Lucas
It's Thanksgiving soon. I can't be more excited. I love food, I like to think of my love for food as the literal embodiment of my mood. I mostly like the season for the food, but the actual nature of the season is nice as well. The family, and cool nature. The colors also really attract me, it's odd, but this season calms me. I never do end up eating much, my friends and family eat more. Ness, my best friend, eats like his stomach is filled with a black hole. He's a fatass motherfucker, but that's what I love about him. Claus, my brother, really uses me during this time. I end up cooking with my mom, and I get very tired from everything that I cook. So what he does is take advantage of my half-asleep persona and gets whatever he wants. This time around my grandfather, Alec, is visiting. He vows to help my mom cook so I don't have too. He isn't here just yet, but soon.
I was just sitting in my room, writing nothing in particular. I do that often, write, throw away, and rewrite. Claus knocked on the door. I balled up the piece of paper and tossed it into the trash. I walked to the door and opened the door. He didn't seem to expect me to open it at that time because he knocked once more, but on my forehead. "Sorry," Claus said. I just kicked his junk. He fell forwards gripping it in pain. "Yea, I deserve that," he said in a relatively high pitched gasp.
"What do you want?" I asked crossing my hands. He used his right hand to find the door frame and help himself up. He finally calmed down, but still visibly in pain.
"You got some mail." He then led me to the living room. I could smell that my mom started to cook already.
"Mom, you need some help?"
"No, your grandpa will be here soon," mom said. I gave a faint nod as Claus slammed an envelope into my chest. I looked at him with slight anger. He just cleared his throat and walked away. I looked at the envelope and saw a turkey on it. I opened it and found a note. At the top of the note, it had, "I am thankful for". I then read the relatively long note. In short, it said that whoever sent this to me said they were thankful for me. Thankful for the love I show them. I raised an eyebrow. At that time there was a knock at the front door. I opened the door and saw Ness and Ninten.
"Crap, uh, abandon the mission," Ninten said running away. I gave Ninten a confused look.
"He thought we were going to ding-dong-ditch," Ness said.
"If you guys were, then he sucks at it," I said.
"Tell me about it."
"Fuck you, Ness," Ninten's said coming back.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Claus called us here and said he needed to tell Ninten something," Ness said.
"H-he what?" Ninten asked. I looked into the house and saw a nervous Claus.
"Well, I'll leave you two to it," I smirked. I stepped out and pushed Ninten in. I then shoved him into the house and grabbed the doorknob. He turned around.
"I swear to god Lucas if you-" I shoved the door and blocked his voice out. I looked to Ness and giggled a little. We walked away. We soon got to a community center area. This new building was rather large, and decked out with Thanksgiving decoration. We walked in and a man in a turkey suit jumped in front of me. I jumped and screamed behind Ness. I had my hands on his shoulders shielding myself from the abnormally large turkey. Ness looked at me. The man took off the mask and saw that it was my dad.
"Jesus, Lucas, you need to toughen up," my dad laughed. I let go of Ness and crossed my hands.
"I hate you," I scoffed. He then put the mask back on.
"No, if you may, I have some children to scare the living shit out of." He walked away. Ness turned around.
"Man he got you good," Ness laughed. I rolled my eyes and walked forward. I grabbed his hand along the way.
"Let's just go." Despite knowing that he was walking next to me I didn't want to let go of him. I then soon felt his hand leave mine, and in the corner of my eye, I saw Ness walking towards a door. I looked at him and walked with him. I looked where he was looking, a small sign saying that the room was a costume room. He looked at me and grabbed the knob. He then turned it and it opened. He was surprised by this.
"They didn't lock this door?" Ness asked. I just shrugged and we entered the room. I closed the door as Ness turned on the light. There were racks on racks of costumes. Not just Thanksgiving either, there were some iconic Halloween costumes, Christmas, Easter, etc. We walked to the Thanksgiving part and found some pilgrim style costumes. I grabbed one. I looked at Ness.
