Thing's potion (pt. 2)

Thing's pov:

Enid opens the door and spots me.
-"oh hey Thing, where's wens?"
She asks, looking around. I gesture towards Wednesday's bed where she is lying wrapped in her black sheets.
-"ohhh, rough night without me? She's normally up way before now"
She says, with slight surprise.
*I made a drink and I don't think she took it well, I must've messed up the recipe like all the other failed ones*
I say.
-"aww Thing I'm sure Wednesday's fine, besides, how long she been asleep?"
She asks, now kneeling by Wednesday's desk that I'm still on.
*maybe 4 hours*
I reply. Enid frowns. She thinks for a moment and then shrugs.

-"oh well, I'll wake her up right now. I need her help coming up with a theme and strategy for the poe cup this year. Me and Yoko figure since she's basically the reason we won last year it couldn't hurt to have her help again"
She says, walking over to Wednesday. Yeah I'm sure Wednesdays fine by now, it seemed like something she'd just need to sleep off anyways.

Enid's pov:

I look down at the small sleeping girl. She looks so precious when resting. Her skin is pale and her dark pink lips are ever so parted and her bangs just barely cover her resting eyes. I have just the cutest best friend and....its torture. I sigh and throw off her covers as best I can which of course doesn't do anything since she prefers the cold.
-"Wednesdayyyy"
I say in a singy tone as I gently shake her. She hardly budges. I begin shaking her with two hands a bit more rough now.
-"Wednesday come on you sleepy head! I need your help"
She groans and stretches awake, keeping her eyes closed.
-"Enid wha-..."
Her voice trails off as she looks at me, seemingly stunned. I tilt my head to the side as I look down at her. What could have her so shocked. She sits up, clears her throat and stares down at her sheets, refusing to look at me.

-"Enid."
She says very sternly.
-"have you...always had those little freckles around your nose?"
What kinda question is that?
-"uh...yeah?"
I reply.
-"jeez Wens you ok?"
I ask. I lean down a bit to look at her and notice her cheeks are flushed a bright red.
-"woah..."
I say quietly. This is quite a lot of color for Wednesday.
-"Wens I think you might have a fever"
I say, pushing back her bangs and placing my hand on her forehead. She looks up at me and doesn't seem like her totally calm and collected self.

Huh...she must not be feeling well. The redness on her face only deepens but she doesn't really feel warm. I push her down so that her head is back on her pillow.
-"well damn. Thing do you think you could fetch me a thermometer?"
I ask. He gives me a thumbs up and scurries off. Suddenly I'm met with a soft grip around my wrist, taking me by surprise.
-"y'know... there is another way you could check"
She says, looking up into my eyes. Now I feel like I have a fever. I can feel as blush creeps onto my cheeks as I look into Wednesdays dark tired eyes.
-"y-yeah?"
I manage to reply. She nods, not breaking eye contact.

-"ok...how do you want me to check?"
I ask, not wanting to look away from her gorgeous eyes pulling me in more. I don't know what's wrong with me. I have Ajax but Wednesday... well I mean come on. Would YOU not fall for her? She's utterly gorgeous, even if she is straight and I'm supposed to be.
-"like this"
She says, slowly leaning up and suddenly...our lips meet. Her eyes shut as mine widen. Is this....is this really happening?? She deepens the kiss and I give in, shutting my eyes as she lightly brushes her tongue against my bottom lip. Asking me to open which I gladly do. Her tongue moves in and dances across mine and I get onto the bed, moving on top of her. She grabs me by the collar as we kiss but I pull away.

I look down at her, breathing heavy now, while she keeps her grip on my collar.
What. Just. Happened?
