Chapter 14: Luvdiscs in the air
Hey guys. I once again apologize if I'm putting this out too late, but school is tormenting me and I'm lucky to have the time to put this one out. Also, I want to warn you before you read this, there's a missing part that I couldn't write because I haven't played enough Diamond/Pearl/Platinum to know the Sinnoh couple very well. You can fill in the blanks yourselves. Enjoy!
P.S: I refer to the big round comfy couches as "potato couches"
"You know, I've been thinking." Lyra stated, sitting on one of the potato couches in the living room at around 12, when everyone had already eaten and were back to doing their stuff. Today they were all in the living room because they had been watching TV together.
"We don't talk much about our relationships."
"And there's a reason for that for some of us." Gold's eyes were pointing at the TV, but his regard was far away as he uttered those words.
"We can talk about that." May proposed before Lyra could speak.
"Alright." Dawn seemed excited about this. "We'll speak in the usual order as each couple will answer three questions:
How was your first kiss,
What was the best moment in your relationship,
And was there anyone else you wanted to be with before you got together?
Obviously, Kanto goes first."
Red sighed and rolled his eyes, but still talked.
"Our first kiss was admittedly too late. The third time I went to Mt. Silver to train, I was still a kid. Leaf kept telling me not to go because it was dangerous for me, but I never listened. I couldn't take it, of course, and I collapsed near the entrance after going to the top and trying to go back down. I probably would've died if it weren't for the fact that Leaf arrived just in time and carried me back home on her Venusaur. After being laid down on her bed and fed hot soup, I regained consciousness. When I did, there she was. Looking over me like my guardian angel, the light from the ceiling shining trough her hair.
'You need to stop doing that.'
I shivered. 'I know.'
Then she put her hands in mine and I couldn't stop myself. I was stopped shivering at the touch her warm lips and lost myself in her scent. It was then that we started being a couple. I remember I stayed there for a week or two before trying again." Red finished, but he wasn't looking at the group anymore. He was staring at Leaf with a dreamy look in his eyes.
"Woah." Nate whispered to Calem.
"Not even I saw this side of Red."
"Anyways," he blinked quickly when Leaf smiled. "The next question. The best moment in our relationship was probably the day of our marriage. Everyone we ever met on the way through the regions was there. We reflected on what we had done together since the beginning of our journey and what had changed. It was a very happy moment." He smiled at Leaf, who closed her eyes while remembering that fateful day.
"Also because there was a lot of wine and I can't remember anything bad, but whatever." He shrugged and continued.
"And finally, no. I didn't think about anyone at all until our first kiss. My Pokémon journey was in the way." Red shrugged again and looked at Leaf, who sighed.
"I always liked you and you kept thinking I was into Blue. I swear a Slowpoke could have gotten the hints I kept dropping you." Leaf asked Red.
Red smiled and scratched his head.
"Blue actually told me that he wasn't interested in you anyways. He says you were too nice." He chuckled.
"Too nice? What, does he only like bad girls?" Leaf laughed.
"Anyways, it's the Johto duo's turn."
Gold sighed and let Lyra explain.
"It was when we lost Kris. I found him on his knees, crying. I slowly walked over to him and gave him a tight hug of reassurance.
'She's-she's gone.' His voice trembled and tears poured from his eyes.
'I know.' I tried hard to keep myself cool for his sake. But Gold was just so handsome, so cool, and so confident all the time, but now he was broken. He needed someone. I cupped his face in my hands and forced him to make eye contact with me.
'Look at me. There's nothing we can do about her. She wouldn't like to see you like this.' He stopped and stared at me with his hard golden eyes, unsure. I took the opportunity and went for his lips. He didn't push back, but he didn't move away either. He just kind of accepted it and put his arms around me." Lyra looked at Gold with pink cheeks.
"I was just overwhelmed by emotions. I remember that day." He didn't look back at Lyra, but instead at the floor.
"I think our first kiss was the best moment in our relationship. Also, I did go after Silver, but he never stayed for more than a quick conversation or a battle."
"And I always secretly wanted to be with Krystal despite our constant bickering. But you know how that went. It's the Hoenn turn." Gold sighed.
"Well, our first kiss was after finishing the League." Ruby explained.
