Wednesday Addams does NOT like touching; Enid tends to forget this. Little does Xavier know, she secretly enjoys his.

............

Wednesday woke in her shared dorm room at exactly 9:00. Actually, Wednesday didn't wake up. She was woken up. By some extremely loud Ariana Grande. And a colorful werewolf leaping around.

Wednesday groaned at the sight, slamming her face into her pillow.

"Wednesssdayyy, today is your date with Xavierrrrr!!"

Wednesday shot up. She hadn't forgotten (She was an Addams, she didn't forget) she had simply let the plan slip her mind. 

"WEDNESDAY ADDAMS! DON'T TELL ME YOU FORGOT!"

"I didn't forget."

Enid nodded sarcastically. 

"Honey, you have 4 hours till your date at 1."

"Fantastic."

"You need to shower, eat, do your hair, makeup, pick an outfit..."

Wednesday blocked her out.

"I'm gonna go shower."

Wednesday left, hearing Enid squeal something that sounded a lot like "Step one to a nice date: Shower!"

...........

When Wednesday came back, hair still damp from her shower, Enid ran over and hugged her. Wednesday pushed her away. She could see the hurt flash in Enid's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by excitment.

"So, I collected over 20 different makeup looks, 13 hairstyles, and 32 outfit inspiration pictures!"

Wednesday knew she was too far along to stop Enid, so she gave a sort of half shrug and sighed.

"No color."

Enid cheered, leaping and tackling Wednesday, who barley could stay on her feet. 

"Ok, so let's start with hairrr..."

After about 15 minutes, Wednesday finally decided on a half-up half-down looks, braid connecting to meet at the back of her head.

"Oh Em GEEE you look so gorgeous! It's like, hot, but cute at the same time!!"

Some more squealing sounded from the pastel werewolf. 

"Let's get the rest done before I lose my mind."

Wednesday scrolled through every makeup image, not finding anything that really screamed WEDNESDAY. 

"You know, you don't have to pick from the pictures, we could do our own."

Wednesday nodded, agreeing woefully to let Enid do her makeup.

 After sitting still for almost 25 minutes, Enid backed away, seemingly impressed by her own work.

It was a delicate brown eye shadow, with a smoky edge and intense eyeliner. Wednesday didn't recognize herself. 

"Ok, scratch the cute. You look HOT."

Wednesday shrugged, clicking on the outfit pictures. Her eyes spotted an outfit. She dropped the phone, turning and running to her closet to see if she had anything to match. 

She locked the closet door behind her, in case she changed in there. she pulled up fishnet stockings, mid-calf high dark grey socks, a flowing black tennis skirt, and a black hoodie with cuts in the sleeves. She put on black army boots and stepped out of the closet. 

Enid's eyes widened. 

"Xavier's gonna fall for you all over again!!!"

Wednesday looked at the clock. She was supposed to walk to Xavier's shed, and be there by 1. It was currently 12:45.

"I should get going."

"Of course bestie! Wouldn't want to miss your hot date!"

She almost hugged Wednesday, backing up right before they met. 

"Thank you Enid." Wednesday said, and left.

...........

When Wednesday knocked on the door to Xavier's shed, she heard loud rustling, then Xavier opened the door. He was wearing a simple band tee shirt, and grey sweatpants. She had the irrational fear of overdressing, and then realized she dressed like this everyday, so that wouldn't be a problem.

"You look...Really hot."

Coming from Enid, those words were as good as "You look nice." but coming from Xavier...she could feel her cheeks heat up.

"You look...normal."

Xavier chuckled sweeping a loose strand of hair behind his ear.

"So I was thinking we could watch a movie, then go out for a sort of lunch-dinner thing?"

"As long as we don't watch Legally Blonde."

"Ew, that movie should be renamed 'Legally Bland".

(Not hating on the movie...I actually love that movie.)

They leaned over and picked out a movie, they had settled on Poltergeist. 

.............

Around the period of time where the girl was sucked into the TV, Xavier shifted and attempted to put his arm around her, but stopped and put it back down, remembering she didn't like physical touch.

She grabbed his arm, silently without even sparring him a glance, and placed it around herself. He was visibly shocked, but recovered quickly and calmed back down. 

When the movie ended, They got up and he said "Do you wanna go out to eat, or wanna stay here?"

Wednesday wanted more time alone with Xavier. "Stay."

So Xavier taught Wednesday to paint.  He wrapped his hand around to guide hers. She leaned into him, enjoying his touch. 

"You know, I never liked when Enid touched me, but when you do, it's like sparks;. I like it."

He smiled,turning her in her stool to face him. "I like it too."

And he kissed her, sending sparks from her mouth, to her fingertips, then down to her stomach.

"Wednesday, I get physical touch isn't your thing. And that's ok. But I do need you to draw boundaries, so I don't make you uncomfortable."

"I draw boundaries with Enid, but for you I don't really need to. I don't think there's a boundary to cross."

So he kissed her again, her simply enjoying his touch.

.......

"YOU KISSED?!"

"Enid, I already told you this."

"WEDNESDAY, YOU KISSED XAVIER!!"

"Xavier kissed me."

"Same difference."

"Are you going to ask him to be your boyfriend??"

"Well, as of last night, I was his girlfriend, and he is my boyfriend."

"WEDNESDAY!"

.............

Well....not sure if I like this one.

Tried to give a little more to the Enid-Wednesday friendship dynamic. 

Tell me what you think!! I love hearing ways I can improve!
