A few minutes passed before everyone decided to sit back down in their respective seats. It stayed quiet for a moment, nothing but an awkward silence wafting throughout the air. Jake looked towards Todd, then to Lynda, where his gaze finally came to a rest on Kitos. Unable to take the silence any longer, Jake spoke up, "Alright, we didn't originally come here to eat but.. hey, why not? Ya get hungry, right? Not everyone was lucky enough to get a killer breakfast this morning," Jake eyed Kitos. Kitos looked right back at Jake, as if picking up on him mocking him,. "So it seems to me that you're still hungry, even after that big breakfast back at home. Isn't that right, Kitos?"
Kitos raised his arm to his person and pulled the sleeve of his jacket back then tapped the top of his wrist. He cleared his throat which caught the attention of everyone at the table, "Hey, Jake, would you look at that? It says it's breakfast time and to shut up," Jake slowly leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms over his chest, giving Kitos his full attention, "Anytime I come to the café for breakfast, I make sure to get a sausage, egg, and cheese wrap it's a small meal but it does the job. It gives me time for myself to think on thi-"
"Oh I'm sure. Time here at the café with Alura, nonetheless." Lynda spat at Kitos, "Now I finally know where you've been spending your free time. That, and now I know who it has been with. Makes it even better that I been told by your mother that you've been busy with chores!" Lynda bursted out. "I thought we had made an agreement not to see the opposite gender Kitos? Not unless we're together in the same place?"
Kitos turned his attention towards Lynda, looking her up and down before he gave a small chuckle. "Childhood friends are a different case - you've even said so yourself Lynda." Kitos thought for a moment, scratching his chin to think of the right thing to say, "I distinctly remember you mentioning you were going to be hanging out with two of your girlfriends and one of them so happen to have their boyfriend with them. You also just happened to neglect telling me about that. Did I complain? No I did not Lynda."
Kitos turned his attention away from Lynda and took a bite out of his burrito before he muttered under his breath, "Karma is a bitch." Lynda stared at Kitos before she too cussed under her breath. She then turned to Jake,
"Can we get on with this already and finish what you're babbling about Jake? The sooner the better, honestly."
Kitos knew he pissed Lynda off but he didn't care anymore. She lied, kept secrets, and, if he thought about it, he could probably think of other things he brushed off to the side as a no big deal. What else have I even brushed off? What else has she lied to me about other than where she got that scar from? How much more could I find out from Todd or Jake that could be a lie?
Jake clapped his hands together, jerking Kitos from his train of thought. He then rubbed them together with a wild smirk on his face, "Awesome! Now then, the reason we're all here today is for our good buddy Kitos. A wager has been made and it's up to you Kitos to decide who wins and loses this time. See, the fun part is that this bet has been placed on you! Now, the only question is.. are you going to fulfill your part?"
Oh well that's fucking perfect! So I get the shit end of the stick this time? Awesome! Kitos thought to himself. He sighed deeply, Fuck my life right now. So I have to do this bet and, depending if I win or lose, will also decide on who wins what's being wagered.
Kitos took a sip of his root beer and eyed Jake for a moment before he placed it back on the little coaster next to his plate, "Alright, I'll bite. And that would be what exactly?" Kitos asked.
"I'm so glad you asked, Kitos! This also involves you getting something out of this little wager!" Jake now had Kitos' full attention. "You remember sometime ago when you mentioned wanting a certain Pokémon of your own? People never liked said Pokémon because of the rumors it had with its reputation, right?"
Without any warning, Jake pulled a Luxury Ball off his belt and placed it upon the table, surprising everyone. Kitos was unable to peel his eyes away from the beautiful sphere. Jake watched Kitos' reactions, satisfied that he was correct in his judgement. He had Kitos right where he wanted him. "I know you've been wanting this particular Pokemon for quite sometime, correct?" Jake asked him. Kitos gave a simple nod and listened to Jake's questions carefully.
"You're aware of the old Poké ball factory that's been shut down for almost thirty years, right?" he asked. "You know - the one my mother warned everyone, even myself, to stay away from?"
Kitos kept staring at the Poké ball, not moving his sights off it. "So.. what's that place got to do with this bet? Let alone me?" Kitos looked up when he saw Jake lean forward, the same smirk widening on his face,
"Kitos, my friend. This Poké ball will officially be yours if you stay inside that same Poké ball factory we're all warned about from sunset tonight until the break of dawn tomorrow morning."
