Author's Note: This is a story on the relationship of Grovyle and the Human character in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon! Each chapter will have a different scene. If you request a special pairing, or a specific scene, I'll gladly write it. Just add it in the review! :)
a shooting star, a rising hope
all these things tied to a broken rope
Chapter One: That One Story
"Hey, Grovyle, can you tell me that story again?"
He looks at her with yellow eyes, not out of anger, but out of understanding. He understands, too clearly, that she wants to know.
She wants to know what happened in the past, how things happened in the past, and, most importantly, why things happened.
And, because he is Grovyle, the one that used to be her friend, her partner, (and maybe even her soul mate, he hopes); he will tell her the story.
And so he tells the story. Sentence by sentence, word by word. And she listens, intently, with emotions and a face that changes from anxiety to a million different looks.
He will tell the story, of course, but he won't tell her the parts that she doesn't need to remember.
He won't tell her about the times he told her he loved her, or the times she told him she loved him. He has to say that sometimes, telling the story get's old and boring, but he will keep telling it. He will tell it for the sake of her (because that's what he tells himself.)
He will pretend that her memories don't exist anymore, but inside his head, buried deep beneath all that darkness, is a memory so clear and so important that he doesn't even know anymore. One day, though, he'll wake up and it'll rise up, and he will remember, and so will she, about the times they had. He will remember the laughs they shared, tears they cried, and memories they exchanged.
He'll remember it all.
Every time, after he tells the story, she will want another. But, all he can do is extend a hand and take her back to the campsite with her partner.
"I don't know any other ones," he will say.
And he will always say this, even if she will remember.
Note: I have no time to add a second chapter right now, but hold on! The second one will come out soon :)
