"Oh, hey, there was something I wanted to tell you."
That was how the conversation began as Florian and Kieran were spending their time together in the grassy areas near Kieran's home. Ever since the Mochi Madness incident, the two had rekindled their friendship and had become close.
"What is it?" Kieran replied. In spite of how driven he still was as a Trainer, shades of the past Kieran still shone through. Even when his bangs could no longer conceal his features, his resting face was somewhat timid. He still kept his hands up near his chest instead of at his side, and some days he didn't bother with his ponytail altogether. This wasn't one of those days, as he had spent the entire morning preparing for this visit with Florian.
"So my sister is going to be coming to visit soon," Florian continued. "She wants to meet you since I've been telling her about you for a while."
Kieran had to pause for a moment before he replied. "You have a sister?"
"Oh, did I never mention her?" Florian asked. "Yeah, she's been doing some work over in Area Zero. She's taking a vacation, and, well, I guess she wanted to meet you too."
"Oh yeah..." Kieran trailed off. He recalled Florian's stories about the strange, misty land where bizarre Pokemon lived. He could also recall, with the slightest hints of bitterness, that damned Flutter Mane that cost him the Championship. He didn't hate Florian for lying to him about the Ogre anymore, in fact, his feelings towards the boy resembled love more than anything else when he was able to be honest with himself, but he was too competitive to not feel the sting of every loss. "What did you go on and tell her about me?"
"That you're kinda a piece of work sometimes," Florian said half-jokingly. "I also told her that you're really good at battling, very handsome, and a great friend."
"Handsome!?" Kieran squeaked, his country accent getting stronger on the middle syllables. "Why'd you claim that!?"
"Well because objectively, I think you are. Is that bad?" Florian asked with a frown.
"Wowzers! You can't just say that to a guy!" Kieran protested as his blush grew stronger. Kieran didn't even know that guys could feel that way about other guys until he met Florian, so even if he doubted that Florian reciprocated his feelings, even the most wholesome of affection from the shorter man couldn't help but make Kieran get the butterflies. "All that nonsense aside, what's she been doin' all the way over in that Area?"
"She's been studying the Pokémon there with the Professor, I think," Florian said before shrugging. "Don't know for sure. Apparently she isn't supposed to talk much about it."
"Well I'll be damned, she's a regular secret agent, ain't she?" Kieran replied with a chuckle. "What's she like?"
"She's…uh…" He rubbed his neck. "I think the best way to describe her is either 'wild' or 'hyperactive'. I think you'll understand when you meet her." He finished off the bad explanation with a laugh.
Kieran felt a small pit drop in his stomach. He always assumed that Florian was hyperactive, what with his obsessive Shiny hunting and training and all. The thought of a Florian 2.0, equipped with mach drives and afterburners, was honestly quite terrifying. "I don't suppose you'll have to use Pecharunt to calm her down or somethin', right?"
"Well, something tells me you wouldn't want her to know that such a Pokémon even exists…" he said, laughing nervously.
"Why? Is she gonna conquer the world or somethin'?"
"I wouldn't be surprised if she did."
"Wowzers," Kieran trailed off again. "Am I gonna be…well, safe?"
"Just don't show any weakness~" Florian joked.
"Don't have any," Kieran replied, flashing a bit of his newly gained confidence.
"Then you should be fine," Florian said with a hand wave.
"Heck, maybe she's the one who-" Kieran's attempt to continue bragging was cut off by his new Rotom Phone going off. He sighed, pulled it out, and checked the text from 'Sis.'
"Everything alright?" Florian asked.
Kieran raised his voice to do his best Carmine impression. "Kiki help Morpeko got into the Lemonade and she's on a sugar rush Mightyena is fainted I need help."
Florian burst out laughing. "Yeah, that sounds like a problem. Do you need any help?"
Kieran sighed. "I dunno, prolly not. Hydrapple prolly has this under control."
"Alright. Well, I'm gonna go get ready for meeting my sister tomorrow and bringing her over," Florian said as he recalled all his Pokemon back to their balls, and turned to face Kieran, holding out his hand. "See you tomorrow!"
"See ya!" Kieran called out as he turned to run back home.
Thankfully, the situation at hand prevented him from thinking more about Florian. When he got home, he saw Carmine standing outside while Morpeko ran in angry, short circles at a speed that baffled the both of them.
"Took you long enough!" Carmine shouted at her brother as she glared at the rampaging Pokémon.
"How in the gosh darn is Scrafty not already handling this?" Kieran shouted back as he deployed Hydrapple.
"I don't know! He just decided to go take a nap or something…"
Kieran shook his head. The fact that Carmine was almost as strong as him as a Trainer, despite barely having any time to train and seemingly zero authority over her Pokemon at times, was one of life's great mysteries. That was, unless Kieran was in a bad mood, in which case it was more proof that Arceus hated him and him specifically. "Hydrapple, use Earth Power."
The ground beneath Morpeko exploded, which sent the rodent flying into the wall of the house. As if it were a cheap metallic poster, it slid gently down the wall before peeling off, fainted, onto the ground below.
Carmine blinked and facepalmed. "You make it look so easy it's painful."
Kieran couldn't help but shrug. "Type advantages. How have things been over here, other than that?"
