Hey! It's my first fanfiction of Franticshipping. I can't tell how much i ship this two.
I've been shipping them from the very first time i play Sapphire, and now I came to play OmegaRuby and got the sudden urge to write a story about them. I can't help but throw my ideas to my laptop and hoped for the best. And yes, I'm still going to continue all my other fics. It's just, the idea of RuSa are tempting to be typed down ;)
This story has connection to both the PokeSpe manga and the OmegaRuby gameplay. It's a mix tbh. It happens around the time delta episode finishes, before they go to the Mossdeep Space Center for the Star Show. From the newest chapter (cp 16 and it's still raw, i found it on a pokemon website) we can conclude that sapphire found out Ruby was planning to take care of the meteorite on his own, riding a finally calmed down Rayquaza (you can read wikia if you're confused, just look up for Ruby's information.) We don't know what's going to happen between the two, so I'm just going to be super imaginative about it. From the game we can see that the protagonist managed to crush the meteorite and saved everyone, so i'll take inspirations from that.
I was thinking about making a HoennShipping fic (BrendanxMay) but I discovered that FranticShipping (RubyxSapphire) is much cuter. And in this verse, they've been dating for around 3 months. True that I haven't mastered Sapphire's way of talking. So forgive me if she seems out of OC ;-; I did try my best though.
rated M for upcoming chapters.
I DO NOT OWN POKEMON.
Developing ; Chapter 1.
The hot spring releases huge amount of steam. Aside from its Gym, Lavaridge is known for its famous hot spring in Hoenn. And so it attracted the couple who just finished their biggest battle against the Meteorite disaster that happened not quite a long ago. Ruby managed to convince Rayquaza to lend him its power, allowing it to mega evolveーwith a little help from Zinnia, of course, and crushed the Meteorite into pieces that surely won't harm humanity anymore.
Where's our hero who saved the day right now? Yes, he's currently resting his head against the rocks just around the corner of the male's Hot Spring in Lavaridge Town, accompanied by his one and only, Sapphire, on the other side of the hot spring, separated by a wall made of logs. True that they've been dating for about 3 months right now, but it seems like they made no development within their relationship, at least that's how Sapphire thought. The brunette, sat in the middle of the female's part of the Hot Spring, drowning half of her face to the water, muttering.
Rather than irritated, she looks flustered. She's been keeping the complain of the not-so-different-relationship-change between her and her boyfriend. All they've been doing was nothing but holding hands, and Sapphire would always have to be the one who triggers it.
Ruby was so passive and busy, he barely make a move on her. But she let that thought slip through since her boyfriend is the famous Pokemon Coordinator, leaving him busy chasing contests here and there, and the only time they had their date was their journey to the Mirage Island. She makes small bubbles float to the water's surface, mumbling to herself.
The other reason she let it slip through was because finally, for the first time in forever, the raven hair asked her first to accompany him to the Mossdeep Star Show. Excited? Of course. Curious? Much likely. Nervous? Absolutely. It all happened before the meteorite disaster but her heart is still pumping like crazy.
She can't help but think why on earth would the charmer asks her first? Sure, the ticket is expensive and his father, Norman, gave it to him. It was just confusing much for her since Ruby is not usually like this. She did forgave him for hiding the fact that the earth might happen to face its apocalypse for the reasonable argument that Ruby gave her. She knew she had no chance to win against him. Not that she's okay being lied to, or even left behind. She's just glad that Ruby made it to crush the meteorite and back to Hoenn safely, and that's all she cares aboutー until now.
She's more nervous than ever. It's her first date where her lover asked her first, and she can't even tell if she's scared or vibrant and excited. She's calculating of whatever kind of even that might occur. She got drowned in her own thoughts until she realizes the sun was nearly about to set, which is her timer to finish her ponder and get ready to the Mossdeep Space Center. It must be around 4 right now. She then slowly stand up, creating water ripples and splashes all over her. She finally sighs while making her way to the changing room.
Just about the Pokemon Center's exit, she recognizes a figure that's currently seating, leaning to the wall while shutting his eyes. Sapphire walks slowly approaching him, admiring his sleeping face. "He must be really tired." She whispers. No matter how soft her breath is, Ruby reacts fastly and opens his eyes, causing the brunette to gasp a bit. "You done?" he asks.
".. Soz to keep ye waitin." She replies, walking closer. The charmer then stands, patting his bottom and tightening his bag and belt. He looks fresher after the hot spring. His small bruises were still visible, though. That's the guy who just smashed the meteorite into small pieces to you, and he's currently smiling nonchalantly. "Shall we?"
