Hazy, the embodiment of what it's like to wake up. Hazy can lead to anything, but the first thing I see as I regain consciousness is her, it's so warm, I love the hot pink of her smooth and fiery self.

I think I'm nuzzling her face, it's hard to tell your actions when you're half asleep. "Morning, dumbass, coming crying to mommy?" she blurts out lovingly, the grip on my hug tightens.

She moves out of my grasp and my fingers sulk in her absence, "Out of bed, Willow, you can't lie there forever", "but sleeep", I whine out. "No buts, Lowlow, up you go".

I thud to the floor from the nest-like blankets, after a solid 10 seconds I start to get up and rub my eyes a bit, about a minute later I stumble into the restroom that's next to the bedroom, her bright pink silhouette being the most I could see without my glasses. "You've really softened up since we started dating, huh" she said in such a wholesomely condescending tone, my eyes stay tired and heavy but my smile can't help but extend to infinity, I don't know how to respond, and I don't want to.

As I entered the Hexside building again I said my goodbyes to Boscha and went on my way to first period.

Last week was really stressful with finals and such, I thought the stress would carry over but there's actually an aura of relaxation in the air.

It's our final semester here, I don't have to keep up on my classes anymore, thank the titan, and I've already moved out from my parents and into a new apartment with Boscha, aww she's so cute, I'm getting all flustered just thinking about her, I wish we were together for the whole day.

Well today in class we literally just had a single worksheet, piss easy too.

"Heya, Willow!" Luz exclaims from behind, I feel a little jolt up in my heart and face. "Oh, sorry, did I scare ya?" she says again after I turn my head back like an owl, all frantically.

"No, no, I just was kind of out of it" I say back, "well that's good, I can see why, not much going around here lately", "yeah" I replied with a slight giggle, immediately following up with "well how are things with Amity?".

"Really good, she's just so sweet and cool to me, I wish she was here now", silence of thought cast through the room like a mist, "yeah, that's how I feel about Boscha". "Interesting considering both of us kinda had the same timeline with them in a way" Luz said with almost a stutter, it was clear she didn't know what I'd think of that statement, but to her luck all I thought of was reflection and happiness, she isn't wrong too, "yeah, basically, just mine took longer" I said in a tone attempting to reassure Luz that she didn't upset me in any way.

Nothing much happened for the rest of the class and we were dismissed.

Heading around the hallway corner I see Amity and Luz together, being all sweet and huggy, the memory of the concept of that I had a crush on Amity when I was little forced its way into my brain, that was kind of a weird time.

Well me and Boscha belong to each other now, not much use to bring up old memories when their trail leads nowhere.

Another two hour long dumb class later, Matt displayed his presentation on why Gus is a communist spy and someone got out their scroll and played the theme of that character Jornau Joe Vana from that show Luz likes, out loud during the presentation, that was interesting.

As I walked out into the hallway afterwards the smell of sweat, deodorant, and cafeteria food managed to pass through my nose all within the span of about thirty seconds, I must've been obviously disgusted because Boscha's voice pierces through the school lunch noise like an arrow on steroids and says "Can't take the smell, nerd?".

My head instinctively flicks to the side I heard the voice come from and my heart starts racing.

I keep trying to say hello or hi or some kind of greeting but for some reason the words fail to escape my mouth, how do I greet her now, I can't greet her like a friend or something, she's my girlfriend, we live together, we're so used to just knowing each other's presence that all of the sudden a greeting seems really weird and awkward.

"Are you ok?" Boscha uttered, her face made a sudden change to what I perceived as mild concern, she could probably tell I didn't know what to say, guess now's my chance to explain myself.

"Yeah, it's just now that were girlfriends it feels like we know each other so well that it's hard to tell if a greeting is a weird thing to do or not and such", she stared blankly with an expression of calm surprise for a second or so, and in a tone that reflected her face said "dude, I'm not worried about if you give me the proper greeting or whatever, I won't judge you, don't get caught up in expectations like I used to be", "yeah" I simply expelled the phrase out of my mouth, I thought about saying something more but just saying a simple affirmation is all I need to say and if I tried to add deeper meaning to it in a situation where that isn't popping to my mind immediately I'd probably confuse my own thoughts.

As the clock has ticked and tocked by countless times the bell rings with a sense of comforting mundanity, I glance at Boscha and she leans into my shoulder, kind of fits us in a weird position since I'm the short one but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it, I stretch my torso a bit and lean into her shoulder too, as we walk out, tied to each other like giraffes, under the ethereal beam of the boiling sunset.

It sucks that our new apartment is quite far away from Hexside, but at least we'll be getting some nice walking in.

The warm red grass and leaves and pines surround us in comfort, as dusk slowly approaches.

Eventually it's the dark of night and we reach our apartment, surrounded by the plain stone and wood that characterizes Bonesborough, normally it'd be quite crowded around here but at this hour it's as calm as King during a nap, we slowly climb up the cold, gray stairs to our apartment door and step inside.

The warmth of the inside is apparent from the very start, the walls and blankets all being varying shades of calm reds and oranges, with wooden furniture of a lightish brown tone.

I spend some time organizing and managing things around.

I couldn't bring a lot of my plants from home but I did bring August and Fluffles.

They don't require the most maintenance or do anything super elaborate, but they'll always be me and Boscha's treasures, like our plant counterparts.

I was suddenly slapped and jolted my eyes open, apparently I'd fallen asleep doing preparation for tomorrow, "don't work yourself too hard, dear.

I know you're strong and can handle anything but you really need to get better at managing your sleep".

I sped to wrap up anything else I needed to do and got in bed with Boscha. She started wincing her face and stretched her arms out to hug me, pushing her face into me, "who's crying to mommy now?" I muttered, she didn't respond, she just hugged me tighter. I leaned in and we drifted off to sleep.
