Touko could feel her feet starting to ach in pain. She couldn't ride her Reshiram to Nimbasa City because it would attract attention. Although she wanted to ignore that reason and fly Reshiram anyways, she also knew it would mean her day with N would be over like a fleeting flash. It wasn't that she didn't like to walk; it was just that the trip from the castle was long. It was actually the same distance away from the Black Kingdom's castle so at least she wouldn't suffer alone.
Touya could tell the princess was growing tired. He couldn't blame her since she never went on a journey before like he did. He was a pokemon trainer before he became one of the kingdom's knights. "Come on Touko you can do it, we're halfway there."
Touko groaned, halfway sure seemed farther than she thought. Touya sighed before getting down on one knee. Touko raised an eyebrow at his sudden actions. "What in Arceus's name are you doing?"
"I'm going to give you a piggy back ride." He said, his head looking up at her light pale face. Touko hesitated before getting behind him and placing herself onto his back. It took Touya a second to stand back up, but after that they continued their way to Nimbasa.
Although she really liked Touya giving her a piggy back ride, she couldn't help but feel guilty. She was doing a selfish act. Touya was the one being selfless and helping her aching feet have some time to rest. Heck he was caring all of her weight on his back which was probably going to leave a few sore spots the next morning. This guilt was something she couldn't deal with, she had to at least apologize. "Listen Touya,"
Touya turned his head to the side so he could have a view of the princess. He could see in her ocean blue eyes that she felt bad about something and he had a pretty good guess of what it was but he decided to let her say what she had to just in case he misread her eyes just like he did his heart. "I'm sorry, I'm acting selfish. I should just walk and not complain no matter how much my feet hurt."
Touya chuckled; the princess was a considerate person. He knew Unova was going to be in great hands when she becomes Queen. Maybe just maybe, N would be a great King as well. If not, citizens would have a revolution to overthrow them both.
"Touko you're fine. You haven't been able to see Unova as much as I have. Nor have you walked as much as I." Touko had almost forgotten that before he served in the kingdom he was a pokemon trainer like most of the citizens were. She had always wanted to become a trainer but her parents said that royalty have more important things to attend to then training pokemon and traveling the region. Her dreams were crushed, but her kind mother talked her father into letting her have pokemon. Her mother never stopped begging until one day he finally agreed. That was when her mother gave her three pokemon.
A Snivy and a Blitzle were the ones her mother went out to capture for her. But the last pokemon was something special, one that had been passed down from generations of the White family. The legendary dragon, Reshiram.
That one memory was something that she would remember forever, the day she made her very first friends. That memory always seemed to bring a smile onto her face just like the day N had kissed her on her bedroom balcony. A stolen first kiss that she willingly gave to him and it felt right.
These memories wasted her time long enough that Touya had carried her all the way there. Memories made the ride on Touya's back fun and quick. Touko suddenly felt her heart beat faster; she was now closer to seeing N. She couldn't help but be nervous. This was one of her very first dates. 'Maybe I should have listened to Lyra and made myself pretty.' She just wanted to bite the nails on her fingers to calm down the butterfrees that flew around her stomach.
Touya got down on his knees, letting Touko get up and stretch. She smiled, being outside in the fresh air like this was really nice and she wished she could do it more often. The sun on her skin simply felt amazing.
Her eyes now were looking at the entrance to Nimbasa City and took a deep breath. 'Here goes nothing.' Despite the butterfrees in her stomach that dared her not to move, she took one step but found something grab her arm. She turned her head to find Touya's hand on her arm and his brown hair covering his caramel eyes. "Touya, what's wrong?" Touya then turned her body to face his and then he moved his hands up to her shoulders.
"Touko…" Touya said in a mumble that she could barely hear. 'What is going on?' She was confused, never had she seen Touya act like this around her before. Then he looked up and started moving closer to her face. She could feel herself begin to panic, was Touya doing what she thought he was doing? Then that's when his lips collided with hers. Touko didn't know if to kiss him back or not. No, she just didn't want to kiss him back. She never felt this kind of way towards Touya before. He was more like a protective brother that she never had.
Touko had finally gained back her senses and was about to push him away from her but he pulled away. Touya looked into her eyes before sighing. "Did you feel any sparks?" Touko was a bit startled at his question. 'There was no sparks. The kiss I had with N had sparks.' When she didn't answer, Touya took her silence as a no. He then brushed past her like nothing ever happened.
She just watched him go towards the entrance like she tried to earlier. Then he turned around with a small smile on his face. "You coming or what, your highness?" Touko hesitated before smiling back at the strange knight and nodded.
N waited, tapping his foot to keep him occupied. The Zoroa on his shoulder watched his foot while sometimes letting his eyes roam to find kids running into the amusement park, their laughter filling the air. "She's late…" Zoroa heard N mumble.
Zoroa's ears perked up when he heard someone running, N noticed as well. They both turned to the owner of such sounds to see Touko and Touya running over to them, just seeing the princess's face made the prince smile uncontrollably at the sight.
