They're so in love and I have been ruminating for the past few hours about how to put it into words. But they are and I can feel it in the little details, the tiny intricacies of how they interact when they're alone. It may have been obvious before that there was something between them whenever they were together with friends around, but they keep their fronts up - sly smirks and cheeky remarks. But when it's just them two, they're so vulnerable and honest. There's a gentle push and pull between them; a rhythmic, easy tide. They just seemed so calm and peaceful as they spent their first few hours of the new year together. I don't know specifics, just this abstract feeling that they finally are on the same page: no hesitation or resistance, but an acceptance and understanding that they choose each other despite the challenges because it's worth it.

Let’s actually start the day before: Siebold arrived in the afternoon at their doorstep. Only Mrs. Fisher knew he was coming (since she invited him), so when Mr. Fisher opened the door, he was so surprised af. He greeted and hugged Siebold like he was his own son LMAO Siebold was caught off-guard, but he took it well. He’s not used to familial contact like that, but after meeting the Fishers the first time around, he’s come to expect Mr. Fisher’s bear hugs.

Mrs. Fisher and Siebold discussed final plans on Thanksgiving dinner, having communicated back and forth the past week or so on dishes to make it a cohesive but well-representative meal. They started preparing things that they could that night; Cheren showed up right when Siebold was taking care of the turkey. Cheren was shocked and asked why Siebold was here, but Siebold just took one look at him and was basically like, “I’m busy I’ll talk to you when you’re 10 feet away or when you get rid of that mustache”

Cheren played chess with his dad while Siebold and Mrs. Fisher swapped stories over some hot tea. Eventually, they all got together telling Siebold about the family members that were coming over.

Siebold slept on an air mattress in the living room since Cheren’s room is p small lol

Fast forward to today! Siebold woke up early, before the Fishers, and made a light breakfast for the four of them and continued prep work. Mrs. Fisher was the next to get up and turned on the TV so that they could see the Thanksgiving Parade. Eventually Mr. Fisher and Cheren got up. Mr. Fisher was astonished by brekkie even though it wasn’t anything fancy sdhfak Cheren checked up on a few things (reports on the preserve, updating twitter quickly and checking in on his friends) before helping his dad set up for the extra company they were going to have.

Jiaheng swung by after lunch time, bringing along some bao… and his gf, Moria (hahhahahah). He greeted Mrs. Fisher first and mentioned that his mother wanted to Skype with her later, so that happened at some point. Moria cracked up for 10 whole minutes at Cheren’s ‘stache asdyfihujl oh boy

FINALLY, THE EXTENDED FAMILY SHOWED UP. Grandma and Grandpa hugged and complimented Everett on how much he’s grown and helped save the world, and etc; Grandma asked why there was a catapillar growing on his face. Mr. Fisher and Grandpa defended him oh god… Uncle Richard and Aunt Audrey showed up with Cordelia and Willow. HOLY CRAP. CORDELIA IS 13. SHE’S A TEENAGER NOW. She’s still polite and soft-spoken, but she’s been getting into arguments with her mother at the moment (I don’t blame her). And Willow, 8, still hates Cheren’s guts :-)

Uncle Richard and Aunt Audrey came over with wine and sparkling cider, as well as a casserole. Uncle Richard was warmly greeted by Mr. Fisher, something he’s getting used to over the past couple of years since they’re getting along better. He wanted to talk to Cheren about how things are going since he heard that he was taking a year off from school due to the summer’s events, as well as how the Genesect preservation is going. Aunt Audrey was being awkward. Cordelia and Cheren were catching up pretty well; she then asked if she could watch “Queen of the Battle Tower” since her mom wouldn’t let her watch it at home adfihausl (Cheren gave her the wifi password so she could stream it on her phone). She then asked if his new boyfriend was here and he got all flustered. (Dork.)

