Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon (or Gardevoir :( )
We get back to Littleroot, and hang around until dinnertime. My mom makes dinner for all of us, and then my dad, May and I all head out. We make it back to Oldale before night starts creeping up, and go back to our rooms. May doesn't have a room, and they're pretty full, so she stays with us. Once we're back, my dad gets in the shower again. May, Gardevoir, and I all sit in the room and talk and watch TV. I flip on a show about Pokémon, that features Professor Oak, a famous professor from the Kanto region. Having Professor Oak evaluate your Pokédex is a huge thing for trainers who have them.
Gardevoir cuddles into me as we lie there, and May sits on a chair between the beds.
"So, what other Pokémon do you have with you?" I ask May.
"Swellow, Plusle, and Gloom." She lists them out for me. When I last saw her she had a Taillow, a Minun, and an Oddish, along with her Combusken.
"Didn't you used to have a Minun, instead of a Plusle?" I ask, unsure. I could be wrong. Plusle and Minun are pretty similar.
"Yes, but I decided to start training my Plusle instead." She explains.
"Oh." I say, then remain silent. My dad is still in the shower, and I can hear the water running. Gardevoir shifts, and then sits on my lap. She sits so then she's facing May, with her legs off the side of the bed. She suddenly looks like she's focusing, and then I see May's face light up.
"What? Seth! Gardevoir is talking to me!" May cries out in excitement. I sit up, almost throwing Gardevoir off my lap. She looks at me confused.
"How are you talking to May?" I ask in amazement. She gazes in my eyes, acting like it's normal.
"Um, I have telepathic powers…" She states, in a well-duh tone.
"I thought they only worked with me." I comment.
"A lot of it does only work with you. Reading your mind and projecting my feelings to you only works with you, but my telepathic powers have always been a little different. I can communicate pretty easily with people or Pokémon close to me." She explains.
"So that's why you can read my mind?" I clarify. She nods. "Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"I don't know. You're really the only person I've been close to until now I guess." She responds, shrugging. I look at May, she looks shocked. I guess Gardevoir was letting her hear her message to.
I sit back, and rest on the headboard, and then my dad comes out. He's wearing his big footsie pajamas again, and May laughs.
Once everything is calmed down, we have to decide sleeping positions.
"This was Gardevoir's and my bed last night." I say, dad is trying to convince me to give it up.
"Well, there's no couch or anything, May can't sleep on the floor." Dad says. I don't mean to sound rude to May, it's just that I've gotten used to sleeping with Gardevoir.
"She can sleep with you." I suggest, meaning it in the most non-sexual way possible. My dad blushes.
"No she can't." He says, timidly. May laughs.
"It's not that big of a deal." She says. She's open to anything.
"Yes it is, Seth, why don't you just let Gardevoir sleep in the Pokéball tonight, that way you two can have that bed. Gardevoir instantly looks angry. She doesn't like the idea of sleeping in the Pokéball, and especially doesn't like the idea of May and I sleeping together.
"Yeah okay…" I start, Gardevoir instantly looks at me, her anger prominent. "If you want Gardevoir to throw you across the room." She softens.
"Then, why don't you and I share this one, and Gardevoir and May can share that one? That way we're not breaking any laws." He suggests. I look at Gardevoir, and she rolls her eyes.
"If that's how it has to be…" She tells me. I sigh.
"Okay… fine." I say, defeated. I'm too tired to argue about it anymore. I jump into the bed and get under the covers and close my eyes. Dad shuts off the lights while May and Gardevoir get into their bed. I have to say, May's pajamas are pretty sexy. They're just some short shorts and a tank top, but she's definitely got the figure to make it hot. I decided to keep some clothes on, I don't want to make sleeping with my dad any more awkward than it needs to be.
I try to sleep, but for some reason, I can't fall asleep. I lie there for what seems like forever, I can tell everyone else is asleep, but I can't seem to slip into unconsciousness. I finally give up and lie on my back and stare at the darkness. Slowly, some shapes start to stand out in the darkness.
"Seth, I can't sleep." I suddenly hear in my head. It's Gardevoir's voice. I don't want to respond out loud, so I try talking back in my head.
"Me neither." I think it really hard, and hope she gets it.
"Do you think it's because we're not sleeping together?" She asks, she seems to have gotten my message.
"Maybe…" I respond. I can tell she got the message.
"I want to come over there." She says, and I can hear the bed starting to move.
"No, don't. There's hardly enough room for me." I call out to her in my head. The movement sounds stop.
"Then come over here." She suggests. I sigh out loud. Quietly, I start to get up, and sneak over to her. I squeeze in on the side so then Gardevoir is in the middle of me and May, who's out cold.
"Hi." She says, she starts holding me as soon as I get in the bed.
"Hey…" I whisper. Gardevoir is right up against May, there's hardly any room at all. "This was a dumb idea." I continue whispering.
"No, it's a good idea." She retorts. I sigh. She cuddles into me, and I hold her back. I feel soothed as I hold her, and ready to sleep. She brings her lips to mine, and kisses me quietly. I forgot how powerful her influence is over me, she starts sending huge waves of lust into my mind. I can't control myself, and I start wrapping my arms around her. I accidentally bump May's back, and Gardevoir and I both freeze as she turns around to face us. She's still asleep. We both sigh in relief. We both stop.
"Maybe not now…" She tells me. I laugh as quietly as I can.
We both gradually fall asleep.
