Music Under the Spotlight (Lumity Band Au)

Heart attack

Luz POV: 

I woke up, but I didn't open my eyes. My body felt warm all over, and I could hear the soft sound of Amity's heart thumping in my ears, mixed with the sound of her humming. She had an arm wrapped around my shoulders, softly rubbing my upper arm. It was almost enough to lull me back to sleep. 

Then, a pain shot up my side, ruining the moment. Letting out a low hiss, I gritted my teeth. Amity gave my arm a little squeeze, her humming pausing for a moment. "Morning." She said softly, making me open my eyes. 

Blinking a few times to clear my cloudy vision, I stretched my free arm out, finding that the other one was trapped under Amity. Glancing  the witch, I found she was reading some kind of book, and beside her, floating in the air was a piece of paper and a pen, quickly scribbling down notes. 

"Morning cariño. You're comfy..." I croaked out in a husky voice, nuzzling a little closer to the witch. She stiffened up slightly, then quickly loosened up, flipping a page in her book. "How long have you been up?" I asked, closing my eyes. 

"A little while now." She said, her eyes darting across the page. "Didn't want to move and wake you though..." I hummed in response, opening my eyes once again. "How are you feeling?" She asked in return, making me shrug. Outside the door, I could hear the muffled sound of Edric and Emira's voices, their footsteps moving by Amity's door before going away. 

"Better." I muttered, focusing on the book in Amity's hand. Squinting my eyes, I struggled to read the words. "At least, better than yesterday."  I paused for a moment, noticing how Amity's ears twitched. "What're you reading?"

"That's good. And I'm just reading something I had Em get me from the owl lady." Amity mumbled, sticking out her tongue slightly as she furrowed her eyebrows together. "How would you say that?" She asked, her voice so soft that I almost didn't hear her. 

"Say what?" I asked, picking my head up off of her shoulder for a moment to get a better look at her book. "¿A dónde vas?" I read, my eyes widening. "Wait hold on, is that a book about Spanish?" Excitement quickly rose in my voice, making Amity squeak. 

She slammed the book shut, making it quickly disappear along with the pen and paper taking notes while she let out a set of nervous chuckles. "I have no idea what you're talking about!" She said, giving my arm a squeeze. 

"No no no, you know exactly what I'm talking about!" I said, watching as she got red in the face. "Are you trying to learn Spanish?" Sitting up a little, I stared at the golden eyed witch, watching as she struggled to find her words. 

"Maybe?" She finally squeaked out, then she put a hand on the side of my face, lightly shoving me away while I laughed. "But you have no proof of anything!" Her voice squeaked as her ears went down. 

"Oh sure I don't~" I teased, laying back down on her shoulder. "In fact, I've already forgotten what we're talking about." I knew my statement made Amity roll her eyes, but she let out a little chuckle. The fact she was trying to learn Spanish left a warm feeling in my chest, slowly spreading across my body.

"Whatever you say Luz." She mumbled, starting to run her fingers through my hair. The contact made me melt at her touch, a content hum rising up from my throat as I closed my eyes. There was a bit of silence, then I heard Amity snort. "Looks like humans can purr too." 

"Huh?" I sat up, noticing the teal haired witch's soft smile. "I'm just humming." I said, feeling a bit of heat rising to my cheeks 

"Are you sure? Cause that sounded a lot like purring." Amity teased, making me roll my eyes and give her a light shove that only made her laugh.
