Alright, I swear I'm gonna update Someone to Rely on soon as well as some of your ideas as well.

Wallace and Winona's wedding had been very extravagant. The happy couple couldn't stop dancing with one another. It was very clear they had made the right decision to get back together.

Although the best man was extremely happy for them he needed to get a bit of air. He wasn't a big fan of large gatherings and it was getting very stuffy in the room. Steven had just taken a deep breath of the cool Hoenn breeze when he thought he heard someone crying. He frowned and slowly started to head in the direction. Usually, he minded his own business and tried not to get involved in other people's drama but for some reason, he followed the sound.

Steven turned the corner and saw a beautiful blonde woman in a teal dress sobbing into her hands on a bench. He furrowed his eyebrows when he realized it was the Sinnoh Champion. He had never had the opportunity of meeting her since he had walked away from being the champion before he had a chance to encounter her. Wallace had told him about her and how he would set them up, and plan their wedding, but Steven kept denying the offers. The sight of this woman being upset really bothered him, though. He couldn't help but go over to her. "Hey…" Steven said softly slowly approaching her. "I know we don't know each other but I heard you crying and um… wanted to give you some company. You look like you need it."

Cynthia looked up from her hands, that were stained with what used to be her makeup. This night had been absolutely awful. She had been so upset, that she hadn't noticed the blue haired man approach her. Her head snapped when she heard someone talking. Her eyes widened when she saw it was Steven Stone, the former Hoenn champion. Cynthia had seen him during the ceremony but she hadn't expected him to come here of all opportunities. Wallace had been trying to hook them up ever since she first met him. Wallace didn't even stop when she began dating Lance. Maybe he knew it would never end well. "O-Oh…" she sniffled. "I-I'm fine."

Steven raised an eyebrow. "You don't sound like it," he said before sitting next to her. He pulled out a handkerchief from his coat pocket and handed it to her.

Cynthia sighed and hesitantly accepted the handkerchief. "I-I asked my boyfriend to dance with me. Y-You know something most couples do at weddings," she looked away and sighed. "That's when he got all huffy with me for some reason. I asked what I had done wrong cause all I did was ask to dance. L-Lance told me he was so frustrated dating me and admitted to cheating on me. Th-Then he dumped me."

Steven began to fume with anger when he heard the name. He had always hated Lance. When he was the champion, they constantly fought. The man was arrogant and manipulative. How dare he cheat on Cynthia of all people? Steven had kept up with her published historical research and it really impressed him. He knew she was a very intelligent woman and he couldn't believe anyone would cheat on her. His face softened when he realized he'd been scowling. "Sorry, I just really hate Lance already and now I have the urge to punch him in the face again."

Cynthia raised an eyebrow and the corner of her lips twitched up. "Again?"

Steven blushed slightly. He had never been one for physical violence but Lance was a different story. "He was talking down to Diantha one time, because 'she didn't know a thing about being a leader since she was too busy making movies.' She was totally right with what she was talking about too. I got so mad after the meeting I punched him in the jaw."

Cynthia chuckled softly. She could never imagine Steven Stone hitting anyone. "I can't say I don't blame you. He has a very punchable personality."

Steven smiled when she laughed softly. It was very lovely. It was something he wanted to see her do again. Steven had made it his goal to make her laugh again. "Look I know you must feel awful and all but he really is a shitty guy. I've known him for years and every time I try not to hate him I find new reasons to. You can do better. Trust me. Someone like you shouldn't waste their time on guys like him."

Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean someone like me?"

Steven blushed at the situation he had gotten himself in. "Well um… I don't know you just… are very beautiful and I've read your studies and they are groundbreaking and I have so many questions to about them by the way," he rambled realizing he was getting off track. "Did I mention you were beautiful? I mean ummm… You don't need to be with someone so toxic. I might barely know you but I know you deserve better than that."

Cynthia was now the one with crimson cheeks. His words meant a lot to her. Lance never cared for her studies. He always thought they were a distraction from her duties as champion. She smiled softly at him. "Thank you. That means a lot."