Jake leaned back in his seat and put his elbows on the table. He watched Kitos' reactions and expressions as he thought, "This wager is whether or not you stay inside the building during the time frame I've given you. If you do this successfully, this," he motioned to the pokeball on the table. "is yours to take home and do with as you please. However, if you run out before dawn then you are stuck with, not only the consequences, but you will become Lynda and I's chore boy for an entire four months."
Kitos blinked for a moment, already knowing how the bets with the group always worked. However, compared to all the others, this was a pretty damn big bet. It was a lot bigger than the group had usually done. It was always a small bet with a small wager; they were nothing like this. However, something was now bugging him. "What do you mean yours and Lynda's chore boy? This is a hell of a deal here but why is it I have to have the giant end of the shit ridden stick?"
Jake laughed a little, "We all do our best on our bets and deal with, if we win or lose, the consequences. We also know you like taking big risks in a challenge and this just so happens to be one of them." Jake took the ball off the table and clipped it back to his belt while looking Kitos in the eyes. "Don't tell me you're backing out now." he mocked.
Lynda smirked as she placed a sheet of paper on top of the table. Written upon the document were the rules that were explained to him just moments ago, what he would win if he succeeded, and what happen if he were to lose. Upon closer inspection, he even saw their wagers. On the bottom of the paper was everyone's signature, minus Kitos'.
Kitos noticed under the win and lose wager section the group made was a relative blank space, minus a few names. It was split into two sides - one indicated if Kitos would win while the other would lose. All of their names were in the areas, placing their bets if he would win or not. That was weird to him because they never placed bets until they discussed every single detail. However, what stood out most what that he saw Lynda and Jake's signatures were on the losing side indicating that they were betting on Kitos to lose this bet. Todd was the only one who signed on the winning side.
Kitos was infuriated.
"Okay, Jake. You I'm not surprised by you betting against me? I'm really not." Kitos said. "But Lynda? You're betting against me as well? That's pretty cold, hun." Lynda shrugged and looked deep into Kitos' eyes.
"Personally, I don't think you've got the balls to do it. Let's face some of the facts here on why we think you'll lose." Lynda said. She then looked at Todd, "Well, besides Todd. He thinks you'll do it." She brought up her hand and started listing things off, "One, you're afraid of the dark. Two, you can't keep focused on anything for a certain amount of time before getting bored."
Lynda took a sip of her water before she decided to continue. "Normally I would be willing to support you.. but as of right now? No, and I'll explain why." Lynda paused, waiting for Kitos' full attention. "I expect you to listen to what I'm saying right now. Back down and give up on this bet." she told him.
Kitos sat there for a moment, drinking in what she just said for a moment. Yes, he was afraid of the dark and his attention span did hinder him at times, but did she have to find it so necessary to call them out like this?
"Oh! And this is personal, just so you know Kitos." Lynda said, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Lately, you've been a bit of a bitch. Personally, I was hoping you and I could talk things out tonight but, after you decided that pestering me for answers about the past once more, even after I told you to leave it alone, I decided against it. You just kept asking. Besides," Lynda pulled out five thousand poké and placed it upon the table over the wager sheet. "I'll lose money if your to win this bet. But if you lose I'll get double the cash so I honestly hope you can make the right choice in this relationship, Love."
Kitos gaze never left the pile of money. He was shocked. Eventually, he turned to Jake and saw he now placed a bundle of money, one that was twice the size of Lynda's, on the table. "I'm wagering ten thousand Poké if you lose this bet. Keep in mind though - if you win this then the Pokéball and what we wager in prize money is yours. Hell, Lynda by default keeps her money if you win since you two are together. Even if you lose, it doubles. So, either way, she has an advantage in this bet which sucks for me."
Todd looked towards Kitos and gave a weak sigh, "I figure you'll win this wager and, if you do, Jake here is willing to pay me five thousand Poké on the side to help with my current situation greatly. If you lose I have to be his chore boy as well.. but only for a month."
Jake took this moment to pipe in as well, "Todd, since you think you're confident that Kitos will win this, how about we add a little extra to this wager and cut down on that chore time? That is if you're interested?" Todd turned his attention to Jake, giving him his full attention for him to continue.
