requests from her loved ones for free. Especially Amity who does not hesitate to bombard Luz with all the love and affection any partner can possibly muster when she receives such gifts. Such a trait from Amity is something Luz will never find herself taking for granted. She could never be sure about herself and always doubt her ability to do anything, but Amity would always be there to tell her the opposite. Same goes for her friends and her mother, but Amity often takes it upon herself to be the constant source of love and positive affirmation for her beloved girlfriend.

6:59 AM
Roughly two hours have passed since she awoke. Luz finds herself struggling to even start the drawing as she makes what she seems to be a good background to fit the scenario she has made for the art piece involving her and Amity.
"Do I want us having a picnic? or maybe we are out our special grom tree... Or maybe we are at my place having a cuddle on the couch??" She breathes a sigh of annoyance. "Note to self, Plan out your drawings before you spend an hour procrastinating"
Luz makes a decision to take a break from trying to draw. Opting into making breakfast seeing as it is now past seven AM. She walks downstairs to the kitchen area. Making sure to not stir her mother and her sister awake. She searches her pantry for something to make that won't make her have to put in too much work for something decent to eat. Settling on toast with a store brand chocolate hazelnut spread, one in which has almost been eaten down to a small amount but still enough for Luz to get at least one last meal out of it. The bread is put in the toaster and Luz, still in a drowsy state, does not pay much attention to what she puts the setting on the toaster as. After all is said and done. She sits at one of the stools lining her kitchen bench, fidgeting her fingers and daydreaming. She is snapped out her daze by a vibration coming from her phone. She takes the phone out of her onesie pocket and looks at the notification.

"Good morning carino~"
Amity's texting me? at seven in the morning? and how is she using her phone? Luz thinks to herself.
"Good morning am am! You're up and at em early?"
"Yeah i am, i woke up a bit early and got a bit bored so i came over by the portal to use my phone and checkup on you!"
Upon reading Amity state that she was currently at the portal, Luz's eyes brightened with delight.
"Wait r u at the portal?!? Come on over! i'm just about to have breakfast. You don't have to if you don't wanna tho i understand if ur busy"
Luz awaits with bated breath for Amity's response. After eating a minute approximately, Amity replies.
"Of course i'd love to come over! I haven't seen my little honey bunny in a few days hehe. I'll be over in a few!"
Without even waiting a moment Luz immediately offers to come and collect Amity from the portal shack. Not even dressed in anything but a onesie, Luz walks out the door over to the neighbouring house to welcome Amity into her world.
