Saturday, 8:50 p.m.

Luxray

All she was told was sometime Saturday; she didn't know where though, as he never told him. He called up earlier that day to where they would be heading. All he really said was "down the street."

Where down the street?

As she walked on 'down the street,' she stopped at an intersection. She looked one way until hearing a familiar voice.

"Hi there," the voice greeted.

She turned to the voice, seeing it was only Luxray.

"Oh, it's you," she responded in a soft blush. Luxray only smiled back. "So this is what you meant by 'down the street'?"

"Something like that, yeah." Luxray looked around, seeing hardly anyone around. "So…" Absol added one, breaking the silence. Luxray turned around to her, meeting eye to eye. "…What do you have planned?"

"Oh that, yeah…" Luxray started to respond, looking away. "Uh…oh right." He looked back at Absol. "C'mon. Follow me."

"So…haha…" She looked around in the restaurant around her. Hardly anyone was around or in it, which surprised her much. Other than those who work behind the counters, she'd expect for people to still be around…for a fast food restaurant.

What surprised her more was the fact that it was a fast food restaurant.

"…This your idea for a first date…?" Absol asked, a bit ticked off.

"A bit," Luxray admitted, giving a little smirk to her. Wonder how long she'll take the joke…

"C'mon, Ray, couldn't you go for something a bit more romantic—" She blushed at what she was fixing to say. Ray blushed as well with his smirk still on his face.

This is going quite nicely… Luxray thought. "C'mon, you'll like it. Trust me." The white furred Pokémon rolled her eyes as she went along, taking a table across the large glass window along the wall. They both sat on either seats, looking at each other.

"So…" Absol started. "…We haven't ordered yet…"

"Hold on…" Luxray cut in, a bit soft in tone, "We'll get to it…"

"Well are we going anywhere after this?"

"Sure; got that covered too."

"Alright…" Absol looked around again, assuming something was the pop out at random. "C'mon, why this place? It's not funny!"

"Well it kinda is, but it's nice in its own way."

"How?"

"Just wait, you'll see. It may not be 'fancy' as, well, a fancy restaurant, but it has their perks."

One of the workers walked toward the only couple there was at the store, handing them their food. It wasn't the typical fast food they made, but cuisine-like food. Absol eyes widened as she saw the food be placed on the table. The 'waiter' bowed to the both of them and walked back to the counter.

"….H-How..?"

"I got connections…"

"Yo, Blaze, do me a favor."

"What?"

"Try to get everyone outta here by around nine next week Saturday."

"Uh…can you at least tell me after my shift is over?"

"Damn it…then get me a number one. Large."

An hour later…

"So… What did you want to tell me?"

"Can you get everyone out by around nine next week Saturday?"

"Nobody here's at nine, why?"

"Well…"

"Oh, okay." Absol responded to Luxray about his "connections." She really didn't say anymore but look into the food again.

"Well…" Luxray started, looking softly to Absol, "…Let's dig in."

Several minutes later…

Luxray smiled at Absol, who was just taking her final bite into the food. He already finished his food a moment before; all he could really do was not really look around but look at her. Swallowing her final bite, she looked at Luxray as she just realized he was staring at her the whole time. She giggled a bit, looking into his eyes.

"Cute laugh," Luxray said. Absol's giggled turned into a light laugh.

"Shut up," Absol responded, chuckling a bit, looking away.

"So…how was the food?" Luxray asked.

"It was good, I'll admit," Absol responded, slowly nodding. "It's something I still wouldn't really expect here…but, again, it was good."

Luxray smiled a bit more, not sure what to say next. The worker quickly came back, taking in the empty plates, returning back to the kitchen.

"So…" Absol started, "…What else do you have planned?"

"Hold on…" Luxray responded, the smile still on him. "Just gotta wait for it."

"Then what do we do until then?"

