Chapter 9 – The Oak Family (3)
Thomas sighed as he watched the rain falling outside from the pokemon center, leaning against the window sill. Leaf noticed her son's reaction from her bed and got up and went to his side. She puts her right hand on her son's shoulder and asked "What's the matter Thomas?"
"It's nothing mom" He replied, but of course Leaf raised her eyebrow.
"I know you for how long Mr.?" Leaf asked. Thomas sighed in annoyance and rolled his eyes.
"It's not fair that only dad gets to go outside to do more research during this weather"
"Well… It is his job"
"Well, I am HIS son, I can handle this! I'm not a little child anymore!"
Leaf sighed and said "But you will always be our child"
"Yeah, but as I said before, I AM NOT A LITTLE CHILD!" Thomas said as he raised his voice near the end of his sentence. Leaf brings back her right hand to her side and looked at her son with anger visible in her eyes.
"Thomas Oak, what's with that tone?" Leaf asked in a firm tone. Thomas glanced at his mother and snarled.
"Why are you BOTH treating me as if I am a pathetic child!?" Thomas asked back in the same equal firm tone as his mother. Leaf heaved an angry sigh and lean her back against the window sill with her arms crossed.
"You're avoiding my question Thomas Oak"
"And so are you!"
"WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU!?" Leaf started to yell at him
"AND WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH THE BOTH OF YOU!?" Thomas yelled back as he slammed the table hard and pushed himself up.
"WE DO IT BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT YOU AND DON'T WANT YOU TO GET HURT!"
"FOR ARECUES'S SAKE! I'M ALREADY 16 YEARS OLD! I'M CLOSE TO 17 NOW! I CAN MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS AND I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF! THAT IS THE MATTER WITH ME! I'M CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF MYSELF MOM!"
"THOMAS! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN THIS KIND OF WEATHER!"
Thomas let out a bitter laugh, "Oh, please amuse me mom. What could possibly happen to me in this weather? Slippery slides? Pokemons attacking me?"
Leaf rubbed her temples and took a deep breath "Exactly, what if you got yourself hurt and couldn't even contact us" Thomas looked at her as if she was crazy and shook his head.
"You are nutz mom. Even if I don't have my pokegear to contact either of you. I still have my pokemons to help me" Thomas retorted.
"Thomas Oak, listen to me, you are our little baby, and of course we have the responsibility to make sure you are safe and sound" Thomas glared at her, Leaf flinched for a second and recomposed herself. Thomas has never EVER glared at her before.
"I am NOT a baby anymore mom. You've known me for 16 years mom. 16 YEARS! AND IF YOU STILL DON'T KNOW ME NOW, THEN I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN ME BEFORE!" Thomas yelled at Leaf, spun around, walked out of the room and slammed the door hard. On his way out of the hall of the room area he encountered his dad, Gary.
"Hey Thomas, I'm… back?" Gary said but noticed that his son just walked passed him without a greeting or anything. "Okayyyy….. That was awkward" Gary stated as he continued his way to their room.
Gary opened the door and saw his wife sitting on her bed with her arms crossed and facing the wall. 'Oh boy… what happened between her and Thomas while I was out…' Gary thought as he slowly approaches Leaf. "Hey Leaf?" Gary called out to her softly and carefully, not wanting to wake up the beast side of her when she is angry but he got no reply from her.
Gary sighed and sat next to her waiting for her to open herself up instead of forcing her. "What did I do wrong Gary?" Leaf asked. Gary was dumbfounded, his wife is smart, and so he never expects her to ask him this question.
"I would love to answer you Leaf, but I have no idea what happened between you and Thomas. Would you fill me in on what happened?" Gary asked as he pulled her in. Leaf sighed as she sat on her husband's lap and leaned her head on his shoulder and told him everything.
"DAMN IT!" Thomas yelled as he kicked a pebble as he was walking in the rain with his hand in his pocket. He was walking through the Petalburg City, while he was walking, a voice called out to him. "THOMAS!" Thomas turned around and saw Titus running towards him holding an umbrella. Thomas chuckled and bent down when Titus finally caught up to him. "What are you doing under the rain? You're gonna get sick!" Titus asked.
"Out here for a little shower and walk young man" Thomas replied.
"Ha ha ha very funny Thomas" Titus stated sarcastically, 'damn… this kid sure is smart' Thomas thought.
"Well… wanna come to my place? Sora just finished her gym battle, Kari is going up next." Thomas clicked his tongue for missing out Sora's gym battle and shook his head at his idiocy.
"Sure Titus let's go" Thomas said as he stood up and Titus handed him his umbrella and Thomas took it and covered both him and Titus, who is holding his hand.
"I see…" Gary said after learning the fight that both Leaf and Thomas had while he was out. Leaf sighed as she plays with her husband's hand, Gary looked at her and sighed. "I understand that you are worried about him sweety and yes, Thomas is still our child. From our point of view, of course he would be our baby since we only have him unless… you know, we have another child" Gary winks at his last statement, Leaf rolled her eyes and punches him softly.
Gary chuckles and said "Kidding, but the option is still open. Well, that's beside the point. Leafy, I understand how you feel but Thomas does have a point, he is going to be a young adult and he is very capable of himself"
"But -" Leaf started to protest but was stopped with Gary putting his finger on her lips.
"No but Leaf. You know him better than I do and you know that. I believe you know what Thomas wants, we both do." Gary said, Leaf sighed but smiled at her husband and nodded. Gary smiled and pulled out his pokegear typing a message to Thomas.
"Speaking of another child… could we have a daughter next time? Ash, Drew and Paul always tell me how sweet and innocent they are and how clingy they are" Gary stated as he was finishing off his text message.
Leaf rolled her eyes once again and said "I'll consider it"
"Nope, not letting you to consider it Leafy" Gary stated and smirked as he put his pokegear away.
Thomas: Please review
Titus: Someone is surely a meanie today
Thomas: Silence *walks away angrily *
