Chapter Text
There are so many things in the world that Wednesday dislikes. For starters anything thats loud, things with way too much color, and physical contact. Oh ESPECIALLYYY physical contact.
Despite hating all of these things, she finds herself enjoying the presence of one who is practically all about these. Its ironic, really. Not even her family is allowed to be so close to her as much as Enid has been. She wouldnt hesitate to break an arm if someone that was not her colorful roommate or family on special occasions, attempt to hug her.
The hug she had with the blonde after everything, sparked something inside her. Only then did she start to see Enid as a very very very trusted partner.
Atleast that’s how she sees it. Thing on the other hand.. literally sees it in a different way that involves.. romance. He always mention the touches, the lingering stares she gives whenever the blonde isnt looking. Then he goes on to speak on this ‘tension’ the two have.
And if he wasnt irritating enough, other things are occuring that puzzle the psychic.
Like for example, these past few weeks. They’ve been strange.
Wednesday has noted some odd feelings appear whenever a certain blonde and curly haired wolf together.
The feelings being: Chest tightness, head nausea, and an increase in temperature in her head.
Typically she’d embrace the uncomfortable feeling, but when it comes from those two together.. she cant help but despise the feeling.
Even the thought alone of them two hanging out, causes the symptoms. Its not as strong but its still enough to bother the girl.
For example, five days ago the writer was having an amazing time with her novel. Ideas just kept on coming up and flowing onto the sheet of paper as she typed.
Unfortunately, her roommate entered giggling like oftentimes. The adorable giggles that erupted from the blonde werent what bothered the raven, it was the fact that Enid didnt even attempt to greet her.
Instead of saying “Hey Willa!” like she usually does, the werewolf just went straight for her bed and completely ignored everything and everyone in the room. She only focused on the device in her hand that kept on buzzing.
And so the writer waited.. and waited.. and waited. She didnt know what exactly she was waiting for. Perhaps an explanation or a late greeting from her roommate.. but no matter how long she waited, nothing ever came.
Wednesday did her best to act unphased but despite whatever she put out on the front, the feeling of being ignored, bothered her. And that. She couldnt hide well.
The author sighed once noticing shes lost her train of thought for Viper. Because instead, all her thoughts were on the blonde laying across from her, happily. Opposite as to what Wednesday was feeling.
“It would be appreciated if you could stop with those sounds over there. It is my writing time and I’d prefer to not be disturbed.” Wednesday spoke sharply, with her back turned. Staying still as she listened to the girl shuffle around in her nauseatingly colorful bed.
“Oh! Sorry Willa. I’m just texting Bruno. He’s really funny. Honestly.” Enid complimented not noticing her roommate sitting stiffly at the mention of his name.
Slowly, the raven haired girl turned towards the blonde. First thing she noticed was the huge grin plastered on Enid’s face. Usually the crooked smile would ignite something in Wednesday but right now it didnt. And it was because it wasn’t caused by her.
Bruno again? Its the name she has learned to dislike hearing. The fur has uttered the name so many times this past week, its irritating. Usually it’d be, “Bruno did this today!” “Bruno said this ___!” “Bruno is so kind!”
Only on two occasions had she seen the guy. He was annoyingly nice. After the short interaction, Thing had pointed out, something about the two having a resemblance in looks which Wednesday found insulting.
But he wasn’t the only one who commented on the two looking ‘alike’. The second time she had seen him was when he had arrived for the first time to their table.
There, side by side stood the fur and the psychic. Ajax was the first who had spoken, “Wow this new gummy from Rick is strong. Im seeing a male version of Wednesday.”
While everyone else had sat in shock, jaws dropped. Up until Enid finally arrived and accepted in helping Bruno with his homework.
Honestly Wednesday doesn’t understand why people say the two are look similar. She doesn’t see it. And surely they DONT act alike.
Enid’s laughter rang through the room, finally breaking Wednesday from her earlier trance. She let her gaze linger on Enid for a few more seconds before turning back to her typewriter.
However she starts imagining the two together and scowls in disgust. The thought of him having his arm around her while she laughs at a joke of his, sets her off. Subconsciously she grips the sides of her table tightly.
“Bruno..” Wednesday mumbled through gritted teeth. Inaudible for human ears but with Enid’s sensitive ears, the mumble did not go unnoticed. “Hmm?” Enid hummed curious as to what her roommate has to say.
The writer cleared her throat before turning around to speak, “Bruno will wake up with missing fingers if he doesn’t quit being needy.”
“What! He’s not needy.” Enid defended not enjoying Wednesday’s choice of words to the black haired wolf. She hasn’t even met the guy, what does she care?