They exit the Pokemon Center and stare at the sky that's gradually losing its blue, growing to red. Ruby takes Sapphire's hand softly, pulling her next to him. They walk for a bit until they got out from the town's territory, revealing a wide meadow. Ruby then let go of his hold and checks his PokeNav, reading the town's map. "Going with Fly will be so much faster, can your Troppy lend us a hand?" without hesitation, the brunette whistles loudly until a glimpse of huge flying Pokemon approaches them, and Troppy lands, roaring for a bit.
"Ya heard him, fella. Mossdeep's our destination." She says to the Tropius while stroking its neck. It replies with a certain nod and bows down to allow them to ride him. Sapphire steps back and give Ruby the privilege to take on him first, only to be rejected politely by his boyfriend-instinct. "After you." He says with a grin, causing the brunette to giggle. "Really?"
She then climbs up to reach Troppy's neck to hold on, her boyfriend carefully follows her. He only give a little gap around her back and his chest, and he wraps his hands around her waist protectively, leaning closer to her. Sapphire, on the other hand, blushed by this. Did a meteorite hit his head?
Troppy slowly ascends, flapping his wings, until they're finally away from the land. The sky around that time surely is beautiful, when a lot of flying types Pokemon soar to another way. The journey to Mossdeep didn't take them long since they're standing near the shore around the city right at the moment. When the raven stands on both feet on the sand, he holds Sapphire's hand to let her get off the Pokemon safely.
"Thanks Troppy." She says as Troppy nods and smiles, leaving them. Ruby examines his surroundings and the sky, trying to guess what time is it by then. The brunette walks approaching him with a smile. "We got here faster than expected." she exclaims.
"Yeah. The show is still around an hour away. Why don't we take a stroll first?" The raven gestures her to follow him, pointing at the shore. She skips happily beside him. They are currently walking side by side, accompanied by the silence and the beautiful view just by the shoreline, where the sun nearly sets. After about half an hour of walking and talking, they stopped at a certain spot. They then sit on the sand for a while, watching the sun sets. Sapphire got herself mesmerized. Her eyes sparkle. "It's so wonderful." She says, hugging both her knees. Ruby, sitting next to her, tilted his head. "Mhm." he replies.
"Y'know Ruby, it's thanks to ya that I still got the chance to watch the sun sets once again." She smiles softly to her lover, causing the latter to blush and smiles awkwardly. "err.. yeah. It's no big deal."
"Showing off." She scoffs, teasing him. He just replied with a small smile. Deep inside, he still feel guilt stabbing his chest for lying to her. All he ever wanted was to keep her safe, and he thought keeping it for his own was the best thing, so that Sapphire wouldn't be involved. But he knew that he's definitely wrong. He then gulps, gathering courage to open his mouth as few sentences were about to slip out.
"Sapph, I'm sorry." he speaks, making the brunette adverts her sight from the sun, and now watches him as he begin speaking. She's confused, though. "For..?" she inquires.
"The thing before.. I guess I didn't apologize properly." He pauses, staring at the brunette. His crimson eyes were so sharp, Sapphire didn't take a glance away. "I.. I was thinking.. If I could end the disaster on my own, you won't be exposed to any harm. And I thought me myself was enough. The truth is, I underestimated you. You're far stronger than who you used to be, and I should have let you aid me. Because you're capable of much more than I thought."
Sapphire listens to him wholeheartedly, keeping her mouth shut, not wanting to cut him. She's confused at first, but the more she thinks, the more she realizes that his explanation does make sense, and it's not her right to remain angry. "I promise I won't do the same. I've got my karma, being nearly crushed by Rayquaza." He chuckles, the brunette follows.
"H-hey, it's not like yerself to blurt those out loud. Where's tha prideful Ruby that I know?" she jokingly laughs, teasing the raven.
"I am willing to throw them aside, if it's for you." He says. "After all, you're really precious for me, and you changed me. I can't let you down with my pride, right?"
Sapphire flusters, her cheek burns by the heat, slowly turning red, until it's left with deep crimson. She's certain that Ruby must be hit by a meteorite on his way back to earth, or Rayquaza could have hit his head real hard that he became like this. "Okaaay… yer startin' to creep tha hell outta me, Ruby.." she replies, feeling embarrassed. Ruby, on the other hand, laughs. Seeing her awkward acts sure worth his time.
"I was just thinking about several things, that we can't act just as far as we used to. I mean, you're my girlfriend, and we're defiantly dating right now." he explains, causing the brunette to blanks out. "I think we can… you know, develop? Act more like a lover, go out with dates, and… cross the friend boundary?" He asks, while facing the sun. This sure is what she's been waiting for, an aggressive Ruby. He's been attacking her for a while, and she doesn't know how to act towards his honest side. He just stares at her and smiles endearingly, making her feels comfortable and ease just by seeing his eyes. His sideburns flow by the soft wind, making his hat ruffles.