"We had one final battle in the same route that we had the first battle at the beginning of our journey and we sat by the small pond afterwards. Watching the night sky, we kinda lost track of time. We were laying next to each other as we watched the stars and comets. Once I stopped and realized that she was inches away from me and I panicked. I guess she sensed it because she frowned and asked me:
'What's wrong?'
'Its nothing, it's just...you're so...pretty.' I managed to blurt out. She immediately blushed and laughed, but didn't budge. At that point I stopped thinking and lost myself in her eyes, which reflected the night sky. I slowly approached my face to hers and we had a slow, gentle but passionate kiss." Ruby sighed dreamily.
"It was a pretty good kiss, considering how young we were." May smiled.
"And just like the Johto Legends, our best moment was our first kiss. We didn't have any cool rivals like you did, so there was no option really."
"Alright. Our first kiss." Dawn grinned.
"It was (I haven't played DPP yet so I can't write anything here. Just act like you read something hot)." Dawn bit her lips and smiled at Diamond, who didn't want to show his face.
"And our best relationship moment was when Diamond tried to impress me with the Legendaries he caught. He started with the minor ones and when I wasn't impressed, he showed off a bigger one, and a bigger one, until he angrily released Arceus and almost destroyed the town we were in." She laughed at Diamond's face, which was reminiscent of a Jigglypuff at the moment.
"And I did consider Barry once, but he just wasn't my type." Dawn shrugged and nodded the first Unova pair.
"Our first kiss was...um..." Black struggled to explain.
Hilda picked up where her left off, completely devoid of shame.
"We beat the whole double battle subway together and started hanging out, right? At the third date we went to a fancy place and got a bit drunk."
"A bit?" Black laughed. "You were struggling to describe the Pokémon types correctly!"
"Yeah well, after that we managed to get home and we had our first kiss while she was taking off her shirt, but I don't think you guys want to hear the details."
"NOPE." Nate shook his head violently.
"Anyways, the best moment in our relationship was...wait no I can't tell you that either." Black put a hand on his chin.
"And no, I didn't like Bianca and the only other women I found attractive were Skyla and Elesa. And they were Gym Leaders, so no."
"I didn't like anyone else either." Hilda shrugged and nodded at the second Unova pair.
"Our first kiss was in Kalos, actually." Rosa started, which caught the Kalos pair's attention. "We are a very slow couple. We took things really slow and went to Kalos on a vacation date. In a restaurant in Lumiose, after finishing our meal, Nate asked if he could finally take a step further and kiss me. He's a pretty shy guy once he's found someone for him." Rosa smiled at Nate who plunged his head in a pillow.
"Once I accepted, I found out that he was a surprisingly good kisser." She shrugged.
"Our best moment was our first kiss too, and I didn't like anyone else. Specially Hugh and his tree hair. If you think Nate's hair is bad, wait 'till you see that monstrosity. Anyways, your turn." She pointed at the Calem pair.
"Well," Calem began, "Our first kiss was at the Sundial, after the League. We went there in the first place because professor Sycamore had something to tell us, but we stayed to watch the sunset reflecting off the giant crystal. As the sun was disappearing, I took advantage of Serena's absentmindedness and put my hand on hers without her noticing.
'Hey Calem, Don't you think it's beautiful?'
'Very beautiful. I wish this could last forever.' I said that a bit too low and she noticed, realizing what I really meant.
'I wouldn't mind that.' She got closer.
'Then let's make it so.' I got to her first and our lips met perfectly. I remember we stayed that way until the sun finally disappeared off the horizon." Calem sighed and smiled at Serena, who did the same.
"I'd say our the best moment in our relationship was when we revisited our home town and we met with the group. They weren't surprised at all, rather they congratulated us as if they knew it was going to happen the whole time. I seriously considered being with Shauna while watching the fireworks at the castle, but nothing after that."
"Well, there was no one I wanted to be with, but I did have a sort of schoolgirl crush with Professor Sycamore." Serena smiled.
"What?" This was news to Calem.
"Well you can't deny he's handsome. You've seen first-hand the magnificence of his trademark Kalos beard."
Calem slowly nodded his head, agreeing.
"And that's finally done." Gold let out a sigh.
"Can we go back to watching TV?"
"Of course." Dawn rolled her eyes.
There you go. One more (late) chapter for you and in a few days is the female tournament. Also, this was kind of my first chapter that really focuses on romance and I'm not really good at that, so please review!
P.S: Also be patient for next chapter, as it will probably take a while.
