So this turned out really long and I decided to split it into chapters for this reason. This is the first part enjoy.
Two weeks had passed since we said goodbye in Aspertia city. The trees have lost all their leaves and the Autumn had changed to Winter. I knew as soon as he was freed we would part ways once again, but I didn't expect it to be like this. He paid back his debt there was no reason for him to be working for me. Though I felt similar to how I did previously, before finding the lightstone. Why must everything be so difficult. I just want to talk to him again, tell him everything that has happened over the last few days, but I know he is busy with league stuff. Who knows how much time will pass before we speak or see each other again. The feelings welled up deep inside of my heart, all the doubt and pain from two years ago.
Today I still had to worry about getting home from my day at the studio. I released my Mandibuzz Barbra from her pokeball.
"Ibuzz" she let out a sigh.
"I'm fine, I just need to get home before the weather gets any worse. Would you mind flying me there, to Floccesy town?" Far from the truth but I needed to get home before the overcast turned into a storm. I really didn't want to be snowed in at the studio while I was like this. Barbra without any hesitation took me as quickly as possible to the farm town. The clouds continued to thicken as we flew the short distance from pokestar studios to the small town on the outskirts of Unova.
I entered my front door and proceeded straight to my room, having a hometown relatively close to the studio was a good thing. Of course the town was a small farm town and I would have to use Barbra's help to get to the studio almost everyday but home is home.
"This is hopeless...I'm hopeless!" I sighed as I did a belly flop on my bed my face hitting the pillow on my bed. It was what I dreamed of for so long, Pokemon and people acting together on stage and having fun. I guess it is not such a bad thing that I followed my dreams. At least others are able to have fun and enjoy something I dreamed about for so long. I wonder how Black is doing with the Pokemon league stuff, he is not the champion yet but he is close.
Bianca said that maybe we could all meet up this weekend but I will probably be busy because the studio. Who knows how long it will be before we see each other again. I curled up on my bed hugging my knees, "Why do our dreams keep leading us apart, this is making everything so complicated." Amanda my serperior looked at me concerned from inside her pokeball. "It's nothing Amanda", far from the truth but would she really understand? She was N's Pokemon at one point, but that doesn't mean she knows exactly how I feel. N is a very different person than I am.
Maybe a walk would be good to clear my head. I'm free from the studio tomorrow because it's closed. Why not go see my junior Whitley, who had become one of my closest friends during the second battle with team plasma, since I am closer to Aspertia than Neuvema.
I grabbed my coat and bag then headed out. It's a short walk to Asperitia from where I live so the weather should not get that bad in the time that I was walking.
The sky went from a light gray to dark gray as expected I had Barbra just in case I needed to get out of the weather quickly though. Honestly with everything going on there is so much to talk to Black about. I honestly just want to tell him how much I miss him again and he should come visit the studio soon because it was so busy and I could really use the help. Really just saying that I need help was a cover for spending more time with him.
"Two years of constantly worrying about him and I guess that will never change." I let out a stifled sigh, my breath condensing making it apparent that the temperature was dropping. By now I was on the outskirts of Aspertia, the place where him and I had once said goodbye. I started passing by the stairs to the lookout post and I heard something I know a little too well at this point. I began to run up the stairs the yelling ended, did I miss him. I reached the top of the stairs my eyes the color of the summer sky locked onto his chocolate brown orbs. It started to seem like the world had stopped spinning.
I just paused. His eyes on mine and mine on his, both wide with surprise, yet his slightly glossy. Had he been crying recently? I wonder if he is as torn up about parting as I am, after all he really did try to work towards fighting for Unova in the lightstone but there is no threat currently. Did he accomplish his dream? Many questions creeping through my mind.
"Prez," his voice cut through the silent winter air. "I thought you were at the studio for the week?"
"Well I have tomorrow off so I figured why not come hang out with Whitley since we haven't really talked after the battle against Colress." I responded back. "How's the league stuff going?"
"Well actually, my battle with the elite four and Iris is next week." Disappointment shining through in his voice. I wonder why he decided to take a break from the battles and why did it seem like he has been crying.
"Black if you don't mind me asking what brings you here?" I walked over to him and stood next to him at the railing.
"Oh well I was just thinking I guess." His brown eyes were still glossy from tears.
"That really doesn't explain why you were crying. Would you like to talk about it?" The impending storm could wait this was more important.
"I don't know, I guess the last 2 years has finally caught up to me and I finally realized the many things I missed. Cheren became a teacher, Bianca an assistant to professor Juniper, and you, well you now employee pokemon to act at pokestar studios." Tears once again streamed down his face, "I missed seeing all of you accomplish those dreams."
"Black, dreams can change over time. You should know that better than anyone else. In fact, I wasn't exactly too happy about accomplish that dream knowing you were still in the lightstone. Do you remember what I told Whitley about how I felt in those two years?" My eyes started to water, was it just the cold or those feelings?
"I remember you saying you had to take things day by day, I guess that is probably a good thing to do right now. "
"I was there when Ghetsis trapped you in the lightstone. You kept your promise, I was looking for the lightstone for those two years. Finding you became my new dream for that time." His expression changed, blush creeping across his cheeks.
"Um...I…Uh... I… Guess… I… got to see that dream." He laughed awkwardly. His face was as red as his cap at this point. I lost all control, my emotions taking over, my arms wrapped around him, and my head tilted up, lips crashing into each other. His arms draped across my back and his head tilted a little. I felt cold water on my hands please don't tell me it's raining. We broke apart after a few more seconds. Our eyes did not leave the other for a while. Nothing else really mattered in this moment, we were together and had time to talk without a threat looming over our heads. I glanced up to see white crystals coming down from the sky only to melt on the brim of his cap.
"Let's get out of the snow before we both are sick," I recommended as I reached for his hand. Our fingers intertwined and my face was burning. "I guess my emotions took over, sorry about that." I looked down at my feet the snow starting to pile up.
"No...N-need to feel sorry." He tried to turn his head to hide his face before I notice his face was beet red. I turned my head a little bit more his way smiled.
"Black you know it's fine if you want to forget this ever happened if you want. We really should head to the Pokemon center or trainer school the snow is only gonna get worse". He stayed silent his grip tightening on my hand. "We can talk about it later if you want. We really do need to get out of this storm though. We can talk about what just happened there." I started dragging him by his hand, maybe I scared him a little bit. I hope he doesn't hate me for that. The trainer school would probably be the best option since Cheren works there and at least if we get snowed in it will be with friends.
Chapter 2 will be uploaded soon. I evolved Barbra because she is a good birb and deserved it.