"How about this. If Kitos wins like you think he will, you'll get paid double what I'm currently offering. If Kitos loses though, you'll be stuck doing my chores but for only half the month." Jake was happy when he saw Todd happy with the offer. But he knew it was too good to be true. "But here's the catch."
"I knew it.. There's always a catch.." Todd mumbled.
"Luna here," Luna's ears perked up when she heard her name called, "will have to train with my Magmar while you're busy doing my chores. I'm sure she could use the training since I'm one hundred percent sure she's never had any real battle experience."
Todd looked down at the table for a moment but returned his attention back to Jake when he heard him continue, "So. if Kitos wins then you'll get paid double what I've offered you. But, if he loses, you're stuck doing my chores. Luna will benefit on this by getting some training. So would that work for you and Luna both?"
Kitos was glaring at Jake while Todd and Luna were looking to one another for an answer on their choice. That son of a bitch. He knows Luna doesn't have any kind of experience at all! His Magmar is a battle Pokémon. Luna would get severely hurt! That's not a benefit. That's a fucking trap!
"We'll accept the new wager on the bet Jake. Luna thinks it seems like it'll be a fair deal."
Kitos threw his hands in the air, looking at Todd as he did, "Dude. What the hell? Seriously?"
Todd started waving his hand defensively, "Kitos, I'm hoping you do win this bet so Luna and I don't have to do chores or training but we need to take this risk." Todd lowered his head some, his eyes meeting the table as he spoke. "My parents really need the money Kitos. I'm sorry! I really need you to win this! The only problem is.."
Todd paused for a moment, gulping down the lump in his throat, "Rumors have been going around that trainers who have went inside that building have never came back out. It's said that some kind of Pokémon lives there and that it feeds off the flesh of trainers that wonder inside."
Jake tapped the table, getting Kitos' attention once more, "So? Are you going to do it or are you gonna bitch out on us?"
Kitos was about to speak before he heard Lynda speak up, "Kitos is going to lose either way so it's better for him to just forfeit now and not lose what dignity and respect he has from all of us."
Kitos was beyond pissed at this point. It was already bad enough she had, not only lied to him, but even bitched him out earlier. Now she seemed to be getting a little bold and, what seemed to be, controlling of what he should and shouldn't do unless she was with him. She had called him out on hanging out with his friend without her knowing because she was a girl, betting against him so she would benefit off him instead of supporting him, and now she was basically bashing him by he was going to lose no matter what happens. Kitos was finally realizing what kind of person Lynda really is.
Kitos anger-filled stare could be compared to daggers with how much anger he put into them. He was losing any respect for this.. This.. Bitch.. you are a fucking bitch!
Kitos lowered his gaze, his mind now struggling to grasp the emotional turmoil he was enduring. It hurt him deeply he honestly felt that way of someone he cared about, let alone someone he called his girlfriend. And as if to make it even better, Jake had twisted the bet in his favor to boot.
Luna was now involved in this dangerous deal. He twisted it to make it seem like he would be helping Todd's family and getting the ability to protect them all but it was just a trap to hurt them. Todd I know you're in desperate need for cash, but don't let her get involved in this.. Kitos thought to himself. You both may have discussed this together as equals but Luna can't fight Jake's Magmar.. He's a battler. Luna isn't and Jake knows it. Please just realize what's going on..
Kitos sat up in his seat where he was met with Jake's gaze. The gaze said enough and that he was awaiting an answer. Kitos then looked to Todd who also was waiting for him to answer. Luna's ears were shifting from a perked to a more lowered position, wondering if Kitos was going to be okay or not. His eyes finally turned to Lynda who seemed to have hint of caring. "Are you going to give us an answer or are you going to sit there and sulk like a damn brat?" was all she said.
"It's nothing to be concerned about - just let it go."
"You would have given an excuse no matter what the fuck I said."
"Just fucking drop it, Kitos!"
"Stupid Mutts."
"You're fucking annoying the shit out of me."
"I don't wanna listen to your bullshit anymore!"
Kitos thought back to her earlier comments and they clawed away at his emotions. He hated how she treated him. He took a deep breath and straightened up in his seat.
Sorry to break it to you Lynda, but after everything you've said today, and from the past..
"..I've made my choice.."
Alura's PoV
Alura was resting against the outside areas entrance frame, Kitos' full drink resting in paw, as she overheard the exchange of offers within this.. 'bet'. Even from where she was, she felt Kitos' emotions all over the place. They were mixed with stress, anger, uncertainty.. hatred.. His emotions are all over the place. What exactly is going through your mind Kitos..
