Claus was sitting on the couch, just watching tv. He was chilling, nothing on his mind, besides the microwave popcorn in the microwave. The bell rang for the popcorn so he jumped up and ran to it. He grabbed the popcorn, slightly burning himself, and grabbed a big metal bowl. He then poured all of the popcorn in the bowl. He smirked as he poured himself some cold Coca-cola. He looked in the freezer to make sure Lucas didn't steal his final ice cream sandwich. "Time for some fun," Claus said to himself. He grabbed his pop and his bowl of popcorn and walked back to the couch. He had the movie, Joker, paused and ready to watch. He found the remote on the ground and picked it up. He got comfortable and unpaused the movie.
"MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT FUCKING GOD DAMN IT, I HATE...AHHHH," Lucas screamed from upstairs. Claus just calmly placed the single piece of popcorn back into the bowl and paused the movie. He noticed how long he's been watching it. Only thirty seconds in. He sighed and looked in the direction of the stairs, that was a few feet behind him.
"Lucas, I swear to god if you're screaming at another ant, I will...oof, you don't even want to know," Claus says to himself. He regrettably walks up the stairs and into a small upstairs living room. There were two halls that led from this room, one to the left, and the other to the right. Both halls end with a bathroom, and each hall has three bedrooms. Lucas' room is the first room on the right in the left hall. Claus knocked on the door and soon after Lucas opened it.
"Claus, I-I need your help."
"No shit." Lucas walked back into his room and Claus followed. Lucas led him to the closet and looked at Claus as if he was supposed to know what he was looking for. "What? Something in your closet, Lucas, you're sixteen, nothing is in your closet."
"You don't know what I hear on a nightly basis…" Lucas looked into the closet and gave a small sigh. "But, that's not why I need your help."
"Well, I'm trying to watch Joker, so hurry up."
"How many times have you watched that movie?"
"103, but that's not why we're here, what do you need help with."
"You might need therapy for that...But I don't know what to wear." Claus never paid attention to what Lucas wears. He never does because he doesn't care what Lucas wears. But now that he mentions it Claus is noticing something odd about his clothing choices. He had a Hello Kitty baby blue shirt, with red shorts, crocs with socks, and a baseball cap that had the word "water" on it. Strangely enough, this isn't the weirdest thing he's worn before.
"Probably not what you're wearing now." Lucas looked down and nodded. "Where are you going anyway?"
"A party at Ness' house."
"Ah, the baseball boy, hmmm, lemme look in your closet." Claus walked into the closet. He looked around and placed his hand on something that instantly vibrated. Claus looked out of the closet and at Lucas. "Is that a dildo?"
"..."
"..."
"How do you know what a dildo feels like?"
"..."
"..."
"Ok." Claus continued his search, mainly to hide his embarrassed blush. He eventually found something. He took a shirt from the hanger and a pair of shorts from the dresser. The shirt was a simple light blue polo shirt and the shorts were jean-based. He placed it on the ground and found Lucas' normal shoes. "I don't know where you got crocs from, but well, don't, just don't." He walked over and took the hat off and Lucas' ice cream hair stuck back up. Claus chuckled. "Kinda like a bad erection." This earned him a light slap from Lucas. "Want me to cut it?" Lucas gave a faint nod and Claus led him to the closest bathroom. Claus had been training to be a barber, overall, Claus is known as the appearance guy. If someone wanted to look good, ask Claus. The school made a saying. "If you wanna look baus, as Claus." Claus put his hair down and noticed its length. He started to cut it, and after a while, his hair was rather normal length. Claus then put gel in his hands and rubbed through his hair randomly. Lucas looked into the mirror and smirked.
"I look just like an anime protagonist."
"Minus the talent," Claus said as he patted Lucas' shoulder. Lucas helped Claus clean up the hair.
"Won't mom and dad notice my hair?"
"Like they'll care, I dyed my hair orange and they didn't bother to ask about it, so it's just whatever."
"Thanks, Claus."
"By the way, why were you so worried about your look, you never are."
"Ninten said he has big plans for me at the part, and for me to look my best."
"Do you really trust him?"
"No, but it doesn't hurt anyone to dress up a bit."
"Fair enough, well, enjoy the party." Claus left, leaving Lucas to change into the clothes that Claus set up. After putting it on he texted Ninten, and he said he'll come to pick Lucas up. Lucas walked down and watched Joker with Claus until he heard the bell ring. He jumped up and gave a small salute to Claus and walked out with Ninten. Ninten looked at Claus and winked at him, only for Claus to respond by flicking him off.
"Oh love ya too," Ninten sarcastically said. He closed the door. They walked down the front yard and into Ninten's car. Ninten took a small whiff of his inhaler. He then pocketed it and looked to the right from the driver's seat. "We're going to pick up a few other people before going to the party." Lucas nodded Ninten started to car. Ninten eventually picked up Kumatora, Popo, and Toon Link.
