"I...I like, uh..." Bulbasaur started blushing, "I like..." He seemed to be struggling to form the proper words.

"You like...who? C'mon, spit it out all ready!" Charmander asked eagerly. Bulbasaur had a visible streak of blush over his face, which looked particularly cute to Charmander.

"Um...well...I always thought that..." A loud audible gulp could be heard, "Y-you were cute, Charmander..." Charmander's entire face seemingly turned red.

"M-me? W-why me?" He got up from the bed, feeling too flustered to be so close to Bulbasaur.

"I...I dunno...I guess it's because you're always so nice to me..." Bulbasaur told him. Charmander stood silently still. "I-I'm sorry...I made this awkward, didn't I...?"

"N-no...er, yeah, b-but...I mean...I uh...was the one that asked..." Charmander paused for a second. "Um...b-by the way, Bulbasaur..."

"Y-yeah?"

"Um...was that...'cute boy' you mentioned by any chance, uh...me?" Charmander asked awkwardly. There was a moment of awkward silence, something which seemed to be becoming increasingly more prevalent in his life. Bulbasaur gave a small nod in response. "I...I can't believe Bulbasaur has a crush on me..." Charmander thought to himself. He couldn't wrap his head around this-one of his best friends had just confessed their attraction to him. Then again, he had unconfessed feelings for Squirtle, so maybe best friends secretly liking each other wasn't as uncommon as he originally thought.

"S-so...?" Bulbasaur asked as if waiting for some sort of response.

"W-what?"

"Well...I-I just confessed to you...r-right...? W-what do you think?" Bulbasaur asked, giving a somewhat hopeful smile.

"M-me? W-what do you mean?"

"Um...I mean... what do you think of me...?"

"I-I..." Charmander stopped to think for a second. How DID he feel about Bulbasaur? Sure he had an apparent attraction to Squirtle, but he never really thought about Bulbasaur. He always seemed to be there for him, even when Squirtle wasn't able to be. Charmander couldn't even recall him and Bulbasaur getting into any arguments, but could recall plenty between himself and Squirtle. He continued to think of about it until he realized that maybe he did like Bulbasaur in that way after all. "And besides..." Charmander thought to himself, "I'd feel horrible if I made him cry..." He looked at Bulbasaur's cute, hopeful smile he had been giving him. Charmander couldn't really think of any bad qualities Bulbasaur had either, except for being quiet sometimes, if that even counted as a flaw. Then again, Bulbasaur was usually always quieter around Charmander in particular, so he may have only been quiet out of embarrassment. "Sure, why not give it a shot? Doubt I'd get anywhere with Squirtle...unless he turned out to be gay as well." He thought to himself. Charmander finally came to an answer, "...Y-yeah...I guess I like you, too..." Bulbasaur's face instantly lit up, being the happiest Charmander had ever seen him before.

"R-really? D-do you mean it?! This is great!" Bulbasaur said excitedly. "That means we can do all kinds of things! Like, go on a date, become boyfriend and boyfriend, kiss-oh my gosh! That would be my first kiss!" He gasped before rambling on a bit more.

"W-whoa, calm down a little, Bulb."

"Sorry! I'm just really excited!"

"I could tell..." Charmander chuckled a little.

"S-so what do you wanna do first?" Bulbasaur asked, his excitement not dying down one bit since it started.

"W-well...uh...gee, I dunno...I'm not very good at romance..."

"Then...h-how about we kiss?" Bulbasaur asked eagerly.

"O-okay! Yeah, let's do that!" Charmander hopped back onto the bed and looked at Bulbasaur. They both looked at each other for a little while before Bulbasaur decided to initiate the kiss. He leaned in closer to Charmander's face, closed his eyes and puckered his lips. Their lips met for only a short while before Bulbasaur pulled away even more excited than before. "I...I can't believe it! My first kiss! This is so cool!" Bulbasaur gave a cute squeal before going in and giving Charmander another kiss before pulling him into a tight embrace.

"Hey guys, I decided to come ov-" said a voice that had just creaked open the door to Bulbasaur's bedroom. Both Charmander and Bulbasaur pulled away to find who the voice belonged to to find non-other than a very flustered Squirtle.

