Nightmares
Chapter 4
Ninten walked up the front steps and paused, stopping himself from knocking on the door. Lloyd just sighed, walking up behind the brunet to ring the doorbell. Ninten turned to glare at the white-haired boy, when the door had opened.
"Come in Ninten!" Claus greeted, holding the door for his best friend.
As Ninten walked into the house, he spotted a familiar ravenet, sitting on the couch playing video games.
"You brought him?!" Ninten groaned, causing the noiret to jerk his head in Ninten's direction. Claus chuckled as Lloyd elbowed his roommate.
"Be nice." he whispered, causing the ginger's chuckles to increase in volume, soon becoming a laughing fit.
"What's wrong with Ness?" Lucas asked, startling his older brother as he stood behind him.
"Nothing." the brunet hummed, glancing at Ness for a second. The shorter capped just returned the glare.
"You should come in now, it's not very warm out." The blond stated, soon enough Ninten trudged in, while Lloyd had just waited outside.
"I walked Ninten over, that's pretty much the only reason why I'm here." He said, kicking a rock down the steps. "I should get going." He soon turned around and walked down the steps. Ninten and the twins gave him their goodbyes while Ness was too caught up in whatever he was playing. Claus shut the door and turned towards his friend.
"What now?" He asked, raising a brow. The brunet replied with a shrug and Ness spoke up.
"Didn't you call him here just so you guys can make out?" his eyes still on the television screen.
"No!" Both Claus and Ninten had replied simotaniously, the younger's face a deep shade of pink, while the ginger's a deep shade of red. Ninten soon walked over to Ness, took off his baseball cap, and slapped the noiret with it.
"Ow..." Ness sarcastically groaned, rolling his eyes in the process.
"I swear I'm gonna-"
"Ninten, let's just go," Claus spoke up, interupting his friend.
"Fine." Ninten grumbled, following the older upstairs. Lucas and Ness had a small giggle fit. Claus turned around, pushed past Ninten, and glared at both boys when reaching the bottom of the stairs.
"As if you two don't cuddle and smooch every day," He snapped, turning two faces into two tomatoes. He then turned away and stomped back upstairs, where Ninten was waiting for him.
"Now what?" He asked, staring at the brunet.
"Walk?" Ninten suggested, falling backwards onto the twin's bed.
"Sure." Claus smiled, ruffling the younger's hair.
"Ouch." he mumbled, moving his freckled friend's arm away. "Wrong arm."
"Whoops." Claus shrugged, pulling away the robotified body part. He afterwards gestured Ninten to follow, the two reaching the front door and walking out. Since the two haven't seen each other in a while, they had no clue what to talk about.
"So... How's life?" the ginger asked, attempting to start a conversation.
"S' good..." Ninten mumbled, although he didn't really sound convincing.
"Is it...?" Claus asked calmly, putting his arm around his companion's shoulder.
Ninten didn't reply.
'Ninten..." Claus started slowly, "You seem... upset."
"Can we not talk about it right now?" the shorter asked, meeting Claus' gaze. This caused the redhead to retract his hand.
"...Okay." He finally said after a long pause. Ninten smiled slightly, then continued to trudge down the sidewalk.
I can't tell him now. Ninten thought, worry beginning to slowly enter his body.
Ninten knew he wasn't ready to tell Claus, but, they were.
I feel as if my chapters are getting shorter and shorter, and maybe it's because I'm losing ideas? And I'm not so sure. I am still very sorry for how I write my characters, and I have a huge feeling that I wrote Claus wrong too... Or something. I will not be updating as quickly, due to school things, but I'll try to get it done! I hope you enjoy this, and I also hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
