"How did we meet you red yoshi?" umbreon asked "well, it was like this" he finished and looked up.
"Well i had just turned 19, and was living in my own house at the time, it was much smaller than the one we have now but it called it home. I was unpacking my stuff which only had about 3 medium sized boxes and 2 small ones, i had just opened one when i heard a knock at my door, it was raining so i found it odd that there would be a knock at that time of night and when it was pouring rain, so i opened the door. NOTHING could prepare me for what i saw at the other end. I opened the door and saw a espeon holding an eevee in her arms, she was bruised and crying, so i invited her in, but she said no. i asked what's wrong and she said that her husband was trying to kill her child and she wanted me to hide it until she was able to come back, so i agreed and took the eevee so i could keep it safe...but she never came back. I decided that i would take it in as my own. About a year later the eevee evolved into an umbreon, so i decided no name you umbreon cause i have no idea how to name things. About 14 or so years later, umbreon told me that she had a crush on a flareon, so she invited you to the house. When i saw you for the first time my heart sank, you were skinny, beat up and you looked like you had just finished crying, i asked what was wrong and you said nothing, but i could tell you were lying. I made you and umbreon some dinner and i could tell you were getting along quite well, until you got a call which made your mood do a 180, i asked what's wrong and you said your mom was going to ground you for not doing your chores, i asked what your chores were and my heart sank again at the list you showed me, you only had one hour of time to yourself, you told me that your dad beats you when you do one little mess up, you told me this and i asked umbreon a question that changed your life, i asked her if she wanted you to stay with us. I couldn't be prepared for what she said, she said that the reason she liked you is because she wanted to take you away from your abusive family, so we did. You were so happy to be out of that house, you cried for about an hour on my chest, thanking me for getting you out of there, i made a promise that i would keep you two happy, but i think you made each other happier, and seeing you two together has made me happy as well." red yoshi finished telling the story, umbreon was in tears and flareon was shedding a few himself, the fact that red yoshi saved them both from abusive parents, "so, are we like your kids?" umbreon asked "well you are, i raised flareon like a friend" red yoshi said, his voice was getting dryer by the moment, until he began "flareon, please, do it" he said.
Flareon looked at him in shock, he completely forgot about the plug, "red yoshi i can't" flareon said, "flareon listen to me, i can't put up with this pain for another month, please" red yoshi said.
Flareon reached for the plug, until red yoshi said "flareon, i want you to give my room to samantha, just know that i love you all" with a light voice, at that last comment, umbreon burst into tears and took sarah with her outside.
Umbreon was crying in her forepaws until flareon walked out with tears streaming down his face, "flareon, is he….?" she asked, ye looked up and buried his face in her chest and started crying "yes, he's gone, he's in peace now" flareon said through sobs.
Once they got home, umbreon ran up to her room, flareon went to break the news to sarah. Umbreon opened sarah's door and saw sarah and sosha asleep in a spooning position, she decided to let her sleep in and left her room. Umbreon walked back to her room and passed red yoshi's room, she looked and remembered that red yoshi wanted them to give his room to samantha, so she slowly creaked the door open, and gasped at what she saw.
Umbreon saw red yoshi's room for the first time ever. Umbreon stood in shock at what she saw, his room was messier than mike's workshop, his clothes all over the floor, an old bottle of whiskey, and a few beer bottles. She looked around and saw something that deeply disturbed her, she saw many empty medicine bottles on the floor and a few full ones on the desk, she read it and felt hot tears threatening to escape. The label on the bottle said "ANTIDEPRESSANT" in big bold letters. Umbreon stumbled back in shock, she then tripped in a book, she was about to fall until she was caught by someone.
Umbreon looked up and saw the furry face of mike, "t-thanks mike" she said, "no problem" he said. Umbreon looked at the book, she noticed it was a scrapbook, an old one at that, "mike, what's this?" she asked "well, i don't wanna be here when you notice what's inside" he said as he walked out. Umbreon didn't know what he was talking about until she turned the first page, she saw what she guessed was red yoshi in his twenties, he was standing next to what looked like a leafeon, she noticed the leafeon had female curves sh she knew it was female. She looked and saw his hand around her waist, her ruby red eyes widened when she came to the conclusion that the leafeon was his lover! The leafeon was beautiful, umbreon couldn't believe that red yoshi had such a beautiful lover. Umbreon turned the page and saw the two in front of what looked like a smaller version of their house now, still, it was a huge house. Umbreon noticed a small eevee in the leafeon's arms and gasped, she didn't know that red yoshi had a child. Once umbreon turned about six more pages she stopped at one, it looked like red yoshi was alone in the photo, the leafeon and the eevee were both gone, umbreon didn't understand why until she turned the page, and a note fell out.
The note looked like a combination to a safe, but she couldn't find one. She looked everywhere and finally found a huge safe in the corner, it was buried in many clothes and dust, but she found it and put the combination and tried to open it, but struggled due to its age, "damn, this safe must be as old as red yoshi" she said. Finally, the door opened, there she saw what looked like an old photo frame covered in dust, and what looked like a diary. She looked deeper and saw another photo frame, this one being clearer than the other one, it looked like red yoshi and the leafeon, only they were at the beach. Umbreon wiped the other one off and saw it was just another picture of the leafeon, only it was just her in a bikini.