"Should I?"
"Go for it." I looked around for a changing room but didn't find any. Ness seemingly knew about this search. "Just change here, we're both boys, not like you have anything I don't know about." I gave a faint nod. When I started to undress I could see Ness turn around, but I could see a blush on his face when he did. I then turned to my pants. When they were taken off I started to put on the costume. When I got to the shirt I could see Ness shoot his face away from me. I smirked.
"Were you looking at me?"
"N-no, nothing like. Why would you think I'm a perv." There was a slight pause. "Don't answer that." I chuckled a little and put on the shirt. I grabbed the hat and looked back to Ness. He had a note in his hands, it was the note I got earlier. I adjusted my hat and walked next to him. He looked at me. "Looks like someone likes you."
"Who do you think?"
"Paula?"
"Oh please, you know damn well she is trying to get Poo's dick."
"Kumatora?"
"She's back on Tazmily for a while longer, no way she would have sent this." I took it back. "I'll worry about it later." He looked at me. He smiled.
"You look good." He started to grow a little blush.
"With or without?" I teased. He walked to the rack and looked at the costumes.
"Who said I meant only one," I smirked, hoping he was telling the truth.
"Maybe you'll see the first one more in-depth in the future," I half-joked.
"I hope." I didn't quite hear him. Or maybe, I only heard what I wanted to hear.
"What?"
"N-nothing, don't worry about it." He picked a suit and looked at me. I twisted around and he started to put it on. To get some sort of revenge I started to peek on him. I am a perv for doing it, but he did it too so this qualifies as revenge. He didn't look at me until he was fully undressed. He looked at me and I shot my head back. I started to whistle. "You perv." He soon put on a similar pilgrim suit, but it looked more feminine.
"Cute." He looked up and smiled. Soon the door started to open. "Fuck, uhh, hide." We ran and hid behind the Halloween rack, peeking through a zombie costume.
"Luke?" I looked to him.
"What?"
"Our clothes."
"Shit." That's when there were some voices.
"Weird, I don't remember leaving the light on," the man said.
"Well, that's 'cause your lazy ass forgets to fucking lock the door," a female said. They started to walk and we assume found our clothes.
"We know you're here, just come out before we call security," the man said. I looked to Ness and gulped. He nodded and we both stood up and walked to where we decided to be dumbasses and leave our clothes. The man and woman looked at us. They walked to us.
"Well, I hope you're ready," the lady said.
"Ready?" Ness asked.
"Yes, you guys will be doing a show in our place," the man said.
"Why us, we're just kids," I said.
"Kids who decided to steal our costumes," the man said. They grabbed our hands and led us out of the room and through the center. I looked at Ness.
"What do we do?" I asked in our heads.
"Just go with it, for now, how bad could it be?" he responded. We soon got behind a stage with a lot of other people. My dad was even here, but he didn't pay us much mind. The woman walked away to deal with some backstage stuff. The man kneeled to be eye-level with us.
"You'll have to play the part," he said.
"What part?" I asked.
"Husband and wife and you guys are having dinner with the natives." He pointed to a few people dressing in Native American costumes.
"But their both boys," a random person said. I was going to agree until Ness stepped in.
"So," Ness said. I looked at him. The man crossed his hands.
"Are you guys a least together, you'll be doing some awkward stuff." Ness nodded. The person showed some skepticism. Ness then kissed my cheek. I blushed and became very lost. "Fair enough." The person walked away. The man looked at us.
"You're up."
"What do we do?" I asked.
"Roleplay." he pushed us onto the stage. We looked out and saw a lot of people. I cleared my throat and looked at Ness. We walked further onto the stage. I looked further into the crowd and saw Claus and Ninten with cameras and laughing. We looked forward to the stage and saw the natives. Ness walked to the head of the table.
"Wherefore art thou Romeo?" Ness said. I stepped forward.
"Wrong play," I whispered.
"Fuck." There were some laughs from the crowd. I cleared my throat.
