Are you in for a ride! and for that, I mean, boy, you're probably curious about this fanfic, and let me tell you this is a second draft of this piece of garabage, but you know what? Since I'm grown out of my...Horrid writing area, (Yeaaaaa, sorry, the other two fanfics are going down...SORRYYYYYY~~~~) SO here is the rewritten version of Who says, and trust me the old version wasn't something to shit yourself over. neither will this verison, I'm not a brilliant writer, but it's better then the original so there's a change...Enjoy..(?)
In a way, Ness is glad he was given this amount to think about about this subject. Yes, it harmed him to think about how the second person he actually really liked beyond friends, beside Paula, was now infatuated with his used-to-be best friend Red. What was he to do? Nothing. He wasn't going off to the ends of the Earth to win Lucas' heart, because quite frankly, Lucas already has his sights set on someone. Someone that wasn't Ness. He already remembered the memory so well, he can remember the refreshing small of recently cut grass, and the brightest sky he ever laid his eyes on, as beyond the thick tree Ness hid behind, with a little yellow flower he had plucked for Lucas, he witness something that had traumatized him a second time.
The first this had happened, when the journey to defeat Giygas was over, Ness had one last walk with Paula before he and her would say goodbye forever. Her golden hair, and ruffled pink dress was the look Ness had grown to be accustomed to. She wasn't weak, but strong. To be honest, Ness knew that without her, he wouldn't have made it. Not only was she one to take breaths away with her beauty, but her personality had struck chords in Ness' heart, she was perfection...But to her, Ness was not.
"I'm sorry Ness, I just don't feel that way about you. I thought of you more has a big brother rather then a boyfriend. Sorry..." Ness held the yellow flower he plucked for Paula, but soon, it's potential owner walked away to her house, leaving Ness surprised, and traumatized. There a few days after, he had found out, that the reason Paula did not return his feelings, was because Jeff was who Paula was interested in, and Ness was shattered.
Now, here in Super Smash Brothers Mansion, he met a boy. Golden blond hair, ruffled clothes of red and yellow, with shorts just like him. Strong for sure, and personality at first was cute, innocent, then spiraled to that of fun loving, and general sweetness. Ness had fallen once again, and wanted another try, but when he decided to tell him, he spotted Lucas and Red beyond the tree Ness hid behind. Lucas grasped Red's hand, as Red took a small step back, shocked at the sudden show of affection.
"I really like you a lot Red! W-Would you...be-be my..uh..boyfriend?" Lucas questioned sheepishly, as Red didn't answer at first. He looked confused, but Lucas continued.
"I promise to be the best boyfriend ever! I'll walk with you through the park, hold your hand whenever you want, help raise and love your pokemon, and you don't have to say a word to me!" Lucas chirped, he was confident, but Red looked nervous. In a very timid shoulder raise to say, 'I guess I can give this a try', Lucas pounced on him exclaiming, "Thank you! I promise to be the best for you! Does that mean...we can move in together? Do you think we should?" Red waved his hand frantically, signalling to Lucas to 'slow down!'. Lucas nodded, and said, "you're right, I'll wait till this month is over." He got off of Red, and practically skipped out of the gardens, as Red adjusted his hat, brushing off the dirt off his attire, and noticed Ness immediately.
"Ness." He said, but he didn't respond. Red walked over, and looked behind the tree and noticed that Ness dug his face in his knees and was shivering.
"Ness?" He said again, but he wasn't prepared to witness Ness' crying. Red offered to give him a hug, and Ness embraced him tightly. "Did..Someone...hurt you?" Red asked slowly, placing a hand on Ness' back, trying to soothe him.
"Yes." Ness answered through all his hiccups and cries, but Red whispered, "Don't worry,...It will all be over soon. The pain will go away.." At that moment, Ness knew that Red was now aware of his attraction to Lucas, but as he felt such a staggering pain of remembering the feeling of not having your feelings returned again, he couldn't help but feel something rather strange, as though Red had done this before. As though, Red was experienced with comforting someone..."It's all going to go away..." Ness hoped it did one day.
Around 2 Years Later
Though it was downplayed now, the little trauma of unrequited attraction had slowly lost it's effect on Ness, as Red cooed to him that day, and he is really thankful for that. Yea, he wouldn't try to hide from himself, he still had a strong attraction toward Lucas, but he learned to keep it inside, and not react every time Lucas kisses Red in public.
Toon Link was, just as always, a really strong supporter for Ness, and helped him through some tough moments. It was a friendship Ness treasures highly, and begins to prefer to spend his days alongside Toon Link instead of trying to find a day to spend with Lucas. Strange thing is, everyone is making Red out as though, he began the relationship, and as though he is easily jealous. As though HE talks alot, and in general out of character for Lucas. Ness doesn't know everything sure, but he does know how all this began, and it was Lucas who really began their story of love, not Red. Red would never be the type too, but Ness tried to scratch the ideas away. There was no time thinking of other people's romantic affairs, when he had his own problems. For example, just when will he actually ever move one from Lucas?
