Camila's footsteps can be heard coming from upstairs and eventually can be heard closer to the stairs. Both Luz and Amity just stand in complete silence and shock. Camila eventually enters the kitchen, looking as tired as ever and definitely not too happy to have been awoken by Luz's screaming.
"Mija, do you HAVE to scream this loud so early in the morning" She says with a look of mild disappointment on her face.
"So sorry momma! You can go back to bed I'm sorry!"
Camila goes to head back upstairs but notices Amity standing in the kitchen in the corner of her eye. A little smile spreads across her weary face.
"Oh good morning Amity! How are you carino? You are up so early!"
"Hi Camila! I'm good thank you, I couldn't stay in bed for too long so I wanted to come see Luz" She answers back.
"Oh well feel free to stay as long as you like dear, we are free all week"
"Oh thank you Camila! I won't be here for the whole week but I'd love to stay for a few nights with my Wiggly Wibbly" She says as she tickles Luz on the sides of her stomach.
Luz blushes and also becomes confused at the... Odd pet name to say the least, but she thinks Amity's attempt at making a cute and catchy pet name is incredibly adorable. She nuzzles her nose against Amity's nose and peppers her with little kisses on her cheeks.
"Okay well I'm going back to bed Mija, Keep it down please you two?"
"Of course momma, see ya soon!"
Camila waves at Luz and Amity before heading up the stairs and going back into her bedroom, closing the door behind her. The two girlfriends now look to each other, now at a loss as to what they should do.
"Wanna come sit down on the couch Am?"
"Of course!"
Amity lies down on the couch on her back and gestures for Luz to come over and snuggle with her. Luz gladly obliges and wriggles in between Amity's arms, making herself comfortable and resting her head on her chest. For a while, the two of them don't speak. They just cuddle with each other on that couch for minutes and minutes on end. Only the ambience of the outside world, the house clock, their breathing and their heartbeats can be heard.
Luz is finding that she is getting even sleepier the longer she spends in the comforting combines of the witchlets arms. To remedy this, every now and then she will look up to her beloved and give her a gentle kiss on her lips. After enough repeated cycles of Luz doing this with Amity however. They choose to break the silence.
"I'm sorry if this is a bit boring Amity. I don't really know what to do at the moment"
"Don't be silly Luz. You know I love having cuddles with you"
"I know It's just... I don't want you getting bored of me"
"What do you mean bored of you? Why would I get bored of you Luz? You are one of the most interesting and amazing people that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting"
Amity pauses, perhaps to help her words of comfort sink in with Luz. So she can fully understand how much that she means to Amity.
"You are the Light of my life sweetie! Every time I'm with you again, my love for you soars to even new heights! Not a single day has gone by since I found out I was crushing on you where I have ever taken your boundless enthusiasm and kindness for granted"
Those words from Amity. They cut deep into Luz, In a good way. She knew that Amity had always loved, cherished and cared for her. But she always finds herself in the vicious cycle of doubting that she is enough for Amity, Doubting that Amity can tolerate her sometimes and Doubting that Amity would ever want to stay with her in the future. She lays in silence for a while and takes in what Amity has told her. Debating with herself whether she should address these concerns with Amity.
"A-Amity... Can I talk to you about something on my mind?" Luz asks politely
Amity looks down to Luz with a concerned look on her face, worried about what Luz is possibly going to say to her. She lets Luz out of her arms so she and her can sit upright
"Of course you can sweetheart. Are you okay?"
Luz sits there, stammering over her words and thinking of the best way to word things as to not upset or worry Amity.
"Amity... I ummmm I-I... Am I good enough for you?" For some reason. Despite not being sad, Luz can't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes. 'Nonononono! Don't cry, Don't cry!' She frantically yelled out in her head. But she could not stop what was to come. If Amity showed the slightest little bit of concern or affection, the floodgates would be breached.
"Aw Luz, C'mere" She throws her arms around Luz. "Hey, are you crying Luz? It's okay, It's okay! Shhh shhh shh" She hold's Luz super tightly and runs her hands through her hair. Comforting her Girlfriend as she cries softly into her shoulder. "It's okay" She keeps repeatedly whispering in Luz's ear in a bid to comfort her crying lover.
"I'm so sorry Amity... I'm such a loser" She chuckles while wiping her tears from her cheeks.
"Luz I can tell you for a fact that you are most certainly not a loser. You have always been one to get emotional sometimes and that's completely okay! Nothing to hide from me or be ashamed of. And while we are on topic, You are more than good enough for me, I don't use this word often because I personally hate it. But you are perfect Luz. You are so, so, so perfect for me."
Amity takes a deep breath, in preparation to ramble on to Luz.
"Luz, You are for all intents and purposes, the most kind, caring, loving and beautiful girl in this universe. I cannot even begin to describe how much I love you for being you!"
"For being me? I donno Amity. I know I can be a bit much"
"Not to me! I love hearing you talk to me about your hyper-fixations and interests. Even if i hadn't the slightest clue as to what you are talking about! Do you know why?" She asks Luz
"Why?" She sniffles.
"Because seeing you happy. Is enough for me to get through any slump in my day"
She cusps Luz's cheeks with her hands ever so gently and pulls her in closer for a kiss.
"I just don't like making you worry about me, You have enough going on in your life at the moment"
"Luz there is never something going on in my personal life that is so bad, that you can't come and talk to me. I'm always going to be there for you my sweet"
She holds Luz so tightly. Tight enough where it's still comfortable for Luz but still very firm. She gently kisses Luz all over her face. Then holding her head close to her with one hand on the back of her head and the other wrapped around her back. She had no idea why her girlfriend had just suddenly broke down in her arms. It's not the first time something like this has happened. Far from it, but it always raises concern for Amity.
"Has somebody or something made you feel like this Luz?"
"N-No! Not at all. Its just a me problem. I guess it's been bought about by school stresses and me just being a doofus"
"You are not a doofus Luz"
"I'm your doofus~" She jokes.
The two girls giggle at each other and cuddle some more.
"Do you want to do anything now? Sorry for the little breakdown" Luz apologises to Amity
"Don't be sorry my dear. I donno what to do though"
"Do you wanna play Mario Kart in my room?"
"You know how much I SUCK at that silly game of yours"
"Haha yeah, Tis' why I choose it whenever your over" Luz teases Amity.
"Oh that's IT"
Amity brings Luz in close and hugs and squeezes her tightly. Like a very cute version of a chokehold, granted she would never actually hurt Luz in any way. After Luz playfully wrestles herself free of Amity's grasp. She races her witch girlfriend up the stairs, eager to beat her and be the first one on the Nintendo switch.
