~Chapter 3: Will and Xatu, the Mystic Duo~

~No POV~


Sunlight was slowly fading, casting orange upon the Indigo Plateau. Challenger's never show up once the sun sets, so it was a great time for Will. There was a balcony at the side of the plateau which was big and nicely hidden, perfect for romantic situations.

Xatu's pokeball in hand, Will made his way up the seemingly endless floors, checking to make sure nobody tailed him. He was ready to keep this relationship hidden to avoid further embarrassment. That is why he thought of the balcony; not only is it romantic, it's that none use it.

The esper finally made it up, so he released Xatu from her ball. She gazed at him with adoration.

~Xatu, may we talk?~ Will said using telepathy.

~Yes. I've been wanting to.~ They stared at each other for a long moment, finding difficulty to converse. ~I have saw horrible things in the future, and I'm worried.~ Xatu took a step closer.

~What specifically is worrying you? You know you can tell me.~ His pokemon didn't reply, but instead wrapped her wings around him. Will blushed slightly; he didn't expect this to happen so early, if at all.

~I'm worried for you. Every day, I would see your death, and it haunts me that I cannot protect you from it.~ With a glance to her trainer, the mystic pokemon continued, ~I love you, Will. I've loved you for a long time now, I just haven't confessed earlier because death tormented me.~

Will didn't know what to say. He was amazed that Xatu thought mutual of him! But then he needed to comfort her.

~I have loved you, too. You're the only one I can relate with. I have not told you because I was afraid that you wouldn't like me the same way.~

~I understand. It is not common for a human and pokemon to deeply love each other. There's no mistaking that we're different, but in a way, we're so alike.~ Said Xatu.

The setting sun was visible just over the trees. It soaked her feathers with an orange tint, making her seem like a shiny pokemon. Will's hair and clothes were tinted as well, and the golden buttons on his tailcoat reflected the glow. However described, it both added to their appearance.

~Yes, and would you like to embrace our differences together, and keep this relationship to us only?~ Will asked. Xatu closed her eyes thoughtfully, then nodded. ~Great.~ The psychic master smiled, picking his beautiful bird up into his arms.

~But what of the future, and your death?~

~That does not matter yet. The best thing in life is to live while it lasts. And from this moment on I want to spend it with you, to make you happy. Do you want anything now?~

~Now that you say it, I'd like it if you'd take off your mask.~ Xatu had thrown her wings around Will's neck as he peeled the mask off with one hand. His lilac eyes had never been so bright with completeness as they had now.

~I'll only take this off for you, my dear.~ With that said, the esper planted a soft kiss atop Xatu's beak.


Two. Such an even, happy number. One with the company of another makes two. They are two completely different beings, a pokemon and a human. But no matter what the differences, Will and Xatu are truly the same, and a whole with each other.


~End of Story~

There's really no one that likes the idea of Will x Xatu around here, so I decided to make a fic of them. I made it also to show people that Human x Pokemon are not as bad as it seems. This is set out to be just like any other human x human fic, just with a pokemon.

And sorry it was so short. I'll plan on making longer ones in the future, when I figure out what to do about my other story. :/ Hope you enjoyed.
