I keep forgetting how warm Sylvie is, and how soft his fur is. When I cuddle up next to him I never want to move again. He's warmer than a fire-type, and twice as nice to be held by. Even in his sleep he holds me. I can stay like this forever, in his arms. Eventually he'll wake up and I'll have to move away from his embrace.

I can't remember how I met Sylveon. I

was too young to remember. Maybe I should ask him. He's up now so why not? "Hey Sylvie? When did we first meet?" Sylvie had to stop and think. "Although it was many years ago, when I was only one, I remember it well. First time I saw you, you were just hatched. Your egg broke open and out popped the fluffiest thing I ever saw. You were so cute! Don't think I can ever forget that." He actually saw my hatching? Wow I knew we were together a long time but that's insane.

A realization hit me. I don't remember my parents. "Were my parents there?" "Urp!" What was that sound? "I dreaded this day…" What the hell is going on? "Eevee, you were abandoned. I found you all alone. In fact, I'm the only one who took care of you." My parents abandoned me? I don't care about that now, I'm almost an adult now. "I'm glad you were there then, Sylvie. Without you I might not be here."

"How long did you take care of me?" I asked. "How old are you?" That's a funny question. "Sixteen, you know that." What's he doing? "About that long. I guess I'm still taking care of you." He replied. A new thought came to mind. "Sylveon do you remember your parents?" He frowned and shook his head. "I was also abandoned by my parents." "Eek! What if we're brothers?! T-that would be bad!" "I think we'd be able to tell, Eevee. Besides it wouldn't be that bad." "Well, I guess as long as you're okay with it… Besides we don't smell alike."

"Do you remember the name I gave you?" Sylvie asked. Of course I do. Who forgets their name? "You named me Cotton, after my fur." "Yep! Cuz you were just like a big old soft ball of cotton when you hatched! You're still so fluffy!" Is Sylvie attracted to cute things? Imma get him then…

I rolled onto my back and held my arms beckoningly over my chest. "Still think I'm cute Sylvie?" I put one ear down and let out a soft "Vee". "You're too cute, you know that? You've managed to get even fluffier." Fluffy eh? I can do that. I puffed my fur out. "You'll never find a cuter pokemon Sylvie." He blushed. "I think you might be the cutest thing in the whole universe." He walked up to me and began licking my stomach. It's working.

It's starting to feel nice. Really nice~ "Vee, Sylvie why you grooming me?" It was getting hard to hide this… "Showing you how nice I am." he continued to lick my lower stomach. It felt good having his smooth, warm tongue comb over me. I'm glad my plan was working. He started to go lower. "Vee! Sylvie, y-you're getting too low!" He grinned. "It's not low enough if you ask me." He went even lower. "Mmph! Vee~"

I was panting from the experience earlier. My plan to attract him with my cuteness worked. I got what I wanted out of it, and he seemed happy with his end result too. He fell asleep drooling and his face looked like he was in ecstasy. I was getting tired myself, but I would keep myself awake. It's still midday. "Oh Arceus, that was great." Sylvie said. Guess he was awake, or he woke up.

"You really know how to seduce me, huh Cotton?" That sounds weird. Hearing my name. It shouldn't sound weird, I mean it is my name. "Why did you decide to use my name?" "Well I didn't name you to not call you by your name. Only reason I haven't used it is because Eevee is a cuter name. But, it's time to grow up and use your name. Unless you'll let me call you fluffy." Not a chance.

"What's your name Sylveon?" "Guess it's just Sylvie. No one named me." That's sad. Every pokemon needs a name. "I guess I'll just have to name you then." I said. "That's not necessary. I don't need a name." "Everyone needs a name. And I'll give you a good name." I needed something that told his best details. His soft fur, how nice he was and how amazing he could be. I think I got the perfect name already.

"How about Silk? Your fur is soft like silk and we'd have matching names too. Cotton and Silk." He smiled. "My fur is my pride… it's perfect. Hello Cotton, my name is Silk!" He chirped. "Nice to meet you Silk!" I chirped back. Finally we could call each other by our names!

"Why wouldn't you use my name before now Silk?" He shrugged. "I just thought you liked Eevee better… Plus Eevee is cuter." He licked my head. "Well I like Cotton just as well. Do you like your name?" He gave a big grin. "Course' I do! Just on and it's perfect! You gave me the perfect name." I blushed. It was nothing, you named me so I just returned the favor.

I wonder if Silk remembers "that" day… only one way to find out. "Do you remember that day I…" I choked. It was hard remembering the bad. "Hmm? You alright? Kinda just stopped there…" He was waiting. "...The day I got sick and lost… hope." He jumped and started biting his lip. He remembered alright. I had to know.

"You tried poisoning your self… I thought you were just sick. You went on about how life was… cruel." Silk knew. Damn… he must think I'm so selfish. I was stupid and tried ending my life because of a bout of depression. Wasn't that long ago, but I thought maybe… he would forget? It sounds stupid but it's true. I didn't want him to remember.

Silk burst into tears. "I thought I would lose you! Why did you try something so… selfish?" I should of known he'd start crying. I would too if he did what I did. I'm not proud of my mistakes but they are there. This one is my worst. "Cotton! Why would you kill yourself?! Why? Do you know how hard that would be?" I couldn't help but cry too.

"I never wanted to hurt you that way. I tried making it look like I was sick so you'd think I died naturally. But it was stupid!" I was sobbing now. "I almost died for nothing! I could of lost everything! Silk I'm so sorry!" I still can't believe I tried that. He fed me by mouth and everything to keep me alive and gave me hope. I put on a phony cough too… What was I thinking?

