Undella Town, Day 5 of 60, 2:00 P.M.
Skyla
Skyla walked beside Lotte, annoyed with herself. She had asked to join him without even thinking, and now here she was, awkwardly walking with him. In an attempt to make it less awkward, she began speaking, "So what do you plan to do now? Are you just going to sit around and see if Frosty comes back?"
Lotte looked at her quizzically, "Frosty?"
"That's what I'm calling that Ice-Dragon. It makes it a little less frightening."
"Like how you used to call Zekrom 'Sparky'?"
Skyla laughed, "Exactly like that! Is Zekrom still mad about that?"
Lotte shook his head, "He's gotten over it."
"Good, I don't want an all-powerful dragon to be mad at me."
Lotte chuckled. After a moment of silence, he said, "Would you like to see him?"
Skyla smiled, "Sure." She said.
They passed by the Pokémon Center and started climbing up the slopes of the cliff. When they got to the top, she could see Zekrom lying down. His eyes followed them as they approached. As they did, she noticed Lotte's expression change from neutral, to flustered, to embarrassed before he playfully kicked Zekrom. Skyla could tell that they were having one of their thought-conversations, and she wondered what they could have been talking about.
Zekrom turned to look at her, and she heard a deep voice inside her head, "Greetings, Skyla."
"Hey there, Sparky." She responded.
Zekrom half-closed his eyes, "You said you were done with that."
"It's a friendly nickname. Loosen up, man…er…dragon."
Zekrom started making a noise that sounded like coughing, but was actually laughter. Turning to Lotte, they started to talk again. Judging from Lotte's serious expression, they were talking about Frosty. She sighed and looked up at the sun, shielding her eyes with her arm. The sunlight was quite strong up on the cliff, and seemed like a nice place to sunbathe.
She laid down her towel and began taking off her t-shirt and shorts. She lay on her back and gave a sigh of content pleasure. She could see why Zekrom liked the cliff so much.
She had been lying there for a minute when she heard Lotte clear his throat. She looked back on him and could see his face was red. "Maybe you could tell me before you start taking off clothes." He said.
Skyla giggled, "But then where would the fun in that be?"
Lotte's blush was visible even from the distance they were at. He walked to the edge of the cliff and sat down. He pulled out a sketchpad and pencils and began to think. Skyla found herself watching him intently, he began drawing something, but she couldn't see it from the angle she was at. After watching his pencil move across the paper for a few minutes, she asked, "What'cha drawing?"
Lotte jumped and looked over at her, his eyes wide. He let out a deep breath and said, "Just…a person."
Lotte's reaction made her curious. "What kind of person?"
Lotte looked at the paper and then back to her. "A kind, fun, beautiful person."
"A girl?"
Lotte nodded.
"Is she a real girl?"
Lotte hesitated, and then nodded.
"Do I know her?"
"Why are you so curious?"
Skyla shrugged, "Just trying to have a conversation. Why?" Skyla squinted playfully at Lotte. "Are you drawing something embarrassing?"
"Uh, I…um."
Skyla got up and, before Lotte could do anything, got a look at the sketchpad. When she saw the drawing, she gasped. The image showed her standing atop a pillar, smiling at the viewer, with the wings of a Swanna spread out behind her. Her face turned red, and she looked over at Lotte, who had stood up and was looking away. "T-this is…"
"I'm sorry Skyla…I just…"
There was a moment of silence between the two. Skyla wasn't quite sure what to say about everything, and Lotte seemed just as subdued. Skyla watched him shift his weight between his feet, and she noticed a bead of sweat run down his forehead. Without thinking, she walked up to him and wiped it away, bringing her hand to his cheek afterward.
He looked at her, his eyes wide. "S-skyla…I…"
She smiled at him, and rubbed his cheek with her hand. "It's a beautiful drawing, Lotte. What's to be embarrassed about?"
"I…well…it…"
Skyla thought that it was cute how he would begin to trip over his words in a moment like this. For some reason, she was bolder than she normally would be. She watched him try to explain everything and a warm feeling stirred up within her. As the feeling grew stronger, she realized what it was. By Groudon, Caitlin was right. Skyla had never realized it before, but now she knew.
She was indeed in love with Lotte.
Her next move was bolder than she would ever do under normal circumstances, but these weren't exactly normal circumstances. She put a finger to Lotte's lips, quieting him. She leaned in close and asked, "Do you love that girl?"
Lotte swallowed hard, and then slowly nodded.
Skyla leaned in and brushed her lips against his. Lotte tensed, surprised by the sudden contact. She then pressed her lips completely against his, kissing him fully. Lotte was tense for a few seconds, but soon Skyla felt him relax. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. They kept the kiss going for a few more seconds, then pulled away for air.
Lotte looked at her, then, breathlessly, said, "S-skyla…"
Skyla smiled and said, "I think that girl loves you, too."
Lotte's eyes widened and Skyla found their lips locked again. She moaned against his lips. She couldn't believe that this was happening. She was suddenly kissing the champion of the Unova League, when just five minutes before, she was just talking to a friend. A friend that she had just figured out she was in love with, but a friend nonetheless.
Suddenly, she found herself lying on the ground, with Lotte on top of her. She pulled away from his lips, her face red. "Aren't we going a little fast?"
A look of realization came across Lotte's face and he quickly got off of her. "Sorry," he said, "it's just…the way you're dressed."
Skyla realized she was in her bikini and blushed. "Sorry, Lotte."
Lotte smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "It's okay. I'm glad you said something."
Skyla giggled at the sudden displays of affection. When she had first met him in Mistralton, she never imagined that they would be sitting together like this. She looked over at him and smiled. "I love you." She said, the phrase seemed to take a weight off her shoulders.
Lotte held her close. "I love you, too." Skyla felt a warm feeling in her stomach when she heard Lotte tell her.
The couple sat on the cliff until sunset, holding each other in their arms.
Author's Note: So it's happened. Lotte and Skyla finally got together. Do you know what that means?
Random Reader: What DOES that mean?
Me: It means a lemon will be happening soon! So I've figured out how this is going to work. Reviews will make me post new chapters. No reveiws = no chapters. It will take a different number of Reveiws to make me post a chapter, so keep reveiwing. It doesn't matter if it just says "MOAR CHAPTURS PLZ" or is a actual review, as long as I know people are reading, I'll keep posting.
Thanks to anybody who reads this, Special Thanks to those who reveiw. You guys are great!
