Chapter 34: At The End of Fate's Road, Act 2

Upon making it back to Castelia City, the young couple waste no time and immediately head back to Yancy's condominium. Holding each other's hands without saying anything to one another, they hastily make their way through the entrance and into the elevator. Knowing that there's a security camera inside said elevator, they elect not to continue just yet, their reputations as public figures being at risk should they get caught. It's only when Yancy unlocks her unit's door and both of them head in do they finally break the awkward silence between them.

"Do you think we could move straight to my room?" Yancy asks while removing her hat and taking off her shoes. "Much as I'd love to continue what we did straight away…" She then places her bag down onto a nearby table. "It's going to be a pain to remove any stains if we make a mess here…"

Nate, who is himself removing his own hat and shoes while placing his own bag on the same table, awkwardly replies "Uh, sure…I'm honestly not into doing it outside of bed, anyway…"

Not long after this, they make their way into Yancy's room, but not before almost colliding and tripping on their luggage that had been delivered to her place not too long ago.

"Waaahhh!" Thankfully for Yancy, Nate, with his quick reflexes, manages to catch her in time, preventing her from suffering any injuries. "Thanks again, Nate...I swear this keeps happening every time...At least you didn't accidentally grope me this time…ahaha!"

"You're welcome." He replies, helping her to stand up straight again and moving the luggage aside not long after. "And there. I think I moved them to the side enough for you to pass through without tripping again…"

With that final obstacle out the way, the two then make their way into the master's bedroom. Immediately, both of them sit down next to one another on the bed.

"(Nate, please…)" Yancy whispers into Nate's ear. "(I want to…feel good again.)"

Without any hesitation on his part, he kisses her on the lips. While she's surprised at her boyfriend's sudden move at first, she gradually gives in and embraces him. Breaking off from their kiss, they both begin stripping one another. Unlike their first time, Nate manages to unhook Yancy's bra with ease, which surprises her a bit. Upon stripping down to just their underwear, they both stop and begin ogling one another.

"..."

"..."

While both of them are nervous at continuing for a few seconds, Yancy decides to make the first move, something that surprises Nate, who until now has always taken the lead.

"Wait, Yancy, what are you doing?" He asks her. By this point she's already in the process of taking off his boxers.

"Well, I've been feeling kind of bad for you, since you always make it a point to make me feel good, while I've only been on the receiving end…" She then looks at him with a determined expression. "Nate, do you think I could return the favor this time, and make you feel good?"

Flattered by her offer, he agrees, and allows her to continue taking off his boxers. Immediately, she begins ogling at his nether regions, not unlike how he did the same thing to her before.

"Ummm, Yancy…" Nate asks, clearly embarrassed, especially given that their usual roles are now reversed.

"Yes?" Not long after replying, she continues staring at her boyfriend down there, clearly in deep thought. "(So, this is his "thing"...I've always observed it from afar, but this is the first time I've actually taken the time to look at it up close…It really is huge...)"

"Are you going to keep staring down there?" By now, his face is flushed in red, clearly nervous about her fixation on his crotch.

"No, uh...sorry!" She then gently grabs his thing down there, and then begins gently stroking it. "It's just that it's my first time doing this...A-and I was just amazed at your thing…"

Again flattered by her comment, he replies with an awkward "Thanks for that compliment, again…"

"Does this feel good?" She asks, unsure of what she's doing.

"Y-yeah...Ah...That's right." He replies. "Just keep stroking it, like what you're doing right now…"

"Okay." She then continues, with her boyfriend continuing to enjoy the gentle yet ecstatic sensation of her hand stroking him. This continues on for a minute, before Yancy does something unexpected. Nate, feeling a wet sensation down there, immediately springs to life, which confirms his suspicions.

"Aaahhhh...Wait! Hey, Yancy! Don't force yourself if you can't take it. As much as I enjoyed that, I know you're not the type who's into this kind of thing."

"*Cough* *Cough*...Yeah, I think I won't be trying that again…" After managing to recover from almost choking, she resumes her stroking with her hand.