"Probably not as good as you talking to your boyfriend," Carmine said as she called back her Morpeko.
"HE IS NOT-" Kieran shrieked, stopping when he realized that his voice was cracking. "Gosh dang it, he's not!"
"Uh-huh," Carmine said with a small smile as she faced her brother. "You're not very good at hiding it, you know."
"I don't care, he's not my boyfriend!" Kieran replied before hushing and rushing to his sister's side. "And I won't want Grandma and Grandpa to overhear-"
"Please, like they'd really care. They're not homophobic." Carmine paused. "I think."
"I'd rather not test that," Kieran shot back, before letting out a loud, long sigh. "I'd say somethin' if I could, y'know?"
"Well, why don't you?"
"I dunno! Every time I wanna, the words just kind of…wither off the vine, I guess," Kieran replied before planting himself on the doorstep and letting his head rest in his hands. "I'm shocked he even wants me around after how I was actin'."
"Well, he probably does like you back, you know. He kinda gives you this weird look sometimes when you aren't looking," Carmine said as she followed him and sat down next to him.
"Oh please, nobody likes me like that," Kieran replied with a huff. "Have you ever had someone you liked like that?"
"Nope, not at all," Carmine said as she leaned back. "Everyone is too boring or weird."
Carmine frowned as her little brother snorted before cackling to himself.
"What're you laughing at?!"
Kieran looked at his sister, grinned, put his arms into 'wings' positioning, and began flapping.
Instantly, her face became deep red. "Th-That wasn't my fault, alright! I swear to the heavens if you tell anyone, I will throttle you!"
"Florian recorded you doing it, I don't need to tell anyone," Kieran lied.
"Even if he did, he's too nice to actually show it to anyone," she said dismissively. "You, on the other hand, are not."
"Yeah, how much does your dignity cost~?" Kieran replied smugly.
"As much as the hospital bill for a broken arm."
"A cup of Pikachews Ice Cream: Extra Nutty would also do it."
"Okay, this conversation is getting annoying," Carmine said as she started to stand up. "Just tell him how you feel, it's not hard."
"But it is!" Kieran protested as he stood up as well. "I'm sure you'll have the same problem someday."
"Yeahhhh, riiiight." Carmine said. "Look, you know that girl that hangs out around here with the camera, Perrin? If I thought she was sexy enough to ask on a date, you know what I would do? I would go up to her and I would just ask her out. No dramatics, no hesitation, I'd just do it, because it's not that hard."
"Perrin? I thought you'd say Penny," Kieran replied, doing his best to hide a smile from forming across his face. "That one girl that came with Florian to visit, the redhead."
Carmine froze for a second, and then cleared her throat. "Her too. Doesn't matter, I'd still do it if I liked them."
"Oh yeah, I guess you wouldn't remember what you two were doing while you were hypnotized," Kieran replied, effortlessly dropping an untrue bombshell that, nevertheless, he knew would drive his sister insane. He could hear the 'grrk' noise coming from her as he opened the front door.
"I-I know you're lying!!" she shouted.
"Yeah?" he replied, the effortless skepticism digging deeper as she followed close behind him.
"Y-You are! If Florian recorded it, I'll just ask him!" She snarled. "Sh-She wasn't even pretty anyway…"
"He didn't record it, but he did watch~" Kieran taunted as he moved to his bedroom.
"STOP LYING!"
"I'm not lying!" Kieran shot back as he entered the room, shut the door, and locked it. Carmine huffed off, probably to text Florian about the matter, but Kieran had to laugh to himself. Being able to get revenge on his sister, as petty as it was, felt amazing after so many years of her overprotective nagging. He regretted a lot of things that he did, but some days, he was able to see how far he'd come, and feel quite proud of himself.
The next day Florian texted him the address to a small cafe in Kitakami, which Kieran ran to only to find the siblings had gotten there before him.
"Over here!" Florian called and waved him over, his sister standing next to him.
Kieran walked over to their side and shook Florian's hand before offering it to Florian's sister. It was kind of shocking how similar they looked; they were probably twins. The difference was that Florian wore his usual button-up white shirt, hat, and blue shorts, while she wore a much tighter button-up, tight pants that seemed more like some kind of plastic than real fabric, and her hair was done into a tight ponytail. Despite resembling some kind of top-secret agent, she beamed with a smile that conveyed childlike enthusiasm.
"So you're the handsome one?" Juliana asked. "I mean, I'm assuming, since you are."
"W-wowzers, nice to meet ya too. And your name is?" Kieran asked, trying as best as possible to deflect from the straightforward comment.
"Juliana! Nice to meet you!" the girl said as she flashed one of the brightest smiles he'd ever seen.
Kieran awkwardly stretched out his hand for a handshake as he tried to return the energy of her beaming grin.
When she took it, she laughed. "He's even got soft hands!"
"Do not," Kieran protested, although he wasn't sure why. "Florian was tellin' me about how you're part of that Area Zero nonsense?"
"Yeah, though I can't really talk about it, you know. Keeping secrets, especially from my brother sucks, but you know." She then smirked. "Though if a handsome boy like you tried to seduce them out of me, well maybe it would work~"
"Come on, you just met him, stop teasing him," Florian said as he elbowed his sister.