"So Lucas, you have your first kiss yet?" Kumatora asked.
"No, why do you ask?" Kumatora looked at Ninten, who shook his head. She pouted back and crossed her arms.
"Guess I won't be telling you."
"I'm lost," Toon Link said looking between the triangle of Kumatora, Lucas, and Ninten.
"You're always lost," Popo said. Lucas turned back around and listened to the mix of the music with the arguments that inevitably sounded behind him. The mix of Why Don't We, and Toon Link screaming "I ain't a pussy, I'm a kitty" is rather strange, but Lucas seemed to like it. Soon enough the car stopped in front of a large house that seemed very bare from the frontal presentation. Everyone got out of the car and Kumatora, Toon Link, and Popo didn't hesitate to enter the house. Lucas stepped onto the grass that stood in front of the house and tilted his head looking at it all.
"Doesn't seem like a 'high school' party," Lucas said. Ninten soon joined his side and looked at a watch that Lucas swore to god he didn't have five seconds ago.
"Give it a few," he said as he looked at the watch. He then counted down from five and right as he got to one he snapped his fingers and pointed to an upstairs window. From this window shot a chair. It broke on impact with the ground. Then Kumatora popped her head into the hole in the window.
"Shit," she said. Lucas looked at Ninten.
"She always does that, come on." Ninten motioned for them to enter. Lucas followed Ninten into the house. The party was bland at first, but after a little while, the party started to boom. After a little while, Paula-the sort of organizer of the party-mentioned that they were going to play spin the bottle. Lucas was going to sit out of it before Ninten more or less forced him to play. Lucas sat down in a circle with an empty Bud Light bottle in between them. Lucas looked around at all who were playing. It was him, Ninten, Paula, Ness, Jeff, Inkling, Villager, Poo, Ana, and Kumatora. Paula looked around and placed her eyes on Lucas.
"You spin the bottle first Lukey," Paula said.
"Why do you call me that?"
"It's a cute name...well, you gonna spin the bottle?" Lucas looked at the bottle and then at the group. Who would he like to kiss most, then it kicked in. He was going to kiss someone. He didn't allow this stress to present itself so he just took hold of the bottle and spun without much hesitation. The bottle spun, and more worry came into Lucas. The bottle soon stopped and pointed toward Ness. Ness and Lucas shared a glance.
"Wait, I need to kiss boys too?" Ness asked.
"Yup, part of the rules," Inkling smirked, trying to hide her phone. Lucas rubbed the back of his neck and looked at Ness.
"You don't have too if you don't want to," Lucas innocently said.
"NO, HE MUST….Or else my ship won't sail," Ana said, with the second part being under her breath.
"What was that?" Lucas asked.
"N-nothing, come on Ness, kiss him." Lucas was in his head trying to think of ways to escape this situation. Should he ask to go to the bathroom then ditch out the window? Should he ask Kumatora to strip so that she'll cause a distraction? Strangely the latter is most likely. Before he could come up with anything he felt Ness' soft lips on his. The warmth he instantly felt made him melt into the kiss. Right when he tried to copy Ness' movement, Ness moved away. Their faces were still close.
"Sorry Lukey, if I surprised you a bit," Ness smirked.
"N-no, it's fine." Content with this answer, Ness stepped back to be on the opposite side of the circle from Lucas. He had a small blush on his face and Lucas too. He then suddenly felt hands on his shoulders, when he looked he saw Ninten smiling up a storm.
"Congrats on getting your first kiss," Ninten smiled.
"You bastard, you planned this all?" He chuckled.
"Guilty as charged, although the party was what sparked the plan. Thanks to Jeff we were able to spread the word."
"Ugh, I hate you all."
"We love you too," Ana smiled.
About thirty minutes later Ninten and Lucas were eating and drinking at the table. The food was simple, just some Chocolate chip cookies or brownies. The drink was fruit punch. Lucas grabbed a ladle when Ness walked over. "Lucas, could we talk?" Lucas nodded and looked at Ninten. He was midway through drinking his fruit punch. He didn't instantly stop drinking, he continued to drink. He lowered the cup and swallowed the punch. He stared at Lucas for a few seconds then walked away. Lucas rolled his eyes and looked at the bowl of punch.
"What do you need Ness?" Lucas asked as he picked up some punch with the ladle. He poured the punch into the solo cup and turned to Ness.
"Was that really your first kiss?"
"Mhmm."
"Oh…" Ness looked down and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "H-how was it?" Lucas sensed this nervousness and placed his hand on Ness' shoulder, only for him to tense up more. Lucas started to slightly massage his shoulder.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Just please, tell me how the kiss was?"
"It was one of the best things to happen to me, you a little self-conscious about your kisses?"
