EDIT: Finally got around to cleaning up the first part. Now it should not be full of sleep deprived errors.

Hello! Decided to write what I've originally intended on being as an one shot but being me, for some reason, I feel motivated to type out stories in the wee hours of the morning. So, here I am kicking myself in the butt as I'm currently in class running on almost 24 hours.

So, I've decided to make it a two-shot story instead featuring one of my favorite Smash Bros pairings, Dark Pit x Lucina. The second part will definitely be up by tomorrow as well as an proper cover image.

I'll probably go back and clean it up when I'm done and actually get some sleep.

Anyways, here's an Dark Pit x Lucina Modern AU for you all!


It happened to be another, typical boring day in middle school. Every single day, Dark Pit always forced himself to go through the same routine from Monday through Friday. The overconfident angel seemed to be engulfed by a vast sea of his own thoughts, spacing out as he glanced out the window that sat near the left side of his desk. There was no need for paying attention, especially since it was always the same thing day in and day out. First of all, the teacher would always go off on a tangent about subjects he had no absolute interest in. Secondly, he was forced to be in an classroom full of students he couldn't even bring himself to even care for nor could he even stand them. Through the dark angel's own perspective, he viewed his peers to be an absolute bother who either tried too hard to act like an grown-up, clung onto their childlike mentalities or simply, those type of students who thought of themselves being hardcore, interrupting the learning environment to the point where the teacher would send them out to the office immediately.

Giving off a disgruntled sigh, Dark Pit turned his head forward, leaning on the palm of his right hand while gazing at the whiteboard full of notes from today's science lecture. Glancing over towards the direction of the clock, to his own relief, he noticed in about within thirty more minutes, school would be done with and over for the day.

"Alright class, may I please have your undivided," Mr. Wright requested, surveying each and every one of his last period students. The science teacher noticed right away two girls' passing notes with each other, another student who appeared to have fallen asleep during his lecture while the other student appeared to be in their own world, spacing out as they were engrossed in their own adventure their imagination played out for them. Being slightly peeved at their behavior, Mr. Wright couldn't help but frown a bit, giving off an slightly disappointed look in their direction.

Clearing his throat, the green haired man took a moment to collect his thoughts a bit before reprimanding the four.

"Excuse me, Peach stop exchanging notes with Samus, Mac, how many times have I told you not to put your head on the desk and last but not least, Link, please do me a favor and get your head out of the clouds," Mr. Wright ordered, giving them a stern look.

Peach and Samus groaned, muttering a few words under their breath while Little Mac slowly rose his head from the desk, joining the rest of the class as he appeared to be slightly disorientated due to his little afternoon nap. Link on the other hand, rolled his eyes and took a deep breath before sighing in frustration, a bit miffed because another fantastic journey was once again, interrupted by the science teacher.

"Anyways continuing on, class," asked Mr. Wright, "Can anyone tell me what the six pathogens are?"

The entire classroom grew silent as the only noises that were heard was one student's cough, another student sniffling a bit while the other student near Dark Pit's desk appeared to be breathing loudly.

"I'm about to lose it if someone doesn't answer the nuisance's measly question. I already hate being here enough as it is. I don't need to listen to the sounds of sir coughs a lot, Shulk the sniffler or even green Mario's loud, nasally breathing," Dark Pit thought to himself. His brows began to narrow a bit as the slight noises started getting under his skin, causing the cocky dark haired youth to grit his teeth. Thankfully, a brave soul volunteered, getting up from their desk as every student turned their heads towards the direction of their savior.

"The six pathogens are fungus, helminths, prions, viruses, bacteria, and last but not least, protozoa."

Perking up with interest, the dark angel recognized the calm, soothing, feminine voice from anywhere as it belonged to none other than his childhood friend and crush.

Mr. Wright appeared to have an blank face for a moment before his lips curled into a smile. The man started clapping, beaming with delight as the student answered his question correctly.

"Bravo, bravo! Class, I want you all to give out an hand of applause over to Lucina Iris for giving out the correct answer," chirped the teacher.

