Chapter 9: Week 9
(Alright, let's get this chapter going because I am going to try and finish this story at some point because I need to finish a damn story.)
{Rui's Point of View}
-Tuesday-
[November 19th, 2005]
(Rui's Home)
Hm... what's messing with my sleep? When I opened my eyes, I found Silvia staring into mine and nearly freaked out.
"What the fuck are you doing in my bed!?" I yelled.
Silvia just laid on my bed, "I couldn't sleep..."
I laughed in disbelief, "Of course not! You're in my bed!"
Silvia pouted, "I just wanted to see you..."
I laid on my back, exhausted, "Ugh... what time is it?"
Silvia laid her head on my chest, "Three o'clock in the morning."
I draped an arm over my eyes, "Son of a giratina, what the fuck Silvia? You even turned my lights on."
Silvia shook her head, giggling, "Fine, I'll keep them off next time and when I knee you in the nuts, I don't want to hear it."
I gently pushed her off, "I'm turning off the lights and going back to bed queen gossip."
Silvia chuckled at my new nickname for her, "It's Gossip Gardevoir to you, boy."
I smirked at her, "Yeah, well back at you, it's boyfriend silly."
Silvia waited for me to turn the lights off before pulling me into a kiss on my bed. Monday went far better than I expected despite it being a day free of school. Silvia wrote me into her diary and strangely Shay hasn't tried to cause any problems. Silvia may not be as shy and cute as she was before... but I still love every second with her. In fact, her more adventurous personality is strangely a fresh breath of air. I can say I feel almost as happy as I was before Jay hit her... As I held her closer to me... smelled her scent... I can't forget he did such a thing.
(Gymnasium)
Silvia and I sat together during gym class after getting in trouble with three other students trying to hit on her. Them hitting on her isn't what really ticked me off, it's the fact they treated her like nothing and thought she was ugly before she became the biggest gossiper in the school. Now that she's a big deal around here, they just came out of the woodwork to try and woo her but they're just a bunch of scumbags. Silvia looked stunning too, making me occasionally stare at her, and strangely feeling butterfrees in my stomach. Occasionally she'd look into my eyes and give me such a... smoldering look that leaves me tongue tied. All this... and not one word passed between us as if we were talking through our thoughts and posture.
This silence between us broke when Silvia let out a burst of laughter, "You're so cute when your face is that red!"
Amidst my staring, I hadn't noticed the deep blush developing, "I... uh..."
Silvia wrapped an arm around me, "You're fumbling over your words my shy boyfriend."
Before I could respond, Shay walked over and sat next to Silvia, "Ugh... I hate gym class."
Silvia laughed, "You hate school in general Shay-la."
Shay snickered, "Well Silvy-wa, you don't know how well you have it, after all, you don't even feel the pull of gravity."
Silvia smirked evilly, "You're right." She pulled me close, "The only pull I feel is from my boyfriend."
My blush darkened as I did my best to hide my face. Shay and Silvia explode in a fit of laughter, "Be careful Silvy-wa or else he might die of embarrassment!"
Silvia grinned happily, nuzzling into my neck before biting it. I jumped up with a yip before settling down is an easy smile. Silvia's gentle neck bites always seem to calm me down to the point I could just lay back and relax.
Shay tapped my knee, "Hey, Rui."
I bent forward to get a good look at Shay, "Yeah?"
Shay leaned back, "We're cool, right?"
I thought about it for a moment, thinking about everything she's done to me and no, we're not cool, but I can't afford causing any more problems. I know playing along will lead to she and I getting along since I'm dating her best friend. In fact, after what I've learned from her father, I know Shay isn't a human, but her mother wants her to be human. Who knows, maybe that want to be human is what drives her to act the way she does.
I rubbed my neck, "Yeah, we're cool."
Shay looked unimpressed, "With that body language, I'm inclined to not believe you."
I smirked a bit, "And I'm inclined not to care."
Silvia laughed a bit, "Okay you two, enough fighting."
