A/N: Here is the custardshipping fic I mentioned in my last one. I don't really know if this will be just a one/two shot or a multichap, but we shall see. It really depends on how the story flows and if I can put what I have in mind in a few chapters. Before we get started, I would like to point out that I am saying a certain character's POV, but it isn't going to be in first-person, unless you see the "I" pronoun. For example, this first "POV" isn't in first-person. But, it is following Calem. This will also eventually contain smut, so if you don't like yaoi, you might not want to waste your time. Also, I have aged up Trevor a bit just because. If you would like to continue to think of him as a 12-year old, be my guest. But for the purposes of this fic, he is 15. You will see why later on, some of Calem's thoughts would make no sense to describe a pre-pubescent kid. Anyway, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, you don't want to know what I would do with it if I did. =D.
Calem's POV
The sun was just rising over beautiful and quaint Vaniville Town, when the air was split with the roar of a Rhyhorn in pain. Calem jolted up out of bed, startled by the sound produced by his mom's favorite pokemon, and went outside to investigate. He dashed down the stairs, fumbling with his trademark red outdoors cap as he went. He would have to be the one to check on the rhino pokemon, because his mom was out for the day. Throwing open his door, he was not ready for the sight that met him. His close friend, Serena, blonde hair down instead of in her signature ponytail, had her fist raised as if she were about to knock on the door.
"Oh!" Serena exclaimed, startled. "Hello Calem, I was just walking past to get to my house when Rhyhorn bellowed. I don't know what is wrong with her, so I knocked on your door just in case she hadn't woke you up already."
"Thanks for trying anyways," Calem smiled at his friend. "I don't really know much about healing pokemon though, do you know what I should do?"
"Hmmmm," Serena put her right hand on her chin. "I don't either." She gasped. "Wait, I know, we could ask Trevor, he is a very intelligent boy, he might know something!"
Calem blushed at the thought of another one of his friends: Trevor Toroba. He was indeed intelligent, but was also very cute, at least in Calem's opinion. He was just two years younger than himself, sitting at 15 years old, had orange hair that always managed to encase his head like he was wearing a helmet, and beautiful blue eyes.
"Calem!" Serena yelled to get his attention.
"Huh?" The hat-wearing boy jolted back to attention.
"I was saying that I would call him on my Holocaster, why did you zone out?" Serena asked, a bit peeved that he wasn't paying any attention to her.
"I was just thinking about my mom's Rhyhorn," He replied, trying to cover up the fact that as soon as she mentioned Trevor's name he blushed and started daydreaming about him.
"Whatever, I'm gonna call him right now." Serena said in a huff. She called Trevor, who answered after two rings. His hologram came up, and Calem blushed again.
"Do you have a conundrum Serena?" Trevor asked politely. "It is only 7:30 AM, and I have just woken from my nightly slumber."
"Do you happen to have any expertise in healing a Rhyhorn?" Serena asked, getting straight to the point. "Because Calem's Rhyhorn is bellowing, and we don't know what is wrong with her."
The proper boy smiled. "Well I have read a treatise on the proper care of Rhyhorn, when I was researching Rhyhorn Racing, so you could say I know a bit about the subject. I will be right over." He hung up, and Serena turned to Calem, who was still blushing and staring at the Holocaster.
"Calem," it finally dawned on Serena. "Do you have a crush on Trevor?"
"What!" A perky female voice yelled, causing Serena and Calem to jump and turn around. "Calem has a crush on Trevs!"
"No way!" Screamed a much deeper voice. "Calem is gay!"
Calem blushed even harder and looked away from the hyperactive tan brunette, and the husky dancer that completed his quartet of friends. "I don't have a crush on Trevor alright! I'm not gay!" He roared in vehemence, face still a deep red from all the blushing.
"Calm down Cal," Tierno placated. "It's alright to be gay. Heck you can even get married now, thanks to Professor Sycamore and Diantha. We don't mind."
"Yeah Cal," Shauna piped up, swinging her hair from side-to-side. "In fact, I think it is kind of hot." She grinned and subtly low-fived Serena, who had reached one of her hands back for a dap.
"He should be here soon, he doesn't live too far away." Serena looked at her Holocaster to check the time. "We should probably leave those two alone." She said slyly.
"Later Cal!" Shauna and Tierno both shouted again. As they were led away by Serena.
Calem blushed yet again and yelled back at them. "There is no reason for you guys to leave us alone! I don't like him!" His quirky friends just waved back at him.
