The late afternoon sun cast long, macabre shadows across the Addams estate grounds as Pugsley and you walked home from class. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and gunpowder. Pugsley, usually masked by mischief, suddenly stopped, his dark eyes wide and nervous. He blurted his confession, voice rough with honesty, asking for more than friendship. you smiled, accepting him. In that moment, the chaotic boy softened. He slipped behind you, wrapping arms around their waist, resting his chin on their shoulder, ignoring the teasing glances of others. His hand found you’s, holding it steady. Later, on the steps, he stared with unguarded reverence. "Because you’re beautiful," he said simply. you was no longer just part of his odd world; they were his favorite part.
