⠀The smile that lit up Morticia's young face was positively radiant. They were really going to the graveyard?

⠀⠀❛ Oh, 'Rissa, you're so good to
⠀⠀⠀me! ❜

⠀She leaned into her friend's side, all but brimming with unrestrained affection for the blonde.
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“the graveyard. . .”

right well she did want to do
anything in her power to make
everything better, even if it was
just for the time when they were
together like this.

“if that’s what you want.”

[ᥫ᭡ @godssdesire]

⠀⠀⠀˛ I —— I think I'm in love . ՙ

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀A gentle shrug rolled over Morticia's shoulders, gaze dropped back down onto the book.

⠀⠀❛ Perhaps. Does it matter? I
⠀⠀⠀enjoy the worlds in these
⠀⠀⠀books. ❜
⠀

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀Holding onto Larissa's arm, Morticia walked in step with her out of their room and through the school grounds.

⠀⠀❛ It is. The graveyard is perfectly
⠀⠀⠀eerie this time of year. ❜
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“nevermore is pretty this time
of the year and in the fall of
course.”

sliding her arm into morticia’s
she smiled as they walked towards
the door.

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀⠀❛ A walk sounds lovely. ❜

⠀Fresh air would certainly be nice. It wouldn't help her sleep, but she'd been cooped up inside all day, so she needed to spread her proverbial wings.

⠀She stepped to the door in only her dress. The cold had never bothered her.
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“do you want to go for a walk?
maybe that will clear your mind
a bit.”

moving to her side of the room to
grab her cardigan, it was cold but
winter had yet to make itself known
fully.

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀It took a moment before Morticia straightened again, giving Larissa's hand a final, parting squeeze before she withdrew to stand with the book, placing it aside.

⠀⠀❛ Of course we will. ❜
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“we’ll find someone or
something. . .”

she would never say it out
loud but she refused to lose
her best friend to her own
ability.

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀Another sigh slipped free from her lips as her eyes slipped shut.

⠀⠀❛ There is so little information
⠀⠀⠀on what I have... I fear we will
⠀⠀⠀never find the answer. ❜
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“coping and giving up are
not the same thing, we
will figure something out
there are so many books
we haven’t read yet.”

even if it felt like nothing
would work, she would do
anything.

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀⠀❛ Maybe... ❜

⠀Morticia squeezed Larissa's hand gently, sliding her fingers into the other girl's in a tight, unified hold. With a sigh, she dropped her head against her roommate's shoulder.

⠀⠀❛ Or maybe I'll have to learn to
⠀⠀⠀cope with it. ❜
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“well maybe we haven’t
looked in the right place
yet.”

her tone was firm as she
curled her fingers around
morticia’s hand and squeezed
gently.

“don’t give up.”

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀A deep sigh slipped free from her lips at that question, the book clicking shut.

⠀⠀❛ Not yet. I've searched
⠀⠀⠀everything I can think of—
⠀⠀⠀runes, incantations,
⠀⠀⠀crystals— but I don't think
⠀⠀⠀anything is going to help me. ❜
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“that can be something i
can do when i am not busy.”

should a day like that ever even
arrive, but she couldn’t help the
small smile—ticklish. she had
always been ticklish there.

“have you found anything
about not being able to
sleep?”

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀⠀❛ Learn about them? Yes. I'm
⠀⠀⠀unsure of the efficiency. ❜

⠀A giggle escaped her at those words. Gently, she poked Larissa's side, eyes sparkling.

⠀⠀❛ I know you're fine, silly. It's
⠀⠀⠀to protect you from any harm;
⠀⠀⠀to keep you safe. ❜
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“can non magical people learn
about them as well? well you
know—normal people like me.”

a soft blush dusted her cheeks
she wouldn’t run away this time,
this was something—someone
she needed to lean into.

“me? i’m fine!”

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀⠀❛ Oh! Definitely! There's so
⠀⠀⠀much to learn about runes,
⠀⠀⠀but protection is the most
⠀⠀⠀important. ❜

⠀In her opinion, anyway. She inclined her head at the question, smile softening.

⠀⠀❛ Myself, and the people I care
⠀⠀⠀about— 𝘺𝘰𝘶. ❜
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“protection runes? well
that does sound like it
would come in handy.”

of course she didn’t understand
that much when she wasn’t a
witch, but she would still
listen.

“who are you trying to
protect?”

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀⠀❛ Why not? ❜

⠀A red-painted nail tapped at one of the pages of the book as she angled the tome so Larissa could see.

⠀⠀❛ These are protection runes. ❜
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“runes? why are you reading
about runes?”

a minor interest had been
piqued.

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀The young dove lifted her head to regard her roommate, red lips curled into a soft, disarming smile.

⠀⠀❛ Perhaps I am. There's a whole
⠀⠀⠀world in literature; it's the
⠀⠀⠀perfect escape from reality. ❜
⠀

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀A soft, airy laugh slipped free as she shuffled over on her bed, making room for Larissa.

⠀⠀❛ It's a runes book. ❜
⠀

[𝓵 ａｒｉｓｓａ @thetragedyofus]

“well aren’t you sweet.”

a small laugh as she took a
seat beside her.

“what are you working on?”

⠀⠀❛ How are you? Did we miss
⠀⠀⠀much? ❜

[ོ𝒯𝒾𝓈𝒽 @lostlittledove]

⠀
⠀The smile she gave Francoise was warm, genuinely pleased to see her friend after days cooped up in her dorm room with Larissa.

⠀⠀❛ Sorry, we've— been busy. ❜

⠀She winced a little at her excuse, mind flashing to the tears she'd spilled on the shapeshifter's —
