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

The warm, soft sunlight bounced off of the little valley surrounding the house and ranch area. Despite the sun beaming down the air had a chill to it "This feels like every autumn morning home..." Amity muttered to herself, rubbing her hands together. Her eyes slowly swept over the ranch, taking in all the colors and different shapes, she was hoping to find her human crush jotting down things about this place in her notebook though Luz was nowhere to be seen.

The witchling frowned slightly, maybe the human had gone to admire the hens from yesterday? Or... Maybe the waterfall area to feed Squiggles breakfast? That did sound more likely since Luz had a tendency to fuss over cute things "She's impossible to keep track of" Amity sighed out to herself, skipping down the stone staircase and standing in the middle of the ranch. A slight breeze swooshed through the valley.

"Luz?" Amity called, waiting patiently for a reply but only silence answered her. Despite the fact the Ranch was colorful and big it felt eerie being there alone, almost like something was watching her from afar... Amity was quick to scurry off to the left, rubbing her hands together as a chill climbed up her spine.

Amity had soon enough checked out the lush green area as well as the docks. The Hens had been lazily pecking away at the ground and Squiggles had happily chirped at Amity as if to say 'Goodmorning' though Luz was nowhere to be found which only made Amity feel more uncomfortable and alone. The witchling had slowly dragged herself back to the ranch, the sound of her footsteps echoing throughout the valley.

Maybe Luz had finally gotten a Glyph to work and left Amity behind? She tapped her fingers against her chin as she thought. If Luz had left her behind she needed to find a way back herself but without the cheery human around that felt impossible. Though it didn't seem like Luz to leave others behind. She'd heard the tale of how Luz fought against the emperor to free Eda and the lengths she'd gone to try to lift Eda's curse.

A sigh escaped the witchling as she peered around the ranch again, still alone.

"Alright, Amity" She gently smacked her rosy cheeks, "You're a Blight. Nothing can fright you, not even your own p-" "Hey AMITY!" The witchling jumped and spun around towards the sound, her heart beating like crazy. She must've looked like a deer in headlights because laughter sounded as Luz stepped out of the cave opening to the right "Ohoh- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to spook you!" The human managed to wheeze out, almost doubling over from laughing so hard. Amity's ears flicked down a notch, she wasn't as amused but felt a small smile tugging on her lips.

Amity began making her way over to the human who was recovering from the laughing fit, stomping her feet loudly like she did when someone was annoying her. The witchling was soon stood in front of Luz and cleared her throat "Where exactly have you been, Luz Noceda?"

It seemed like a lightbulb lit up above Luz head as she launched into explaining what she'd been up to "So basically you kind of really slept in this morning and I decided to pick out some clothes from the closet" Luz gestured towards her own clothes "Just borrowing them though since our uniforms are kind of... Ruined?" Amity hummed with a nod. While she'd be able to clear the goop out of them Luz did look cute in the clothes she'd picked out... And their uniforms were partially shredded.

"Anyways I went outside, got some of those weird fruits and took a look around. I brought them inside since I figured you had to be hungry waking up, I mean you used A Lot of magic yesterday" Luz paused briefly to catch her breath "And I figured I'd do some more exploring and let you rest so I explored this place!" Luz sounded very energetic, she gestured towards the cave opening "I was gonna go check on you since the sun is up and, but..." There was another brief pause "I wanted to show you this place since you're up now" Luz gave Amity a heartwarming smile.

The witchling felt like she was gonna melt through the ground, Luz was so thoughtful and kind - though part of her felt guilty, there was no way Luz would leave her behind yet she'd assumed that almost right off the bat.
'Not now', Amity thought as she battled the guilt building up in her chest. 'But you are a terrible person for assuming she'd leave you' The voice in her head whispered. She could feel herself starting to slip and spiral. With all her might Amity willed her mind to quiet down.

"You alright, Mittens?" Luz voice snapped Amity back to the real world and the witchling quickly nodded, Luz flashed her a warm smile and grabbed ahold of Amity's hand and began tugging her along into the cave ahead of them. The two walked in comfortable silence, hand in hand. Amity felt like she might cry from joy, her face being ablaze in a deep blush reaching the tips of her ears. She stole a quick glance from Luz who seemed to have no problem walking hand in hand with her. No blush, no nervous fidgeting, just her normal happy-go-lucky smile she'd flash everyone and nothing else.

Amity could feel her heart sink slightly, Luz really didn't think anything special of her, huh?

"We're here!" Luz announced and Amity quickly ripped her eyes away from Luz before the human got the chance to realise she'd been sharing at her. Amity's eyes slowly scanned the surrounding cave - there were blue crystals growing from the walls, ceiling, floor as well as glowing teal mushrooms along the walls. They all perfectly lit up the small cave, it honestly seemed like a scene straight out of the 4th Azura book which was unreal. Amity couldn't help but to gape in awe. Maybe this strange place they'd fallen into wasn't as bad as she thought it was.

A big smile slowly crept onto Amity's face, she let go of Luz hand to peer down the small ledge in front of them. A few boxes were standing against the wall which did seem a bit out of place but it didn't ruin the moment. They'd have plenty time to search through those later if they so desired. "This place is wonderful, Luz" The witchling turned to face the human who offered her a sweet toothy smile "It's super cool, right? It looks just like-" "The magic grotto in the 4th Azura book" Amity finished, clapping her hands together.

"Yeah! Exactly! Though I think the cave Azura went to was bigger than this," Luz gestured around the area with both her arms "I mean, this is a pretty cave but it's not big!" "That's true, but it's almost like stepping into the book and taking a look around it for yourself" Amity hummed, turning back to the ledge and hopping down. She headed to the middle of the cave which seemed to be a bit brighter thanks to some rocks having fallen in seemingly ages ago. The witchling turned around to face Luz, the soft light bouncing perfectly off her clothes and slightly messy hair.

Amity looked so perfect in the soft shine from above, she looked like a fallen angel. That's how the human would've described her at least. Amity gave Luz the most genuine smile the Boiling Isles had ever seen.

Luz could feel her heart skip a beat and her face starting to heat up. It felt like butterflies were fluttering around if her stomach and chest like crazy.

Then it hit the human, the feeling she'd felt the previous day - the one she wasn't able to pinpoint until now.

It was love.

She was in love with Amity Blight.
