❛   forgive me, for all the things i did. but mostly the things i didn’t do.  ❜  

[ for baby kae :sob: ]

A frown appeared on the little boys face, once he was met with those words from his older self, because... honestly, that doesn’t sound good, did it? So what had he done...what would he do in the future to cause his other self to apologize to him? Or more... what hadn’t he done? 

For a moment he wasn’t even sure what to say, what to reply to that, because he felt like he was missing so many information at this point and yet.. it kinda hurt to hear himself saying things like that. 

Biting down on his lower lip the boy eventually crossed the distance between them, before wrapping his arms around the others legs. 

“It’s not me who you needs to forgive your though, is it? Because it didn’t happen to me.” Yet. And maybe...hopefully? .. if never would. But still...

"Is there something you, maybe, I don't know, what to share with the class, Marko?.... About a certain someone you've been bringing here when everyone else is out?" Star asks, leaning over the back of the couch where the blond is tuning his bass. "I can smell her perfume."

Before she even opens her mouth, Marko knows he’s not going to like what Star has to say. He can’t explain how he knows—the sound of her footsteps behind him, something in the air, maybe—but he keeps his eyes on his bass, keeps on tuning it, and mentally braces himself.

Turns out he’s right—he doesn’t like it. Not because Star is asking, or being rude, or anything like that, but because he’s been trying to hide Lizzie’s presence in his life up until now. It’s not like he’s ashamed of her, or anything. He’s just been trying to keep her safe. Because once everyone knows, it’s game over.

Whether she shares their mission or not, Lizzie is a Frog. That makes her a threat. And even she wasn’t, she’s still human. He’s fooling himself if he thinks anything between a vampire and a human can last long-term. If she’s not turned at some point, she’ll still eventually find out the truth. Maybe she’ll go blabbing their secret and put them in danger, maybe she’ll keep her mouth shut, but she’ll find out, and she’ll be scared, and he’ll lose her.

So he doesn’t react. He continues his tuning, doesn’t spare Star even a glance, and shrugs. “Dunno what you’re talking about.” He sniffs the air, internally cursing the fact that she’s right. “I don’t smell anything, and I definitely haven’t been bringing anyone around—pretty sure I’d know if I did.”

[SURPRISE] Senders pokemon tackles Receiver, wanting to play LORD BABY BE UPON YE. FOUR FOOT TALL OSHAWOTT.

pokemon prompts // ACCEPTING

He really should have expected to get tackled, especially while he was playing a mock capture the flag with his Cinderace, with a ball as the makeshift flag. Though, in Leon's defense, he wasn't really expecting an outsider Pokemon to want to join in on their game.

"Oof!"

Leon was a sturdy guy, but there really wasn't any human sturdy enough to handle a four foot tall Oshawott tackling them, no matter the height or weight difference. Especially with the element of surprise. It was a "no contest" situation and all Leon could do was laugh as he was tackled to the ground.

Luckily, he was pretty used to being knocked off his feet, and managed to break his fall so he wasn't left stunned.

"Whoa, where'd you come from-- hey now!"

Cinderace, with the distraction caused by the arrival of Lord Baby, took advantage of the situation and swiped the ball from Leon's grasp.

"Haha! Well, I guess the point's yours this time!" Leon laughed, sitting up on his arm and patting Ree's Oshawott on the head. "You ought to play more fair, especially since someone else wants to join in apparently." He grinned, affectionately petting Lord Baby. "What do you say? Do you and your trainer wanna join in on a game of capture the flag? Well... capture the ball actually, don't have a flag."

Cinderace hummed happily, bouncing the ball on his knee.

[WEATHER] or [CAMP] -- whichever you vibe with more!

pokemon prompts // ACCEPTING [CAMP]

Kalos always was a beautiful region, and Leon hadn't really gotten much of a chance to appreciate it when he visited the region as the previous Champion. Now though, he'd decided to schedule his own vacation; it wasn't like he was much use as Chairman. It really wasn't any secret that he was miserable behind a desk, and downright terrible at it, so no one complained even once when he asked if it would be okay.

Leon had all but sprinted to the airport (with his Mr. Ryme guiding him) once it got cleared.

So for the last few days, he'd spent his days camping and hiking out in the Kalos wilderness, sometimes meeting other trainers and campers out there and sharing camps with them.

