@ambivalentatmosphere / Ethan (rainy - days )
It was funny. Hoenn was starting to feel more like home than Alola ever was to Lynn. The constant trips to rehearse and perform at the contest halls, plenty of beaches to study pokemon marine life... and of course there was visiting The Fish himself. Another like minded soul considering their respective backgrounds. Although compared to her, Ethan was much more shameless and notorious for inflicting part of her curse. Which was probably a blessing in disguise.
She always enjoyed their adventurous dates together, and this time was not much different. A trip to the woods nearby Fortree City. Although, Lynn did have some issue with a certain other friend initiating surprise forest survival modes, by now this was just another thing Lynn was desensitized to. Not only that the river that cut through had plenty of water types like carvahna, tentacool and the almost elusive feebas.
What started out as bright, sunny afternoon was not surprisingly turned into a torrential downpour. Water type affinity or not, they did have to find shelter. And fortunately that came in the form of one of Ethan's secret bases. Once inside, she a spot on the floor beside him.
“Since we're gonna be here for a while anyway, do you wanna get in the rain or would you rather stay here?”
Lynn blinked turning her attention to Ethan. Didn't they just literally get out of the storm. Not to mention she had decided to wear a nice sun dress for their date. She could hear the consisting pattering against the outside of the base. A thoughtful hum was made.
"Ehhh, well I do have a spare change of clothes. Would be silly to just not take advantage of that," she could already tell Ethan was itching to to go out and have fun in the rain. "Y'know what...yeah let's do that!"
It seemed like the former Aqua scientist didn't need her to repeat her answer because before she knew it, he had grabbed onto her hand and tugged her back outside into the cold but refreshing downpour. Not only that but a joyful dance was performed between the two of them causing the Lynn to chuckle out a tease. "If I didn't know better I would say you were an aspiring coordinator yourself~"
Did it matter her nice clothes were getting soaked? Maybe just a bit. But that thought was immediately erased when she was pulled close into a kiss with him. Sure she was flustered, but in a good way. His embrace was a warm contrast. This was their moment with each other. They could worry about wet garments later.
💋 Ethan horrors
My muse is standing under mistletoe. Send 💋 to give them a kiss. @ambivalentatmosphere / Ethan
Would Lynn really be learning her lesson not to climb onto things, knowing her level of clumsiness and lack of luck? Especially if what she scaled up on were those infamous counter tops?
Of course not. As a former scientist one could argue it was her job to fuck around and find out....actually. No wait!
Regardless, she had indeed scampered up onto the kitchen counter of Pacifidlog Town home. Raising herself up on her knees in an effort to sneak a small decorative mistletoe onto the ceiling. Although, with her short height she was barely skimming the surface.
She had wanted to surprise Ethan with the strategically placed holiday sprig. However, his sudden appearance may have backfired that intention.
"Ehhh!...no wait...it's not even ready....!" she exclaimed waving her hands at him. Only to stumble slightly forward. Fortunately, she would be caught. In more ways than one. Apparently he had took notice of the mistletoe.
The kiss was it's own pleasant surprise. One that caused that usual knee jerk fluster. Her form slumped against the former Aqua, her arms draping over his shoulders. "And to think I was gonna try to surprise you," she added with a bemused sigh.

FOR THE “YOU CAN KILL ME BUT DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH THEM” DYNAMICS // @ambivalentatmosphere / Ethan
It was a thankful fact that the changing rooms at the contest halls were private. It was one place she could be alone after each performance. Though as of late, she had been escaping to it more often. Even taking longer time there. She wasn't meaning to isolate herself.
It was just that putting herself in the spotlight put her at risk for stalking fans, and even by extent giving her whereabouts to her past coworkers at Aether. It didn't help that she was still technically bait for ultra beasts due to the exposed energies. That never really went away.
This day did feel different. Still the early morning hours. There was evidence she had been camping out there overnight. Her backpack used as a makeshift pillow upon one of the sofas. She was still haphazardly dressed in her costume. Signs she was going back to her old nomadic habits.
As much as she was trying to hold it together, her optimistic facade would eventually crack. Thing was she wasn't entirely alone in that room. Ethan didn't have to attend her shows nor did he even have to be there. But he was. And she knew he was intuitive enough to know something was going on.
It was just that his offer to do 'whatever she wanted' wasn't something she expected to here. -She- was always the one in service of people. Her form was been slumped against the make up counter. Nearby was a scattering of some accessories, her rotom phone with unanswered texts on the screen, and a few of her dive balls, there capsules barely decorated.
She had filled Ethan in on the list of plaguing thoughts. That despite the jokes she made about it, she actually felt cursed. She turned to him with a half flustered smirk on her face. "Anything, huh? I mean it would be kinda fun to see more of your psychic magic at work," she mused.
It was just... she slouched over again hiding herself against the cosmetic counter. Finally a confession came from her. It was true her past was slowly catching up with her. The constant inquiries of whether she would return from it. "I just want them to leave me alone. I'm tired of being haunted by all of it" And yet, she would instinctively reach out for his own hand. They were an exception. She wanted him there.
LISTEN.
Sooooo I heard it was the Legend™ 's birthday coming up soon...and I thought "Why not make some gift art of Ethan and Lynnie?" (aka CountertopShipping)
Anyways made it in time for holidays, too :3

💨 Muse has been so stressed at work/life that another decides to 'calm them down' sexually (fish)

"I'm suppose to have everything together, y'know??" Lynn exclaimed as she continued on her stress-filled ramble. She stared at the failed batch of pokeblocks and poffins on the counter. Her face scrunching up at the horrid result. Already she made thrice as many deliveries to the point where she felt she could barely even move after all that walking. And that was only for the past few days. Everything had been building up. She had to explain why part of Ethan's kitchen was in a mess.
There was no doubt this was both frustrating and embarrassing to her. She tried to reason that her 'scientist half would have kept this all under control'. Right?? Or that as a performer she could have a creative solution. However, she was running on empty.
At least she could open up to him. By then there was a trust that had built up with Ethan. And she slowly came to realize over time that his home was just as much her own. Not to mention Pacifidlog Town was an ideal place for her water type pokemon. Most of which were swimming about near the plethora of docks. Inside it had been quiet, aside from her sudden rant.
Ethan on the other hand always seemed calm. She wondered if anything did bother him. Aside from the that one reveal about his psychic abilities being put under a microscope.
@ambivalentatmosphere / Ethan (Cont.) “See? I've still got it! My aim's pretty good, right?”
Ethan had been continuously bragging about his impeccable aim for the past few days. Might as well put that claim to the test. Of course, he had shown off his skills before with the crossbow. But it was fun to tease this capability. Sitting in a chair, her rotom phone hovered nearby her person in case anything delivery requests were to chime through.
"Do I look like the type of person that would use someone's own secrets against them?" Lynn asked almost feigning disbelief in her voice.
"Besides, I thought you knew that asking a lot of questions is a common habit among scientists... and yes, perhaps this is a way to get back for that curse you supposedly inflicted on me~"
Even though she's witnessed these skills before it never ceased to impress her. An approving smile formed across her features when the bullseye was struck. Plus there was a tinge of envy, too.
"It's certainly a lot better than mine. But the question now is what or rather who has been your current targets lately?"
