So... I kinda loosely based this off from my [cute] classmate's story about her... um... uh... boyfriend. XD

She gave me the idea while we're working on our college paper works months ago and hello and behold! This is the result. I hope you like it though. ^^

Disclaimer: I own nothing.


9. Parenthood...?

"Ehhh, that's terrible! It's like you loosely based it off his name."

"It ain't terrible, idiot! Ya based yers on its own name too, ya know!"

The Rockruff furrowed its eyebrows, tilting its head to its left at the sight of the bickering lovebirds. One thing's certain, though, he had absolutely no idea what were they talking about.

Ruby folded his arms across his chest, smirking at his girlfriend's adorable reaction. Arceus, they were having their playful bickering again, and he was absolutely enjoying it. Whenever she rolls her eyes at his words with such annoyance were enough for his lips to curve into a mischievous smirk. He did enjoy her cute glare at him despite how menacing it was. "But mine makes is easier for everyone to remember. Just imagine him entering in a contest. Everyone will remember him through his performance and his name!"

Sapphire could feel a vein popping out from her forehead. He was just too stubborn at it. "We're not even sure if it's interested to perform in a contest!"

"Oh sure it will." Ruby's smirk curved widely. He was liking their silly argument, frankly. It might lead to a better conversation if this continued. "Rara and Feefee can even demonstrate how amazing contests are!"

Sapphire released an irked groan, placing her left palm to cover half of her face. She later removed it and let out a frustrated sigh. She couldn't believe she had to repeat it again. "Ruby, the egg just hatched. It's still too young to even do anythin' other than sleepin' and eatin'."

"Awww." Ruby let out a soft chuckle and scooted closer to his girlfriend. He grabbed her hands, linking their fingers together, and placed a soft kiss at the back of her hand. The contact of his warm lips on hers were enough to make her cheeks flushed. "Now you're sounding like its mother. Who's its father, though? I do, and I really hope it's me."

Sapphire's cheeks couldn't help but to increase its temperature. They were the Rockruff's parents?! She swallowed hard, averting her flustered gaze at him. What in Arceus' name made him think of that?! They were definitely not an engaged, let alone, a married couple yet! "I-I didn't state anythin' about us bein' its parents!"

"Oh, so I am its father." Ruby let out a contented chuckle at her response. Her reaction was immeasurably cute. He was already contented at staring at her all day, if she was comfortable at it. "I gotta say," He removed his hands on hers as he later snaked his arms around her waist, pulling her closer for a hug. He released a contented sigh and planted a soft kiss on her neck. It made her heartbeat synchronize with his. "It does have a nice ring to it."

Sapphire placed her hands on his chest, gently pulling herself from his warm yet protective embrace. It felt amazing hugging him, but being in her flustered state while hugging him was definitely not helping her cheeks cool down. "S-Shut up, ya idiot!"

"HEY! COULD YOU TWO JUST QUIT FLIRTING AND GET YOUR OWN ROOM?!" Emerald yelled at the lovebirds with an irked tone, crossing his arms on his chest and sitting beside the Rockruff on the sofa. "I am seriously having a severe headache at your flirty argument!"

Sapphire pulled herself from their proximity. Ruby's arms didn't leave around her waist, however. Despite that, she could feel Ruby's cheeks were also increasing its temperature, along with his fast heartbeat, due to embarrassment, from Emerald's words.

Right.

They forgot they were not alone together.


Save Emerald. He doesn't deserve this. He didn't sign up for this. T-T