He rests his chin on his hand. After a few moments of silence, he peeks from his eye corner, where Sapphire notices. The space between them were about inches away. He then slides closer to her, his left arm grabs her waist. "I love you, Sapphire."
Sapphire turned her head, still blushing, to see that he's currently so close to her. She can feel his breath against her nose, and his eyes were so deep she almost got drowned in them. "I-I.." She breaths slowly, feeling his arm wrapped around her, while the other grabs her red cheek. He pulls her head closer, gradually shutting his eyes as the gap between them diminished.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" Ruby teases and she blushes furiously. She shuts her eyes while letting out her thought. "I love ya too, idiot!"
She lessens her grip to her knee and grabs Ruby's chest. The raven moves even closer. "Can I?" he inquires.
She remains silent, slightly nodding. She feels her heartbeats. Her hand also feels her boyfriend's heartbeat and they're currently in sync. Ruby, feeling confirmed, pulls her head even closer until the tip of her lips touch his. He finally closes the gap and their lips meet. He tightens the lips, locking hers. It's very effective! Both Sapphire's eyes are closed, letting all her senses feel the pressure Ruby gives on her lips. His lips are so soft that she pushes herself a bit, wanting to feel more. The sun sets just by their very first kiss. Ruby, with his eyes slightly opened, nearly blushing, still grabbing her warm cheeks pulls away softly. Their lips slowly part. "Too bad it's almost the time." he smirks while staring at her face, feeling satisfied.
"!" Sapphire gives an annoyed look while blushing madly, as the raven stood up, patting his bottom. She's about to complain until he reaches out his hand, wanting to help her to get up. "Come on, we can get to that later. You don't want to miss the show, do you?" She then pouts, reaching his hand and grabs it, standing up and do the same thing to her sand-covered bottom. She's now walking on his lead, mumbling to herself. She's clearly having several feelings battling inside her head. One of them is happiness, while the others are plain pride.
She's clearly pleased by the fact that she finally had her very first kiss with her first love, Ruby, for the first time in her entire life, on a very special date where Ruby became somehow aggressive, all of sudden. But on the other hand, she feels discontented, tricked, for falling to one of Ruby's traps. 'Why in tha world would i feel unsatisfied?' she wonders.
The Star Show finally ended. Back there Sapphire enjoyed the beautiful view of the falling stars. The stars weren't as few as they expected, probably thanks to Ruby and Rayquaza who crushed the meteorite few hours ago. But the show lasted longer than they expected, it's nearly midnight by now. They exit the Space Center and start walking down to the shores. Ruby agreed to himself that it's way too late to go home now since Mossdeep is so faraway from Littleroot, and so did Sapphire. Their secret base aren't anywhere near Mossdeep, for there aren't lots of bases available here. And the nearest place to spend the night is at the Lilycove, for there's a motel there. He lets out his idea and Sapphire just agreed with him, probably tired from the long day they've been through.
Troppy makes his way again to fly all the way to Lilycove. This time Ruby takes the lead and sits in front of Sapphire, whose hands are tightening around his waist. By their journey, Sapphire gulps as she compiles the guts to express her gratitude. "Hey, thanks for tha, uhh.. Ticket." she manages to speak as the night wind passed by them while they're soaring the night sky. They were accompanied by the beautiful moonlight. "T'was beautiful." she continues. Ruby chuckles, snickering a bit. "you know, lately you started to sound just like me." The brunette raises her eyebrow, a sign of confusion indeed. "Beautiful this, beautiful that, they don't suit you." he teases.
Sapphire glares at him (which is futile, for she's sitting behind him) and hits his back. The raven shrieks. "Ouch! I was joking." The brunette remains silence, leaning down to his back. Ruby smiles to this. Even after all this time she can still smell his peculiar scent that never fails to make her feel safe everytime. It didn't take long until they arrived at Lilycove. The city was filled with lights, and Ruby leads their way to the motel. By their walk, Sapphire entwines her fingers tightly to him, as if she doesn't want to let go. He smiles to this. They surely got more intimate than before, and it makes both of them happy. When they reaches the motel, they're welcomed.
As they speak to the Innkeeper, Ruby orders two room. Sapphire somehow, feels a little bugged by this. They were used to spend the night together in the base, but now he ordered a different room? And note that she's not really fond of being alone, on top of that, with her boyfriend along.
"But unfortunately, there's only one room left." the Innkeeper says, causing both to gasp and blush at the same time.
There you go! I guess it's really bad, eh? ;v;
I hope you dear readers would care to drop some reviews, or even inputs for the upcoming chapter.