“You’ve been glued to that soul sucking machine for the past three days, Enid. Most likely because of him.” Wednesday argued through a clenched jaw.
“It’s not allll him. But I have been talking to him more because we get along so well. And he’s helping me out with something right now”
But we’ve barely said a word to each other. The raven thought but made sure to brush off the idea just as soon as it appeared.
“How come I haven’t heard of this problem of yours? I’m sure I can be of more help.” Wednesday was regretting how quickly she responded. Now it seems like she really wants to be involved. Which she does, but she wouldn’t ever admit it.
“Thank you, Willa. But I dont think you can help me as much as he can, with controlling my wolf. Since.. he’s.. you know. A werewolf too?” Enid laughed softly in a way where the braided girl can immediately tell she’s not trying to be mean.
The raven huffed in disappointment and turned around to type furiously on her typewriter. The harsh typing goes unnoticed by the blonde who continues on chatting with the boy. While, Thing took the harsh rapid typing as a sign to not be disturbed and scurried away from the writer.
___
Even now just thinking about that conversation bothers the girl. Ever since Bruno entered the picture, Enid barely talks to Wednesday. And when they do talk, he gets mentioned and then the whole conversation is about him now. And the entire time the braided haired girl cant help but have a scowl on her face, making the blonde upset.
Then the two get into some sort of argument and Enid goes to seek out Yoko but when the vampire isnt available she goes to the reason they argued, Bruno.
Everything had been to Wednesday’s liking before Bruno was friends with Enid. The two girls despite being each other’s opposite, were comfortable. And they would hang out in the comfort of their own room.
Their chats would either be about how Enid’s day went or new gossip she discovered.
Wednesday was the first she’d always run to, but now she’d been replaced. And by a boy she barely met, at that.
Even before school started, the two roommates talked more. The cheerful roommate even had a plan to communicate with her dark emotionless friend.
Originally, the werewolf had planned to send the old fashioned girl letters, as way to talk. But when Xavier in their groupchat had mentioned giving Wednesday a phone, and afterwards bragging about having her number. Enid just had to ask for the number.
It was a surprise to see a different set of numbers on the screen when Wednesday checked the device, to see if the stalker said anything. She wouldnt tell anyone but the braided haired girl was delighted and had a corner of her lip tilted upwards, when reading the message that said “Hi! Its Enid. Text me when you can!”
And since then, the two chatted everyday about what they did and eventually started calling each other. It had become a routine and one that Wednesday didnt mind. She actually looked forward to texting with the blonde. Sure, it took a while to work the device but with help from the very chronically online teen, she learned quickly.
So just how did it come to this? School had started three weeks ago and only the first week did they really get along. It was the second week where Wednesday could tell Enid was slowly drifting off. Their conversations were now shorter and interrupted by a single text from the boy.
Of course she didnt say anything to the girl because why would she? Its not like she needed Enid to be with her everyday. She can go with whoever she wants with. She doesn’t care.
At least thats what the braided haired girl told herself. Despite not saying anything, anyone could tell something was off about her.
Its normal for her to glare at everyone who she sees obviously. And its also usual for her to stay quiet, and dry along with being snappy when spoken to.
But nowadays she’s just in a sour mood. The raven snarls at anyone who is within five feet of her and shoots them a glare. So for everyone was already terrified of her, they’re now scared shitless.
Meanwhile the people who consider themselves her ‘friends’ who had gotten use to her actions were now starting to get scared. She had almost stabbed Yoko when the vampire grabbed her shoulder as a way to get her attention.
One moment the blood sucker was standing and the next she was on the ground with a knife to her neck. That was when they knew not to agitate her. At first they thought she had gotten her period or something, but seeing how this has gone on longer than a week they now know something is up.
And they all have a suspicion it has to do with a certain blonde and new wolf duo. They aren’t blind when it comes to the Wednesday and Enid. Everyone has been shipping them together.. well most of them have. Xavier still insists on the raven being attracted to someone else. A guy.. who likes to draw.. and can make things come to life.
His persistence is annoying, but soon he’ll see a new couple and stop.
Anyway, currently our raven vision viewer is in an argument with Thing.
“No, Thing I dont know where you get these delusions from.” the braided haired girl grumbles as she folds her arms, watching as the hand continued tapping furiously.
“Thing. Listen. I am not upset due to Enid ‘liking’ to this new wolf. Matter of fact, your insistence on my alleged different change in attitude is not appreciated. The urge to keep you trapped in a drawer is tempting.” Wednesday warned, sending piercing eyes to the body part in front of her.
So then them dating doesn’t bother you? he tapped a lie. The lie made Wednesday blink, twice.
