Happy. Amity couldn't stop smiling. Her cheeks hurt and she didn't care at all. Her siblings had a crummy night, which was awful, but there was nothing that could get her head out of the clouds. The dance replayed over and over in her mind. Not the dance she expected but as usual when Luz was in the equation, much much better. How was it possible that Luz looked so good? How was it possible Luz gave Her a look that good. Amity began to absentmindedly fan her face as she looked out the window. Her cheeks flamed just thinking about the night's sequence of events.
Amity had known Luz less than a month. But never before had She felt so happy. It was possible that amity would never be as happy again. In fact she might've expected it. If it weren't for Luz who was constantly out performing and overdoing herself Amity might be afraid of getting bored with her like she gets bored with everything else. Schoolwork, social life, even grudgby, eventually Amity got so good at it all it bored her. Luz wasn't like that. Luz was absolutely unpredictable.
Amity was perfect. Living under the shadow of her successful elder siblings allowed her to succeed in ways they never could. She'd always learned from their exploits and found ways to do it better. Though it wasn't exactly because she enjoyed any of those things. It was just to make her life easier. She got less flack from her parents when she was top student, star of the school team and friends with the right people. Sure things in the past made her happy, those azura books for one, but nothing quite as happy as that dance.
Besides she was perfectly content with her life for the most part. Amity didn't need anything else, she wasn't missing out on anything. But something about the way that Luz just was had amity prepared to do anything. She'd never felt so giddy, so alive, so in love.
Yeah, She loved Luz. amity loved Luz more than anything right now. Just the thought of her made her insides wobble in an addictively wonderful way. Addictive was perhaps the best way to describe Luz. It was like gambling, sometimes you roll low and get your top student start taken away (which in hindsight matters a negative amount) but sometimes you roll high and get a picturesque dance defeating a demon in front of the school. And lately, it's been more and more high rolls with luz. Amity's life was ideal, sure but oh so predictable. Every day was the same. Ever since Luz stumbled her way into it however that had all changed. Sure she hated her for it at first but after seeing her grit and determination, Amity grew to admire her. And that admiration grew like one of Willow's plants into a blossoming love.
Amity sighed and fogged up the window. Luz was just so…. Great. So determined, so passionate, so excitable so loving. Gosh now that Amity thought about it she was a real jerk to Luz in the past. But that was the past! They were friends now! But she did say those things. Ugh she's so stupid sometimes. Luz was so forgiving but you can't change the past. There are no second first impressions. That's why amity's biggest fear was Luz rejecting her. Things with Luz seemed so easy, so fantastic. But what if Luz was playing a long con? Making amity fall in love with her just to humiliate her once again. This seemed unlikely Luz was just so pure. But those mean things Amity had said, they couldn't be taken back. Luz probably couldn't like amity the same way amity like her. And that's unfortunately the truth as far as Amity could see.
But that was fine. Amity made mistakes and she could live with them. Besides, she and luz are friends now. Being friends is enough. Being friends is enough.
Friends hang out right? If friends dance, then friends definitely hang out. How soon can they hang out? Probably the next day right? Yeah definitely! Amity didn't see nearly enough luz in school for her taste so visiting the owl house on the weekend seemed like a perfect idea! amity moved herself from the window going about her nightly routine.
Maybe they didn't need to stay at the owl house, actually amity had enough spending money that they could go anywhere on the isles and do anything. Oh what to do what to do. Maybe a trip into town! The markets are always fun! Or to see a magic show! The wilds perhaps? Amity typically like braving the wilderness but the thought of luz by her side made amity feel invincible. Maybe they could study together at the library? Or practice magic together? Any thing amity could think of sounded great when luz was by her side.
Amity settles down into her bed her face still frozen in a smile. Amity buried her head in a pillow hiding that smile from nobody, feeling like she was going to scream from happiness. Amity drifted off for the first time in her life dreaming happily of the future.
Amity woke up early as happy as she went to bed. She slept wonderfully and was eager to see her favorite friend. Amity put on a simple outfit, fit for doing any activity at all. amity was humming as she went about her morning routine…. HUMMING! that never happened, she'd never whistled, never hummed never done anything of the sort. Sure she was musically talented her parents had made sure of that, but she hadn't played or sung a single note off tune in years. Had anyone else in the blight mansion been awake they would've certainly caught onto amity's good mood but she practically waltzed out of the house before another soul rose out of bed.
Amity never enjoyed nature this much. Everything seemed new and wonderful. She wondered if this is how luz saw the world all the time. Finally! The owl house was in view.
"Hooty!" Amity greeted the sentient punching bag like an old friend. "Can you go get luz for me please?"
Hooty flinched uncontrollably and quickly went to go retrieve the human girl.
Amity waited with baited breath and butterflies in her stomach to see the literal girl of her dreams.
