The time was seven in the evening, and Red and Yellow had arrived at Simon's place. It was a pretty house, to say the least. Two story, white paint, red shutters, and pretty flowers and bushes dotted around the front yard. Red was pretty impressed. It certainly looked better than his house, as he hated doing yard work.
Two weeks ago had all seemed like a blur to Yellow. Meeting Hana, having fun with her, finding out she has the same problem she does. According to her, Simon had been using regression with her for three years, compared to the measly month Yellow and Red had been. Yellow wanted to learn much from the younger girl, as she was sure Hana had much to teach her.
Yellow was snapped out of her thoughts when Red rang the doorbell. It wasn't anything special, but it was certainly loud.
The door opened, revealing a casually dressed Simon. "Come on in, guys!" He exclaimed with a smile, opening the door wider for them.
The inside of the house was even prettier. The wallpaper was a peach color, with wood trim and paintings on every wall. There were stairs to their right, and the doorway immediately opened up to the living area, where a certain black-haired girl was resting.
"Simon, are they here?" Hana said sleepily, yawning.
"Yes, Hana." He turned back to Red and Yellow. "Take a seat, guys, I wanna talk about a few things, anyway."
Red took a seat on the couch, with Yellow quickly joining him. Red really didn't know how well to dress for Simon and Hana, but he thought a knee-length pink dress and her favorite yellow pikachu shirt would fit great. Hana herself was quite casual, her frilly green dress and a plain white top fitting her nicely.
"Alright, first things first," Simon began, clearing his throat. "Welcome to our home, and we're really, really glad you guys came. I need to go over a few rules, nothing serious."
"Rules?" Yellow asked, her eyebrow arched. "I don't think there's anybody here who would break them."
"Oh, believe me." Simon laughed, leering playfully at Hana. "There are plenty. Number one, please don't run in the house. I've got some really valuable things on shelves, and it would be best to keep them intact." Simon cleared his throat again. "Number two, don't scream or yell in the house, that's what the backyard is for. Rule three, and this pertains more to Yellow and Hana, please come get us if you need a change, as there's no reason why you need to wait."
"That all sounds reasonable." Red said, his palms against the back of his head laxly. "So, what do you want to do first?"
Simon shrugged. "I thought the backyard would be fun. We have plenty of things to do there."
The four agreed, and with the sliding of a glass door, stepped outside. Simon was right, there were many things to do. A tire swing on a big tree, a swing-set, and a picnic table near the entrance.
"Wow, this is so cool!" Yellow gasped, her eyes wide. Without a word, she was grabbed by a very giddy Hana and quite nearly dragged towards the tire swing, laughing all the way.
"Red, take a seat." The two sat down at the picnic table opposite one another. "I believe I owe you an explanation."
"An explanation? For what?" Red asked.
"Our lifestyle. You see, Hana isn't a normal girl. She wasn't raised normal, she didn't have a normal life, and she didn't meet normal people or have normal friends. Hana is very special, and to tell you the truth, I..." He paused, gulping. "I love her, Red."
"Of course you do, she's your wife, isn't she?" Red laughed.
Simon shook his head, an obvious blush on his face. Red's eyes widened when he realized what he was trying to say.
"So, you two are like...roommates?" Red asked, one of his hands on his cheek.
"Yeah, except I take care of her incontinence and baby her when she needs it most. This is my house, and she lives here with me because she has no where else to go."
"Do her parents not accept her?" Red was not really sure what he was getting at.
Simon sighed, and began a very long and unfortunate tale of Hana's and his life, all the way up to the present moment. The tale wasn't all sad, but there were many unexpected tragedies that Red didn't see coming, such as Simon's parents hating him and the death of both of Hana's parents. Red couldn't believe that so much sadness and tragedy laid behind Hana's sweet and innocent expressions. Her determination for Simon when he battles, her focused expression when she buses tables, and her sweet smile that could melt even the coldest villain's heart. Red could hardly believe his ears, and the sound of his heart breaking for her was deafening.
"Simon, I...I don't know what to say, really, I don't." Red began, feeling really uncomfortable. "All I can do is offer my sympathy."
"That's really all you can do, Red." Simon sighed. "As for my parents, I never loved them anyway. They send me money every month to keep me away from them and that's just fine by me. I use it to take care of her, and to buy food and pay the bills."
"It sounds like you know what you're doing, then." Red replied, smiling a little to ease the tension. "I can't really boast the same back-story as you two have, but Yellow and I go a long way back."
