You know after looking back on my second prompt list, I really like how they turned out. There's just something about that list that bugs me. I think it's the constant alliteration; I don't like the letters the list chose and there were so many of them. There's just something…negative about the letters, if that makes any sense xD I'm very strange with my connotations of words and letters. Certain things just seem…off to me, hence the reason I was really reluctant to do the prompts last time around. Plus, writing angst tends to put me in a very angsty mood and I generally write these while I'm in school, though it's kind of funny to watch my classmates wonder why I'm in such a bad mood. I'm so weird when I write. I have so many odd habits; I'm apparently amusing to watch since I act things out pretty often. I like the variety in these though and hopefully I'll do as well with these as I did last time because you guys seemed to really like those. I've got a few odd ones this time around. A couple of vague ones where you might have to guess what's going on, some first person (which was actually pretty fun), and whatever else my twisted mind has thought of. Although I didn't want to start the last set, they were easy to think of. This time around it took forever to get them finished. ;_; I'm not entirely sure if I like these or not yet. Bleh.

I'm warning you now that #39 contains very non-descript sex. If that type of thing offends you, you can just skip over the prompt. It's more metaphorical than anything else, nothing of the physical nature described there, but like I said, if it offends you, you can just skip it. I don't think it's enough to bump up the rating to M because it's pretty vague, vague enough that I wouldn't think it was sex unless I was thinking of it. You can take it however you'd like to though. There are a lot of confusing and vague sentences this time around, just warning you.

Another warning some of these take place in the past, in the present, or the future. Time isn't very concrete to me. Brief timeline: when Falkner becomes a Gym Leader, he's about 13 and Morty's 16. Falkner is 16 and Morty is 19 when they begin dating. Everything else past that doesn't have much of a specific timeline of when it happens. Some things could take place just about anytime in their relationship, some things would only happen after a few years (i.e. #10 (Weddings) in the second set). Just a random bit of hopefully not too useless information xD I keep feeling like I'm forgetting something whenever I write these intros.

Disclaimer: My darlings, I own nothing. I wish I did, but alas, I own nothing.

Oh, and many thanks to my reviewers and the people who put me on their favorites list. You really make my day when I get an email saying that I got a review (from the most awesome reviewers ever who make me dance around the house and my mother shakes my head at me and calls me crazy) or I'm on a favorite list. I want to send a special shout out to Altair-chan, fivespice93, Neo Lady Sakura (who pointed out that I made a mistake with #13 (Bias) last time. It's supposed to be Rotom is the only Electric Falkner would tolerate, not Ghost), and Shizuku Tsukishima749! Thanks for the reviews, and for the favorite/alert from Altair-chan! This chapter (or set? Whatever you want to call it) is for you four!

#1 (Ring): "I know it's not formal and we can't get married for a long time, but I wanted to give you this anyway," Morty said with a soft smile gracing his features as he slid a ring onto Falkner's finger; the ring itself was somewhat simple – nothing too extravagant, no diamonds that would attract unwanted attention to the Flying specialist – with a small sapphire stone set in a silver band.

#2 (Hero): "Are you a superhero?" a young Falkner, eyes filled with admiration, asked a blond boy with a Gastly who had helped him find his way through Ecruteak City after he had gotten lost in the foreign town during a trip with the priests of Sprout Tower; Morty just laughed sheepishly, a hint of a blush on his cheeks at the little boy's hero worship of him, and told him that he was just a Pokémon trainer.

#3 (Memory): Falkner rarely talked about his experiences at the Sprout Tower – the memories weren't entirely pleasant and it was a subject that Morty could never get details about no matter how much he tried – so it came as a surprise when Falkner randomly came to him one day and told him the entire story of living in Sprout Tower, starting with his family ties to the Kikyou religion and ending with his sixteenth birthday when he finally broke free from the life of priesthood to become a gym leader.

#4 (Box): Falkner couldn't help the smile forming on his features when he found Morty moving a box of his things into the living quarters of Falkner's gym; they couldn't live together until at least one of them retired, but they could suffice with just moving in a few little things here and there – it was the thought that counted after all.

#5 (Run): Lugia, he just wanted to run away, run from the situation and retreat to the skies where he was safe – safe from what? His own thoughts? The truth? – but Morty's hand grasping his arm prevented his escape; wild and frightened eyes stared into cool violet eyes until the fight in him gave out, a cracked whisper leaving his lips, "I don't want to run anymore."

