Song Eight- Mischievous Function- Kasane Teto (can't find writer), covered by Jubyphonic-P
It was incredibly difficult for Dark Pit to finally admit he was in love with Lucina, but the way a glance from her sent his stomach into knots made it hard to think about anything else. But after he finally spit it out, it didn't make it any easier to look at her. It still sent his stomach into loops, but he didn't mind it as much now. Palutena had told him to just enjoy love and let it take him where it wanted, and as much as he hated to admit it, that was probably the best idea.
So he didn't let himself fret over if Lucina would ever tell him that she loved him, he just accepted the fact that she didn't want to rush it. He wouldn't ever buy into sappy things like that, but it sort of felt like they were tied up by that stupid "red string of fate" that people talked about. Being with her felt right, like it was something that was supposed to happen. Darn it, why did she make him get all sappy? That was the bad part: he couldn't keep a scowl on around her at times. The fact that he could make her happy, he couldn't pretend as if it didn't make him happy as well.
That would have been fine if people didn't start noticing. Pit teased him about it, which he replied with a punch in the face. Shulk, Toon Link, they both insisted that they were happy that they were happy, but it was annoying whenever he caught one of them looking at him oddly. He knew whenever that happened he'd been caught smiling. God, it was impossible to keep up his air of hostility around her.
He didn't really mind, though. It was nice to actually be understood for once, to be cared about. He knew she felt the same, judging by the fact he'd accidentally found one of her letters to home gushing over how happy she was. He tried not to think about it too much, or he'd be sure to be met with an odd look. It was annoying, really, trying to keep a straight face around her, but he couldn't decide whether or not he cared.
Even in his dreams, she was there, making him smile. They got to be bad enough that he hated waking up sometimes, considering no one could see his joy if it was in his head. Well, at least until Pit let him know he'd been talking in his sleep. By then, he'd just decided that he'd try not to care who saw him smile. Lucina had said she liked it when he smiled, and as much as he hated to admit it, that made him want to do it more. Happiness was new to him, but he was growing to like it. Did that make him anything like Pit? Not really. It was something he wasn't used to, but it wasn't really a bad thing.
AN- I'm sorry, this is so fluffy and pointless, and he's probably OOC, but unfortunately, I actually have a few cheerful songs on my playlist. This is one of the few, and it happens to be a love-ish song, so you get fluff. Congratulations, they aren't miserable. Thanks for reading! –Twilight Joltik