Shay raised a brow in amusement, "You call that fighting? That was nothing."
I agreed with Shay, "A fight usually has two people physically harming each other Silvia."
Silvia flicked my nose, "Not that kind of fight you dingus!"
I wrinkled my nose with a half frown, "Really? Was the nose flick necessary?"
Silvia pulled me into a hug again, "Come here you big baby." She kissed my cheek a couple times before moving to my lips and starting to make out with me before being elbow bumped by Shay.
Shay coughed rudely, "I am right here Silvy-wa."
Silvia pulled back with a smile, "Sorry Shay-la, I got too into it."
As the two began to talk about school gossip, I couldn't help but wonder what really happened between these two back when Silvia's accident occurred. When I started to get bored, I started resting my chin in hand and stared off into space before noticing a distant figure. It looked like Jason and he is leaving the gymnasium. With my curiosity piqued, I got up only to have my shorts pulled by Silvia.
She asked me, "Where do you think you're going?"
I replied swiftly, "I'm going to follow Jason because I'm curious as to where he's going."
Silvia frowned, "Is it too boring to hang out with me?"
My hand slid down to entangle my fingers with hers, even if they are different than mine, "No, but I want to know what he's up to and who knows, I might get you a scoop." I gave her a playful wink, "Wouldn't that be something?"
Silvia's frown turned upside-down instantly, "Then get going sexy butt."
Silvia gave my behind a firm smirk, causing me to jump in surprise. With a grumble I said, "Alright, I'll try to be quick."
Shay and Silvia giggled as I walked off to find Jason outside. Due to the coming winter, the outside is sporting a rather distasteful chill. The air wasn't cold enough to cause one to see their own breath, but it was enough to make me rub my arms as I looked around for Jason. I saw him slip inside the main building through a back entrance and ran over to get inside before the one handled door closed. Someone let him inside and that means this is a planned meeting.
As I crept closer to an old classroom, I heard two voices, "So, how is she doing?"
The first voice is Jason's, I was sure of it, "She's been great... and I got the payment. Hey... how can you do this?"
Jason laughed, "What? Have my girlfriend date other guys for money? Quite simple, I know she'll come back to me at the end of it and we'll have our apartment for a few more months."
I peeked around the corner to peer into the old classroom and saw Jason with Coral's new boyfriend, "What if she really likes me?"
Jason laughed at him, "Really? I'm sure you would like to think that'll happen, but it won't. Tomorrow, you'll get the break up text."
Coral's new boyfriend is a male spinda that could barely stand, "What does she even see in a human like you!? You sell her around like she's a slut!"
Jason's face revealed nothing as he calmly said, "I've been there for her from the start, that is something no one can trump when it comes to me and her. Plus, I'd die for her if that's what it took to protect her. I've already got the scars to prove that from her previous adventures. You? You would be too busy trying to stand up straight to protect her."
The spinda did his best to stand straight, "Don't make fun of my condition! It's not my fault I was born this way!"
Jason walked towards the exit, giving the spinda a rude gesture, "I'll make fun of it all I want dipshit, but please do enjoy your day. Hahaha."
Jason must have noticed my hair as I pulled back to try and walk away. I turned around to head towards the exit but felt his firm grip on my shoulder. I looked at him, expecting an attack but he just looked disappointed in me.
Jason scoffed, shaking his head, "Eavesdropping? Really? Are you going to be like your girlfriend and listen in on everyone else's business?"
I felt like a child being scolded, "I'm sorry... I just noticed you leaving the gym and got curious."
Jason rolled his eyes, tugging my shoulder, "Come on, follow me."
I raised a brow, "Where are we going?"
Jason let out an exasperated sigh, "We're going somewhere else because that classroom obviously isn't hidden enough thanks to someone following me."
There aren't many places like that on school grounds, to which we ended up going behind the building and just talking in a harsh whisper. This looks both stupid and suspicious all at the same time. I feel like hanging out in that old classroom would have been better even if that spinda was there.
