Luz walks to school, her thoughts louder than Gus's blabbering about Palisman selection.

"Luz? Are you okay?" Before Luz gets the chance to answer, Gus stops walking. Luz snaps out of her funk.

"Oh, hey Amity! Wanna walk with us!"

AMITY?

No no no, Luz mentally pleaded. Too soon too soon too soon-

"I almost didn't recognize you! nice hair!" Gus adds chipperly.

Amity, who was standing under a tree, stayed silent with the air trapped in her cheeks, making her look like a chipmunk. Her cheeks were red and she was gripping the bottom of her shirt; which Luz had noticed she did a lot when they were together.

"Amity? You okay?"

"Ah," Amity says, her cheeks deflating. She blinks a few times. "Yes. I am doing okay, Agustus. Hello Luz."

"Hey Amity," Luz's voice is strained.

Gus looks at Luz. Then Amity. 

"Oookay, I think it's obvious that there's something going on here." Gus narrows his eyes, smiling.

"What???" Amity tries to laugh, and it comes out as a high-pitched sound of desperation.

"I'll leave you guys to it. Imma look for Willow."

With that, he runs off, leaving 

Luz..

Amity..

...and this awkward air remaining 

...after the kiss.

Luz walks up to Amity. 

"Like your hair," Luz says chipperly.

"Ah, thanks."

"So.." She draws spirals on the back of her hand with her finger. "Are we gonna address the elephant in the room?"

Amity raises an eyebrow. 

"Pardon?"

Luz blushes, embarrassed. "Uhm, figure of speech. So, are we gonna talk about the fact that...uhm, the fact that you, yknow kissed me?"

"Mm!" Amity emits a shocked squeak, her cheeks pink. She tucks a strand of purple hair behind her pointy ear. "Uh..well-"

"Do you regret it?" Luz's brown eyes look into Amity's golden ones with anticipation. "Amity Blight, do you like me?"

Amity, who is now red to all hell, looks Luz in the eye. "What do you think?!" she whisper-shouts. "Of course I like you, Noceda!" 

Luz can't help it; seeing Amity all flustered and powerless like this made her heart heart skip a beat. She couldn't help but admire the girl. Amity couldn't bear to make eye contact. Luz noticed she was trembling slightly. Was she really this scared of vulnerability? Only one thought entered Luz's head now. She wanted to make Amity feel safe. Unsure of her boundaries, she decided it would be best not to touch her. Even if she desperately want to take her hand and profess her love.

"What.. What's with that look on your face?" Amity inquired.

Luz suddenly became aware of the goofy grin she had on.

"I really really really like you Amity," Luz spat, her eyes practically hearts,

"I..like you too, Luz." Amity says. "I had already said that." Amity looks Luz in the eyes now, a soft smile adorning her face. 

"I don't mind telling you again though... and no, I don't regret it... unless you didn't like it."

Luz snickers.

"What?!" Amity laughs, her smile matching Luz.

"You dumb-dumb. Of course I liked it!" Luz exclaimed.

Okay Luz, you can do this, she thought to herself. Be cool, be smooth. 

"So if we both like eachother.. does that mean you can kiss me somewhere else now?"

"Wha..What?!" After a few beats, Amity clears her throat, taking two nervous and stiff steps until her face is inches from Luz. 

ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodthereisnowayijustsaidthat, Luz internally panicked.

Amity leaned in slowly until her lips met Luz's. Amity was somewhat shocked by the softness of Luz's lips, now painfully aware of how chapped hers are. She moved her hands to Luz's cheeks. Luz put her hands on top of Amity's. 

After about three seconds, Amity was the first to pull away. She looked at Luz with wide eyes, stunned. 

"Your hands are cold..." was all Luz managed to get out. Amity covered her face in embarrassment, letting out a symphony of muffled apologies.

Luz took one of her hands in her own. "It wasn't a complaint."

"Well, now there's only-"

"Luz there's something I need to-"

The girls look each other in the eyes and burst into giggles.

"Okay okay, you can say it," Amity grinned.

"Amity Blight, do you want to be my girlfriend?" 

"Yes!" Amity exclaimed.

"Okay!!" Luz said excitedly. "Now c'mon, we're late!" Luz took Amity's hand and ran in the direction of the school. Amity looked down at their joined hands.

I could get used to this, she thought.
