Finally having arrived at Pallet Town, Red's home town, Yellow let her Dodrio have a break, while Red carried her bag for her. They got to his house and he invited her inside. It was a simple dwelling, with only the basics. When one's lifestyle is mostly travelling, you don't need much stuff. Not to mention that without a paying job, one doesn't have much money to acquire many material possessions.
But to Red, it was his home, and having Yellow join him was something he always looked forward to, even when he though she was a boy. (A/N Please don't take that the wrong way. Red is only interested in girls. Well ... one girl. Well, Misty sort of liked him too. Well, let's move on with the story.)
"Thanks for helping me move in." she said gratefully.
"It wasn't hard." He tossed the bag in the air and caught it in one hand with a casual gesture to show how light her luggage was. "It's not like you have any other clothes," he said innocently, peering inside her bag to double check. "You always seem to wear the same thing."
"Don't you like what I wear?" she said offendedly, ignoring the fact that she probably had tampons and other personal stuff in her bag.
"Oh no, it's fine," he said reassuringly, waving his hand.
"Well maybe I'll take it off then," she said feigning angerly and began to unfasten her clothing, even though it would be extremely out of character for Yellow to do that.
"Wait ... uh ... what are you doing?" he said surprisedly, wondering whether he should look away or not. In the end he decided to cover his eyes with his hands but to open his fingers a crack so he could peek with one eye, even though it would be extremely out of character for Red to do that.
"If you don't like what I wear, maybe you'll like me better like this," she said teasingly, even though Yellow was a meek, polite girl who wouldn't tease anyone.
"Waah! I didn't say I didn't like anything," he said worriedly.
"Oh good. Well, I hope you'll like me even better without clothes on then," she said confidently. "Hey, why aren't you undressing?" she said invitingly.
"Why should I undress?" he said half out of his witsly.
"Because we're living together now," she said matter-of-factly. "Haven't you realized?"
"Realized what?" he said questioningly.
She paused undressing for a moment to use her hands to gesture.
"This whole plot is a set-up for the next chapter, and the readers have waited three chapters for a hot scene," she said explainingly. "Do you want to disappoint them?"
A light switched on inside Red's head. He suddenly realized that as a character in a story, the whole point of his being involved in it was to entertain the readers. Or to titillate them, whatever that means.
However, it dawned on him that if he were to get involved in a story like that, it would be like ... like ... exposing himself in front of an unknown number of strangers. Who knows what sort of details the author would describe about him. He wasn't sure he wanted to do that.
But then, for some reason he couldn't figure out, he finally said resignedly, "Oh, OK. I guess it sounds fair enough. I better go along with the plot." If I can call it a plot, he thought.
He started undressing too, remembering to rip his tee-shirt when he got to that part like he did the time he met deoxys. "Not like I have any choice about going along with it," he said mutterlingly. "I guess I better make the best of it."