Kieran's blushing face and twitching hands probably gave the entire game away. He had to gently tap his face and shake a bit to recover focus before sitting down next to them. "It's fine, I mean…if she does it," he replied, the awkward timing removing whatever 'bite' the comment may have possessed.
"So this Unova, huh? Does the entire region look like this?" Juliana asked as she sipped on her coffee.
"Nah," Kieran replied. "Some parts are big cities, and other places are more, well, rural. Kitakami just never had much connection to the rest of the region. My sister told me that Kitakami was kind of a region by itself, but she just likes bragging like that."
"Well if it has cool people like you, then it's probably better than everything else, anyway," Juliana said.
"I told you she was kinda…" Florian trailed off.
"You're a real flatterer, aintcha?" Kieran replied with a laugh. He assumed that Juliana had some kind of plan, so he remained guarded. After all, nobody had ever 'wanted' Kieran on his own merits.
"It's easy when it's someone attractive," Juliana said.
"You're gonna scare him off," her brother warned, and she just waved her hand.
"Nah, he's fine."
"I hope you don't talk to your brother like that," Kieran laughed. It was clear that the twins knew each other well, although he couldn't imagine being this comfortable around Carmine.
"Oh I do sometimes, whenever I want to annoy him," Juliana said as she turned and fluttered her eyelashes at him, to which Florian blushed and looked away, making her giggle.
That certainly made Kieran visibly uncomfortable. So uncomfortable that he actually managed to order a Vanilluxe Smoothie (which was made in the shape of the Pokemon, a fact that Kieran needed to confirm at the front at least three times to assuage his concerns) and return to the table.
"So, what do you do in your free time out here?" Juliana asked. "I saw a pretty girl with a camera on the way here, so I'd hope you got a chance with—OW!"
"Don't even go there," Florian said after bonking his sister on the head.
"Perrin? She's nice enough. I don't get some of Florian's friends," Kieran admitted as he came back. "That Nemona girl especially. She's so, well..." Kieran trailed off. Somehow, the excitable nature of Juliana reminded him of the powerful Nemona enough for him to be taken down a very odd rabbit hole in his mind.
"So you haven't had a chance to get into her—OWWWW!"
"I said stop!" Florian said before turning to Kieran. "I'm really sorry she's like this, she just doesn't stop sometimes."
"Y'know, I'd expect someone who does such top-secret work to be a bit more professional," Kieran pointed out.
"I'm still only 13, so nahhhh," Juliana said.
"I mean, I may just be fourteen, but I still think I'm more mature," Kieran bragged.
"But being mature is boring!"
"Well..." Kieran trailed off. Seeing Carmine pull all-nighters for tests she'd forget as soon as she aced them certainly lent some credence to Juliana's claims. "I guess you've got a point. Did Florian tell you about the nonsense with that Pecharunt Pokemon?"
"Kieran!" Florian said as Juliana's eyes went wide.
"No! What's that?" Juliana asked.
"A local legend, it hypnotized people. Your brother likes to make people dance with it sometimes," Kieran snorted. "He laughs like a little kid and everythin'."
Juliana slowly turned to her brother with a dumb smile on her face as he frowned at Kieran.
"I literally told you not to tell her…"
Kieran had to let out another laugh. Even if he liked Florian, he was still gonna give him hell.
"Please tell me more, brother of mine. Tell me what lewd things you like to do~"
"I-I don't do lewd things!" Florian said as his face flushed.
"N-nothin' like that!" Kieran protested. "He just likes watchin' people do the chicken dance."
"Brother, I am severely disappointed in you," Juliana said. "You should go find that Perrin girl and make her strip naked right now."
"CAN YOU PLEASE NOT SAY THAT IN FRONT OF MY FRIEND?" Florian cried.
Kieran and Florian's blush grew as Kieran took a large sip of his shake in hopes that the cold would solve some growing problems. "I wouldn' suppose that you do that stuff often, do ya?"
"Do what stuff? Strip naked?"
"N-no! Everyone hasta tah shower, I just mean, like-" Sexual stuff in general, he meant.
"Liiike~?" Juliana asked, her expression making it clear she wanted him to say it.
"Never mind!" Kieran finally protested, his fluster and shame overwhelming him. "Florian was right, you can be a handful."
"No, my boobs aren't big enough for that."
"I swear to god, I will take you back right now," Florian warned as Juliana giggled.
"She's like if my sister had less tact," Kieran replied, making him and Florian snort a little.
"We should meet then, I'm sure we'd have a fun time."
"No," Kieran replied immediately.
"Why not?"
"I mean," might as well go for broke, Kieran thought. "Why would you wanna meet her when I'm right here~?"
Juliana blinked before slamming her hand down on the table so hard the glasses rattled. "GOOD ONE!" She raised her hand for a high five while Florian just sighed.
Kieran gave her a gingerly high five.
"You're right. You're good enough for me," she said. "I like you."
"Your brother does too," Kieran snorted, feeling more confidence brimming inside of him.
"Wh-What?" Florian asked, and Juliana smirked.
"Oh yeah~?" she asked.
"I just have that effect on people~" Kieran continued, internally dying at how cheesy the line sounded.
