Ness was sitting on his bed with a wireless Switch Pro Controller in his hand. He was playing some Astral Chain. He had a pleasant smile plastered on his face as he played. He missed the fact that the doorbell rang. He just continued playing. He even missed the knock at his door. All of a sudden the door slammed open. It scared Ness so much he dropped the remote on the ground. He looked at the door and saw a fuming Tracy. "I've been listening to a goddamn bell for five fucking minutes…" Tracy said.

"Trace, I'm sorry, I wasn't-" Ness tried to convince.

"Go answer the fucking door, or I'll shove that remote so far down your throat-"

"Ok, ok, I get it. I'll answer it." Tracy huffed as she turned around and slammed into her door. Ness sighed and picked the remote from the ground and tossed it haphazardly on the bed, only for it to tumble back on the ground. "Dang it." He shook his head and walked down the stairs. He opened the front door but didn't see anything. He looked around and took a step forward. When he did he felt a box underneath his barefoot. He looked down and saw a classic brown box. He tilted his head and kneeled down. He picked it up and saw the piece of paper taped to the top. It simply says "Ness". He slowly backed up and kicked the door closed. He walked up to his room and sat at the foot of his bed. He grabbed a casual pocket knife that he had on the nightstand. He cut the tape and opened the box. After shuffling through the packing material he grabbed a book. He tossed the box aside and it tipped over dropping all of the packing material. "You've got to be kidding me."

Ness shook his head and looked at the book in his hands. On the book, it said "Wish Book." Ness tilted his head and opened the cover. There was a piece of paper inside. He took it and placed the book aside. The note read, "Whatever you write, comes into the light. But with no details, it'll run off the rails." Ness rolled his eyes.

"Does Ninten think I'm an idiot?" Ness tossed the book onto the nightstand and picked up his remote. He played until he felt tired and turned the Switch off. He looked at the book and sighed a defeated sigh. He picked it up and opened it to the first page. He found a pencil in the top drawer. He hovered the sharp side against the gaps in the notebook's lines. He closed his eyes trying to think. He then shrugged something he knew wasn't happening. He usually stays up to date on everything. So he wrote down "A new boy," but then he remembered he needed to be specific. So he added, "With blonde hair, blue eyes, and who's nice." He looked at what he wrote and closed the book. He shook his head and placed it back on the nightstand. He tucked himself in bed and closed his eyes.

After waking up he did his normal morning routine. He dressed in the school's uniform. The uniform involved having a black polo shirt with a large white circle with a cross-slash in the lower-left corner. There were two choices for pants. It could be basic black Khakis or it could be basic black Khaki shorts. Those were all that was required. Ness grabbed his hat and stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom connected to his room. He put it on his head and smirked. He fixed the small tuft of hair that stuck out from his hat.

He walked out of the bathroom and opened the door. But, he couldn't seem to leave. He turned his head and looked at the book on the nightstand. He looked down and shook his head and looked out of the room. He still couldn't seem to leave. He sighed and turned around. He grabbed the book and left the room. He stopped at the closet next to the front door and grabbed his backpack. He placed the book in the bigger pocket and zipped the bag up. He stood up and turned to the door. He opened it, only to see there was a boy standing there. He fumbled with some index cards, eventually just outright dropping them. He cleared his throat and stood up straight and scratched the back of his neck.

"Hehe, um, h-hi," he said. Ness looked at the boy. Blonde hair, blue eyes. The hair was in a stylish fade, and the front part of his hair slightly drooped over his eye. The boy pushed the hair from his eye. The blue eyes seemed lost. The boy was clearly new, those eyes and the way they look adds to that. Ness looked at what the boy was wearing. The same outfit as him. The only difference is the shoes, and he is just wearing a yellow and red version. He wasn't just new, but a new student.

"Um, wait one second, will ya?" Ness asked. The boy nodded. Ness closed the door and picked up his phone. He quickly called Ninten.

"Yea?" Ninten asked.

"Did you drop anything off at my house last night?"

"What, no. You really think I have the energy for that? I was just playing Minecraft all night. Why?"