Red told Simon about how Red and Yellow first met, the incident at Cerise Island, the incident with the Mask of Ice, and the big Battle Frontier fiasco. After that, he delved into what happened after, with Yellow's accident and how they got to the point where Yellow was so stressed that she was willing to undergo regression to relieve her of her sadness.
"Red, you're an amazing individual. Not only did you save the world, I don't know, three times, and you have really made Yellow's life much better."
"Thanks, I couldn't have done it without my friends' help, though. Yellow was always the one closest to me, and through the accident, we both had the guts to confess our feelings. She was too shy and I was too dense."
Simon nodded, crossing his arms. "Makes sense."
"Enough about my love life," Red chuckled, resting his head on his arms. "why don't you just come out and confess to her, huh?"
Simon made a big 'x' with his arms. "Nope, that's not going to work. It would make things awkward, and besides, she doesn't love me. She won't have a mother and father in-law if she marries me, and along with that, we would probably never have any children."
"Then don't have any!" Red cried, laughing. "For Pete's sake, son, I'm married to Yellow, and I baby her. We have an adopted daughter, too, but she's on her pokemon journey right now."
Simon thought about it for a moment, his face still a bit flushed. He cared about her more than anything in the world, and he wanted nothing more than her safety. Would confessing how he really felt truly mess up what they have now?
"I guess you're right..." Simon muttered, looking away. "We haven't slept together, and the only times I've seen her naked is when I bathe her and change her."
"Do what you think is best, but just don't assume what you don't know." Red replied, standing up. The girls were heading back, and they were covered in sand and mud, laughing all the way.
"Hana, you're filthy!" Simon cried, running up to her.
"Yellow, what on earth?" Red asked, his eyes wide.
"We, um..." Hana began.
"We got into a mud patch...I'm sorry, Red..." Yellow whimpered.
Red rolled his eyes jokingly, pulling her close. "It's fine, we just need to clean you up."
"Please don't spank me, Simon..." Hana was almost in tears.
"I'm not going to spank you, silly, that's only for when you're completely unreasonable." Simon laughed, pulling her into a hug. "You just got a little dirty, that's all." He turned to Red. "Why don't we wash our little girls?"
"Sure." Red replied, ruffling Yellow's long hair gently. "We didn't bring any clean clothes, though."
"She can borrow some of Hana's, and besides, I was gonna give you guys some supplies, anyway."
The two guys led their precious little girls upstairs, where they undressed them and placed them in a nice, hot bath. It was a very big bathtub, almost like a hot tub. It had plenty of child's bath toys in it, too, along with very young children's shampoo and body wash, which were tear-free.
"I like taking baths." Simon defended himself, albeit being slightly embarrassed.
"I can see that." Red chuckled as he poured soap into the water.
Simon and Red washed them clean and allowed the two to play with the toys until the water got lukewarm. After that, they finished bathing them, and allowed Hana and Yellow to dry themselves off. From there, Simon found some t-shirts and sweatpants for them to wear, as their other clothes had been put in the washer. Simon and Red re-diapered them, dressed them, and led the two back downstairs into the living room.
"How about you three find something to watch, and I'll make us some popcorn." Simon suggested, heading for the kitchen.
"You read my mind, Simon!" Hana squeaked as she landed on the couch.
Red sat between Hana and Yellow as the sounds of the microwave beeping could be heard from the kitchen. He turned to Yellow, catching a whiff of her hair, which smelled like peaches.
"You smell nice, baby." Red cooed in her ear as he kissed her cheek, making her flush.
"Thanks, Red." She giggled, leaning in towards his body.
"Have I ever said that you have a cute butt?" Red chuckled, his hands moving around her waist.
"Only a million times..." Yellow replied, a small smile on her face.
"I say it 'cause it's true..." Red whispered, kissing her hair lightly.
Hana was busy flipping through the channels, and couldn't help but enjoy the little spectacle before her. "That's so cute I could just scream!" She thought, focusing on the TV. Suddenly, Hana felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and quickly felt jealous of Yellow. "I wish Simon would tell me that I have a cute butt..."
Simon returned with a big bowl of popcorn, and Hana had decided on some dumb comedy drama to watch. Red and Yellow really didn't care, they just enjoyed sitting with their new friends. Eventually, the popcorn was gone, and Yellow had fallen asleep on Red's shoulder, with Hana barely awake against Simon's.
"Come on, baby, we need to go home." Red whispered in Yellow's ear, making her groan tiredly.
"I don't wanna...too tired..." She whined, closing her eyes again.
"Red, you guys are definitely welcome to spend the night." Simon yawned, stretching. "We have plenty of space..."
"I guess that would be okay..." Red replied sleepily. "We have clothes to change into, anyway..."
