Leave a “Quite Me” in my ask, and I’ll write a drabble about my character trying to calm yours down [be it from crying, from lashing out, feel free to specify.]
Cheren backed away as far as possible, as quickly as possible. He had done something to tick Touko off (again) and he was terrified of getting hit (again).
"Look, I'm sorry!!" he yelled, in a wild attempt to diffuse her anger. It didn't work. She just stood there, her fists clenched at her sides, shaking with emotion. "I... I don't know what I did, but... I'll fix it! I'll fix it!"
Honestly, he really did have no idea what he had done to upset his friend, but he wasn't going to take any chances. He had done something to trigger her temper and he had to diffuse it before she lashed out in a way she (and he) would regret.
Thinking quickly, he pulled up the internet on his Xtransceiver. He had done this several times to cheer up Touya... perhaps distracting Touko with videos of her favorite Pokemon would work as well.
"Touko, look!" he said, desperately waving his wrist around in her face. "Baby Deino!! You like that, don't you??" On the Xtransceiver screen was a video of a few newly hatched Deino, playing with one another. Touko loved Deino. Please, please, please let this work.
Touko simply glared at Cheren for a few moments, but made the mistake of flashing her eyes down towards the screen. The second she laid eyes on the baby Pokemon, her expression changed. She continued to watch the video in silence, and Cheren could feel his shoulders relax. When the video was over, Touko stood in silence for a moment, continuing to gaze at the blank screen.
Then, sighing, she looked back up at her friend.
"...Play another one, Cheren."