Her attention snapped from her thoughts and back to Kitos when she saw him sit up. As he talked, Alura thought back on what her mistress had told her, it finally made sense.
-Flash back thirty minutes ago-
Alura was still panting when she finally caught back up to Rebecca, her face slightly flushed from her previous joke. "I can't believe you'd make a condom joke like that.. Not funny.." Rebecca stood by the doorway to her office for a moment before she turned to face Alura. She was unsure of what to say when she saw her mistress' expression was serious. "Mistress?" With a sigh, she motioned Alura to come in and sit. Complying, Alura walked into the office and went straight for the seat.
"You seriously love Kitos, don't you sweetie?" she half asked, half said. Alura was caught off guard by the question. She didn't know how to answer. Should she be honest? Should she tell a little white lie to cover it up? Eventually, she nodded,
"I do Mistress. Ever since we were kids, I've always had a soft spot for him. I'm afraid of what he might say though since we're older now. When we was younger we were more curious and un-"
"Until you were both caught." Rebecca interrupted and continued. "And by his mother nonetheless! You realize that if you both had tried to do that there, things might have ended differently for all of us, don't you?" Alura sunk into her seat, nodding meekly.
"Y-yes.. when she caught us." Alura answered with a blush. She coughed into her paw, hoping to cover her own blush.
"Checking each other's personal spots." she turned away blushing even brighter when she noticed her Mistress's serious expression had turned into a savage grin. "That is why you two don't see eachother often. Because you-"
"I know! She caught me.. and he was.. going to.. well.." Alura was flushed, unable to continue her sentence. The fur on her cheeks showed a tint of purple with how much she was blushing. She lowered her ears submissively with a small, defeated whine. It was her own way of asking her mistress to stop teasing her and the past. Rebecca gave a slight giggle and crossed her arms,
"Alright, I'll stop.. For now! However Alura, listen to what I'm about to tell you." Alura's ears perked and she straightened her posture, giving her mistress her full attention. "The people of this town don't like these kind of relationships. But I know it won't change your mind whatsoever. Just know that I support your decision in whatever you do from here on out, okay?" Rebecca received a nod from Alura, knowing she fully understood. "Thank you Alura. Also, before he leaves our restaurant, when he isn't around or near his friends or that girl, open up to him one on one. Tell him how you feel already."
Alura was a little stunned by how her mistress got annoyed about how she continued to hesitate about opening up to Kitos. Her mistress knew and didn't mind the idea with how close they had always been, but his mother was a completely different story though. "I.. I'll do it. i promise I will!"
"Dont Promise me. Just keep your promise to him."
-End of flashback-
Alura lifted her head, pulling herself from her memories. Hearing Lynda speak, Alura refocused her attention to the situation back outside. "Are you going to give us an answer or you gonna sit there and sulk like a damn brat?" Alura's ears flattened and growled which was unnoticed by most, except by a Kirlia and Braixen that were close by. The two noticed Alura's sudden attitude shift. Oh how I wish I could just drag you to that fucking door and throw you out myself, you arrogant bi-
She stopped herself when she noticed her focus was back on Kitos. Her aura sensory began to pick up on his emotions through his aura, only they were getting worse as time went on.
"I've made my choice."
Alura sighed weakly, hearing his tone of voice. She noticed the pain within it. Sallie walked over quietly and interrupted her thoughts. 'It would be wise for you to go out there before he says something he may regret, Alura.' she said, snapping Alura from her thoughts. Alura, Sallie and the Braixen peeked over and saw the group staring at Kitos who seem to be visibly shaking. The Braixen looked to Alura, 'He needs a distraction and a damn good one so get that cute ass out there girl and give him a reason to smile already!'
Before Alura could say anything, she felt her backside getting a swift jab from the Braixen's stick, causing her to jump slightly. The action revealed her presence to both Todd and Luna who turned their attention to Alura as she casually walked over to the table with Kitos' drink in paw. Oh you're so dead for this one, Casandra! Alura thought to herself.
Walking over to Kitos, she sat his drink down next to him and coughed into her paw which snapped him from his thoughts. "Sorry if it took so long. Here's the refill. I, uh, realized you didn't need one so I just got you a fresh drink instead." she scratched the back of her ear, slightly blushing.