“They’re dating..?” She mumbled in disbelief, but a hint of sadness laid behind the question. “Why wouldn’t she tell me?”
For a moment, Thing feels guilty for lying to the girl, but he has to do what it takes to make his family member realize her feelings. And truthfully, it wasn’t entirely a lie. The two being a couple was potential thing to happen since Enid did mention finding the boy cute.
Okay. They aren’t dating yet, but how did the idea make you feel? And be honest.
“Enjoy your fingers while you have them for the next minute.” the raven growled, dodging the question. The fact that she actually believed such a lie annoyed her.
Wednesday. He tapped slowly, trying to show he was serious. “I..” she paused, to collect her thoughts. She figured it would be best to find out what is going on with her and what exactly these new feeling are. However, forming words was now starting to become difficult.
After a while she cleared her theoat. “I..I didnt feel exactly terrific.” she finally muttered trying to look elsewhere, anything as long as it wasn’t the hand in front of her.
Do you wish it was you, instead of him?
Thing tapped hesitantly, unsure as to how the raven would react to this ‘accusation’ as she would call it.
Surprisingly, she didnt lash out on the hand. She nodded slowly as her gaze wandered to a photo frame settled on Enid’s desk. In the frame was a photo of her and Enid outside the weathervane.
Wednesday had her usual stoic look, but if you looked closely you could see a small glint in her eyes. Meanwhile, the one next to her had a smile that always made the dead girl’s heart beat.
Then, her gaze shifted to a photo next to the previous one. Bruno and Enid were in it, sitting side by side, her head on his shoulder and both of them throwing two fingers up.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and returned her gaze back to Thing. “Yes. I do” she confirmed outloud, and was now thinking of ways to separate the two wolves.
“So what are we going to do to make him disappear. I was thinking of leaving him in a room surrounded by silver.” she suggested, her lips slightly tilting upwards at the thought of Enid finally hanging out with her while he isnt around.
No Wednesday. Enid will not forgive you for harming him. thing tapped, making the latter roll her eyes in return and scrunch her nose in frustration. An action that Enid would always comment on saying it was adorable.
“Then we shall just leave him stranded in the woods.” She headed towards the door right after throwing the suggestion and grabbing her bag full of items that would certainly make her banned from countries.
NO Thing tapped, as he hurried to his master.
___
And so the plan to kidnap the wolf didnt happen due to Thing’s many warnings. Wednesday finally listened after the 6th warning when Thing said Enid would probably move out and actually live with Yoko permanently if she cuaght on to Wednesday. And that. That terrified the girl, and it wasnt the good type of terrifying feeling.
Afterwards, Thing started suggesting the idea to talk about her feelings. Can you believe it? He asked Wednesday. Wednesday addams, the one who is the worst to talk to when it comes to opening up. He told her to talk about her feelings that she never even thought she’d have ever again, to the girl she wants.
A very stupid idea the writer opinionated.
But anyway the raven haired girl is still mad at the world and is currently planning ways to mysteriously make Bruno disappear. She isn’t very subtle with her mood to the wolf boy who is right now leaning closer to Enid. She glares at him from across the table which does not go unnoticed by the others.
“Chill Wed-nes-gay, no need to stare daggers towards the guy. She’s still yours.” Yoko calls to the girl in a teasing tone, earning chuckles from almost the entire table, but three people.
“Call me another name besides, the one I was given and I will test out my stake collection on you.” The short girl threatened, stabbing her fork into her steak for a more dramatic effect.
“You won’t kill me. You’ve grown to enjoy my presence and you know it.” The vampire grinned to show she was unphased.
“I will sneak garlic into everything you consume like I did last time. Only this time, it’ll be for a month.” At that, Yoko’s eyes did widen in fear. She was sick for a week after Addams somehow got ahold of her blood supply worth of three days.
She put garlic in every blood pack she was able to get her hands on. Not that Yoko didn’t deserve it, according to Wednesday. The motive behind the incident was actually similar to this. Yoko had accused the raven of having feelings for her bestfriend because of the way she looked, and treated enid ‘differently’.
Wednesday found the vampire annoying because of the continuous teasing she threw to the braided girl. And right infront of the blonde, mind you. On one occasion the blood sucker was able to make Wednesday’s ears turn slightly red when she commented the two roommates would make a cute couple.
“Got it, but you didnt deny Enid being your girl.”Yoko mumbled the last part, moving her gaze away from the latter to her blood pack. Divina chuckled at the two, it was always like this. The siren threw her arm around the vampire, “When will you learn to stop teasing Wednesday, babe?”
