The Timid Mute

Noticing the new visitor, Kouki flushed and picked up his dry erase board and quickly wrote down his greeting, giving a shy smile. [H-hello. My name is Kouki. Nice to meet you.]

[platiina-deactivated20130729]

You’re very much welcome Dia. -She opened her arms to him, for a moment she lowered them in thought that he’d probably not like a hug..but she lifted them again. Once she started something she does not quit.- You are very dear to me, despite the gifts I believe friendship is the greatest one anyone should receive. And that is exactly what you gave to me, so I shall too give you it.

Clinging to his beret in happiness, Kouki watched Platina as she lifted her arms up, only to put them right back down. His eyebrows furrowed a bit and he tilted his head in mild confusion. What was Platina doing? Did she...did she want...a hug? He watched her closely, watching to see what she would do. But she didn't make any movement to come towards him. 

So, Kouki went ahead and did what Platina seemed to want to do. He wrapped his arms around the female, hugging her tightly. He nodded his head in agreement at what Platina said, unable to actually write on his board. But somehow, he had a feeling that he didn't need to write down a message for his friend to understand how he felt at the moment.

"I see...I'm sorry I asked. Please don't be sad Kouki."

Smiling sadly, Kouki just waved his hand in dismissal. It wasn’t like Zeno knew about why reasons or that it was a touchy subject to him. No one did, since he didn’t like talking about it. So, he didn’t fault him in his lack of knowledge. 

[It’s alright. You didn’t know. There’s no need to be sorry. You were just asking a question.] Giving a shrug, Kouki smiled to try and get himself to stop being so sad. Now was not the time to be sad.

-Inside the blue box held a black and white checkered book, but not just any book. It was a ‘Recipes from the finest of Unova’ Cookbook! Beside the giant book lay a smaller box full of little chocolate cookies in the shapes of the Unova starters and to top it all off a little green beret with a Turtwig sewn in with his initials K.D on the back.- I had ordered the finest things i knew you’d enjoy most, i had them all created just for you, minus the book..but I myself, created the Beret for you..see? -she wiggle some of her fingers which were covered in bandages-

[koukicookies-blog]

Looking at all the contents, Kouki reached inside to pull everything out. He picked up the recipe book first, a smile on his face. While he wasn't much of a cook, he did love to eat. A lot. So, maybe he could pick up some cooking and try his hand at some food. Especially if it was food from Unova. Next, he pulled out the box of chocolates, which made him smile more. Before he could even help himself, he opened the box and looked at one of the pieces before popping it into his mouth. A happy hum left his mouth and he hopped up and down several times. 

When he heard Platina telling him about the gifts, Kouki gazed down to look at the beret, which made him smile. He did like his current beret, but it was starting to get a little bit worn out. A new one was just what he needed. But when he heard about the labor that Platina put into it, Kouki found himself staring at her in shock before frowning and taking her hand in his. He was a bit worried about her hand, sad that she went to such lengths just to make him such a wonderful gifts. 

Gazing at Platina, he smiled happily and mouthed out words of thanks before looking back down at the gifts. He pulled out the beret and took off his current on, placing the new one on his head. And he was happy to find that it was a perfect fit.

"It's nice to meet you Kouki." Zeno shook his hand and smiled. "If you don't mind me asking, how come you don't talk?"

Shaking the man’s hand, Kouki smiled and nodded his head in agreement. But then, that smile slipped off his face at the sudden question and he found himself slumping a bit. Blinking a bit, he stared at the man for a moment before sighing and moving his attention to his board, writing down a lengthy message, much longer than anything that he had written since he had met this man. 

[I…it’s a long story. It’s mainly because of personal choice and I don’t really like talking about it. I…I’m sorry that I can’t tell you more but…it’s just really personal to me.] Kouki bit his bottom lip nervously and gazed down at his feet. 

[platiina-deactivated20130729]

The least you could do for me..is open the box and enjoy. -she points to it as he hugged it, her smile grew wider, she had never seem him s happy before..was it just because of the gifts inside the box or was it because someone finally did something for him? She’s thinking it’s both. Reaching out she tapped it- Come now Dia, i wanna see how you like your gift! 