"Why...ahhh...did you do t-thaaaahhh- that?" He then makes a request to his girlfriend. "Also, could you stop stroking me, please? I'm...getting close…"

"Oh, sorry." She then lets go of him, before addressing his earlier question. "I, uh...was curious…I...saw it in a hentai manga I read…"

"Haha, I didn't know you actually read those…" This genuinely surprises the young man, as he had never expected her of all people to actually browse those kinds of works.

"Well, I wanted to know more about other kinds of things couples do. And Rosa recommended explicit manga from Kanto that had these illustrations…"

"Oh. That figures…" He replies, his expression changing from surprised to an amused smile. "(Oh, Rosa, you…)" Getting an idea, he then asks. "What else did you see in that book? I'm...kind of curious if there's something in there that you want me to try on you in return…"

"Well…" For a moment, she hesitates and thinks, before telling him her request. "Do you think you could...lick me down there?"

At first, Nate remains quiet, which initially worries her. Before she can ask anything, however…

"Honestly, I'd love to." He then admits "I actually wanted to try that back then, but I was afraid you wouldn't want it."

Smiling at his response, she lies down, allowing him to take off her panties. He then positions himself between her legs, not unlike what he had done during their first time. This time, however, Yancy is far from embarrassed, even giving him a nod of approval. Taking that as a cue, he begins kissing and then gradually licking her womanhood.

Immediately, she begins moaning and drowning in deep amounts of pleasure. "Ahhh...Yes...More! Ahhh~"

"(Darn...If she keeps moaning like that, I won't be able to hold myself back again…)" Despite this, he manages to continue pleasuring his girlfriend, barely holding back his urges in the process. Unlike before, however, she ends up drowning in her own pleasure, continuously moaning louder and louder.

"Nate...I think I'm...Ahhh...Ahhh...Ahhhhhhhh~!" Immediately, her body shudders, surprising her boyfriend who up until that point had still been licking her.

"Yancy, are you alright? Did I hurt you?" His fears soon vanish, however, when he sees her face, now flushed in red and having an erotic expression.

"That...felt really good…" She says in-between her exhausted panting. "And don't worry, I'm fine. In fact, I can say I didn't hate it at all, ahaha." She then surprises him by kissing him on the cheek as a 'thank you' gesture. "Thank you for fulfilling my request, Nate. Though...I'm also sorry that I didn't do as good a job at making you feel good..."

"There's nothing to apologize for." He assures her. "I enjoyed the fact that you were willing to try out something new."

Happy at his reply, she then makes another request to him. "Could we...make love again?"

"Wait, you just came…Are you sure you want to do this right now?"

After a few seconds of thinking, she tells him "I think I can handle it…Besides, don't you want to make love to me again?"

"Yeah, but…" Before he can finish countering, she kisses him on the lips, which erases any further doubt in him. He then positions himself on top of her, while she lies down in front of him. "Yancy, I'm going in. Is that okay?"

"Yes…"

Compared to their first time, this time Nate manages to enter her without any difficulty or pain on her end.

"Ahhh~!" Indeed, instead of her flinching in pain, this moan is clearly one of pleasure.

Mistaking her moan for a cry of pain, and initially worried about his girlfriend's state, he asks. "Are you okay?"

"Mmmhmm…" She tells him with a smile of pleasure, her face flushed in pink. "You can move if you want...I can take it..."

Immediately, Nate begins thrusting, losing control of himself in the process.

"Ah! Nate!~...Yes! Harder, please...Ahhh!~" She then moves near him, and says. "I've missed this sensation…Ah!"

"Yancy! Ah! Me too!"

In the heat of the moment, both of them embrace one another and engage in a long, passionate kiss. At least until both of them run out of breath. Nate then does the unexpected when he lifts Yancy by the waist, having her sit on his lap while the two of them are still connected.

"Waaaah! Nate, what are you doing?"

"(Is it fine if I tried this position?)" He whispers to her, before facing her and talking to her normally. "I, uh, saw this in a hentai doujin I was reading myself…"

Recovering from her initial surprise, and at the same time amused and flattered by his suggestion and the half-embarrassed look on his face, agrees. "Sure. But I need to ask, why this position, though?"

