Chapter 21: Exercise

We'd finished spreading the word of our engagement to our friends and family. Most were surprised, but happy for us. The last thing anyone wanted to do was piss Lance off. That helped.

Mike was one of the most amused, telling me he'd totally had a feeling he knew Lance was going to propose. Leaving the stove on, my ass.

So, it was time to discuss things with the league.

They were unsurprisingly excited, but we immediately shot them down on being allowed to televise our union. We agreed to some photos and magazine articles, but only two reporters were allowed to attend. They wanted to invite champions from other regions, and basically use us to hobnob, and honestly, we didn't mind. They wanted to hold it at the Pokemon League itself, and honestly, we were also cool with that, too, especially since they said they'd take care of the catering!

Honestly, with food and venue checked off, Lance and I only really had to worry about what we wanted ceremony wise. We were aiming for a Fall wedding, which gave us about six months…

The guest list was… as expected between Lance's clan, the pokedex holders, the gym leaders of both Kanto and Johto, and pretty much anyone in the world that was big in pokemon… Thank Arceus they would handle the catering.

When we were finally done handling that several-hour-long debate with the league… it was time to head back home finally.

"So…" I stated carefully, engaged for all of three days. "How did you want to handle finances…?"

Lance shrugged, indifferent. "We should probably sign prenuptials. I don't even want to think about how much money you're sitting on. Beyond that, however you prefer, Silver."

He had to explain what that was the hell a prenup was to me, to which I wasn't that keen on, but since he insisted, I agreed we'd talk to a lawyer. After my father had passed, pretty much an entire lawyer firm had shown up around a month later. They'd sat me down and executed my father's will, and the amount of assets I'd inherited had been shocking. The number of accounts, stocks, and assets were… a lot. It was a tangled mess honestly. It was impossible to tell what money was clean and what was dirty, so I just tried to leave it alone. However, the lawyers' main purpose had been to liquidize assets and transfer it to me as carefully as possible.

Other than signing a lot of paperwork, I really hadn't had to do much. I just had it all sitting in several savings accounts that were in my name now.

So, I dragged Lance upstairs to the study and his eyes pretty much rolled into the back of his head as I showed him the budgets and ledgers. He just casually opened his pokegear and held it up. "I've been donating three quarters of my check to charities. I have a phone bill and utilities for my house. Literally everything else goes to feeding those dragons we call pokemon and beer money. Sorry," he chuckled. "I do have a decent bit in my savings, though."

I just shrugged; thankful he also didn't have millions stashed somewhere. That would have just been ridiculous.

"Since you're rich, how about we remodel the house a bit?"

I tilted my head and Lance shrugged. "It's just a bit old and outdated. I figured we could make it our home, instead of your fathers."

That… sounded kind of nice.

Honestly, that's what we ended up doing over the next couple weeks, too. The house staff were incredibly excited about the idea, too. Contractors poured into the place and started drawing up plans, from the guest rooms, staff rooms, the gym in the basement, the master bedroom and bath, the floors, the paint, the pool outside, the whole thing practically.

I actually didn't stay in the master bedroom; my father's room was just empty. If they were to remodel things though, Lance and I had no excuse not to move in there.

We were adding a lot of creature comforts, too, like instantaneous water heaters, solar panels, heated marble floors, energy efficient appliances… I was incredibly excited by the time planning was done and I signed off on the contracts. Lance was a genius.

"You're just excited about the media room," he chucked, amused.

Damn straight I was! We were converting one of the large offices into a game room, someplace Lance and I could hide away to watch TV, play games, and holy shit all the room I'd have for manga and anime! I was especially excited for that.

They started downstairs though, converting my father's old fitness gym in the basement into something more modern. It'd be nice just being able to work out in the privacy of our own home instead of heading to the gym, and I could just shower downstairs after, too. We'd even been extra enough to add a large bath, hot spring style. The elderly staff had really appreciated that.

The whole remodel would take place over the next year or so, in stages so the staff could move to a different location while their quarters were worked on. I just kind of got used to people working on random parts of the house… Lance and I were busy just being excited to get married. Blue has designed our suits, and she was pumped about it.