"Um, don't worry about it, see ya at school." He hung up and shook his head. "This is just a coincidence." He shook his head and opened the door. He saw the boy picking up the fallen index cards. He stood up, dropping another card. Ness kneeled down and picked it up for him. He read what it said. "Hi, my name is Lucas, I'm new to town." Ness looked up at the boy, now known as Lucas, and tilted his head. He handed him the card. "It's probably best not to talk like this."

"How come?" Lucas said with a very innocent voice. Ness smiled at the voice. Ness' voice had gotten deeper over the years. But Lucas' seemed very high pitched and innocent.

"It sorta makes you sound fake." He looked down disappointed in himself.

"Oh, Claus was right," he started. He shook his head and looked at the cards. "Do you have a trash can I can put this in?"

"Oh yea, right this way." Ness motioned for Lucas to follow him. They got to a trash can. Lucas tossed the notes in, but one didn't make it. Ness kneeled down and looked at what it said. It was a long paragraph, but in short, it was Lucas coming out. Ness looked at Lucas who was admiring the kitchen. Lucas had a small smirk on his face, but it broke away as soon as he saw Ness looking at him.

"Something wrong?" Ness showed him the card and Lucas sighed as his bicep.

"I put this in the wrong pile," he nervously chuckled. Ness smiled and shifted his weight to his left leg.

"How many piles do you have?"

"A lot, um, sorry if this makes you feel weird." Ness finally found out why Lucas was so soft-spoken. It was just his natural nature, but because of his insecurity. Ness shook his head and put his arm around Lucas' neck in a friendly way.

"Nah, don't worry about that, we're cool. I'm assuming you don't know where the school is," Ness said with a smile. Lucas tried to hide his smirk, but Ness saw it which warmed his heart. Lucas placed the note in his short pocket and nodded his head. Ness then patted Lucas' shoulder. "Just follow my lead, then you'll be as cool as a baby panda in some sweet ass shades." This caused Lucas to laugh, and Ness found it adorable the way he did laugh. It was a laugh that challenged the adorableness with a kitten and puppy playing tag. Lucas followed Ness out of the house and down the street to a stop sign. Ness took this chance to get to know Lucas better. He found out Claus was his brother, his twin brother. Claus was actually already at the bus stop. Ness saw Ninten walk over, but instead of talking to him he stopped next to Claus.

"You're new, aren't you?" Ninten asked. Claus nodded his head. He had earbuds in his ears. But when Claus looked into Ninten's eyes he decided to take them out. He extended his arm and gave a weak smile.

"Claus," he said. Ninten smiled and took it saying his name. Lucas tilted his head.

"Huh, I can never get him to take his buds out," Lucas said to himself. Ness just shrugged. He led the others onto the bus. Ness walked back to the second to the last row of seats. Ness and Lucas took the left while Ninten and Claus took the right. Ness watched as the bus moved on and pass his house.

"Hey, Lucas?" Ness asked.

"Hmm?"

"Do you believe in the mystical?"

"Weird question, b-but sure."

"What if a book said that anything you write in it, comes true."

"That sounds stupid," Lucas raised an eyebrow.

"Rights, that's what I think. But, let's just say hypothetically if you write one thing down and it does come true, what would you do?"

"D-do you have a magical book Ness?" Lucas asked with a sense of skepticism.

"What?! No, no, why'd you ask that?"

"Usually 'hypotheticals' actually happened."

"Ok fair enough, but I promise I don't have a magical book," Ness said this as he messed with the tuft of hair coming from his hat. Lucas seemed a little suspicious, but shrugged and allowed Ness to go on. "So, what would you do?"

"Well, if one came true then I'd assume it's a coincidence. Ma-maybe if a second or third came true that's when I'd believe it." Ness nodded his head. Lucas gave a small chuckle. "Kinda reminds me of Death Note."

"Death Note?"

"Yup, a notebook that if someone wrote a name in it, that person would die."

"Oh," Ness said surprised. He suddenly got worried. Lucas noticed this worry.

"But if it says anything you want, then you'd have to specify death." Ness took a breath of relief and looked at Lucas' proud face.

"You know a lot about this."

"Yea, I have no life so I just watch anime all the time. Lots of mystical knowledge can be learned from them."

