"See, that's the cool thing about places like this. That things which are completely fictional where I'm from are absolutely real in this or other worlds. It's like getting to live out some novel or manga only, you know. Actual danger, not pretend danger?"
Lexi had yet to form a similar family. She had people she liked and who liked her, but she figured she hadn't really reached that level of comfort with anyone other than Luz. She was considering asking for a roommate around the time new people came and figured she'd be a good one since she could cook and clean.
She was more herself here than she felt okay about being back home. She hadn't always been such an internal person, she used to be outgoing and friendly, but junior high and high school really forced her inside. She'd imagine she wasn't herself, she was a character in a TV series and that if she wanted to, she could call cut at any moment.
But she wouldn't change a single thing about her relationship with Luz. She felt so comfortable with her, that she was appreciated for being herself and that she not only didn't have to pretend to be a character, she didn't want to.
"Of course I'll have patience. There's no guarantee that anyone will come back, that we can even know to say good-bye. It's...almost like death. It's that final."
Hey, she could be as romantic and sappy as she wanted to be and she knew Luz would be charmed, not weirded out. And Lexi hugged her back tightly, leaning against Luz's shoulder.
"Yeah, I can safely say that there's zero percent chance of that happening," Lexi said with a giggle. "Nosferatmew is very considerate."
Real vampires could stay away forever, as far as she was concerned.
They need to have a sappy slow-dance at some chance. Or make the chance. And despite being so close to San Francisco, it really wasn't all that gay-friendly, it was true. It was just about the only place around that area which voted Republican. Which was gross, but that was what leaving for college was. Eventually.
And Lexi's grin grew wider and wider. "Goddess-y? No one's called me anything like that before, but I think I could get used to it," and she lifted her head up enough to give Luz a kiss.