Umbreon took the diary back to her room and sat down on her bed and opened the diary and began to read it.
Red yoshi's pov:
I am about 21 at the moment, my name is red yoshi, i was born in a very wealthy family and i have big goals i want to accomplish, like starty a family and settle down until i die. I have a crush on this leafeon in my college economics class, she's is so cute and nice, i plan on asking her out tomorrow! Uh oh my dad's coming
"Hey son, can i talk to you for a moment?" red yoshi's dad asked, "yeah dad?", "son listen, me and your mother will be sending you off to live on your own for a while, we have rented you a hotel for about 3 weeks, we will see if you're ready to live on your own yet" he said "um okay dad!" he said.
Normal pov
Umbreon kept reading until she read the part when he wrote the good news about the leafeon saying yes: "today i asked the cute leafeon out and she said yes! I can't wait until we start dating im so nervous!", umbreon read and wondered why the leafeon stopped showing up in the photos, she read on until there was a blank page with what appeared to be water drops on the page, she knew this because there were water outlines. Umbreon turned the page and say more words: "dear diary, i can't believe it, about 2 years after we adopted a little eevee, i found leafeon in bed with an umbreon, she cheated on me! We were married and had a kid and she cheated on me i can't believe it, my one true love just betrayed me, i'm not sure if i want to live anymore, she even took the house and i had to go back to my parents for a while, she took my life away from me, my only love...gone.
Umbreon was shocked to no end at what she had just read, the leafeon cheated on him, how could she do such a thing? Umbreon looked back and realized the drops weren't water, they were tears! Flareon walked out of the shower with a towel around his waist, "what's that?" he asked "first of all where's samantha?" umbreon asked, "she's in the bath, she ran it all by herself, anyway, what are you reading?" he asked "well, i found it in red yoshi's room. Flareon..i think red yoshi was going through depression" she said "what? Thats nonsense, how?" he asked, umbreon showed him the picture of the leafeon "ok and?" he asked "flareon, that was red yoshi's lover" she said "really? What, did she die early?" he asked "worse, she cheated on him" she said with a shaky voice "are you serious, why would she do that?" he asked "well, it gets even worse, they were married and had adopted an eevee two years prior" she said "umbreon, do you think, he let people live with him because he wanted a family of his own?" he asked, "flareon, i think, he took us in because he did want a family" she said "wait does that make us related?" he asked "no, he raised me, he let you live with us" she said "huh, well sarah knows about red yoshi being gone, red yoshi told me one last thing before i pulled the plug" "what?" umbreon asked "he said don't be sad that he's gone and live our lives to the fullest" he said as he hugged umbreon, who only hugged back, caressing his fluffy back.
Umbreon sat there with her arms around flareon, before she pulled away and asked "when will we be cleaning red yoshi's room up?" "well, i'd say maybe we could hire someone, but we need to get anything bad out" flareon said "well, besides the beer bottles and pill bottles i'd say there's nothing bad in there" she said. Just then, samantha opened the bathroom door "look mommy, i took a bath all by myself!" she said with a look of pure joy "that's great sweetie!" umbreon said as samantha hugged her, umbreon looked up at flareon, she looked him in the eyes with a different look, she looked lovestruck, "uhh umbreon?" he asked waving his paw in front of her face. Umbreon gently set samantha on the bed and walked up to flareon, grabbed his shoulders, and pulled him into a fierce make-out session. Samantha looked away and said "eeewwww", causing umbreon to quickly pull away, "umm, should we stop?" umbreon asked "y-yeah, i'm going to get dressed" flareon said as he grabbed his clothes and walked to the bathroom.
Umbreon looked at the diary that she took from red yoshi's room and opened it towards the end. Nothing, nothing on the end. She flipped back until she read the last entry: "dear diary, i may stop doing these entries, i am glad to say that the huge house i bought is now semi-full, but there's one family that makes me happy, it is the umbreon i took in as my own, and the flareon i saved from an abusive family, they have made me so happy, i have learned what it is like to be a father, or a friend to others, i have decided to leave my fortune to the flareon, he recently had a beautiful little eevee that reminds me of the eevee that me and leafeon adopted, i leave this diary, hopefully umbreon or flareon find it before anyone else does, this is red yoshi...signing out". Umbreon looked in shock at the signature, it was red yoshi's signature, he signed the book, he really did sign out, she flipped back even more, eventually closing the book and setting it inside her nightstand, she got in her bra and panties and got into bed, "mommy what's wrong?" samantha asked, "nothing honey, everything is alright", at those words, flareon came out of the bathroom in his boxers and got into bed with umbreon and samantha, samantha instantly cuddling into flareon's mane, "hey flareon?" umbreon said "yes honey?" he replied "i was wondering, how do you think you will run red yoshi's business?" umbreon asked "well, i don't know, but red yoshi trusts me and i won't let him down" flareon said.
Umbreon leaned over and gave flareon a kiss before falling asleep, flareon doing the same shortly after.