Trevor's POV
Trevor wasn't really sure why Serena had called him to help take care of Calem's Rhyhorn when they could have taken it to a Pokemon Center, but he was always willing to help a friend in need. Especially if that friend was Calem. He blushed just thinking about the taller trainer. Sable hair that just reached his shoulders, most of the time hidden by a trendy outdoors hat; a handsome countenance and truly dazzling smile; pale skin complimented by gorgeous blue eyes that he just wanted to get lost in and never be found. Calem wasn't just any attractive young man though, oh no. There was also his skill with pokemon. He was a truly amazing pokemon trainer, beating Kalos's Champion Diantha on his first try after blitzing through the Kalos League, Victory Road, and the Elite Four. Not to mention that he defeated Team Flare with the help of Serena, although he took on their leader, Lysandre, himself. Calem was simply awe-inspiring in every way, and Trevor had had a crush on him ever since he had first met him, a day after he had moved to Vaniville Town. He could remember it like it was yesterday…
*Flashback* Still Trevor's POV
He had been sitting around a table in Aquacorde Town, waiting for the new arrival to show up. His friends, Serena, Shauna, and Tierno were also sitting at the café table waiting on the new trainer. None of them had met him yet, but they had been asked by Professor Sycamore to help him out since he was new to the Kalos region. Serena and Shauna, who would be receiving new Pokemon today, patiently waited to choose the partner that would be traveling with them throughout the Kalos region, and who would be by their side for the rest of their lives.
"I wonder what is taking him so long?" Serena huffed, finally starting to lose her patience.
"I'm sure he is preparing to go on his journey Serena, just wait a little longer." Shauna attempted to calm her blonde friend.
"Look I think that is him!" Tierno jumped up and pointed towards the gate that lead to Route 1, which wasn't really much of a route, more of a passage between Vaniville and Aquacorde. It was just opening, and out came a young man with a red hat on. He looked around, and then approached the quartet.
"Hello, are you guys Serena, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor?" He asked politely. Trevor blushed quickly as he came to the realization that the new trainer was a very attractive young man.
"Yes we are, what took you so long?" Serena asked, characteristically blunt.
"I just woke up actually," he replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head with his right arm. "I am a heavy sleeper, and I slept past my alarm clock, so my mom had to wake me up when she noticed that I hadn't left to come meet you guys yet."
"Well anyhow, it is nice to meet you my name is Shauna!" Shauna stood up and hugged the shy trainer, who blushed lightly, embarrassed that she would just hug a complete stranger.
"My name is Calem," the new boy replied with a smile; Shauna's excitement was infectious.
"I'm Serena, sorry for being rude earlier, I am just impatient to get going." The pretty blonde girl extended her hand, which Calem shook, surprised by her firm grip. "I'm anxious to go so that I can work on my dream of becoming the Kalos Champion."
"That's nice," Calem was clearly intimidated by the fiery gaze of the blonde, but Trevor found his reluctance to meet Serena's gaze kind of…cute.
"I'm Tierno," the husky boy stood up and put out his fist for a bump. "I just want to be a professional dancer! But I also love pokemon and am going to enjoy traveling with them. Every pokemon on my team will learn how to dance and we will have a blast!"
"That sounds really cool actually." Calem gave him some fist and smiled again. Oh, Trevor was really loving this boy's smile, and an unfamiliar feeling was causing his gut to twist. What was this boy doing to him?
"Trevs," Shauna tried to get the attention of the spaced-out boy.
"Trevs!" Tierno yelled, but not too loud, as they were in a public place, and Trevor finally was shaken from his musings.
"Oh, sorry my name is Trevor, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance," Trevor managed to put his slightly shaking hand out, hoping that his friends, or Arceus forbid, Calem wouldn't notice that he was very nervous. "My goal is to complete the Pokedex and meet all sorts of new pokemon so that I can study them!"
"That is an interesting goal, are you aiming to be a Pokemon Professor?" Calem asked politely, shaking the intelligent boys hand. Trevor liked the feeling of Calem's larger hand completely encasing his, and held the contact a bit longer than he would usually, basking in the sensation. Calem had withdrawn his hand, then smiled again at him.
"Well who are you going to pick?" Serena asked. He and Calem had been staring at each other for the past few seconds, him blushing a little, while Calem just smiled.
"I'm picking Chespin!" Shauna exclaimed, grabbing up the appropriate poke ball.
"Well, I'm going with Froakie!" Serena shouted happily, grabbing another poke ball.
"I guess I will take this one!" Calem tried to replicate their enthusiasm, but couldn't quite do it, although it had been a nice try.
They had set out on their journeys that same day, sharing many adventures throughout the Kalos region. But it would always be that particular day that stood out in Trevor's mind, because that was the day he realized he had a crush on Calem.
A/N: First chapter type shit. Things will progress quickly, don't worry, but I wanted to lay a bit of groundwork now for things to come. I always liked the idea of Trevor realizing his crush on Calem first, and then Calem gradually growing to like him later on. I dunno why. Same thing with Ruby and Wally. Anyway, follow if you want to see what is going to happen to these two, and hooray for custardshipping. We really need more of this in our lives.
