“Love blooms in the in-betweens.”

She never understood what her mother meant by that. When she asked for clarification, she usually got that universal bane of all children: “You’ll understand when you’re older.”

But once, just once, her mother gave her a little more insight. “It’s natural to focus on the bloom,” she said, looking at a fresh juniberry in her hand. “The radiant color of the spores in the sunlight. But that’s not what makes the flower grow. It needs the stem and the leaves and the golden swaechaelm.” And she’d smiled at her. “Like with love.” She looked out over the Blossom Canyon in full bloom and said, “We look at the field and our eyes see the spores, but not the plant itself.”

She thought she’d got it then. She thought she’d understood.

But she didn’t fully realize until Shiro.

He wasn’t one for grand gestures. Maybe he was, and the war prevented him. But, in any case, he didn’t come to her with an impassioned love confession, desperate and pining. There wasn’t time for that.

It was a collection of little things: 

His hand on her shoulder when she was sad. The way he held her hand and urged her to rest. The softness in his voice when he said, “Yes, Princess.” His smile when it was only the two of them. How often he’d stand beside her, when there was no need for him to do so.  The juniberry made of folded paper that appeared on her vanity. The extra portion of nutrien and a surprise mug of kava, made just the way she liked it. 

It was the little moments, in between all the plans and the missions and the battles. It was the care, the attention to what she wanted and needed, the support that he gave her. 

All of this was what made love bloom in her heart, what brought her lips to his.

Shallura Week 2020

Day 6: AU Day

Shiro and Allura as Pokémon Trainers with Little Cup Teams, plus a couple of mysteriously attached Legendaries.

Reasoning:

Litten, a Fire type, and (Shiny) Oshawott, a Water type, were picked as starter Pokémon for their complementary color schemes.  Color continuity also heavily influenced the following choices.

Sky: Gligar. "It builds its nest on a steep cliff." "It sails on the winds with its limbs extended to strike from the sky."  Ground/Flying type. Stars: Cleffa, the Star Shape Pokémon, "believed to be a star reborn." "On late nights illuminated by shooting stars, it gazes intently skyward, as if thinking of its home." Fairy type. Wings: (Shiny) Galarian Farfetch'd. "The stalk this Pokémon carries in its wings serves ... to cut down opponents." "The Farfetch'd of the Galar region are brave warriors ..." Fighting type. Bloom: Flabébé (Red Flower), the Single Bloom Pokémon. "It draws out and controls the hidden power of flowers." "Flabébé wears a crown made from pollen it's collected from its flower. The crown has hidden healing properties." Fairy type. Moon: Chinchou, a Pokémon of distance and duality, it discharges "positive and negative electricity between ... its two antennae ..." It is only found on the "dark ocean floor ..." where it "lives ... beyond the reach of sunlight" and humanity. Water/Electric type. Sun: Deerling, Spring form. Once Spring begins, the length of time the sun stays in the sky begins to increase. Deerling possesses the Chlorophyll ability, which raises its speed in harsh sunlight. Normal/Grass type.

Dark: Noibat. "They live in pitch black caves." and "After nightfall, they emerge from the caves they nest in ..." Flying/Dragon type. Light: Fomantis. It can only evolve during the day. "During the day, Fomantis basks in sunlight ... " Grass type. 

Horizon: (Shiny) Entei. It resembles a lion. "Unable to restrain its extreme power, it races headlong around the land." A roaming Pokémon in the games, it never stays in the same place for long, running at incredible speed around the region. Fire Type. Beyond: Suicune. It was once resurrected after the burning of its home. "Suicune embodies the compassion of a pure spring of water. It runs across the land with gliding elegance. It has the power to purify dirty water." Water type.
