When Richboys away, the children will play || Rose and Gold

@nightmaresofgold

Rosalinda had met Gold during her travels a number of years back. She didn’t give him much of a second thought if she was being honest. It was only recently that the two of them had connected and bonded over cute pokemon and hot chocolate. When Gold asked her out for drinks later that month she had been only too eager to hang out with him again. 

Gold was fun, and this was a side of herself that she had never really been able to explore before. They of course were just friends for the moment Rose couldn’t see him as anything but that. She hummed gently as she fixed her curls sitting up at the bar waiting for Gold. 

A few men approached her and she kindly declined the invitation explaining that her boyfriend would be along shortly. Gold was no where near the sort but she knew he’d play along if asked to keep these hooligans away from her. Sipping her soda she smiled when he entered waving him over. 

“You took your time getting here.” She teased with a hum. “Traffic that bad or did you not want to see me?” Rose asked with a pout of her pink lips.

Gold had honestly been surprised that he’d gotten along with her as well as he had. He didn’t typically find he enjoyed the company of people that were from her world... but Rose was different. Rose was unique. Rose just... seemed more down to earth... and it intrigued him. 

Honestly, he wanted to get to know her more. He wanted to get closer to her, at least be friends anyway. So when she accepted his offer of getting drinks he may have been a little too obvious in his excitement. Of course the day of however everything seemed to be delaying him. Officer Jenny felt the need to talk to him about something that he thought was insignificant, (he couldn’t remember, something to do with team rocket or something like that ) then people insisted on challenging him to a battle what seemed like every step of the way. Normally he’d be fine with it but he had plans today dammit!

The moment he got in and heard her teasing he noticed the looks other people were giving him and the way she pouted her lips. Was she getting harassed...?? Again...??? Figures. He easily slid in beside her arm around her shoulder before taking her hand in his other hand, giving it a small kiss like a gentleman would. Normally he’d have placed a kiss on her cheek but he wasn’t sure if that would be pushing boundaries. “Not want to see you? Come on sweetheart, who wouldn’t want to come visit someone as precious as you?” Maybe that was laying it on a little thick but hey, go big or go home right?

“You don’t? Why not?” Blue teased back shaking her head gently. Of course she didn’t expect him to have dresses lying about. It would be weird if he had. She suppressed another shiver before nodding her head. “It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve worn your clothes.” She said softly remembering all too well the last time. 

The promise of a shower and being able to catch up made Blue smile. Not only would it be fun but it would also provide her the distraction she needed. Gold had always been good at that. She appreciated that he wanted to stay friends after she’d broken up with him. He was a good friend to have and she knew that. He was a good boyfriend too but she didn’t want to hurt him again by agreeing to something she knew wouldn’t work because of her. 

“A movie sounds great honestly.” She said still trying to smooth the fabric that clung to her skin. It was getting uncomfortable if she was being honest. She found herself tugging his jacket tighter around her when the elevator stopped moving. She wondered what she looked like. Was her makeup running? Her hair clung to her in matted clumps and honestly if anyone was going to find her this way, well she was glad it was Gold. He’d seen her at her worst more times than she could count. 

“Thank you Goldilocks… Really.” She said earnestly as she looked at him with warm brown eyes. “I don’t know what I’d have done without you.”

Gold grinned impishly. “Because unlike some guys I haven’t gotten into cross-dressing yet. Maybe someday, who knows~” The look on his face relaxed again as she spoke before he hummed, considering his options. 

“Great, while you’re having your shower I’ll find a couple suggestions, maybe get some popcorn the works.” It was at that point that they had arrived at his floor and he led her out of the elevator, his arm wrapped around her to keep anyone that might look out the door from questioning things too much. At least out loud. He was sure it would look like he’d found himself a one night stand, but he didn’t care what others thought of him.  His gaze turned to her then, watching her a moment before he scoffed. “You’d have been fine. You always are, after all nothing can keep you down for long~” He answered simply, his eyes sparkling a little as he arrived at the door to his room. Unlocking it he gestured for her to come inside, following behind her. “The shower is just in the room to the left there. I’ll grab you some spare clothes and put them and a towel on the sink for you to grab when you’re done alright?” 