"Not necessarily." He closed his eyes and calmed from Lucas' small massages. Lucas then picked up the drink that he'd placed on the table. He took a sip from it and looked into Ness' violet eyes. When he lowered the cup and swallowed the punch he tilted his head.
"That's not why you came to talk to me in the first place, huh?"
"Mmm, yes and no." Ness turned around to look at Ana who put up two thumbs up. Ness turned back to Lucas. "I-, I-I mean Ana, wanted to know if you wanted to go on a date with her."
"I thought she was all about me and you getting together, not me and her?" Lucas crossed his arms.
"I forgot about that," Ness said underneath his breath.
"What'd you say?"
"N-nothing, just give her a shot, will ya?" Lucas shrugged.
"I don't see why not." Ness smiled in relief. A little bit later Lucas had exited the house into the backyard. There was a pool that took up half of the large backyard. The pool was built into the ground so it had the possibility to close, but it was open so Lucas shrugged and entered one of the few changing rooms that were placed next to the house. Lucas changed into a pair of black swim shorts. He placed his clothes in a small bag and put it in the drawer, that was in the corner. Lucas was able to lock the drawer to keep his clothes safe. Lucas walked out, looking at his shorts fixing a small inconsistency about it. Due to this, he crashed into Ness.
Lucas looked up and saw Ness was also in his swim shorts. They were a navy blue color. Ness turned around and crossed his arms. "S-sorry Ness didn't see you." He gave a small chuckle which made Lucas smile.
"You going in the pool?"
"Yup, it seems like you are too."
"Well…" Lucas started. He instantly ran to the pool. "Beat you there." Ness turned around and smiled at him.
"Bastard," he said jokingly. He jumped in the pool and they talked for a little while. Lucas then flipped to his back and looked at the dark sky. He closed his eyes and skidded on the surface of the pool. Ness smiled. "Is this all you do in the pool?"
"Yea, it's calming." Ness chuckled and went underwater. He swam right next to Lucas. He then popped up and placed his hands on Lucas' chest and stomach, then pushed him under. Lucas struggled, smacking Ness' face despite having his face underwater. After a few seconds, Ness let him up with an innocent smile. Lucas caught his breath and looked at Ness.
"Sorry, I just couldn't handle it." He laughed and Lucas growled. He jumped and pushed Ness underwater. He looked up and saw Ninten at the door with a cup of punch at his lips. He lowered the cup and swallowed the punch. That's when Ness smacked Lucas' face and Ninten just tilted his head. He just took another sip of the drink and walked back into the house closing the door. Lucas let Ness up and he instantly started to huff for air. He looked at Lucas who just shrugged. Ness then splashed him. He giggled and Lucas returned the splash. They then continued to with the splash fight. That's when the looked at the door and Ninten stood there again, but he stood with Kumatora and Ana. They were just looking, all with tilted heads. Ninten took a loud sip of his punch. He slapped his gums and walked back into the house. Ana casually brought out a phone and took a photo, the loud flash temporarily blinding the two boys. She and Kumatora then just walked back into the house. While still looking at the door Lucas splashed Ness.
They eventually started to get out when their fingers started to look like grandma's fingers. They didn't bother to change back into their normal clothes and just laid on the porch to dry via the air. After a while they dried they walked into the house, not bothering to grab their clothes. Lucas' stomach growled and a small smirk crept on Ness' face. "Come on, I have some special snacks in my room." They walked up the stairs. Ninten, Kumatora, and Ana stood at the table of punch and food.
"Why'd they walk up there half-naked?" Kumatora asked.
"Maybe we did a little more than gave Lucas his first kiss," Ninten said.
"You jealous because you and Claus have been together for a year and he won't let you get your rocks off?" Ana said with zero breathes in that sentence, causing her to gasp for air. Kumatora places a hand on her shoulder.
"Remember what we talked about, you need to breathe when you talk," Kumatora said. Ninten glares at Ana and takes one long sip of his punch. He lowered it, turned around, filled up his cup, turned back around, took another long sip, and turned away.
"I hate you, but man do I love this punch," Ninten walked away.
Ness told Lucas to wait in his room, but Lucas was getting impatient. He jumped off the bed and walked to a room. It looked like a parent's bedroom, but only to the size of the bed. He found Ness in the closet. He walked in it and saw that he had a bottle of Corona. He was struggling to open it. He didn't seem to be able to use the bottle opener. "Trying to get drunk or are you protecting yourself from the Coronavirus?" Ness jumped then turned around with a smile.
"Can't it be both?" Ness shrugged. Lucas walked forward and kneeled down. He took the bottle opener and seamlessly opened the bottle. Ness held a surprised face and Lucas just winked.
"Didn't know you were a drinker."
