''They should be here any second now.'' Ness' mother paced the living room, walking backwards and forwards as she constantly ran her eyes around the furniture, making sure everything was spick and span.

''Ah you su-ha?'' Ness questioned. ''Sey ah vehy late...'' The capped boy glanced at the clock that hung above the fireplace.

''I'm sure they're coming... Maybe the traffic was bad?'' The pacing woman nervously played with her hands.

''Check out of seh window to see if you can see them apphoaching!''

''I don't want to mess the curtains up. There isn't a crease in them and they're neatly closed.''

''Sehiously?'' Ness rolled his eyes before getting off the cream sofa that he was sat on.

Ness' mother's eyes widened as she noticed a pillow move out of place as Ness got up. She rushed over to the wonky pillow and straightened it before letting out a satisfied sigh.

''Sere sey ah! I told you!'' Ness beamed as he slightly opened the curtain from the left side. ''I can see youah f'hend and heh family!''

Ness' mother anxiously squealed. Now it had come to the point where she had to be the perfect host and deliver a perfectly presented dinner and make sure her children were on their best behaviour, she was beginning to hyperventilate. ''Go get Tracy, quick!'' She ushered Ness out of the living room. ''Come on, be brave. You can do this. You've prepared for this.'' She muttered to herself in between deep, calming breaths.

Wow, she really did overreact.

''I was just joking. Sey ah not 'heally heyah.'' Ness suddenly said.

''NESS!'' Ness' mother growled in frustration. Wow, her son was a total ass sometimes.

''Haha! You should have seen youah face!'' Ness giggled uncontrollably.

''IT'S NOT FUNNY!''

''I'm just phepahing you foh when sey actually do ahive!'' Ness smiled sheepishly as his mother's face turned crimson. He wasn't sure if she was embarrassed or just plain angry. Well, by the way her teeth were clenched together, the second option probably matched more appropriately.

''IF YOU EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN YOUNG MAN THEN I'LL GROUND YOU FOR SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND POINT EIGHT YEARS AND YOU'LL NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PLAY BASEBALL EVER AGAIN BECAUSE I WILL CONFISCATE EVERY PIECE OF BASEBALL EQUIPMENT THAT YOU OWN AND-''

KNOCK KNOCK

''Mum?'' Ness attempted to grasp his mother's attention but she continued to yell.

''-I WILL KICK OUT OF YOUR BIG ROOM AND FORCE YOU TO MOVE INTO TRACY'S SMALLER ROOM AND SHE'LL HAVE YOUR ROOM AND-''

KNOCK KNOCK

''Mum...'' Ness tried again.

''-I WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU TO SEE PAULA OR JEFF OR ANY OF YOUR OTHER FRIENDS EVER AGAIN AND I'LL TELL THEM THAT YOU WET THE BED EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T AND ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT? I'LL MAKE YOU MOVE IN WITH LARDNA AND ALOYSIUS MINCH! HAHAHA YES! WORST PUNISHMENT EVER FOR YOU!''

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK, DING DONG, KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

''MUUUUUUUUUUM!'' Ness shouted over his mother's voice.

Ness' mother suddenly went quiet.

''Sere's somebody at seh dooh. I sink sat sey ah heyah.'' Ness finally got to tell his raging mum.

Ness' mother stood still. She froze to the spot. She was stunned. She realised that Hinawa and her family had probably just heard every bit of what she had just yelled. So much for a good impression. ''Oh.'' She tilted her head and pulled a melodramatic smile, bearing every one of her teeth. ''Go get, Tracy.''

''Okay.'' Ness smirked as he pounded up the stairs, taking two at a time.

KNOCK KNOCK

Ness' mother braced herself and grasped the door handle. ''Here goes nothing.'' She whispered to herself. She opened the door to reveal her friend standing there will her husband who was dressed as a cowboy, and her two twin sons who had two entirely different facial expressions. One had a look of worry, as if he'd just seen a phantom, and one had a look of impatience, as if his expectations had not been reached by a long run.

''Heeeelloo!'' Hinawa was the first to speak as she greeted her friend with a large, friendly smile and a huge hug. She eventually pulled away and straightened her smile. ''I'm terribly sorry for the series of knocks and doorbell ringing... Claus here doesn't know how to WAIT.'' She pursed her lips and glared at her orange-haired son. Her facial expression read 'REMEMBER OUR RULES'

Claus snarled.

