Chapter Text
“Hey everyone! I know I know, this isn’t one of my usual Saturday streams, but I have some free time since my last class got canceled today!”
Enid flashes her bright smile, twisting side-to-side in her desk chair. Enid has been recording and streaming videos for two months now, ever since one of her TikToks went super viral. It hadn’t been anything too special, just her showing off some nail art she did on her claws, but people loved it. Yoko talked her into doing some Youtube for the heck of it, and well - she kind of blew up on the website! Apparently, there’s not a lot of supernatural Youtubers, and so when a bright and colorful werewolf popped onto the scene, she got flooded with fans.
She doesn’t post often though, college life and all that. She also doesn’t really stream, like she really doesn’t do it, and not because she’s afraid of embarrassing herself live; no, it’s a much more serious and dangerous reason. It’s because she has a roommate, an entirely unique but deadly creature in the shape of a small, young woman named Wednesday Addams. And Wednesday made it very clear the moment Enid started doing videos that she didn’t want to be in any of them.
Of course Enid took that request very seriously, and there’s never been even a hint of Wednesday in her videos. Though that’s mainly because Enid only recorded or streamed on Saturdays. She had no clue what Wednesday did on Saturdays, all she knew is that it kept the goth girl out of the dorm until midnight, and she always came back smelling like blood. So, probably for the best that Enid didn’t know.
Enid giggles as the comments fly by, but she catches a few asking her the same question. “Oh, my roommate? It’s all good! It was just my class that got canceled so she shouldn’t be back for another hour.”
“Anyways! I thought it’d be fun to stream a game! I know, me?! Playing a game!?” Enid giggles again, clasping her hands together as she wiggles in her chair, “my bestie got Planet Zoo for me so I figured why not kill some time with you guys by starting a little zoo!”
Enid rolls in closer to her desk. “I will have to cut the stream at almost an hour though, but don’t worry, I’ll stream again later once my roomie is out of the room.”
She flashes another wide smile, but it slowly melts away as the chat starts to go really fast. “Huh? What’s up guys?” It takes her a moment before she can read some of the comments.
“who is that behind u???!!!”
“IS THAT A GHOST!?”
“THERE’S A REALLY HOT GIRL BEHIND YOU!!!!”
Enid spins in her chair, and her scream surely peaks her microphone.
Wednesday, in all of her goth glory, stands right behind Enid with her usual deadpan look. “Enid, you’re live streaming.”
“Wha-what are you doing here?!”
“This is my room as well.”
“No! I mean what are you doing out of class?!”
“Oh that, the explosion in the science hall had unleashed a slime monster into my history class. I'm saddened it didn’t happen during the lecture; it would have been terribly wonderful to see Professor Cross get dissolved by said monster.”
Enid sighs heavily, she quickly turns back around and puts her hand over her webcam. “Listen, I’m so sorry, if I had known your class was canceled too, I wouldn’t have started streaming, I know you don’t want to be caught on camera.”
“Hm, a little too late for that, Enid.”
“I know! I-I’ll make sure to delete the video and any clips, I’ll do my best to make sure you’re-”
“It’s fine, Enid, I’m not angry...though if your...chat, doesn’t stop making comments on my appearance, I’ll have to take my frustrations out on you.”
“WHY ME?!”
“Because you are responsible for them.”
“I’m not their mom!”
“I’m sure their actual mothers said that to them as well.”
Enid giggles, but she quickly slaps her free hand over her mouth. “Oh my goddess, you can’t just say that on stream!”
Wednesday arches an eyebrow, a slight smirk curling the corner of her mouth. “Why? Because it made you laugh?”
“No! I didn’t laugh at that!”
“Don’t lie, Enid, I know you enjoy my sense of humor. Also,” Wednesday reaches up and pulls Enid’s hands away from both the webcam and her mouth, “you can stop doing that, I will be leaving now so you may continue to entertain these parasites.”
Enid rolls her eyes, “they’re not parasites, they're my friends.”
“Hm, they’re leeches at best, latching onto you and stealing away your time from me.”
