Amity looked slightly puzzled, her head tilting just a bit. "Uh yeah Luz, I like you too, remember when I said all that like five minutes a go? I called you a good friend and everything." 'How can she forget? I just said all that.'
She felt Luz's grip on her hands tighten. "No Amity…I think I like you…as in, like like." Her cheeks began to flush red at the admittance. Trying in vain to put a shaky smile. All her previous bravado had left her. "I think…I think I have." She began to choke up, she was embarrassed to spit it out. 'Say it! Say it now!' Her ever so helpful internal voice yelled at her.
Luz squeezed the pale witches hands a lot tighter now, she clamped her eyes shut and forced herself to blurt it out "Amity I think I have a crush on you!".
Silence, a long drawn out silence.
Luz let out a small whimper and carefully opened one eye to peek out in embarrassment, she was practically flinching.
Amity was looking down, more specifically down at her hands, held tightly in Luz's. She noticed the green haired witch was blushing ever so slightly. Eventually she looked up, her eyes locking with the humans, causing her to snap to attention in panic, opening both eyes. Then she spoke.
"you said you *think* you have a crush on me?". Her tone was calm, collected, not angry or surprised or happy. This put the Latina on edge.
"Yes! Wait no! I mean…I-I don't know." She released her grip, bringing her hands up to her chest in a somewhat dramatic flair. "I Like you, and you're pretty Amity, you're so pretty and I always wanted to be your friend. When you would get worked up and angry at me, I'd feel terrible…but I thought you looked so cute….I felt conflicted, I wasn't sure if I liked you in that way or not…Then I came here and we did….all this."
Her eyes were starting to water now. "I don't know if it was just the sex talking, but-but you were my first, and you told me how much you liked me and how I was a good friend. I got worked up thinking I was just a friend with benefits." Amity's own expression seemed to soften at this
"We lay there cuddled up and-and-Eugh forget it!" She brought her hands up to her face, curling up in shame and embarrassment, her teas flowing freely now. "Stupid Luz, you don't even know if you like her that way, she clearly doesn't, you've just made yourself look dumb. Get up, get out and just go home".
Sniffling Luz was just about to get up to dress and make a hasty escape when she suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap tightly around her. Amity has embraced the weeping human, nestling Luz's head under chin and gently rubbed her shoulders, trying to comfort her.
"Oh Luz" She remarked "God's I should have listened earlier." She planted a motherly kiss on the top of the human's head, trying to help calm her down. "when you're ready, we can talk."
There came a muffled and quiet "sorry" from Luz., trying to apologize for making a fool of herself.
"No, no I'm sorry, I put you in this position without thinking of the consequences." Her embrace on Luz's body tightened, she could feel the tears drip down from the human, running down her naked body.
Eventually Luz worked up the courage to pull herself away from Amity, attempting to wipe away the tears with little success. Her gaze met Amity's who was giving her a comforting smile. Luz wasn't sure what she could say now after all that. She just looked at her, failing to find the words. Amity realized this and so broke the silence.
"you know, during all that sex and us lying together…I did think of you as just a friend, someone I can fool around with, have fun when we're bored. But I should have known you're not used to that." She took up Luz's hands in her own "I made a mistake, I'm the one who should be sorry Luz, not you. And now you think you have feelings for me…" She released her grip with one hand, using to try and tuck some loose hair away behind her ear.
She looked away sheepishly as she spoke up again "I…I'd be willing to try if you want. I've never had a…lover-" Her face turned bright pink at the word "-before. Thought you were cute in an annoying way". She chuckled in embarrassment, more for her own sake. "I've enjoyed your company here, a lot more than I thought I would…so, what I'm saying is…" Her other hand came back now, taking a firm but gentle hold of Luz's hands.
"I like you...I like you too Luz, I-I'd like to try this with you. I want to make this work" She smiled up at the Latina, whose tears had finally stopped, her eyes wide in surprise
