New Bark Town, Professor Elm's Lab, 8PM
"Crys… Can you at least take a break and go out for dinner with me? You have been working since your last break at five… Please…"
"No Gold. I have this report due next week and if I do not finish it by today, I will not have enough time to finish the others." She pointed to the stack of papers beside her.
"But I'm hungry…" Gold whined.
"Then go home and make something to eat." She said with her eyes fixed on the paper in front of her.
"But you have to take a break sooner or later right? Even the old man took his break for Christmas!" Gold shouted.
"I know that, but I have to rush this and I promise I'll be back by nine alright?" She finally gave up as his whining was disrupting her from working. She had been typing the same sentence for the past five minutes since he stepped into the lab to take her out for dinner.
"Nine?!" Crys, that is too late! Today's Christmas Eve!"
"So what if it's Christmas Eve?" Crystal asked while not taking her eyes away from the computer.
"It's a day where people can get together with their loved ones and spend time together!" Gold countered.
"But I have work to do." She said calmly although she was about to explode at his stubborness.
Gold did not give up and walked towards her, behind her. He turned her around on her swivel chair and placed her on his shoulder with his arm around her waist before walking out of the lab with her flailing in his grip, kicking on his chest and pounding on his back.
"Gold! Put me down now!" The bluenette shouted as they reached her doorstep.
"Nope. I want you to relax and enjoy the last few hours before Christmas." He said with a silly grin on his face.
'He wants me to relax? How can I do that when I have so much work left to do?!' She thought when Gold carried her into her living room and forced her to sit down.
"I'm gonna make dinner now. So sit here and relax." As soon as she 'sat down', he release his Typhlosion, Explorato, and whispered something to it before making his way to her kitchen.
When Crystal heard clattering of the dishes and a few colourful words from the kitchen, she decided to sneak out to the lab and finish up the remaining paperwork she had to finish by today.
When she saw that Typhlosion was lying in front of the door and she had to pass by the kitchen in order to get out, she decided to go out by the windows. The windows on the first floor are located in the living room and kitchen which she could be caught easily. Whereas on the second floor, she can climb out of the window and use Tupeon, her Xatu to fly over to the lab unseen.
When she finished her planning, she decided to tell Gold that she's going to take a bath as an excuse to escape.
"Gold," She approached him as he was chopping onions.
"Hm?" He sounded like he is going to cry.
"I'm going to take a bath now. No peeking!" She said as she rushed upstairs to her room to grab Tupeon's PokeBall to fly out of the window.
9.30PM
"Hm? I wonder why Crys is taking so long in the shower?" He asked as he took the food out of the oven and put it on the table.
"Explorato, what do you think Crys is doing? Is she trying to please me tonight?" His perverted thoughts came to mind.
"Typhlo..." 'Not again...' Explorato shook his head.
"Fat chance, Gold." A feminine voice came through the door.
Gold, hearing voice, turned around. "C-crys? I thought that you were in the shower? How did you end up out here?"
"I snuck out pervert." She said bluntly.
"You snuck out and went back to work?!" Gold exploded.
"Yeah. I had nothing to do while you were cooking so I thought I could finish up more while you are cooking so I went back to do as much as I could before taking my break." She replied with a 'yeah, so what if I did' look.
"Crys, today's Christmas Eve." He repeated for the upteenth time. "You're suppose to take a break, not work!" He said as he held her shoulders.
"I know that. But I have a whole stack I need to complete and they are all due either next week or in a few days!"
"But you are a human, not a robot. You need to rest and give yourself a little break. You are a little too hard working and serious sometimes ya know?"
No response.
"Crys..." He shook her to get some response.
Still no response.
Suddenly, her body went limp and she fell on an unprepared Gold causing them both to fall on the floor with Crystal on top of Gold. Gold started to shake Crystal, when he felt that something is very wrong with her.
He lifted his hand to touch her forehead and realised that her forehead was buring hot.
"Crys! You're buring up!" He shouted as he sat up and held her in his lap before standing up and carrying her to her room.
Gold went down to the kitchen to get some washcloths and some cold water. He also brought some food with him to her room as he was starving and he could look after her while eating.
"Nggh..." Gold was sleeping on her bed with his head on his arms when he felt that the bed is moving and when he lifted his head, he saw that she is frowning and turning slightly in her sleep, like she's having a nightmare.
Gold quickly went to calm her down and kissed her forehead before going back to sleep. He repeated this procedure for a few times till morning. He changed the washclothes, calmed her from her nightmare and basically looking after her for the whole night.
New Bark Town, Crystal's house, 8.30AM
The sun shone into the room from the window and the snow is starting to fall again. It is a wonderful morning but Crystal woke up and felt a throbbing headache.
"Glad to see that you're awake. How are you feeling?" Gold asked as he walked into the room with a tray filled with scrambled eggs, a few streaks of bacon, two pieces of toast and and a mug of hot mocha.
"Not good... I think I have a headache." She said as she massaged her forehead and continued. "What happened yesterday?"