"Is that just an excuse to not leave your bed?" Lucas giggled for a little bit.

"P-potentially." Ness started to laugh. Ness playfully patted his shoulder. Eventually, the bus arrived at the school. Ness chose to show both Lucas and Claus their way around the school. Claus went back into his music listening form. Nothing Ness said really stuck in. They got to the cafeteria and Ness noticed Claus wasn't even with them anymore. He sighed and looked at Lucas.

"Does he always do this?"

"Yea, which surprises me that that kid was able to get him to actually focus on something."

"Well, Ninten doesn't really give many people a choice." Lucas just shrugged. Ness led Lucas through the cafeteria, showing the counter that was covered with glass. Behind the glass there was food. You could also see into the kitchen. Peach was behind there. She looked at the boys and smiled. She grabbed two quick cookies and handed it to them. Lucas smiled as he bit into it.

"Thanks, ma'am," Ness said. Peach responded with a wink and Ness and Lucas walked away. They sat on a nearby lunch table. There were other students sitting at other lunch tables, but they didn't really care. Ness had taken over the conversation between the two of them. They were so focused on each other they didn't realize Ninten and Claus walked to the table. They sat down and Claus saw the very slight blush on Lucas' face. Claus chuckles, which kicked Ness and Lucas from their conversation.

"H-how long have you two been there?" Lucas asked.

"We just got here," Ninten said. Ness leaned into Lucas' ear.

"Claus doesn't have his headphones in," Ness whispered just loud enough for Claus to hear. Lucas laughed.

"Ha, ha, ha, you guys suck," Claus looks away. He then grew a tiny smirk when Ninten started to laugh.

"You guys getting to know the place?" Ness asked.

"Seems like Claus has, I found him-" Ninten started.

"Shut up," Claus covered his mouth. Lucas tilted his head and raised an eyebrow.

"Now you've got me wondering, you're very mysterious," Lucas said.

"Hehe, you know me," Claus said as he turned to face Ninten, still with his hand over his mouth. "I swear to god Ninten." He took his hand from his mouth and saw the cookie that Ness still hadn't eaten. Claus' eyes widened. "WHERE'D YOU GET COOKIES?"

"You like cookies?" Ninten asked.

"I love cookies," Claus said without a single breath. Ninten chuckled and stood up.

"Follow me." They walked to where the counter was. Lucas looked at the uneaten cookie next to Ness. Ness nervously chuckled and hid the cookie.

"You don't want cookies?" Lucas said. He seemed almost guilty. Ness shook his head. Before answering he saw Claus and Ninten walking back to the table. Claus had his hands in each other with a pile of cookies building from those arms. The pile nearly towered over him. He dropped all of them on the table, with a few falling onto the ground. Lucas sighed and shook his head. "Fatass." Ness stood up and looked at Lucas.

"Can we go?" Ness asked. Lucas looked at Ninten and Claus, who simply nodded. Lucas stood up and Ness grabbed his arm and they walked out of the cafeteria. They soon got to the library. Ness tossed the cookie into the trash and sat at one of the circular tables.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I-um-no, don't worry. I just like the quiet in the library."

"It's the cookies, huh? I don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." Ness shook his head as he looked down. "I'm sorry." Ness looked up and saw the guilt on his face.

"It's not you, I'm just a recovering cookie addict."

"..." Lucas just stared at Ness. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. He pushed himself up. "I'm going to use the bathroom." He walked away, seemingly trying to whip away the guilt he had. Ness looked at his bag and thought of something. He brought out the book and a pencil. He tilted his head and thought of what to write. He thought about Lucas, which brought a smile to his face. "I want Lucas to not always feel guilty or at fault," Ness wrote. He closed the book and placed it in his bag. He waited a few moments and Lucas walked back.

"You doing alright?"

"Yea, I...you just don't have to worry about cookies around me. I'm actually healthy, unlike Claus," Lucas happily said pointing to himself. Ness chuckled at his grin.

"Hey so, there are still some places left to show. Should we continue?" Lucas nodded and stood up. Ness wanted to test the book. He purposely stayed back. Lucas got to the door and looked back.