"My brother's got a cute little gay crush~?" Juliana said.
"N-No! I don't…I didn't say that!" Florian cried as Juliana began to jab him in the sides.
Kieran laughed at he could feel little Ribombees floating around his heart. The blush on Florian's face was so adorable, and the thought that Florian might feel the same way that Kieran did sent him on cloud nine without a second thought.
"You know, if you want, I'd be willing to be a practice dummy for you to-"
"Okay, that's enough!" Florian said loudly as she smashed his hand in his sister's face.
Kieran leapt back as Juliana 'sold' the impact, flopping onto her back on the bench and making a croaking noise.
"Please just…ignore what she just said, okay?" Florian asked, sounding like he was begging.
"What's it gonna cost?" Kieran chuckled.
"Uhhh…I don't know, what does it cost?"
"Hmm..." Kieran's first response was 'a kiss,' but if he said that he genuinely expected to die on the spot. So he went with the funnier option. "Ogerpon."
"Nope."
"Guess you're gay."
Florian stared at him before blushing and speaking quietly. "I-I meant about the 'using her for practice' thing…"
"Oh…oh..." Kieran trailed off. Suddenly, he recalled very intensely the feeling of wanting to shrink up and wither away.
"A-Anyway! Sorry to cut everything off, but we have to go. Mom wanted to see Juliana for a game night tonight, but we can probably meet up tomorrow," Florian said quickly as he stood up and forced his sister to her feet. She'd been playing dead but quickly sprung up, ran over to Kieran, and gave him a big hug.
"See you tomorrow, handsome~!"
"S-see ya tommorow!" Kieran called out as he gently hugged her back before she separated.
For the rest of the day, Kieran trained with Furret, but his mind wasn't into it. It was instead a complex mix of emotions. First it was regret, and anger at himself. The 'gay' comment was a step too far, he knew that now. Now Florian probably thought he was weird, or confused, or some other negative emotion that Kieran became absolutely sure would result in Florian hating him for some reason. Eventually his psyche recovered enough to convince his consciousness that no, Florian did not hate him for a single awkward joke, but he still felt bad.
Then his thoughts turned to Juliana. She was so gorgeous, even if it was because she looked like Florian with boobs, and she seemed into him. Extremely into him. Maybe that's just how she was to everybody, but the amount of obvious affection she poured onto Kieran's lap couldn't be easily dispelled. It made him feel 'loved' in an odd way, and unfortunately, extremely horny too. Teenage hormones could do a lot to Kieran, and on that particular night, it resulted in at least three messy wads of tissue in his room's trash can.
The next day, he received a text from a number that turned out to be Juliana's. That was obvious enough from her first message.
"sup, sexy! bro gave me your number so I wanted to tell you he won't be showing up because of school stuff and that nemona girl you mentioned, so it'll just be me. can't wait to see you! 3"
"Hehe, thanks. Where are we meeting?" Kieran shot back.
"your bedroom, preferably"
"not until after noon, my grandparents and sis leave then," Kieran replied, and as soon as he sent the message, he regretted it. She was just making some joke, why did he make take it seriously!? Why did he fuck everything up!?
A moment later, Kieran recieved one of the most simple texts ever, yet he didn't know how to interpret it.
":0"
"sorry."
"for what :?"
"nevermind lol. Where do you wanna meet before then?" Kieran replied, and then he smacked his head against the wall.
"wherever is cool, I can use gps to find it"
"I could take you to Apple Hills. It's an orchard nearby that's really pretty."
"sure! sounds perfect for a first date!"
"date!?"
"3"
Kieran sighed and let his phone go to sleep. After showering, pulling his hair back into a ponytail, and unzipping his jacket, he went to leave. The only obstacle on the way was Carmine. "I'm heading out, sis."
"What for?" she asked as she watched some romcom on the TV, texting someone as she sat on the couch.
"Hanging out with Florian's sister. She's visiting Kitakami. She was interested in meeting you too, we should set something up."
Carmine paused, and slowly looked at her brother. "He has a sister?"
"I didn't know either," Kieran shrugged.
"Is she cute?"
"I dunno," he lied.
"How do you not know?"
"I don't pay attention to that kind of stuff! Why do you wanna know anyways?"
"Because I was just curious, jeez," Carmine said as she resumed texting someone. "Don't go too far, and don't go anywhere weird with strangers."
"Who are ya textin' anyways?" Kieran replied, deciding to be nosey in his own right.
Carmine blushed. "J-Just a friend from school."
"Just a friend~?" Kieran interrogated, his cat-like smile conveying just how much interest he truly had in her response.
"Y-Yes! It's none of your business, alright?!"
"Whatcha talkin' about?"
"Um…cats? Cat Pokémon?"
Kieran's smile grew wider. "Somethin' relatin' to cats alright~"
"J-JUST GET OUT OF HERE, ALRIGHT?!" Carmine cried, her face entirely red.
"Okay~!" Kieran replied, sing-songing towards his sister as he opened the door and slammed it behind him.
It was a quick enough trip to Apple Hills, and the first thing he saw was Juliana, still wearing what he assumed was her work uniform.
"Heyyyyy~!" she said with a wave.
