Enid's New Dress

-9-

"Enid" Wednesday looked at the slightly taller girl as much in the eyes as possible, "I am not going to

Visibly shrinking slightly Enid drew into herself starting to fiddle with the hem of Wednesdays dress"Why not?"

"Because I am not going to pay a mercenary to assassinate you" continuing with an imperious look-was there an undertone of worry in her expression?-"I did not think you had those sorts of thoughts in your head"

Mouth open Enid stared slightly down at Wednesday from her seat on the raven haired girls lap. The grip on Wednesdays dresses hem had decreased to the extent that if Wednesday decided to spontaneously move, her dress wouldnt suddenly decide to part ways with her.

Wednesdays sharp eyes watched Enid in a calculating sort of way and managed to catch -to Enids dismay- the giggle working its way out of her throat. Head tiltong forward to rest on Wednesdays chest the blonde girl seemed to simply give up the fight letting herself free to shake in laughter that was entirely inappropriate for the situation that Wednesday currently found herself in before gulping in deep breaths of air while simultaneously trying to gasp out what was most likely supposed to be an important sentence.

After what seemed like an eternity Enid managed to calm her and her laughter down, notching it all the way down to a respectable snort of spontaneous laughed every minute or so "I meant you have to take me out on a date, Willa"

Oh, well that cleared things up quite nicely. In fact, it cleared them up so nicely that Wenesday gave her reply immediately with a promptness that would have shocked others "Well then of course I'll take you out" a smug smirk made its way across Wednesdays face as Enid seemed to turn a previously undiscovered shade of pink. Color really did look lovely on Enid. Enid and colors suited each other. Especially when it was that particular shade of pretty pink on that particular set of surprised cheeks.

Nervously breathing out as she played with her curls in what was probably supposed to be a calming motion Enid leaned in "When and where?"

"Next Friday evening"

Now it was Enids turn to be smug. At least it was in Enids opinion and in Wednesdays opinion Enids was the only ones that mattered. God it was hot when Enid was smug, the only issue with it was that when she was smug, well when she was smug, Enid had the astounding ability to make Wednesday blush. That was simply not acceptable in any universe but apparently it was going to happen anyways because Enid was getting very, very, close to her with that smug little grin that made her look impish on all the levels there could possibly be "Well that was quick, wasn't it Willa?"

Blast it all. Wednesday had been going for cool and unbothered but had apparently come off as way to prepared for something they both hadn't thought would happen for either of them. That thing would be being able to hopefully have romantic prospects with the other. When in doubt, go the confident way. That was Wednesdays motto. Not that she was ever in doubt or anything. But if she were this advice would hopefully get her through the next few minutes unscathed, hopefully "Why wouldn't I be thinking of you all the time? You offend me for thinking I wouldnt"

Satisfaction rippled its way through Wednesday at the blush that was sputtering Enids face and currently getting stronger by the moment. Riding the wave of confidence she'd gotten from simply fluttering the poor girl currently at her mercies Wednesday continued valiantly onwards "Any favorite hobbies or places in particular?"

A raised eyebrow and a questioning look were all she got at the moment.

"Just checking" because of course Wednesday knew everything she needed to know about the woman she was interested in. Including favorite music -it was some kpop band- and 4th favorite squishmallow-a creepy replica of thing- seriously, it was disturbing by this point. Wednesday felt watched whenever that thing was in slight view.