"Will you hurry up? We don't have all day." Ness smirked and grabbed his bag walking toward him. They walked through the remaining school. They got to their first class. They were lucky enough to share it, along with sharing lunch. The teacher, Richter, was overlooking notes. Ness and Lucas sat in the back, looking out of the window. "Thank you, Ness."

"For what?" Ness asked as he looked at him. Lucas leaned further back on the chair and put his hands behind his neck.

"For helping me."

"It's nothing to be thanked." Lucas gave a small chuckle and fixed his posture. He opened his mouth to say something, but then seemed to decide against it. The bell rang and the other students started to rush in. The class went on. Ness was happy that the book seems to be true. He spent the hour thinking of what to write down next. He shook his head when the bell rang and saw Lucas laugh. "What's so funny," Ness smiled. Lucas grabbed a loose piece of paper from his folder and handed it to Ness.

"You clearly weren't paying attention, so I took your notes." Ness smiled.

"Now this is something to be thanked." They walked toward the door and out into the hall. That's when Ness looked at the notes. He saw a number. Ness looked at Lucas, who was overlooking his schedule and remembering his tour. "Is this?"

"My number, yes." He looked up from his schedule and had a small blush. "You know, just in case you get captured you can call me to come help." Ness chuckled and folded the paper into his pocket.

"Well, now I want to get captured." Ness patted Lucas' back and walked opposite of him. A few moments later he looked back and saw Lucas following him. Ness stopped and just looked at him.

"My class is this way," he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh, well, this is awkward." Lucas just nodded. He walked forward and looked at him.

"Um, could you be my escort, I need my big strong bodyguard."

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were flirting with me," Ness crossed his arms. Lucas just nervously chuckled, and this chuckle abruptly ended. Lucas winked and walked forward. Ness tilted his head before deciding to escort him. They soon got to his class. Before entering, Lucas looked back at Ness.

"There's something wrong with you."

"Ow, that hurts," Ness said, placing his hand over his chest as if Lucas offended him. Lucas shook his head.

"It's 'cause your face is redder than your own hat."

"W-what." Ness started to feel around his face which caused Lucas to laugh. Ness lowered his hands and just smiled. "See you at lunch?" Lucas nodded as he calmed his laughter and they parted ways.

The next few classes rolled by. Lucas stood from his chair and placed a few color-coordinated notebooks into his bag. He looked at the other notebook, the one he didn't bring out. He smiled. He zipped his bag and put the bag around his back. He sharply turned, nearly hitting a girl. Lucas' had a few classes with her. Paula. Paula looked at him angrily. "Lucas, was it?" she asked.

"Yup." Paula nodded her head and looked around the nearly empty room. She leaned forward, causing Lucas to lean back. She put up her index finger.

"Stay away from my Ness." Paula then smiled. "And if you do, we're good." She then skipped out of the class. Lucas just tilted his head.

"Man, Ness is a player," Lucas chuckles to himself. He started to walk out of the room, seeing where Paula skipped towards. "I might actually need its help." Lucas proceeded to turn around and walk toward the lunchroom. When he did he paid for lunch. He grabbed his tray of food from Peach and walked toward the table that Claus and Ninten were sitting at. Claus still had his headphones off. Not only that, he seemed somewhat happy. Lucas picked at his food for a bit, thinking.

"Lucas?" Claus questioned. Lucas looked up.

"Yea?"

"You never pick at your food like that."

"Aww, you noticed."

"No, seriously, what's the matter?" Lucas shook his head and looked to his left. At the entrance of the lunchroom were Paula and Ness. Paula was almost clinging to him. Lucas could tell Ness was uncomfortable. Ness looked up from the floor and saw Lucas. He happily waved, to Paula's displeasure, and Lucas smiled. He waved enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, Ness isn't taken," Ninten said. Lucas shot his head toward him.

"That's not-" Lucas tried to defend.

"Just shut up, it's obvious to anyone who isn't blind," Claus chimed in.

"I'm sure they've even said some things so that blind people could tell." Claus looked at him and nodded.

"Facts." Lucas just sighed and looked down.

"I need my bodyguard," Lucas said underneath his breath.

"You called," Ness suddenly said from behind Lucas. This caused Lucas to jump as he turned around.