Jiaheng and Moria hung out in the kitchen while Mrs. Fisher and Siebold finished up making dinner; Jia was setting up the skype video chat for the mothers so that they could talk while the time was still okay back home. Moria felt kinda useless so she asked if she could make/set up drinks for everyone and handled that.

FINALLY, DINNER WAS READY. Since Siebold gets Serious when he’s cooking, he didn’t pop out of the kitchen to say hello yet, SO IT WAS QUITE THE SURPRISE TO THE EXTENDED FAMILY THAT A TOP CHEF FROM KALOS WAS IN THE HOUSE COOKING PART OF THEIR DINNER. GRANDMA FISHER EVEN WHISTLED AND SLAPPED CHEREN ON THE BACK, HOLLERING, “LOOK AT YOU, MOVIN’ ON UP” SUDFYHiuJLkdf Aunt Audrey had this REALLY sour look on her face but Uncle Richard glared at her to not say anything. Honestly, I think Uncle Richard doesn’t care about Cheren’s personal life choices but he does care about not losing face again like last time (when Hikari was invited to July 4th dinner last year?). Cordelia turned beet red staring at him gurgles fhajs

Cheren formally introduced him to the family, and Siebold greeted everyone at the table, and thanked Mr. and Mrs. Fisher for having him. Mrs. Fisher introduced Jiaheng, who introduced his girlfriend, who said she’s also a friend of Cheren’s. Mr. Fisher said grace and asked Siebold to carve the turkey. The meal included an array of side dishes; some traditional, some with a French or Chinese twist. Mr. Fisher just about cried from his first bite.

Conversation at the table included asking about what everyone was up to, what they were thankful for, Grandma Fisher asking Siebold a bunch of questions, a debate about whether or not Cheren should just ditch the 'stache already (he was outnumbered immensely) and saying how everything tasted so good. Jiaheng revealed he might be catching a break, as he got a callback for this movie by a favorite director of his. Mrs. Fisher got concerned about whether or not this meant stunts, and he got in a fluster asking her not to tell his mom. Uncle Richard asked Cheren if he’s still interested in grad school, and mentioned that he should check the program at the private university in Black City as well. Moria ended up being the unofficial barista of the night - not that she minded it. Cordelia couldn’t stop blushing every time she looked at Siebold let alone is his direction.

Afterwards, Siebold brought out desserts, just in time for Touya and the rest of the ot4 to pop up: a pear and apple pie with red wine and rosemary, and pumpkin and gingersnap tiramisu. Showstoppers, and a way to win everyone’s heart at the table. Siebold gave credit where credit was due, mentioning that it was Mrs. Fisher’s idea to attempt the latter dessert’s flavor combo somehow.

While half of the family went to help wash dishes, Mr. Fisher, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Richard, Touya, and Cheren rushed to watch the start of the football game on TV dfjadklsfj After some coaxing, Mrs. Fisher insisted that Siebold go watch with them (“Trust me, the game isn’t as entertaining as watching the boys” “you’ve done so much already, you deserve to relax”). He was Not Disappointed and managed to snapchat some pics to the trio and Hikari dshfajksdlf Jiaheng and Moria said goodbye after helping out, mentioning that they were heading out for a late Friendsgiving.

Hmmm it’s still going on now, but I imagine that Cordelia will gather up the courage to ask Siebold for an autograph fjdsklfja Grandma will warn Everett “not to lose this one” and pinches Siebold’s face ahfyiaj I hope the team Mr. Fisher is rooting for is not gonna lose this year ;;;; but yeah, very busy, but a very good thanksgiving.