When I wake up in the morning, I sit up. I look down. Gardevoir isn't cuddled into me anymore. She's cuddled up with May, and May is cuddled up with her. It's like the best to both worlds. There's no way my morning problem is going to go away if I sit here looking at them. They're so cute. I really have to pee, but I really want to see one of them wake up, I want to see their reaction. I get up really carefully, and tiptoe to the bathroom. I suddenly realize my dad isn't here. I shrug it off, and quickly use the bathroom. I walk out, and May is just starting to wake up. I laugh devilishly to myself and watch closely.
May squeezes Gardevoir, and then her eyes open. It takes her a minute, but she realizes she's holding Gardevoir and she backs off. Gardevoir wakes up, and starts grabbing May because she's still half asleep.
"Gardevoir, wake up. I'm not Seth." Gardevoir has May gripped around the waist, and won't let go, so May has to say something. Gardevoir wakes up, and instantly lets go of May. I start laughing, and May jumps nearly out of her clothes.
"That was so cute, you guys." I state, laughing, and walking slowly towards them. Gardevoir looks up at me, and rubs her eyes. May still looks shocked.
"You were watching?" May asks, in disbelief.
"Well, I just happened to be walking out of the bathroom." I make an excuse, and she believes it.
"I guess I cling when I sleep." May mutters. I laugh.
"Gardevoir does too, don't worry." I say, making Gardevoir blush. They both stare up at me, Gardevoir sitting on the bed, and May standing next to the bed.
"Where's your dad?" May asks, changing the subject. She looks so hot right now. She has moderately sized breasts, and her legs are delicious, especially in those short shorts.
"I don't know, he wasn't here when I woke up." I explain. May sits down on his bed, and Gardevoir gets off of ours. She floats over to me, gives me a kiss, and then heads to the bathroom. I copy May and sit on the bed opposite her. She looks at me shyly. She still looks amazing.
"You look good." It slips out. It's such a stupid line, and I let it slip, with my girlfriend in the bathroom in the same room. I blush instantly, and put my head in my hand.
"Oh, thanks." She responds, blushing brighter. I hear the toilet flush and then the sink start running. May and I both look at the bathroom door, and Gardevoir comes out. She looks a little peeved. She sits by me and pulls my face to hers and kisses me long and hard, telling May to back off. I find it kind of sexy. She's like, defending me from May. Or even more accurately; defending us from May. When she releases me, May is gone, the bathroom light is on. She must be changing. I take the initiative and start changing into my clothes.
Once we're all ready, we head out in search of my dad. He didn't even leave a note. We head out of the Pokémon center, and start looking around town. When we can't find him, I start getting worried. We decide to go look at the Pokémart seeing as I want to stock up on Great Balls for my journey to Fortree anyway.
We all pile in the store, and I take a huge breath of relief when I see my dad paying for something
"There you all are! I didn't think you'd be up yet, sorry if I made you worry." He explains. He takes the bag the cashier hands him and then walks towards us. "All ready?"
"No, I've got to get some Great Balls." I respond, walking past him. I tell the cashier how many I want, and buy them. Once I'm done, I head back to my group, and we head out. It'll take the rest of the day to get back to Petalburg. We've got to get moving. We head for the town limits, and transition onto the route between Oldale and Petalburg.
As we're walking, I slowly start to fall behind May and my Dad with Gardevoir. She doesn't seem to notice until they're about a couple yards away from us.
"Seth, keep up they're falling behind." Gardevoir states, trying to float towards them faster, smiling at me. I frown. This is going to be hard.
"Gardevoir, I have something to tell you." I start, timidly. Gardevoir stops and looks at me, concerned. She takes my other hand and looks into my eyes. She must not be reading my mind in order to let me tell her.
"When May and I were going to the Pokécenter to heal you, she... kissed me." I mumble. She understands though. Her eyes widen for a second, and then look away from mine and down at the ground. Her mouth opens slightly. I wish I could understand what she was thinking.
"Why?" She asks simply. I can tell by her tone that she's hurt.
"Well she had no idea that we were together and she definitely feels bad about it. I explained everything and that's why she knows about us. I'm sorry Gardevoir. I understand if you're mad, but I just didn't want you to not know." I explain.
"I'm not mad... You didn't want to right? You love me right?" She asks, her voice small.
"Yes I love you. I didn't want to. She really surprised me." I explain. I can feel her presence in my head, reading my mind and checking the sincerity of my words. "Are you mad at May?
"No... She didn't know, and it's not like we could have told her. We have to keep us a secret. I guess that this is just another reason this is a hard relationship to have." She says, still not meeting my eyes. Her voice sounds sullen.
"What do you mean by that?" I sense doubt in her words and I'm worried she might not want to be with me anymore.
"I just mean that this is a difficult relationship. We have to hide it, and it's hard to hide it. I want to hug you and tell you I love you all the time. I don't want to have to conceal it." She explains, her big red eyes finally come back up to mine to look at me. I smile at her. I pull her into a hug and squeeze her as tightly as her chest plate will allow.
"I'm sorry about all this, Gardevoir." I say, pulling out of the hug and grasping her hand. My dad and May are almost out of sight. We start heading towards them.
"It's OK, Seth. I love you." She responds.
May and my dad are talking when we get closer. May looks back at us, looking at Gardevoir and then at me. She presses her lips into a thin line and turns ahead, she must have realized what we drifted away to talk about.
So let me know what you think. Did I handle that situation well? Does what Seth did match his character? Review and let me know. Thank you.