Some students in the class clapped while others seemed to be occupied by something else whether it was their notebooks, cellphones or even their own imaginations. Lucina couldn't help but slightly blush as all of the flattery appeared to be embarrassing her. Smiling slightly, the blue haired girl gazed at her teacher before she spoke.

"You're welcome Mr. Wright but to be honest, there's really no need for all the flattery. All I did was answer an simple question, nothing more," Lucina stated.

Mr. Wright adjusted his glasses before resuming on the conversation as well as the final part of the class period.

"As my star pupil, you deserve lots of praise, "answered the older man, "but moving on, I want you guys to answer questions one through five on page 342 in your textbook. You may choose to work alone, in pairs, or in a small group no larger than four."

After giving out the assignment for the remainder of the class period, Mr. Wright sat at his desk, browsing the computer as he began playing catch up with his emails.

Of course when the teacher happens to be preoccupied on another task, the students began forming their own little groups, usually consisting of their friends as they seemed to be focused on their sidebar conversations rather than the actual assignment itself.

Dark Pit leered over in Lucina's direction, observing the indigo haired girl who appeared to be one hundred percent focused on the assignment. Looking down at his textbook, he decided to cave in and answer the questions but in spite of it all, the murmurs of the other students began getting to him, causing him to lose focus.

"Hey Daisy," Peach asked. "Are you going to the school dance Saturday night by any chance?"

The auburn haired girl grinned, nodding frantically to express her excitement. "Of course! I mean, who wouldn't want to even go?! Speaking of Saturday, that reminded me of something I need to ask you. Did you ask him out to the dance yet?" said Daisy, being curious about the blonde's personal life.

The dark haired angel sighed lowly, growling under his breath. He didn't pay much heed nor put much thought into the school dance or anything to do with social interaction. To him, he found such events to be a complete waste of time seeing how one could spend their time on something more meaningful than an lousy, meaningless dance. However to his own dismay, Lucina just happened to be into those sorts of things as he recalled her bragging about it to Robin at one point. So, with a change of plans, Dark Pit decided to partake in the upcoming event this weekend on one condition: he must muster up the courage and confess his feelings to Lucina once and for all.

The conversations of the other students grew louder by each passing minute as the dark haired angel placed his hands over his face, moving them downward to express his annoyance. He yearned for the bell to ring already so he could taste freedom's sweet embrace. Today, luck happened to be on his side as the bell went off, startling some of the students as they frantically began cleaning up as class was done and over with for the day.


Dark Pit journeyed his way towards his locker, putting in his combination to put away his textbook. As he opened it, an neatly decorated envelope flew out, hitting the ground. At first, he was bewildered but then remembered that he should have been used to it by now. The young angel knelt down, grabbing the envelope as he began reading the letter that was inside. Attached to it was none other an green apple flavored jolly rancher. He knew right away that the letter was from none other than his secret admirer as it was written in the finest cursive he ever laid eyes upon.

Dear Kuro-chi,

How are you faring on this lovely day? Did things happen to go well for you last night? I knew you weren't feeling all that great yesterday so in return, I've decided to share one of my great-grandmother's soup recipes with you. I hope you really like it! Every time I see you more and more, my infatuation for you grows stronger by each passing day. My burning desire to be with you glows brightly, yearning for your enchanting voice, scent, embrace, and most of all, your soft lips. You already know this by now but I'll say it again. My love for you burns with the intensity of a thousand suns. I love you with all of my heart Kuro-chi as you're the sun that shines ever so brightly, giving an wallflower like me the hope I need while I am the moon that embraces you at night. Everyday I can't help but fantasize about you from your gorgeous pair of crimson eyes, your dark, luxurious hair to that dreamy smile of yours. Oh, if only I could gather up the courage to confess to you face to face but alas, I'm afraid. So, I'll continue to admire your presence from afar and learn more about you.

Love always,

Your secret admirer

Opening the envelope once more, he grabbed the soup recipe and stuffed it into his pockets before shoving the letter inside his backpack. He recalled getting his first letter three months ago as within each passing day, the admirer grew more and more desperate by the minute. Unfortunately for them, the angel already had someone in mind, someone he knew he could put his complete trust in. Closing his locker, the teenager began heading towards the exit only to have someone tap him on the shoulder. Frowning in disgust, he quickly turned around to see who he was going to sock this time until he saw it was only her.

