Ness
I tried to open my eyes but failed. I always have trouble in the morning. I just really hate this time of day. But, today is New Year's Eve so, the others and I have got some things planned for this day. I've always loved New Year, but this is an extra special one for it's the dawn of a new decade. I finally found the guts and strength to get up. I stretch and go to my bathroom. I look in the mirror and look at the mess I call my face. I grabbed a toothbrush and looked at it. "Nah," I'll do it later. I placed it down and walked out. I was still in my pajamas, AKA nothing. I don't see the point in dressing into different clothes just to sleep. I sat on my bed looking out the window. "Ah, a day I can sleep in. I love winter break." That's when there was a knock at my door.
"Hun, Lucas is here," my mom called out.
"Fuck me," I said.
"Alright, I'll tell him that." I heard her footprints going away.
"What, NO, goddamn it." I got out once more and actually brushed my teeth and changed into my clothes. I walked down and saw Lucas on the couch chatting with Tracy. He looked at me and grey a cute smirk. Tracy must've seen the faint blush I had, Lucas is used to it, but Tracy has never seen it before. She giggled and stood up.
"Let's chat later Lucas," Tracy said walking into the kitchen. I walked down and sat where she was sitting.
"What were y'all talking 'bout?"
"New Year's resolutions," Lucas said. I made a sound that showed I was disgusted with that. "Just because you never achieve your resolution of losing weight doesn't mean I can't have any." I crossed my arms.
"Hey, I'm not even fat. It's just baby fat."
"Huh, that explains a lot."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lucas just giggled which only made me more confused and in need of answers. "Anyway, what resolutions will you fail this time?"
"To be braver, I plan on starting it directly at Midnight."
"Oof, that'll be a tough one. Especially for a pussy like you."
"If I'm a pussy, then I must me Oprah's cause man-" Lucas cut himself off with chuckling and making a hand motion of something large. I understood because I'm a dirty mofo, so I just laughed with him. "Now, are ya coming? We've been waiting for like ever."
"Really? But it's so early."
"Early? No, it's 3:00 p.m." My eyes widened and I ran into the kitchen to look at the digital clock on the microwave. Damn, he's right, it's currently 3:08 p.m. I slowly walked back to Lucas.
"I didn't know it was that late."
"Well, if you weren't so busy watching porn, you would've been to bed earlier." He stood up and walked to the door.
"I wasn't watching porn, I was watching Scarlet Johanson movies." Lucas looked back.
"And the difference is…?" I just rolled my eyes and followed him out of the house. He then led me through the town that was getting set up to drop the ball. The city center is holding this ball, but Lucas and I are headed toward the mall. We spend a lot of time in the mall, and I don't really know why. Maybe just because it has everything we really need. Lucas' dad, Duster, works at the Gamestop in the mall and allows us to use the testing room in the back. Is it allowed for us to do that, not even close, but do we do it, heck ya. There is literally a game that we haven't played, but completed is a different story. Ninten is the type of person to play a game for a few days and instantly gets tired of the game. He's nowhere close to beating Fire Emblem Three Houses, so we just play loads of different games. Little do they know we know a lot of people in those games, Lucas and I at least.
Lucas and I have been walking for a while and finally made it to the Gamestop where Ninten was playing a game called Super Smash Bros. Ultimate-on one of those demo systems setups-which is where Lucas and I met. Well, not exactly that one, but you get the point. Lucas and I are even in the games. I main him, and he mains me. The others call this "cute" but I just call it "playing with my best friend". Sometimes we play with ourselves, but most of the time we play with each other. We walked over to them, and Claus had just beaten Ninten.
"You suck Ninten," Claus said.
"No you suck," Ninten angrily said.
"No, you literally suck." Claus gave him a small wink. I looked at Lucas who nodded.
"No way," I blurted out. This spooked Ninten, but Claus had already seen us.
"Yup, last night," Claus smirked. Ninten's face reddened with embarrassment. He ran to the door and looked back at Lucas and me.
"YOU GUYS JUST GO SUCK EACH OTHER OFF!" he screamed in hilarious anger. Lucas stepped forward.
"Maybe," he called out.
"Yea, I-I mean, what?" I looked at Lucas who just shrugged. Ninten left the store to go cool off I assume. We turned back to Claus who was just laughing. He turned off the game.
