a series of [un]fortunate events || a wenclair collection [explicit]

23. today, i fell in love all over again [explicit]

A/N: The third and final part of this short little hospital arc! Then I'll go back and make sequels to the moving in chapter and the livestreaming one. Slight trigger for small mention of self-harm and depression.

Enid's POV

I don't remember anything that happened the other day, but I was in the same bed with Wednesday. Today was her last day of being in the hospital. It turned out she would need to use crutches for about two weeks, and she would need to stay off the leg, but it wasn't anything serious. I was absolutely relieved, but of course Wednesday was as deadpan as ever. 

"Hmmph. How macabre. But I suppose I can breathe a sigh of relief now that I do not have to suffer through the incessant chatter of the Nevermore cretins for a while... and I will admit... it will be nice to spend time with you, Enid..."

I smiled at her... But on the inside, I was scared. Not for Wednesday, but for me... I didn't know how she would react if I told her this secret I've been keeping since I came to see her in the hospital... It was why I didn't want to go back to my house...

"Um.. W-Willa... I have something I need to tell you, and I don't know how you're going to take it.."

Wednesday frowned in annoyance.

"Just get to the point, Enid. You cannot predict how I will respond if you do not spit it out."

Okay... she had a point...

"I've started to... umm... hurt myself on purpose... On the outside, I act as if nothing bothers me, but everytime I think of going back home... I claw myself because I'm... I don't want to deal with it anymore... It's why I cling so much to you because... if I lose you... I don't know what I'll do... I'm scared, Wednesday..."

I whispered the last sentence to her with a choked-up voice... but it felt so fucking good to tell her... I was scared to look at her face...

"Enid... Look at me... please.."

I very slowly stared at her... God, she was so cute...

"I have told you that... you have left a mark on me that I never thought was possible. You have caused me to open up and allow you to touch me. I am comfortable with you, and I cannot imagine my life without your presence..."

I started to say something, but Wednesday didn't let me...

"I am not done... I have never promised this to anyone ever, nor will I admit this if you say anything, but... I am not going to leave you, Enie. I am bonded to you eternally, you have become a part of me that I do not wish to separate. You are my light where I am darkness and everything in between. You, cara mia, are everything I did not know I needed... please, I beg of you, do not mark your skin, it... pains me to know that you did... I implore you not to listen to the berating of your mother. I need you in my life, I cannot bear to see you gone... not again nor ever. This injury is minor, and I will recover. But a broken heart from losing you, I would surely die... Everytime I look at you, I fall in love over and over again, and that has never happened to me, but I am glad that it did. Enid, I love you. You know this and I hope that you never forget it. You are... my darling, darling wolf.."

And then she leaned in and kissed me... but it wasn't a desperate kiss... it was... heavily emotional, like Wednesday was trying hard to keep us in this moment, because her face was wet with tears, and when we broke out of the kiss... she was crying. It was quiet, but I heard her, and it fucking broke my heart... I hate it when she cries, because it was so rare, but it hit me like a goddamned freight train, because it's her most vulnerable emotion that she only shows when she's scared... she doesn't even cry in front of her parents, and that's what makes it the worst...

"Willa... you're crying..."

Wednesday nodded, allowing herself to cry, but quietly so she wouldn't alert her parents. They had like, hawk-like hearing sometimes...

"Be... Because I love you, Enid Sinclair... I have never l-loved as hard as I have loved you... I cannot wait any longer... I want to marry you as soon as possible... I need you to say yes... I want to be your wife... I... I w-want to protect you..."

"Yes.... With all of my heart and soul... Yes, I will marry you, Wednesday Addams. I will marry you over and over again and even more... I love you, Wednesday... I love you so damn much..."

I kissed her deeply and passionately, and she returned the kiss as the same, if not more, passion as she cried into our kiss, and I held her close until we fell asleep...

We woke up maybe two hours later and were told that Wednesday could go home. Wednesday's mother motioned to me to ride back to their house with them, they had a surprise waiting for me... I already knew what it was, as Wednesday gave me a quick smile, snuggling up to me. 

It was finally happening... My dream was coming true.... I was finally going to be an Addams, and spend the rest of my life with the girl that I continuously fall in love with...

I guess dreams do come true..

E N i D. 

A/N: Don't worry, I promise I won't make Enid's mother a monster, she's just... misguided and wrong in her ways. She will become better. And my heart goes out to anyone that suffers through actual situations where mothers aren't always the best. My heart is with you. The next story will be lighthearted.

A/N 2: I really want to make a second part to the "stink" chapter, but I already know people will be like, "fart jokes, nooo". So I present a question if you guys read up to this point: Would you all be okay with yet another fart joke chapter, and if you just don't care about it, how stinky should i make it? Let me know.