"I'm not, I just have a shot once every few months." Ness reached for a shot glass and scarfed down the shot. He stood up with a clap and walked away. He noticed Lucas wasn't following, so he backed up and saw him with the whole bottle in his hands. Lucas looked up at him. He then casually drank the entirety of the bottle. Ness pulled up his surprised face again and Lucas giggled.
A few hours passed and Ninten started to feel worried. He was drinking more of the punch when his phone rang. He pulled it out and saw it was Claus. He put the punch down and answered. "Hello love," Ninten smirked knowing the lovey-dovey talk annoys him. Claus didn't answer right away, he just sighed.
"For the last time, don-you know what, nevermind. Where's Lucas, he won't answer his phone," Claus said with worry tinting his voice.
"Aww, you're worried about him."
"Only 'cause our parents would kill me if I didn't keep track of him, so, where is he."
"I assume in Ness' room. They walked up there half-naked a few hours ago, and well, neither have been down here."
"Oh…" Claus then slightly moves the phone away from his face. "MOM, Right now he's getting his ass railed but a friend."
"Oh, tell him the family motto," Hinawa said.
"Mom, I won't."
"Just do it." Claus breathed in loudly.
"When you fuck it, you suck it, there, happy?"
"The hell?" Ninten said with such a high voice he surprised himself. Claus finally put the phone back to his face. "So, about the motto," Ninten said completely flirty.
"Don't even think about it."
"Come on. Ugh, fine, love ya."
"Yea, yea, yea, love you too." Claus then hung up and Ninten chuckled. He walked around and found his girl squad-Kumatora and Ana. They walked up the stairs and found Ness' room door opened. They peeked in cautiously, only to see they weren't there. Before they could think about it they heard Lucas' laughter followed close by Ness' voice.
"Oh yea, that was great," Ness' voice sounded like he was tired. Ninten looked at Ana and they giggled. They snuck to the door that was closed and slightly opened it. They looked in an unexpected scene. Ness and Lucas were looking at them, still half-naked, over a board of Monopoly. Lucas waved with a hiccup. Ness then rolled the dice and moved the racecar five spaces.
"Pay me 10 bucks,"
"Goddamn it, I just got out of-*hiccups*-bankruptcy," Ness said dizzily. Ninten and the girl squad just looked at them. They slowly backed away and closed the door. They looked at each other.
"I need more punch," Ninten said leading the way down the stairs.
The next morning rolled around and Ness struggled to wake up. He looked around and saw Lucas slightly ahead of him. He stumbled to get up, accidentally stepping on the Monopoly board. "Why'd we play Monopoly?" he asked himself. He shook his head and gagged, but kept down what was creeping up. He stumbled down to Lucas and gently shook him awake. Lucas turned around and eventually sat up. He rubbed his eyes and looked around. He saw a bucket and grabbed it. He threw up in the bucket that already had puke in it. On the bucket, there was a paper that had the number 9 on it. "That makes 10, I guess."
"Who won Monopoly?" Lucas asked.
"Dunno, but man my head hurts." Lucas laid back down and put his hand on his head with a tired groan.
"How much did we drink last night?"
"I dunno," Ness said, but he was interrupted by gagging. The door opened and Ninten stood there.
"'Bout time you guys woke up, you've been asleep for hours, we were worried," Ninten said.
"W-what time is it?" Lucas asked, still lying on his back.
"Noon, now come on." Ness crawled to Lucas and helped him stand up. They struggled to walk down the stairs, but when they did they found Ness and Lucas' family sitting at the dining table that was rather messy. Hinawa stood up and ran to Lucas. She noticed his tired eyes. She then looked at Ness and smirked.
"Did you live by the motto?" Hinawa asked.
"The motto?" Lucas asked. Hinawa looked back at Claus.
"Tell him."
"Mom, no." Claus crossed his arms. Flint then gently smacked the back of his head. Claus sighed and heard Ninten chuckle. "When you fuck it, you suck it." Ninten winked at him and he just rolled his eyes. Ness looked at Lucas, who looked confused.
"Why would I do that…" he then looked at Ness. "You think, You think we had sex."
"You didn't?" Hinawa asked.
"No, we were just playing some good 'ole drunk Monopoly," Ness chimed in. Hinawa looked at Claus, who looked at Ninten.
"Don't look at me, you were the one who said they had sex, I didn't," Ninten said smugly. Claus crossed his hands with a huff. Hinawa sighed and patted Lucas' bare shoulder.
"Come on, we should get home," Hinawa said. Lucas took his arm from behind Ness' head and walked toward the backdoor. He entered the changing room and grabbed his bag of clothes. He quickly walked back to the dining room and looked at Ness. He smiled and pulled him into a hug. Ness was surprised but he wrapped his arms around Lucas. They soon broke away the hug and Lucas winked. He then walked behind his parents and next to Claus. Before leaving Claus kissed Ninten's cheek, but once he got all lovey-dovey Claus flipped him off. Ninten giggled, he likes this side of him. Ninten turned to Ness who was blushing. Ninten smirked and walked to his side. Ness was so in his own mind that when Ninten spoke Ness jumped.
