An SSBB Fanfiction
Lucas was, in his opinion, a waste of space.
His mother and brother had died because he hadn't been strong enough to save them. He had abandoned Ness, leaving him to Wario, all because he had gotten a little scared.
Weak, thought Lucas. Coward.
He trudged down the hallway of the mansion, thoroughly not enjoying himself. Peach came walking down the hallway as well, so he put a fake smile on his face and said a falsely happy yet still believable 'hello' to the peachy princess. She smiled and gave a happy "hello" back to the young psychic.
Why do they even.

"L-Lucas? Are you alright?" asked a timid voice. Lucas turned. It was Luigi.

He was rushing away from the mansion as fast as he could. He thought he could run away.
"L-Lucas? What are you doing?!" cried a familiar voice.
Ness.
Lucas turned. He stared at Ness.
He hates me

"Lucas…don't do anything hasty…" Ness was cautiously approaching the deranged blonde psychic. He began to send calming waves of energy towards Lucas, in order to get close enough to-
To what? Ness was unsure. All he knew was that Lucas wasn't himself right now. He needed Ness.
Ness…

"Lucas…? Are you oka-" Lucas fell into the raven-haired boy's arms, sobbing.
Doctor Mario was looking at Lucas' test results. "Well?" demanded Ness. "What's wrong with him?" "It seems," the doctor replied, "that Lucas' psychic powers were directly linked to his emotional state. The more stressed he became, the more powerful his powers got, and the more powerful he got, the more stressed out he became. It was inevitable," stated the doctor matter-of-factly.
"Will he be ok?" asked Ness. "Can't say for sure right now, Ness. He needs time."
Lucas was terrified. He had thought he blacked out in the hallway after saying "hi" to Peach, but apparently he had tried to kill Luigi and Ness! It was even more terrifying because he didn't remember doing a single thing. He was shaking when the doctor came in and explained everything.
The doctor said Lucas' condition could be controlled, he just had to be extremely careful. Lucas was thinking about it when Ness came in. "Lucas, I know you're scared, but we'll get you through this ok?" murmured the slightly older boy. He then kissed Lucas on his forehead. "Besides, I love you so much, I won't let anything happen to you." He was then called out by Dr. Mario, who said visitor hours were over and he needed to run some tests.
At about midnight, however, Lucas made up his mind.
He was dangerous.
Too dangerous.
He had to go.
At three o'clock in the morning, Lucas stood alone on the Sunset Beach dock. He gazed out at the ocean. He sighed, as he didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. He made sure that there were no holes in his pockets so the hefty rocks he had put in them wouldn't fall out. He gazed at the ocean again, and thought of a certain PSI using boy.
Ness, I'm so, so sorry, but…
nothing else could be done to keep you safe.
Lucas closed his eyes tightly.
He jumped.
As he hit the water, he was surprised with how cold it was. He hadn't expected that, but it was too late to turn back now. The rocks in his pockets were tugging him down through the water towards his murky end.
He heard a splash from above him.
Glancing up, Lucas realized that Ness had dove in after him, but he was sinking too fast for Ness to catch up. Then, he realized that Ness was telepathically reaching out to him.
Lucas, cried Ness in his mind, why?
Because, Ness. I'm worthless.
Ness cried out telepathically, and swam as he had never swam before. Just as Ness' arms reached around him, Lucas felt his lungs run out of air.
Ness dragged him to the surface, gasping for air, but it was too late for Lucas.
Ness had failed his love.
Lucas was in a field of sunflowers. His mother and brother were standing there. He rushed to them, and they had a tearful reunion.
Lucas didn't notice as a certain raven-haired boy approached them…
