A Heart Beet For You [Lumity] (The Owl House x Slime Rancher Crossover)

Amity's hands drummed against her tights in a rhythmic way. Three taps, then a pause, another three taps, another pause. She wouldn't ever dream of doing this in public - much less in front of her parents. She had unconsciously done it around Luz once and the human had caught on rather quicky, gently inquiring about it. After some convincing and prodding Amity had explained it just felt right to do it. Luz had then explained stimming - a concept the witchling had never heard of before. Ever since she had felt more comfortable doing it around her crush. It felt great being able to loosen up a bit and show a vulnerable part of herself without receiving harsh judgement for it.

"Oh come ON" Luz smacked the open notebook with her hand, Amity flinching at the sudden sound. The glyph on the page glowing before the paper quickly turned into dust and was blown away by a gust of air. Luz groaned loudly and began to furiously scribble another glyph on the next blank page.

"Luz, maybe its time for a break?" Amity softly suggested, she was still seated under the strange fruit tree whilst Luz was standing a few feet away. She had been peeling away dried abomination goop from her school uniform whilst Luz tried to use her form of magic but eventually got bored and started stimming. "You've been trying different glyphs for surely the past hour and clearly it isn't going to work"

She could see Luz shoulders rise and fall with a heavy sigh, the human turning to her trusty friend "I know... It's just like when me and Lilith fought in the human world" Luz closed her notebook, defeat was written all over her face "I felt so helpless not being able to fight back! What if something crazy happens and you're in danger, I won't be able to help!"

Amity was silent, slowly getting up with the help of the tree trunk she had been resting against. Her body still felt sore and achy from the fall and overusing her magic. All honestly she just wanted to curl up into a ball and rest in her room back home now and sleep until her parents forced her up for the day. Then she'd rebel and sleep some more - take the punishment later.

She approached Luz who's eyes were on the ground. Amity placed a hand on Luz shoulder "Guess I'll be the one doing the protecting instead, I can still do magic" To prove her point Amity drew a small spell circle, it turned into a small light orb similar to the ones Luz first learned to summon. Only this one was a purple hue. Luz eyes shifted to the little glowing orb, reaching her hands to it and cupping it up close to her chest "You're a human who learned magic" Amity started, Luz finally meeting her eyes "You saved Eda from being petrified" Luz nodded, silently waiting for Amity to carry on.

From what Luz had observed the witchling rarely gave pep-talks to people and for sure never got this close to anyone unless they approached first "You're crafty, maybe this is..." Amity paused, searching for the right words. Luz burning gaze suddenly became too warm to Amity to face and she looked around, gesturing with her free hand towards their surroundings "An opportunity to learn!" Amity swallowed hard, she suddenly realised what she was doing and her stupid in the heat of the moment courage to make Luz happy quickly began to disappear. It was replaced with burning embarrassment instead "I don't know where we are but I doubt any other human - or witchling have ever been here so..."


Amity trailed off, her throat closing up and even is she tried to speak no words came out. The witchling glanced over to Luz who also looked around the area they were in, the glimmer of hope and adventure had sparked in Luz eyes again and she wore a happy smile on her lips. Luz opened her hands, letting the small purple light orb get caught by the wind and sail away into the sky "Yeah, you're right Amity!" Luz offered Amity a warm smile that only added to her stunned silence. "Our first mission should be..." Luz thought for a moment, having taken on the role of the leader for the day.

She looked Amity up & down as she thought, her eyes suddenly lighting up "To clean off all that abomination goop! When it dries it becomes seriously hard to move" As if to prove her point she bent her arm, the dried goop covering her uniforms sleeve cracking more. Amity nodded quietly, her lack of speech didn't seem to bother or concern Luz at all. The human bounced over to fetch her bag, swinging it over her shoulder with ease.

Luz turned to face Amity, extending a hand to her "Come on!" She flashed the witchling a warm smile that made Amity feel like melting into the ground "I don't think whoever owns this place would mind if we just look around while we wait for them, right?"

Amity managed to give Luz a small smile, carefully taking the extended hand with her own. Luz squeezed Amity's hand tightly, looking around the open Ranch area. She spotted an opening on to their left that seemed more inviting than the dark cave opening to their right "Let's gooo... Over there! Maybe we can find some water to wash our clothes!"

Amity didn't complain - she couldn't. Not when she was holding hands with her crush.

Thus the two of them began walking into the unknown.
