Summary: Special-verse Future! Fic, Red trusts a repentant Lance
Red doesn't know why, but he trusts Lance, and he's willing to give him a second chance, even though the other trainers – Yellow is especially vehement – are against it. Of course, Lance did try to kill Yellow, but he was quite misguided then and now, things are better, right?
Red isn't blind, and he isn't stupid, and he sees something different in Lance's eyes, a love that frightens him, but he hugs him and tells Yellow to leave them alone and since he's Champion, he gets to decide.
This is the first time he has had to pull rank on her, and she resents it. He's quite pissed too, but only because she pushed him to this. He's sure the Elite Four can change – Lorelei did, to protect her home on Four Island from Deoxys, so…
It's really not a risk he's taking!
Of course, when he finds Lance in bed, and the older teen is petting him, it's a bit nerve-wracking, but it doesn't hurt, and afterwards, he strokes the Dragon Master's hair and promises that they won't take his dragons away.
Lance smiles at him, and his golden eyes are awfully pretty, and Red feels trusted, which tints his cheeks pink and causes warmth to rise in his body.
And no one has to know, and no one really cares, because Lance does seem to be over his hypocritical 'Destroy the world for the pokémon' kick, so no repercussions ensue.
Red likes that very much, and he'll hold Lance at night, and smile.

Phantomness: *Smirks* Well yes, that too…