For the most part, things were normal. I'd wake up with Lance, shower, eat, head to my gym, and he'd head to the league. Then I'd get off and usually train until Lance came home. We'd then eat dinner, and spend the night together, reading, watching TV… or other extracurricular activities.

I was just doing pull ups one morning I wasn't heading to the Viridian City Gym, and nearly jumped out of my skin when strong hands grabbed my hips and tugged my ass against… oh wow. "Lance," I moaned, instantly feeling warmth in my gut. How could he do this to me? It was like my body was under his spell.

He gently ground his stiff manhood against me, and my grip on the bar weakened when he squeezed the growing bulge in my pants. "Don't let go," he teased.

Oh no. This was not going to end well.

My eyes widened when I hear the crack of a bottle of lube opening. "Why do you have lube?" I uttered in surprised.

"I had prior intentions," Lance replied casually, and there went my pants.

There was something horribly embarrassing about dangling there bottomless. I had pretty good upper body strength, I had to, to fly with Honchkrow, but I was turning to jelly at Lance's forwardness. I pretty much mewled like a litten as he pushed two fingers in me.

We'd had sex in Saffron once, up against the cold window on a freezing cold night on my birthday, the whole city sparkling below us… but I didn't feel as exposed even then.

I had to lock my hands together, so I didn't lose my grasp as Lance pushed himself into me. It took me every ounce of self-control I possessed not to cry out.

"You're so quiet," he teased me, getting a bit rougher with his thrusts.

"Anyone can just, ah, just walk in, Lance," I uttered pitifully. My cock was killing me, I couldn't even touch myself. I knew he was doing this on purpose! I decided my pride just wasn't worth it. "Please touch me," I pleaded softly.

"I can't say no to that tone…" he chucked breathily, and I arched as he wrapped his hand around my cock. Oh Arceus… Lance's breath caught at my movement, and I was surprised when I felt him pulsing inside of me. He was done?! What the hell?!

"Lance," I hissed threatening, half about to kill him.

He just hummed happily, and I was so red I probably matched my hair as he pulled out of me. I could feel his cum dripping out of me onto the mat below. Talk about feeling used. I was honestly feeling… even more hot and bothered…

Then he got on his knees in front of me and easily took me down his throat. I couldn't help crying out. "Lance, I-I oh, fuck, I can't hang on."

"Then don't," he stated happily, going right back down on me, wrapping his arms snuggly around my waist. I trusted him, finally letting my grip slip. He just pulled me tight, taking me deep and keeping me raised up. I arched and tangled my fingers though his hair. My heart was beating like crazy, and the pressure was just too much.

I shivered in pleasure as I came, and then tried not to laugh when Lance choked of all things.

"Warning," he choked out and I just shyly averted my gaze, shivering as he set me on the ground. There was always warning, he just hadn't been paying attention! Damn. I needed to wash up and get some clothes on… Blue was probably coming soon. But… I gently nuzzled close to Lance, flushing as he pulled me into his arms and kissed me.

He tasted salty, unsurprisingly. It was both embarrassing and a slight turn on.

"That was fun," I admitted shyly, still a touch breathless, my pulse racing.

He smirked and winked at me. "I've wanted you since this morning, but I know how you are about morning sex. Watching you was my last straw. I have to admit that was a really nice position. But yeah, I didn't mean to finish so fast. Oops."

"Next time then. I have to go get ready to meet Blue. You should uh, clean this up."

I gave him a kiss on the tip of his nose, and he just rolled his eyes as I got up. I grabbed my boxers and soft athletic pants I'd had on prior to Lance's interruption and just pulled them back on. My backside and thighs were still slick with Lance's cum, and I was intending to take a shower before Blue came over anyway.

So, when I headed upstairs and found her sitting on the couch, my blood went a bit cold. She raised an unimpressed eyebrow at me, and my blood went colder. "Oh, hey, you're early."

"Nope," she replied casually.

Oh shit. Not a good tone. "I, uh, was just about to take a quick shower."

"Might be a good idea after getting railed like that," she stated cheerfully.