"Ness, can you explain something to me?" Ninten asked with a lewd smile on his face. Ness tilted his head.
"What do you mean?" Ness asked.
"You're blushing," Ninten sung.
"W-what?" Ninten felt around his face as if he could feel a blush.
"Was it Lucas, good 'ole Lukey?"
"Shut up, it's not him. It's, uhm, it's…" Ness looked down and Ninten walked to his side. He sat down and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I won't tell him, this is our little secret...And Ana's...And Kumatora's...and Toon Link's...and-"
"I get it," Ness interrupted. "Just don't tell them yet, I still need to think about it." Tracy and Ness' mom had been watching this unfold, they walked forward and kneeled in front of them. Ness looked at them.
"Hun, you should probably change," his mom patted his back. Ness nodded and walked toward the back door to grab his clothes from the changing room. Tracy looked at Ninten.
"So, you gonna help them get together," Tracy asked. Ninten looked around, making sure Ness wasn't around. He then nodded and whispered something into Tracy's ear. Tracy didn't seem all that surprised. "Kinda expected, Ana caught me up on pretty much anything. Just know, mom and I have got your back." Ninten looked at Ness' mom and she nodded.
Ness got out of the changing room and saw a small black thing on the ground. He kneeled down and picked it up. He realized it was a phone. He turned it around and turned it on. He saw the background of the lock screen. It was a group photo. There was Ninten, Claus, Ness, Lucas, Ana, Toon Link, Jeff, Poo, and Kumatora. This made Ness smile. The image had him and Lucas right next to each other, and seeing this he thought about the hug again, making him blush. He shook his head and tried various passwords, none of which worked. Ness walked in and was still focused on the phone. "Why do you have Lucas' phone?" Ninten asked. Ness looked up and tilted his head.
"How do you know it's his?"
"I go to their house literally every day to see Claus, of course I know it's his phone. Also, 42006 is the password."
"...His birthday…" Ness said as he put the password in. It worked. "Not very creative Lukey."
"Aww, you're calling him Lukey," Tracy teased.
"W-what, not I meant, I mean Lucas." He turned the phone off, thinking he should respect Lucas' privacy. Ninten left after he played video games with Ness for a little while. Ness' mom then took Ninten to yoga. Why was Ninten doing yoga...no one really knows, convenience to get him out of the house maybe? Ness looked at Lucas' phone again. He grabbed it and scratched the back of his neck. He turned the phone on, then off, then on, then off. He's done this many times.
"You know you want to," Tracy's voice suddenly came from nowhere. Ness looked around and still didn't see her. He gulped and shrugged. He turned the phone on once more and put the password in. He thought of what to do, then tapped on his contacts. He wanted to see if any of them had special nicknames to him. There were a few. Elf boy 1 and Elf boy 2 which was obvious Toon Link and Young Link, but Ness didn't bother to realize which was which. Then there was Bastard, which-with some studying-turned out to be Claus. There were some obvious ones like Kuma and Any. But one caught his eye. It wasn't the most creative name in the world, but one that was clear to what it was. It was Crush with two hearts on either side. Ness' thumb hovered over the contact. He closed his eyes and tapped on the contact. He then decided to call the contact. He put the phone on speaker and hovered it near his mouth. It rang a few times, then it picked up.
"Yellow," Tracy's voice came up.
"T-Tracy!?"
"That's my name, don't wear it out."
"Trace, you're close with Lucas?"
"You're an idiot, look at the goddamn number you called, I'm obviously not your Lukey's crush." Ness looked at the number the lied right under the name a realized that it was his number. "You left your phone in the kitchen sometime during the party. Oh and mom called saying you needed to fix the window upstairs so get on that." Tracy then hangs up.
"Damn you Kumatora." That's when the realization that Lucas' crush seemed to be him. He shook his head as if he didn't believe it. Ness moved to the text messages and went to the ones with this crush. This was when it was confirmed. The last text Ness sent to Lucas was saying "See ya at the party" and wouldn't you know it, that same text was the most recent text sent between them. Ness smiled and soon his door opened.
"FIX THE GODDAMN WINDOW!" Tracy yelled at the top of her lungs. She then slammed the door.
"Ok damn...where'd that come from?" Ness pocketed the phone and walked to the nearby guest bedroom. When he entered he saw the massive hole in the window. He shook his head and started to work. After a few hours, he was able to patch the hole with a temporary clear covering, it's meant to just last until an actual window repairman came over. He was also able to clean the whole house in that time. When he was finally done he collapsed on the bed. He groaned. That's when Lucas' phone rang. Ness took the phone out and saw that it was Bastard calling. He answered. "Yes?"