"Oh gosh oh gosh, Sorry, sorry!" Squirtle said before quickly closing the door. He then immediately proceeded to sink to the floor an embarrassed mess. Bulbasaur and Charmander took a moment to process what just happened before a wave of embarrassment swept over them when they finally realized what just happened. Charmander practically fell off the bed in his scramble to get to the door.

"S-Squirtle?" He said flinging the door back open only to have Squirtle fall backwards onto the floor.

"Yes...?" Squirtle asked, seemingly not even aware he had been moved.

"Uh...hi...what's up?"

"I dunno. Nothing much. Just came over to say hi to my friends. Hi, by the way."

"Oh...so, did you see, uh..."

"So's Bulbasaur gay too?"

"...yeah."

"Since when?"

"Always..."

"...Oh." Squirtle finally pulled himself up off of the ground. "So...uh...do you want me to go?" Charmander looked at Bulbasaur, seemingly asking for conformation.

"N-no! We were just watching a movie, if you want to join us..."

"Okay...sure." Both of them awkwardly shuffled over to Bulbasaur's bed and took a seat, with Squirtle on Bulbasaur's left and Charmander on his right. "So...what's this movie about, anyway?" Squirtle asked trying to break some of the awkwardness.

"Oh, it's a...about a Machoke named Jacob trying to save a Roselia named Elizabeth a few hundred different times so they can get married...Elizabeth keeps falling for someone else-usually some bad guy-right before she's rescued though." Charmander explained as least awkwardly as possible.

"Oh...that sounds kinda dumb."

"It's not supposed to be taken seriously...I think." Charmander told him. This is when Squirtle noticed Bulbasaur hadn't said a single word since he got there. He debated whether or not he should try talking to him or not, but decided against it as he had all ready ruined a supposed-to-be private moment.

-Break-

Since the movie was all ready halfway over when he started watching it, Squirtle was expecting to be completely lost. Surprisingly, however, it turned out it was pretty easy to follow either way.

"So...what did everyone think of the movie?" Bulbasaur asked, these words being the first Squirtle had heard since he got there. "I think it's pretty funny..."

"I dunno...it's not...the best movie I've seen...but it wasn't really bad, either. It was only okay, I liked a few of the jokes, but I didn't find the rest of it all that interesting." Charmander told him.

"Well, I mean...I started watching it from halfway through, but...I thought it was pretty funny from I watched." Squirtle replied.

"Aw, c'mon...I feel like I'm out-numbered here..." Charmander pouted a bit.

"Eh, maybe you're just a hipster." Squirtle said smirking.

"NO!" Charmander gave him a bump on the noggin. "I am NOT a hipster..."

"Ow..." Squirtle said rubbing his head. Bulbasaur giggled at the two's banter. "Um...so...on another note..." He looked at his friends in embarrassment, "Are you two a, uh...couple now, or...?" There was yet again another moment of silence.

Bulbasaur opened his mouth to speak, but before he could even get a word out, Charmander answered with a quick, "Yup!"

"Oh...that's cool, I guess...sorry, I uh...walked...in on you earlier." Squirtle said apologetically.

"Nah, it's fine. Right, Bulbasaur?" Charmander asked turning his head to look at Bulbasaur, who was delighted at the fact that Charmander confirmed their status as a couple.

"...Huh? Oh, uh, yeah! It's fine." Bulbasaur replied.

"Oh, well that's good." He let out a sigh of relief. "I'm happy for you two, though. I mean, I never thought Charmander would get a girlfriend-yet alone a boyfriend!" The three of them laughed as his remark before Charmander realized what he said and gave him a light slap to the shoulder.

"Jerk!" He said jokingly.

"Oh, hi Mr. Blastoise!" Bulbasaur said looking at someone at the doorway. He seemingly ignored Bulbasaur.

"I came to pick up Squirtle. It's dinner." Squirtle's dad said in a very stern voice. A look of fear suddenly spread across Squirtle's face. Squirtle cautiously crawled off the bed and walked over to his father, his face pale as a ghost. He went to turn his head towards his friends and said "B-"

"COME. NOW." Squirtle's dad yanked Squirtle out of the room and slammed the door shut.

