Ninten sat on the blue, red and white bed in his room, legs crossed while he stared at the blue wall in his room, thinking.
He heard four knocks in a familiar pattern on his door and knew the one he called over had arrived. He always knocked like that.
The bandana boy looked over to the door just as it opened, seeing his raven-haired opposite walk in.
"Uh, you called me here, Ninten...?" Ness said, a curious expression adorning his face as he walked in and sat on the chair in front of Ninten's computer.
"Yea, I need your help with something." Ninten replied, standing up and slightly bending over the other high school boy to access his computer.
Ness leaned back in the chair to give the other some more room. "With what, exactly...?" He asked, giving a suspicious look to Ninten. He didn't exactly trust the other boy's plans so quickly-they were usually on the other side of the earth from the box.
Ninten stayed quiet and brought up the messaging program they usually used, clicking on his and Claus' conversation and scrolling up.
"Here. Read these messages," Ninten directed, going back a few spaces to sit on his bed and watch as Ness read through the messages.
About half-way through, Ness gasped at the new information.
~Messages at 4 P.M~
[PSIOreo-Love]: hey, Clausy, what's up?
[ChimeraClaus]: Ugh, that nickname... and... I need to talk to you, Ninten.
[PSIOreo-Love]: hehe. what is it? I'll take you as serious as I PSI-ibly can.
[ChimeraClaus]: That pun sucked, Ninten.
[PSIOreo-Love]: shut up. what is it already?
[ChimeraClaus]: This is serious. Please, take me seriously. I have a confession to make about Lucas.
[PSIOreo-Love]: about Lucas? Is he hurt? DID YOU KILL HIM
[ChimeraClaus]: What?! No! Ninten!
[PSIOreo-Love]: sorry! go on, go on
[ChimeraClaus]: I, uh... well, um, about Lucas... I.. have.. this thing about him
[PSIOreo-Love]: what thing? are you taking stalker pictures of him? Lucas shrine?
[ChimeraClaus]: Alright, I'm done.
[PSIOreo-Love]: No no no! I'm sorry!ok, ok ok tell me, I swear to the Eight Melodies I'll be serious this time
[ChimeraClaus]: ...Fine. I'm in love with Lucas.
[PSIOreo-Love]: ...
[PSIOreo-Love]: Claus, are you stupid? of course you love Lucas, he's your brother you robot
[ChimeraClaus]: No, no, Ninten... of course I love him as a brother, but... I'm in love with him. Something more.
[PSIOreo-Love]: ... Clausy! how, why, when and where? how do you know the difference between love love and brotherly love? when did you find out?
[ChimeraClaus]: I... I don't.. know... I don't want to, I just...
[PSIOreo-Love]: Clausy, Claus, come over here now! and that's a demand from your best friend whether you like it or not
~Messages at 8 P.M~
[ChimeraClaus]: Thanks for helping me with that, Ninten... I've never really felt this way about anyone and of course the first person I do feel it for is my own twin brother...
[PSIOreo-Love]: don't worry, Claus! I'm going to do everything I can to get you and Lucas together, which means plenty of cuddling and ;DD between you two when I'm done!
[ChimeraClaus]: Yea, thanks...
[ChimeraClaus]: Wait, what?! Ninten, don't you dare!
[PSIOreo-Love]: aw, why not?!
[ChimeraClaus]: Because... because reasons! Don't do it, Ninten!
[PSIOreo-Love]: alright, alright, I won't...-maybe- see ya later, Claus! good luck with your existential crisis!
[ChimeraClaus]: Remind me why I'm friends with you again
[PSIOreo-Love] come on, don't be like that. but seriously, I'm forcing Ness to come over to my house so
[ChimeraClaus]: I'm not even going to ask why
[PSIOreo-Love] you wouldn't want to know anyways ;D
[ChimeraClaus]: UGH I KNOW you're not going to do that. BYE.
Ness scoffed at the last message Ninten sent knowing his playful nature, but was still silent after. He was sure what to think, to be honest. It wasn't bad, it was just... the least thing he expected to read right now.
It took him a full minute and a half to speak.
"...Oh."
"Yea, it was a crazy shocker to me, too. And that's why I need your help." Ninten commented.
"To...?" Ness prompted, spinning the chair around to face the other boy. 'Ninten, he told you not to, don't say what I think you're going to...'
"Get them together, of course!" Ninten finished, a sense of proudness in his voice.
"Ninten, no."
"Ninten, yes."
"Just leave them to themselves, they'll figure it out!"
"Ness, have you seen them? Lucas is just too shy, he'll never speak up, and since Claus has never felt this way about anyone before and he doesn't know what to do with said feelings, he's probably-no, definitely-is going to screw up trying to tell Lucas. Ness." Ninten tried to convince the capped boy, but now he only seemed half-half.
Ninten stood up and went to cup Ness' cheek, leaning down a little and patting his head. "Please, Nesu~"
Said boy gasped and pushed Ninten away, jumping up from the chair. "Oh my god, Ninten, don't call me that, don't do that, there's so many things wrong with what you just did, fine I'll help you."
Ninten laughed and covered his mouth, resisting the urge to double over in laughter.
"A-Alright," He took a breath and let out a few last chuckles to get it out of his system, then looked to Ness. "I have a few plans in mind. I just hope Clausy doesn't find out that we're the ones doing all the stuff when it happens."
That was so vague, but Ness was used to it by now. Ninten would never let you know what's going to happen until it's one second from happening.
"Alright, the first plan is pretty easy." Ninten sat at the computer chair and brought up a picture from one of his folders that he didn't catch the name of. But when he saw what the picture was, he gave Ninten a incredulous look.
"Tell me why in the world you have a map of Lucas and Claus' house and why."
"Duh, for this plan. Now come here," He said, gesturing for Ness to come closer (which took some effort actually, Ness was not happy to be near the other again) and began speaking of the plan.