The two stared at each other for a few moments before Steven gave her a dashing smile. "You wouldn't happen to still be in the mood for dancing, would you? Because I would be honored to dance with you, Cynthia."

Cynthia smiled wide. Wallace was right, this man was oozing with charm. Her expression faded slightly when she remembered most of her makeup had dripped down her face. "I look like a mess, Steven."

Steven frowned and shook his head quickly. Cynthia still looked incredible even if she resembled an inkblot test. He took his handkerchief and wiped her face of all her runaway makeup. "Beautiful. I promise," He said before gently placing a hand on hers. "Now what do you say?"

Cynthia sighed contently. It should have taken some time for her to get over Lance… but maybe it was because she knew deep down their relationship had been over for a while. She nodded. "I'd love to."

Steven grinned and took them back inside the ballroom. There was an upbeat disco song that he knew Wallace picked because he always played this song. Steven didn't mind though. The song had grown on him. He carefully pulled them to the dance floor and immediately twirled her.

Cynthia couldn't help but giggle as they started to dance. She should have known Steven was going to be an incredible dancer. They continued to dance and sing with each other, having a grand time. She felt relaxed for the first time in a while.

The newly wed couple continued to dance. While her vision was upside down from Wallace dipping her, Winona spotted the blue haired man. "Oh my Arceus, Wallace, look at Steven!"

Wallace had been too distracted by his infatuation with his wife to notice anyone around him. He finally looked away from her and spotted Steven. His eyes widened when he saw Steven dancing, laughing, and singing with the Sinnoh champion. He grinned and felt his eyes water. "This night keeps getting better. I'm so happy."

The song ended and a slower one began to play causing Cynthia to blush. She wasn't sure where they stood and if this would be too sudden.

Before she could do anything he gently placed his hands on her hips and brought her close. "Is this okay?"

Cynthia smiled softly and carefully wrapped her arms around his neck. "Very okay," she whispered. "This night has been incredible. Thank you, Steven."

Steven smiled down at her. "Trust me, you made my night incredible too," he whispered. All he wanted to do right then was kiss her but he figured it was best to give her some time. She had just been dumped after all. Steven didn't mind waiting, though. Cynthia seemed worth it. That was when he noticed the turquoise-haired man and lavender-haired woman staring at him and mouthing for him to kiss her. He blushed and went back to focusing on Cynthia, trying to ignore his pushy friends.

Cynthia raised an eyebrow, noticing he had looked embarrassed. She turned her head and noticed the newlywed couple mouthing something but then stopped when Cynthia looked. They pretended to act like they hadn't been doing anything. Cynthia however, knew exactly what was going on. A smirk crept on her face before she leant up and pressed her lips gently on his. It was a sweet kiss but there was a lot of passion behind it.

Steven's face turned a bright red when he felt her kiss his lips. He was dumbfounded and stunned at what was going on.

Cynthia chuckled at his expression. "Let's just say it was a wedding present," she teased.

Steven finally smiled and softly and nodded. He had really liked the kiss and couldn't stop thinking about doing it again.

Eventually, it was getting late, and most the guests had already left. Steven and Cynthia had danced the entire night. After the last dance they went over to the happily married couple, while Steven had an arm around Cynthia. "Congratulations once again, you two. Have a wonderful time on your honeymoon. Send lots of photos."

Wallace and Winona smirked at the two. "I really want to say I told you so. Please let me," Wallace teased.

Winona chuckled as she leaned into her husband. "Should we be expecting another wedding soon?"

Steven and Cynthia were blushing brightly. They had already planned on hanging out in his hotel room after this so she could show him some of her research she had just done and he could tell her about his. Finally, Steven rolled his eyes. "Have a safe trip you too," He said simply before leading them away.

Cynthia chuckled. "We are never going to hear the end of this."

Steven shook his head. "Never," He agreed as the left the ballroom and started to walk to the hotel.

I might come back to this one. I had a lot of fun with it.
