ACHING HEART &. WASTED YOUTH!
ACHING HEART &. WASTED YOUTH!
hey y’all, not sure if anyone still follows this blog, but i’m remaking leaf!
the most important part is that i’m making her into a fandomless oc. she doesn’t have a lot of ties to the pokemon fandom, and i want to explore her more without having to be limited by the world. she’ll still have a pokemon verse, though! her story will accommodate this
i’ll finish setting her up in a couple of days and rb the promo here! all relationships will carry over
INDEFINITE HIATUS.
this was probably a long time coming but yeah, i’m on hiatus. if you want to find me at other places, i’ll be on @fakedself and my discord ( toki/dorito#9726 ) . i’m always up for rping on discord, so you can definitely find leaf there too!
when i do come back, i’ll probably be starting fresh on a new blog / account. thanks for sticking around such a long time, i love you!
' it's my birthday soon . caaan you guess what i want? '
❛ i’ll give you your birthday present now. ❜ she grins, leaning forwards and going on her toes to give zeriel a quick kiss. ❛ i’ll give you your actual present when the 21st rolls around, though, zere. ❜
Leaf receives NOT a packet of sugarless gummy bears (she has been spared), but a large bacon pizza with a bag of Doritos and a super soaker. All from Mei. Happy birthday!
❛ holy shit! ❜ she widens her eyes, eagerly taking the food and the super soaker, immediately opening the box of pizza and taking a bite of a slice. ❛ thanks a lot, mei! i can’t wait to dig in. ❜ she takes another bite -- leaf’s really trying her best not to devour it all right now.
' You thought I wouldn't know, huh? ' a friendly chuckle follows, and he pulls a wrapped package from his lab coat pocket, to offer to the younger girl. ' My wife went ahead and knitted you a giant scarf, but I asked some Valor trainers I met on my most recent trip for suggestions, and well, you'll find some earrings inside as well - what? I thought it was what the cool kids liked. Oh! and I threw in a Masterball, for that one future make-or-break moment in life. Happy birthday, Leaf. '
❛ i - wh - ❜ she’s genuinely at a loss of words, taking the package from his hands with a dumbfounded expression. the more and more he said about her gifts, the more in awe she was, mouth physically dropping when she heard him utter masterball. she blinks, looking from him to the package back and forth before she grins, moving forwards to wrap her arms around the older. she makes sure to watch what she’s saying ( god FORBID she let willow know she saw him as some sort of father figure! ) , and takes a mental note to open the package later so she won’t get so emotional in front of him.
❛ thanks, willow. tell your wife i said thank you. ❜
"Happy birthday!" Nate is all wide, toothy smiles as he holds out a small, carefully wrapped box for Leaf to take, inside it a handmade journal that is a pale cream in color, ivy depicted to be crawling along its cover and circling around a large, blue iris in the very center. Along with it is a book of Virginia Woolf's poetry. It's not much since he doesn't know her very well, but he hopes she likes it nonetheless.
❛ oh, thanks nate! ❜ she’s pleasantly surprised, feeling around the box and ripping it from the edge. she perks up upon seeing the gift ( she needed a new journal, how lucky! ) . she doesn’t quite recognize the poet, but she trusts nate’s judgement well enough to figure that she’ll enjoy it.

with quiet, careful steps she sneaks up behind her girlfriend, smile soft and happy as she wraps an arm around leaf’s waist and cheerfully murmurs, “happy birthday!” she’s content standing there a moment, chin resting on leaf’s shoulder, but eventually luka pulls back and reveals what’s in her other hand- a gift! the flower-patterned messenger bag is only one part of it, for inside leaf will find a soft, purple knit sweater folded up neatly with a pair of matching thigh highs, and a package of band-aids in the shape of smiling skitty faces. and there’s one thing more; a little box, topped with a jaunty pink ribbon. nestled inside is a necklace from which hangs a dome-shaped terrarium with a wee succulent inside, a tiny little plant leaf can wear around as it grows. “i thought about buying you flowers,” luka admits, “but, well, they’ll wilt eventually. and i love you, and that’s not ever gonna stop, so…” she pauses a moment, flushing, “so, i thought this would be nicer. we can watch it grow together, you know?”
the declaration of ‘happy birthday!’ is enough for her - leaf’s perfectly satisfied just staying there with luka. really, she’s content enough with just knowing luka remembered her birthday. when she pulls back, there’s something like disappointment that fills her veins, but it’s immediately discarded once she sees the gifts in her gitlfriend’s hands. gently, leaf takes the items, unsure, cautious, as if they’re not really for her.
it feels dreamlike, really, a hand placing the bag over her shoulder and running a hand over the design before checking inside. she pulls out the thigh highs and sweater first, examining it with a big smile. she saves her gratitude at the end, but part of her knows she’ll love it all anyways. leaf folds it back up neatly, reaching for the box of bandaids and grinning at the design. she’s always been a sucker for cute bandaid designs, especially those that were pokemon-related, so she’s glad to say she’ll treasure them. almost too much, they were much too cute to actually use...
she feels around some more, eventually taking out the box and carefully opening it up. her mouth’s agape and she takes a second before throwing her arms around luka, pulling away to press kisses all over the other’s face.
❛ th - thank you, thank you so much! oh my god, i love all of it! i love you so much! ❜ she’s absolutely head over heels and the feelings rarely changed over the last couple of months, ❛ i love you! thank you! ❜ she goes back to hugging luka, face nestled in the crook of her neck.
"Happy birthday, Leaf!" Red thrusts forward a shoddily wrapped present with a bow stuck on top. If there even is a 'top' to it. Inside is t-shirt with Charizards printed /all/ over it and a mini Butterfree shaped plant pot. "I hope you like it and that it's your size. I got it big just in case, 'cause I think baggy shirts are popular, right?"
she doesn’t mind the shoddy wrap - in its own kind of way, it was kinda charming. leaf inspects it, looking for the place to rip the wrapping in one piece, before forgoing it all together and tearing it to shreds. honest to god, she almost starts crying when she sees the gifts, lips curling up into a smile. ❛ yeah, yeah, it’s all great! baggy shirts are kinda my thing too, so that’s fine! ❜ she picks up the pot, holding it to the light before putting it back in fear of breaking it ( and how awful would that be! ) . balancing the box, she reaches over to wrap her arms around red, ❛ thanks a ton. ❜
And Lucas just sprints over once he finally saw Leaf. He hands over the birthday present with a small smile. It was simple (a keychain and a hat he picked up while visiting Alola), but he hoped it was good. "Happy birthday!"
❛ lucas! ❜ she lights up, hugging him before she could even tell what the presents were. she only reluctantly pulls away to see his gifts and her grin grows wider. a hand reaches to fit the hat on her head loosely before inspecting the keychain, dangling it with one finger. ❛ it’s so cute! thank you so much, luc, i love it! ❜
it's time to reappear only to disappear but not before squishing her cheeks and giving her a big ol smooch
she barely has any time to react when zeriel visualizes. he’s only met with a blinking of green eyes, hand outstretched. there’s a brief feeling of warmth and comfort that fills her, a feeling that always appears when he’s around. like him, however, the feeling disappears once she realizes these minutes are probably the last ones she’ll have with him for the last time. pushing aside the bitter taste in her mouth, she offers an easy smile.
❛ hey! good to see you. ❜
Happy birthday, Leaf!
❛ thanks! ❜