#6 (Hurricane): Falkner's anger was like a hurricane, harsh words coming down in torrents and fury that could only be matched by the force of a tempest, but Morty's anger was more like the calm before the storm; when Morty was angry, there was a sense of danger lurking beneath the seemingly calm surface that was honestly much more frightening than the furious gales of Falkner.

#7 (Wings): Falkner spent enough time in the sky that he might as well have had wings; when Morty looked at him, he wasn't surprised when he saw the outline of bird wings in the other's aura – in fact, he would have been more surprised if he hadn't seen them.

#8 (Cold): Much like the birds he trained, Falkner hated cold weather and rarely left the warmth of his gym – and would probably stay in his bed all day too – but Morty loved the cold, especially the snow; during the first snowfall of the year, Morty dragged Falkner into the cold, white, snowy wonderland in an attempt to make Falkner appreciate the cold weather.

#9 (Red): In Falkner's nightmares, Morty always had the red eyes of a Gengar, haunting him and piercing through his soul, a twisted fear that could only have come about through the use of Dream Eater; Morty often wondered the reason why Falkner twitched in his sleep whenever he was sleeping over at Ecruteak Gym, never suspecting his jealous ghosts to be the cause of Falkner's nighttime demons.

#10 (Drink): Falkner should have realized there was something off about his drink after Sidney gave it to him by the way it burned on the way down, but he decided to ignore his instincts for once and shortly wound up completely wasted; Morty was torn between being amused by his boyfriend's suddenly clingy behavior – which he was not opposed to in the least – or being annoyed with Sidney who spiking Falkner's drinks to see what kind of drunk the younger boy, who was technically not allowed to legally drink yet, would be.

#11 (Midnight): Morty was definitely more nocturnal than diurnal – his favorite time of day was midnight – which took some adjusting to since Falkner was always up at dawn while Morty was still sleeping; their habits didn't take much adjusting to though since midnight and dawn were both their respective times for quiet reflection and neither one minded that the other was sleeping.

#12 (Temptation): When Falkner turned sixteen, Morty swore something changed with him because he went from an awkward anti-social kid to an incredibly attractive and only slightly moody teenager; meetings for the Pokémon League suddenly became a lot more difficult to deal with because of the constant temptation to ignore whatever Lance was saying – because Morty really needed to listen to the same old speech at every meeting about "proper etiquette" – and steal Falkner away for something a bit more productive.

#13 (View): While Morty watched Falkner from the roof of his gym every day while the boy flew on his Pidgeot, Falkner wasn't always aimlessly flying and like Morty, he had his own spot to relax at Mount Mortar; Morty wasn't surprised when Falkner asked him to go flying with him – it was a pretty common occurrence with them – but he was surprised, and extremely touched, when Falkner took him to the highest point of Mount Mortar, a place he went when he wanted to be alone and had never shown to anyone else.

#14 (Music): Falkner wasn't used to modern music – listening to the older monks chant to Lugia did not count as music – and he had never even heard of karaoke, so he had no clue what to expect when Morty took him out to a karaoke bar; a few minutes in, he had learned that people went up to sing onstage – for what looked to be the point of embarrassing themselves…? – and that a certain pink-haired friend of theirs, who shall remain nameless, signed Falkner and Morty up to sing "I Can't Fight This Feeling."

#15 (Silk): "So…what type of material are the sheets made of on Morty's bed?" Tsubasa asked with a sly smile while Falkner was sweeping, causing the gym leader to shove the broom into Tsubasa's hands and command him to start sweeping; Tsubasa grinned wildly as Falkner – blushing in embarrassment – walked away, but not before mumbling lowly that they were silk.

#16 (Cover): "Have fun?" Falkner asked while trying to hold back a laugh as Morty walked in, his face covered in Whitney's lip gloss – although Falkner was pleased to note that her lip gloss wasn't on Morty's lips; Morty just scowled and attempted to wipe the lip gloss off his face, muttering that she needs to learn how to take a hint.

#17 (Promise): "I won't hurt you again, I promise," Morty murmured against Falkner's hair, his arms wrapped around the slighter boy tightly; so long as it was in his power, Morty swore that he wouldn't let anything, especially his own actions, hurt Falkner like that again because he knew what it was like to have his heart broken and he refused to put Falkner through that again.