[koukicookies-blog]

Looking at Platina with mild surprise, Kouki nodded his head a bit, glancing back down at the box. Even though he and Platina were friends, he had absolutely no idea what she could have gotten him. There were a range of things that she could have gotten, from clothes to food. All of that was definitely welcome, so no matter what was actually in the box, he was pretty sure that he'd be happy with it. 

Smiling, Kouki nodded his head before opening the box. His heart was pounding with excitement at seeing what was in the box. He glanced inside and his mouth fell open again before a giant smile cracked along his face.

“Come on Aryn! Gardenia isn’t going to be young forever! Plus we have ta get you all trained up for her battle! It’s been a while!” Barry yelled to his pokemon as they rushed along the path away from Sandgem Town. How great it felt to finally be able to run free, further from Sandgem Town. For the past two years, the male had been constrained to Twinleaf and Sandgem, unable to go much further because of Mother’s condition. Not that he didn’t want to care for his mother of course. She meant the world to him. She had cared for him whenever he was sick, so it was only right that he did the same. Especially since Father was stuck at the Battle Frontier.

As the blonde entered Jubilife City, he decided to make a stop at the Pokemon School, to brush up on his knowledge, back at home he had taken to reading fiction books. Sure, it wasn’t running around, but it was always something he turned to when he felt trapped. Reading was a way to escape. With Aryn and Nate trailing behind him, Jun walked into the pokemon school. And right into another person who happened to fall to the floor.

“Hey kid! Ya’ better watch where you’re goin’! I’m in a hurry here!” he exclaimed, holding out a hand to help them up. “You’re lucky I know that it was my fault ya’ fell or I’d have ta fine ya’!”

Kouki's eyes stared up at the Trainer's School for a long while, just letting his thoughts float around him. Memories of coming to the school with his mom and dad when he was very little and wanted to learn about Pokemon were still fresh in his mind, despite the long amount of time that had passed after that period. If he was doing his math right, it had been about...7 years? Wow, it had been a long while...a long while...

A slight slump came to Kouki's shoulders and he sighed softly. It had been so long since he had last talked. It was almost a distant memory. He didn't even remember what he sounded like. But somehow, that didn't bother him. His friends and family had been as supportive as they could about his decision when they saw that it was final. And he was really happy about that. 

Gripping onto his bag, Kouki juggled his options. While he had bad memories with the school, all the bullying and teasing that went on in that building, it was all in the past. He wanted to conquer that part of his life. Nodding his head in determination, Kouki took a step towards the school when all of a sudden he was pushed to the ground in a heap.

Coughing softly, Kouki clenched his eyes shut in slight pain before whimpering. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion before glancing back at the person that had pushed him over. And when he looked back, his eyes widened in surprise. It was...

It was Jun.

“Hm?” Blair let his head tilt to the side a bit in interest as he contemplated the younger boy’s proposal. Well, honestly he had been fine with simply just watching him and perhaps reminding himself of the times when he was free to be so innocent, but… Well, the kid was pouting now and letting a cute little guy to waste his precious smile to give a pout instead was no fun so agreeing to play with him wasn’t too bad as long as it pleased him. Not that he minded anyway, he wasn’t really doing much of anything right now so why not do something that entertained him?

“Well, if you don’t mind, I don’t either.” he said with a chuckle. “Are you sure, Kiki-chan? I thought you were cute all your own playing around with your pokemon just now ♥”

[koukicookies-blog]

The pout on Kouki's face stayed while he watched Blair go through his decision mentally. But as he saw the other male smile at him, the pout slowly moved off of his face and was replaced by a thoughtful expression. And of course, that was soon replaced by one of happiness and excitement when Blair agreed to his offer. 

Giggling softly, Kouki nodded his head quickly and grabbed onto Blair's hand before pulling him gently, trying to get him to follow after him. A few feet away, he could spy his Turtwig and his Shinx playing with each other, glancing in his direction every once and a while. Giggling again, he pulled Blair towards the area where his Pokemon were at, looking back at him and shining a look of thanks in his direction.

-She giggled and pulled out a rather large blue box, she held it out for him to take- Here you go, I got it mailed in from Unova just a few days ago. But Decided to come around today or if you were not here, tomorrow. It’s because you’re one of my dearest friends that you are receiving a gift..and that you always deserved something in return for your hardwork.

[koukicookies-blog]

The bright glint in Kouki's eyes brightened even more as he saw the large box being pulled from behind Platina's back. Mouth opening wider, he took the box from his friend's hand and looked down at it. It was a pretty blue color, which he really liked because blue was his favorite color. A pleasant smile was on his face and his face flushed a bit in happiness. 