Still embarrassed, Nate mutters. "Well, I wanted to see your face when you come…"

"What?" She asks him, her face indicating to him that she's clearly confused about his reasoning.

"In that doujin, well...The guy said he loved looking at his girlfriend's face whenever they made love. So, I thought…"

"Ahaha!"

"Is that a terrible idea?"

"No. In fact, I think it's a great idea!" She then whispers into his ear. "(I'd be happy to look at your face as well when we do it…)"

With that, they share another kiss with one another, before resuming once more. This time, they make sure to look into one another's faces instead of closing their eyes or looking in other directions. As they do so, they both increase their movements, intensifying by the second.

"Nate! Nate! Ahhh! Ahhhh~!" Yancy screams out as Nate is kissing her neck and chest. "I think I'm...I'm…getting close! Ah!"

"Yancy! I'm close too...Argh…" He then, while attempting to hold himself back, then mutters. "I want to...look at your face when we finish! Haaa…"

Nodding, she then kisses him on the lips, before making direct eye contact with him. "Ah, Nate! Nate!"

"Yancy! Haaaa! Yancy! Arghhhhh!" He then embraces her tightly, burying his head into her chest as he does so.

"Nate! I'm…! Ahhhh!~"

Not long after this, they're both caught up in an overwhelming wave of pleasure, with Yancy's face showing a euphoric smile, while Nate is also smiling, satisfied he could keep his promise and be rewarded with the gorgeous sight in front of him. After a minute of staying embraced to one another, they engage in one last, passionate kiss, before letting go and lying down next to one another.

"Ahaha, that was great." She tells him, clearly satisfied.

"Yeah, that was indeed...Say, do you think you could...lend me that manga that Rosa recommended to you?"

"Um, sure...That is, if you could lend me that other book you mentioned too."

Instead of replying, he simply nods, agreeing to the arrangement. Not long after, both of them fall asleep in one another's arms.

…

The next morning…

…

"Say, Nate…" Yancy asks Nate while taking a sip of tea over the breakfast table. "I've been thinking again…"

"About what?" Not long after taking a bite off his toast, he then realizes, based on her body language, what she intends on asking him. "Wait, is this about what your parents said last night?"

"Yes…" After a brief pause, she then continues with "I'm...not actually against it. You being my fiance, that is."

Smiling at her confession, he finally replies with a decisive answer himself. "Admittedly, after clearing my mind...I'm not against it either."

"Nate…" She then stands up and hugs him, happy that they were able to come to an agreement.

"I don't want to get married immediately, though. Maybe when the time is right. When we're already adults."

"(Sure…)" She whispers into his ear while continuing to hug him. "(I don't feel like marrying immediately, either.)"

…

And so, later that same morning, at the Ruri Estate…

…

"Here you go, dad." Not long afterward, Yancy hands her back to her father his credit card. "We had a wonderful dinner at the new train car restaurant in Anville Town."

"That's great you two." He replies. "Me and your mom will probably try that place out when we have the time."

"Anyways, did you two finally come to a decision regarding our discussion last night? Ahaha!" Mrs. Ruri asks half-jokingly. Unbeknownst to her, her daughter and Nate actually have come to a decision…

"Well, mom, umm…"

"We, uh…"

"Hm?" For a while, Mrs. Ruri remains puzzled regarding the couple's replies. "Wait. You mean you two finally came up with a decision!?"

"Yes, mom."

"We did, Mrs. Ruri." Nate then continues with "We, uh...both agreed to the idea. I'm willing to be Yancy's fiance, on the condition we'll only marry when we both feel the time is right, like when we're both adults."

"That's great!" Mrs. Ruri says enthusiastically while clapping her hands. "Did you hear that, Jack?"

"Yes, Elizabeth, I did." From his tone and body language, it was clear that Mr. Ruri was just as happy as his wife at that very moment, proud that his daughter and Nate had managed to come to an agreement. "Now, Nate. I'm glad that you finally made a decision. But, are you really sure you're ready for taking on this responsibility?"

"Yes, sir."

"We've made up our mind, dad. For real."

