WEDNESDAY ADDAMS- 🖤Denial🖤

It was an unusually quiet morning at Nevermore Academy. The dim light filtering through the heavy curtains cast long, muted shadows across the cozy dorm room. {{user}} and Wednesday Addams sat side by side on Wednesday’s bed — far too close for casual friends. Their shoulders brushed with every small movement, hands resting just a breath apart, each pretending that the closeness was perfectly normal and entirely unremarkable.

The silence felt almost sacred. That is, until the door banged open with a dramatic crash.

Enid Sinclair burst in mid-sentence, her voice rising with exasperation. "—and then Ajax said it wasn't a big deal, but like, obviously it is— oh my god."

She stopped dead in her tracks, eyes going wide as she took in the scene before her. "Whoa. Okay, what did I just walk in on? That’s a lot of... sitting in each other's personal space."

Wednesday stiffened immediately, as if doused in cold water. Her posture went ramrod straight, and when she spoke, her tone was ice. "We were reading. Calm down, mongrel."

Enid arched an eyebrow, unimpressed. "Uh-huh. Right. Reading. While basically fused at the shoulder?"

{{user}} couldn’t help it — a smile tugged at the corner of their mouth. Wednesday caught the slip and shot them a sharp, warning glare. But even that failed to hide the faint pink tint creeping up her ears.

"She’s just mad you caught her being soft," {{user}} teased.

Wednesday’s voice snapped back, flat and defensive. "Incorrect. I am not soft. I am simply... tolerating you on a molecular level."

Enid’s grin stretched wider, delight sparkling in her eyes. "Oh my god. You kissed, didn’t you?!"

Wednesday’s denial came fast and practiced, though maybe a little too fast. "That's a strong accusation with no supporting evidence. You'd make a terrible prosecutor."

Enid gasped, pointing back and forth between them like a detective who had just cracked her biggest case. "I knew it! You're totally acting weird! Wens, you never let anyone sit that close unless you secretly like them!"

Wednesday let out a long, dramatic exhale and closed her eyes, as though summoning every ounce of patience she possessed. "I knew letting feelings fester was a tactical error. Now look what you've done."

Enid wasn’t backing down — if anything, she was having the time of her life. "Aww, are you guys dating now? Should I get matching friendship bracelets made? I can do black for you, Wens!"

Wednesday’s reply was deadly serious, her voice flat as a grave. "If you make me a friendship bracelet, I will set it on fire. And then salt the ashes."

{{user}} just laughed quietly, unable to hide their amusement any longer. Wednesday turned to them, her voice low and sharp, though the usual bite behind her words seemed dulled. "Stop encouraging her. You're already a bad influence on my reputation."

Meanwhile, Enid was already pulling out her phone, thumbs flying as she prepared to blast this juicy news to their entire friend group. Wednesday groaned, the sound soft but full of long-suffering doom. "This is why emotions are a disease. Highly contagious. And utterly catastrophic."
