Sorry for the delay on this chapter, my good 'friends', stress, anxiety and depression decided to pay a LONG over-stayed visit –They're still lingering around the little buggers so sorry if they show up in this chapter. Not to mention this is my third attempt of this chapter, the first I lost, the second I did finished but was so forced that I hated it and now we got this so lets hope its good! -It probably won't be... Its Kenji based after all-
OH BUT ON A SOMEWHAT UNRELATED NOTE- My vision is terrible right now- Like I'm kinda used to bad vision as I have a lazy eye but its significantly worse to the point where even my good eye is blurry and its pretty hard to see the text on my screen without straining my eyes. So basically, sorry if there are way more mistakes in this than normal- (In all honesty, I shouldn't be writing at all in this condition but I had to do it yesterday so I might as well do it today-)
His gaze was set to the dark street below, his blurred vision made it all look like moving lights in a nights sky but in reality, it was just late-night traffic.
He swallowed another spoon of his beloved chocolate pudding as he watched the vehicles and angry civilians.
He felt sick.
Sick as if his stomach was literally twisting inside him.
He felt bad...
Is this was guilt felt like?
If it was, Kenji sure as hell didn't like it.
It's not like he had a reason to feel bad though, did he? It was her choice and she made it clear as day.
Once it was made, all he did was return to the penthouse and enjoy his pudding.
Enjoy being a loose term as his stomach refused to acknowledge the sweet chocolatey goodness.
It was clearly more concerned with his idiot sisters' safety for some reason.
…
Arceus damn it!
"Stupid-" He stuffed more pudding into his mouth as he growled his complaints, "She'll be fine-"
"Lit?"
His attention was caught and thus he rather dramatically turned so see his worried little Litleo sitting on the kitchen island.
"What are you doing on there?" The small fire type winced at its trainers' unintentional harsh tone. He obediently jumped down and trotted over to his trainer, rubbing and brushing his head against his leg in hopes of calming the blond, "Litleo-" Kenji quickly downed the remainder of his pudding, throwing the now empty tub in a uncomfortably big pile of older discarded pudding containers. The blond then lifted his best friend, tickling Litleo between his ears making the widdle kitty purr- "We won't see Trinity for a while now, so it's just gonna be us-"
"Litleo! Lit! Litleo lit leo!"
He looked down to the cub bleakly, having no idea as to what he was trying to tell him and thus Kenji returned him to the floor. Litleo glared as he watched his trainer retrieve yet another pudding cup. "Need to buy bigger tubs-" The Pokémon sighed, running over to the ridiculously big pile of abandoned containers.
"Litleo!"
"Don't judge me puttycat!" His trainer screamed back, not even bothering to look away from the bowl now filled with at least four cups worth of pudding –the empty containers from which sat in a small pile next to him- "You'd do the same if you could eat it-"
"Liiiiittt-" The Pokemon growled but picked up one of the tubs and began the hard task of throwing each out one by one.
Kenji –now pouring a sixth tub of pudding into his bowl- went back to his thoughts. It was probably a mistake to do that but he did anyway.
Even if he wanted to go back for her, by the time he got there, she'd be gone. He also can't contact her as she apparently blocked his number- In all honesty, he couldn't understand what he had done to make her distance herself, he had looked after her, 'fed' her (And by 'fed' I mean 'Ordered her takeout while his diet slowly deteriorated to nothing but chocolate pudding over the past two weeks'), he kept her warm, looked after her Pokémon and gave her space. He even begrudgingly told her stories about Philia in hopes of jogging her memory.
And what did he get in return? A stab in the back and a messy pudding-filled fridge.
Not that the latter was a big deal –to him anyway- but sure as sure if Philia decided to pay her bimonthly visit, she'd defiantly have a cob on him for it.
The fact is, her cob wouldn't be over his health either, it be over the fact that her fridge that she never uses is full of fricken chocolate pudding. 'The only good pudding is mint', one of the many lies she told. 'No Phil, mint is only good with chocolate chips- It's chocolate pudding or no pudding-' and then Trinity would blurt something stupid out like 'I like bubblegum!' In an attempt to defuse the tension between her fellow twins.
Can Kenji even consider himself their twin? Yeah, he was born at the same time but not from the same egg-
He shook his head and stuffed a spoon of fresh pudding in his mouth. 'Stupid Philia distracting-' No more Philia. That was the boy's new rule. The second he emptied the pudding filled fridge, he's going to get all his stuff, go buy even more pudding and leave this place and Philia behind.
The 'protective bother' side of him taking over as he began to mentally plan his escape and retrieval of his sister. His mind was clearly stricken with too many thoughts; pudding not being enough of them- The guilt seemed to have turned into heroism as all he wished was to officially escape the shadow of his slightly older sister and return to the side of the slightly younger one.
And maybe get more pudding on the way, but that's just a bonus.
"Litleo!" He called despite his mouth being filled which chocolatey goodness. The fire-type stopped on its trip to the bin, looking over to his trainer only to see a slight crazed look in his eyes, "Get Goomy and Mareep and start packing!"
Litleo gave a concerned stare but quickly ran over, climbing back onto the island. "Litleo-" He claimed, pushing the trainers' pudding eating hand down, "Litleo lit-" Kenji looked blankly as his Pokemon shook his head in disapproval.
"..." The blond blinked, Litleo was right... He did need more pudding.
He turned back to the fridge about to retrieve another tub but his Pokemon's screech stopped him for a second and he was about to ignore him but he got distracted by something else. The two looked to the sounds curiously and cautiously.
The front door to the penthouse? Yes, it sounded like a something scratching against the metal door handle. Kenji's crazed look fell into dismay when the door finally opened, "…Well shit-"
"Nice to see you too Ken-"
Stood in the doorway, not looking the slightest bit amused was non-other than Philia Quinn. Sunglasses on her head, leather jacket sitting on shoulders and a lot of black makeup painted on her face.
"Damn-" The boy whispered, "And I thought calling you a poser was an understatement-"
Little did you guys know, this story is actually a test to see how many times I can use the word 'pudding'… 22 times... If you were curious-
I regret nothing-
But as the first chapter is officially finished, I'm gonna take some time to work on my other story so it may be a while before we see Trinity again (The other story has really long chapters ^^; ) hope you guys don't mind. I also do have Trinity's design done, I haven't colored it yet but once its up and stuff, I'll leave a link for ya'll. But that's it, hope you enjoyed and I'll see ya next time!