“Never. Not until Wednesday tells a certain wolf, she likes them.” Yoko replied, rather loudly. The reply was caught by said wolf’s ears, who tore her gaze away from Bruno, cutting the conversation.
“What? Wednesday likes someone?” Enid asked from across the table with a slight frown and furrowed eyes. “Oh yes she does.” Bianca pitched in next to the fur, smirking at her.
“Shut it.” The psychic growled, shooting her fork to the Siren. “Shes got it bad.” Yoko jumped in, forgetting the earlier warning the raven gave her.
“Big time.” Ajax grinned lazily, and earned a glare from the teased girl. “I will not hesitate to cut off those snakes on your head if you utter another word.”
Wednesday always had a short temper when it came to the one in the beanie. The fact he used to date Enid irritated her. How could such a beautiful being ever be with.. that.
Ajax with widened eyes, gulped and pulled his beanie down as if trying to cover up his snakes more.
“Stop it guys.” Xavier cut in as he chewed a piece of meat from his plate.
“Only once will I ever say this, Xavier tha-”
“Wednesday likes someone who has artistic abilities, remember? Not a wolf.” He added smugly, sure of himself. Silence filled the table until it didnt. Yoko burst out laughing and then the others followed after, even Bruno chuckled. The only ones who didnt find the situation amusing were Wednesday and especially Enid who had an upset look.
“I retract my previous almost statement.” The raven haired teen muttered with horrified eyes. “Xavier, I am not interested in you whatsoever, as I’ve said before. Countless times actually. In fact, you disgust me at most times.”
“I never said me, Willa” He smirked thinking he caught her. Without a single second to spare, she was on him with a knife. Surprising the entire table at how fast she was. “You dont get to call me that.” She snarled pressing the weapon to his neck, drawing a bit of blood.
The artist gasped with widened eyes, “Okay. okay.. OKAY, IM SORRY” he hurried out. And with that the braided haired girl let him go. “And im aware you didnt say your name. Im just reminding you that I’ll never be romantically interested in you.” Wednesday said through gritted teeth and left the table.
“Well damn.” Yoko muttered, This is what you’re into Enid? The vampire wondered as she turned to her bestfriend, who had a pleased smile along with a lovestruck look.
“Look, she also has it bad.” Yoko whispered to Divina and Bianca. They glanced towards the direction of the blonde who basically had hearts in her eyes as she stared at the one walking away.
“They’re cute.” The siren commented as she leaned into her girlfriend.
“But we’re cuter and better.” Yoko grinned as she wrapped her arm around Divina, giving a soft kiss on the top of her head.
“Get a room” Bianca mumbled as she rolled her eyes, taking a bite of her food.
__
“Thing hurry up!” Wednesday whispered as she waited for the hand, clearly impatient. Pick me up then! he tapped. Within the next moment she sped up to him and shoved the body part into her backpack roughly.
Thing rustled inside to make it known the way she shoved him was not appreciated. “Stop it or I’ll forcefully put those nails, Enid gave that bloodsucker before.” (Acrylic nails)
That seemed to cause the hand to simmer down. The two were currently trying to sneak back into the dorm. Wednesday was having trouble coming to terms with the fact she has certain.. feelings for her roommate.
Thing noticed her frustration and suggested exploring the forest to see if they find anything. Which is something the raven haired teen hasn’t done in a while. Her stalker had been quiet lately so there wasn’t much to do.
So she gladly accepted and honestly the trip had been fun. It definitely took her mind off of things but now it was late and time to get back to the dorm. There was no more forgetting about her feelings for her roommate anymore.
Wednesday grunted as she climbed up to the balcony. “Looks like I’m out of practice.”
A sigh of relief fell out of her mouth once she reached the last climb. Thanks the body part tapped when Wednesday let him roam free upon entering through the windowZ
Surprisingly, her roommate was present which was unexpected but not unpleasant. She had expected the blonde to be with her vampire friend as she said she would be with for three nights. It was a planning that had been promised since Enid hasn’t fully hung out with her ‘bestfriend’ according to the vampire.
“Where were you?” Enid questioned with a notable hint of annoyance, standing up from her bed. “Hello to you to, Enid. I was in the woods.” Wednesday replied calmly as she took off her boots. Knowing, how strict Enid was with the floor being dirty.
“With?” The blonde questioned further with a frown, which was strange. She’s usually never like this.
“Thing.” The raven deadpanned, now furrowing her eyebrows. Then she walked up to her closet in search for some comfortable clothes to sleep in.
“Who else?” Enid continued as she walked up to her roommate with crossed arms.
“Why?” Wednesday quizzed with a blank expression plastered on her face.
“Was it with that wolf you like? The one you havent told me of?” The blonde accused clearly upset.
