Chapter 4: Snuggles
"T-thank you Kris, I…I feel more relaxed now…where did Vee go by the way?" Red asked.
"You're welcome Red, compassion is something a relationship needs. As for Vee, he bolted upstairs once he heard the thunder." I said as Vee came back downstairs with Red's blanket that it was carrying over its body.
'Red, I brought this blanket for you since you looked tired." Vee said as Red happily took the blanket and wrapped it around himself.
"Thanks Vee, hopefully I don't fall asleep too soon, Kris and I haven't gotten to chat yet!" Red said with a chuckle.
'Ooh, in that case, I'll be…right here, when you do fall asleep Red, just let Kris help you to bed, sounds like it'll be romantic if you ask me.' Vee said as it jumped on Red's lap and laid down.
"What a sweet Pokémon, Red, are you excited for tomorrow? It'll be your birthday in a few hours!" I said as Red smiled.
"I certainly am excited! There was something I was contemplating though…do you think we should call Blue and Green and inform them of what Yellow and Gold did to us? I feel like it would be good to let them know, especially since Gold and Yellow went into their Gym earlier." Red said.
"Letting them know is a great idea, especially if they try anything funny." I said as Red took out his Pokégear and called Green who picked up after a few rings.
"Red?! Yellow was worried about you! Where have you been?" Green asked.
"Hi Green, I'm good, I was enjoying myself today. Is Blue nearby?" Red asked.
"Blue? Yeah she's watching one of her recorded episodes of Diamond and Pearl's comedy show, how come?" Green asked.
"Well…Kris and I have something important to tell you. It's rather urgent, so can you please get her to pause the show and have her listen in to what we have to discuss?" Red asked.
"Sure Red, I'll let her know…Blue, can you come over here? Red and Kris need to talk with us about something urgent!" Green yelled as we both heard Blue come over.
"Hi Red, hello Kris! How's it going? What did you want to talk about? We were very concerned about you two, we closed up the Gym to look for you guys but couldn't find you two anywhere!" Blue said.
"Hi Blue, we're sorry about making you two worry, we wanted to discuss about today…I was wondering if Yellow or Gold stopped by the Pokémon Gym today?" Red asked.
"They certainly did, both Yellow and Gold came into the Gym and were asking if we knew where Kris was since they hadn't seen her at all today. What happened?" Green said as Red took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"Don't worry Red, I'm here for you." I said as Red relaxed.
"Awww, so sweet! Wait…that would be something Yellow might say…why is Kris being even more endearing to you than she normally is?" Blue asked as I blushed.
"Well..today…Kris was planning for my birthday and she wanted it to be special. However, she couldn't think of any ideas despite her being so intelligent, so she called Gold and Yellow and neither of them picked up. Kris then figured that she would call Silver, who told her that Yellow might be sick. After Kris went over to Yellow's house…she saw Gold and Yellow making out." Red said.
"That's…that's awful! We're sorry that happened to you guys, I can't even imagine the devastation you two must feel." Green said.
"We're not devastated anymore, are we, Kris?" Red asked.
"No we aren't, the good thing is that Red and I are much happier together compared to being with them." I said.
"Good! Those two are horrible for doing that to you guys! The undefeated Champion of Kanto and Johto and the beloved researcher and Capturer for Professor Oak! Hmm…that'll be good for your wedding invitations!" Blue said as Red and I both blushed.
"W-well, Blue, we figured telling you and Green would be a good idea since Yellow and Gold are going to be at my party tomorrow. You know they'll just barge in if we didn't invite them." I said.
"Good point, everyone's parties are held at their houses so I could see them trying to crash the party if they weren't invited to begin with." Green said.
"Yeah, they're going to make it seem as if they're still together with us and they're not actually seeing each other. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, we were actually contemplating telling all the other Pokédex holders, but my Pokégear can't call them and we both assumed it might isolate them from the others." Red said.
"I know what you mean, is there anything else you wanted to discuss with us?" Blue asked.
"Nope, that's it. Thanks for listening guys, I'll see you tomorrow, good night!" Red said.