Tonight wasn't any different apparently. After crossing paths with Serena out in the wilderness and traveling together for the last half of the day, it just felt right sharing a camp site. And a nice meal.

Nothing quite like some friendly conversation over a hot meal to end a good day.

Night was falling, and the campfire was crackling and lively, carrying with it the smell of the earl gray with dried orange peel tea that Leon had steeping in his thermos nearby. He sat with his legs folded near the campfire, rifling around through his bag for whatever food he had in there.

"Hey, does stew or curry sound good for dinner?" Leon asked, sitting back and looking over his shoulder at Serena with a smile. "Or do you think something grilled would be better? I'm happy with whatever, so it's really up to you what sounds good! The only picky one here on my end is Jules."

He cocked a thumb over to his massive Charizard, who laid stubbornly and curmudgeonly by Leon's tent watching the rest of Leon's team run around excitedly. Like their trainer, they were all pretty happy to be out and about in a new place and have the freedom to do so. Jules however, was irritated because it was really a pain to be such a large Charizard in the middle of a forest.

Jules huffed at Leon's teasing, earning a laugh from the former Champion.

[𝑺𝑬𝑻𝑻𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑷𝑻𝑺, 037.   the site of a car accident . Safine @ Leon]

Was Safine expecting to get into a traffic accident today? No, not really.

Was she aware of the car barrelling towards her at top speed? The pedestrian light was green, so, also no.

Was she still hit and sent flying several dozen metres? Absolutely.

... Will she be alright? Most likely. That girl could get trampled by a herd of Tauros and still manage to walk it off with little more than a mild complaint and a killer headache. However, none of the people and Pokémon who saw the accident would be aware of this (probably).

It had been a pretty normal day all things considered, riddled with the usual problems that came with leaving Leon to navigate on his own. But he didn't really have anywhere important to be for once, so he wasn't that pressed about being lost.

Once it got later in the day, then he'd bring out his Rotom to guide him to the train station. But for now, he was enjoying the sun and bustle of Wyndon and had even found a couple small shops he hadn't even known existed!

"Mom'll love that antique shop," Leon muttered to himself, making a note in his phone to remind himself of the name of the shop and what street it was on. "Oh, right, I should call her later--"

The screeching of tires barely registered, though the rush of wind from the car as it shot past him was enough to nearly knock the baseball cap off his head. He reached up to hold it down, gaze flickering up to scowl at the speeding car--

--The sound of a body hitting a car was a lot different than he thought it would sound. Duller, less dramatic than the movies made it sound.

Or maybe the blood pounding in his ears just made it sound like that.

"--Ah--"

Leon dropped his Rotom phone, the Pokemon catching itself before it could fall and taking off after him. Everyone else seemed frozen in shock, only Leon moving despite the spike of fear that had shot down his spine like ice.

"Miss!" He called out, falling over himself to stop and drop next to the woman that had been hit. He hesitated. She seemed conscious still, dazed though if he had to guess. He rested a hand on her arm, the only part of her he was certain was safe to touch.

I shouldn't move her... what if she's got a spinal injury?

"Don't worry," Leon said, surprising himself with how steady his voice was. "I'll get an ambulance called and you'll be just fine-- Rotom, call 999."

   “I wasn’t snooping through your things, if you were wondering,” Alex said defensively, raising his hands up. “Actually, your mom gave that to me. Well, she told me to pass it on to you when I thought you needed it and well … you seemed like you needed it, so there you are. You and your dad look really happy there.”

   To say he’s surprised at the hesitation is an understatement, but Alex doesn’t let it show. He knows that Henry’s had a different lifestyle than he does, he’s maybe even never been given flowers before, though he seriously hopes that isn’t the case. And he doubts it, because who doesn’t give flowers to a prince? No, what he thinks the hesitation is for is because he’s likely the first genuine loved one to give him some and Alex makes a mental note to give them to him more often, because Henry deserves them. He’s lovelier than any bouquet, after all, but he knows the other appreciates the gesture all the same.

   Stepping forward, Alex can’t help himself as he presses a soft kiss to Henry’s cheek, near the spot where his smile crinkles into a dimple. This is the smile he’s fallen in love with too, the one where Henry isn’t smiling for the cameras.

   “You’re welcome, sweetheart,” he said, reaching out to squeeze Henry’s arm. “I saw those on display in the flower shop and knew they had to be yours. And I bought a vase to go with them, too,” Alex said, having put that up on the counter beforehand.