''It's alright, honestly. I should have responded quicker! A host isn't supposed to keep their guests waiting!'' Ness' mother replied apologetically. ''Anyway, it's lovely to see you all! You all look fantastic. Please, come in!'' She moved to the side to allow her guests access through the door.

''I was planning to.'' Claus muttered under his breath and gained a small slap round the head from, Flint.

Lucas hesitated before clutching onto his mother's dress and following her into the house, close behind. He attempted to stay out of everyone's seeing range. He didn't do too well though.

''Aww, so who is this adorable little thing hiding behind you?'' Ness' mother cooed at Lucas' cute; baby like face as she closed the door.

Lucas turned a light shade of pink as everyone's attention suddenly focused on him.

Hinawa giggled. ''It's okay, honey.'' She whispered to her son before turning around to face her friend again. ''This is, Lucas! He's the good twin.'' She accusingly narrowed her eyes at her devil child, Claus.

Claus rolled his eyes.

Ness' mother gave a small chuckle. ''How sweet.''

Lucas grew even more nervous.

Claus recognised it. He decided to come to his brother's rescue. ''Hey, I'm starving. Can we eat yet?'' The orange-haired boy asked, impatience dripping from his tongue.

Ness' mother turned away from Lucas and set her eyes on the rude, ginger boy. ''Um, I suppose so. Are you all okay with that?'' She analysed the faces of her guests to pick out any disagreements.

Flint rolled his eyes at his son's behaviour. Why was he such a little bastard?

Hinawa nodded kindly. She'd do whatever the host suggested. Although, it had been Claus' idea... It would be rude to disagree with the host, right?

Ness' mother suddenly gave a small sigh. ''Where are my children?'' She walked over to the bottom of the stairs and called up. ''NESS! TRACY!'' She then turned to Hinawa and shook her head. ''Children...''

Hinawa giggled before glancing at Claus with raised eyebrows. ''Tell me about it!''

Claus scowled.

Suddenly, the sound of two pairs of feet could be heard running across the landing.

Lucas whimpered. More people? Could this day possibly get any worse? The omelettes better be good enough to make up for this torment.

Ness and Tracy emerged from the top of the stairs and started to make their way down. Both at a steady, sensible pace to justify their mother's parenting. They had to be completely sensible to show the guests that their mother had raised them to be angels.

''Hello! I'm Ness and sis is my sistah T'hacy.'' The polite, capped boy introduced himself and his cute, little sister. Tracy presented the guests with a courtesy.

Claus arrogantly sniggered at Ness' accent or so-called speech impediment.

Lucas remained hidden by his mother's figure.

''Hello, Sweet Hearts! Nice to meet you!'' Hinawa grinned at the well-presented children. ''I'm Hinawa,'' She pointed to herself. ''This is, Flint,'' She nodded to, Flint. ''And these are my twin sons. Claus-'' She nodded at Claus. ''And Lucas.'' She tried to move aside to reveal her blonde son but Lucas objected by following her step.

Ness tilted his head, slightly. Not understanding why the other boy refused to be shown.

''I'm sorry. Lucas is a little shy.'' Hinawa giggled.

''You don't have to be shy!'' Ness assured the 'invisible' boy.

''That's what I always tell him. He never listens though.'' Flint added to the conversation before reaching behind Hinawa to ruffle his son's hair.

Ness giggled. He liked the cowboy looking man. He was funny.

Everyone had been so engrossed in the conversation that they didn't notice Ness' mother's disappearance. ''Dinner is served!'' She cooed from the kitchen. ''YES! FINALLY!'' Claus pushed past everyone who crowded the hall and ran to the kitchen. He could smell omelettes.

Hinawa let out a quiet sigh at her son's behaviour. Boy, was he embarrassing.

As they all made their way to the kitchen to retrieve their dinner, Lucas stayed close behind his mother. The thing was, it's not like he could stay behind his mother while they ate, right? Great. He was going to have to show his face and be spoken to. He hated meeting new people.

''You can all sit wherever you like.'' Ness' mother smiled as she took a seat at the head of the table.

Hinawa took the head at the other side of the table so both of the reunited friends were sitting across from each other as they watched their children (and husband) fuss around the different chairs.

In the end, Lucas sat on the chair nearest his mother with Flint next to him, and Ness sat across from him, and Tracy sat next to Ness nearest Ness' mother. However, there wasn't enough seats for Claus, so instead of being normal and asking for a spare chair, he took his dinner plate and sat on the kitchen floor. Next to King. Ness' dog.