"Good night you guys!" Green said.
"Good night, oh and Kris, make sure to snuggle really close to Red tonight, I can tell that you took away the pain he was feeling today." Blue said as she giggled.
"W-what?! Good night Blue!" I said as I hanged up.
After doing so, Red and I looked at each other and laughed quietly, listening to the rain pounding on the rooftop.
"Kris, I have an idea, how about you and I sit down on that plush chair and talk to each other until one of us falls asleep?" Red asked as he showed me a soft looking loveseat in the kitchen, with a small table next to it.
"That's a great plan! I really admire your décor, it's really simple and nice." I said as Red picked up Vee as we walked over to the loveseat, moving the table aside as we sat down and put the blanket over us.
"Thank you, I do what I can. So Kris, what's your favorite region to visit?" Red asked.
"Hmm, I think the Hoenn region is really great, I love how beautiful the climate is there." I said.
"Good choice, it really is a nice region, the people there are friendly too. I was wondering something, is there anything in particular that makes you like me?" Red asked.
"Well for me, I love your kind heart, your smile, the way you laugh, how you're such a great battler…the list goes on and on!" I said as we both chuckled softly.
"Aw, thank you Kris, that really means a lot coming from you. You've always been near and dear to me, especially because of today." Red said as I moved a little closer to him.
"Good, I'm glad I made today better for you. Now I have a question for you, what is it that you like about me?" I asked as Red blushed.
"What's not to like? You're an amazing person, you're smart, brave, kind. Plus, you've got some leg muscles that would make a Machamp jealous!" Red said as it was my turn to blush.
"Thank you Red, usually people make fun of me for my leg muscles. You're the first person who doesn't think that my leg muscles make me a freak or something." I said as I hugged Red.
"No problem, it's sad that people feel the need to pick on you." Red said as another loud boom of thunder echoed, this time, sending the house into darkness.
"Don't worry Red, I'm not leaving your side." I said as Red held me close.
'Sorry for interjecting, Red, Kris, I'll get the Pokémon from upstairs, you two should stay here where it'll be more safer.' Vee said as he ran upstairs.
"Kris…I think we should call everyone nearby to see how they're doing, including Gold and Yellow. This storm is getting ferocious." Red said as he took out his Pokégear.
"Good idea, I'll call Lyra and see how she is. Silver is probably still with her." I said as I called Lyra, hoping she would pick up, while Red called Green.
After a few rings, Lyra picked up, though Red was having no success in contacting Green.
"Hi Lyra, are you and Silver okay? This storm is pretty serious, do you guys have power at your place?" I asked.
"Hi Kris, we're doing fine, the rain is really coming down hard though. It's a bit scary, but Silver and I were making some food for Red." Lyra said.
"I understand, hope you guys stay safe. Sorry to disturb you guys, I'll see you two tomorrow. Bye!" I said.
"We're excited for tomorrow, we can't wait to spend time with you guys. I'm sure that you'll give Red a nice present as well, bye Kris!" Lyra said as she hanged up.
"By the way Red, where are your other Pokémon? I would have thought your entire team would be here when I saw you on your bed." I said.
"Ah, my other Pokémon are at Green's Gym, there's much more space there than in my house, especially because of Snorlax!" Red said.
"Oh I understand that, Snorlax does take up a lot of space. It's so dark thanks to this rain, it's hard to see anything since there's no power. You're not feeling cold or anything, are you?" I asked.
"W-well…I am feeling a little chilly." Red said.
"Would you want me to snuggle with you? The blanket really isn't keeping you all that warm." I said as Red immediately put his head on my shoulder.
"Wow, this feels nice. You're warm too, kind of like chocolate chip cookies and sweet just like them." Red said as I giggled.
"Aww, thank you Red, I'm glad I could keep you company. It looks like we'll be having your Pokémon join us too!" I said as I saw Vee come back downstairs with Charizard and Pika, with Charizard's flame at the end of his tail providing a little light as the three Pokémon walked into the kitchen.
