It was a quiet day in the Belladonna-Schnee household. Both were off work, and it was a tad rainy outside; perfect for relaxing at home indoors.

Sitting against the armrest of their couch, Weiss tapped endlessly at the screen of her 3DS to feed her newest addiction: Pokémon. She'd just recently started a game, borrowing Blake's copy of Omega Ruby.

Thing is.. She'd started at about 5 in the morning, and it was only 10 AM, but she hadn't put it down since. Weiss had woken up for unknown reasons, and rather than forcing herself to go back to sleep, she shook Blake awake to keep her company. As much as Blake had wanted to, she couldn't wake herself up to properly give Weiss attention, and so she groaned and lazily pointed to the bedside table, and thus her copy of the game.

Weiss was familiar with Pokémon, but she'd often use her 3DS to play Ace Attorney and Nintendogs, of all things. Today, she'd figure she might as well try it out.

Sure enough, she was already hooked. Blake had woken up a little earlier, and once she saw Weiss engrossed with the game, she decided to take a quick shower and cook up some breakfast. On her way to the kitchen, she leaned over the couch and peeked at Weiss' screen.

"So what's in your party?"

Weiss didn't cease her battling. "Mmm…" She opened up her party.

"Hmm.. Wait, how long have you been playing this?" Blake squinted to see if she was mistaken while looking at the advanced party.

"Just a few hours. Why, is this impressive somehow?"

Weiss had a full party of mostly evolved Pokémon. A Sceptile—Weiss mentioned to Blake a while ago that Treeko seemed like the most intelligent out of the three starters offered—a Glaceon, a Vaporeon—

"Why do you have so many eeveelutions?"

"They're cute, Blake, and they are competent. I haven't lost a battle yet with them. Honestly I should just have a party with nothing but them."

She also had an Arcanine, a Dragonair, and..

"Is.. That a Purrloin? I guess it's cute, but why?"

Weiss shifted the 3DS away from Blake's view, a slight blush dusting her cheeks. "No real reason! I-I just felt like I needed to have it, that's all."

Blake hung her head, concealing a laugh. "Very nice. Do you like the game so far?"

Weiss turned her head to give Blake a quick kiss on the cheek before turning her attention back to the game. "I do. The type system and its intricacies are in depth and well thought-out. It's very impressive. Though these "gym leaders" leave much to be desired. Why are they so amateur? Aren't they supposed to be leading?"

Weiss' criticisms of the game were expected. Blake rested her chin on her palm, watching her girlfriend's brow furrow now and again. "Well, it's supposed to be fun. And I'm sure the leaders know what they're doing. After all, a lot of the adventurers are children in the long run."

"That's no excuse! Children should be taught the harsh ways of the world at a young age…"

"Really, Weiss?"

"I'm just saying! Not everyone is going to have a level 10 Pokémon for you to train on in the beginning, Blake. I'm just thinking of their preparation."

Blake let her arms hang loosely around Weiss' neck, running her fingertips along her arms. "Aw, you do care about children. How very sweet of you."

"Hmph. May I borrow this cartridge for a while longer?" Weiss finally let one side of the 3DS go to reciprocate Blake's gestures, delicately raking her nails along the other girl's bicep.

"Of course, though I don't think it'll take you too long to beat the game at this rate." Blake retreated off the back of the couch, the space above Weiss no more than a fleeting feeling. "Well, if you need me, I'll be making breakfast." She did return, however, to leave a lasting breath in Weiss' ear, "Don't get too addicted, Ace Trainer."

Missing the feeling of warmth already, Weiss hastily saved her game. She peered back over the couch with a flustered face and closed the device, leaving it there for later. She hopped up quickly and followed Blake into the kitchen.
