A/N: Sorry for the long update guys! Been super busy with my classes especially Journalism XP
Well here's my new chapter, Jealousy. Sorry if it sucks X/
Ludwig POV
"Give me call ok?" I told Rick before I walked to my first class. I wondered if he would call or something.
"So that's why you didn't walk to school with today huh?" a voice suddenly said behind from behind. I jumped, startled by my friend's sudden appearance.
"Gah! I told you not to sneak up on me like that Luke!" I shouted to the dark skinned koopa. His ran his claws through his dark brown hair, smirking at my surprised reaction then laughed. He's been my best friend since the start of high school and we were just friends, nothing more.
"Hehe, calm your tits bro, I'm just teasing. So, what's his name?" he started asked.
"Rick." I replied casually, trying my best to make it seem like no big deal.
"C'mon Lud, don't try to make like that." Luke scolded, seeing through my façade as we stopped at our lockers.
"Ok, ok. I admit, he is pretty cute." I said, my face slightly flustered.
"Ha! I knew it!" He said confidently. "I'm guessing you two met before your stroll this morning…" I knew he would start questioning me.
"I only met him yesterday ok? Lemmy was showing him around the castle and when they walked into the room, I saw some strange dark purple color out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and saw a handsome koopa with a sexy dark purple thing going on ok?" I blushed hard, my face surely red.
Luke giggled at my embarrassed face. "Go on." He said after we closer our lockers and continued to our class.
"Well I ran up to him, quite quickly I guess, and-"I was cut off again.
"Scared him?" My friend laughed.
"Well I guess a little…he was slightly startled…" I looked down, feeling horrible for making a crappy first impression on Rick.
"Hey, I'm sorry. Don't feel bad, I'm sure he didn't think much of it."
"Well I took him form Lemmy and led him through the castle to find Roy; I guess he was there to tutor him…"
"Whoa wait. Roy asked for a tutor? Like asked or beat him to do it?" Luke asked, a puzzled look appeared on his face.
"I know, I asked Rick if Roy bullied him into doing it but he told me he didn't." I shrugged. We walked into class and took our seats as our teacher lectured on molecular structures. Luke fell asleep as usual, his head in his notebook, pretending to take notes. I sat and stared at the board, day dreaming about Rick…
Day Dream
I sat in my room, playing music on my piano. I heard a knock on my door and ceased my playing.
"Who is it?" I asked hoping it wasn't any of my siblings.
"It's me…"the voice said. I could tell it wasn't my brother or sister's voice so I opened the door. I was met by a pair of sparking purple eyes. Rick scratched the back of his head and moved his hand through his dark purple Mohawk. He looked at my with an innocent smile on his face. My stomach filled with butterflies and my body started to shake.
"Rick…"I sighed almost speechless.
"May I come in?" he asked
"S-sure, of course! I always tell you that you're welcome here."
He walked in and we both sat on my king sized bed.
"Ludwig, I want to tell you something…" Rick started. My hands were shaking and I was filled with nervousness. "I like you Ludwig…a lot…" Rick confessed to me.
My head leaned in and pushed my mouth against his, embracing him in a deep kiss. I pushed my tongue against his, easily winning my dominance over him.
"Ludwig…" he moaned.
Reality
"Ludwig!" Luke said loudly as he shook me awake.
"Wha…?" I said confused.
"C'mon, class is over, time to go." He told me. I stood up and gathered my things. I continued to try and bear through my other classes but the thought of Rick kept distracting me. I had to make a decision.
"Ok Ludwig, you becoming a little obsessed with this. Why don't you just find Rick during lunch and ask him to hang out this afternoon, then ask him out" I planned in my head. I knew that Rick couldn't possibly say no to my offer. I walked out of class and grabbed some lunch. Me and Luke sat together. We would usually sit with others but today we had a private conversation.
"So Luddi, what's your plan?" Luke asked.
"Plan? Who says I have a plan?" I tried to lie to him.
"Ludwig, c'mon, I can tell you like him quite a bit. You obviously have a plan, I can tell by the look on your face." He laughed.