The Emotion // Borns (off the debut album ‘Dopamine’ out 10/16)

[cherebae]

The Genesect Preservation is a very important project to Cheren... It needs a name so dgjasdlf as a nod to the movie, it'll be named Absentia Nature Preservation. It is south of Entree Forest and north of Nimbasa City. To call it a ranch is an insult to both the Genesect and the people who have been involved with them since Project: TRACE. It also took a lot of convincing to get Sird, as well as the appropriate funders, to agree to this project after the subplots during the summer. Collectively, Sird and Cheren have spent their extra time observing and researching these pokemon. They're maintaining their mechanical part of the beings and further developing them to constantly improve. Hell, Cheren's academic and career path - studying bioengineering and physics - was heavily influenced by the Genesect. Now that it's publicly known that these pokemon exist once more, it makes it more important to Cheren to protect them, as well as develop sufficient knowledge base for the pokedex and other sources of academia. Some of the main research he did in between subplots were on their original habitat. One of the reasons why they chose the location was because of the natural growing Panna Lotus in the area. A balance of protecting the natural wildlife and supplementing with additional plants and adding proper security measures had to be carefully planned out. There was also the issue of making sure that Sird could still have access to observe them, help maintain them, and continue developing the cartridges they were working on before. So guess how many grunts are working at the preserve hahahaahah (enough to allow her to get in when she needs to but few enough that should something happen..... mrr) Originally, Cheren managed to get the rest of the OT4 to help out. Currently, he's been asking for Bianca's help on collecting the needed data for the pokedex and to record observations in the afternoon/evening while he is in class and gym. I imagine he's also asked a lot of help from Lenora since the summer to learn more about the past history of Genesect. This might as well be his dissertation or what have you when he returns to school because he has more than enough info honestly dfhajslkjd

[cherebae]

Some reiterations on current Cheren looksmrrrrrrr

Tattoos Infinity sign on his right collarbone He’ll get another tattoo after grad school

Piercings Right ear: Lobe, Daith Left ear: Rook He’ll let them close up after grad school

He keeps his hair short since post-BW2 plot. It’s just unkempt to keep it long and his more fashionable friends disapproved of it, so. His hair is styled as such that his forehead is more or less covered. He hasn’t dyed his hair in a while, but his go-to color would be brown, pfft. Don’t make him go blond again (it makes him look more White than Asian somehow). Nowadays, he doesn’t let it grow longer than BW length.

He’s almost always clean-shaven. If he ever has any stubble, that’s because he’s been working too hard on a new project.

Up until summer, he was back to glasses. He missed wearing them and it felt more like him, pfft. Now that he’s training with Alder again, he’s been wearing contacts more - it’s just better for being so active. He still has some niiiice pairs of glasses, tho.

Runner’s legs for daaaaaaaays man when Alder’s done with him I dunno what Cheren’s build will be He’s just a lanky tall nerd to me

