Chapter Text
~-O-~
Once I'm done talking I pause. Taking a deep breath waiting for Luz’s response.
“MMMMMMMMMBABAHAHAHAGAGAGAGAGAGRRRAGGGGGGHHHHHH”
To my surprise all I'm met with is what seems to be the sound of Luz screaming into her pillow.
*THUNK*
…followed by what sounds like her legs hitting the floor from kicking them in the air.
“Are you okay Luz…??” I tried to ask. I had just poured my heart out to this girl, and I really wanted to know her reaction to…. All of it.
I had decided to tell her how I felt. I told her that she meant the world to me and that I would rather lose everything than stop seeing her.
I told her that there was no way in hell my parents were going to keep me from her, and if they tried then… well i dont exactly know.
But I'll do something!!!
I told her that I want to be with her more than anything…
…
Well okay fine.
I didn't say exactly that….
It was closer to five minutes of me tripping over my words while trying to convey any sense of my feelings for her.
…based on her reaction at least, it seemed like i got my message across good enough.
“WAIT.” my thoughts are cut short with the sound of her scream/whispering at me through the scroll.
“..yes..?”
“WAS I THE ONE YOU WANTED TO ASK TO GROM??????”
This girl… she somehow still finds ways to impress me.
“YES LUZ. YOU WERE THE ONE I WAS GOING TO ASK.” I say as I bury my face in my hands, half from embarrassment and half from the sheer display of obliviousness that I had just witnessed.
DID SHE NOT SEE THE FORM THAT GROM TOOK WHEN IT TORE UP THAT NOTE????
THE ONE THAT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE HER..????
“That means…. You've liked me for so long!!!” she says after a few moments. Gasping as she talks, I let out a slight chuckle at her reaction before continuing.
“well really.. I dont know.. ive never really felt this way towards someone before”.
“Youve never had a crush?”, another gasp escapes her mouth as she questions me.
“I don't know… I mean, maybe???”, I say as I try to recall the people in my past that I've felt this same way about….
Willow?
I mean, I do love her… but I don't know if I ever really had a “crush” on her? it was always like she was just another part of me in some way.
Oh titan, I think to myself, we're going to have to tell Willow and Gus about us…
Well still, I'm sure they'll be sportive… It's the others I'm scared about.
I stop myself from thinking about any of them, or their reactions to me and Luz. im not letting the thought of them of this night with Luz…
..Fine cat and skara are fine, but really it's Boshca I'm worried about..
She's acting differently now though… ever sense that whole bug thing at school.
I let out a slight shiver as I thought back to that day. Blehh, I hope I don't have to see those things ever again.
“all i know is ive never felt how I do around you before, you're definitely a special case.” I say, coming back to reality.
“Awwww you like me ~!!!” I hear her tease over the phone, letting out a slight giggle while she talks…
..sending a quick blush across my cheeks…
“Did i just confess my love for you the second time today or did i imagine all that..” I say as I get closer to the scroll. My mouth turns to smirk as I decide to mess with my…. Partner??? I still need to talk about that…
“Did I kiss my crush in the hallway TWICE… or are we both imagining things today?” she retaliates, making my mouth hang open and my face flash a hot pink.
Titan, she's smooth…
“...whatever… but yes I do like you, you dork…” I say as I decide to give up and give in to her charm…
“Well I like you too, how about that!” she calls back to me, putting a little more energy in her voice, almost sounding like a superhero as she talks.
“Well im glad to hear that, it would be pretty awkward if you didnt.” i say, as we both burst into laughter once I finish speaking.
This is… nice.
I think to myself, after such an exhausting few days it's nice just to sit with Luz and not worry about anything.
Think about it, you'll be able to do this with Luz for as long as you want when you're older. Just talking long into the night.. a smile makes its way onto my lips as we finish laughing,
After a few moments however I decide to ask a question before I forget.
“hey i was actually wondering, what are we now?”
“What do you mean?” I bear her say as she shifts in her bed/ sleeping bag.
“Well we're not just friends anymore… and I don't know when we can really call ourselves anything else” I try to say. I want to ask her about it but… aghh i dont know it is hard!!! I don't know how to do any of this…
“Well….”, she stops for a few seconds. She began to start talking before quickly changing her mind.
Dp i say something wrong?? Oh shoot what if i messed it up—
“I mean we can't really be dating unless you take me out on a date. Right?"
“So us sneaking out to go to a carnival doesn't count then?” I snapped back, my voice jokingly hurt.
“No no no, like a date date… like with flowers and dinner and dressing up and stuff.”
Oh.
“Oh-Oh i think i get it!”
Me and Luz.
Going out.
On dinner dare
Dressed up.
