The Confession A Leap Into Love

---

One day, after a particularly insightful therapy session, mrs thornhill encouraged Wednesday to confess her feelings for Enid. Recognizing how deeply Enid cared for her mrs thornhill gently urged Wednesday to take the leap. After a few moments of contemplation and coaxing, Wednesday finally agreed.

Enid's friends were eager to support her, so they planned for Wednesday to take Enid on a midnight walk to stargaze, setting the perfect backdrop for Wednesday to reveal her feelings.

And upon their return to the dorm, they would find it transformed into a cozy movie night haven, featuring a massive fort brimming with snacks, candies, and sodas, all aglow with twinkling yellow fairy lights. This magical setup was the result of Wednesday and Enid's friends' meticulous planning, ensuring that the evening would be unforgettable. The stage was perfectly set for their special moment.

That night, as Wednesday and Enid went about their own activities, Wednesday began getting dressed with purpose. She soon invited Enid to join her outside, and Enid eagerly agreed, slipping into a comfortable outfit in cheerful colors.

Taking Enid's hand in hers, Wednesday led her into the woods, where a cozy, colorful blanket awaited them, adorned with yellow lanterns. Enid gazed at Wednesday in awe. "You did this?! It's beautiful! Thank you!" she exclaimed, pulling Wednesday into a tight hug. Realizing her mistake, she quickly released her, saying, "Sorry! I forgot you don't like hugs."

But Wednesday pulled her back into the embrace. "I don't like hugs from anyone else, but you're the exception," she admitted, a blush creeping across her cheeks. Enid felt warmth wash over her, thrilled that she had helped Wednesday find a little happiness. There was still a long way to go, but Enid knew she would never leave Wednesday's side.

After they settled onto the blanket and chatted comfortably for a while, it was finally time for Wednesday to share what was on her heart.

"Hey, Enid," Wednesday said, turning to face her.

"Yeah, what's up?" Enid replied, shifting her gaze from the stars back to Wednesday, curiosity sparkling in her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Wednesday felt a rush of emotions swirling inside her. "I've been thinking a lot about us-about everything we've been through and how much you mean to me. It's strange for me to say this, but I've never really let anyone in the way I have with you. You've seen parts of me that I've kept hidden for so long, and somehow, you've made me feel... alive.

"I know I can be difficult and cold, but you bring out something in me that I didn't know was there-warmth, light, and even joy. I've come to realize that you make me a better version of myself, and that scares me because I care so deeply about you.

"So, I just want to be honest with you. I'm in love with you, Enid. I've tried to deny it, to push it away, but I can't anymore. You're my exception, my bright spot in a world that often feels dark. I don't want to lose what we have. I want to be with you, if you'll have me."

With that, Wednesday pulled out a stunning bouquet of rainbow glitter roses, each one carefully crafted and adorned with shimmering glitter.

As she held them out to Enid, her voice trembled slightly, her heart pounding as she awaited Enid's response.

Enid's eyes widened in surprise, tears welling up as she exclaimed, "Yes, yes, a million times yes!" With that, she leaped into Wednesday's arms, and they both chuckled, their laughter filling the air. As they locked eyes, Wednesday declared, "I love you."

"I love you too," Enid replied, her smile widening. "I've loved you for a while now," she added with a soft chuckle.

In response, Wednesday pulled Enid into a tender kiss, murmuring, "As did I." After breaking the kiss a moment later, she asked, "Sorry, was that too much?"

Without missing a beat, Enid drew Wednesday into a deep, passionate kiss, one that Wednesday eagerly reciprocated. After a few blissful minutes, they finally pulled away, hands intertwined, ready to head back to their dorm together, the warmth of the moment lingering between them.

When they returned to their dorm, Wednesday playfully covered Enid's eyes. "Hey, what's that for?" Enid asked, curious.

"I have a surprise," Wednesday replied, using her free hand to open the door. As she lifted her hand from Enid's eyes, she revealed a stunning masterpiece created by her, Enid, and their friends-a magnificent fort filled with snacks, soda, candy, and a movie player.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Enid jumped into Wednesday's arms, showering her with kisses. After a few moments, they dashed into the fort, closing the door behind them. Snuggled up next to each other, they settled in to watch the movie, cherishing each other's presence. In that blissful moment, they wished for nothing more than to stay like this together forever.