"Hey!" the boy replied as he bound over to her side. "Pretty out here, ain't it?"
"Come on…I'm not gonna be that obvious," Juliana said with a hand wave.
"Obvious?" he replied as they leaned against a fence.
"That's the usual set up to 'not as pretty as you' but that's completely overused."
"Well, maybe the hills are prettier," Kieran taunted.
"You think so? I mean I've got slopes too, in multiple places."
"And..." Kieran had to admit, that one went over his head. "So do I?"
"You've got boobs too?"
Oh, that's what she meant. "It goes somewhere else. Anyways, if you're with a local, they let you pick some by yourself. Wanna try?"
"Hell yeah!" Juliana cried.
Among the trees various Grass type Pokemon roamed, primarily Applin and a few accompanying Appletuns. Juliana watched as Kieran picked up one of the Applin's and launched it towards one of the taller trees. The small Pokemon thrashed and raged as it flew into the canopy, dislodging multiple apples. The Pokemon landed on the ground and bounced right back up, completely unharmed by the experience, while Kieran scooped two pristine fruits out of the thick grass.
"Oooh, violence~" Juliana said as she took one from him and, after double checking it wasn't a Pokémon, because you could never be sure, she bit into it and smiled at the wonderful taste.
"I think they're the best apples in all the whole world," Kieran replied, as if he had ever tasted an apple that wasn't locally grown.
"The ones in Paldea definitely aren't this good! Though we eat ones grown in Area Zero, which that place just makes everything taste weird," she said as she took another bite.
"What do they taste like?" Kieran inquired as he took a bite out of his own apple.
"The deeper they're grown, the more they taste like sour peanuts," she described.
"Can I ask you a question about that Area Zero nonsense?"
"Depends."
"Florian used this odd Pokemon against me, this thing called Flutter Mane. It's one of the fastest things I've ever seen, and its Special Attack is off the gosh darned charts. What is that thing's deal? It looks like a Misdreavus that hasn't had a haircut."
"Oh…well…" Juliana hesitated. "I…I'm not really allowed to say…"
"What!?" Kieran exclaimed. "You're tellin' me he gets to roll up with somethin' like top-secret government tech and take my Championship and I can't know nothin' about it!?"
"W-Well…okay look…" she glanced around. "I'll only tell you if you absolutely promise not to tell anyone else ever, okay?"
Kieran leaned in close to her, accidentally pressing his body against her as he did. "Cross my heart."
Juliana glanced around one more time, before leaning in even closer to whisper delicately in his ear. "It's not 100% confirmed, but our theory is that it's either a past evolutionary form of Misdreavus or a version of one from an alternate universe."
"Time Travel!?" Kieran exclaimed before hushing himself. "I mean, woah…that's some heavy stuff you got goin' on down there."
Juliana nodded. "And if I find out you told anyone, I can and will smash your balls, and not in the fun way."
"There's a fun way to do that?"
"There's a fun way to do most things."
"And you would know?"
"Of course. I've…never actually gotten to do anything with someone, but I've done a lot of research."
Kieran snorted. "Research?"
"Yes. Lots."
"Sounds more like watchin' videos on the Internet to me."
"Yes, that's what I was implying, duh."
What happened next was a complete anomaly to Kieran. Instinct took over in ways that, if his conscious mind were privy to the mechanisms, it would've executed whatever neurons caused it and aborted the process before it begun. His arm wrapped around Juliana's hip and pressed her against his body, and he leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"Maybe you need a research partner~?"
"I…uh…" For once, she seemed completely thrown off, but she quickly recovered and smirked as she placed a hand against his chest. "I don't know, can you handle it~?"
Okay, too far, too far, Kieran's consciousness protested. Back off and don't do anything that Big Sis would tar and feather you for.
Instead, Kieran lowered one hand to her ass and raised another to her hair, bending her over slightly and yanking her head back just enough that their minor difference in height felt like he truly loomed over her. "Can you~?"
Her face flushed but she held firm as her hand slid down over his groin. "I can handle anything~"
TOO FAR, TOO FAR! Kieran's thoughts screamed at him as the blood in his body rushed south and he unintentionally ground his cock against her palm. This was too much too quickly with someone he didn't know all that well and they were in a public space and everything about this was a bad idea.
"Maybe we can, err, test that hypothesis~" Shitty landing, but Kieran groping her harshly and leaning down to give her a kiss seemed to be the right answer as well.
Unfortunately, he wasn't quick enough, and she was the one to lean in and initiate the kiss, her eyes closing as she squeezed his cock through his pants before rubbing it.
After a few moments, Kieran separated from the kiss and took a step back, and his complete lack of confidence shown through in the absolutely pathetic whimpering noise he made as he caught his breath. His face was so brightly red that it resembled a severe sunburn, and there was a noticeable bulge formed in his shorts.
"Hehehe…are you really sure you can handle me~?"
"Oh shush!" Kieran protested. "I'm…new to this."
"So am I, technically, I just have confidence."
"So are you, well," Kieran started playing with his hands, staring at them intensely because if he stared at Juliana he believed he might burst into flames. "Serious? About this?"
"If you are."
Kieran was easily hornier than he had ever been. "I am."
