Epilogue One!
Mt. Silver... Snow cone, anyone?
"I'm bringing him back, stay here."
Blue instructed the younger to stay put - even if he was now one of the strongest trainers in Johto and Kanto, Blue wanted Gold to stay away while he had a personal talk with his old rival.
"Red... I'm going to drag you from that god damn mountain even if it takes my entire Pokémon team to help!"
Sending out his Pidgeot (that he had obtained in his time as a Viridian Gym Leader and travelling the other regions to find himself), he flew to Mt. Silver, and scaled the rest of the treacherous obstacle between him and Red alone. His Pokémon all either back at the gym or on his belt, in their pokéballs. His mind raced at the same speed as his heart; he could not stop thinking of Red even now.
The bitter cold weakened Blue; he just was not used to it.
He forced himself to continue, before stumbling upon a silhouette that was heading towards a cave. He was sure it was Red.
"Red!" he called for him, his voice hoarse from yelling his name so much within the cavern chambers.
The shadow-y figure stopped, and Blue's vision got worse as he felt ill. He blamed Red and his stupidity, for leaving him in a state of worry. Not just him, but everyone.
"Red...!" he screamed one last time before passing out.
Blue awoke with Red's Charizard's tail near his face as a source of heat.
"Where... am I?" Blue came round to his senses. "Red! Where are you?"
Red came and pushed Blue back onto the covers he had his Pokémon gather from the nearest town from the mountain, shaking his head sighing.
"Rest. You could've died out there." His voice was void of anything but concern.
"No! I can't, I have to... I have to...!" Blue didn't continue as a coughing fit took over.
"Damn it, Blue, you're so reckless – just calm down!" exclaimed the Kanto hero, soothing Blue's back in hope to ease his coughing.
"Does it really matter? I'm not worth it, Red and you know it."
Red's eyes widened.
"I mean, I was a horrible friend... I broke the promise I made as a kid to protect you, and be your best friend even through the rough times yet I pushed you in and out of my life like some sort of nostalgic toy, messing with your heart and the only time I talked to you? I was a cocky, little shit who wanted prove he was something when really... I am nothing. I was selfish, I still am."
Blue covered his face, flushed not only from the warmth of Charizard's tail and Red's presence but from shame and disappointment in himself.
"No... No, you're wrong Blue."
Blue looked up, to see Red shuddering – crying even.
"We made mistakes, you and me... I hurt you and you just hurt me back, we both made promises we couldn't really keep. We were just kids. I thought you hated me, anyway, and that is one of the reasons why I stayed here, hoping that maybe you would bring me back home..."
Blue soaked in the words, a smirk lighting up his features despite how pale he looked amongst the bright red blush on his face. Reaching for the other's hand, he pulled Red into him once he had sat upright, and brushed the back of his spare hand against Red's cheek.
"You could have just said."
"I think our pride overtook the situation, Blue... I didn't want to hurt you."
Blue moved in close, his lips brushing against the once warm lips he knew.
"You hurt me by staying away, but if you can forgive me so easily then I can forgive you too; I'm still sorry though... for not been here earlier... but I had a lot to think about."
"I-It's fine..." Red closed the gap, their eyes closing slowly as they blocked out the world around them and surrounded each other in the colours of their blood, sweat, tears and their passion.
Red fused with Blue, as if they were one, their tongues battling for dominance in a battle that Blue had won for once. Red submitted willingly, his hands grasping at the black jacket Blue wore and he reached for the zip to undo it, pushing it off only to struggle with the white t-shirt Blue adorned.
"A bit eager, Red?"
"Quiet... take it off, and kiss me again."
Blue chuckled, his trademark smirk softening as he threw aside his shirt – his body slim but not as slim as Red's body, Red noticed the faint appearance of abs trying to force their way into existence – and pushed Red onto the cave floor, continuing to attack his lips with bruising kisses.
"I spent all this time, wandering around Kanto and the other regions to become stronger in hopes of becoming complete... I achieved many goals, met many people and became stronger as I had hoped but still felt alone, incomplete, in pieces..."
"But in the end, all I really needed was the touch of another – your touch, your hand, your lips."
"I know what life is without you, and it is hell... I don't want to go back to that. I needed you back in my life, and now I have you?"
Blue smiled at Red, curled into him under the multiple covers, and stroked the boy's cheek.
"I'll never let you go."
That is the Mt. Silver epilogue but I still have to do the PWT one, so enjoy this one!
I know it's short and there is no smexytimes but I wanted to keep this series sweet.