#18 (Dream): Dreams were rarely pleasant for Falkner after he started dating Morty – the jealous ghosts often sending him nightmares in an effort to warn the Flying specialist away from the master – but he refused to leave; he gradually gained the respect of the Ghost Pokémon under Morty's control by staying silent about the cause of his nightmares and bearing the pain of the horrors they sent without uttering a word to Morty to put an end to their torments, though the blue haired boy shot knowing glances at the ghosts whenever he could to let them know that he was onto their schemes and he could take whatever they gave him.

#19 (Candle): "Because even if you can't see it, the candle's there burning in the window to show you that you're welcome here, to light the way for you; as long as that candle is in the window, you'll be welcome here," Falkner answered with a small smile after Morty asked him why there was always a candle burning in the window at night.

#20 (Talent): "You're a lot more talented than you think; give yourself some credit," Morty replied with certainty after Falkner mentioned that he was afraid that the only reason he was given the position of Gym Leader in Violet City was because his father was the previous leader and left the gym to his son after he left.

#21 (Silence): It was often in the silence that they said the most to each other: when Morty was angry, he grew silent and stewed in his anger until the storm had passed; Falkner always remained silent when he was saddened about something, never wanting to burden everyone around him with his problems; but their favorite silence was the late night quiet when nothing could be heard but their mutual breathing, the feeling of their linked hands reminding them that the other was still there.

#22 (Journey): "If it's too dangerous for me, then it's too dangerous for you; we'd be stronger together than if it was just one of us and I could easily fly out of a dangerous situation so why won't you let me go with you?" Falkner asked with a scowl as Morty told him that he was going on another journey and that Falkner was not allowed to follow him because it was "too dangerous."

#23 (Fire): Passion burned in his heart like a wildfire, unable to be quenched or controlled, only made worse by the feeling of the other's touch; every little touch – no matter how innocent or how suggestive – fed the flames until he had finally had enough and let the flames burning in his core consume him, giving into his desires and letting the fire burn.

#24 (Strength): "Strength isn't measured by how many battles you win; it's measured by your resilience, how well you recover from losses and your willingness to return to the battle," murmured Morty, fingers stroking Falkner's hair consolingly after a particularly hard loss; Falkner wasn't sure if it was Morty's powers or his presence in general, but either way he had the ability to make Falkner's mood improve.

#25 (Mask): "When I first saw you, I thought you covered your face with your hair to hide, but now I realize that your face is your mask, constantly hiding behind a façade; when are you finally going to take off the mask and show me who you really are?" Morty snapped one day during a fight, eyes narrowing at Falkner, causing the younger boy to flinch away, both from the harsh glare and the truth.

#26 (Ice): "Lugia, your hands are like ice," Falkner complained as Morty took his hands in his, though he made no move to remove his hands from the other's icy hands; Morty just smiled and pecked his cheek, telling him that's what Falkner's much warmer hands were there for.

#27 (Fall): While Falkner had no problems going out of his glider and flying, Morty was much more wary because unlike a Pokémon, a glider would not catch him if he fell; Falkner smiled softly when Morty told him that he was afraid to try flying on the glider and he replied that Morty had nothing to worry about, because he'd always be there to catch him.

#28 (Forgotten): Falkner was expecting his seventeenth birthday to be like all the rest – forgotten by everyone around him, except maybe a call from Bugsy and the ever-present yet never welcome gift of incense from the monks at Sprout Tower – but he was pleasantly surprised when his boyfriend took him out on a date long enough for a party to be set up for Falkner at his gym; when the couple returned, Falkner was barely able to respond coherently when he found out that his friends had been planning a surprise party for him.

#29 (Dance): "I don't dance," Falkner said resolutely as Morty asked him to dance, turning his head to hide the embarrassed look at not knowing how to dance; Morty ignored the other's words, taking Falkner's hands in his and leading him out onto the dance floor, and murmured in his ear "then let me teach you."

#30 (Body): Morty wasn't an expert on body language, but he was extremely adept at being able to decipher the reasons behind physical behaviors of the people close to him, Falkner in particular; he loved the little habits Falkner had, like constantly brushing at his hair shyly or the way he'd lace his fingers together whenever he was nervous.