"I dunno…" Right then, Luxray crouched down under the table. Absol looked down, unsure what was going on. "Just relax for a bit…" he continued to say under the table, before popping out beside Absol. The white Pokémon flinched a bit as he popped out. Luxray only smiled.

"You changed a lot," Absol said, still smiling.

"Yeah, well…" Luxray started, "It'll be worth it."

Absol only smiled, slightly looking away. She didn't know what to do until the next stop, but something felt…out of line in her. She couldn't quite pin it out what it was…

She looked to Luxray.

Oh… she looked back down. To know that the weird feeling was coming Luxray was…to Absol, not so surprising; yet it felt…new. The feeling felt a bit warm…a bit more than the lesson over at Beach Cave. Having Luxray this close to her…it seemed like something she really couldn't resist.

She scooted closer to Luxray and lightly leaned onto his side. Luxray blushed as she leaned, never seeing her do something close to it. He wrapped an arm around her, feeling her smooth, silky fur for the first time.

O-o-ohhhh yeahhh… He kept stroking lightly her white fur in amusement, and loss of thought. Absol turned around, looking at his content mood.

"Enjoying yourself?" she asked, giving a slight smile.

"Oh, wha…? Uh, yeah, sorry, haha…" He stopped stroking.

"No no, it's alright…keep going."

Of course, he kept on stroking lightly her fur. She slowly closed her eyes, lightly sighing to the stroking. Luxray sighed as well, smiling to her.

…Why the fuck didn't I do this sooner? He wondered to himself.

A moment later someone walked into the restaurant. Absol opened her eye and looked to the customer, Luxray looking toward them as well. The Pokémon looked back at the two, folding his ears back. He slowly walked back from the door, walking off in confusion. The worker looked at the former customer walk back, then looked at Luxray.

"Ray," he started, Luxray looking to him, "You fucking owe me a large number one. Full price."

"I'll give it to ya tomorrow," He responded as he turned back to Absol.

"Anywhere else you're gonna bring me other than the ATM?" she asked.

"Yes, calm down," Luxray chuckled in response. "We'll go to another place."

"Like where?"

"Oh my god, this is so beautiful…"

Division Cut. At night.

"Yeah…"

The sun had almost set, brightening the twilight sky with its pure violet and dark royal blue. Some of the stars outside had appeared from the hidden daylight.

"I…actually never come here around this time," Luxray admitted, "…So this is a first time for me as well."

Absol stayed looking up, enamoring the view she had with Luxray. She didn't know what else to say to him; she stayed close to him, pressing her white fur against his black fur. To Luxray, he felt more relaxed than he did at the previous stop, but was still tense this was all he had to go (that fit his budget…). He did have more to show than the night he never noticed.

It's now or never he thought to himself …or at least until she leaves. Wonder how this'll turn out…

He lean in a bit into Absol and lightly nuzzled her cheek; she lightly blushed but nuzzled in return. Luxray couldn't help out but give a small grin, seeing how calmly this is turning out. This wasn't as far he intended to go; he nuzzled a bit more, lightly licking her cheek. Absol blushed more in surprise and looked at Luxray, who only gave a light smile. Luxray leaned in, to even his surprise, and lightly locked lips with hers.

Absol was shocked when Luxray leaned in for his move, but then relaxed a bit and joined in his fun. …This long for him to finally make the move… she thought. They both closed their eyes and kissed on more, seeping in their tongues into their mouths, holding on to each other as they kissed passionately.

They both broke the kiss, the trail there and breaking away as they both blushed and smiled to each other.

Luxray broke the short the silence. "…Want to continue this behind the bush?"

She was shocked again. "Wait what? Why so soon?!"

Luxray blushed more as he shrugged. "Why not? Might as well…"

Absol looked away as she blushed more, thinking about it.

She later looked at Luxray again, nipping her neck and ran off to the bushes. Luxray followed up, all prepped up.

"There better not be anyone around here."

"Don't worry. It's just you and me."

I will admit that I will regret writing the following chapter…
