Unlovable | Wednesday Addams

26

The walk to Wednesday's dorm room was quiet, as though Wednesday was deep in thought. As soon as they walked through the doors, Wednesday made a beeline for her typewriter and began typing without a word to her guest. Evelyn smiled, shaking her head gently as she flopped onto Wednesday's bed.

It smelled like her.

"So. Did you ask me here to just watch you type?" Evelyn asked, splayed out on Wednesday's bed. The girl gave her a sidelong glance before turning back away quickly.

"I require absolute silence to write my novel to the utmost creativity," Wednesday countered, continuing to type.

"Then I suppose I'll just go to sleep, then," Evelyn yawned, reaching down to cover herself with Wednesday's blanket. Wednesday's eye twitched.

"Do as you please, Evelyn."

"I like it when you say my name," Evelyn said suddenly, her voice soft. She saw Wednesday's jaw tick.

"You know what I think, Evelyn?" Wednesday heaved a sigh, pausing her typing to walk over to her.

"What do you think, Wednesday Addams?" Evelyn teased,.

"I think you're using your Charmspeak on me," she said confidently. Evelyn snorted, feeling her cheeks colour.

"Oh, honey. My Charmspeak only works on people who are attracted to me." She looked at Wednesday, her eyebrows raised.

Wednesday blinked at her.

"Look at that, you just blinked." Evelyn sat up and crossed her legs beneath the covers. "Now, tell me, why on Earth would you think I was using my charmspeak on you?"

"I-It's just that-" Wednesday fumbled, looking a little flustered again.

Evelyn didn't say anything and waited for Wednesday to continue.

"I find it difficult to say no to you. Every time I'm around you, it's like I'm being electrocuted. Usually I enjoy that because I have control but it doesn't feel like I have that control at all. And yet, for some reason, I still crave being around you." Wednesday clenched her fists, staring at a spot above Evelyn's head.

Evelyn stood up, feeling a buzz that seemed to rush through her bones. "I'll admit that my life has never been as crazy as it has been since you came into it. But I love it, I haven't felt this alive in a while. It's...it's really nice."

As if of their own accord, Wednesday's hands cupped her face, sending chills racing through Evelyn's body and just like that, their lips crashed against each other. Evelyn stumbled back a step before her hands settled on Wednesday's waist and kissed her harder. Wednesday's left hand gently caressed Evelyn's face with a tenderness no one could have expected. Wednesday's lips felt cold against hers but that was just about everything Evelyn could compute at the time as she desperately held onto the moment.
