Speak Now
Chapter 4 : Nana used GUTS!
I felt my eyes slowly open, the surroundings a blurry red and yellow, a familiar monochromatic scheme of brown... and a blinding white. I hold my hand over my eyes to shield them from the assaulting fluorescent lighting. My vision cleared up and I saw Lucas bending over my bed, his face once again millimeters from my face. Relief was written all over his cute face.
It took me a few seconds to process the moment. Then, I realized just how REALLY close Lucas was to me and my pajamas. As a reflex from all of Toon Link's silly "wake up" pranks, I sat up and gathered up the blanket to cover up my non-existent chest. I madly blush as Lucas laugh at my feeble attempt.
Because of the sudden movement, my head started to throb painfully. I ask Lucas what had happened to me to give me such a full-scale headache. He softly chuckled and held up a mushroom lying on my bedside table.
A few moments were needed for me to understand why the heck Lucas was holding a mushroom and how the heck could that mushroom have given me such a headache...
Then, it finally came rushing back to me.
Lucas and I were sitting on the front porch of the Smash Mansion, drinking lemonade and eating Doritos. He was telling me a story about how once, during his adventures, he went on an unintentional drug trip. He and his companions had to walk on the bottom of the ocean to cross to Tanetane Island, where something of great importance, though I can't remember what, was being kept by some cross-dressing magical transvestite who lives in a house shaped like a wentletrap shell. Apart from the odd guardian of the treasure, Lucas was forced to barter his first kiss for some oxygen. Wanna take a stab as to how and why? Well, in the bottom of Tazmily Sea, there are these oxygen-supplying machines in the guise of creepy mermen. Yes, you have to make out with an oxygen tank in the shape of a merman to get your oxygen. Now do you understand why Lucas's sexuality was always questioned?
Seriously. Look up Lucas on fanfiction. net and you'll see how many fanfics he has there that has him either making out with Ness, or having a sexual romp with Red.
...
Seriously. I dare you.
After exploring the ocean floor for a bit, a sudden whirlpool sucked Lucas and his friends (including his dog) in, making them lose consciousness.
Fortunately, they washed up on the shore of a strange island. Unfortunately, they felt tired and weak, making them susceptible to enemies. While looking for something to eat to recuperate their strength, they found a pile of mushrooms growing out of an old, rotting tree stump. Doing what they had to, they ate it.
And, a rousing drug trip ensures...
Lucas pulled on out of his old, travelling knapsack to show all of a sudden, Ness, listening in on the conversation, dared me to eat it. Affected by the taunting grin slathered on his face, I ate it.
...
And so...the whole thing...the wedding...the barging in... Bridezilla... it was all a hallucination.
Great.
Just great.
All of the things that I have done to tell Lucas... All the energy and the courage it took me to get my happy-ever-after...and now I realize that it was all a dream?
... Surprise, me! You just went on a drug trip. Congratu-ma-lations.
Love is a funny thing. In love, saying the right thing at the right moment is extremely crucial. In fact, it's so important, that the majority of us would hesitate, for fear for saying the wrong things at the wrong moments...or never seeing the moment to say it at all. But, now, in this very moment, the only fear in my mind is the fear of letting this moment pass without me saying what I feel. Maybe what I'll say is wrong, or might be too much for him. Right now, however, I won't let anything, including my insecurity, stop me from telling him how I feel. I won't let Lucas slip through my fingers, just like I did in my dream. I deserve to look back on my life and not see any regret upon any given moment, no voices whispering how things could have been but aren't.
There is a time to be silent. There is a time where I have to measure my words correctly. But now is not the time for that. It is time to speak now.
But heck, why speak, when I could show him? After all, actions speak louder than words. And there is no better way of saying 'I love you' than with a soft, simple kiss.
True, this could be the end of our friendship...but could be the start of something wonderful.
I'm willing to take that risk. After all, I might end up with something more valuable than our friendship. Taking a dive at him, I softly placed my lips over his, which were still busy explaining...
...
Best way to shut someone up.