"You fainted a short while after you came home yesterday. You looked pale yesterday, but seems like the colors on your face are coming back now. You had a high fever yesterday and your whole body was burning hot. Looks like your fever went down." He placed the tray on her lap before saying, "Breakfast in bed!"
"So you took care of me yesterday night?" She asked after taking a sip of her mocha.
He nodded his head before yawning and sitting on her chair at her table.
"Thank you." She whispered as she placed her breakfast on her bedside table before going to him and giving him a peck on the cheek as a thank you.
"No problem." He yawned again and Crystal could see grey circles surrounding his eyes.
"Get some sleep."
"Hm?"
"I said, get some sleep. You look really tired and today's Christmas. How about some breakfast before that?" She asked as she went to bring the breakfast he made to share.
"Alright." She fed him some bacon.
11AM
The couple finished their breakfast and Crystal let him sleep in her room while she went on a little grocery shopping to stock up on what he used to make their meals.
1PM
Crystal came home with Meganium, Mega carrying the bags and bringing to the kitchen to keep. After keeping, she went upstairs to check on Gold to see that he is still sleeping like a Snorlax.
She went near the sleeping boy to give him a kiss on his forehead when he wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her into his embrace.
"Gold..." She moaned as he gave her kisses along her jaw and neck and back up to her lips.
"Good afternoon Super Serious Gal." He gave her a kiss which she returned without hesitation.
"Good afternoon to you too." She then have him another peck on the lips.
"What do you want to do now? I just came back from grocery shopping and I have nothing else to do now. So, what do you want to do?" She asked when he let her sit up with her on his lap.
"Maybe we'll watch some movies? I have some new movies which I just bought not long ago."
"Ok then. Although I was hoping that we could do something more interesting than watching movies..." He spoke in a seductive voice.
"GOLD!" She then whacked his head with her pillow.
"Ackk! Crys! That hurts ya know?!" He said while rubbbing his head.
"Not like I care... Pervert..." She then got up from his lap and walked out of the room to go make some popcorn for the movie.
7PM
'Growl...'
"What was that?" Crystal woke up at the loud growling that came from beside her.
"Me. I'm hungry..." Gold sat up and rubbed his eyes before leaning back on the couch they were practically using as a makeshift bed.
"Oh... Well, I am too." She flashed him a grin.
"Well, can you make dinner? I feel like eating your food."
"Don't you need to go home? Your mom should be worried by now since you weren't home yesterday."
"No worries, she's off to Goldenrod for shopping. She wouldn't be home by Friday."
"Ok then. What do you want to eat?"
"How bout some of your specialty? I would really like some of your omelette fried rice." Gold was about to drool at the thought of Crystal's special dish.
"Alright. I'll go make it maybe you can continue sleeping if you want."
9PM
A loud yawn could be heard from any corner of the house.
"Gold! Cover your mouth when you yawn! Do you want any flies to fly into your mouth?!"
"I will only want one fly to fly into my mouth..." He licked his lips.
"Pfft..." She then pushed him as he got even closer to her.
"Crys..."
"W-what?" She was stuttering as he was getting even closer by the second.
"G-gold what-" She was cut off by something on her mouth.
Gold is kissing her but this kiss is different from the others. This was a loving kiss. After comprehending what happened, she quickly returned the kiss and he deepened it.
After parting, both are panting and Crystal laid her head on Gold's shoulder while hugging him.
"Merry Christmas Gold." She whispered, only for him to hear.
"Merry Christmas to you too Super Serious Gal." He said with a huge smile on his face.
"Must you ruin the mood with that?" She ask sternly and removed her head from his shoulder before placing her hands on her hips.
"Geez, must you be so serious even now?"
"Never mind." She got up and went to bed.
"Crys! Can I sleep on your bed tonight? I'm cold!"
"No! Sleep on the couch!" She yelled through the door of her bedroom.
"Please? I have no blankets or pillows!"
She then threw a pillow and a blanket out of the door.
"Crys..." He banged the door.
"What do you want?!" She opened then door and shouted in his face.
"Can I sleep in your room?
"No!" She slammed the door but he stuck his feet in between the door to prevent her from closing it.
"Please... I promise that I won't do anything weird to you. If I do, I-I will... Not bug you for a whole month!" He said quickly and somehow regretted about what he said about not bugging her for a whole month.
"Fine... Just stay at your side of the bed and DON'T try anything funny." She said with an annoyed look.
She let him in and he pounced on her bed before wrapping his arms around her and bringing her into a hug.
"Thanks Crys."
"Gold... Remember what you said earlier about not bugging me for a whole month..."
"No." He tightened his hug as he drifted off to sleep.
"Gold..." She tried wriggling out of his grip but failed, she decided that maybe she should just let Gold have something he wanted. A reward for taking care of her for the whole night yesterday.
"Never mind then."
"Never mind what?"
"Nothing."
"Okay. Good night Crys." He gave a peck on the forehead before drifting to his wonderland.
"Good night Gold." She gave him a peck on the cheek before closing her eyes and difting off to a place free of any work.
That night, Crystal slept peacefully with Gold's steady heartbeat and through the harsh snowstorm that is coming from Kanto.
