Up on the mountains, feeling the cold subsiding due to the fire lit in front. Countless stars in the night sky, watching with scrutiny... with Wednesday scrutinizing them the same.
The atmosphere was filled with comfortable silence between the two. But one had to break it somehow for a more romantic feeling, right?
“Willa, do you know the new Puss in Boots movie?ˮ
“No, and judging by the name is it a cat walking on all fours but with footwear? Ridiculous.ˮ
“Yes and no, He's a cat but he's not walking on all four! Also, you haven't watched Puss in Boots? We absolutely need to add that to our movie lists. ˮ
Wednesday's eyes twitched at the thought of watching a feline wearing boots, “Great, another film added to your lists. Oh, what torture.ˮ says Wednesday with an obviously sarcastic tone.
“Don't call our weekly movie nights torture, besides I know the only thing you loathe from our activity are the movies I picked. ˮstated Enid with a slightly teasing voice. Raising her eyelashes slightly, "Say that again and I will not hesitate to throw you to the fire. ˮ Less of a bite, more of a flustered response.
“Okay, love you too, there was one line from the latest movie 'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish' that I really likedˮ, moving slightly closer to Wednesday, Thump(it's not from within, Wednesday Addams does not have a beating heart.)a soft voice continues, "Since we're out gazing at the stars.ˮ
“Hm, and that is?ˮ Enid leans on Wednesday's shoulder. Wednesday shifts slightly to give Enid more space on her shoulder, Enid leans to the touch. Wednesday stilled despite it being commonplace between the two, she stared at the sky.
“Star light, star bright,ˮ
Enid starts with a hushed tone, capturing Wednesday's attention whole.
“First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might,ˮ
Slowly Wednesday shuffled, Enid's head falling from her shoulder, looking at Enid, and Enid reciprocating the look.
“Have this wish I wish tonight. ˮ
𝘞𝘪𝘴𝘩. 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩…
Wednesday felt a hand holding her own, “Wednesday, I…ˮ 𝘴𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵, 𝘴𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. I…want you. I love you,
“Enid Sinclair,ˮ her beloved's name ran out her mouth before she could stop herself.
Looking at her more intently, Wednesday found her dark figure in Enid's eyes slowly shining with emotions she couldn't quite recognize.
𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, how can one's eyes shine brighter than the stars? “Enid, I love you,”
Enid's face turned deep red.
𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦?
“You cloud my mind, and heart, and my very being just by my side. A glance in your eyes takes me to places I have never seen, I find myself thinking ߵI wish to be in those eyes, I desire to be the only person to be seen in that eyesߴ I find a version of myself so unfamiliar, I abhor that version of me that I thought was not possible, and now I am slowly recognizing that very version of myself. I am horrified, you scare me in the most dreadful ways 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦. I want to rip my heart out to put it on a silver platter because you amaze me so. I drown in you. I wish on every star in the sky that you, Enid, accept me if you wish to be with me too. ˮ
Wednesday finishes, waiting, (𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺) waiting for a response. Still gazing deep, all at once she recognizes the once undiscerning feeling in Enid's eyes full of intimacy, fondness, and love.
𝘖𝘩…
A wordless response rendered her speechless. Stopped the world in its tracks.
And suddenly, the darkness surrounding the world ceased when Enid's lips touched Wednesday's. And her hand squeezing her own... 𝘰𝘩 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘰, 𝘮𝘪 𝘴𝘰𝘭.
Wednesday finds herself leaning deeply into the light and the wish of her life.