"T-thank you for offering our acception." I mixed up. "Fuck, I mean, thanks for accepting our offer." The natives tilted their heads. More Pilgrims walked with trays of food. They shot glances at us.
"Thanksgiving," Ness introduced.
"Thanksgiving didn't exist back then."
"Fuck." We walked to the natives and gave them a plate of food.
"We may be killing each other by the hundreds, but maybe we could share thanks for one day," I said. Ness then handed them more food. I looked at him. "I think they have enough, uh, hun."
"They don't have enough, they need more," Ness said.
"Just because you're a fat bitch, doesn't mean they have to be."
"Well, you're the one who feeds me."
"Doesn't mean you have to eat it all."
"I ONLY EAT BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN ME THAT DICK SINCE BACK IN EUROPE!" I was shaken back a little as the laughs from the crowd became more powerful.
"Fine, I'll give you it after we eat, let's just not ruin our image in front of the natives," I said from one side of my mouth.
"Too late for that," one native said. We cleared out throat and sat next to each other. We "ate" the food and looked at them.
"So, you popping that pussy?" Ness said out of nowhere. I looked.
"Hun, that's very inappropriate to say at the dinner table." I nervously chuckled. I looked at the pilgrims who decided to go with the flow.
"Sorry about her-" I was cut off.
"Don't worry, we pop her pussy so much, surprised she doesn't have aids." the native said. The laughs in the crowd exploded. I chuckled a little realizing what we subconsciously decided to do. We constantly popped jokes will still trying to show what the history was. Towards the end of the show, Ness and I were needing to kiss. Why? I don't fucking know. I didn't even know until Ness randomly kissed my lips. I wasn't even given enough time to react until we needed to bow for the end of the show. Ness grabbed my hand and ran backstage. When we did he turned to me.
"Listen, Luke, I'm sorry." I placed my index finger on his mouth.
"Don't worry, maybe next time you kiss me, give me time to kiss back." I winked. Ness' eyes widened. The man from before walked over to us.
"You ruined our show, get out," he said angrily.
"Right," I said. We got back and changed into our normal clothes. We got to the door and Ness turned me around and hugged me.
"Luke?"
"Yea?"
"I made that note."
"I would make you one too, but I'd rather do this." I then kissed his cheek and broke the hug. I smirked and opened the door. Ninten and Claus were there.
"Wassa-B," Ninten said. I tilted my head. "You won't get it." Claus looked at me.
"Nice show out there lovebirds," Claus said.
"I hate you," I said. Ness walked forward. There was a silence for an uncomfortably long time.
"So, you saw each other naked?" Ninten said.
"Alright, I'm out," Ness said pushing past them.
"Yea, I'm with him," I say following him.
"Physically or sensually," Claus called out. I turned around and gave them the finger. They started to laugh together. I caught up with Ness.
"They totally love each other," Ness said.
"100%," I agreed. We exited the building and we looked at each other.
"So, you wanna take a walk?"
"Where?"
"Anywhere, we'll just see where we're going." At this time he held his hand up. I took hold of it.
"I'd like that, but how 'bout you stay with us to eat dinner?"
"If you don't have to cook, I'd rather not have fun with someone who's already tired." He gave me a wink.
"Don't worry, my grandpa is cooking with my mom." That's when the silence came over me. "Fuck, my grandpa."
"Nah, I ain't into old folks?"
"Screw you, you know what I mean."
"Now, I wouldn't mind that." I just ran with him in my hand, but soon he started to run with me. I looked to him as we ran and giggled. He copied me, but then I ran right into a street sign.
"Fuck." Ness stood over me. He was chuckling and held his hand out.
"You're such an idiot." His giggles healed me. I took hold of his hand and we started to walk. Ness, I am thankful for him. More than he could be for me. But we'd probably go back and forth saying who is more thankful for the other more. I'm not just thankful for him, I love him. I also love turkey. Maybe the turkey more, but I won't tell Ness.