"Oh thank god, we've been looking for Lucas' phone for a while," Claus said.
"Yea he dropped it when he got his clothes."
"Oh, well-what, oh ok-Lucas just told me to tell you not to look at his gallery."
"...Now I want to see, but fine."
"Alright, we'll be there to get the phone in a bit." He then hung up the phone and Ness looked at the home. He eyed the gallery. Claus piqued his interest. What could go wrong? Ness tapped on the gallery icon and it pulled up. He saw the first picture. It was Lucas and Ness at the party. This was a little after the kiss they had. Lucas had his right arm behind Ness' head and rested his head on Ness' chest. He also slightly had his tongue out. His other hand was obviously taking the picture. Ness was smiling and had his eyes closed in a happy way. Ness' left hand was giving Lucas' resting head some classic bunny ears. But the thing that was catching his eye was the drawn heart over Ness' face. Ness smiled and Tracy suddenly appeared next to Ness on his bed.
"See, he does have a crush on you," Tracy suddenly said. He jumped and nearly dropped the phone.
"Jesus Christ, why are you so quiet?"
"It's BL, of course, I take all the precautions to make sure it goes through."
"BL?"
"Don't worry about it." Ness waited for a few and there was a ring at the front door. He hopped off the bed happily and answered the front door. Only to be disappointed to see Ninten. Ness crossed his arms. Ness' mom pushed past them to enter the house.
"What, disappointed it's not your Lukey?"
"My Lukey has better things to do-I mean, my Lucas-no I mean Lucas has better things to do," Ness struggled to say. Ninten chuckled and patted his back.
"Aw, you called him your Lukey." Ness rolled his eyes and shook through Ninten's hand. They walked to the dining table and Ness' mom started to cook for them. Ness and Ninten started to casually talk. When Ness finished making some steak she placed them in front of them. When Ness cut his steak the bell rang. Ness sighed and walked to the door. He ripped the door open.
"What?" Ness asked annoyed.
"Huh, don't want me here?" Lucas teased.
"What, n-no not that, it's just that-um-nevermind." Ness turned around and looked at his mom. She had an extra steak on a plate. "You wanna come eat?" Lucas smiled and nodded. He walked in and Ness pulled out a chair and Lucas sat in the chair.
"Very chivalrous," Lucas chuckled. Ness rubbed the back of his neck.
"I'll go get your phone." Ness ran upstairs to grab the phone. Before walking out of the room he turned the phone on. He looked at the picture of him and Lucas again. Ness smiled, then decided to do something. He went to the camera and took a selfie with his tongue out. He chuckled to himself and walked out. He turned the phone off and handed it to Lucas as he sat down in the chair. Lucas turned it on and searched through the tabs. He tapped on the gallery and saw the picture of Ness. He looked up at him and saw he was just eating the steak.
"SHIT," Ninten yelled, scaring both boys.
"The hell?" Lucas asked. Ninten looked around and saw both boys glaring at him. Ness' mom was even glaring at him.
"I bit my tongue."
"..."
"I'll just go sit on the couch." Ninten took the plate of food and sat on the couch. Ness shook his head and turned to the steak. He put a piece in his mouth.
"Ness?" Lucas asked. Ness looked up at him.
"Hm?" Ness hummed. Lucas turned the phone around and showed Ness the picture. Ness chuckled a little. "Handsome ain't I?" Lucas gave a small blush.
"How'd you know my password."
"Ninten told me." Lucas looked back at Ninten who stared at them with a piece of steak in his mouth. The steak fell on the plate.
"What?"
"You motherfucking-you told him my password?" Lucas asked. Ninten smacked his gums and stood up.
"It was nice seeing y'all, I'll be going home." Ninten then walked out of the house with the plate and ate. Ness' mom followed after him.
"Mom, where're you going?"
"He took my plate," she said. She then ran out and left Ness confused.
"It's just a plate." Ness shook his head and finished the steak. Lucas tossed the phone on the table and huffed in his chair. Ness looked at him as he stood to put the plate in the sink. He seemed sad. "Lucas?"
"..."
"Lukey?" Ness placed the plate back on the table and sat on the chair he moved next to Lucas.
"You saw the picture, huh? The one from the party?" Lucas asked. Ness looked down.
"Yea."
"..."
"What's wrong?" Lucas picked his head up and looked at Ness.
"What's wrong? You're not put off by the heart?" Ness chuckled
"Not at all, Lukey, a picture is-" The front door opened and they looked back at the door. Ninten walked in.
"I forgot my phone." He casually picked up his phone and ran back and closed the door. Ness shook his head and turned to Lucas.
"Listen, Lukey, I-" Ness was cut off again. This time by Lucas' phone. Lucas looked and saw that it was Ana. He picked it up.
"Yea?" Lucas asked.