"Great… just who I've wanted to see out of all people..."

The girl in front of him donned an elegant, lacy, cream colored dress that complimented her lavender hair. Her amethyst eyes avoided eye contact with his crimson ones as the girl appeared to be holding something.

"H-here," she said in a soft, meek tone. "I-I um… w-wanted to ga-give this back to you."

Glancing over at the object, it was none other than his Algebra notes. Grabbing it, he'd gave her his usual scowl, the one he always gave to everyone else on campus.

"Okay Stutters, now can you promise you'll do me the favor of leaving me alone?" requested the arrogant angel.

"S-sorry!"

The girl took off, disappearing from his sight as he watched her for a couple of seconds before shrugging. Making his way towards the double doors, Dark Pit pushed them, stepping outside as he was greeted by none other than the wind's cool breeze. It passed by, whispering faint, inaudible messages to him as the dark angel made his way towards the school gates only to come face to face with Lucina.

"Hey," she greeted.

He wondered what she, out of all people, wanted from him. Dark Pit just wanted to go home at this point however decided against it. After all, it was Lucina who've stopped him in his tracks this time.

"Any reason why you're blocking the exit?" he questioned, giving her an look.

"Well, I just wanted to ask you to meet me at the park where we first met in an hour, that's all," answered the blue haired girl. With those words, she quickly left the campus grounds, leaving him only with an confused expression on his face.

He wondered what that was all about even, especially recalling that he's never seen Lucina act like this before. After a minute or two of pondering, Dark Pit took off, deciding to kill an hour at the arcade near Glory Park. Little did he know, an pair of violet eyes watched him from a far as he vanished from their eye sight and from within their reach.

"So, when are you actually going to stop gawking like an hairless monkey and confess to him?"

The lavender haired girl from earlier turned around, seeing it was none other than her best friend Viridi. The platinum blonde looked at her, nudging the young teenager as gave her an playful, yet taunting look.

"What's stopping you anyways? I mean, it's Dark Pit for crying out loud! He may act all haughty and tough but he's just as much of a loser as Pit is," exclaimed Viridi. She honestly didn't see what attracted her friend to the dark angel out of all people but instead of pressing on, it was better left off as an mystery.

"I… I don't know," she replied, looking down. "I just get really nervous when I'm around him."

"Say, you know what helps? Pretending that you're someone else! Even better, view the other competition as enemies and take them down before they even have a chance to strike," boasted the blonde.

The girl stood quiet before nodding. Today, she decided that she's finally stepping down and confessing her feelings to her crush. In addition to that, she'll also ask him out to the school dance. The young lavender haired girl smiled softly at Viridi, being thankful for her exotic, yet inspiring words of encouragement.

However, the girl's facial expression crumbled when one of her greatest fear occurred as she contemplated. Furthermore, it didn't help that Lucina also happened to be smitten with him, even more so, knew him since he was little.

Looking down, the young girl tried her best to hold back tears that began welling up. She muttered to herself at an extremely low volume, her voice being full of nothing but melancholy.

"I just hope that he isn't forever destined to be bound to another…"


And that's the end of part one of this two-shot. Hope you stay around for part two, especially since that's when we get to see what Lucina exactly wants to tell him. Oh, and Pit as well.

I'll most likely be posting future fic ideas and explain how I plan on tackling some stories at the end of the second part as well as when I update my profile page which is not going to be right now.

I do plan on having a comedic Dark Pit x Lucina Valentine's Day one shot though! I'll give you one hint about it though; it is a follow up on the Christmas Story I've wrote(which I still need to go back and fix errors lol) as it will reveal the person who've got his phone number.

Anyways, I'm going to be off to my next class in a bit. Wish me luck on not trying to fall asleep lol.

PS. I also happen to ship a couple of new pairings as well(I fall for things easily seeing how I'm tolerable of all pairings) and bummed about one of them because I wish for a serious story with that pairing rather than the crackfic it came from! Even better, said crackfic started on tumblr first.

See you at part-two!
