Sweet Cake for an Idol

By Warrior Seadra


"Ah, Adrian!" A pink haired girl wearing a white hat waves from a small table.

Adrian smiles as he locks eyes with her.

The girl excitedly moves to stand from her seat, but stops herself midway. With an expression of realisation, she sinks down into her seat while lowering her head. She tugs on the rims of her hat attempting to cover her face as she blushes a light shade of red.

Adrian suppresses a laugh as he approaches the girl, "Sorry Yancy, did you wait long?"

"Oh, no." Yancy shakes her head slightly, immediately looking to Adrian. Beaming, she continues, "I just got here a few minutes ago, really."

"So, what was the mystery cake you mentioned the other day?" Adrian asks as he seats himself across from the girl.

"It was this one." Yancy points at a picture in a menu laying on the table, "'Dulce de Leche.' Do you want to try it?"

Adrian grins, "I've been curious ever since you mentioned it."

As Yancy giggles, a waiter approaches and takes their orders.

"You know, it's weird." Adrian comments. "I never really liked eating cake, or anything sweet for that matter. But I've been really craving it since coming to Unova."

"Really?" Yancy gasps. With a bright smile, she say "Then let's come back for some more cake soon."

Adrian agrees with a smile, causing Yancy to blush.

The waiter returns and serves the two teen their slices of cake and tea.

Adrian bites into his cake and carefully chews. Making a serious expression by narrowing his eyes, he swallows.

"You... don't like it?" Yancy asks. With a worried expression, she passes Adrian his tea cup, "Here, maybe some tea will wash down the taste."

Adrian shakes his head while accepting the tea cup. He takes a sip and sets down the cup. Grasping it within both hands, he gives a melancholic smile. "No, it's good... It's just... this is a pretty common flavour in Kanto." Wearing a distant expression, Adrian purses his lips.

"You've mentioned... that's your home region." Yancy pauses to consider her words, "You first found my xtransceiver a little more than a month ago and we've been in touch ever since. It must have been even longer since you've arrived. After being away form home for so long, you really do start feeling homesick."

Looking into his cup, Adrian feels a warmth spread through his hand. Seeing a small, white hand on top of his, he looks to Yancy who blushes furiously as she turns away. As the warmth from her hand sooths his grip over the tea cup, Yancy continues by quickly saying, "But, you'll se-see them real soon, ri-right? Once the League competition starts, they'll be coming to ch-cheer for you, won't they?"

Adrian shrugs, "I'm not actually here to challenge the League. Truthfully speaking, the other day I was getting ready to save the world. Then, next thing I know, I'm waking up in some underground lab. Seeing how everything still exists, I can only assume my friends succeed without me."

"Pff-" Unable to hold her laughter, Yancy bursts out. Tears roll down her cheeks as she clutches her stomach.


A/N: This is short, one shot. I'm trying to clear the phone call side quest on B2 and in one of the phone calls, Yancy talks about a cake shop with a mysterious flavour. Needless to say, that was all the inspiration needed to write this scene between her and Adrian. I hope you all like it. Please let me know what you think below with a review.
