A/N: Hello again!
...Eheh, so I feel rather sheepish, about leaving you guys with only two chapters of Blood vs. Ice and then disappearing off the face of the internet for six months, but I promise it wasn't without good reason. But I'm back, I'm feeling better (well, better than I have been in a while) and I'm writing again, so expect one or two updates of BvI and daily updates of this during the coming weeks!
So I have for you another A-Z; it's called 'All We Are' after the Matt Nathanson song of the same name, and this time for NamelessShipping. The same rules apply as last time; one a day for the next twenty-six days, 100 words for each person.
This has been betaed by my wonderful ray-of-sunshine friend Laura, so she's there to make sure I update regularly and remember to use punctuation occasionally xD
It's also my birthday today, and it will be the 1st birthday of my fanfiction account tomorrow, so it's rainbows and unicorns all round xD
Okay, rant over, without further ado, I'll shuddup and get on with the story xD
A is for...August
Red
It had been a while since Red had spent a summer with Blue. At least, it felt like a long time; a great deal of distance had opened and closed between them since they last shared each other's company like this.
'Like this' referring to the only way they had ever found to cope with the unbearable Kanto summers; crammed in the shade of Red's front porch. It hadn't always been cramped, more so now they were older, but some things hadn't changed.
"I really hope that's your hair tickling my ear, Red."
Like that old Spinarak nest, for example...
Blue
Blue didn't really like summer. The tourists made it hard to train, the heat meant his Pokémon tired more easily, and spending days in the bright sunlight was just asking for a migraine.
But there were days, when the sun wasn't painfully strong, when Red would drag him out into the world, usually to Seafoam Islands.
Sitting on the flat rocks (free from sand, thank Arceus), watching Red play with Pikachu in the water, while Eevee lay sunning herself beside him, Blue could begin to understand the appeal of summer.
Spending summer with Red?
He could learn to like that.
I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to return to writing, but I'm going to really try to keep a routine, I promise!
Thanks for reading, I'll be back tomorrow with Chapter B, but it's bye from me for now,
-Bug xx