Enid’s gaze darts to the side, avoiding Wednesday’s dark eyes. “Well...you could hang around if you want to? Maybe stream with me?”
Wednesday huffs as she crosses her arms, “I’d rather have my eyes plucked out and my fingers cut off.”
Enid pales, “a simple no will do, Weds.”
“Where’s the fun in that?” Wednesday’s arms drop down to her sides, but then one hand comes up, and Enid’s chin is pinched between a curled index finger and thumb. “I take immense pleasure from watching you squirm.”
“Uh - um, We-Weds, my uh - my stream is still going...”
Wednesday arches an eyebrow, “I’m well aware, Enid.” She then jerks Enid’s head up and down a little, a dark chuckle leaving her lips as Enid whines. “I will stop tormenting you for now.” She lets go of Enid’s chin.
Enid pouts as she quickly fixes her headset. “You’re heading out then?”
Wednesday turns and goes over to her side of the room, disappearing from the camera’s view. “As I said, I will leave so you may make a fool of yourself before the masses.”
“Do you think if I’m not funny enough I’ll be beheaded?”
Wednesday narrows her eyes at Enid, “nice try, Enid, but you do not make a fitting jester within my court.”
Enid sighs, “one of these days I will make you laugh.”
“I do find you amusing, Enid.”
“I meant with jokes and not with embarrassing myself!”
“But that is when you are most hilarious.”
Enid points toward the door with a pout, “just get out.”
Enid’s viewers watch as her roommate’s hand comes back into frame and grasps Enid’s jaw. Enid whines as her cheeks are squished, pursing her lips out of her pout.
“Don’t make that face, Enid, it’s unbecoming on you.” The goth releases Enid’s jaw, she runs her knuckles along Enid’s jawline, and then gently cups Enid’s chin, her fingers ideally scratching the underside. “I prefer that disgustingly sunny smile...may I see it?”
Enid sighs, a soft smile blossoming on her face as she looks up at Wednesday. “Only because you asked.”
“Thank you, cucciola.” Wednesday gives a single tap to the underside of Enid’s chin before drawing back. “I’m leaving now, don’t drown in the cesspool.”
Enid’s nose wrinkles up in disgust, but she spins in her chair to watch Wednesday walk out. “Stop calling it that, and bye, stay out of trouble!”
Wednesday pauses at the door to throw one more haunting look over her shoulder at Enid. “I make no promises.” She steps out of the room and slams the door shut behind her.
Enid turns back to the camera with a heavy sigh. “So sorry about that guys! But that was my roommate, Weds, don’t mind anything she said, that’s just how she is.”
The chat’s response was immediate.
“ROOMMATE??!!!! TELL ME UR JOKING”
“i thought that was ur gf”
“hate to break it to u, but that was homosexual behavior”
“LMAO right ‘roommate’ yeah i also let my roommate touch me like THAT”
“Oh come on guys! She’s my best friend, we’ve been roommates since freshman year! So what we get a bit touchy with each other, I have fought tooth and nail to get Weds to this level of physical affection! We’re just friends, and even if I was interested in her - and I’m not! Weds doesn’t do romance, she’s like, never had a partner before and like, you guys saw her; there’s a very long line of people who are waiting for the chance to date Weds.”
“omg and they were roommates”
“gay”
“gay”
“homosexual”
“gay”
“idk u sound a bit jealous there, a lil desperate, something u wanna tell us”
“why lesbians so dumb????”
“You know what, I hope all of you drown in the cesspool,” Enid hisses, and the stream is cut short.
When Enid checks her Twitter a few hours later, she almost faints from her pure horror. More than a dozen clips tweeted at her, retweeted and liked by over a thousand people and the number just keeps climbing. The worst part? She watched one clip, where Wednesday stands out of frame and is grabbing her chin, asking for a smile, and Enid feels like she’s going to throw up when she sees how dreamily she stares up at her roommate; like a worshiper kneeling before their faceless god. All the stupid comments weren’t helping the growing pit in her gut, especially the ones from her so-called friends.