This keeps on changing ugh

19/24: Cheren and Hikari go to Kalos so that he can do some research. They end up meeting Green, whom Hikari begins dating. Essentially, Green introduces Cheren and Siebold to each other so that he could spend more time with Hikari, but look what happened. They briefly hook up, but Cheren kind of freaks out because he just can’t do This, but they end on good terms. Cheren goes back to Unova in the spring, but before summer ends, he visits Siebold to settle something and they agree to stay friends. 20/25: Jiaheng moves in with Cheren, causes all hell to break loose while also helping his mother's friend's son (or ""cousin"") in a way he doesn’t expect. Lots of talks about Feelings with multiple friends ensue. On New Years, Cheren and Siebold start dating. HOOPA PLOT HAPPENS. Cheren loses Accel and gets him back, then with the help of Touya finds the Genesect Army. The Genesect Reservation Project is launched. Cheren attempts to help Hikari with Darkrai and ends up having to get her back. Meanwhile, Siebold confronts Malva, battles her and wins, but ends up beaten up and in the hospital during her escape. Cheren, Touya, and N end up in search of Lugia and getting the rest of the crew back from Hoopa World. It all ends when they both participate in a final plan to seal off Hoopa. 21/26: Cheren takes a year off from college, a decision he had a difficult time making. After some recuperation time with Siebold in Kalos, he returns to complete the Genesect Reservation Project and resume his duties as gym leader and trainer school teacher. Siebold continues his appearances on cooking shows, increasing his popularity as a celebrity chef. Eventually, he gets a new co-worker at the league, Serena. 22/27: Cheren receives his Bachelors in Pokeology and Bioengineering. Siebold gets a new boss at the Pokemon League!!!!!!!!!!!! Near the end of the year, Siebold starts putting his plans for opening his own restaurant into motion. 23/28: Cheren starts graduate school. Siebold’s restaurant is in the works. 24/29: Things start getting really Rocky. Cheren gets really busy with grad school, and Siebold’s restaurant is taking off. They have less time with each other, and the distance is starting to put strain on their relationship. The next time they see each other person, they decide to break up on mutual terms (but it still hurts). It allows them to focus on their dreams, though. 25/30: Cheren buys a condo in Vermillion (to make it easier to meet with Sird about the Genesect). Siebold meets his first love, Caterina Gaumont, again. They promised that if they met again and they weren’t seeing anyone, they would date again - so they follow through. 26/31: By this time, Jiaheng's acting career in Unova has taken off, and he is getting more opportunities. At one point, he ends up breaking up with Cheren's friend and former co-worker, Moria and moves back into his apartment. So... Weird stuff happens at one point, and then never talked about again. 27/32: Cheren receives his PhD in Bioengineering in Opelucid. Siebold finds out that Caterina is pregnant, and they’re pressured by her parents into getting married. Cheren ends up attending, to his surprise (Touya goes with him for support). Siebold and Caterina’s daughter, Marielle Louise, is born. 28/33: Cheren begins his post-doctoral research on man-made pokemon. 29/34: Cheren finishes his post-doctoral research, gets promoted from Trainer School teacher to supervisor, but keeps his job as gym leader. Meanwhile, Siebold and Caterina’s marriage begins deteriorating beyond repair. 30/35: Cheren becomes an assistant professor at a private university in Black City, where he meets Eleanor and Tobias. He begins having a physical relationship with Tobias, that eventually turns into something a little serious. Siebold wins a prestigious culinary award, which is pretty cool, but… Due to his neglect of family life for his work and her possible cheating, Caterina asks for a divorce. She gets full custody of Marielle. 31/36: Nothing significant still doesn't happen to either of them at this year I dunno why 32/37: Things are rather steady for Cheren, but he starts thinking about wanting a family. Tobias is not into that idea. Cheren walks out on Tobias because he does not want to settle down or have a kid. He ends up staying at Touya’s for a couple of weeks for support. Ends up having a seizure from a benign brain tumor, landing him in the hospital. Tobias tries to clear things up with Cheren, but just makes things worse. They never see each other after that. Siebold, however, finds out about what happened and flies all the way to Unova to see him. When Cheren returns back to work, Eleanor supports him and they become closer this year. 33/38: Cheren and Eleanor work on a joint research project all year, and eventually get their work published. Eleanor also happens to be having problems with her marriage, so they kind of have a complicated relationship. After they celebrate the publication, they finally talk about it, and agree that they should just be friends. They spend less time with each other - Cheren works on his personal life and addressing his hopes of becoming a father, and Eleanor fixes things with her husband. 34/39: Cheren and Siebold start getting to know each other again. 35/40: Emery is born! Siebold comes to visit again to meet the baby. They start seeing each other more often. 36/41: Cheren gets tenure as an associate professor, and leads a new research facility at the new Aspertia campus.

It’s only for a semester. 38/43: Siebold plans out his second restaurant, to open in Nimbasa. 39/44: Marielle begins her Pokemon journey. Siebold proposes to Cheren at the grand opening of his second restaurant. 40/45: Marielle finally challenges the Kalos League (mainly to kick her dad’s butt). After defeating them, she challenges Cheren to a gym match and wins. Cheren encourages her to challenge the rest of the Unova League, and to also talk to her dad. (She also meets Emery and that itself is a qt thing.) Some time in between summer and fall, Cheren and Siebold get married, and Siebold adopts Emery.