Jason checked the surrounding area before saying, "What you've heard and seen stays between you and me, got it? If not, I will find and kick your teeth in."
I crossed my arms, "Alright tough guy."
Jason leaned against the wall, "Coral and me, we'll never leave each other after what we went through. Right now, we're living on our own after our parents tried to kill us, so we went on the run together."
I gave him a narrow-eyed stare, "You can't be serious."
Jason nodded his head, "I get it, my parents trying to kill me is a bogus excuse, something in a tear-filled backstory, but this is real and happened two years ago. Knowing them, they're still looking for us, but they'll never get Coral. I'll die before they get a chance to harm a hair on her head."
I scratched my chin, "So... why did they want to kill you?"
Jason looked at the sky, "Why? That's a bit more complicated. You see, fifty years ago a couple people in my family were sacrificed for their skins to be used for gardevoir gowns. My family argued and pleaded with the government to stop this from happening. My family got no response other than for the listed family members to die willingly. That didn't happen... instead they fought back against the gardevoir family that wanted our skins... Coral's family. The gardevoir got their skin while killing most of my family, leaving only my father alive. My mother's family faced a similar fate, maybe that's why they got together? Either way, eventually came the time they needed skin for Coral. I don't know what it was, maybe luck, but she and I met before any of that unpleasant business happened. I was listening to music when she and I met at a park. She looked interested in me and I thought she was beautiful. We talked for a couple hours before I gave her my headphones and CD player. After that, she and I saw each other every day, going on a date the third day we arranged a meeting. Six weeks later, I find a gardevoir at my door demanding me to go with for their skinning ritual. I went willingly because I didn't want my parents to die at the time. Coral was horrified to find me at her house and begged her parents not to use me. They had no idea their 'perfect' daughter is in love with a human and she saved my life. She used teleport to get us out of her house and we ran to my house only to find my parents getting weapons to kill her. I went in first and explained to them what happened, thinking they'd protect us but... they wanted to murder Coral so badly. They even begged me to bring her inside, so they could butcher her for their past sins. I refused, running out of the house and made sure to shield her body with my own as we ran for our lives. For three weeks, in the middle of winter, we drifted from town to town, stealing in order to survive. I've never been so scared, cold and hungry in all my life. Our chattering teeth, blue lips, and constant hugs to share our body heat between us. I thought we were going to die, but Coral refused to believe it because she said as long as we were together, neither of us can die. Once we got here, we were lucky to find a small apartment, a real shithole, and started living a life. I work at a convenience store near it to make the money necessary for us to be comfortable. The money Coral is making for us isn't for the house, it's for things she wants. So, do you get it now?"
I bit my lip, "Hm..."
Jason tightened his lips, "Well?"
I scratched the back of my neck, "Well... I'm not sure if you're honest, but I'll keep this a secret."
Jason looked content with that answer, for now anyways. We went our separate ways and when I returned to Silvia, I didn't tell her what I found because it wasn't important. Silvia didn't believe me but didn't press the issue. Instead she focused on getting me as jealous as possible by commenting on how attractive other guys in the gym are. Shay enjoyed going along with it just to get me to feel like crap until Silvia felt bad about it. The rest of the day went better since Silvia tried to cheer me up through various means. She can be so cute.
-Wednesday-
(Rui's Home)
[Early Morning]
I am having such a nice dream where I'm just walking through a forest with my three friends when all of a sudden, something began to block the sun. I looked up and saw Silvia's head except it was larger than the sun and began sucking everything into her mouth. It felt like a nightmare as I felt my body lift off the ground and fly into her mouth. I woke up with a jolt, almost headbutting her with a cold sweat before blinking a couple times. My mind hadn't registered that it was a dream and that I'm awake now. It did register Silvia laughing at me and I immediately flared up at her.
I yelled, "What the fuck was that!?"
She couldn't stop laughing, "I used dream eater on you! HAHAHA!"
