Cushions. Shulk thought to himself. The only things between me and the women I love are two cushions.
"So." Lucina said. She and Shulk where sitting on a couch in the observatory of the smash mansion. "Was what I did to get revenge on Peach to cruel?"
"HUH?" Shulk asked. "Oh yeah! Can you repeat that again! I'm listening!"
Lucina rolled her eyes. "I used her toothbrush to clean the toilet."
"You did WHAT!" Shulk laughed. "No way!"
"Yes!" Lucina cried. "The worst part of it though? I didn't tell her."
"She isn't going to use it is she?" Shulk smiled.
"She already did." Lucina said with a devious grin. "The worst part of it though? She didn't even notice!"
Shulk burst out laughing for a moment. Then it was quiet again. Well until a bright beam of light soared across the dark cloudy sky.
"Look!" Lucina cried while pointing upwards. "A shooting star!"
"How is that possible?" Shulk asked as he scratched his chin. "The sky is covered with clouds. A single star shouldn't be present."
"Don't ruin the moment!" Lucina laughed as she rested her head on Shulk's shoulder. "I know you're a genius and all, but stop thinking about logic for one moment and enjoy the magic!"
"WHA-don't tell anyone that please!" He cried as he wrapped his arm around her, as if he wanted to keep her from going anywhere.
"Gladly." Lucina said as she gave Shulk a hug. "I can never thank you enough for the way you stood up for me today."
"I'd do it over and over again." Those where his last words before trailing off to sleep.
"You idiot." Lucina whispered as she closed her eyes. "Yet, despite your many flaws I feel something towards you."
Shortly after that Lucina fell asleep. Time passed, till morning came again as our heroes woke.
"Huh." Shulk said while rubbing his eyes. "Where am I?"
As if it was destined to happen, Lucina woke up a second later. "Did I… fall asleep?"
The two noticed each other and screamed in shock.
"Well well." Dark Pit said while walking forward. A huge grin was on his face. "The lovebirds have woken up!"
"Listen Dark Pit!" Shulk snapped. "We didn't mean to fall asleep it just happened! Anyways has the storm hit?"
A loud boom occurred, making both Lucina and Shulk stand up in shock.
Dark Pit nodded. "It started about an hour ago. In other news, our toilet is clogged and Mario won't fix it because of what happened between you and Peach, the animes showing at the theaters this week are Assassination Classroom, Tokyo Ghoul and Problem Children are Coming From Another World Aren't They?. Also half of the girls are crying and claiming someone named Kyubey ruined their lives after watching an anime last night. So yeah. Same old, same old."
"How did the toilet get clogged?" Shulk asked.
"No idea!" Dark Pit said a little too quickly as his face turned red. "Anyways, why did you have to go pick a fight with Peach?"
"She deserved everything she got." Shulk huffed. "Anyways I prepared in case something like this would happen. I built- I mean found a machine a while ago that takes care of all of the plumbing!" He grabbed a remote out of his pocket and began to fiddle with the buttons.
"Why do you carry remotes in your pocket?" Lucina asked as her eyes narrowed.
"You never know when you might need them." Shulk said with a smile as the machine rolled into the room. It was circular, with a huge metal rod coming out of the top. The end of the metal rod had a claw like gadget on top.
The machine started to move towards the dorm as Shulk, Lucina and Dark Pit followed as thunder boomed and the wind howled. After a couple of minutes however they found themselves in the dorm. Marth was already in there, watching some weird show with four creepy looking creatures.
"Now Cloggbot!" Shulk cried. "Do what I-I mean your creator programed you to do!"
The robot started to move into the bathroom beeping happily.
"CLOGGBOT!" Dark Pit laughed. "How long did it take you to come up with that name?"
"I think it's a cute name!" Lucina said as she folded her arms.
"Of course you do!" Dark Pit cried. "Girls think anything there boyfriend does is adorable!"
