Sorry for the wait. Enjoy!


Idiot


An autumn wind whipped around them, carrying the scent of crisp dried leaves and the promise of rain. It was amazing how quickly seasons change. How beautiful each one was in their own right. Bre grinned deviously. She'd have to have Dan back to the States for their midwest winter.

"Ah, the outdoors. Where one could enjoy a nice walk through the park, as we're doing now, or one could potentially die because the outside world is horrible."

She couldn't help but laugh. The young girl tightened her grip around his arm as they walked. "Well aren't you just a bundle of joy. It's a nice day."

Dan sniggered. "A nice day to die from a bee sting."

"You're not allergic to bees," she countered. "Besides, it's not as if you're dying of boredom. You've already caught two Beedrills and a Psyduck."

A smile broke out on his face as he caught yet another pokemon. "And a Staryu! Okay, now I like the outdoors."

Bre giggled, wondering how long it would last. She'd give it maybe ten minutes. Or until he couldn't find another decent pokemon. Whichever came first. They walked through the park a little more, passing trees that were so colored they looked as though they were on fire. The leaves were fiery oranges, burning reds, and bright yellows. Some leaves had already fallen and peppered the ground, the bright colors stark against the deep green grass. London was beautiful this time of year. Once they got to the lake, they sat down on the bench and watched the sunset.

"I think I like this the most," Dan quipped.

The sky was awash with color, even more color than the landscape around them. Blues, purples, pinks, and reds all fought for dominance in the sky as the sun gave way to the moon. A few stars shone on the opposite side of the sky.

Bre snuggled closer to him, and the young man put his arm around her shoulders. She sighed contentedly and practically melted into his arms. "You know... It's weird to think that if you weren't doing youtube... If you hadn't written a book and gone on tour... We never would have met."

"It's not all on me, you know. If you hadn't been brave enough to text me that day..."

"Or if you hadn't of put your phone number in my book..."

"That settles it, we're both idiots," Dan said softly.

The young girl laughed and reached up, planting a solid kiss on his cheek.

The blush tinting his face was easily seen. "What was that for?"

"For being an idiot."

He shifted a second before leaning down and placing a soft kiss against her full lips. "Then that's for being an idiot, too."