My worst fear was true. I bowed my head in defeat. "Uh, sorry…"

She just raised that unimpressed eyebrow higher. "I certainly saw more of my little brother than I expected to see. Go shower."

Kill me. I didn't argue and quickly took my opportunity to escape. Just kill me.

I wasn't entirely unsurprised to see Blue sitting on the bed when I stepped out of the shower. I just sighed weakly, I'd grabbed a pair of gray cargo pants, but not a shirt.

"At least you're clearly not shy about sex now," she offered casually.

I just flushed all over again. "Well… yeah…" I'd been having sex for years, of course I'd gotten used to it… What was wrong about that? "Sorry. Did you maybe want to take measurements another day…?"

She just sighed and shook her head. "No, it's fine. I was just a bit surprised. I only ever caught you and Gold kissing. You and Lance were definitely, uh, in the middle of things. Also, Lance is huge. Not sure how you manage that one."

I was so beyond embarrassment I was getting annoyed at this point. This wasn't lighthearted teasing; she was being cruel to me. Honestly, I'd expected her to tease me and cheer, not get pissed. "Blue," I warned softly, "yes, we were having sex in our home. I'm sorry you walked in on us. I didn't hear the door."

She frowned, clearly annoyed right back at me. "You want to marry Lance, but do you honestly do anything besides fuck?"

"Uh, yeah? Maybe you'd know if you actually got to know him?"

"You and Gold wouldn't have been doing that. I just… I feel Gold was gentler with you, and a bit more loving."

I bristled, officially annoyed. "Yeah, you're right, Gold and I wouldn't have. I didn't exactly have the confidence to do something like that with him. Sorry you didn't watch long enough to see us cuddling at the end. Blue, Lance makes me feel… I feel so confident and loved. If I hadn't wanted him, I would have told him to behave and leave me alone, and he would have. Gold would have nagged me until I got fed up enough to leave. Lance and I live together, and we spend all our time not working at each other's sides."

She just sighed weakly. "Silver, after you got raped, he just cut you off from everyone else and just monopolized you. And being hypersexual isn't that rare after."

I was officially pissed. How dare she! He was the only one who'd been by my size. "I thought we addressed this."

"Lance isn't a good person," she stressed softly.

"Neither am I," I replied coldly.

"Both of you settle down," Lance snapped at us both, striding into the room. "Blue, I love Silver. Also, please don't bring that up. There's a time and a place. Silver, be nice to your sister. She's your family and she's just worried about you."

Lance just took a breath, rubbing the back of his head, looking us both over. He just shook his head and sighed. "I never cut Silver off from any of you. Did I or did I not call you repeatedly and ask you to come?"

Blue adverted her gaze and nodded. "I know. But I didn't know what had happened."

"He was in surgery for hours! They'd hit his heart, Blue. He would have been dead in minutes if those pokemon hadn't poured pure energy into every cell in his body for over an hour! That other part was something for him to tell you himself if he was comfortable. The look in his eyes when he didn't see you or Gold there near destroyed him. I did what a decent friend would do. It isn't my fault I loved him, and that he reciprocated my feelings. Also, yes, we have a lot of sex in our home, and sometimes we get a bit feisty. You were also early."

Hah! I knew I hadn't lost track of time that bad. Did she really not want me to marry Lance this bad!?

"Lance, I just don't trust you," she finally admitted. "Silver hasn't seemed like himself. I've been worried, and when he said you two were engaged, I was happy for him, but it's been bothering me ever since. Dating is one thing, marriage is…"

"That's fair," Lance returned. "I don't exactly have a squeaky-clean past. I've killed a lot of people. I killed some more last year even, after they hurt Silver. However, I've always taken care of Silver. I made him lead in everything when we first started to date, every kiss, every time we made love… And I've been trying to be the best partner I can for him. He's been glowing. He's playful and so very strong, Blue. He's been happy, can't you tell? Silver has managed to earn my full respect practically since he was a kid. I trained him, and I accidentally developed feelings that weren't exactly appropriate given our ages. But now there's nothing exactly wrong with it, and I don't see any point holding back from the idea of marriage. You married pretty fast yourself."