Curious, Mrs. Ruri then asks. "What made you two change your minds so quickly, though?"

Her question catches the young couple completely off guard. Immediately, both of their faces end up red with embarrassment, with both unsuccessfully trying to dodge the question and stuttering in the process.

Unfortunately for them, Mrs. Ruri immediately realizes what's going on. "Ahahaha, don't tell me you two spent some 'alone time' together last night!?"

"Mom, please stop it!"

"..."

Fortunately for them, Mr. Ruri intervenes in the nick of time. "Dear, I think that's enough. What matters is that they've both decided on what they want." He then turns his attention to the still embarrassed Nate. "Now that that's settled, Nate, I'm going to have to tell you that we plan on announcing you as my daughter's fiance soon. We're not sure when exactly, but most likely in a month or two. And be prepared for a lot of press coverage and other related stuff."

"I'm perfectly fine with that, Mr. Ruri." He then continues on with "But I do have another condition."

"And what would that be?"

Instead of Nate answering this time, Yancy explains to her father. "Well…It's about this invitation we got at this convention. And..."

…

Around an hour later, Nate's house in Aspertia City...

…

"I see…" Mrs. Kyouhei says to the young couple seated in front of her. "Well, I won't oppose your decision. In fact…" Suddenly, she hugs her son tightly. "I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks, mom…" He says in a half-embarrassed tone, before hugging her as well.

"Dad's going to be happy when he hears the news later when he gets home."

"A-anyways...Mrs. Kyouhei, we…"

"Oh, don't be so modest, Yancy. You can call me mom from now on!" She replies half-jokingly. Unsurprisingly, this catches the pink-haired girl off guard.

"I...I could never…"

"Hahaha! Just kidding." Mrs. Kyouhei says as she assures the young lady. "So, what else were you going to say?"

"Well, mom…" Nate says in Yancy's stead. "We received this invitation from this Pokemon Professor…"

…

And so, with both of their respective parents agreeing to both their decision and future plans, Yancy, with Diantha's help, manages to successfully audition for her role in an upcoming Castelia Comics film…

…

"She's…" For a moment, the director of the upcoming film remains silent, having quietly analyzed Yancy's audition. He then comes up with a verdict, with him suddenly shouting. "Perfect! You were right, Ms. Diantha. She's the kind of person we've been looking for to play the role." He then addresses the pink-haired young lady standing in front of him. "We'll be contacting you soon. In about 3 months. Anyways, here's a copy of the film's script, just so you have an idea of what to expect."

"T-thank you, sir." She then bows to the director, before accepting the script now long after.

"Well, Nate." Diantha says to the now former Unova Champion. "That's my end of the deal. I've kept my word. I guess this is where we part ways."

"Thank you, Diantha. If I do get the opportunity, I'll challenge the Kalos League if me and Yancy ever take a vacation there."

"I'll be looking forward to that if ever." The Kalos Champion then turns her attention to the up -and-coming actress next to the young man. "And good luck in your acting career. I'm sure you'll be just like me in due time."

"I-I will…" She then curtseys to the older woman. "I promise I won't disappoint you, Ms. Diantha."

Satisfied at their responses, the Kalos Champion then waves goodbye to the young couple, before making her way out of Pokestar Studios.

...

2 months later…

…

"Hello. I am Christoph of the Celebrity Channel. Today, our biggest celebrity-related news: It appears that Yancy Ruri, formerly known as the TV host and singer Nancy and my own former partner on this channel, has recently been confirmed to be engaged with her boyfriend, the superhero movie actor Nate Kyouhei, also known as Lack-Two. More on this story as it develops…"

…

At the same time, in Aspertia City…

...

"Rosa, could you tell us more about Nate?" A news reporter asks the Trainer.

"I'm sorry." She replies, turning down the reporter's interview offer and running away not long after. After managing to successfully evade a number of other journalists, she mutters to herself "(Well, Nate. You sure were a sneaky one, announcing that after you and Yancy decided to head to Alola together.)" She then chuckles a little. "(Be glad I was nice enough to keep your destination a secret from the press. You're gonna owe me when you and Yancy get back…)"
