Luz let out a bit of a forced laugh here. "Trust me, I've been there. The magic of that lasts fora bit until you realize that some of the scarier things, we think were fantasy could exist too. But I totally get it."
Real danger was honestly a thing that she had to grapple with and realize that yes, that was not only actually real, when you did things that could potentially kill you, it hurt the people around you that cared. That was when you started to realize who that family actually was, the ones that made sure that you took better care of yourself. Luz did hope that Lexi would be able to find people like that for herself.
Luz could relate. There was a time before she got older where she didn't feel so boxed in, that she was freer spirited and carefree. When Papa died, she found that her intensity had increased while her own ability to retain social cues decreased, and this led to problems in school that eventually came to a head where Luz was going to be sent to that camp.
So much had happened since then though, and Luz herself had changed so much. Now she was here, and with someone she was sure her parents would be happy with, someone that accepted her and found just as engaging as she found THEM. Luz could just be her usual, bubbly self and Lexi liked that. It sometimes felt too good to be true.
"I hope its never you," Luz said defensively, kissing her nose. "You should be here, with me, plotting silly romantic schemes and getting spoiled."
And then the hug and Luz ducked her head and laughed, overjoyed her girlfriend was still making her blush just by these small little things.
"Good! Because she's cute enough that I probably would let her put me into torpor, you know."
Luz will never stop being the adorable nerd you know, Lexi.
If Luz had her way, she'd whisk Lexi off to a gay little spot for just the two of them and well, look at that! Now they had one!
"Good, because I don't think I'll stop calling you that anytime soon!"

Luz leaned into the kiss, holding Lexi closer.