"I have something Yellow would like to sleep in, too. Hana absolutely loves them." Simon picked up Hana, who had fallen asleep, bridal style and began to carry her up the stairs, with Red and Yellow in tow. Red was led to a big, completely pink-themed room, which had stuffed animals in the corner and a big, pink bed, but what really stuck out was what appeared to be a changing table, but at least twice as big as a normal one. It was the only thing in the room not pink, and it was chock-full of supplies.
"Simon, where did you get something like this?" Red asked, not sure whether to be amazed or disturbed.
Simon sighed sadly. "There are many things one can do with the right amount of money, and I'm willing to spend any amount to keep her happy. You can change Yellow in the guest room if you want, I'll check Hana in here. But before you go," Simon put a small, light duffel bag over Red's shoulder. "these should be able to help you out. If you don't need some things in there, just give them back. I've been doing this with her for a while, Red, and believe me when I say I know what these littluns want."
Red merely nodded, a big smile on his face. "You're a great friend, Simon."
"You too, Red. You've really helped me tonight."
Red carried Yellow and the bag into the guest room, which was quite plain in its appearance, but it had a bed, which was all Red cared about. Red set Yellow on the ground gently, put a pillow under her head, and removed her sweatpants to begin changing her.
"Wha-what's going on...?" Yellow suddenly stammered, sitting up.
"I'm just changing you before bed, baby." Red replied as he moved a wet wipe against her sensitive areas.
"Okay, that's fine..." Yellow muttered. "They make a cute couple, huh?"
Red laughed. "You mean Simon and Hana? They're not married, though."
Yellow gave a half-shrug. "Hana told me..." She yawned, interrupting herself. "Told me that she wants to confess. She's loved him since the day she met him, that idiot. Simon's got the sweetest little lady he could ever ask for, and-and he's just going to ignore that...?" Red's jaw dropped when he saw real tears escape Yellow's eyes.
"Y-yellow, what's wrong, it's alright..." Red taped her up quick and pulled her into a hug in an attempt to calm her.
"Simon's really nice, and he is the one of the most selfless people I know, but he just lets Hana's feelings go unnoticed...it's so sad..." Yellow sobbed quietly, gripping the fabric of Red's shirt.
"Simon told he about how he feels about her, and he does love her, I guarantee it, it's just..." Red paused, trying to think of the word. "He wasn't loved by his parents, and it's hard for him to express that kind of stuff." Red wiped his own eyes. "Now, come on, we're both tired, and we need to get to bed."
Yellow nodded, and stood up for Red to help her dress for bed. Red zipped open the bag Simon gave him and pulled out a folded garment. It looked like a shirt, but it long sleeves and a longer part at the crotch. She allowed him to slip it on her, and the bit at the crotch did hang out a bit. Red then saw there were little snaps there, and he connected them, which folded over perfectly across her bottom. It appeared to be an adult sleeper, but without coverings for the legs and footies, and it was light orange in color and had a little white snowflake at the top of the chest.
"So cute I can barely stand it." Red chuckled as he picked her up and set her back in the bed. He looked back in the bag, and found what appeared to be a orange pacifier, but a bit bigger. Red opened the cardboard package, and walked back to Yellow, holding it up.
"I found this in the bag. Do you wanna try it?"
Yellow flushed a brilliant vermillion color, but smiled softly. "Give me that..."
Yellow popped the little plastic thing in her mouth as Red got into the bed with her. A king sized bed, with soft, white pillows and an adorable little baby girl that he loved more than anything sleeping next to him. Red thanked Arceus every day for her, and the infinite blessings she brought into his life. He also thanked him for his new friends, from whom he can gain understanding of the lifestyle that he and Yellow have chosen, as many people they had encountered throughout the month that he and Yellow had been using regression hadn't been so friendly. They called it weird, perverted, pedophiliac, and a disgusting, self-gratifing fetish, but they didn't know better, and they didn't know the other side of the story.
Red pulled Yellow close to him and quickly fell asleep, the last things him hearing being her even breathing and the soft rain that had begun outside.
Yeah, I didn't like this chapter at all, guys, so sorry if it's bad. I just didn't have any inspiration, or too much, maybe. And also, if this story is getting too weird, I'm sorry, but there are people in the world who do this stuff, and it really is harmless, mostly. Anyhoo, Yellow's just the cutest little thing on two legs, am I right? Oh, and Simon and Hana are confirmed, just wait and see.
One more thing, just a heads up. This story will be coming to a close soon, and I'm going to start another project. It won't be anything like this, and it may not be this long, either, but I will do something, and it will be most likely specialshipping :D
