Aurore's Moemon Adventure
Chapter 27
"Wh-what…" Lulu said, her face growing a deep scarlet. "I… I gotta… go…" Lulu turned around and ran out of the hotel, blushing.
"Whoo~" Oshawott whistled. "Wow, didn't expect that."
"What's with her?" Aurore asked, surprised.
"What's with you?" Sakura asked, frowning.
"Huh?" Aurore asked, turning to her, confused. "What do you mean?"
"You can't just kiss a girl out of nowhere like that!" Sakura said, frowning. "That probably… no, definitely freaked the hell out of her!"
"Well… what should I do?" Aurore asked, frowning.
"Go find her and apologize!" Sakura said, pushing him out of the hotel, slamming the door shut.
"Wait, did I just get thrown out of my own hotel?" Aurore asked, shocked. "Well, it's not like this day could get any worse."
As soon as he said that, it got worse. Rain began pouring down from the sky, completely drenching him.
"Son of a bitch…" Aurore griped.
Lulu, in the meantime, was sitting in a bar. Well, to be specific, a bar/karaoke club. However, she was sitting at the bar, glowering down at the drink in front of her like it was her arch enemy. Her body seemed to be practically crackling with anger, and she seemed to have a ten foot bubble of empty space around her, the rest of the customers avoiding her like the plague.
"So, are you gonna drink that, or just glare at it?" The bartender asked, walking up to her. Interestingly, it was a young woman. She had pale, pale skin; almost white. She wore a black evening dress that clung to her curves quite nicely, and deep emerald eyes. Her hair was a bright green and cascaded down her back like a river.
"…" Lulu said, shifting her death gaze to the bartender. She downed her glass in a second, not taking her eyes off the woman.
"Is something wrong?" The bartender asked, frowning sympathetically. "If you have any problems, you could sing about it on stage. That makes everyone feel better."
Lulu turned her head and looked at the stage, where a man in a rumpled suit was singing awkwardly into the microphone. The stage was bright with spotlights, but the rest of the bar was darkened, except for the bar itself, illuminated by lights hanging from the ceiling.
"I'd rather not." Lulu said, frowning. "Now if you don't mind, I'd like another…?"
Lulu held her glass up to the bartender, shaking it expectantly.
"Alright, but you won't solve anything by just drinking yourself into a stupor." The bartender said, shaking her head. "Everyone feels better when they sing."
The bartender turned around again and placed the glass on the bar, in front of Lulu.
"Um, excuse me, I'll pay for the young ladies' drink." A voice said from behind Lulu.
"No, the young lady will pay for her own drink." Lulu said, not even turning around. "Beat it, jack."
"No, I insist." The man said.
Lulu, having raised up a fair amount of anger, turned around, prepared to deck the would-be suitor.
Lulu's eyes widened, an she stared at Aurore, his clothes soaked from rain and his hair matted down like a wet dogs', a sad smile on his face.
Lulu stared at Aurore for a few seconds, then turned around on her stool and stared down at her drink, trying to deny his presence.
"So, what's up?" Aurore asked, sitting down next to Lulu, smiling.
"GO AWAY." Lulu said, frowning.
"Come on, don't be like that." Aurore said, grabbing Lulu's drink off the bar, draining the glass before she could even react.
"Hey!" Lulu exclaimed, hitting his arm. "I was gonna drink that!"
"There we go." Aurore said, smiling. "I finally managed to get a reaction out of you."
"…" Lulu said, blushing. She returned to her silence, her face red.
"Hey, Aurore…" Lulu said, turning to him.
"Yeah?" Aurore asked.
"How'd you find me?" Lulu asked.
"This is the only bar in Castelia that doesn't ask for ID." Aurore said, gesturing to her short stature. "And also, this is the only bar in Unova that serves the drink you like."
"You remember that, huh?" Lulu asked, smiling. The two fell into silence again, until Lulu asked another question.
"Why'd you hug me back then?" Lulu mumbled, blushing.
"Well, I guess… because I wanted to?" Aurore said, shrugging. "Sorry, but you just looked so cute."
"Stop it!" Lulu said, frowning. "Whenever you talk like that, it's hard to respond to! It just feels so awkward!"
"Yeah, but I can't help it." Aurore said, smiling. "I mean, whenever I see you flustered, it's just so adorable."
"Yeah, but you don't mean that." Lulu said, frowning. "That's just what you've been raised to think."
"No." Aurore said, pulling her so that they faced each other. "I mean it. From the bottom of my heart, I love you."
"I can't believe you can say such cheesy lines like that with a straight face." Lulu said, laughing condescendingly.
"I know." Aurore said, picking up the glass that the bartender had placed down.
"So…" Lulu said, fiddling with her glass, blushing. "You… really love me?"
"I already said it." Aurore said, brushing locks of pink hair out of her face. "Everything about you… I love it."
"No." Lulu said, frowning, all signs of embarrassment vanishing. "You already love Sora. And Bluebell. And Lilith. And now you're saying you love me?"
"…Yes." Aurore said, nodding, Lulu's head throbbing with an irritation mark.
"Jerk!" Lulu said, hitting Aurore over the head.
"Listen, I didn't mean it like that." Aurore said, rubbing his sore head. "I love you. Not in the same way I love them. Your soul and my soul are entwined together."
"God, what a line." Lulu laughed, blushing. "So you really feel that way about me?"
"Lulu, you and I have known each other for a long time." Aurore said. "You and Sora are the only girls I've even known since I went on my journey. And then there was that… one time when we…"
"Shut it." Lulu said, frowning. "I thought we agreed never to speak about that again."
"Yeah, sorry." Aurore said, laughing. "Anyways, I know EVERYTHING about you. I always get you."
"So…" Lulu said, frowning. "Do you… still want to marry me?"
"Lulu…" Aurore said, hugging her tightly to his body. "No."
The two separated, and looked into each others eyes.
"I don't want to marry you either." Lulu said, hugging him.
"I know." Aurore said. "There's a big difference between what we have and what my family wants."
"Wow, how sweet…" The bartender said, smiling. "I think we've found our spotlight song."
"Huh?" The two asked, staring at her.
"On stage you two!" The bartender said, smiling. "House rules. You gotta sing."
"Um, no, I don't sing." Lulu said, shaking her head. "And his singing voice would make your blood curdle."
"No excuses." The bartender said, smiling.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Lulu asked, turning to Aurore.
"Always." Aurore said, smiling. Without another word, the two turned and ran out of the bar.
Lauren: I have nothing to say to this.
EoS: Really? NOTHING?
Lauren: …NOTHING.