"How'd you know?"

"Oh, I didn't, I'm just a casual narcissist, that's all," Ness chuckled as he sat down. When he did Lucas looked around at the other tables, and on one he saw Paula glaring at him. He then decided that he does need the help of it. But who else would need to be involved? Lucas turned his attention to his table. Out of the four of them, he was the more introverted converser.

"Hey, Luke?" Ness asked. Lucas was going to respond, but Ninten cut him off before he could.

"Aww, you got a nickname for him," he chuckled. Claus looked at him with his normal judging scowl.

"Nin, the more you say it, the less it's funny," Claus said. Lucas had to think about what he said a few times. He primarily thought about the 'Nin' part.

"Aww, you got a nickname for him," Lucas mocked Ninten. Claus just looked at Lucas. He had a small blush, but Lucas couldn't tell if it was from calling Ninten by his nickname, or by being exposed for having one for him. Ness laughed as he shook his head.

"Luke?"

"Yea?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to stay by my place tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

"Yea, it would be today, but I have something planned."

"Uh, sure, I'd love too." Claus chuckled and Lucas glared at him. Claus cleared his throat as he stood up.

"Screw you guys, I'm going home," Claus said.

"Wait, you can't just leave school," Ness said.

"Watch us," Ninten said as he stood up. He looked at Claus with an innocent smile. Claus was then seen to allow a small crack to appear on his mouth. Ness looked at Lucas, who just nodded in agreeance. They then watched Ness and Lucas stand up from their table and casually leave the building using the doorway at the back of the lunchroom. No one even attempted to stop them.

"Huh, they actually did it." Lucas just shook his head. Ness looked at him. "Claus is kind of a dick, isn't he."

"Yea, maybe that's why Ninten likes him," Lucas chuckled. Ness laughed. They continued to eat lunch and left for their next classes. At the end of the day, they met each other at the front of the school. They were talking about random things. That's when it was time for them to part and go home. Lucas started to walk away.

"Wait, Luke?" Ness called out. Lucas turned around.

"Yea?"

"I'll escort you home, gotta make sure you stay safe," Ness winked.

"How knightly, fine, I'll be your rapunzel," Lucas giggled. Ness smiled and walked to his side. They then started walking.

"So, Luke, how was your first day?"

"Better than I thought, thanks to you."

"I try," Ness laughed.

"And not gonna lie…" Lucas started. He then leaned into Ness' ear as they continued to walk. "A lot of eye candy in the gym locker room."

"Oh, well, if eye rape is a crime, how long would you be in jail."

"Uhh, probably five life sentences."

"Damn, have you done that to me?" Lucas stepped back a bit and nervously chuckled.

"I plead the fifth," Lucas chuckled. Ness looked down and smiled to himself. He playfully nudged Lucas. They walked a little more down the calm streets and made it to a small, quaint home. It was rather small, but it also seemed very peaceful. Lucas walked to the door and turned around. "Thank you for the escort, protecting me from those nasty monsters, perhaps I can repay you later," Lucas winked.

"Ah yes, other humans, absolute monsters. Oh, and about the repayment, anything is fine, as long as it's with you." Lucas smiled, and he grew a small blush. He walked down toward him and pulled him into a hug. Ness was caught off guard, but before he could hug back, Lucas pulled away. His hands were still placed on Ness' shoulder. "Luke? What was that for?" Lucas shook his head.

"Just...Just a thank you."

"For what? What'd I do that warranted a hug?"

"For helping me."

"Showing you around the school isn't that big a deal."

"That's not what I-you know what, fine. Either way, just thanks." Lucas subconsciously massaged Ness' shoulders. When he realized he was doing it he let go and blushed.

"You know Luke, I kinda like seeing you all red, it's cute." Lucas gave a small chuckle and his blush grew. Ness put his hand on his Lucas cheek and massaged it with his thumb. "Something's on your mind, I can tell." Lucas just shook his head and placed his hand on Ness's. He then grabbed it and lowered them. Lucas looked into Ness' eyes.

