Chapter 2: N

Touko stared.

And stared.

And stared.

Was it really him? Here? In her bedroom? Is she just imagining things, or is he really real? Touko thought, staring at N, who had gotten taller, and his face was slightly less boyish.

"Erm…hi?" N chuckled slightly, growing worried that Touko hadn't said anything yet.

"...Hi? Hi? HI?! You've been gone three-fucking-years, and all you can say is hi?! God! You are an asshole! Do you know how worried I was?! Not to mention, I only just got my life back on track, and now you just stroll back into it, and saying…fucking…HI?!" Touko screeched, whilst hitting N in the chest, who was rather taken aback by this sudden attack, but then felt guilty about leaving her.

"I'm sorry, Touko, I really am…" N sighed, hugging the now sobbing girl…well, woman now, to his chest.

"Sorry doesn't cut it…those three years were the longest, hardest and most painful years of my life…" she mumbled grumpily into his chest.

"I know, I'm sorry" he whispered into her hair.

"You don't know though. You weren't here, so how could you?"

"I just do" N mumbled, closing his eyes as he breathed in Touko's familiar scent. He didn't know what to do or say to her, to apologise for his three years absence. "I'm really, really sorry…"

"Mmm" she mumbled.

"What can I do to make it up to you?" N asked.

"Promise not to do it again, ever"

"I promise. I have no need to leave Unova, or you again" N smiled.

"Good…what did you do over those three years anyway?" Touko asked.

"I thought, mostly" N sighed.

"About what, can I ask?"

"My father, Pokémon and their relationships with trainers…and you" N told her.

"Me? What about me?"

"Eh…just stuff…" he replied, his cheeks darkening, as he turned away from her. Touko jabbed him in the back.

"Tell. Me. Now" she ordered.

"It's n-not important!" he stammered.

"Oh, so you're saying I'm not important now?!"

"No! You're very important!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"To whom?"

"To everyone!"

"Does that include you, N?"

"Yes! You're very important to me!"

"Am I? How so?" Touko asked slyly.

"Because I…care about you" N said, blushing.

"You do?" Touko asked, resting her hands on his chest.

"Yes…a lot…" he blushed further.

"Well that's good, I care about you too…a lot" Touko told him. N smiled broadly. It was then the two realised their faces were only inches apart. They slowly moved closer together, their lips almost touching-

"TOUKOIHEARDYELLINGWHUTSGOING ON?!" Touko's mom yelled, bursting into the room.

"MOM!" Touko yelled angrily, jumping out of N's arms.

"Ok, who's the guy, why are you in only underwear, and were you two about to kiss?!"

"N, I took off my dress without realising he's here, haven't put any other clothes on yet, and NONE OF YOUR BEES CHEESE!"

"N?" her mom asked. "As in the N?"

"Yes mom" Touko sighed. Her mom shot a glare at N, glad he was back for Touko's sake, but angry at him for leaving her in the first place.

"H-Hello Mrs White" N said timidly, looking at the floor, shifting from foot to foot.

"Hello, N" she replied coldly. "You have a lot to apologise for, young man, my daughter's been through hell the past three years, and at first she was so depressed she couldn't talk…"

"Mom…" Touko sighed.

"...And it took her seven months to be able to smile again, and a year to be able to talk again! Her voice was so dry and quiet and broken…she's only just gotten her life back to the way it was, accepting her role as the Champion of Unova, even trying to date other men to get over you…but she was unable too! She cares for you to much! And you put her, and the rest of Unova through all of that, I hope you know that, N" her mom finished, ignore Touko's protests. N continued to stare at the floor, in pure shame.

"I…I didn't realise…I am so, so sorry, Touko…it won't happen again, Touko, Mrs White" N apologised.

"I had better see you mean it, boy" Touko's mom glared once more, before leaving the two to talk alone.

"Sorry about that N" Touko muttered, not looking at him.

"I deserved it…I truly am sorry, Touko, can you ever forgive me?" N sighed, touching her bare shoulder.

"Perhaps…" she said, putting the t-shirt she went to bed in over her underwear. N sighed.

"By the way, where are you staying, now you're back?" Touko yawned, sitting on her bed.

"…I haven't thought about that yet…I guess I could sleep outside somewhere, nearby though, so I can see-"

"You can take the floor" Touko told him, getting some spare pillows and a blanket out from under her bed.

"Oh! That's not necessary! I don't want to bother you…"

"Tough, you're staying whether you like it or not" Touko smiled slightly at him. N smiled back.

"Would you mind gettin' the lights by the way, N?" she asked.

"Oh, of course" he replied, doing as she asked.

Touko sighed as she crawled into bed. She was glad N was back, and that he was ok, and hadn't forgotten her…but when she heard him crawling into his make-shift bed on the floor, she felt bad for him; it wasn't exactly the nicest thing to do to a man that was trying his best make it up to her.

"N…" she whispered softly into the darkness.

"Touko?" came N's reply.

"You can sleep on the bed if you want, there's room, we'll sleep top-to-tail, ok?" Touko offered him.

"…Are you sure?" N asked.

"Yes"

"Ok" N said, Touko could hear the glee in his voice, and felt her bed sink down as N climbed into it.

"Goodnight Touko" he whispered, giving her leg a squeeze. Touko smiled. He really was back.

"Goodnight, N"