My whole face is red now and my stomach is tripping over itself. I try to sit and calm myself down but the thought of Luz in a suit is…
Uhhhh….
wow…
My thoughts were interrupted however when I heard Luz cough on the other end of the line, clearly trying to get my attention.
“Sooooo…?” I near her ask… clearly hinting at something but… lets just say im still pretty preoccupied…
“So?” i ask, trying to focus on what's happening now, instead of what'll be happening in the future.
…
But like…
What if we kissed when we were both in suits.
Okay okay okay! I'm done now!!
My legs are shaking and my stomach is doing flips like an acrobat at this point, all while I'm desperately trying to pay attention to her words.
“...Where are you taking me Blight?” she asks, her voice high and playful as she asks. “first dates gotta be good you know,,,” i know snes trying to mess with me… but i can tell she really does care.
I promise, this is gonna be the best freaking date ever.
Whatever happens, wherever we go, it'll be amazing.
I'll make sure of it.
“I uhhh… umm…”
..The hard part now though is trying to figure out what to do…
Suddenly an idea forms in my head, its only the start of a plan…
But hey, it's still a plan none the less
“How about this? Its a Thursday right now isn't it?”
“Technically a friday but i get what your saying”
Right, it's what…. I look at the clock and check the time…
1:32 Am
Yikes.
I'll wrap it up soon.
“Whatever, usually tomorrow… or I guess today we would have book reading”, my heart quickens as i think about reading to the kids with luz. Would it be any different now that were… a thing? I push the thought aside. We can worry about that when the time comes, for now, its date time. “But according to Edric, someone accidently fed the files a fairy pie and it…. Didn't end very well…” i say with a shiver
“If edric told you, are you sure it wasn't him who did it?” I can hear her tease over the phone.
“Honestly? It probably was " I chime back.
I'd be surprised if it wasn't him.
“Anyway they're still cleaning up, so we won't be able to do it that day. Would you maybe be free tomorrow– wait no... would you be free this afternoon?", I corrected myself again. I really am not used to staying up this late.
“I actually can't today, I think Lilith wanted me to teach her some more glyphs and stuff.” she lets out a sigh as she talks, clearly exhausted by just the thought of teaching a new glyph. “Remember when I learned the construction glyph back in the titans head?”
“Yeah I remember,” I said back. Titan i cant believe that was only a few weeks ago. It feels like it's been so long since then.
“Well a piece of the owl house fell off a bit ago and i had to patch it back up with the spell”, she stops for a second taking a deep breath and letting out a huge sigh. “Well lilith was actually watching this happen and now she wants to try glyph combinations to see if anything else could work with them.”
“Yikes, Sounds like you've got a full day of work ahead of you”, I say with a wince. Luz always seems to be running around doing chase or going on missions from eda, i think a date could actually really help. All the more reason to make it perfect. “Alright well, are you good for tomorrow? The REAL tomorrow i meen”
“Yeah, I should be free on Sunday,” she says teasingly. “Anywsy, back to what you were saying before. What were you thinking about for the date??”
“Wellllllllll” I say as I move in my bed, trying to get a little more comfortable. My stomach is now flat on the bed with my head in my palms and my feet kicking in the air. “I was thinking I could come down to the owl house and pick you up around four, maybe four thirty. From there I'd take you ouf downtown to some sort of nice restaurant and thennnn….” a smirk starts to crawl across my face as I stop for a moment.
“...and then?” I hear her ask with a nervous chuckle.
My smirk has transformed j to a full on grin by the time I start talking. “Well you'll just have to see now wont we?? It's not as much fun if the surprise is gone now, hmmn?”
Now all I have to think of the perfect way to end a first date.
Shouldn't be that hard right???
“Ooooooo i like it!!!” i can hear her say with excitement, stopping me from thinking anymore with my already exhausted brain.
“For now however? it's getting pretty late..” I tell her as I get close to the scroll, now leaning in, my mouth almost touching the speaker…
“or I guess… early?” I say as I check the clock on my scroll.
“I know what you're saying, I'm getting pretty tired too” She says, Proceed by a massive yawn, sounding almost like a cat…
Cute…
“See you in a few hours amity” she says as she gets close.
“See you in a few hours”, I say , lowering my voice ever so slightly, just to mess with her a little more.
“I guess we cant really say goonight cuz its not exactly night, soooo..” she stops for a second, seemingly deep in thought. “Goodmorning amity! oh and one more thing…” she stops before hanging up.
“I love you!”, she plants a kiss onto the speaker, my mouth is so close to it, it almost feels like she gave me a kiss through the phone.
“I love you too…”, I planted a kiss on the speaker as well, my face blushing a light pink.
I hover my finger over the end call button, but before I end the call I say one last goodbye.
“and good morning Luz, talk to you soon.”