"Just kiss already, my popcorn is getting stale," Ninten said from behind them. Lucas shot his body around to look at him, and Claus who stood next to him. He just started nervously laughing and ran into the house, pushing past them. Ness looked down at his hand and cracked a smile. Claus walked forward which made Ness look up at him. He crossed his arms and glared into his eyes.

"Claus, what's the matter?"

"I haven't seen Lucas happy like that for a long while," Claus said with a rather monotone voice.

"He didn't seem all that happy."

"Twin powers," Claus said as he tapped his forehead. He looked back at the house and up to Lucas' room. He tilted his head slightly. He then looked back at Ness. "I really appreciate you for making him happy, I'm failing as a twin, so I'm glad you're here." Claus turned back toward the house and started to walk there.

"Oh, so you're not always a dick," Ninten smirked. Claus sighed as he opened his door.

"Go suck a dick." Ninten chuckled.

"So I can suck you," Ninten winked. Claus glared at him. "Right, I'll just go home." Ninten started to walk away. He got next to Ness. Claus turned his head.

"You don't have to do that, we can hang out for a little longer." Ninten smiled and looked at Ness.

"Go get him," Ness mouthed with zero sound, and a quick wink. Ninten nodded his head and ran back to Claus, who held the door for him. Claus looked at Ness as if to ask if he wanted to come in. "Really?"

"Sure, Lucas is too much of a pussy to ask."

"SHUT YOUR FAT TRAP CLAUS," Lucas yelled from his room.

"Huh, haven't heard that side of him." Claus shook his head and motioned for Ness to come in. Ness smiled and ran in. He was greeted with a small dog and Lucas' two parents. They introduced themselves as Hinawa and Flint. After some calming down, Lucas came down. They then brought out the switch and started playing some games on it. The four of them had loads of fun for hours.

While playing smash, Ness cheered Lucas on as he was beating Ninten. Ness then looked at Lucas. His focused face had him with his tongue slightly out, and a very determined look in his eyes. Ness blushed and smiled. Lucas saw this in his peripheral. Lucas looked at him when the match was over. "Ness, something wrong?"

"Uh, where's your bathroom?"

"Upstairs, first door on the left." Ness nodded and ran up there. But before he ran up the stairs he grabbed the book. He entered the bathroom, lowered the lid of the toilet, and sat down. He opened the book and closed his eyes. He remembered the date. Tomorrow is Valentine's day, the perfect time. He grabbed a pencil from his pocket. He then wrote, "I want to go to the Valentine's dance with Lucas." Ness looked over what he wrote and smiled. There was a sudden knock at the door which made Ness slightly jump.

"Ness?" Lucas' voice sounded.

"Yea?"

"Everything alright, I saw you grab something from your bag."

"Don't worry, it was just a special toilet paper. My asshole is sensitive.

"...Ok, I didn't need to know that." Ness hid the book behind the toilet and stood up. He opened the door and smiled. "Oh, and, my mom and dad wanted to know if you're coming to the restaurant with us."

"What type of dessert does it have?"

"Dessert? Um, I think it has a molten chocolate fudge brownie." Ness' eyes widened.

"Fuck yeah I'm going, I'm a chocoholic."

"Goddamn it, I've already got to deal with Claus' chocolate addiction. Well, come on." Ness nodded and ran after Lucas down the stairs. They then hopped into Hinawa's class. Flint was in the passenger's seat, Hinawa was driving, Ninten and Claus were in the middle two seats, and Ness and Lucas were in the back. The car started, and Ness looked out of the window. "Ness?" Ness turned his head to look at Lucas.

"What up?" Lucas chuckled.

"I just wanted to see your face." Ness smirked.

"Can y'all stop flirting for like an hour, jeez, horny bastards," Claus said.

"CLAUS, language," Flint said. Claus crossed his arms.

"Sorry." Ninten started to laugh, which made Claus slightly blush. Lucas looked at Ness, who saw the same thing. Before he could say anything Claus looked at them. "Don't you even bring it up." It took a few more minutes for them to get to the restaurant. They hopped out of the car and looked at the restaurant. It was King Dedede's Dedelicious Food. Ness tilted his head at the name.

"It kinda sounds stupid," Ness said.

