Small little thing to get me back in the spirit of Pokemon and writing again. Unova will always be my heart and home, and I’m thinking of possibly opening up requests for other regions/games, but I’m still thinkin’ about it. Lemme know if you’d be down for that. <3 Love you guys.
Also hi to the random 40 followers that I ended up getting lol! Hope you enjoy what I have to offer.
There it was, the sunset that N had come to love. The pinks mixing in with all the blues, the light on the sidewalks that traveled around Unova. The Pidove soaring lazily in tired winds, and the sweet scent of flowers. The Village Bridge was one of his favorite spots. All around him, he could hear the pleasant tunes of other people; the leaf whistler in the trees just up north, the guitarist happily strumming with his hat of coins, the singer belting out his soul for the world to hear.
And yet, this beautiful scenery and noise couldn’t compare to you. It never could. You were leaning against the bridge, the wind blowing your hair in almost hypnotic patterns. You stared at the sunset with such love and adoration that N found himself becoming slightly jealous of the sun. Which, he found pretty pathetic. How could he be jealous of a ball of gas? What he was truly jealous of was your Pokemon.
He could understand them, which many people didn’t know. But you did. You helped him out. You saved him. That was something he could never pay you back for. The Reshiram inside your Pokeball was content, happy, well loved. You Volcarona and Sawsbuck were both so tired from a day of training, but you had given them both equal amount of pettings and food. They were now sleeping tight in their balls. N wished that he could be given the same amount of love that you gave them.
But his shyness got the best of him, most of the time. So all he could do right now is watch as you placed your head in your hands, that little smile on your face absolutely blinding him. He could only pray. He wanted nothing more than to take your hand in his, but he wasn’t brave enough. He looked away, biting the inside of his lip slightly. As usual, you were the driving force in his life. In fact, in the entire Unova region. You didn’t become Champion just for fun. You changed a lot in everyone’s lives. Especially his.
“N?”
N looked up to see your eyes turned towards him now, those bright, shining stars focused on him. He smiled, unable to fight it. “Hm? Yes?”
“Is something wrong?” You furrowed your eyebrows at him, a slight pout on your face. N laughed to himself. This was going to be hard to resist.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.”
When you placed your hand on his arm and got closer to him, he felt his face almost burst into flame. He swallowed hard, hoping you wouldn’t notice the little jump he had.
“Are you sure? You’ve been kind of off today.”
He had to turn away from you. He couldn’t take it. You were so concerned about him... it made him feel almost unworthy. But your thumb looping circles on the cuff of his shirt almost made him lose it. “Well...” you started, leaning your cheek on his upper arm. “If you ever want to talk about it, I’ll be here, okay?”
There you go again, being as perceptive as ever. That’s probably why you got along with your Pokemon so well. At times, he wondered if you were like him, able to speak to them. But then he remembered that you can just read everyone and everything so well.
“You worry too much,” he joked.
“I wouldn’t have to worry if you talked to me.”
“I need to get you a button to stop worrying about me.”
“That would be wonderful, honestly.”
“Hmmm... maybe... right here?” N leaned down and kissed the top of your head, causing you to squeak and look up at him, wide eyed. You face was a bright red. N realized in that moment that little old him made the savior of Unova blush. He turned away, his own blush on his face. “S-Sorry... I didn’t mean to be so forward...”
N was surprised to feel your head resting against his arm again. He dared to look down, only to see your eyes closed and a big grin on your face. He wanted to try something, and he figured that the adrenaline from the kiss would be the only thing that got him there. He tentatively took your hand in his, delighted when you wrapped your fingers with his.
“Almost reminds me of the carousel,” you said with a chuckle.
“Hm? How so?”
“...Same feelings as back then. Almost felt like a date then.”