Touko's feet stopped, now standing right before N. She was panting with both of her hands on her knees. It took her a second before she looked up at the handsome prince that stood tall with a small Zoroa on his shoulder. Unlike her, he was wearing his normal clothes.
N couldn't help but stare at her new clothes. He felt a blush start to creep onto his face. With all his might he held the blush back. 'She's really cute…'
Touko finally felt her breathing rate go back to normal so she stood straight so she could talk to N properly. Touya just watched the two in silent, thinking about what he did earlier.
"So N," Touko said breaking the dreadful silence and catching N's full attention. His emerald eyes now staring into her ocean blue ones instead of her new outfit.
"Yes Touko?" Touko could feel the butterfrees in her stomach become more active. Why did she have to be so nervous around a boy? She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. Her voice box was not cooperating with her, making her look like an idiot standing there in front of probably the hottest guy in Unova. Well it's just guess but out of all the guys she has seen, N was the hottest. This date was causing her more trouble than she thought. First she was kissed by Touya and now she's standing in front of N like an idiot trying to at least say something.
N raised his eyebrow at the girl. 'She's acting very odd.' The cute Zoroa on his shoulders was curious why the girl was acting so weird. "Touko, are you okay?" N suddenly asked the speechless Touko.
Touko felt her heart beat faster when he said her name. When her name rolls off his tongue, it sounds so right… It sounds so perfect. It was like a melody from a Chatot, whose chirps created a lovely tune that allowed the notes to dance in the air. "Y-Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." She cursed herself for stuttering.
N held back the urge to chuckle at her stutter that made her oh so cuter, if that was even possible. No matter what she did, it always seemed cute in his eyes.
"As I was saying earlier," Touko said, making a quick recovery to make up for her stuttering of words. "What do you have planned for us?" N smiled before reaching to grab her hand that was placed at her side.
At the feeling of his touch, heat began to rise in Touko's cheeks. Was it ever possible to not blush around N? It sure didn't seem like it for Touko.
"Follow me." That smile on his kissable lips made the darkness of doubt that shrouded her heart disappear, the doubt of her ever being pretty, able to rule Unova, or being granted more freedom. What was it about N that caused all of her wounds, visible or not, to heal like a scratched knee.
'Don't let go of my hand, N.' She loved the warmth that emanated from the touch of his soft hands intertwining with hers. She could be without a care in the world when around him and it felt amazing. It was almost as intoxicating as their lips colliding. His kisses were like poison, causing you to melt into his strong arms as if you were dying from the poison you consumed.
Touya slowly walked behind the couple, watching them get further and further away to the point he was left in the dust, alone. Alone was the one word you could use to describe him. The way Touko blushed and acted around N use to make him jealous, although it still does at times, but he couldn't help but feel happy for Touko. She wasn't alone like he was. She had someone who she liked and there was nothing he could do about it. The painful memory of him catching them in the act of their kiss began to fade, the hatred for the Black Kingdom's prince becoming forgotten. After everything has been through, there was still one thing on his list he had to do till he was certain his mission was complete if all else failed. 'I'm still going to protect the future Queen of Unova till my last breath.'
'A ferris wheel…' Touko thought as she looked up into the sky where the ferris wheel and light blue sky came together as acquaintances. The passenger seats were the shape and appearance of pokeballs. "Why a ferris wheel?" Touko asked the teenage boy standing right beside her, the Zoroa on his shoulder back in his pokeball so they could be able to ride. She watched the movements of his eyes as they watched the ferris wheel turn round and round until it came to a sudden stop.
"I'm always fascinated by the unique and complex mathematics that were put into this." Touko could feel the cravings of curiosity building in her stomach, the curiosity of learning more about him, to know everything about him.
They were next, N and Touko took a seat inside the pokeball like structure. They both sat beside each other but looked in opposite directions. Then the ride got moving and the higher they got into the air, the more of a view Touko could see. "I can't believe I'll be ruling this region one day." She said in a mumble that she thought only she could hear but, sadly for her, N could hear clearly well what she said. N turned to look at the brunette princess. She had no emotions on her face as if she was hiding them. His eyes then wandered to the hand that happened to be in the middle on the seat.
Touko jumped when she felt the same soft hands from earlier make contact with hers yet again. Her eyes locked onto the only culprit that had soft hands, N. "Is something wrong, N?" She asked in a caring voice. N shook his head before he found himself staring into her ocean blue orbs which showed his reflection so clearly. Unconsciously, his face began to make its way towards her. It took a moment for Touko to understand what was going on before she too found herself closing her eyes and closing the distance between their lips. The kiss that Touko had urged to taste had finally returned. The same magic from their first had become a bit stronger. Their kiss was like a firework, bright and lovely but always ends, which their kiss had to end so they could breathe.
When their lips separated, their foreheads were now touching each other as they stared at each other as if they were reading each other minds. They stayed like that till the ride had ended.
'They say true love never dies… Is what mine and N's that strong? Or does he even like me in that sort of way?'