'Sorry I took so long, I had to explain everything to Pika and Zard. As you can tell, they're not happy with how Gold and Yellow treated you two, but they are overjoyed that you two are with each other. Though you two are certainly…closer than Pika and Zard thought.' Vee said as Pika and Charizard sat down next to us.
"Don't you worry guys, you'll be here tomorrow in case Gold or Yellow tries anything. I'm really glad Kris and I bonded even closer than we were previously, she helped fix my broken heart as good as new. If only I knew sooner that she was the one I wanted all along, especially with how Yellow has always been towards me. I'm really sorry Kris…" Red said.
"There's no need to be sorry Red, I'm with you now. Today has been far better than anytime that I've spent with Gold. I can't even express how happy I am to hear that I mended your broken heart. You look really tired though, you should go rest." I said as I smiled at Red.
"It's alright, I'm not that tired." Red said as he yawned, which made me giggle while his Pokemon scoffed.
"Not tired huh? Are you sure?" I teased as Red yawned once more.
"Okay, I'll go sleep if you insist. Here seems pretty comfy, besides, I'd be too afraid to go back upstairs with this rain. Good night Kris." Red said.
"Good, you need to get some rest. I'll try calling Green for you and I'll give Gold or Yellow a call as well." I said.
"Thanks Kris, I feel bad for troubling you with calling two people so I'll give Gold a quick call to see how he's doing since this rain is still going on." Red said as he took out his Pokégear and called Gold.
I glanced over at his Pokémon, who all smiled at me while I did the same, happy that they think I'm good for Red. After Red's Pokégear ringed a few times, Gold picked up.
"Hi Red, how's it going? Is it raining by you?" Gold asked.
"Hello Gold, I'm doing good. It's raining rather badly here, are you doing okay?" Gold asked.
"Yup, I'm doing alright despite this rain, how was your date with Yellow?" Gold asked as Red clenched his teeth while his Pokémon looked enraged.
'Gold, you sicken me. You know how Red's date with Yellow went since the two of you cheated on us without a care in the world. Despite this, we're still being nice to you two and you treat Red like this?' I thought to myself.
"My date with Yellow was wonderful. I just wanted to call you to see how you're doing, are you planning to come to the party tomorrow?" Red asked.
"I definitely am, I got a great present for you! I'll be heading to bed now, see you tomorrow!" Gold said.
"Sounds awesome, thanks Gold! Take it easy, see you tomorrow!" Red said as he hanged up.
"I don't trust him." Red and I said simultaneously.
'Well, great minds do think alike.' Vee said.
"We definitely do, I'll call Green quickly, then you can sleep Red, I know you wouldn't be able to even if I called Green after you fell asleep." I said.
"Good point, hopefully Green's still awake." Red said as I called Green, who picked up right away.
"Hi Kris, are you and Red doing okay? We couldn't sleep because of this storm and it just keeps getting worse and worse." Green said.
"We're doing okay, hopefully it doesn't last too long." I said.
"Yeah, I know and…ahhh! What are you doing you pesky woman?!" Green said as I heard the phone drop.
"Oh boy, what's Blue doing now? Is that…laughter I hear?" Red asked as we heard what sounded like…Green laughing and then the phone getting picked up.
"Hello lovebirds! It sounds like you two are having fun! Are you two finally getting ready to go to sleep?" Blue asked as I got flustered.
"W-we are, w-well, Red is anyway!" I stammered as Blue giggled.
"Good and by the way Kris, you two are so adorable and according to what Red told me a few years back, snuggles are his favorite, so you should definitely get really close to him if you're not already." Blue said.
"W-we already are snuggling." Red said.
"Really?! That's great! Green and I got some nice gifts for you, we'll be seeing you tomorrow Red, bye!" Blue said.
"Good, can't wait to see you guys! Bye!" Red said as Blue quickly hanged up.
"Hm, that was fast, usually Blue makes a joke or something before she hangs up." I said.
"Knowing her, she probably hanged up before Green got to her!" Red said as he yawned once more.
"Looks like you're even more tired than I thought, get some sleep. Good night Red." I said as Red put more of the blanket over him.
"Hahah, it sure seems like I am. Good night Kris." Red said.
