The Art of Love - Lumity Human AU

Chapter 37

Luz POV:

After school ended, I started walking home with Luna. We were talking about the Good Witch Azura, and the different ships. When I reached my house, I said a quick goodbye to Luna and stepped inside.

I pulled out my phone and asked Amity if she could come to my house at 4:00. Then, after confirming that she was coming over, I sprinted upstairs. I wanted to clean my room, or at least make it look presentable. After picking up stray papers and clothes on the floor, I scanned the room for anything else, before checking the clock.

I cleaned my room and have time to spare! I should probably lock Vee in her room or something...

I was about to yell for Vee when I heard the doorbell echo downstairs. I ran as fast as I could down the stairs, but when I reached, I was greeted with the sight of Vee opening the door, smirking.

"Hey Luz's girlf-" Vee started.

I pushed her away from the door and smiled at Amity.

"Ow!" Vee yelled, and I could hear her stomping up the stairs and (hopefully) into her room, where she couldn't disturb us. Unfortunately, she reached the top of the stairs and stayed there, watching us.

"Hey Amity!" I smiled nervously. "Sorry about that."

Her cheeks were dusted pink, and she was nervously wringing her fingers together.

"Hello." She muttered, giving me a wobbly grin.

"You wanna go upstairs?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Sure, why not?"

As we walked upstairs, my eyes met Vee's, and I paused, giving her a "don't you dare interfere, or else" look.

She responded with a smirk, and mouthed, "No promises~." I gritted my teeth and grabbed Amity's hand, lacing our fingers together. Amity let out a little squeak and muttered something unintelligible under her breath.

"Let's go to my room. We can have some privacy there." I said, then glared at Vee again, who had started scrolling through her phone. She looked up and gave a sugary-sweet smile, which sent chills down my spine. A smile like that definitely meant that she was up to no good.

I shivered, then led Amity to my room, our hand still intertwined.

~third person pov~

Luz opened the door, and the two walked into the room. Click. Amity heard the door lock, and she tried to slow her racing heart.

"W-wow! Y-your room looks amazing." She stammered, then fell quiet. Luz hopped on to her bed and patted the space next to it.

"Come on! You can sit here and we can discuss our ideas for the project." Luz looked at Amity expectantly, waiting for a response.

"Me, on a bed, with Luz, in a locked room?!!" Amity thought, her cheeks flaming.

"Uhh...are you okay?" Luz asked, tilting her head. "You look really...red." Her eyes widened in surprise and she exclaimed, "Oh no! Do you have a fever?! Hold on, lemme check." She placed her hand on Amity's forehead, and lined her forehead with Amity's.

They gazed into each other's eyes for a moment, and time seemed to slow down. Luz saw Amity's face turning redder and redder, especially starting from her nose. It was almost like-

"OH MY GOD!" Luz screamed, and Vee rammed into the room with a butcher's knife in her hand.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?! WHO DIED? WHERE'S THE-oh, it's just you Luz."

"Wait, why is Amity bleeding? Luz, you dare hit a woman? Shame on you! I am so disappointed."

"What the-noo." Luz groaned, slapping her forehead. "Iwasjust checkingtoseeifshehadafeverandthenhernosestartedbleeding."

"Slow down." Vee said with a slight smirk on her face. She leaned closer to Luz and whisper-asked, "Did she get a nosebleed from looking at you?"

Luz turned bright red and smacked Vee on the shoulder, who howled dramatically in pain. "You didn't need to show me what you did to Amity." She mumbled, rubbing her shoulder and walking to my room's door.

"Do you want to go wash your face in the bathroom?" Luz asked. Amity nodded, and Luz led her to the bathroom near her room.

"Thanks." She said in barely a whisper.

"No problem." Luz smiled gently.

Amity hurriedly went to the bathroom and shut the door, her cheeks flaming red. After splashing her face a couple times with water she stared at the mirror, contemplating what had happened.

"Luz was so close that I could've kissed her. Wait, don't think that, you weirdo! She's your friend" Amity shook her head before heading outside of the bathroom. She gave one last glance at the mirror, trying to make sure it didn't look like she was a tomato or anything.

She opened the door and saw Vee standing across from Luz, arguing about something. However, when Vee heard the door creak, she turned around to face Amity and smirked.

"Wow Luz. Can't believe you got her out of the closet~."

"First of all, that's not a closet, it's a bathroom, and second, that doesn't even make sense!" Luz exclaimed, raising her hand and trying to hit Vee.

Vee dodged the hit and muttered, "Yeah, yeah, I'll get going now. Just because your girlfriend's over doesn't mean you need to physically abuse me."

Before Luz could correct Vee, she was gone, leaving Amity and Luz alone together in her room.

What could possibly go wrong?