#31 (Sacred): First loves weren't something you could let go of easily and Morty's heart always felt a wistful twinge whenever Eusine returned to Ecruteak City, even if the only reason the man was returning was because he had heard of a Suicune sighting there – not for Morty, never for Morty; slowly but surely over time and with a lot of help from Falkner, Morty's heart began to heal and when Eusine visited, Morty would soon be able to look at the other man without the painful ache of loss in his heart.

#32 (Farewells): This isn't a goodbye because I can't let him slip through my fingers like this, not when I have a chance to save him – Ho-Oh this is why I didn't want him coming with me – and I refuse to let him die; Ho-Oh, Lugia, Arceus, please if any Legendary is listening, I beg of you to save him, please!

#33 (World): For someone who spent his childhood in a tower being raised by monks, Falkner had seen more of the world than Morty had; the way Falkner knew Hoenn like the back of his hand and how Winona greeted him like a lost long friend when they visited Fortree City made Morty wonder what his boyfriend's life was like before he became a Gym Leader.

#34 (Formal): Morty only wore his traditional robes for certain festivals and holy days – unlike his boyfriend who wore his hakama and haori every day unless there was a rare reason for him to dress down – but that didn't mean Falkner didn't appreciate the rare occasion Morty did dress up; although he couldn't imagine Morty dressing up every day, Falkner loved the way his boyfriend looked in traditional clothing.

#35 (Fever): Although Falkner hated to be sick – mostly the part where he needed to be taken care of – he was the one who got sick quite frequently and seldom badly, but on the rare occasion Morty got sick, it was never just a simple cold; the first time Morty got sick around Falkner, his fever was high enough that the younger boy took a few days off from the gym, demanding that no battles be scheduled until Morty was well enough to be on his own.

#36 (Laugh): Morty loved Falkner's laugh – his real laugh, not when he gave a small chuckle to be polite or the forced fits of laughter from tickling – although it was a rare occasion that Falkner gave a genuine laugh; whenever Falkner did laugh though, Morty cherished the moments of lightheartedness between them.

#37 (Lies): "You lied to me Morty; how am I supposed to forgive, let alone forget, that?" Falkner shouted through tears, screaming at Morty through the door because he didn't trust himself enough to be in the same room as Morty without losing it, although that didn't stop Morty from trying to get in; the blond leader stood outside the door, shouting back at the other, "I'm not leaving until you give me a chance to explain; please Falkner, I'm sorry!"

#38 (Forever): "I'm not asking you for forever; I'm asking you for certainty because when I asked about our future, I wasn't expecting you to give me uncertainty back," Falkner said with a discontented sigh, "I just want you to have a little faith in us, to believe that we will make it and we won't end up broken and alone because if that's what you believe, then that's what you'll get."

#39(Overwhelmed): Sweet Lugia, he felt like he was drowning, tidal waves crashing as he rode out the intense waves to the end, hands gripping at shoulders, clinging to them like a rock to keep himself from losing himself; oh sweet Lugia, he felt like he couldn't even breathe, like the pressure was going to crush him, but heaven above, he'd never felt so good before in his life.

#40 (Whisper): The night Falkner was inducted into the Pokémon League, Morty snuck away to greet Falkner while a few of the older teenagers began making bets about how serious the young boy was and how much of a stick in the mud he would be; when Morty went over to talk to the blue haired boy, he was greeted with a whispered confession that he was scared to be there, scared to lose his place in the League because he was too weak, and it was at that moment that Morty decided that Falkner wasn't some stick in the mud who was trying to ignore them – no, he was just a scared kid who needed some reassurance before he took on the greatest challenge of his life.

#42 (Talk): "So apparently Falkner went down to Morty's room because he wanted to 'talk' to him," Whitney told Candice and Flannery with a devious grin on her lips, watching as the two guilty parties walked into the room for breakfast, a suspicious mark on Falkner's neck half-hidden by his hakama; "Somehow, I doubt that they were just talking," Flannery replied with an equally sly grin, the look growing more devious as Falkner turned away and blushed when he noticed their eyes on them.

#41 (Wait): "Wait," Morty murmured while grasping onto Falkner's wrist to keep him from escaping, "about last night…just please at least stay for breakfast so we can talk about it?" but the younger boy already putting on his hakama and getting ready to leave; he murmured excuses about getting back to his gym, incoherent reasons that made no sense, until the feeling of Morty's warm fingers around his wrist coaxed him into staying.