Afterwards he hummed, scratching the back of his neck. Sure, it hurt a little knowing that she still was in love with another guy... but so long as he could be near her that’s what mattered right? Right. He went about gathering what he’d need to keep her mind occupied since obviously she’d been thinking too hard about something. Probably that dumb guy she loved.

Blue was pretty sure that the last time Gold had been here had been when she broke up with him. Even then all the times they’d visited between Kalos and Johto most of her time was either spent at home or in the lab doing various projects. They did things of course, Gold was a gentleman and she appreciated it more than he would probably ever know. The problem was that he’d fallen for her and she was still in love with a ghost.really she’d broken up with him for his own good she wanted him to be happy and knew that it was probably killing him that she couldn’t fully return his feelings. 

Suppressing a shiver she shrugged leaning into him. Even in the warm building, with how long she’d stood in the rain she was freezing. Gold’s coat helped a little but all she wanted in that moment was a hot shower and a cheesy romcom. “Dunno, find yourself a girlfriend yet?” She asked playfully. She was curious and they were friends so she was allowed to ask right?

“Gold you are one of my best friends of course I don’t have an issue with that… Actually I was going to ask if you wouldn’t mind me using your shower, possibly borrowing some clothes since mine are wet.” She gestured to how her blouse clung to her skin. “If that’s not too much to ask of course.” She said then wondering if it would be. Was leaning on him as much as she had in the last two years cruel?

When Gold made the grand sweeping bow all she could do was laugh as she shook her head. “You’re an idiot.” She murmured affectionately before following his lead and heading toward the elevator. 

Gold remembered clearly the last time he’d been here, and sometimes he found himself wishing he couldn’t remember it as clearly as he could. However, it was a memory of her and that made it worth the while to hold onto. 

Hearing her question about finding a girlfriend he actually barked out a laugh before shaking his head. “Nah. Not yet, why you offering~?” He teased before waving it off as if not expecting an answer. He always teased and played after all, and he knew what her answer would be. It was how he protected his heart at times. He wasn’t over Blue yet, but he didn’t want her to know that. 

“ah, but I’m your idiot~ At least as a friend of course.... and why would it be too much to ask? So long as you don’t mind wearing guy’s clothes of course. I don’t exactly have extra dresses and that lying around.” 

Once she was in the elevator he was in after her, pressing the button up to his floor. “It won’t take long, promise.. then you can have that nice warm shower and we can catch up! It’s been a while after all... maybe over a movie or something?”

Hearing Gold call out to her again Blue blinked, she looked less than perfect, make up running from the rain her hair matted to her head and the fabric of her clothes clung to her skin in odd places. She just stared mechanically at Gold for a minute before she opened her mouth to speak. She’d hardly expected to see her ex here of all places. Not that she’d minded they had stayed friends and spoke often but she looked like garbage. 

“Gold…” She finally was able to stammer out feeling the warmth from his damp jacket. She tugged the fabric around her shoulders then trying to offer him her signature smile not wanting to worry him. Seems that idea didn’t work as she was suddenly being pulled in the opposite direction of her home and into a warm hotel as she numbly followed him. 

“What are you doing in Kalos?” She finally asked as they reached the lobby unsure of what else to say for the moment. She was glad to see him he’d be good at distracting her from the thoughts in her head. She was soaked to the bone and even with the warmth from the lobby and the jacket that Gold had provided her she could help but shiver still. 

“Are you going to be staying in town for a while? You know you could have just called me I have a spare room. Instead of wasting your money and all.” She scolded then with a smile hugging him. “Thank you. It’s really good to see you Goldilocks.”

Hearing Blue’s question when she finally spoke, Gold was glad that she wasn’t frozen to the point of not being able to speak or something. He grinned brightly, sticking his tongue out a bit to try and maybe cheer her up or something. “Just taking in the sights. You know I’ve never really had the chance to actually explore Kalos. It’s fun so far!” 