We just held each other and continued to cry. I'm so sorry Silk. To try that on my mate. To take my own life. Foolish! "... Do you still love me?" I whimpered. Sylveon gave a smile. "I hate your guts for trying that, but I still love my mate." He kissed me gently on the lips. "I still love you Cotton."

We stopped crying. It had been a while since I cried that hard. The worst was over and the better was on the way. At least for a while things would be good. But things like to get in the way. They like to ruin our fun. Glad I didn't have to worry about anything. At least for now. I had Silk and he had me. That's what was important.

"Silk?" Cotton started. He looked sad. I hated to see those eyes. "Why is life so short?" He laid down, closed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh. "Cotton, you're sixteen. You're gonna live another forty years at least." I tried to soothe him. "But why only a hundred years? Why not two hundred or a thousand? A hundred years is a short life…" He laid still on the ground. Always the hard questions…

"Our bodies don't last that long, it's how we were born." I explained. "I don't want an explanation for why it's short, I want to know why. There's so much to see why only that short amount of time?" He was starting to cry. He stayed quiet, but tears ran down his face. "Cotton, we just don't. I guess that's all there is." I gave up trying to explain it. "16 percent of my life is over… I have so little time to be with you." I know. It's hard living a short life.

"C'mon Cotton, you're sixteen. You got eighty-four years left. There's still time for us to do what we want. Even if our time is short, it'll just make our time more precious and more memorable. There's still plenty of time left." He couldn't stop crying. He was starting to whimper. "I know, it's just that sometimes it feels meaningless. My life, your life: everything." He was quietly sobbing. It was making me cry.

"I know. Life is short and difficult. But life is the best gift we have." I picked him up with my ribbons and put him close to me. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. He hugged back. We continued to quietly cry. Cotton was starting to stop crying, but he was out of breath from sobbing. "I feel better now… just had to let it out." Cotton said quietly. Cotton needs cheering up. I'll do something special for him.

It was time to cheer Cotton up. I'll play his favorite game. Time for him to start running! "Hey Cotton?" "Yeah?" *Nom* I bit his tail. "Let's play chase!" I waited for him to give the sign. He crouched low and raised his tail high. Time to start running! See if I can't out run him! "C'mon Cotton let's go!" I chirped. "I'm giving you a head start!"

I ran as fast as my feet would go. The trees became a blur. Everything was moving around me. It was as if the world bent to my will. I could make out everything in front of me, from the leaves to the rocks. It wouldn't be long until we made it out the forest. I could hear Cotton behind me. He was hot on my trail.

We were out in the field now. The sun was bright. It was blindingly bright. As I looked out into the blue sky I saw nothing but grass in front of me. The grass waved and swayed with the gentle winds. It was a beautiful day to play. Cotton was closing his distance now. He was merely his length away from me.

In a quick burst of speed Cotton leapt on to me and tackled me to the ground. It took less than second for him to close the distance between us. Cotton was really fast. I hit the grass hard, taking a big bite of grass as I did. The whole chase lasted ten minutes. I'm amazed I could run for that long, especially while outrunning Cotton. It was a good game.

"Looks like I finally caught you Silk!" He said boisterously. He didn't even sound tired. We ran for a mile and it didn't phase him. "How *pant* do you have *pant* so much energy?" I asked. "I dunno! But I feel like I'm about to level up!" Wouldn't that make him level 26? He might evolve soon. "Silk? What if I evolved?" Guess he's on top of it. "Guess you'll look different. I'll miss your fluffiness, but you will still be cute. Especially if you evolve into a Sylveon! We'll be twins!"

"I think I'd much rather be an Eevee. I love my fluffiness! Without my fur I'd just be cute because of my personality… or maybe something else. Too soon to call. " Cotton was born a rambling man… "So now you evolved let's see how good you are!" I invited. He gave a smirk. "Only if we can do it in the woods! I know the perfect spot!"

Cotton led me up the mountain side and deep into the woods. "Hey look! It's that rock you raped! Ever apologize to it?" I teased him. I was getting a nice view of Cottons nice butt until he stopped. *boink!* My face hit his bubble butt. Mmm~ It smells nice. Don't mind me Cotton, but I think I'll help myself~

I gave Cotton a big lick on the butt. "Ah! S-Silk! Wait! I'm not read-" Cotton was cut off by the feeling of euphoria I was no doubt causing him. This time a licked just a little lower. "Mmm~ Silk that feels so nice! I'm ready for you now…" Cotton raised ass high into the air and lowered his head. Cotton had one nice ass… and he was giving it to me.

"Silk! I'm-Ah! Eevee!" Cotton glowed brightly. Was he evolving? Damn I'm good! Was he going to be an Umbreon? Maybe Espeon? What if he turned into a Sylveon? The excitement is killing me! Finally Cotton stopped glowing. His fur became short and tan colored. His ears turned green and so did his tail. He evolved into Leafeon! "Oh my Arceus! Cotton you're a Leafeon!" I cheered.

"This feels funny… Silk why do I feel so… alive? I feel great! Life finally feels worth living now! Thank you Silk. Thanks for everything. You raised me, played with me, mated with me and even saved my life. Now you helped me evolve. Thank you." Cotton leaned forward and kissed me. His tongue felt sticky like sap, but tasted sweet like berries, maybe even a little like syrup. He felt so warm and full of life. He was perfect. Our lips parted. "Now that I evolved what we going to do? You know, to celebrate? More mating?" I gave a big grin. "Tickle Leafeon!" Cotton gave a big grin as I started to tickle him. Some things will never change. Our love is one of those things that will never change.
