~*Improviso Vir*~
Unexpected Hero
Lucas ran behind Claus, stumbling over his own feet and he kept thinking to himself all the while, Why am I so clumsy?! Compared to Claus, the younger twin felt like a colt trying to keep up with a stallion. He shouted for his brother to slow down, but of course he was too into their game of Chicken Chase to even consider such a thing. A deep unhappiness welled up inside of him and he prayed to the heavens that he'd not always be so far behind Claus. That one day, he'd lead.
Lucas narrowed his eyes, irritation boiling within him, as the Masked Man lifted his head and seemed to smile. That was yet another Needle he had gotten before him! Why was he always falling behind this robotic nuisance?
It was clear, really. The Pigmask Commander had all sorts of things at hand, from tanks to airships, and he lacked for nothing. The boy from a shattered family—its survivors filled with shattered hearts—had nothing but his own wits to get him where he needed to go.
"It's okay, Lucas," Duster assured him as the Masked Man smirked and turned away.
No, it wasn't okay. Because to him the feeling was uncomfortably familiar, as if he was used to being behind someone and struggling to catch up.
Fanfiction has removed my pagebreakers for some reason! The things I use to seperate my ANs from the story. Crap. Anyway, I'm replaying Mother 3 in an effort to get back into this one-shot collection, we'll see if I can update faster.