I threw my pillow at her, "That's not funny! That was fucking terrifying! I thought I was going to die!"
The pillow hit her square on the face and she gripped it, "Oh, so you want to wrestle huh?"
I couldn't stop myself from smiling in excitement, "You're way too good at making me ha-PPYYY!"
Silvia tackled me and in a couple seconds we became a tangled mess of tickles, kisses, and various locks. We only stopped when Silvia finally pinned my arms beside my head using her psychic powers, which is cheating, but she says it's legal because there's nothing I can do to stop her. My only real complaint is the fact she's letting beads of her sweat drip onto me which is kind of gross... but at the same time I don't really mind it because it's her. Is love supposed to make us just accept everything about that person we're infatuated with? Sometimes I feel as though I can get drunk of the feelings and it makes everything seem perfect despite all the past grievances I had. In the depth of my soul... I miss the Silvia I went on my first date with... until I realize that Silvia is still inside this one. They're the same person but this Silvia just has all her old memories and that's why her personality is different.
Silvia rested her head on my chest, smiling up at me, "I love you."
I winked at her, "Oh really? I never noticed."
Silvia sat up, "We're going to be late to school today."
That caught me off-guard, "Why? Is there something wrong?"
Silvia gave me a devilish grin, "No, we're just going to spend some time together."
[Much Later]
(Cafe)
Silvia and I got detention, an exceedingly long detention. Not just because we were late, or the fact she announced how we lost track of time while having sex. We didn't even get it for me screaming at everyone to shut the fuck up after being so embarrassed by her statement. We got it... because she fucking missed the morning announcements. After serving our prison sentence, we went on a date at a local diner before relaxing at the cafe.
I was still sour about the detention, "I still can't believe that bullshit..."
Silvia shook her head with a smile, "Don't get so hung up on it."
I looked down at my legs, "It's just... ugh... it doesn't feel worth it."
Silvia rubbed my arm, "I forgot that you being human makes it uncomfortable for you."
I laid my head against hers, "It doesn't matter love... I'm happy as long as you are happy."
Silvia pinched my cheek, "I think you're lying with that corny saying."
I frowned, holding her hand, "Don't pinch my cheek."
Silvia grabbed my head and kissed me gently, "Let's go home. I hear our bed calling us."
I glared at her, "You're not going to use dream eater to wake me up again... are you?"
Silvia giggled, winking at me, "I promise I won't, I'll wake you up another way. You'll enjoy this way a lot more."
I blushed hard, "Uh... are you going to... um... you now, right?"
Silvia smiled brightly, "Of course, I'll gently shake you awake!"
I blinked for a moment as my blush went away, "Oh, that would be nice."
Silvia grinned, nudging me, "You thought something dirty, didn't you!"
I avoided eye contact, "No..."
Silvia moved her head to my ear, nipping it before whispering, "You wanted to wake up to my mouth around you, didn't you my shy little human boyfriend?"
I felt a shiver run up my spine so violently, I shuddered, "Maybe... S-Silvia, people are staring, can we just go home?"
Silvia rolled her eyes with a wide smile before pulling me out of the cafe. We began walking home, holding hands in the open, and periodically nudged closer or leaned against each other. Along the way I noticed a pokemon couple eyeing us, the male is a Sceptile with a female Charizard, and I'll be honest... that's really weird. She could kill him by accident, couldn't she? After all, she's a fire type pokemon and he's grass type. How is Silvia and me together weirder than that?
Silvia whispered to me, "Don't pay any mind to the stares?"
I looked at her beautiful crimson eyes as they sparkled in the setting sun's light, "I just don't understand why we're seen as weird anymore... I used to understand but after being with you and becoming this happy... I can't remember why I thought it was wrong."
Silvia squeezed my hand tightly, "I really can't explain it well, but it has something to do with pride and morals when it comes to us pokemon. Especially since humans are very judgmental and choose who they love based on appearance."
