Only five to go! It's been harder to get stuff written down, so I think I'm gonna do the last five from a series I've already written for this month.
"So, Satoshi, what's it like to be the prince of the whole Poke world?"
"I dunno. I've only been a prince for, I dunno, ten years now?"
"But what's it been like? I've been one all my life, so I'm only asking because I'm curious."
"So have I, but I had no idea."
"You know what I mean."
"Yeah, I do."
Twenty-year-old Satoshi and twenty-one-year-old Shigeru were standing on the balcony of the castle. Everyone had since married and had mostly moved.
Takeshi and Kasumi had moved to the Johto region. Shu and Haruka had gone to Hoenn. Kengo and Hikari had left for Sinnoh. Dento and Iris relocated to Isshu. Citron and Serena migrated to Karosu. Masato and Eurika were planning to move to the Orange Archipelago. Satoshi and Shigeru stayed in Kanto, though. Besides, Satoshi was the proper prince of the Kanto region. Well, he was actually the prince of all of the countries and Shigeru was the prince of Kanto, but that was another story.
Satoshi readjusted his crown out of nervousness.
"I still wanna know what it's like. Won't you tell me?" Shigeru asked while batting his eyes at the younger male.
"Since you asked it that way," Satoshi complied. "Uh, I feel the same as before, to be honest. But, the power of the whole Pokeworld scares me a little."
"Really?"
"Really."
"How does it scare you?"
"It's that thing of I have the power to completely change a rule that could drastically change everything."
"But you don't have to do it alone."
"I know I know, but I still don't like the idea."
"If you married someone, wouldn't they share the power with you?"
"Shigeru, you and I have been married for two years. You tell me."
"Hmm, you're smart."
Satoshi outright laughed. "Like we didn't know this before."
"Shut up."
Satoshi giggled and nuzzled closer to Shigeru.
"It's alright," Satoshi replied. "You're my partner. You help with everything I can't do alone."
"That's right," Shigeru said, his chest puffing out with pride.
Satoshi rolled his eyes and stretched to his tippy toes to give Shigeru a peck on the lips.
"I love you."
"I love you too. More than you'll ever know."
"I think I already know. I can still feel it."
Shigeru flushed bright red at the thought.
"W-well, I, uh," he stuttered before simply burying his face into Satoshi's shoulder.
"Breathe, babe, breathe," Satoshi replied.
"Smartass."
"I can assure you, my ass is not smarting."
Satoshi got a wack in the back of his head, but it was worth it to see Shigeru smile.
"So, why are you so afraid of having a lot of power over the Pokeworld?" Shigeru asked softly.
"I'm just not used to it, I guess. You've been a prince all your life, waiting to be king. But, I was so poor before, it's all new to me. I remember my parents, but I don't remember the lifestyle, ya know?"
"Yeah. What were they like? Your parents?"
"Well, they were rivals when they were younger. They married and had me."
"But how were they the rulers of the Pokeworld? The rulers were two men, Red and Green."
"That's right. They were my parents. Don't question it."
"Who was who?"
"Red was my mom and Green was my dad. Green actually looked a lot like you, if you can believe it."
"Really?"
"Mmmhmm."
Shigeru let out a soft, content sigh before guiding Satoshi inside. They could talk about it later.
Ugh, it looks so confusing. Go on and hate on me in the reviews. I'll take them like the woman I am.