Tracy sniggered at him.

''Claus, honey! Don't you want a chair?'' Ness' mother asked sweetly. She didn't realise that there wouldn't be enough seats.

''I'm fine.'' Claus muttered, his mouth already crammed full with omelette.

King lifted his head up and sniffed at the orange-haired boy's plate.

Claus narrowed his eyes at the dog before pulling his plate away, growling.

''Alright...'' Ness' mother shrugged. ''Whatever you want.'' This 'Claus' boy was an odd child...

Claus withdrew from the conversation and focused on his food. What's the point in talking when you could be eating?

Lucas, on the other hand, kept his head face down and stared at his plate.

Whilst everyone else was eating, the blonde boy refused to even lift his fork. He didn't realise how embarrassing it would be to eat in front of a bunch of strangers.

Little did, Lucas know... One of the strangers seemed to have a particular interest in him.

The raven haired boy kept glancing across the table to catch an eyeful of the timid boy.

If Lucas looked up, he'd be sure to make direct eye contact with Ness.

''Lucas, honey. Eat up!'' Hinawa encouraged her son, voice like silk.

Lucas turned to his mother. ''I- um... Okay...'' He blushed before taking a quick glance around the table. Everybody was too interested in their meals to even take notice of the blonde boy's shyness despite him worrying that everyone would be focused on him. As if a huge stage light was shining down on him and blacking out everything else.

When Lucas's blue orbs met the boy across from him, violet eyes stared straight back at him. Violet eyes... How mesmerising...How unique...

The raven haired boy gave a small, friendly smile.

The blonde boy's face flushed crimson and he shot his head back down to look at his omelettes, again.

The raven haired boy giggled.

Lucas heard the giggle and couldn't help but give a tiny smile. Ness' laugh was really cute...

Ness shook his head, still smiling. He forked up some steak and placed it into his mouth before chewing.

Lucas kept his head down, but rolled his eyes upwards to catch a glimpse of the capped boy. He was really handsome... His eyes were glistening; mysterious; you could get lost in them. His skin looked tanned and soft. His nose was small and had no flaws. His lips... His lips looked so... Kissable.

Ness caught the blonde boy's eyes on him and delivered yet another warm, welcoming smile. He locked eyes with the timid boy. His eyes were so hypnotic; blue; diamond-like. His skin looked smooth and pale. His cheeks were a light, rosy pink. His nose was perfectly in proportion. His lips. Oh, his lips. They looked so... Heavenly.

Both of the boys kept their eyes linked for a while. They were drinking in each other's features. Drawing in how perfect each other were.

If this scene was to be described, it would certainly go by 'Love At First Sight'

Neither of the boys heard the voices of the people surrounding them. Nobody else mattered at the moment. They were too focused on each other to give a care about anything else. Not even their favourite meals. Not even the aroma of omelettes and steak beckoning them to lift their cutlery and dig in.

All they gave a damn about was the fact that their hearts felt unusual. They felt warm. They felt them beating faster than before.

Could this be the most important moment of their lives?

Could this determine their future?

Could this be the moment when they find 'The One'?

Could this be true love?

But, most importantly...

Could they be GAY?

A/N: Boy oh boy. I have had writers block on this for AGES. Approximately a month? I'm not sure.

I'm sorry for leaving it for so long. I decided to dominate my writers block today.

I've had half of this chapter written and saved on my memopad but today I clicked on it and FORCED myself to write the rest.

I hope this doesn't completely ruin the story. I know it isn't that good and it could have been a lot better if I had brainstormed first.

I'm going to add more about them being interested in each other in the next chapter and I will also include their thoughts in italics.

I'm also sorry if you think that I write about, Claus too much.

I just love, Claus.

Plus, the way he acts reminds me of myself in this fanfic. Hah.

I'll try and distance him a bit, if you like? Depends how you feel about it.

Also, please take part in the poll on my profile.

And, a question I have for another fanfiction is ''SHOULD I MAKE A FANFICTION ABOUT AN EARTHBOUND CHATROOM FEATURING ALL OF THE PROTAGONISTS AND THEIR FELLOW CHOSEN ONES AND SOME ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS?'' Answer alongside your review OR pm it to me.

Last but not least, you can ask me questions on my Ask profile which is linked in my bio on my profile. (I roleplay as Lucas on it)

Thanks.
