It Takes Two

Chapter 7: Bad Memories

By the time nightfall came we were on a hill. It had one tree on it and down the side of the hill was the city. We looked down at the city. It was the most beautiful sight I've ever seen. There was glowing lights of all colors and some were moving. I went by the tree where Latias and the baby were already asleep. I layed down beside Latias and lightly licked the side of her face. She woke up to see me laying next to her. She looked at me and I looked at her. Our eyes met and we both blushed and cuddled eachother. We both then fell asleep.

I was woken up the next morning by Latias grooming my fur. I looked at her and she smiled back. Before I could do anything she pulled me into a hug. I smiled and slipped away from her and went to a nearby berry bush. I wasn't sure what kind of berry it was. It was black and had what looked like a question mark on the sides of it. I ate a few and they tasted pretty good. I felt a sharp pain in my back and saw the kid had poked me. I gave him a berry and he ate it. I went back and nuzzled Latias.

"come on lets go!" I said.

"ok!" she said and she smiled.

We went walking and right when we entered town. Latias looked at me.

I looked back at her.

"whats wrong?" I asked.

"I was wondering how did you grow up?" she replied.

At that moment I was filled with sorrow. I had grown up alone. Everyone had always laughed and picked on me. I had no family, no friends, no one I could trust to help me out. I suddenly felt alone and helpless. I looked up at her and she could tell from my eyes.

"you grew up miserible didn't you?" she said.

"Well your life was all happy right!" I snapped back at her.

She cringed slightly. "no...I only had my brother to look up to... he helped me through good and bad times in my life... I had no friends...until I met you..." she said as she started to cry.

"well I had no one!" I snapped again.

"stop yelling at me..." she said sadly and I stopped and my ears went back as we slowly moved on.

I felt a pain like no other inside. I knew what it was... It was guilt...

Guilt for yelling at her, her life, and I knew how she felt. Since her brother was the only person she was close to at the time. She was heart broken. We found a nice alley to sleep in at nightfall. I layed on the other side of the space. Latias looked over at me as I looked at her then turned away. I felt something touch my back as I was about to go to sleep. I looked up to see Latias floating in front of me. She kissed my forehead and layed next to me. The baby joined us. We all fell asleep together.

That was close to ending their relationship. I can't wait to see what happens next... can you?