"...I wonder what's wrong with him?" Charmander asked. "You don't think he heard Squirtle...do you?"

"I dunno...I didn't see when he got here." Bulbasaur said equally confused.

"Eh, he's probably fine. Maybe Squirtle wasn't supposed to come out so late? I mean...it's all ready-" he looked at the time. "Oh my gosh! It's all ready 4 o'clock! Ugh...maybe mom will let me sleepover...do you think your parents would mind?"

"I don't think so. Want me to go ask?"

"Sure."

Bulbasaur went down the stairs. "Hey mummy, daddy." He called.

"Yes?" Asked his father, who was in the middle of cooking meatloaf for dinner.

"Can Charmander stay over for tonight?"

"Of course he can! As long as Miss Charizard doesn't mind, that is."

"Thanks dad!" Bulbasaur went to upstairs but then quickly went back downstairs. "Oh, uh...by the way. I thought my friends knew, but they didn't, so maybe you don't either, but...I'm gay!" He said happily.

"Oh, okay, Bulby." His father said not really paying much attention, more concerned about if they had enough meatloaf for four people.

"K, I'll be in my room!" Bulbasaur announced as he ran upstairs. It only took a few moments before his father realized what he said.

"WHAT?!" He said in shock. "I guess that does explain a few things, though...hey, Honey!" He called to his wife, who he was going to tell this new information too.

"So what'd they say?" Charmander asked.

"My dad said it's fine as long as your mom is okay with it."

"She said it was fine."

"Yay! That means we're having a sleepover!" Bulbasaur said excitedly. "And right after becoming boyfriends..." He suddenly blushed at a certain thought, but quickly pushed it away. "Uh...you don't think we're moving too fast...do you?"

"Uh...well not unless you think so...why?"

"N-no reason..." Bulbasaur said still blushing. He never had any of these kinds of thoughts before, but then again, he'd only recently learned about the birds 'n the bees, so that was most likely why. It also didn't help that he had never been so close to another boy before. The thought of doing that with Charmander made him feel incredibly embarrassed, even though he knew it wasn't going to happen, and that he didn't know too much about it in the first place.

"Are you okay, Bulb?...Bulb? Bulbasaur? Yoohoo! You zoning out there?" Charmander laughed a bit.

"H-huh...? O-oh! S-sorry!"

"You're so cute when you're flustered!" Bulbasaur blushed even more.

"N-no I'm not...A-and either way...y-you're cuter!" He said trying to come up with a comeback.

"All right, if ya say so." Charmander shrugged. "So, do you know when dinner'll be done?"

"Umm...my dad's cooking meatloaf...so probably 5:30ish..."

"Oh, okay. So what do you wanna do why we wait?"

"Umm...oh! Maybe some Po-Ké-Oh!, that's all ways pretty fun."

"Uh...sure! I'll have to reread the rules though, it's been a bit since I've played..." Charmander said as Bulbasaur pulled out his Po-Ké-Oh! kit.

"Kay, here's the rulebook then!" Bulbasaur said taking the rulebook out of his limited-edition tin and handing it to Charmander.

"Thanks." He said and began reading the rules as Bulbasaur picked out a deck.

And there we go! End of chapter! I labelled this as 'part 2' because it's technically the same chapter, I just wrote this on two different days. I decided to try and make this one longer (1,900 Words not including AN). I'll probably spend tomorrow or the day after fixing grammar and other mistakes in the previous (and probably this) chapter depending. Anyways, I'm happy with how this on turned out (I've said that on how many of these now?) and I hope you enjoyed it as well. (Also, anyone guess that Bulbasaur 'twist'? ((I tried making this chapter more 'comedic', I mean, one of the genres is humor after all)).) I hope you all have a lovely day. :3

EDIT:

I'm considering merging the prologue and chapter 1...just figured I'd let you guys know in case you cared for some reason.

1/8/2017 7:10 PM EDIT

Just so everyone knows, I've fixed (nearly) all of the grammar mistakes in this and the previous chapters :P

I'll be making a new chapter sometime later.
