Well, hello, there, everybody! It's PK2 here, with a little quick mini-project! This here is a collection of songfic oneshots with my number-one OTP, Dark Pit x Lucina! These oneshots will be based of of one song each, and they will have a word limit to them! Each one will be more than 500 words, but less than 750 words. So, around 550-700 words.
The song that this oneshot is based of of is "Love Lockdown" by Kanye West. Normally, the song title and artist will be in the chapter title. I'm just telling you the song title and artist here since FFN won't let us name chapters until the second one is uploaded.
Enough of the rules, let's do this!
Oh, and, BTW, I don't own SSB.
"You know what I've just realized?"
"Er…what, exactly?"
"The fact that the point of our relationship is completely and utterly nonexistent due to the total lack of love between us."
Well, that was a lovely sentence to contemplate the strawberries and potato chips that Dark Pit and Lucina had brought along on this three-month anniversary picnic.
Dark Pit managed to swallow the carrot that he had been chewing before Lucina dropped that little bomb on him, and then turning to his girlfriend. The glare she was giving him now reminded him of Bowser staring down his opponent for a match, which was very un-Lucina-like, especially for an occasion like this-an occasion that was supposed to be happy. But what was even worse was that Lucina had pretty much exposed Dark Pit's greatest regret right there and then. Not to mention the fact that she was basically dumping him.
"Umm…what do you mean, 'total lack of love between us'?" Dark Pit asked sheepishly while reaching out for a piece of jerky. He quickly popped it into his mouth and turned away in the hopes that she would drop the subject, but alas, no such luck, as Lucina then proceeded to give Dark Pit a monologue longer than William Harrison's inauguration speech.
"Don't give me that 'what-do-you-mean' bullcrap, because you should know exactly what I mean! Every goddamn moment of these last three months with you has been nothing but broken promises, cancelled dates, and twenty-word conversations that end when you say you have to go out somewhere! You're an irresponsible monkey who can't pay attention to his own girlfriend for thirty goddamn seconds, for Naga's sake!"
Well, screw me up the backend. Dark Pit thought to himself.
He did love Lucina a lot. The problem was, he was in a position that basically allowed him ten nanoseconds with the people he cared about. For some reason, Master Hand put him in at least seventy-five Brawls every week with no explanation whatsoever. And when he wasn't fighting, he was in one of three places; the training room so that he could train for another match, the clinic so that Dr. Mario could fix up the bruises he had gained during said matches, or some store within the area, running errands for Crazy Hand-who, for some reason, thought that Pittoo was his robot slave.
When you look at it all, really, it's no wonder Dark Pit barely has time to take a nice, warm shower, let alone dress up in a tuxedo and go to Ruby Tuesday with Lucina.
"Look, I…I do love you. A lot. So, so much. You see, the problem is that I have no time to spend with anyone, not even my friends! I'm Master Hand's favorite person to throw into battles, and then I have to either train or get healed, and that's when I'm not doing some sort of stupid job for Crazy Hand-"
"And you haven't thought about complaining? Okay, that's it, we're through."
With that, Lucina abandoned Dark Pit in the park to contemplate his foolish oversight.
Well...that was certainly lovely. Kicking things off with a breakup on an anniversary. I'M SO SORRY, THAT'S WHAT THE SONG LYRICS BASICALLY TOLD ME TO DO! Oh, BTW, I'll be basing the oneshots primarily on the song lyrics. So, if you're confused about the meaning of the oneshot, look up the lyrics.
Well, it looks like we're done here! But, before I close off, I just have one last thing to say...
Requiescat in Pace, Satoru Iwata, 1959-2015.
See y'all soon! (Runs off to mourn Iwata)
