And Lexi had been certain that she was the only one seeing things, as she had been with Rue. So she'd been shy about the possibility of another love, even one who seemed to feel the same way about Lexi that Lexi felt about her. And she was elated that they were able to make things work.
As was Lexi. All it took was a thought of Luz and she was giddy. Maybe she was being overly sentimental, but it seemed like Luz felt as sentimental as Lexi did. That was an almost miraculous change than it had been from home.
It terrified Lexi. Cassie tried to reassure her, that everyone their age on down would eventually have nudes leaked on the internet, but that had the exact opposite effect as what Cassie seemed to want to have. It made Lexi feel cheap and tawdry and like she wasn't worth more than as an object for guys to get aroused by. She didn't want that. Not ever.
"I know...Is there anything I can help you with? To get better?" Lexi asked. She'd do literally anything to heal Luz.
And Lexi nearly melted. Really. Into a puddle. "You're extra sweet just by being you."
"It would be. I do like getting dressed up when I can, even though it's probably a tool of the patriarchy to keep us down. But if it's my choice to wear a pretty dress so my girlfriend can be proud to have me on her arm, that's different, right?"
"Yes, another kiss! Until you feel better!" And that would be how it would be until Luz was back to 100%.