"Yea, but the food is good," Lucas said. He then grabbed Ness' arm and ran into the restaurant. "We gotta get to the best table." Ness didn't fight the grip. Lucas ran to the opposite side of the restaurant. The others followed. There was a small table. This wasn't going to sit them all, so they chose to use two tables. Ness and Lucas sat opposite each other. Claus then sat next to Lucas and Ninten next to Ness.

"Why is this the best?" Ness asked. Lucas smiled and looked out of the window. The dark sky was covered by a cloud. But one specific part was uncovered. That's the part that Lucas was looking at. The circle of unclouded sky. Ness tilted his head. He saw the excitement on Lucas' face. He grew a smirk and looked at the small starry sky. Soon a waitress came over. She had various menus. Hinawa stuck her head up from the booth behind Ness and Ninten.

"Boys, nothing over fifty bucks," Hinawa said. The boys nodded and she sat back down. They looked through the menu. A little later the waitress, a black-haired girl with a name tag-with Lucina on it-came back. She took the menus and wrote down their choices.

"Claus?" Ninten questioned.

"Hm?"

"You didn't bring your headphones."

"Oh, guess I didn't," Claus shrugged. Lucas smiled and put a hand on his shoulder.

"You're evolving," Lucas smirks.

"Let go of me." Lucas nodded his head and put his hand down.

"Luke?" Ness asked.

"Yea?"

"You going to the Valentine dance tomorrow?"

"I dunno."

"I am," Ninten interrupted.

"Nin, don't even-"

"With Claus."

"Goddamn it." Lucas smiled and looked at Claus. Claus just crossed his arms.

"Wow, didn't know you'd want dick in your mouth," Lucas laughed.

"LUCAS, CLAUS, language," Flint yelled.

"Sorry," the two boys said in unison. Ness looked at Ninten and winked.

"We're not going as dates, just as friends," Claus covered up.

"That's what he tries to say," Ninten said.

"Man, the tea is being spilled," Ness laughed. Claus stood up and grabbed Ninten's hand and walked away. Lucas chuckled to himself and lowered in his seat. Ness rubbed the back of his neck. Lucas sensed he was uncomfortable.

"Ness?"

"Hm?"

"Are you going?" Ness shook his head and sadly sighed. "You can talk to me…" Lucas started. He reached forward and grabbed his hands. "I'm right here."

"I don't have anyone to go with." Lucas smiled.

"Well, I ain't doing anything tomorrow." Ness looked up at him and his mouth stayed open. "So, wanna go? The last thing I want is for Claus to seem 'cooler' than me," Lucas chuckled.

"I'd love to go, I-I mean, sure, I have time." Soon enough Claus and Ninten walked back and sat in the spaces. Ninten seemed to look surprised. Lucas let go of Ness' hands. Ness looked at Ninten. Ninten put his hand on his cheek and grew a smile. "What's the matter?" Ninten looked up at Claus. Claus faintly nodded with a small smirk.

"Claus kissed me," Ninten simply said. Lucas looked at Claus, who winked at him. Lucas patted his back. A little after that Lucina came back with their food. They all happily ate and drank their food. While his parents were paying, Lucas walked out of the building. Lucas walked to where the circle of unclouded sky. Lucas smiled as he saw the stars. Ness soon walked next to him. Ness looked up with him.

"Beautiful, ain't it?"

"Yea, but, If I had a choice, I'd choose to look at you."

"Me?" Lucas looked down and at Ness. "Why?" Lucas looked down and saw that the others were waiting for them. Lucas looked back at Ness and smiled. He playfully slapped his cheeks and ran for the car. Ness followed. Hinawa and Flint proceeded to drive Ness and Ninten to their houses. They soon got to their house. Lucas and Claus ran up to the hall that had their rooms.

"Claus?" Lucas asked as he opened the door. Claus turned his head with a small hum. "Do you actually like Ninten?"

"...Yea, why?"

"Just, wanted to make sure you truly felt that way." Claus entered his room with a nod. When he did Lucas walked away from his room and got to the bathroom. He then looked down and behind the toilet, and found Ness' book. He picked it up and smirked. "Knew it." He opened it and saw what little was written. The last one made him smile. He closed the book and blushed. He held the book close to his chest and closed his eyes. He exhaled a happy breath.

