Author's note: I decided to continue this story with a request from two reviewers that were made in the comments. I couldn't bear to walk away from it as it gave me so much motivation. Hopefully this is what they asked for. Before I start, I dedicate this story to someone very special to me. I hope she enjoys reading this.
I'm also going to start of from where I stopped.
I hope you enjoy reading this too.
N tried to cry but even with trembling hands, he held the young boy tight. His heart ached in regret.
Even if N couldn't be with Black, he wanted Black to always smile.
Maybe that's what N had always wanted…
Maybe to see Black's smile…
As they both held each other tight, N kissed Black's forehead gently.
"Forever and always."
Black overwhelmed with warmth had a feeling that he could faint right there in N's arms. He could feel his ears and cheeks warming up with embarrassment but also with love. Black buried his face deep into N's chest and inhales the scent.
Ah…
'It smelled so sweet.' He thought.
As they got down from the ferris wheel, N glanced over at the young boy who hasn't let go of his hand. N blushed but smiled. The feeling of love made the world less unknown.
No one has to care.
Though, N keeps thinking… even with this wonderful feeling, when will N finally bring out the truth? Will he ever say it to Black? When will he have the courage to say it?
"I'm sorry Black, but I'm leaving…"
Will it be that simple? But what would Black do?
N's mind started sinking. Questions now were making him feel like he's drowning in misery. 'No…' He shakes his head. 'I mustn't let that happen… Not to Black. Even if I leave him, I will make him forget about me.' N thought as he clenched the young boy's hand tightly. Black seemed surprised and looked up the older boy.
'I finally have him.' … They both thought.
Since both of them had nowhere else to stay for the night, Black and N walked east of Nimbasa and entered Route 5. They lay underneath a tree and started stargazing. They had long chats and when they both felt right, they'd return a kiss or gave a kiss… N and Black wanted this kind of atmosphere to stay with them always.
As they both started to feel tired, Black rested his head on N's shoulder and N laid his back on the tree but their hands still holding on to each other.
Morning soon arrived. The sun hits their faces, but neither Black nor N wanted to get up so early. They were too comfortable with the person they were with. Feeling the warmth of the other person's body closely touching theirs. But N soon started waking up. He yawned gently and looked beside to see Black still sleeping gently, his chest rising up and down. N smiled but began going through his pocket and held out a pokeball. This one had Reshiram in it.
'Reshiram… Sided with the older brother who sought truth. Truth being realistic.'
N looked over to Black and thought about Zekrom.
'Zekrom sided with the younger brother who sought ideals. Ideals being fairly optimistic if I think that's right…'
N was glad that he was one of the 'heroes' to search and find Reshiram… he was also glad to find that Black was one of the 'heroes' as well. Black was wonderful and amazing. N knew this by their battles.
Each time they met during their previous battles, N already realized how strong and a 'kind trainer' Black was. N smiled. Black's Pokémon's told him so. N agreed, he was no good at understanding Pokémon at all, but he can tell how great a trainer is just by judging how determined their Pokémon are in a battle.
N sighed softly. This isn't the time to be thinking such things.
Black started opening his eyes. When he woke up, he found out that N was gone. Black started panicking when N was missing. His heart was beating faster and he got on both of his feet.
'Didn't he promised not to leave?'
Black started to calm himself down. He shouldn't just jump to conclusions. He has to think realistically. N might be going somewhere for a while. That's all. N promised anyway. Even if he didn't promise, Black needs to understand that N can't stay with him.
He'd understand.
'I will understand.'
But suddenly, Black felt water falling out from his eyes. He tries to wipe them off, but before he knew it, he eventually let them flow down his face.
'He promised. He promised.' He kept telling himself. 'I shouldn't act selfish, but he promised. I'd understand… I'd understand.' His words mixed up and confused.
Black felt an impact on his knees as he collapsed to the ground. He started wailing and covered his hands. 'It hurts. Stop crying… crying… stop.'
Stop.
Stop.
"Come back." He sobbed.
Suddenly he felt two arms wrapped around his body. Black smelled something sweet.
"I'm sorry." The voice said. "Sorry… sorry." It began whispering beside Black's ear. Black realized who it was and began crying again.
"You promised."
Black felt N's lips touching on the back of his neck. It felt hot all of a sudden.
"Sorry."
Black's realization made him realize that the more he met N, the more he'd missed him…
It was awkward to start a conversation all of a sudden. Ever since what happened this morning, neither N nor Black knew what to say to the other. They couldn't come up with anything. N sometimes tries to strike up a longing conversation. That would only end in seconds though. Black is too socially awkward sometimes. He just can't think of anything when he's with N.
All he could ever ask for is for N to love him.
That's all.
Maybe he'd need the nice chats and the kisses, but really. N's love is already enough.
They walk back to Nimbasa and headed to a restaurant where they could eat. Black took out Snivy and feed him some Pokémon food. Snivy seemed a little too excited. N watched as Black 'spoon-feed' his Pokémon. N chuckled a little. 'Like a mother and her child.'
Black realized N watching and gave some Pokémon food to N's hand. It was a handful.
N looked confused.
"Feed your Pokémon with it." Black said.
N knew that already but he didn't know why Black gave him so much. N took out his pokeballs and picked one. He summons it out and it was Zoroark. N smiled and gestures the food to Zoroark. Zoroark, smelling the scent of food from his trainer's hand starts to eat it. Black watched and smiled.
N was so sweet even though Black used to think he was such a jerk.
'He is so sweet and precious.'
He thinks to himself.
'So very precious.'
After breakfast, they both decided to go to a park. Black walked beside N closely. Their shoulder's touching. Black wanted to feel N's warmth so much. But he has to resist. He was afraid that if he got too clingy, N would get angry with him.
N would get tired of him. He learned from his mistake after the crying thing...
They both sat down on a park bench and watched the pond. Black looked around his surroundings. Watching people and children as they play with their Pokémon's. Some with their friends…
Some with their lovers… holding hands and giving kisses.
'I want to do that too.' Black thought, but knew that it would be a 'revolting' sight to do something like that with N in public.
It's disgusting.
It's a sin.
Black clenched his hands. He knew that already but love is such a precious thing. Every one is fair to be in love. They are the ones who are free to choose whoever they wish to be with. Why is it unfair?
Why is the world unfair?
Black looked over to N whose eyes were staring blankly at the pond.
'It's too awkward.'
Black tried to start the conversation; "Where did you go to this morning?"
N looked over to him when he realized Black started talking. "I went to a nearby bathroom. I couldn't handle it." He replied.
Black wanted to giggle but he didn't. Instead he smiled. "I was worried… sorry if I was acting weird this morning."
"You shouldn't say that. It's my fault for leaving you. I- I should've told you."
"It's fine. Really. It was selfish of me to think that… you leaving me… but I'd…"
Black paused.
"I'd understand…" He said, his voice trailed off in silence. N looked over and sees that Black had his head down. His hat was covering his face so N didn't know what expression he was having. N knew that the conversation should be left quiet.
It was silent after that.
Sorry if I stopped it here. I promise that the next chapter might be the end of this story. Look forward to it!