"We need to talk, instead of a normal date, I need to give you information. Help you in a way," Ana said suspiciously.
"You're not part of the mafia, are you?"
"..."

"Shut up, and get to my house." Ana hung up. Lucas gave a small smirk and looked at Ness.
"Lukey? Can you meet me somewhere, there's something I need to tell you?" Ness asked. He had a blush, and he seemed to be talking with hesitation. Lucas tilted his head and seemed worried.
"Where?"
"You know that cliff you go to when you're stressed?"
"Yea."
"There, but when the stars are out." Lucas nodded and stood up. He looked at his phone and picked it up. He then looked back at Ness. He closed his eyes and kneeled next to him. Lucas decided to peck his cheek then left. Ness turned to look at him as he left. "Lukey?" Lucas turned his head around and had a proud smile. "Bring an empty bottle, will ya?" Lucas nodded and walked out.
Lucas was able to quickly get to Ana's house. When he did walk in he saw her with Kumatora and Ninten. "Man, you sure know how to get around," Lucas said. Ninten shrugged. Lucas sat down. He looked around the living room they were in, nothing all too special about it.
"So, Lucas," Ana started.
"Yea?"
"How long have you had a crush on him?" Lucas slammed his palm in his face. He let out a loud sigh and looked at Ninten.
"You're one big ass snitch, you know that?"
"I'm not a snitch, I'm an informer," Ninten said proudly.
"Right, whatever you call it." Ana chuckled and looked at Kumatora. They gave each other one of those plotting looks that only girls can give to each other. Ninten looked at Lucas and shrugged. He crawled over and leaned his mouth to his ear.
"I think they're plotting to kill us."
"You think everyone is trying to kill you."
"But I think they are for sure doing it." Ana and Kumatora giggled and nodded. They ran upstairs. Kumatora ran down and grabbed a knife from the kitchen. When running back upstairs she looked at Lucas and Ninten and winked. She then continued to run up the stairs.
"Ok, you may be on to something."
"See, told ya."
"Claus wants to have sex with you," Lucas casually drops as he stands up and walks to the kitchen. He grabbed a glass cup and turned his head. He saw Ninten almost frozen still, he chuckled and turned back to the sink. He turned on the water and started to fill his cup.
"You serious?" Ninten asked suddenly in Lucas' ears.
"Yea, he's just afraid you don't want to, and you make jokes for that reason." Lucas turns the sink off and turns around. He takes a sip as he saw Ninten walk to the door. He swallowed the water. "Where're you going?"
"I'll-um-I'll lose something, that's for sure." He closed the door and Lucas chuckled looking at the water.
"Horny bastard." He drank the water and placed it in the sink. When he did Ana grabbed him and Kumatora helped Ana drag Lucas upstairs. Lucas didn't fight, he knew this was going to happen. This isn't the first time they dragged him like this. They tossed Lucas onto the bed. He sighed and leaned his back on the wall. "What do you want?"
"We need to freshen you up for your date with Ness," Kumatora said.
"I don't have a date with him," Lucas said confused. Ana giggled. She pulled out her phone and handed it to him. The image on the phone was Ness' dining room. No one was in it Lucas gave her a confused look.
"Keep watching," Ana pushed on. Lucas rolled his eyes and looked back at the phone. Soon Ness' mom walked into view. She was just cleaning up the table, but the realization of what this was kicked in.
"You have a camera in his house?" Ana turned off the phone and nodded her head.
"We planned you two getting together, with Ninten's help of course. We tried to get Claus' help, but he said, and I quote 'I don't give seven shades of shit, I'm trying to watch Demon Slayer. I have priorities'. So yea, we've planned all of this," Kumatora explained.
"I honestly don't know what I expected." Ana walked to the closet and brought out a tuxedo. Kumatora ran into the bathroom and brought out some hair products. "What if I say no?"
"Then I'll stab you in the neck."
"I sadly don't think that's a joke." Lucas was forced to try on many clothes and hairstyles for hours. Ana and Kumatora were having the time of their lives. After a few hours passed they found the best-suited look for him. It was Lucas' normal clothes, it just adjusted Lucas' hair slightly. The fade was still a fade but looked more stylish.
"You ready to see your love?" Ana asked.
"He's not my-ugh-fine, yeas, I'm ready to see him. Just, take down all the cameras you put up?"
"Really? You don't want to see what Ness does in his free time?"
"..."
"But, I guess I'll take them down."
"Send me a video of what he does, then take them down for good."
"I knew you couldn't resist."
"Shut up." Lucas hopped off the bed and walked to the door.
"Lucas?" Kumatora asked. Lucas turned his head and saw both of them smiling a sweet smile. "Good luck." Lucas smiled and winked at them. He walked out of the room, then out of the house. As he walked to the cliff he thought about what the near future was going to give him. He kept asking himself why he wanted to talk with him anyway. Lucas looked up at the starry night sky.
