❝ oh, fuck off. ❞ it's early morning when they meet; too early for coffee, too early for chit-chat. she's still warm from when she's rolled out of bed, but getting colder by the second, especially pressed against the back of the food truck. his hand rests on her exposed hip, and she flinches.

YOU'RE NOT SHY NOW, ARE YOU ? a call-back to something she told him that makes her eye twitch; he's not in power.

she doesn't look away when she reaches for her belt, softly clicking as she undoes it. she's nothing short of DEFIANT, hands going for his the same exact way, helping him relax some of the pressure. ❝ you fucking suck. YOU'RE SO LUCKY YOU'RE HOT ENOUGH. ❞ she's not so sugary, not so sweet anymore. it's a compliment, but barely. he had to earn it, first.

the gym leader's leg presses against his crotch. ❝ make me warm, i'm getting cold. ❞

It's official. He doesn't like Lumiose. The fights are fun, most Trainers encountered in the streets at night could be quite challenging... but that place was too big and loud, for him.

How Gold and Shay managed to pull him in their unprompted holiday was still beyond him.

Almost letting himself fall on the chairs of the first cafè he could find, Silver let out a long sigh, letting Feral ( who, to be fair, was having the time of his life beating up Megaevolutions! ), practically drop on him, his big snout lying on the young Champion's legs, taking their time to relax for a few minutes before the waiter approached them.

"A Flamethrower Roast, please."

...of course. He might not enjoy the town nor being jumped in the street, but that didn't mean he was going to quit just yet! He just needed some coffee to keep going.

PROMPT. ↪ accepting.

❝ right ... SORRY. ❞ her eyes flicker, concentrating less on details — but SHE HAD SEEN ENOUGH. the distinct orange is one she had become less accustomed to, yet the way it ATTACKS HER EYES is all too familiar.

❝ you're KINDA PRETTY, is all. ❞ she lies like she breathes, effortlessly. her elbow rests on the counter, looking over the menu board. ❝ so, tell me ... WHAT'S THE SPECIAL, today ? ❞

UNPROMPTED. ↪ accepting.

❝ mh, see, shouldn't trust rotom phones. ❞ it had been A PRETTY NASTY FALL, she had seen it happen herself; tried to jump over a railing and probably miscalculated, she doesn't know WHAT HE WAS THINKING.

she had to drag him out of the combat zone; of course this shit happens to her. OF COURSE IT DOES. she had complained about it enough while dragging him out.

❝ good news is that you haven't BROKEN ANYTHING, at least. ❞ a pink band-aid is placed on his knee, patching a scrap. she couldn't find more normal ones at this hour. ❝ i'm gonna have to RESET YOUR KNEE though, so maybe keep talking, so it'll hurt less. ❞

❝ you could start by tellin' me WHY YOU DIDN'T TEXT ME BACK. ❞

⛔✅☀️🗡️ - one part being he never let go of getting beat as a grunt defending the base so long ago, second part thankful at the end they were stopped. He’s quite conflicted 🤔

Relationship meme || Accepting

⛔ reluctant friends

✅ enemies to friends

☀️ friends of circumstance

🗡️ one-sided rivalry/grudge

{ ooc. OOOO I AM EYEING THIS SO LOUDLY?? GIVE ME THE (one-sided) ENEMIES TO FRIENDS 🫴

If you mean she specifically defeated him as a grunt, then hell yeah we can incorporate that bit in! And if definitely makes sense why that grudge would be there at first (complicated feelings on his end about flare being stopped aside)

And something something Serena not taking offence to if he's cold/standoffish at the start because Grisham's certainly NOT the first former flare member she's talked to since the geosenge incident— far from it. She's done this song and dance before. If it's something you want to work with we could also incorporate the hcs I have around serena supporting Nouveau Café, but if not there's still that foot in the door to work with for that transition from enemies to friends re: her trying to help former flare members turn a new leaf + doing all she does for Kalos in general 😌 }