"So, did you two hold your end up on the plan?"
"Don't worry, I've already secretly decorated the ball," Lucas said. Claus then looked at me. I just nervously laughed.
"I didn't set the cannons up." Claus sighed and walked in front of me. He then slapped my face.
"We only have 9 hours left, you better get that cannon set up," he screamed in my face.
"I bet the girls don't even have their cannon ready," I tried to protest.
"They do, for five hours now." I just sighed and walked out. Ninten ran back in passed me with a single pat on my back. Lucas soon joined my side with his hand behind his head.
"Don't worry 'bout the cannons, I figured you'd forget so I set 'em up."
"You did?"
"Yup, well, with dad's help. But yea, they're ready and rigged." I smiled and playfully nudged him.
"Thanks, puss." He gave me that cute giggle once more. We walked through the mall and found ourselves near an arcade. "You got some change?"
"Yup." With that simple answer, we walked into the arcade and started to play the games. We didn't play too many games, but we made sure to play them together. We got to a motorcycle game. I hopped on, expecting Lucas to go next, but instead he hopped on the back, holding my stomach. I looked back and questioned him.
"Well, if you want me off then I can."
"Wait, I didn't say that." He smirked and stayed on. He even seemed to tighten his grip on my body. I tried to hide the blush in the game. Today they have a special New Years map. It was a festival, much similar to the one that'll happen in a few hours. The race started normal and was also overall normal. Whenever there was a large jump or bump it got a little weird because it involved Lucas basically rubbing me, on accident of course. The race finished, and the bike vibrated. That one felt odd, well, more than odd, awkward. After that Lucas and I just relaxed at his house, playing more video games. After a while, we left to attend the parade before the dropping of the ball. We left despite the darkness in the sky. We walked carefully through the dark and entered the city center. The final preparations were in their final stages. Most of the floats had been finished, and they're just setting up the music. We were soon joined by Ninten, Claus, Ana, and Paula.
We all chose to wait here until the parade started. I looked into the sky. Despite the lights, I saw loads of stars. Lucas walked next to me and looked up as well. "The night sky is beautiful, ain't it?"
"Yea, the second most beautiful thing ever."
"Second? What's first?" I looked down at him and smirked. At this point, a loud boom showed that the parade was on. There wasn't much a first, just the normal parade boredom. But the main attraction was coming. The 2010 decade memorial. The first float had shows. There were shows like ICarly, Victorious, etc. The rest of the floats had things like this. Basically, a celebration of all things 2010s, AKA all of my childhood. All of my fondest memories, my dreams, but a life is like the parade, it must move forward and is also usually very boring. Finally, the ball started to move down. It's been a long while, but it was rather fun, seeing the things we grew up with. I even saw Lucas cry during it. I obviously needed to comfort him, because I am the best boy ever.
We all watched the ball go down. I started to feel something in my hand. I looked down and saw another hand. I followed the arm and saw Lucas, not paying any mind to me. I smiled and grabbed his hand back. We continued to watch the ball go down the long dark pole. 5...4...3...2...1 the ball landed all the way down. The second it did our cannons shot. The ones I was supposed to build shot confetti. The ones the girls set up shot fireworks. We watched in awe. Before I could look at Lucas, I felt something wet on my cheek. I looked to my left and saw Lucas blushing and smiling. Behind him were the girls that were clearly egging him on. I looked at them dead in their eyes and they just started whistling and looking away. I looked back at Lucas. "Lucas?"
"You know how I told you my New Year's Resolution?"
"Yea?"
"It was about that, the kiss that is. I wanted to be braver, but bravery cannot hide fear, I know that now." He was clearly afraid, but for sure brave. I don't think I'd be brave enough to do what he did.
"Well, are you too scared to go somewhere with me?"
"Where?"
"Well, there is this sunflower field. I was hoping you'd want to go together." I started to blush as well. He smiled and nodded.
"But are you brave enough?" I winked at him and I let go of his hand and walked away. What he doesn't know is that I see cameras everywhere, and now, I see one right in front of me. Happy new year to you all, this year, no, this decade has been wonderful. Full of buck-ass SJWs, but other than that, amazing. Lucas then walked up next to me shaking his head. "No not again Ness."
"Again?" He grabbed my hand and pulled me from the cameras.
"Let's just go, Deadpool wannabe."