#43 (Search): Pale hands searched under the covers, seeking out the other's warmth and pulling him against his body, a soft sigh leaving his lips as he nuzzled closer to the warm body next to him; nimble fingers ran through his dark hair, both bodies ignoring the soft streams of light peering in through the blinds, content to bask in their own afterglow.

#44 (Hope): What exactly is hope, because if you look in a dictionary, it'll tell you that hope is 'a confident desire' but that's not what I think of when I imagine what hope is; I imagine dark hair that falls into the left side of a face, one dark and pensive cobalt eye obscured by sapphire strands of hair, and a soft smile that haunts me more than any ghost could even dream to.

#45 (Eclipse): The time Morty spent separated from Falkner was like an eclipse, the soft and quiet boy acting as the sun in his life, and without him there was no light, Morty's love for him casting a shadow over the rest of his life; he needed Falkner back because he couldn't live without his sun, the lack of light too heartbreaking to bear.

#46 (Gravity): Gravity, by definition, is the attraction due to gravitation that the Earth or another astronomical object exerts on an object on or near its surface, or in layman's terms, the force that keeps us weighted on the ground; however, for some reason whenever I'm around Morty, gravity ceases to exist and I feel like I'm walking on air, although I haven't been able to put my finger on what that feeling is.

#47 (Highway): "True, flying is the most efficient way to travel and the highway is the fastest land route, but taking the less traveled road will make all the difference in the end," Morty commented as he and Falkner were walking to Goldenrod City, having taken the side roads in an attempt to get Falkner to appreciate the experience of being on land.

#48 (Unknown): With the ability to understand both the living world and the spirit world – not to mention his psychic powers – there wasn't much that Morty considered to be unknown, except for Falkner; Falkner's aura was incredibly difficult to read compared to the others Morty had met and the younger boy was constantly finding ways to surprise him, something he wasn't used to as a clairvoyant.

#49 (Lock): Falkner tossed the key card at Morty haphazardly, shouting something about needing something back at the gym but he wasn't allowed to leave the area until his battle with Janine at the Gym Leaders Challenge was over; when Morty tried to give back the key card later, Falkner told him to keep it, saying that his gym would never be locked to Morty and that he spent enough time in his gym that he might as well have his own key.

#50 (Breathe): Morty was surprised when he found Falkner waiting outside his gym, having originally planned to go find Falkner himself to apologize, and he was even more surprised by Falkner's answer when he asked why he was there; Falkner sighed before answering, "because I realized that I couldn't breathe without you there; I need you more than I need the breath in my body, and sometimes that scares me."

Alrighty, so you know the deal. Drop a line to tell me what you think. Flames will be fed to my Munchlax; he's quite hungry all the time and will eat just about anything. Just let me know what you think. I love to read your reviews.

The definition in #44 comes from Encarta Dictionaries, first definition; don't own that either by the way. Nor do I own the songs or poetry used as inspiration for some of theses. Care to take a guess for which ones were musically inspired? It helps if you watch Glee, for the most part xD One is poetry based due to the fact that I was preparing for my AP exams while in the process of writing these. I'm surprised I didn't write anything in español. Also, #45 and #50 are companions, and I'd like to think that #37 is a prequel to those two. Most likely they're related to the Eusine/Morty/Falkner situation from the last set. It's sad that I write things and I don't even fully understand the plot yet. I'm possibly turning that into a story though since they're so many holes in the plot if you just get snippets from these sentences.

If you were confused, #44 (Hope) and #32 (Farewells) were both first person from Morty's point of view. #5 (Run) and #39 (Overwhelmed) was third person Falkner's point of view, #46 (Gravity) is first person from Falkner. You can usually tell who I'm talking about by which legendary is used. Lugia is Falkner and Ho-Oh is Morty. I've got a bit of a Greek mythology philosophy for the legendaries. I'll explain that another time because I've already written way too much on these side notes. I'll just shut up now.

…Bleh. It's ironic. I didn't like the prompts last time, but I liked how they turned out. I liked the prompts this time, but I don't like how these turned out. I'm such a nitpick. Maybe they'll grow on me.