He made a face however at her scolding before rolling his eyes. “Yeah I know I could have, but then we wouldn’t have had the chance to meet up like this without planning! Surprises like that are always fun you know. Besides, if I don’t waste my money on hotels what else am I going to waste it on..? It’s not like I’m going to run out any time soon or anything.” 

Gold was a bit startled when she hugged him, a warm feeling going through him as he hugged her back. “It’s good to see you too Blue. I’ve missed you.” After another moment he pulled away, tilting his head. “Come on, let’s get you up to my room to warm up. Unless you have an issue sharing a room temporarily with your ex that is~” He teased her, a sparkle in his eyes. 

Assuming that she wouldn’t have a problem with it he began to lead her away, using his key-card to open the doors with the plan to lead them up to the higher floors where the rooms were. Before he actually went into the elevator however he made an overly dramatic bow and gestured to the door. “Ladies first~”

It had been two years since she’d seemingly lost her best friend and she still felt that dull ache in her heart. She’d secluded herself for the most part hardly leaving the lab unless it was required. Typically she went from one lab to another if she wasn’t working for Sycamore then she was doing something for Oak in a hope of seeing her best friend. So far there wasn’t any word from him and work help take her mind off of everything else. 

When she arrived at the lab today however Sycamore just frowned at her and told her to go home. She’d put in more hours this week than even he had and he was starting to worry. Blue tried to assure him that she was indeed fine but he wasn’t buying it and she was sent home for the day. 

With nothing to do and no notice she was unable to go bother Professor Oak which left her for the first time in two years forced to deal with her own thoughts. Blue found herself wandering with no real destination looking around the beautiful city. Today it seemed dull and she wondered if that was because of her mood or if her opinion of Lumiose had changed since first arriving thirteen years ago. 

Hearing the thunder she looked up as the sky seemed to open up and the rain came pouring down. She didn’t flinch, didn’t make to move inside instead looking straight ahead as she let her thoughts wander. It wasn’t until she heard someone speak up that she moved realizing she was shivering from the cold rain. 

“What?” She hadn’t heard what they said only that they’d spoken. 

Gold had honestly been having a rather decent day, wandering around Lumiose City. He hadn’t been here for long the last time he was here so he was taking in all the sights now that he could. When it started raining a lot of people seemed to panic and cry out as they ran for shelter or grabbed umbrellas. Gold on the other hand just raised an eyebrow and continued on. 

He’d always enjoyed the rain, it made things easier sometimes though he knew Exbo didn’t share this sentiment. He always made note to do his best to not bring the fire type out when it was raining, same for Sudobo of course. However his mind was snapped out of his thoughts when he thought he saw a familiar sight in front of him, one that he didn’t expect to see in this situation. 

“Blue...?? Hey Blue! Is that you!?” Gold called out as he ran over to her. It was then that she spoke and he blinked in surprise. With that reaction, and the look on her face... something was very wrong here. He approached cautiously, a look of worry in his eyes before he could even consider stopping it. 

“Blue.... what are you doing out here in the rain..??” He put a hand on her shoulder only to all but yank it back soon afterwards. “You’re freezing!! What have you been doing out here? You trying to catch a cold!?” He quickly pulled his jacket off and slid it over her shoulders. “Yeah sure my jacket may be a bit wet but at least it’s still enough to warm you up a little. Let’s get you out of the rain okay? Then Exbo can help warm you up a little.” Figuring that she probably wouldn’t want an audience he quickly led her to the hotel where he had a room. He’d been planning on staying the night and now it would serve a different purpose. “Come on Blue... you can tell me about it once we get inside... or we can talk about something completely different.”

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?

Gold blinked as he gazed at the little robot now. “… Did someone put you up to this…? I mean… you know.. someone that maybe puts me in a bad mood often…?” Like Silver maybe..? Honestly that guy.. just thinking about him sometimes could put him in a mood. “Ah whatever. Spending time with Exbo and the others always cheers me right up. Though sometimes if it’s really bad.. I just really need to go let off steam.. pour water over my head or something you know? Well.. maybe not pour water over my head specifically. Just… go do something mindless for a bit to burn away the frustration."