Pov change Kitos-
Kitos waved her off with a smile when he saw her blushing and scratching her ears nervously, "Don't worry about it Alura! I can't blame you with how I sort of snapped." he paused for a moment then continued, "I don't normally do that." He sighed weakly but he continued, "I don't appreciate hypocrites. You do your job, you work hard, and you take care of everyone's needs. You've never slacked on any of your work, even when you're being the part time cook."
Kitos looked towards Jake with a smirk, "I'm taking this bet, and I agree to the terms of this wager." Todd and Luna both gave a subtle smile as Todd pulled Luna into a strong hug.
Jake nodded and placed a pen on the table for him to sign, "Alright, bro. Just sign the bottom and we can get this rolling tonight!" Kitos picked up the pen without any hesitation and placed the tip of the pen on the line.
"Now just hold the fuck on Kitos! I thought you'd be a little more reasonable here?" Lynda tried to interrupt him. "Come on now. If you just give up the bet I'll double the money and of course you'd get half an-" Kitos lifted his hand from the paper and halted Lynda mid-sentence. He turned his attention to his girlfriend and gave her a cheshire grin,
"Oh, well, I guess i forgot to mention this but.. I don't plan on losing either."
Lynda scowled at Kitos before she slammed her hands on the table causing everyone's food and drink to bounce on the table, alerting Alura to get ready for any spills that might happen. "You're a damn idiot, Kitos. It would have been so much simpler to just quit and get paid. But no, as usual you have to make it difficult on everyone around you!"
Luna muttered under her breath, "Arrogant, selfish bitch only thinks for herself. Kitos really needs to seriously kick your ass to the curb and I don't even know you. Lowly cu-" she felt her ear get pinched lightly, making her weakly yowl. She looked up and saw Todd looking down at her, letting her know that she needed to calm herself. That only caused her to huff in irritation while Todd gave a defeated sigh.
Kitos only shook his head and laughed, "Tough shit, Lynda. This is my decision to make. Not yours. You made yours by betting that I'll lose just like you made it your choice to lie to me."
Jake sat there whistling at Kitos before he put his index finger to his arm and make a fake sizzling noise, "Kitos took the bet and made a permanent burn on some ego today!" he laughed. Lynda turned her attention to Jake. glaring daggers into his soul,
"Fuck you Jake! This ain't even your damn argument! I swear to arceus I'll-"
Kitos turned away from Lynda while she and Jake got into it and looked up to Alura. She stood there for a moment, her ears fell as she looked Kitos in his eyes. Her eyes was laced with disappointment and shame knowing he made better choices than what he was doing now. She turned and walked back inside the café, leaving Kitos sitting there.
Kitos just stared at where Alura once stood, lowering his head now in deep thought. He saw the look she had given him. It was concern and worry but the one that seemed to stand out the most.. The one that hurt him the most..
Disappointment.
Standing up from his seat, Kitos started towards the café entrance but he heard the argument stop as Jake called out to him, "Kitos, dude, where are you going?"
Kitos turned his attention to them but spoke calm and firmly, "I'm headed for the restroom. I won't be long. I just need some time to properly think on things as of right now so I need to be alone."
"And hopefully to shit the anger from his attitude." Lynda remarked. Jake waved him off and decided to keep his argument up with Lynda. Todd saw Kitos was emotionally drained but what he and Luna both noticed is the pain that was evident in his eyes before he walked out.
Kitos walked back inside the café and headed straight for the restrooms, ignoring everyone for the moment. As he was about to enter, he stopped himself and looked down towards the floor. He turned and leaned against the restrooms frame, not even caring who saw him. The only thing on his mind was what to do now.
His relationship with Lynda might as well have been over. She just didn't seem to care about Kitos' well being or feelings at all. She didn't care for his safety about going to the old Poké ball factory that was deemed dangerous. She was only concerned on doubling her money from the bet. She was even willing to emotionally hurt Kitos' to get him to give up. She also knew Todd's family is having financial issues but she wasn't thinking about their dilemma at all. Kitos was now seeing a side of Lynda he never expected to see at all.
He was pulled from his thoughts when he felt someone take ahold of his shoulder. He stood there, wanting to ignore whoever grabbed his shoulder but he knew exactly who it was and he couldn't ignore her.
"Why Kitos?"
Alright! The bet is revealed and going to happen! Tension is rising and things are getting heated! In more ways than one chapter 7 is coming soon so be ready!