"Wanna head back to your place or just rawdog it here?"
"Why would we do it here!?" Kieran exclaimed.
"Because it would be hot?"
"You're so weird," Kieran rolled his eyes before turning around. "Follow me home."
"Finally~" Juliana said as she began to follow the boy back.
"Were you planning on this for a while?"
"Nope, but I doubt I'll regret it either."
"I find that hard to believe," Kieran replied as she bounded to his side and grabbed his arm.
"Dude, I've known you for a day."
"Yeah, but yesterday you were laying it on pretty thick," Kieran pointed out.
"I do that with a lot of people."
"And you're still new to it? You must not be very good," Kieran replied, happy with the pout that comment generated.
"Unfortunately, not a lot of people want to have sex with a minor," she said, as if everyone else was in the wrong.
"I assumed you had other friends."
"No, I'm mostly surrounded by adults in Area Zero," she said.
"Is it dangerous down there?"
"Only if you're stupid."
"That makes sense."
The conversation turned towards what Juliana was willing to reveal about her work, that was, until they reached Kieran's house. His heart dropped when he saw Carmine, who was clearly leaving, but she still made eye contact with the pair right as Kieran pried Juliana off of his arm.
"Hm. Wanna explain?" Carmine asked as she eyed the girl.
"We're going to have sex," Juliana said bluntly.
Kieran laughed extremely awkwardly. "Funny, yeah, I was actually gonna show her a team I'm putting together. It's a Fire-Water-Grass balance team mostly based around how that Sinistcha you helped me train synergizes with a Primarina and-"
"Sex," Juliana said, and Carmine smirked at her brother.
"Condoms are in our bathroom, second drawer on the right, hidden underneath the combs. Don't do anything illegal, and don't record anything." She stared at Kieran. "Understand?"
"That's not - I'm not - This isn't -"
"Why do you have condoms?" Juliana asked, and Carmine blushed.
"It was…just in case," she said before clearing her throat. "Anyway, I'm meeting up with Penny, so I'll be back late. Grandma and Grandpa won't be back till after midnight, so don't go all night, alright?"
"Penny?"
"Yes. You know, friends like to hang out sometimes," she said sarcastically.
"Hang out?"
Carmine's cheeks turned pink as she grit her teeth. "Yes."
"Don't do anything illegal, and don't record anything~" Kieran fired back.
She gently smacked him on the head. "Sometimes I hate having you as a brother," she said as she walked away, pulling out her phone to start texting.
"I like her," Juliana said.
"Yeah, she's fine..." Kieran trailed off before his shoulders slumped and he let his head fall limp, his chin touching his chest. "Wowzers, she called it immediately..."
"Well, it was pretty obvious," she said as she went inside first.
"Was it really?" Kieran asked as he poked his head indoors. The kettle wasn't running and the TV were turned off, so it was safe to assume that his grandparents would be out for a while.
"Yeah, I think so. Would've been obvious to me," Juliana said as she already began removing her shirt.
"Hey, hey!" Kieran panicked as he pulled her inside and shut the door. "Bedroom first!"
"But sex in the living room sounds hotter, doesn't it? Just imagine it, my nude body draped over the couch, absolutely covered in sweat from how hard we've been going all night long~"
Somehow, Kieran's blush got stronger. "I care more about my grandparents not finding out. Follow me."
"If we just stop in time they won't find out!" Juliana said with a pout as she continued taking her shirt off, but kept it in her hands as she followed.
"Well…maybe I want to take my time with you~" Kieran flirted as he opened the door to his bedroom. It was as humble as ever, mostly consisting of a large bed, a large desk, a medium-sized wardrobe, and a few posters on the wall relating to Competitive Pokemon. If it weren't for the desktop background - a picture of Kieran hugging his Furret - the room would seem almost lifeless.
"See, this would be way less sexy than the living room. Ooooo, or your sister's room!" Juliana cried as she looked around.
Kieran sighed and grabbed Juliana by the hair, pulling her into the room and slamming the door shut behind her before locking it.
"Ow! You better be good in bed because you're not giving a good showing so far!"
Juliana's teasing only egged Kieran on further. A feeling not altogether dissimilar to the competitiveness he felt with battling came over him as he reached down and unbuttoned her shorts, yanking them down her thin legs while adjusting his grip to the back of her neck, pulling her closer to his bed.
Instantly, she shuddered, her cheeks flushing. "W-Wow, alright, I can dig that~" She quickly recovered as she grabbed him and pulled him into sloppy, passionate kiss.
As absolutely inexperienced as they both were, the fun still shone through as Kieran pressed his palm against her pussy, rubbing it through the fabric as they sat down next to each other. Juliana kept her legs spread as widely as possible, letting Kieran experiment as much as he wanted with her to start.
Meanwhile, Juliana was moaning through their combined lips as she harshly shoved her hand down his pants and started groping at his penis directly, running her hand up and down his shaft as she could feel it hardening.
Admittedly, for as nice as the feeling was, it made Kieran feel incredibly awkward. Some guilty part of him felt like he should give as much as he could to the girl in his hands, and take nothing for himself. So he slid off of the bed, out of her reach, and planted himself between her legs before pushing her forward so that she'd lay back. Juliana craned her neck to try and look at him and say something, but the words got caught in her throat as she felt him press a kiss against the wet spot on her panties.
