Rating: N/A
Story Summary: Morty knew that, if he wasn't careful, he would fall in love.
The rain was heavy and the sound of rumbling thunder echoed through the dark clouds that continued to swell up in the atmosphere. Like the trees, helpless under the unrelenting monsoon, Morty felt more vulnerable than ever, for the truth he'd kept hidden for years was now out in the open. Without any sort of vital planning, he had finally confessed his love to Eusine and adrenaline seemed to consume him within seconds. What was going to happen next? The suspense of it all made him want to fall apart, but he had to know something first...
Did Eusine feel the same way?
Blue eyes were wide, mouth slightly agape, and no immediate response was made. Nothing happened between the two young men for a few seconds, and then something clicked within Eusine. The adventurer took hold of Morty's hand before anything could be made clear, pulling him up from where they were sitting without a single word or warning. Into the rain they went from there, leaving the dry porch behind as confusion crashed over Morty like the sky's shower.
What was going on? This was odd, even for someone as eccentric as Eusine.
It wasn't until they met the forest's edge that they came to a halt, Eusine facing Morty with a peculiar look about him that hinted he had something planned. Morty couldn't make out what that was, but he had no need for guesswork when a pair of wet lips pressed against his own, spiking the rate at which his heart was beating. The storm around them suddenly didn't exist; all that Morty could register was the spontaneous feeling of lightness in his head and an overwhelming sense of relief.
Short but sweet, the kiss ended almost as soon as it began, being interrupted by Eusine's voice. He sounded breathless, and he didn't even try to hide the fact that he was pleasantly shocked as he said "me, too" over the sound of swaying tree-branches. He was sure of his words and there was not a single doubt in his mind, especially after witnessing the smile on Morty's face that followed. He couldn't keep himself from pulling the blond into a close embrace, wrapping his arms tightly around him as he buried his face in a mess of wet hair.
They stayed like that for countless seconds, completely content in soaked clothes.
In Morty's world, things didn't happen fast. He lived his life maintaining a steady pace, yet here he was finding so much fulfillment outside of his element. It made him want to take risks more often, and so he pulled away from Eusine just enough to bring him into a second kiss- one that was charged full of all the pent-up emotion he had been harboring towards the young man since the day they met. Morty may never truly see himself becoming a wild and reckless individual, but it felt nice making a change for once.
It felt nice no longer being safe and hopeless.
When all was said and done, Eusine let a lop-sided grin linger on his face as they sauntered slowly back to the welcoming abode that belonged to Morty. Lightning continued to grace the atmosphere with it's presence, but that wasn't enough to speed up their steps.
"So, be truthful. What made you want to come out here and risk ruining your suit?" asked Morty boldly. He knew Eusine was picky about his clothes and how they got 'washed.' It was very unlike him to face the rain without some kind of shield.
Eusine had no choice but to be raw and honest. "You confessed to me and it was completely unexpected... so I felt like I needed to return that favor and do something unexpected, too. I hope it wasn't too over-the-top." He was a little embarrassed, but there was no need to fret. Morty was holding his hand and everything was right in the world. Plus, sharing their first kiss by the forest was something he'd always wanted to do.
"It was perfect," the blond young man replied simply. "You really know how to make an impact." That was true; Eusine had been making impacts on him for years. In fact, that was probably his greatest talent.
A giggle escaped Eusine's lips and he gently squeezed his partner's hand. "I could say the same about you. All this time, I thought I'd be the one confessing first. I'd been putting it off until the perfect moment, but you really surprised me. I guess 'perfect moments' don't need to be planned after all," he declared, feeling more alive than ever.
Morty couldn't agree more. He always admired how Eusine always knew the right things to say... nine times out of ten, that was. Then, their conversation took a rather interesting turn.
"On another note," began the Suicune-hunter, briefly scaling the porch's steps. "I wonder what fate has in store for us when we have to take these wet clothes off."
