Opposites attract

The wrong confessions

Lansel's pov:

-"watch it! Fuck, can you believe he cut me like that? Ugh and across my poor face too"
Xavier complains as I dab the blood from his wound with a damp cloth. I roll my eyes and press a little harder.
-"ow! You did that on purpose!"
-"oh did I?"
He glares up at me.
-"you act as though nothing you did to Enid was on purpose, I just don't see your end goal here"
I reply.
-"I didn't see you rushing to help her"
....he's right.
-"she's not an Addams"
He says.
-"you guys would only care if she was part of the Addams or Frump family, did I prove me point?"
He asks. I put my head down and walk over to grab an ice pack.
-"did I?"
-"I see...I see what you were trying to do. Yes I'd say you've proved your point"

I reply, tossing the ice pack to him. I lean against the wall as I look at him.
-"my aunt'll probably congratulate you"
-"I hope so"
He responds.
-"Wednesday might kill you"
-"we'll see"

Leon's pov:

-"so...you and Enid dated?"
I ask, helping Ajax take his shirt off, making sure not to remove his hat.
-"yeah kinda I guess"
-"what happened?"
-"we both lost feelings I guess, romantic feelings I mean"
He replies.
-"oh"
I begin wrapping a bandage around his side where he had been stabbed. It's not a deep wound because of how small the spears are, thank god.
-"do you...think I'd have a shot?"
I ask.

-"with Enid?"
He asks. I nod.
-"maybe if she wasn't dating Wednesday, I dunno"
-"wait huh?"
She's dating Wednesday? He looks at me confused.
-"couldn't you tell they were dating?"
He asks. I think for a moment. I guess Wednesday was quite affectionate. That would explain a lot.
-"I suppose that was obvious, I don't know how I didn't know"
I reply.
-"she she's...gay?"
I ask. He nods.
-"yeah bro, pretty sure"
Damn...

Wednesday you lucky bitch...

Wednesday's pov:

I walk into the kitchen where Xavier and Lansel are.
-"you can leave"
I say to Lansel, he nods and walks back out. Xavier puts his head down.
-"you purposely hurt Enid and went out of your way to be vicious about it, her foot is more than likely broken"
He doesn't reply.
-"Enid and some of the others had told me of your anger issues and more specifically this...rivalry you have going on with Enid but I chose to dismiss it"
Again he doesn't respond.
-"what is it you have against her? What was the point of this?"
I ask.

He looks up at me, his hair covering part of his face and a bandage covering one of his eyes. He sighs.
-"I like you Wednesday"
He says finally. My eyes widen in shock.
-"was that not obvious enough?"
He asks. I think for a moment.
-"I see....so Enid was right"
I reply. He looks away again.
-"I- I wanted to impress you and your family but I got carried away with my anger towards Enid. She...she doesn't deserve you Wednesday, believe me or don't but she's flirty with your cousin and I just know she and that Emma girl have something going on"

I don't want to hear this...
-"you wanted to impress me and my family?"
I ask. He nods.
-"but I uh guess I kinda blew it huh?"
-"quite the contrary actually, my family was quite impressed"
-"y-yeah?"
He asks, with a slight smile. I nod.
-"but I take it you weren't..."
He says, looking away sadly again.
-"I'm....conflicted."
I reply.
-"on one hand I didn't think you'd have it in you to do something like that, especially in front of a lot of people"
He nods.
-"but on the other...well you hurt my girlfriend Xavier."

-"I know...I'll apologize to her ri-"
-"no"
I say, before he can finish his sentence.
-"I don't want you seeing or talking to her again"
-"what?"
-"clearly you can't control your anger towards her or your feelings towards me. Do me a favor and leave. Tonight if you can but if not leave after Christmas"
I say, waving my hand as I walk towards the door.
-"wait what!? Wednesday wait!"
He leaps off the counter and grabs my shoulder, I turn to look at him. What is he not understanding? What could he possibly have to say? He looks at me for a moment and then quickly leans forward, interlocking our lips.

His eyes are closed but mine remain open as I try to process what's happening. His lips are surprisingly soft and then he begins to slip his tongue through, this is when I push him off. I don't say a word and just look at him.
-"that was..."
-"awful"
I reply.
-"h-huh??"
I shake my head.
-"just leave Xavier"
I say, walking out of the room.

Enid's pov:

My eyes start to open a bit and suddenly the pain starts to return. I try to sit up as best as I can and look to see my foot now in a cast. That dick really broke my leg...fuck. Lurch groans, startling me a bit. He hands me a cup of water and the remote to an old TV he's rolled in front of the bed. He pats my head and then leaves the room. I sigh and try to lean forward to see through the window. I can't see the festivities or the competition but I sure can hear it. My guess is Wednesday's next. Honestly I can't believe she's still competing, shouldn't she be here with me?

Whatever. I sigh and grab my phone from the nightstand. Missed call from dad, 1 text from dad, 1 text from mom, 1 text from chase, 1 text from yoko, 2 texts from Emma. I smile a bit but before I reply to anyone I notice the door begin to creep open. Wednesday? Is the competition over or did she maybe drop out to be with me? The door opens and...oh. It's Leon.
-"hey Enid, how ya doin'?"
He asks, shyly entering the room.
-"hey Leon I'm...honestly so confused as to what happened. Like I can't even believe he broke my foot!"
I say, growing angrier as I think about it.
-"hmm so Wednesday's really not here huh?"
He asks. Tears begin to form in my eyes again. I mean really is it too much to ask that my girlfriend stay with me while I'm INJURED!?

-"ughh!! Warum ist sie so eine Idiotin!? Du bist im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ein Engel, aber sie konnte ihren Stolz nicht für EIN einziges Match aufgeben, um mit dir zusammen zu sein!?"
He suddenly yells. He almost looks more upset than I do. He sighs and drags a chair to my bed. He takes a seat and covers his face in his hands.
-"hey Leon, are...you ok?"
I ask, genuinely concerned.
-"no"
I replies.
-"I'm really not. Heartbroken in fact, and angry towards my own cousin..."
-"Wednesday?"
I ask.
-"what happened? Did I miss something?"

-"I talked to Ajax"
He says.
-"you two dated?"
He asks. I nod.
-"yes...we did. Why?"
He sighs.
-"and you and Wednesday are dating?"
-"we are. Though at the moment it doesn't feel like it"
I reply, muttering the last bit to myself.
-"I see"
He replies.
-"it's just not fair, your too good for her. She didn't even go to help you!"
He yells. Believe me I know she didn't. I'm quite upset about that myself.

Leon gets up and gets on top of me.
-"uh l-Leon..."
-"I know it's only been 2 but I like you Enid!"
He says. My eyes widen. Leon...likes me??
-"I-"
I can't think of a way to respond. He then looks down to my lips and begins to lean in. His lips touch mine and I quickly push him off.
-"Leon- Wednesday??"
Leon's face drops and he quickly falls off the bed, turning to look at Wednesday standing in the doorway. She's breathing really heavily.
-"Wednesday"
He says.
-"no."
She says very sternly.

He stands up.
-"Was... die... TATSÄCHLICHE HÖLLE!"
She yells, throwing her fencing helmet down.
