Johto hadn’t changed much from when she left for Sinnoh. Save for the location of one of her dearest friends who now resided in Blackthorn instead of Newbark Town. Lyra takes a small breath before knocking on the door, worried he might be out. It was the afternoon, and she planned to surprise him with not only a present, but a long overdue visit.
There’s movement on the other side of the door, and when it opens up, silver meets brown, and she gives him a warm smile. “Hey Silver, long time no see right?"
Before he can say anything, she holds up a gold gift bag. Inside it is a luxary ball with an absol inside. "Happy Birthday Silver!”
----------------------------------
He wouldn’t let with Lyra or Gold know that due to them consistently choosing to celebrate his birthday, it actually made his heart warm. So naturally at first he was disgusted that they could get such a weakness from him, yet he also enjoyed the feeling of being thought of and enjoyed for simply existing. Every year they did they, they actually provided him something every year that he doubt they understood.
Their kindness to him was like salve to his soul, healing his rugged heart with every small gesture of acceptance. The fact they choose to keep doing this, after he told them they were under no obligation or expectation, reinforced his bond with them even if he hated to admit. He wasn’t cheap, he couldn’t bought so easily, yet he’d be lying if he said he felt nothing toward their gesture.
“Thank you for the gift. It has been awhile, but I’m sure we’ll be playing catch up today with Gold.”
He knew by now that wasn’t all that was in store for him when it came to those two. He called out the gift pokemon, seeing it was an Absol with a beautiful white coat and sharp red eyes. The blade like horn on it’s head catching his eye and making him smile in approval.