The raven paused, and now turned to her roommate. “Enid. I dont know what you’re talking about.”
“Yes you do. Yoko mentioned you liking someone during lunch in the quad. Did you forget about that? Just how you forgot to tell me that you were into someone?” Enid scoffed visibly upset with the crease in her eyebrows.
“Stupid Tanaka” Wednesday mumbled. Now her crush thought she liked someone else. How will she respond to this? If she answered by saying she didnt have romantic feelings for anyone then it wouldnt be good.
But she also didnt want to tell Enid that she liked her. The outcome would be the blonde rejecting her and the psychic wasnt ready for that.
“Who I am romantically interested in doesn’t concern you, Enid.” Wednesday replied harshly. A part inside her regreeted it once seeing, the hurt look on her roommate’s face.
“Oh.” The wolf muttered sadly, as her shoulders slightly dropped. Wednesday felt dread pool in the bottom of her stomach at the sight.
She bit her tongue as a way to keep the words, ‘Im sorry for being harsh. The truth is, I only want you’ rest only in the back of her throat. It wasnt enough though, she knew if with a bit more effort then she’d let the words slip.
“Enid I-” she tried starting but was cut off. And honestly she was relieved to be interrupted, she was’t sure what to tell the fur.
“No. You’re right.. Who you like isnt any of my business. It just...” The werewolf paused when her voice cracked. She cleared her throat.
“It just hurt that Yoko knows and I dont. I’m your bestfriend for gods sake, Wednesday. Or is it Yoko now?” Enid cried. The latter felt her heart clench as she noticed the girl infront of her getting teary-eyed.
“Enid. You are the one who I tolerate the most.” Wednesday reassured, softening her eyes which wasn’t much of a big change. But Enid has always been able to tell when it happens. “So.. Im your bestfriend.?” The blonde sniffed, soon letting a small smile crack.
“That’s not how I’d put it..” Wednesday sighed, looking back at her roommate, who was on the verge of tears.
“But yes.” She awkwardly added on afterwards. “And I never told Tanaka anything. She is making allegations.”
That seemed to make the wolf feel better. Since she was now reassured that she is Wednesday’s bestfriend but mostly because what yoko said wasnt true.
“You’re my bestfriend too, Willa.” Enid sniffed as she wiped her tears away. “I thought that wolf boy was.” Wednesday muttered through gritted teeth.
“Huh?” Enid blinked, confused. Why would she randomly mention Bruno?
“Nothing.” The goth quickly replied. “Now why did you insist someone else was present?” she hoped the latter wouldnt question the sudden change of topic.
Enid raised a brow, definitely noticed it but didn’t question, “Because you have a different scent on you. Its not your usual ink, coffee, nature smell. This one has a hint of vanilla. Its faint but I can definitely still smell it.”
“Odd. I was only with Thing.” The raven haired girl frowned. “Perhaps my stalker is on the move.” She questioned, totally unphased with the possibility that someone followed her.
“Your stalker was with you in the woods? Thats it! Im not letting you go out this late anymore.” Enid declared, taking a step forward, closer to psychic.
“Enid. I can take care of myself.” Wednesday huffed, turning around back to her closet as an attempt to make the odd sensation of spiders crawling in her stomach go away. They appeared just now when Enid got closer.
“Im sure you can, but i’m still going to worry. So, if you wanna go out in the woods then tell me.”
“I dont need your permission.” The psychic scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Not my permission, but I meant so someone could go with you.” Enid explained as she, once again took a step closer to her roommate.
Wednesday froze, as her hand landed on a shirt. She thought back to, the last time Enid accompanied her on one of her adventures. The blonde had almost died, got upset with Wednesday and was close to becoming Tanaka’s permanent roommate. It was one of the worst torture experiences, the Addam has gone through.
“No. You will not go with me.” Wednesday contested sternly as she gripped onto a piece of clothing. There was no way she’d let a repeat of last time happen again.
It was the first time she had disliked being alone. The wolf had this ability to fulfill a space in the void of the psychic’s heart. And as time passed the space grew, and Wednesday didnt seem to hate it. Instead, she enjoyed the space.
Enid pursed her lips together, “Yes I will. I’m not going to take no for an answer.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“No”
“Yes.”
“I’m not going to continue this silly argument. Final answer is no.” Wednesday spoke as she grabbed the desired clothes and walked towards the door. The fur followed close behind.
“We are most definitely going to continue this ‘silly’ argument. Watch. I will go with you.”
“No, now I have a shower to get to.” the goth announced, shutting the door.
“We’ll continue when you’re back!” Enid shouted, knowing that Wednesday would end up saying yes.
