Final Graduation

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! As of three days ago, I am officially a high school graduate. No more pesky school getting in the way, although I do have plans of getting a job so maybe that will get in the way but as of now, I don't need to worry about that. I just wanted to take some time to thank you all. You guys simply reading my stories gives me motivation to write more. Despite the past fuckery, which resulted in me not being able to have a proper celebration for the those years of school, you guys kept my head up. You guys made me feel like I was writing for a reason, the reason of entertaining at least a few of you. I've been writing since I came out to my friends and family, which was a month before Ultimate was released, and one year later I started posting on here. And now here we are....you guys essentially helped me realize who I am. I'm a writer. So I just want to thank you guys. It really does mean the world to me that you take time out of your day to read my stories. Thank you, and hopefully this will be a good one with a little surprise after the story.

Lucas was sitting at the dinner table, thinking. It was almost time. He was 17 and this was his last day of school. He wasn't planning on going to college or anything else in the further future. He was perfectly fine working at places like McKirby, Walmar-io, and Zelda Osco. He didn't need this high-paying job to be happy. Would it be convenient? Of course, it would. But convenience and happiness were never intertwined. Lucas knew that much. High School was a rocky road for him. It was a road of discovery. A road of betrayal. A road....that was at its end.

Graduation.

The word gave Lucas chills. He couldn't believe he made it. He couldn't believe his childhood was over. Adulthood was about to start. But he knew he wasn't alone. He had his dad, his mom, and his little doggy. But mainly, he had his brother, along with his crush. Not to mention the rest of the aptly named "PK Boys." A group of kids who were no longer kids. A group of adults. Friends. Lucas's protection squad, as Lucas's crush, liked to nickname them. It was an appropriate name. Lucas needed a lot of protection. Lucas was timid. He wasn't shy or depressed, or any of that. He was just timid. He wasn't huge on talking or being loud, not because he felt uncomfortable when doing so, just because he felt it was pointless. When he wanted to talk, he would talk, and others would listen.

Lucas wasn't alone at the table for long. He was soon joined by Claus, his twin brother, and bestest friend in the whole wide world. Claus sat in the chair adjacent to Lucas, kicking his feet up onto the table. "What're you sulking about this time?"

"Why you're such a dick?"

"It's my defining trait, Lulu. If I'm not the douchey older brother, am I really an older brother?" Lucas had a small smile as he rolled his head.

"Fucking dick."

"Yeah, whatever. But seriously, what's on your mind?" Lucas looked intently at Claus.

"W-we're going to be adults."

"Yeah. You excited?"

"I-I'm not sure. It's kinda scary."

"Being an adult?"

"Mhm."

"Why?"

"I don't know. It's just a lot of responsibility. Like bills and taxes, and other adulting stuff." Claus lowered his feet from the table back down to the floor. He knew this was a serious matter. He knew Lucas was truly feeling scared. It wasn't just a ruse.

"Lucas, you're the one person in our group who is the most capable of being a responsible adult. You're responsible, you're rational, you're fun, you just all around have a great head on your shoulders. Imagine TL as an adult." Lucas giggled at the thought. "But even more, imagine Villa."
