Lucas perked up, with wide eyes. "Wha-What?"
Claus clenched his fists. I can't back down now, I'm already close to done with reading the note.
"When we went behind the tree, I confessed to him, though he declined and told me he loved someone else."
"Who else?" Lucas asked.
"Err.." Claus looked down at the note..
RULES;
If you tell him anything about my love, you will be punished~
Your not allowed to explain that you were forced to read this~
Play along after reading~
Have fun!~ Teehee! 3
Claus gritted his teeth. "He didn't tell me.."
Lucases surprised expression faded. "Oh.."
Lucas then noticed the note, and peeked at it. "Hey, did someone force you to read this? Onii-chan.. That's not your hand writing..." Lucas innocently pointed out. Claus quickly crumbled up the note, and threw it out into the field.
Dammit...
"No, I was just planning out what to say." Claus lied.
"I see.." Lucas said, his head hung low.
Was he expecting something else? Claus wondered. He doesn't seem too surprised either... Did he know I already liked Ness? Wait. WAIT! I don't even like Ness in the first place!
Silence filled the air for a few minutes, until Lucas looked up from the ground. They had been walking for almost a half an hour, so they should be close to home now.
"Claus! Look! Our house!" Lucas exclaimed, waking up Claus lost in thought.
"Oh, were ho-" Claus stopped mid sentence, with his mouth wide open. "Our HOUSE!" He yelled in horror.
The house was burnt, most of it crumbled to the ground. The rest was on the verge of falling, and the fire was growing bigger, consuming anything inside the house.
"L-Lucas we have to run!"
Lucas stood still, staring at the fire in shock.
"Lucas!" Claus yelled grabbing Lucases hand. "Lets get out of here! The smoke is bad for you!" Claus coughed.
Lucas didn't move an inch, his body frozen, and his breathes getting faster and shorter. Claus grinded his teeth in fear. "IDIOT! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Claus shouted, slapping the blonde directly on the cheek. Lucas blinked, and felt his cheek with his soft fingers, then looked back at his brother. "Claus... I stopped the fire.. Lets... Go to sleep now." Lucas fainted, and tumbled into the dirt.
The brown haired twin snapped his vision back to the house. The flames disappeared, with only smoke left.
He must have stopped the fire with his PSI powers. Claus thought, picking up Lucas bridal style.
One things for sure, they had to get out of the smoke and quick, but they had no where to go.
Claus ran as fast as his legs could go, back the way they came following the path. Minute went by minute by minute and the smoke slowly faded. The smell went away, so Claus stopped and took several deep breaths in the middle of no where, but still on the path. Still panting like a dog, he placed his little brother on the soft grass, wiping away pieces of ashes on his soft pink cheeks.
"I'm sorry I slapped you... I didn't know any better.." Claus mumbled. Lucas was still knocked out from the smoke, but still breathing.
Still sleeping...
Claus stared at his brothers face, poking his cheek.
Completely asleep...
A small smile found its way on Clauses face. He crawled on top of the sleeping psychic, his face so close he could feel his brothers breath.
Just one kiss shouldn't hurt, he wont even know, right?
Claus traced his thumb across Lucases lips, so soft and never touched before...
"Nnn.." Lucas moaned.
Oh shit!
Claus jumped up and off of Lucas, then stepped back a few feet.
"U-um.. Claus... Our house..?" Lucas coughed the last of the smoke out of his lungs, before opening his eyes.
"Its no use.. We can't go back. Burnt to a crisp." He replied, dusting off his arms.
"Then... We have no place to sleep?"
"No, we can go to one of my friends houses and we will be fine-"
"But I don't know any of your friends!" Lucas cried, scared. He never met any of Clauses friends before, and was afraid of new people. The only was he became friends with Ness was cause Ness was the one to reach out to Lucas.
"Then where do you plan for us to stay?"
"Nesses house.. I know where it is and everything..." Lucas muttered under his breath.
"Haven't you had enough of him for one day?"
"No.. Hes kind... I'm sure he would let us stay with him..." Lucas trailed off.
Claus let out a deep sigh. "Fine. Show me the way.."
Lucases face brightened up, as he gave a cheerful smile. "Okay!" The blonde struggled to stand up. "O-ouch.." He gasped, grabbing his knee, and falling right back down.
"Can you stand?" Claus questioned.
"I hurt my knee when I fell... Brother.. Can you carry me just a little further please?" Lucas asked desperately.
"Well, duh." Claus smiled, picking Lucas up bridal style for the last time.
"Just follow the path and take the first right."
"Mkay." Claus replied dully.
After about an hour, Claus took the first turn to the right and entered an open gate to a large mansion. The gate was white with small statues of angels blowing horns on top. The mansion was also white but built with bricks, and was surrounded with red and white roses.
"U-uh... Are you sure this is his house? I thought he had no parents like us..." Claus said, amazed.
"Yes. Its pretty, isnt it?" Lucas remarked. "I thought you might like it."
Claus proceeded to the door, with carvings of gargoyles dancing on it, spurting water.
"Other people live here, with powers like us. Not PSI, though."
"That's kinda what I thought.." Claus said smugly, knocking on the door with his foot since his hands were full.
The door immediately opened with Ness standing in his blue striped pajamas, and his hat still on.
"Lucas! Are you okay!" Ness said, dashing over to Claus who has Lucas in his arms. "What happened to you guys?"
"Well-" Lucas began but got cut off. "Our house burned down, and we were wondering if we could stay at your house for the night." Claus interrupted.
Ness paused a minute, then smiled kindly. "If its for Lucas, than I can't decline." Ness opened the door wider. "Come on in."~
Claus rolled his eyes and walked in. The light was so bright he had to squint for a few seconds. The whole house was so clean it was almost sparkling. The walls were a pitch white, and a few polished wooden tables on the sides. Golden lamps were set up on the tables neatly.
"Man, your both filthy... Why dont you guys wash up before bed. I will show you your room, which has a large tub you can bath in." Ness pointed out, walking ahead. "Lucas, I will tend to your knee when we get to the room." ~
Lucas nodded with a cute smile.