"WHA-We're not dating!" Shulk cried. "Why does everyone think that nowadays?"
"Maybe because you to were cuddling on the couch." Dark Pit smirked. "And don't you dare try to play dumb. I got a picture to prove to!" He pulled up his phone to reveal a picture of Shulk and Lucina. Both of them where leaning on each other while sleeping.
"Well…uh…I" Shulk stammered.
"What are you fighting about now?" Marth asked. "Come on down and watch Teletubbies with me!"
"Can it Mr. Fancypants." Dark Pit snarled. "A bit of advice for both of you. Quit pretending you're not a couple, when you obviously are. And Shulk? Stop pretending to be dumb, when in reality you're a genius."
"What…what do you mean by that?" Shulk choked out. How did he find out?
"Please!" Dark Pit snarled. "No one is that lucky! And I'm guessing the robot that is now unclogging our toilet is your own invention."
"In his defense, the only reason we need the robot is because you tried to flush your tuxedo down the toilet." Marth mused.
"Ah HA!" Lucina cried. "So it's all your fault the toilet got clogged in the first place!"
"Stop ganging up on me!" Dark Pit snarled.
"Hey I'm not on anyone's side!" Marth cried. "I just want to watch my show in peace!"
"Which is supposed to be for little kids!" Dark Pit snarled. "Why do they call you the hero king? I can't wait until everyone wakes up and realizes you're just a huge dork!"
At that moment Shulk had heard enough. He walked to the balcony door, remembered the massive storm and went to the bathroom instead. Once he was there he sat down besides the washing machine as Cloggbot pulled a wet pink tuxedo out of the toilet.
"Please put that in the washer." Shulk said as he pressed the button. Man. Why do I have to be so smart? All I do know is this… I'll never live being like this down. Why does… "AHHHH!" Shulk screamed as Cloggbot ran into him.
The tiny robot beeped twice than started running in circles, while beeping happily.
"Cute." Lucina said while walking inside. "Do you mind if I come in?"
"Sure thing." Shulk muttered.
"Here." Lucina said as she handed Shulk a stuffed animal of a cat-like creature. "Have a Kyubey. They gave me two for some reason. Anyways can I ask you something?"
"If you want to." Shulk said.
"Alright. How bad was your bullying?" Lucina asked.
"Bad enough to last thirteen years." Shulk muttered. "It just because I surpassed all of them in all of their classes. My mentor and my friends tried to get them to shut up, but it kept on happening."
"But the message did get through didn't it?" Lucina asked.
Shulk shook his head. "No." He responded. "Two of them were killed by mechon, and I don't know a thing about what happened to the last one. All I know is at the age of 15 he become obsessed with my friend and started stalking her. Eventually he tried to kill her to so she would belong to him and him alone, but her brother stopped him and filed a restraining order on him. After that he was sent to another colony."
Lucina winced. "Forgive me. I had no idea it was that bad. No wonder you're afraid it'll start again." She gave Shulk a hug. "Don't worry. I'm here now. If anyone tries to hurt you I'll throw them into the dungeon."
"Are you allowed to do that?" Shulk asked with a laugh as he pulled her close.
"Yes." Lucina said. "Come to think of it, this is the same thing we did last night."
"Figures." Shulk laughed. "Expect this time where being watched by Cloggbot and Ky-what was it?"
"Kyubey!" Lucina said as she nuzzled Shulk. "I have one as well. They were giving them out for free last night and they gave me two for some reason. Maybe it could be our version of a friendship necklace or something."
"Good idea." Shulk said as he pulled her in closer. "Like a symbol of our bond or something!"
This feels so amazing. Shulk thought to himself. Maybe I am worth a glance. Maybe I am special. But it doesn't matter. She feels nothing towards me. She deserves a handsome prince. Not a fulgy nerd.
This is Kyubey if your curious. images19/content/output/000/000/000/7d0/810691188_ I dont know why I made him the mascot of there relationship. That is most likely going to change later on.
