Washed Up Wonder (NessXLucas)

Family

A/N: One. Chapter. Left.
Lucas' POV:

I couldn't see anything. I must have blacked out after I had managed to save Ness from my Psi. I couldn't seem to move either.

Everything was aching and I could feel a painful stinging sensation across my cheeks.

Ness must have been so worried and concerned. I was preying that I hadn't hurt him... or anyone for that matter.

I could feel someone stroking my hair in comfort. Who ever it was must have been worried about me. I wanted to tell them or give them a sign that I was okay but I couldn't.

I could feel the same person grasp my hand tightly and eventually began to run their thumb across the back of my hand gently. I wanted to tell them that everything was going to be okay but I couldn't.

"Please... please wake up." I heard someone cry. It was Ness. He was crying. I wanted to tell that I love him with all of my heart and to reassure him that I was okay... but I couldn't.

"Lucas... please." Ness begged. I wanted to wake up, I really did. I didn't want Ness to be upset. Suddenly, I felt him hug me gently as his tears fell onto my arm.

All of a sudden, I heard someone sit down beside Ness.
"It'll be okay." The person reassured. It sounded like Ninten!
"B-But He-he-" Ness stammered.
"Ness, calm down. Lucas will be okay." Ninten said "and it seems that his Psi has calmed down too."

Ness didn't say anything. He just continued to hug me as he cried.

"Lucas, I-If you're listening... y-you are the strong person I-I know. You've inspired me to feel confident. You don't realize how much you've helped me... Lucas I-I love you." Ness cried.

Just let me wake up... please.

I heard Ninten sigh.
"Lucas... it's really obvious that Ness loves you. I can't stand to see my best friend upset like this. I know that you're strong enough Lucas! So please wake up... for Ness." He continued.

Please. I want to be with my friends. I want to be with my family. I don't want to be helpless. I don't want to be useless. I just want to be happy.

All of a sudden, I heard everyone gasp loudly. I could feel my eyes start to water and I couldn't stop it.

Not again... I don't like it when I cry. It hurts.

"Ninten! What's happening!?" Ness asked in panic.
"Don't worry Ness, it's nothing too major. Just don't touch his tears. They'll hurt you." Ninten warned.

They were talking about my tears.

"What's going on!? What's happening to my son!? Is he going to be okay!?" I heard my Dad shout.
"He'll be fine." Ninten reassured.

I still couldn't do anything. All I could do was listen to everyone worry about me.

All of a sudden, I felt Ness let go of my hand and Someone else took a gently hold of it.

"Son... I-I'm so sorry. I feel so guilty for leaving you. You don't understand how much I regret it. I-I thought that if I found Claus and brought him back home then... then It would make up for all of the times I had left you alone." I heard Dad admit sadly " I just wanted you to be happy. Especially after your mother's funeral... Duster told me what you did when you were alone. Lucas... everything is okay now, so please... wake up."

Without warning, tears began to spill uncontrollably and slowly rolled down my cheeks, leaving a painful stinging feeling across them.

Suddenly, I found it hard to breath. I tried gasping For breath but It didn't work I began to panic as it felt like I was drowning.
