Not Young Anymore(Ness x Lucas)

Petals in Your Head

Ness's Pov

"You really are clueless aren't you?" Claus asked with a very arrogant expression on his face. I looked at him with a very sarcastic face and said, "No. I just so happen to know very little about Lucas's past." He gave me a death glare and I rolled my eyes. Geez . It's like he's the police expect, even more rude. "I'm surprised he hasn't told you," he said with a smirk tainting his face.

"Well somethings I don't feel comfortable asking. Considering he shows a lot of trauma because of it."

"That shouldn't stop you from asking."

I turned to him.

"Why is that?"

He sighed

"Well...a partners past will reveal things you never knew about them. It could also get you closer to each other. It causes the other partner to truly let their feelings out and be comfortable around you. That's why."

I took that into consideration. He has a point though. Maybe I should ask Lucas about his past. Hopefully he'll tell me.

Suddenly, there was a call. A high pitched call that was seeking out Claus's name. Me and Claus turned towards the sound. There was doubt that the scream was coming from Lucas.

We raced through the flowers, letting our instinct guide us to him. We found hi in that same empty patch we were before. And there, in front of him was a beautiful lady. Lucas stared at her clearly traumatized. I looked up and Claus and asked, "Hey who is..." My voice had trailed off once I realized he looked the same way. Claus got closer to Lucas and whispered, "Mom?"

Oh...no.

The woman gave a big grin and said, "Look at you two. You've grown quit a bit." Claus's eyes got wider and Lucas's filled with tears. Just then she turned around and said, "My how much I've missed. Hopefully you could forgive me for dropping in like this. All I wanted to do was to see you two."

Not wanting to disturb the three, I inched backwards towards the sunflowers and hide behind them. This wasn't my fight nor was it something I should interrupt. This their own problems. I mustn't inter fear.

I looked back only to find Ninten and Bonnie staring the the sunflowers. I jumped a bit. "Scared ya didn't I?" He asked, his voice remained very low. I shrugged my shoulders and said in a low voice, "Not really." He giggled a little bit and peaked through the sunflowers to see what was going on. Bonnie licked my hand, wanting me to pet her.  I did as the dog wanted and turned to Ninten. "Looks like whatever they were looking at before is gone," he said. I turned to peak through the flowers. Sure enough, the lady was gone.

Me and Ninten slowly walked out. And looked at the two twins in front of us. Lucas had tears streaming down his soft face and Claus was looking down at his feet. His hair covered his expressionless face. Ninten bit his lip and looked at me. I looked back towards him clearly confused.

"Let's go home," we heard Claus say, his tone begging lifeless. He began to walk through the flowers towards the direction we might've came. Lucas grabbed my arm and continue to weep. I patted his head and began to follow Claus. Ninten went after me.

~~*Time Skip*~~

"Ness?" I heard Lucas say as we walked through the streets of Onett. I turned toward him and said "Yes?"

"Can I come over to your house."

I bit my lip

"Sure but my annoying sister will be there plus my mom."

"I can handle."

"Are you sure?"

He gave a soft smile.

"Yes."

Ninten rolled his eyes yes and said, "I'll be with Claus...I suppose. Have fun you two." Me and Lucas smiled as we walked off. And with that, we left Ninten and Claus...alone.

Claus's Pov

My head was filled with so many thoughts yet...little emotion. I couldn't think straight((probably cause he's gay)). My vision blurred in my good eye and I was begging to get dizzy. Why did she appear? Was she really there? Was it in my heart? No then Lucas wouldn't have seen it. Then...was it a ghost? My head feels like it has tons of flowers in it. Why? I'm freaking out. I need some answers.

With those thoughts in my head I began to shake. Ninten took note of this and placed his hand on my shoulder. I turned to face the shorter boy. He smiled and said, "Let's get you home." I nodded as a reply and with that, we continued to walk home.

We talked very little as we walked. All he really did was ask simple questions like 'are you hungry' and such. He also pet Bonnie from time to time. I appreciate the fact that he respects my privacy. That's sweet of him. Almost to sweet. It almost felt like he wanted to ask me. Well...it can't be helped.

I unlocked the door to the house and Bonnie went to her bed. I closed the door and sat on the couch, Ninten sitting beside me.

"Do you want to watch TV?" He asked in a very polite tone. I looked and him and slowly nodded. He smiled and turned on the TV. Supernatural was on. I stared at the TV blankly, not bothering to pay attention to the show. I laid on my back and sighed. That's when I felt something heavy on my stomach.

I lifted my head, expecting Bonnie to be there. Instead, I found a Ninten who was starring at me with concerned eyes. My face heated as I looked into his brown, intriguing eyes.

"Mind telling me what's up?" He asked softly. I laid my head back down and sighed. "The woman standing in front of me and Lucas was my mom. She was a nice person. But...she died due to a drago who tried to attack us. She told us to flee and...we did. Now, seeing her after a-all this time is just...t-traumatizing," I stated. I noticed that I had been pausing, stuttering, and shaking. He then said, "Oh...I'm sorry." It was then that felt something weird.

Ninten had planted a kiss...on my lips.
