When the end of the week came, Ness was pumped for our biggest baseball game of the season. He almost kept me up all night before the game with talking. I met him out in front of my house when it was time to go. He was bouncing on the sidewalk when I came out.

"God you're so slow!" he shouted, his breath coming out in a mist. He had that sexy uniform of his on with a black sweater under his shirt and his bat with the glove hanging off the end of it.

I walked over to him, wearing a red and yellow stripped sweater under a thick black jacket. I had on some jeans and my red and yellow converses. Can you tell what my favorite colors are yet? "I was in there for ten minutes!" I said to him when I got to him.

"Ten minutes too long! Gosh!" I rolled my eyes playfully. We started towards the school early so Ness could practice and I could get a good seat. I sat in the front and watched him stretch. He looked so cute doing it. I know they may sound weird, but I guess that everything he does is cute to me.

Soon, people started to arrive and the game started. Ness was the star of the game of course. I almost lost my voice because I was cheering so loud and so much. When he'd make a homerun, we would all jump up to cheer for him. Paula was there too of course and with her cheerleaders. I tried not to watch her and forget that she was there as the game went on.

The two teams were tied and Ness was up. We all held our breath then he missed the first ball, then the second. I almost thought he wasn't gonna hit it! But I should have known better, because on the third throw, it knocked it out of the park, literally. I jumped up and cheered loudly, throwing my hands in the air, "Ah Ness!" I shouted, "Woo!" Ness ran all the bases and slid to a stop once he got to home. He threw his hands in the air and shouted loudly. I bet he was feeling great right now. All the team members from our school rushed out and picked him up. They threw him up and down, chanting his name. Ness's eyes were shining as he smiled wide. I held my hands together and to my chest as I watched him. I loved to see him like this. He was so adorable when he was happy and smiling.

After a while, the other team members put him down. I rushed out onto the field, unable to wait until Ness got off field. He saw me coming and grinned wide. I was only going to congratulate him, but he was so happy, that he wrapped his arms around me and spun around really fast. I shouted in surprise, wrapping my arms around his neck to hold on, but I couldn't help but laugh. I ducked my head down, burying it into his soft black hair since he lost his hat somewhere when everyone was tossing him up and down. He wasn't all that sweaty since it was cold out, so I nuzzled his hair some, blushing happily. After a few spins, he put me back down and put his hands on my shoulders.

"Did you see that hit?" he shouted, eyes wide and bright, "They can't even find the ball!"

I smiled wide up at him, holding my hands together and to my chest, "That was amazing Ness! I knew you could do it!"

Ness laughed, such a beautiful sound it was, "Hell yeah baby! Woo!" he put his fist in the air, cheering and shouting loudly.

I laughed and put my fist in the air too, cheering. We started jumping up and down as we cheered. Ness gave me another tight hug, which I gladly accepted and returned. He turn pulled away, "I have to find Paula!" he said then looked around. I hated that she was brought up, but I was so high on happiness, that I didn't care. Ness looked back down at me, "Come on! Help me look!" he said then took my hand. Both our hands were cold, but they started to warm each other slowly. I followed him through the crowd, not really looking since I didn't want to see her. I pretended I was though.

I was looking off to the side when Ness suddenly stopped. I ran into him, "Oof!" I stumbled back and looked up at him, "Did you find her?" I shouted over the cheers of the other people, but I felt his grip on my hand tighten. I tilted my head in confusion, "Ness?" I tried again, but when Ness ran a hand up through his hair, pushing his bangs back, I saw a look of disbelief and hurt on his face. My eyes widened and I followed his gaze to see Paula making out with another guy. I always knew she was a whore, but to actually see it was shocking, and she knew Ness was here too!

"Paula..." I heard Ness said but he let go of my hand and walked over to her. I quickly followed. Ness yanked the other guy off Paula and shoved him away. He narrowed his eyes down at the girl, a cold and hated look was slowly covering his eyes, something I've haven't seen in a long time. "What the hell are you doing?" Ness demanded.

Paula looked up at him but shoved him away with one hand, "What, you gotta problem with it?" she asked.

Ness didn't move much when he saw shoved but he got right back in her face, "You're damn right I've got a problem with it! You're cheating on me!" he shouted.

"Tch!" Paula grinned a shit-eating grin, "You're just now figuring this out? And you call me slow,"

My mouth dropped open at that and I looked at Ness. He was gritting his teeth and balling his hands into fists. I knew that if Paula was a guy, he would be on her and beating the living out of her, but she was a girl. He didn't hit girls.

"You fucking whore!" he shouted at her, "You're nothing but a lying bitch, you know what? I hope you burn in fucking hell!" I was taken aback by his language. He never cursed that much. Fuck was a word he rarely used unless he was really, really angry.

I watched him turn around and storm away, his eyes dark and cold. I looked back at Paula, who just flipped her hair. I glared at her and shoved her, making her look at me, "You mess with him again, and you'll answer to me," I said, not hiding my anger towards her anymore. I snapped my fingers and her hair caught on fire. She started to scream and panic and I quickly made my leave.

I ran after Ness, who was almost out of the school now, "Ness!" I shouted, sounding very worried and concerned now, "Ness stop!" When I got close enough, I grabbed his wrist, making him stop. I panted slightly, "St-stop, please. Talk to me," I said.

Ness balled his hands into fists, his shoulders tensing, "Fucking whore..." he growled, "I should have known this would have happened... I should have listened to you when you said she was no good," I couldn't argue there.

I started to feel sick in the pit of my stomach. Since our powers were so closely tied, I would start to feel bad if Ness wasn't happy. I dared to wrap my arms around him from behind. His whole body tensed, which scared me, but he then relaxed. He shook his head a little then turned around and wrapped his arms around me tightly. I could feel his anger subside and his sorrow start to roll in. I put my hands on his shoulder blades, holding him tightly. I didn't blush during this, knowing now was not the time to be giddy and wiggly. I needed to be strong for Ness.

Ness turned his face and buried it into the side of my neck. I tilted my head back a bit to rest my chin on his shoulder, since he was taller than I was. I closed my eyes, feeling his shoulders twitch as he tried not to cry.

"Hey," I said softly, "Think of it like this... Now you don't have to go to her stupid rich parties, or deal with her crap about how you shouldn't wear your hat the way you do," Ness snorted in amusement, which made me smile slightly, "And..." I lowered my voice, "Now you won't have to worry about her flipping her hair in your face,"

"Why's that?" he asked, his voice a little weak.

I hesitated a moment before speaking quietly, "Because I just burned it off..."

Ness pulled away quickly and looked down at me with wide eyes. I discovered they were a little red from holding back his tears, "No you didn't..." he said, but I smiled and nodded. Slowly, that beautiful grin crawled back onto his face. He chuckled a little then busted out laughed. I smiled more at this, "Lucas! That's incredible! I knew you didn't like her, but holy shit! Y-you seriously burned her hair off?" I nodded again, "Oh you are the best friend a man could ever asked for!" He hugged me again but that pain in my stomach went away from his happiness. I hugged him back, probably enjoying this a little too much, but that was ok.

After a while, he pulled back, smiling again, "I cannot wait to see her tomorrow night at prom," he said, "Come on, let's go home,"

I smiled and nodded, "Ok,"
