(For sake of convenience in this one shot, more has been learned about Hydes so the outcasts don’t all hate Tyler and he’s a Nevermore student).

It was Wednesday’s second year at Nevermore and it was time for the Rave’N Dance again and no one was surprised that her date was the same person it was last year. She’d never admit it but her and Tyler might as well be a couple. Tyler still had obvious feelings for her and she returned them, just not as obviously. But she tolerated him and a lot of people knew that was some sign to their relationship.

Wednesday was sitting, people watching before she would do anything interesting. She wasn’t much of a dancer anyways. At least, not in the way everyone else at the dance was. She wasn’t going to do any cheesy slow dance. Or at least that’s what she had told herself at the start of the night.

Tyler eventually went to get them some punch and she had joined, wanting to get her own as she knew he would be careful to not give her much since it was likely spiked but she didn’t care. She tried to be polite about it, just grabbing her own cup as he was getting his own.

“I was going to get it for you,” he told her with a curious expression.

“I’d rather get my own… but thank you.” She said the last part quietly, she’d rather be murdered than have anyone like Enid hear her say thank you to someone for something rather minuscule.

Tyler nodded, smiling a little before walking over to some seats. Wednesday joined him and they drank their punch in peace for a while, watching the party unfold.

Their peace was interrupted a while later when a girl who Wednesday recognized as a vampire asked Tyler if he wanted to dance. Wednesday thought this girl must have a death wish as she believed practically the whole school called Tyler “hers” and knew of their “relationship.” Wednesday was more annoyed at the fact that the girl was acting as if she wasn’t even there.

Tyler looked over to Wednesday hesitantly and since Wednesday didn’t want to show such an emotion like jealousy she didn’t say a word and kept her face neutral. Tyler didn’t know how to take that but set his cup down and stood up. The vampire girl smiled as she grabbed one of his arms and started dragging him towards the dance floor.

Wednesday let it happen, but not for long. She kept a close eye on them and when the girl got a little too close for her liking she seethed and got up. She approached the pair though once she got to them she didn’t quite know what to say without it being obvious she was jealous.

After a moment when the pair were both staring at her, the vampire with annoyance and Tyler with a slightly amused expression, she said, “Enid said she wants to see Tyler.” She grabbed ahold of one of his hands and pulled him away from the vampire, who scoffed and gave Wednesday a mean glare but she returned one twice as mean.

Once they were far enough away she stopped Tyler and wrapped her arms around his neck as he hooked his arms around her waist. “I’m the only one you dance with, got it?” She asked bluntly, annoyance clear in her voice.

Tyler nodded as he smiled at her, trying to contain a laugh. She noticed the expression and furrowed her eyebrows, “what’s so funny?”

“You’re jealous, that’s what,” he replied as he finally let out a small laugh.

“I am not.” There was no way in hell she was going to ever admit to that, no matter how true it was.

“Well, does Enid need to see me?”

“No,” she responded quickly without thinking. She realized her mistake only after he replied, “then that’s not why you had taken me away from the girl.”

Wednesday scowled as she let go and moved to try and walk away. He caught her by her hand and moved to spin her around to which she had to reluctantly follow through with. He then pulled her close, “It’s okay to admit you were jealous, Wednesday.”

“Jealousy isn’t an emotion I’m capable of,” she responded simply.

“Then you wouldn’t care if I danced with another girl?” He inquired, leaning down a little to try and meet her dark eyes that were more focused on the space behind him than on him.

She struggled to reply as she answered honestly after a couple moments, “I would care.”

“Then you’re jealous,” he said back with an amused smile as she glared up at him.

“I just don’t trust others,” she shot back as she raised her chin, trying to get back her confidence. She wasn’t going to admit to Tyler that she didn’t want anyone else to dance with him. That was pathetic.

“I also thought you didn’t like to dance,” he added with a teasing smile.

She took in and let out an angry breath, “Shut up.”

“Make me.”

Wednesday was not one for public displays of affection but she had used this method several times before and it had been effective so she pulled him down by his suit collar and kissed him roughly.

She made it quick though so no one would have noticed it unless they had been closely watching the pair.

As she fixed his collar a bit he joked with her, “You’re such a tease.”

“Get used to it,” she replied, a smile threatening to tug at the corners of her mouth.

“I will,” he smiled before he pulled her in for another kiss which she accepted and returned, a bigger part of her than she would admit hoping the vampire girl was seeing it.
