Tough

I feel I need to take a few to talk. I wrote this with zero preplanning what so ever, which is new for me. I was hoping for more of a happy story, but since I didn't plan it out, it ended up kinda...I dunno, rough. What I mean is, there's a part in the story (You'll know when you get to it) that can be a little tough to read. Take this as a small disclaimer, and enjoy. :)

Lucas stands in front of the rather large and loud house. He is thinking about entering the house, but then a toilet gets thrown out of the window. Lucas can't help but just stare at the falling toilet. "They hell?" he asks himself. The person who somehow tossed the toilet out of the window stands at the broken window. Lucas doesn't recognize him.

"Ah shit, not again," he says casually.

"...Again!?" Seeing this toilet fly out of the window makes Lucas's decision clear. Lucas starts to walk away, but then the door opens and someone calls Lucas's name. Lucas sighs, knowing who it is. He turns to see his brother, Claus, standing in the doorway. Claus smirks and runs over. He grabs Lucas's arm and forces him toward the door. "Why do I have to be here?" Lucas whines. Claus stops at the doorway. He looks at the toilet.

"Oh, don't mind the falling toilets, just watch your head," Claus says. Claus hears Lucas's silence, so he turns his head toward Lucas.

"I'm not sure what type of weather you be in, but raining toilets ain't normal." Claus shrugs and forces Lucas into the house. Lucas groans but seems to calm slightly hearing faint music. He looks around and sees that most people are pretty normal. There are people drinking alcohol, but they all seem to be responsible with it.

"Popo can go a little overboard so just ignore him." Claus walks forward, leaving Lucas to himself. Lucas doesn't know what to do, so he decides to simply walk to the side. He sees a large bowl of fruit punch and some red solo cups. He shakes his head as he pours some fruit punch into his cup. He sips some before seeing someone walking to his side to get himself some punch. Lucas tries to catch a better look at him, but when he does he sees that the boy is already looking at him.

"H-hey," Lucas nervously says.

"Wassup," he says. He drinks some punch. Lucas drinks some of his punch, trying to think of something to say.

"Well, name's Lucas," Lucas says, extending his left arm. The boy grins. He grabs Lucas's hand.

"Ness," he says as they shake their hands. They let go of each other. Lucas looks around at the party. Ness can see he's bored, and he can't blame him. Ness is bored himself. Ness looks down at the solo cup of fruit punch. He taps the top of the cup as he thinks. An idea pops into his head. Ness looks up at Lucas, who looks like he can fall asleep at any time. "Lucas?" Lucas looks at him.

"Yup?"

"Wanna make this party a little more lively?"

"How?" Lucas asks, fully turning to him. Ness can now tell he's got Lucas's attention. He knows that this is his chance to show him the truth. He knows this is the best night to do it. Ness smirks.

"Stay here, I need to set things up." Ness runs off but spills some punch. Lucas chuckles to himself.

"I wish I had his excitement." He puts the cup on the table and grabs two sheets of the nearby paper towel roll. He kneels down and cleans up the spilled punch. He balls up the wet sheet and tries to throw it into a small bucket being used as a garbage can, but misses horribly. "Dammit," he groans. He walks forward to put it inside directly. He turns around to see Ness happily walking back. Lucas is able to make it to his cup of fruit punch before Ness makes it back to the table. "Already?" Ness nods.