"St-Starting by pleasuring me? What a gentleman~!"
"That's one word for it~" Kieran practically purred to her as he hooked his fingers around the waistband of her panties and pulled them down, his breath hitching for a bit as he saw a vagina that wasn't on his Rotom Phone or the product of accidentally walking in on Carmine changing.
"What do you think?" Juliana asked. She didn't get much pubic hair but always made an effort to shave it keep herself as clean and pretty as possible.
"Beautiful, just like the rest of you~" Kieran praised her.
It was corny, but Juliana blushed all the same. "W-Well…you should see my chest too~" She puffed it out for him, even though with only a bra on, one could see she wasn't that large.
"I can't wait~" Kieran teased her by not letting her get fully naked yet. Instead, he brushed his fingers against her entrance as his tongue danced up towards her clit.
Despite all her preparation, she wasn't ready for the explosion of pleasure that shot through her as his tongue touched her. Her mind went blank for a moment as she let out a loud moan of joy, her body shaking as her hips slightly raised.
Kieran gently wormed his pointer finger inside of her, recalling an article he read one time that mentioned how a guy should make a 'beckoning' motion in a situation like this. His finger straightened out as he pushed inside of her, before curling and scraping against the 'ceiling' of her insides as it almost withdrew, before he slowly repeated the process. It was much slower than Juliana was used to, and the combination of the kissing and the gentleness that Kieran used on her made the sexuality so much different from her usual masturbation that it almost felt like opening an entirely new frontier instead of the next logical step.
"Already she could feel something familiar building inside her, which sent disappointment through her as she didn't want to be someone who came that fast. Yet, she couldn't help it with how incredible the entire thing felt, her body trembling with pure delight. "Ahhh, more~!"
More? Kieran thought. Well, if she wants it. As a bit of punishment for the teasing, he moved straight up to three fingers, being able to feel how Juliana's inner walls stretched to accomodate the sudden expansion.
"Fuck!" she screamed as the pressure inside her immediately became intense, and she had to stifle everything inside her to keep from exploding as she took deep breaths. "Are you sure…you've never done this before…?"
"I can tell that you haven't~" Kieran taunted her before he wrapped his lips around her swelling clit, suckling on the sensitive nub and delighting in the way that her hips bucked against him and his hand became flooded with the liquid evidence of her arousal.
"Ahhhh…mmmmm~!" Juliana groaned as it became stronger and stronger. She knew she wasn't going to last much longer, so she laid back and waiting for the finishing blow.
That came when Kieran decided to experiment, giving her nub a gentle bite. The sudden sharp flash of pain that accompanied the pleasure ran up Juliana's spine and loosened her resistance enough that she began to cum all over her new friend's hand and mouth.
Her body shook with the effort and pure pleasure flooding out of her, giving her such a strong climax she saw stars. It felt like it lasted for minutes when in reality it was seconds before she collapsed onto the bed, panting.
Kieran withdrew his hand and licked it clean in front of her, probably giving her some other new kind of kink in the process. She was used to the nervous, almost anxious look in Kieran's eyes, so watching him act so confidently seductive set off a whole new wave of lust within her. It was probably the pride in knowing she managed to flip that kind of switch in a guy for real, and the fact that the guy in question was hot as hell. That part certainly formed a positive feedback loop with everything else that was going on.
"So, how do you feel?" Kieran asked. If it weren't for the fact that Juliana was a panting mess and he was the one rising to his feet, the act of asking for a performance review immediately after such an act would've been much more embarassing for him.
"I think I died and saw god for a second there, so I'm feeling amazing," Juliana said with a satisfied sigh before sitting up. "So! It's your turn, let me see that cock!"
"First, take your bra off for me."
Juliana smiled as she did so without questioning, unhooking her bra and tossing it aside, puffing out her chest as she was now completely nude before him.
Kieran's resolve wavered for just a moment as he finally saw a pair of boobs that weren't on his Rotom Phone, on Carmine after he accidentally walked in on her changing, or on some drunk tourist wandering home in the early hours of the morning after some kind of wardrobe malfunction. But he still pressed on, looking down on Juliana with a neutral, forceful expression that made her feel incredibly small beneath her as he took off his jacket and shirt. "How about you get my shorts for me too?"
"Only if you grope me a bit first~" she challenged.
Kieran made a show of rolling his eyes before he did exactly that. Both of his hands launched forward and wrapped around Juliana's petite mounds, molding them and squishing her nipples between his fingers as he couldn't help but let out a gentle pant of lust.
Once again, pleasure washed over her as she reached down and grabbed onto his shorts and started tugging them down.
"You look so cute~" Kieran praised her as he helped her by stepping out of the article of clothing, leaving him in just his boxers after a few moments.
"Well, you're just as handsome as my brother said, and he doesn't hand that compliment out very often~" she said as she palmed his cock through the fabric.
"Really?" Kieran squeaked, before clearing his throat and stepping back.
"Yeah. If I didn't know better, I'd say he likes you. And I can see why~" she said as she eyed his bulge.