The next day raced by. Lucas didn't mention the book Ness left behind, nor did Ness ask about it. The two of them met up after school. They were in the gymnasium looking at the final preparations for the dance being made. "Ness?" Lucas asked.

"What's up?" Ness looked at him.

"Do you have a crush?"

"Maybe, you?"

"I think so." As they talked more Lucas saw Paula walking toward them. She seemed guilty. She stopped in front of them and rubbed her arm.

"Ness?" she asked. Ness tilted his head with a faint hum. "I'm, I'm sorry if I've made you uncomfortable with being all up on you."

"Oh, it's fine Paula. I just want you to know I don't really feel anything like that between us."

"I know, I just felt bad for doing what I've done. Can we stay friends?" Ness smirked and nodded his head.

"Of course Paula." Paula smiled and looked at Lucas. She gave him a similar apology, to get a similar forgiving talk from Lucas. She hugged them both and skipped away. Lucas smiled, almost like he was proud of himself.

"We should probably go home and get ready, I wanna look spiffy for ya." Lucas nodded. They both walked to their respective houses. While there they both put on pink tuxedos that their parents just so happened to buy them while they were at school. Lucas looked in the mirror and winked at himself, testing his sexiness.

"You sly dog," Lucas said. He opened the door to see Claus in a purple tuxedo. They actually did have to wait a few hours before getting ready, and Claus looks rather tired from the wait.

"You ready, self-sucker?" Claus asked.

"Yea, how do I look?"

"Fucking gay."

"Would Ness like it." Claus grew a rare smile.

"He'll love it." He patted Lucas' back and led the way to Hinawa's car. Hinawa drove them back to the school, which was now decked out with pink lights and heart decorations. Lucas and Claus jumped out and patted themselves as they walked to the entrance. They opened the door and saw loads of other people doing basic school dance stuff. "Don't see Ness yet."

"Well, your date is right over there, waitin' for ya," Lucas pointed to the side of the gym. Ninten sucked on his inhaler as he saw Claus. Lucas walked toward the back of the gym, where the food was. Claus nervously walked toward a grinning Ninten.

"Why're you so nervous?" Ninten asked as he grabbed Claus' hands. Claus shook his head and looked at what he was wearing.

"Baby blue looks ugly on you." Ninten smiled and hugged Claus. Claus scratched the back of Ninten's head before wrapping his arms around him. Lucas saw this and gave a single chuckle. He put some punch in a solo cup and grabbed a cookie. That's when he shook his head and tossed the cookie in the trash for a small cup of Jello. While he was drinking his punch Ness randomly appeared behind him. Lucas didn't jump, however, much to Ness' displeasure. Ness leaned down and tipped the cup slightly down.

"Has anyone told you that you look very gay?" Lucas manually lowered his cup.

"Of course, Claus would be hating himself if he didn't at least mention it. You look quite gay yourself." Ness laughed.

"Yea, Tracy won't let me forget it." At this point, the lights dimmed and slow music started to play. Both of them started to rub the back of their necks in nervousness.

"You see, Luke, I asked you here because-"

"You want to be my Valentine?"

"No."

"Oh," Lucas said awkwardly.

"My gay valentine." Lucas' awkwardness changed to a smile.

"Only if you'll be mine." Ness grabbed Lucas' hand and walked to the nearly empty dance floor. Lucas put his head and Ness' chest and lowered their hands. Ness put his head on Lucas' head and they moved right to left slightly. "Ness, I know about the book."

"What book?"

"The wish book," Lucas said as he looked up with his chin on Ness' chest.

"How?"

"One, you forgot it in my bathroom, and two, one who has a book senses a book."

"Wait, you have one?" Lucas smiled and fixed his head. He closed his eyes.

"Well, I wanted Claus to be happy. I didn't expect him with Ninten though."

"What about me?"

"Well, I don't need to do anything that you haven't already done." Ness stopped moving and just hugged him. Lucas happily hugged him back.

"Thank you for being my valentine."

"Trust me Ness, I should be thanking you. It's your book that put us together." Ness' smile grew wider. "So, thank you, for everything."
