Didn't work. :/

I sees it. :3
It was about noon, and Lucas had finished his studies for the day, so he decided to head into town. Despite his mother being extremely protective over him, he was able to go finally, only if he took the carriage and had one of the workers take him there. He sighed, but wasn't bothered too much. He could sneak out of the worker's sight easily, since it was an older man after all, and go find his good friend, Wesley. -
Wesley was taking a nap in a dirty alley, a half eaten biscuit still in his hand. He had stolen it from the bakery earlier that morning. It was chilly and the wind brushed easily through his dirty tattered clothing and gently nipped at his feet. The sleep was unpleasant, but at least it was peaceful enough.
-
"Alright, son, here we ar-" Lucas had jumped out of the carriage before the man could even notice, and ran down the street. He looked a bit out of place, at least in this district. It was a very poor area. He looked down the alley he usually could find the other boy, sadly smiling when he reach him. He had brought a knapsack with some food and even some clothes he didn't need to bring to the other. "Wesley, it's me. Are you awake?"
-
Wesley woke up easily when he heard Lucas' voice he yawned loudly and stood up, stretching. He looked over and saw him. "Hey, Lucas," he said, smiling at the sight of his friend.
-
"Are you alright?" Lucas couldn't help worrying so much. Especially since not even too far away he lived such a privileged life, while Wesley had things so hard. He wanted to have his friend come and live at his place, but his mother was so paranoid and unaccepting. If his dad would come back from his world trips, though, it might just be able to happen.
-
Wesley nodded. "Yeah, I'm good." he took a bite of the half eaten biscuit he had been snacking on earlier. "I managed to get this this morning, so I'm feeling pretty proud of myself." Wesley laughed lightly. Wesley tried to act like things were good whenever Lucas was there, because he knew how much he worried.
-
Lucas chuckled, kneeling down to sit with him. "I see. That's good...but it's cold out here..." He opened the sack and pulled out some stuff. "It's not much, but I brought you some gloves and things to keep warm since it's getting so cold. Oh and some of the fruit from the garden." He smiled softly, his expression filled with thought. "I think my dad will be back for winter. I think I can convince him to let you stay!"
-
Wesley grabbed an apple and bit into it hungrily. It was absolutely delicious to his starving stomach. "That would be nice. Gosh, to sleep in an actual bed, inside an actual house, no, mansion." Wesley sighed wistfully. "Just one night in a bed would be heaven but to sleep in one every night? I'd have to make sure I haven't actually died and gone to heaven." Wesley chuckled, smiling at Lucas.
-
He felt a twinge in his heart, almost like guilt, for the other. It was terrible and unfair how his friend had it, no family and no place to live. "You deserve it, Wesley. No one deserves to be out starving to death and with no home, especially not someone as wonderful as you." Without even noticing, tears welled up and started to fall from the blonde male's eyes.
-
"Aww, don't cry, Lucas," Wesley said, wiping the tears away. "It's not like it bothers me much. This is the only life I've ever known. And I've gotten used to it."
-
"You should have to, though." He looked back up to him. "I want you to live at the mansion. It's so lonely and empty there. If you came everything would be more fun and just plain better..." Sniffling and remembering something he put in the bag, he smiled softly and took it out. "I've been learning some card tricks too. I'll have to teach you sometime."
-
*shouldn't have to xP
-
Wesley smiled. "Really? Show me."
-
Lucas smiled and shuffled the cards. "Okay so...pick any card I'll make it levitate from my hand."
