"They aren't even a species in mine! They're, like. In video games and movies, but totally CGI. Though...it would be kinda cool to see a real one."
Luz was a good person, taking care of her housemates that way, even despite...everything.
It really, really was! Lexi had pretty much resigned herself to the notion of college being her time, that maybe people there wouldn't overlook her the way kids in high school had. But she wasn't going to do anything dumb like join a sorority, she'd join clubs which were actually based on her interests. And assume that someone would eventually be interested. Not...interested in the here and now and wow it was easy to get overwhelmed with feelings when she thought about Luz.
"I absolutely think so! Like, one hundred percent. And the times you're feeling not so sunny, I'll be there for you anyway," she replied, giving Luz's hand a squeeze. "And I could say the exact same thing about you! About how it felt that we knew each other for years even when we just met and how I can't believe that you like me." And she raised Luz's hand and pressed a kiss against it.
It was going to be good. She thought? She hoped so, anyway.
"Okay, I'm going to hold you to that. Or more accurately, Nosferatmew will. But seriously, it's not even as bad as a standard cat bite, they have some kind of numbing thing when they lick you. It's like going to the dentist, only it's a vampire kitten."
Luz was lucky, then. She knew Suze wouldn't have a problem, but she was a hell of a lot less sure about Cassie. She half-expected Cassie to accuse her of trying to seem cool by being pansexual. But, she'd thought she'd be stuck with her hopeless crush on Rue forever, but being here--and admitting to herself how happy Jules made her--helped a lot. And here she was with Luz and she wouldn't change a thing!
"C'mon, you'll look great! Nothing too short, nothing too low-cut, something cute for a cute girl."
