A/N: This is not a songfic, just in case you thought it was. The fic was merely influenced by the song. Meaning I listened to it en loop whenever I sat down to write this. And I like it, it's good for sparking creativity in me when I draw or write. Haters gonna hate.

PlainHiveshipping – Bugsy/Whitney

"Bugsy, like, where are we going?" Whitney used her free hand to try to sneak a peek from under her blindfold, but Bugsy swatted it away before she got the chance. She yelped and stuck out her lip in a pout, one which was very ineffective without her eyes to pair it with. "No fair! Why won't you even give me one little hint?"

"It'll ruin the surprise," Bugsy replied matter-of-factly. She huffed, but allowed him to continue dragging her along in her blindfold. She had no idea where they were going; Bugsy had dragged her out of her gym the moment it had closed, blindfolded her, spun her around too many times to count, and began dragging her off somewhere with her hand in his without explanation. At least it was only Bugsy, though. Any other guy and she would start to wonder some.

"Surprise?" Her ears pricked up. "What kind of surprise?"

"The surprise kind," he said, then chuckled just a little to himself. Bugsy often thought he was funny. "Don't worry, we're almost there."

Whitney felt the grass grow thicker under her feet, more wild. Were the in Ilex Forest? But it was too dark there! She shuffled closer to Bugsy. And there were bugs in there! Even though her hand was still in his, she came close enough to press herself against his side and entangle her arms around his. "Bugsyyyy, you know how I feel about bugs..!"

"It'll be fine," he laughed. "Nothing's going to get you while I'm here." She thought she heard the slightest trace of uncomfort in his voice, but the thought was pushed aside as she was positive she felt something flutter by over her shoulder. She squeaked and clutched tighter at his arm. He laughed and gave her blindfold a tug. "You can take it off, now."

She wasn't sure if she even wanted to anymore, but Whitney reached up and gave it a small tug at the knot in the back with one hand, reluctant to let go of Bugsy, her only savior if any bugs got too close to her. He managed to pull his arm out of her grasp and worked at the knot in the cloth over her eyes. She started to say something to him, but any words she had died in her throat as soon as the blindfold dropped from her eyes.

She was standing in a small patch of grass that had the only view of the sky in the entire Ilex Forest. The full moon was out, glowing brightly against the backdrop of stars, but that was hardly the most breathtaking thing in this scene.

Fluttering around above their heads and around the field were what seemed to be hundreds of Ledian, all of them cooing lightly as they buzzed around, scattering something that looked like silver pixie dust around below them. It bathed everything in a sparkling glitter that seemed to glow of its own accord, without the help of the moon looking down on everything. Below, a few scattered Ledyba gazed up at them from the ground and let out mournful notes, wishing they could be flying around up there, glowing like the rest of them. For the few of the Ledian turned away from her, Whitney could see the star patter on their backs fluctuating with the twinkling starlight.

Everywhere she looked, she saw something more beautiful than the last. Even if they were bugs, she'd never seen a more touching sight. When she looked back and Bugsy, he also had his eyes glued to the ritualistic scene before them, and was retying his ascot into place since he'd retired it from Blindfold.

"They do this on clear nights in this spot all the time," he said. "They're nocturnal by nature, and they get their energy from starlight, much like plants get theirs from the sun." He smiled gently. "This is my favorite place in the whole world, at this time of night." He glanced back over at Whitney and she noticed the slightest of darker tinges on his cheeks. "And I wanted to share it with you."

"Me?" Momentarily, she had forgotten about the Ledian and the stars and the glitter, and saw only Bugsy, bathed in moonlight. "Why me? You know I'm afraid of bugs!" Perfect timing deemed for a Ledian to pass by on her left, just over her shoulder. She squealed and plastered herself against Bugsy once more, burying her face into his shoulder. He laughed and tilted her face back up to look at him.

"To show you that they aren't as icky as you think they are," he said, and dropped one small kiss on the tip of her nose before going back to look at the sight before them. She flushed a deep red, but took a deep breath and laid her head on his shoulder, also looking out at all the pokemon flying around in the sparkling air. She'd worry about what his true intentions were later and just enjoy it while it lasted.

A/N: I've just always been fascinated with Ledian's pokedex entries is all. stfu.
