If Lukas Bondevik ever showed much interest, romantically or otherwise towards someone else, it was usually difficult to pick up on. His usually neutral face held very little emotions, save for maybe irritation, or maybe even a sarcastic connotation with them. In short, his face could be as stoic as a rock.
But at times even his - obnoxious and oblivious - friend, Mathias, would notice his wandering eye. Though Mathias could never place who it was that had caught Lukas' attention. Whenever he questioned him about it the conversation would always end the same.
"Come on, Lukas. Just tell me who it is, I can keep a secret!"
"That's good one, Mathias."
"I'm serious, man!"
"I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Get to class."
"But-!"
Lukas would refuse to respond after that point. He didn't need anyone in his business, especially not Mathias of all people. Besides, addressing these feelings that were hidden deep within his heart were better left there. She wouldn't look at him in that way, not while she still had very strong feelings for her best friend.
After school Lukas sat in his car as he waited for it to warm up. He happened to look up and his attention was grabbed by the girl with the poofiest hair he had ever seen. Her smile was bright and carefree and beautiful. Aradia Megido. He had spoken with her on numerous occasions and she was one of the very few people who could get him to genuinely smile.
Unfortunately the moment of bliss just stealing a glance at her was short-lived when he noticed Sollux Captor next to her, sharing a scarf as they walked home. From what he understood, they were childhood friends and most suspected them of dating (though the only thing that was confirmed were Aradia's feelings for Sollux).
Lukas sighed and started up his car, and drove home.

It was months later when Lukas found a heartbroken Aradia in his arms on the rooftop after school. It wasn't the moment he had been hoping for, because circumstance was a bitch.
Apparently Sollux had become enamored with Feferi Peixes, leaving poor Aradia heartbroken and hollow. He felt terrible as he placed his chin on top of her head, and stroked her long hair comfortingly. It almost felt like he had been the rejected one despite never even speaking up about his feelings.
Her sniffles and hiccups were dying down some and whispered. "It'll be okay, Aradia. I'm here for you."
Her response was sad and forced out through a series of stutters. "Thank you, Lukas."
A/N: Welp didn't take long for me to write up the second drabble. A friend of mine gave me a few pairings that she really liked and I got excited so I just started drabbling them. Enjoy my Norway/Aradia drabble. I was listening to Broadway Aradia songs hence the sad feel to this one.
