Original Slashthedrabble Prompt: "Hidden Attraction"

This takes place pre-Grom.


Looking Luz in the eyes was no longer an option, not when Amity's feelings might as well have been written across her face. It wasn't that she hadn't had crushes before - the blue haired library volunteer just three years her senior and the cute blonde captain of the Glandus grudgby team had certainly kept her tossing and turning for more than a few nights. The ones she'd previously had, though, were always the sort that anyone could relate to. But who had ever heard of someone from the Boiling Isles falling for a human?

With how jumbled her mind was at the thought of it, did Amity really have any hope of one day saying what she felt aloud? Even the wisest oracle likely couldn't foretell an answer to that question.

But hey, if Amity herself could barely comprehend what she felt, what were the odds that Luz would?

The thought lightened her steps. If those born and bred from magic couldn't understand, let alone imagine, this sort of thing, then how could she ever expect a human to do the same?

But Luz is nothing like you expected her to be, is she?

Amity hurriedly pushed the thought away.