Before he could realize he found himself at the foot of the cliff. He started to walk up the cliff and saw Ness sitting there, with his feet dangling off the edge. Lucas silently walked up to him and sat as he did. "Hey, Lukey," Ness said happily. "I was kinda afraid you wouldn't come."
"Of course I'd come," Lucas said. Ness turned his head.
"What's with the new 'do?"
"Ana and Kumatora." Ness nodded his head.
"Enough said." They both laughed and laid their backs on the ground. They both looked at the sky. "You got the bottle?"
"Shit, I knew I forgot something." Ness giggled.
"Don't worry, I knew you would, so I got it." Ness pulled out an empty Corona bottle and placed it in between them. When he put his hand down and felt Lucas' with his pinkie. Without saying anything, or even looking at him, he placed his entire hand on his. "You know, I like to remember the party, what we did at the party."
"The kiss?"
"Yea...I was wondering. I was wondering if you wanted to play spin the bottle with me, again." He turned his head and saw Lucas looking at him with an adorable smile. He chuckled and sat up. He turned his body to face Ness' who did the same. The empty bottle laid in between them, facing neither of them. "Wanna spin it Lukey, you seem to have good luck." He blushed, which only made Ness blush. Lucas leaned forward and took hold of the bottle. Lucas recognized the bottle. It was the one he opened for Ness. He saw the marks on the opening from when Ness was failing to open the bottle. He smiled because he knew Ness didn't choose this accidentally. He looked up into Ness' eyes and spun the bottle. Ness looked down and watched the bottle spin from Ness to the open air. Soon it stopped and looked at Ness.
"Oh my god, it landed on you, who would've thought," Lucas giggled. Ness soon followed.
"You're stupid," Ness chuckled.
"Well, which one of us can't open a bottle." Ness smiled and watched and Lucas stepped forward on his knees. Their knees were now touching.
"Well, I'm the one who knows how to kiss." Ness placed his left hand on Lucas' right cheek. He saw the blush. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you liked me."
"Well, I can say the same with you, inviting me up here, quite romantic." Ness chuckled.
"You know me," Ness proudly owned. He calmly allowed their noses to touch. Ness was inching closer, but then Lucas' phone broke the moment. Lucas took the phone out of his pocket and sighed. It was Ninten. Lucas looked at Ness, who seemed annoyed. Lucas answered the phone.
"What in Peach's ball crushing heels do you want?"
"We did it, we had sex," Ninten happily said. Lucas sighed and calmly tossed the phone off the side of the cliff. Nothing was said until the sound of the phone breaking could be heard.
"Ninten being a dick?"
"More like he's taking one." Ness laughed and grabbed both of Lucas' hands. They stared into each other's eyes. They collided their heads into each other and both grew a smile. "You know, Ness, you're kinda cute."
"Kinda?"
"Yea, I mean, you're no Jason Mamoa, or you know, me, but yea. A solid 7." Ness giggled which made Lucas blush more.
"Well, that's one thing we can agree on."
"There might be something else we can agree on."
"What's that?"
"I love you."
"You were right, we can agree." Ness slowly slammed his lips into Lucas' and slightly moved them. They kneeled there kissing for only a minute. They pulled away and looked at each other again. "Wanna go for another round of spin the bottle."
"Sure thing." The two of them played many rounds of spin the bottle, with each kiss lasting longer than the last. After a little bit, they realized it was getting too late so Ness vowed to walk Lucas home. Ness pinned Lucas against the door and kissed him again. Before they could finish, the door opened and both of them fell to the ground. Ness was above him, and as soon as he saw what happened he grew a lewd face.
"This happened sooner than I thought." Lucas rolled his eyes and saw Ninten behind them. Ness stood up and helped Lucas to his feet. They looked at Ninten.
"Hi," he simply said. He then pushed through to leave. The two of them sighed and saw Claus sitting on the couch, watching Joker like he always seems to be doing.
"You finally did it, huh?" Ness asked.
"Fuck off," Claus said as he flipped him off. Ness pecked Lucas' cheek and smiled.
"See ya tomorrow?"
"I'm counting on it," Lucas said. Ness patted his back and left the house. Lucas walked to the back of the couch and saw Claus eating a bowl of popcorn with an image of Ninten on the coffee table. He looked down at the image and smiled.
"Aw, you do love him."
"Shut your trap, gay boy," Claus said as he put a piece of popcorn in his mouth.
"You're gay too."
"Heh...damn right," Lucas smirked and patted his shoulder. He walked to the staircase behind the couch. "Hey, Lucas?" Lucas turned around to see Claus looking at him. "I love ya, you little gay boy." Lucas chuckled.
"I love ya too, you big bastard." Claus smiled and sat back down. Lucas walked up the stairs, entered his room, and closed his door.
