the air was thick with an eerie quiet as the clock struck midnight in the addams household. shadows danced along the walls, lit only by the flickering light of a candle on the small table between two twin beds. the atmosphere always seemed heavier in the house, like a perpetual fog of secrets and darkness lingered just beneath the surface. it was a place where the macabre was not only accepted but celebrated. yet, despite the oddities that surrounded them, you found comfort in sharing this space with wednesday addams.

wednesday was everything you admired: intelligent, stoic, and unapologetically herself. she exuded a dark allure that pulled you in like a moth to a flame. you had grown closer over the months as roommates, the air thick with an unspoken tension that neither of you dared to acknowledge. it was a fine line between friendship and something more, one you treaded cautiously, aware that crossing it could change everything.

that night, however, you sought a momentary escape from the swirling thoughts in your mind. after a long day filled with classes and the complexities of life, you found yourself sitting on the windowsill, the cool night air whispering against your skin. in your hand rested a cigarette, the end glowing a faint orange in the dim light. you brought it to your lips and inhaled deeply, the smoke curling around you like a cloak.

the first drag was always the best, a sweet release that dulled the sharp edges of reality. you leaned your head back, enjoying the solitude, unaware of the figure silently observing you from the shadows.

"you do realize that smoking can kill you?" wednesday's voice broke the silence, cool and measured, like a blade gliding through the air.

you turned, startled, the cigarette barely hanging from your lips. "and you do realize that's the whole point?" you replied, your tone laced with defiance. there was an edge of excitement in being caught, a thrill that mingled with the smoke you exhaled.

wednesday's brow arched in curiosity, her expression as unreadable as ever. "you're reckless," she stated matter-of-factly, stepping closer, the candlelight illuminating her pale skin and dark braided hair. "you're allowing your desire for a fleeting moment of pleasure to put your life in jeopardy."

you couldn't help but smirk at her seriousness. "aren't you the queen of embracing the dark side? why do you care?"

"because," she said, her tone shifting slightly, "i don't want to watch you die for the sake of a cigarette. it's foolish."

the tension between you thickened, the air charged with unspoken feelings. "you're really acting like you care," you shot back, annoyance bubbling beneath your cool exterior. "maybe it's not about the smoking for me. maybe it's about the thrill of living on the edge."

before you could respond further, wednesday moved swiftly, snatching the cigarette from your fingers and tossing it out the window. you blinked, taken aback by her sudden movement. "what the hell?" you exclaimed, anger boiling inside you. "that was my last one!"

"good," she replied, unflinching, her dark eyes fixed on you. "you need to stop."

you felt your frustration rise as you paced the small room, your heart racing. "you have no right to dictate my choices, wednesday! it was just a cigarette. it's my body."