I looked at her with a wink, "Damn right, look at how beautiful you are."
Silvia snickered, suddenly tickling me, "You little flirt!"
This went on for a couple of seconds as the pokemon couple seemed to glare at us before the sceptile yelled, "Get a room gardevoir! No one wants to see your influenced fake mate!"
Silvia stopped immediately, turning to give that sceptile a death glare, "He's not influenced you stupid twig!"
I quickly pulled Silvia away before an argument could truly start. Silvia tried to push me out of the way but refused to use her powers on me. I guess deep down she wanted me to pull her away from this situation. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone said something to us. When we got home, Silvia's anger hadn't subsided, but I was able to calm her down and we went to sleep together.
-Friday-
(Richardson High School)
[Early Afternoon]
Silvia spent most of the day stuck on what that sceptile said yesterday and it only got worse when Shay revealed how she felt about us. I never thought Silvia would scream at Shay in such a way, to the point even Shay was shell-shocked. Silvia realized what she did and apologized to stay best friends. Right now, we were on the rooftop eating our lunch together.
Shay looked at the city through the fence, "The city looks so beautiful from up here..."
I couldn't help but agree with her, "Yeah... enjoy it while you can, our time here won't be forever."
Silvia rubbed my back, "You may be right, but the memory will last forever in our hearts."
I looked at Silvia, remembering her condition, "Yeah..."
Silvia narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms, "I can tell what you're thinking."
I looked down, "I'm sorry... I'm happy you have your diary to remember everything."
Silvia stopped crossing her arms and grabbed my shoulders to make me look at her, "I love you Rui, I'm not forgetting you ever again."
I closed my eyes, remembering when she promised me this before Jay attacked her. Shay won't attack Silvia anymore, so I know it has a low chance of happening but what if her condition worsens? I don't want her to forget me again and abandon me again. When I opened then, Silvia stared into my eyes with a deep longing in her sparkling crimson gaze as she leaned forward and made out with me. It got really intense as she started licking my tongue and rubbing my back in a firm embrace.
Shay coughed to interrupt our kiss, "Um... bystander over here?"
Silvia snickered to hide her sigh, "I don't know why you're complaining, it's a free show for you."
I gently pat Silvia's head, "Don't be a grumpy butt."
Silvia looked at me with a cute frown, puffing her cheek up as well, "I'm not grumpy."
I smiled at her gently, "You're so cute."
Silvia licked her lips, "Well you are quite delectable love."
Shay sat between us, "I'm sorry for bumping in, but Silvia can we go have some girl time after class today?"
Silvia nudged her head to look past her and see my smile before answering, "Sure, it has been a long while since it was just the two of us."
Shay turned her gaze to me, "You alright with that?"
I decided to crack a joke, "Do pidgey shit in the woods?"
Neither of them laughed, "That's pretty gross love."
Shay snickered, "Why do you like this dork again?"
Silvia suppressed a giggle, "With a joke like that I've forgotten."
[Late Night]
I woke up when I felt something crawl up my body and found Silvia on top of me. Weird, she told me she'd sleep at home instead of with me because she didn't want to wake me.
She gently placed her hands on my cheek, "Rui... I'm going to kill you."
I instantly snapped up, "WHAT!?"
She wrapped her arms around my head and kissed me hard, "Just kidding! You're so paranoid! Hahahaha!"
I looked away, grumbling, "Bitch..."
Silvia forced her face into my view, grinning evilly, "You love me, and you know it."
I couldn't stop myself from smiling at her, "Yeah... lay down dumbass so we can sleep."
She laid down, mocking me a bit, "Oh, I'm a dumbass, then I guess you're purely idiotic."
I held her hand as I began drifting back to sleep, "Whatever you say love, whatever you say."
(I bet someone thought Silvia was going to do something, don't even try to lie! Be honest, someone had to think Silvia was suddenly going to strangle Rui or wipe his memories. XD I hope this chapter was better than the last.)