[T-thank you so much Platina! I...how can I thank you for this? I can take you out for something to eat, or out to go shopping.] This was just so nice of his friend. He really felt like he needed to do something in return. He clutched onto the box and the smile on his face brightened even more.

It was great to hear — or rather to read — that Kouki had been doing well! Even though their first meeting hadn’t been the best and somewhat awkward, Touya liked the boy, probably because he was just as timid and hesitant when it came to approaching people. It made him feel at ease, though… Why was the other boy blushing? He hadn’t said anything wrong, had he? If that were the case, Kouki should have told him! Fidgeting a bit with the bill of his hat, Touya turned his attention back on the road. “Um, well… I think I’m doing okay. I spent a lot of time at home, because I needed a break,” he answered earnestly while he heaved a small sigh.

“So, I think I might do short trips soon again.” Yup, hop onto Zekrom’s back and fly to whatever place sounded interesting enough. Maybe do some Pokémon battles while they were at it. Neither he or his team wanted to get out of shape. “Are you… okay, though?” he tilted his head, watching the shy boy in concern. “I- I uh didn’t say anything wrong earlier, did I?”

[koukicookies-blog]

A gentle smile came to Kouki's face as he heard Touya talk, the blush on his cheeks still present, although not as bright. He was quite sure why he was feeling so flustered, but he had an inkling that it had something to do with the fact that he had thought that Touya was a girl, when it turned out that he was actually a boy. So, he felt just a little bit flustered and embarrassed. 

Hugging his board close for a moment, the blush on Kouki's cheeks brightened once again when he heard Touya ask how he was. Coughing awkwardly, Kouki nodded his head rapidly and averted his gaze. He didn't like that his flustered state was so noticeable. It made him feel even more embarrassed. 

[A-ah...yes, I'm fine! I...I'm just not used to..to talking to people a lot...so I'm just a bit flustered...] While he showed Touya this message, he didn't at him at all, too ashamed by his nervous nature.

platiina replied to your post: -Platina stared at the male before smiling gent...

 I figured that was you! -She steps towards him, hand going behind her back as she held onto something- I was passing through and hoped to see you. I have a gift.

Eyes widening a bit, Kouki's mouth fell open in awe and his eyes glittered in happiness. A gift? He didn't normally get gifts from others unless he helped them with something first. So, the thought that he was going to get something, especially from his friend was really exciting. 

[Oh? Can I see it?] Kouki moved a little bit closer towards Platina, trying to see around her body to see the gift. 

[koukicookies-blog]

"That sounds like a good idea. My name is Zeno by the way. What's yours?"

As the male introduced himself, Kouki smiled and nodded his head. He held out his hand in greeting, balancing his board in his other hand. Although now that he thought about it, he did need his other hand to help support the board while he wrote another message. Nibbling on his bottom lip, he retracted his hand to write down a quick message before holding it right back out. 

[My name is Kouki! It’s nice to meet you Zeno!] 

[koukicookies-blog]

-Platina stared at the male before smiling gently and waving slowly- Diamond? is that you? *ooc: whispers hello*

Kouki glanced up when he heard someone say something a few feet away from him. Blinking at the female for a moment, a glint of recognition entered his eyes. It was Platina! He hadn’t expected to see her all of a sudden, but he was more than happy to see her. Picking up his board, he quickly wrote down a message before turning to board around for the female to see. 

[Hiya Platina! I didn’t expect to see you!] A bright smile came to Kouki’s face. 

[koukicookies-blog]

So, I'm going to try and be here on Kouki a little bit more. Because wow, I've been neglecting him for a while. :C

So, does anyone want for me to write them a starter? If so, just like this post. ^^

[ask-the-lady-in-green]

Come ask my character really hard questions about themselves, their past, or their relationships.

[koukicookies-blog]

"Well to tell you the truth I'm not headed anywhere in particular."

Humming softly, Kouki slowly nodded his head and tilted his head a bit. Well…he wasn’t quite where he could take this guy, especially when he didn’t have a destination in mind. 

[Well then, how about I take you to the nearest Pokemon Center? They have a large map there, so maybe you could figure out where you wanted to go from there!] It was worth a try, after all.