"And I regret it," Blue stressed softly.

Oh… so that's what this was. I sighed gently and sat next to her. "Blue, things worked out for you and Green though, right?"

She nodded. "But it was all just so fast. I wish we could have dated longer and lived together longer. It got even harder when I lost the baby and… I just wish we would've been better prepared. I thought I was ready, too."

"Blue," I stressed gently, "I'm ready. If I'm really not, then I need to make this mistake. I want to be with Lance, and I want to marry him."

She lowered her eyes, clearly giving up. "I'm still excited for you, regardless," she offered, and I smiled. I guess Lance and I would just have to convince her with our actions. "Sorry, I guess I'm feeling what you were feeling back then. You're all grown up, I mean, I knew you already were, but… yeah…"

I gently laid my head on her shoulder, smiling faintly. "Yeah, yeah. So, were you going to take my measurements or not?"

"Yeah. Lance, you too. I'll grab you when I'm done with Silver."

Lance looked so thrilled! I smirked at him. He just sighed and left the room, looking like a pissed off dragon.

That's when Blue got to work, manhandling me the whole way. I was half used to the abuse from childhood.

"Hell, you've definitely gotten bigger," she uttered, measuring my arms. "And uh, yeah, wow," she uttered, laying her hand on my stomach.

I just flushed, totally embarrassed. She also held up several swaths of colors against me, humming and hawing. My eyes could not detect the differences in the six different reds and 12 different blacks she held up against me. She finally finished through and nodded happily. "I should have the rough copy done in about two weeks, and then I'll fine turn as needed. So, are you excited?"

"Absolutely. We decided we wanted to go to Kalos for our honeymoon since I speak enough French to get us by. We're going to go backpacking and stay at a resort for a few days in the middle to relax a bit."

Blue and I had been forced to learn a few different languages under the Mask of Ice, I spoke both Japanese and English fluently. I spoke enough French and Spanish to get by, but I hadn't put too much effort into the languages lately. She smiled faintly as I excitedly launched into the plans we'd laid out, but she didn't seem super into it, so I slowly trailed off, feeling awkward for talking so much.

"Sorry," she offered softly. "I kind of realized Green and I never took much of a honeymoon."

"It's never too late," I offered gently. "I don't mind looking after Topaz."

She nodded, just looking a bit down.

"Is everything okay? In general, I mean?"

She nodded, looking pretty beat down, and it hurt to see her like that. I reached out gently, wrapping her in my arms. "It's nothing in particular. Honestly, just seeing you and Lance being so into each other reminded me with how things used to be with Green. Now it feels like we're always working or looking after Topaz. We haven't had any time for each other."

"It's okay to take a break or a vacation every once in a while. You should talk to Green, he's probably just as tired and stressed. Again, I can watch Topaz or I'm sure Daisy could, too."

"That's honestly not a bad idea. Alright, it's Lance's turn to be tormented now."

Urk. Hopefully this wouldn't end terribly. I wasn't allowed to follow, so I just curled up in bed with the latest volume of a manga I'd been reading. I wondered if I could do anything for Blue to make her life easier…

I looked up in surprise as Lance stepped into the bedroom eventually. "You survived," I noted, humming happily when he gently kissed me. He must have managed to take a shower downstairs while Blue had been measuring me. I could easily catch the scent of his bodywash.

"Yeah, mostly she apologized and threatened me. I expected it."

"Sorry," I offered on her behalf.

Lance just shrugged and laid down next to me. I loved his body next to me… He glanced at the volume of manga I was reading and just smirked. "Nerd," he stated teasingly.

I stuck my tongue out at him but set the book aside to snuggle against him. Then he kissed me, and I felt myself melt. "Blue left, right?"

He nodded and kissed me again. There was no way in hell it was going to escalate after what we'd been up to earlier, but it still sparked warmth and happiness in me. There were plenty of times we'd just snuggle together in bed or on the couch, and I loved the affection. Blue didn't know what she was talking about. Lance and I weren't the same as her and Green. We were our own people.