I blushed, proving that I was indeed lying to him. "Ok ok, I'm just gonna ask him to hang out with me this afternoon alright?" I gave Luke a broad overview of my stupid idea.
"Well go then, why are you sitting here waiting with a stupid look on your face? Find him and ask." He encouraged and left the table. I stood up and searched the school for Rick. Every passing moment just put on stress on me.
"What if he says no?" I thought to myself. I then saw from afar, two figures walk into a bathroom. They seemed to be hurt. I could distinguish one of them from my distance.
"Purple shell…Mohawk….yup, that's Rick!" My heart jumped happily. I then saw the other figure. "Big and muscular…pink…great. What does Roy want with him now?" I thought to myself. I quickly walked towards the bathroom they headed into. Seeing drops of blood on the ground that lead into the bathroom, I almost barged in. But instead, I listened to them talk, eavesdropping. "Roy, if you lay a hand on him, I swear…" I muttered.
"Thanks Roy. If you hadn't shown up…" I could hear Rick say. I loved the sound of his voice. So innocent…so willing, it sent shivers down my spine. Roy spoke out as well, but I didn't really care about him. As long Rick didn't scream or cry, I would wait. I did notice something strange though. The tone in Roy's voice had changed. It wasn't a thought, intimidating voice I had grown to recognize as him. It was genuine, sincere, and actually showed some vulnerability.
"Rick…I love you…" Roy spoke. I couldn't believe it! Roy was gay! How could this be! He never sho0wed any signs of attraction towards males! He's had several girlfriends in the past, which I heard he knocked up! As if this weren't enough to take, there was something that almost brought me to tears.
"Roy…I love you too…" Rick said.
"WHAT! IMPOSSIBLE!" My head screamed. I ran away as fast as I could. I passed Luke, not responding to whatever his question was. I sat in my last class, trying to collect my thoughts and feelings. The bell rang and broke the confusion in my head.
We had to compose a short piece in piano, so I decided to let my feelings fuel me. I sat down, put my claws and the keys and started to play. It started happy, the way I felt when I saw Rick. That feeling of floating on cloud 9. I continued to play that jovial tune, but it soon turned morbid and depressing. The way I felt when I heard Rick and Roy confess their love for one another. The pain of a dagger plunged straight through my heart was incorporated into my music. My mind raced and started to fill with hatred and jealousy. My music turned loud and violent and so did my attitude. How could Roy, my brother, take Rick? He was supposed to be MINE! I ended my song and returned to reality.
"Whoa…" The class sat speechless. I had forgotten they were here too. I stared at them with a goofy, embarrassed look on my face. They clapped and cheered. The final bell rang and the day was over. I walked out the main entrance of the school when someone called my name.
"Hey, Ludwig! What's wrong?" Rick called to me.
The anger swelled up in me. I gave him a mean look and stomped angrily back home. Tears ran down my face as I realized that I shouldn't have been cold to him. It was the anger towards Roy that spoke and controlled my actions. Luke ran up to me, panting.
"Hey *huff* bro. *huff* *huff* so how'd it go?" he asked, trying to catch his breath. I sighed and looked away.
"I didn't get to ask…"
"What? Dude, you can't just pussy out like that. You should take the risk and not cower in your shell." Luke tried to give me a pep talk, yet it only fueled my anger more. I didn't let it get the best of me again.
"I wasn't scared alright? It's just…something came up…"
"What then? Tell me."
I wanted to tell him. Although, no matter how angry at Roy I was, I didn't want to ruin his reputation or anything.
"I can't tell you…" I lied to him.
"Fine. Lie to me. I'll just see you later." He huffed and walked away.
"What a crappy day…" I sighed to myself. I entered the castle and walked straight into my room. I checked my phone as it rang.
Ricky 3: Hey Ludwig, its rick. Did I do something to anger you?
"There's just too much on my mind." I said to myself. I closed my phone, not replying to him. I lay on my bed and shoved my face into my pillow, screaming. I let my emotions out one by one. Screaming in pain, punching with fury. I cried myself to sleep.
A/N: Yeah like I said earlier…it sucks XP
Ah well, peace review, send me messages, suggestions, anything please. Thanks for bearing with me for so long XD