Kieran's blush couldn't possibly grow stronger, but he did recover that sacred facial expression as he pulled his underwear down and onto the floor.
"Ahhhhh! It's so…weird! But so hot!" Juliana said as she eyed Kieran's cock with a near hunger.
"Weird?"
"Yeah, cocks look weird, don't you think?"
"No? I think they look, well, hot. Just hot."
"So you are bisexual!"
"Yeah?" Kieran replied as he stepped closer to Juliana.
"So you should try fucking my brother at some point!" Juliana said. "After me, obviously."
"I-I-I-" Kieran could feel his brain shutting off, so he did the one thing he could to move on from that thought and keep the situation going. He grabbed Juliana and pulled her off of the bed, forcing her onto her knees and pressing his cock against her face. Now that she was literally pressing against it, she didnt just pick up on how it looked. The smell, the texture, the heat, the taste, all of it came rushing to her as she experimentally licked at the shaft.
"Tastes weird, but so does skin normally," she said, before reaching up to wrap her hand around the shaft before opening her mouth and placing it over his head. As her hand moved up and down, her tongue flicked across the slit.
"Ah, ah!" Kieran exhaled, unable to keep himself from making almost girly moans as she sucked him off. He tried to compensate by digging his fingers into her scalp, holding her firmly in place.
Juliana didn't mind as she slowly took more and more of his cock into her mouth, sucking it off harder as she inched her way down.
She could even feel him begin moving his hips back and forth, gently fucking her mouth as she adjusted to its size in her mouth. She had only ever seen dicks in porn, but the fact that Kieran's wasn't entirely out of place was a warning sign for her to be cautious about its size.
In fact, the further down she went, the more she had to fight against her gag reflex, but eventually his entire length was going in and out of her mouth as she wrapped and flicked her tongue against every inch she could.
She could feel his balls smack against her chin and his pelvis press against her nose with every gentle thrust, and the sound was only intensified by the moist sounds coming from her mouth and the gentle moaning that came from Kieran. It became too much for Juliana to resist touching herself, lowering one hand down to tease her clit as she closed her eyes to make every sensation come alive just a little more.
To complete the look, knowing that for some people, it did some wild things, she slowly looked up at Kieran as she sucked him off, hoping her lust showed in her eyes.
It had the intended effect. She saw his eyes widen as if he had some kind of revelation, and then suddenly he pulled out of her mouth. Just as she was about to protest, he picked her up off the ground as if she weighed nothing, spun her around, and forced her to bend over the bed. She could feel his cock poke against her ass and upper thighs as he climbed into positoin behind her, leering over her like some kind of Pokemon and filled with a degree of energy that she wasn't expecting.
"So forward~" she said calmly, though her heart was racing. Was this finally it? Was it finally going to happen?
"You talk too much," Kieran almost hissed as he grabbed her hair with one hand and put the other on her lower back. Before she could taunt him more, it happened. His cock slammed into her dripping wet cunt, almost burying itself completely on the first stroke.
For a few moments, she forgot how to speak or even breathe. It took a moment for the pain to register, but once it did, she let out a scream as a bit of pleasure mixed in with it.
"That's better~" Kieran hissed again, before he began rutting into her. Short, sharp shocks of pain and pleasure shot through her entire body as he slammed into her, and the room was quickly filled with the sounds of Kieran's hips smacking against Juliana's ass.
With every thrust, the kernel of pleasure grew larger and larger, slowly beginning to overtake the pain as her moans once again filled the room.
"Louder!" Kieran chastized her as he pulled her head back via her hair.
"Ahhhhhh~!" she moaned as she gripped the bedsheet tightly with both hands.
Kieran couldn't lie, the feeling of being Champion was nothing compared to this. His other hand gave Juliana a firm smack on the ass, lighting it up with a bright red hand mark and filling the room with another yelp of pain and pleasure.
She was beginning to wonder when he'd reach his own climax since she was beginning to approach a second one already as it flowed through her, every smack on her hips making it grow.
The answer was about as soon as both of them expected. Kieran at least had the foresight to pull out of Juliana first, which led to his ejaculation coating her ass and back. It felt like forever as he jerked himself off to milk every ounce of pleasure from his first time.
However, this left Juliana feeling somewhat empty and disappointed as she sat there half-baked, wanting to finish as she flipped over.
Kieran immediately collapsed on top of her. "Bleh..." was all he let out.
"Ah, so we're done, huh?" she asked.
"Only for the first time. Exhausted."
"Well, for your first time, you did really well!" she said as she patted his head. "How was I?"
"Incredible," Kieran replied as he hugged her tightly. "That was really fun."
Juliana nodded. "So…about what I was saying earlier…about my brother…you like him, don't you?"
Kieran figured there was no point in beating around the bush considering what he had just done with Florian's sister. "Yes. A lot."
"Soooo…why haven't you done anything?"
"Because I feel anxious around him, constantly. Your brother kind of kicked my ass…multiple times…cause I was bein' a real jerk. I'm kind of shocked he's still my friend after all that."
"My brother isn't the type to get upset or hold grudges. I mean, I'm his sister after all."
"And Arceus knows that requires more patience than the longest-lived Shuckle," Kieran snickered.
"Exactly! So just ask him out! I do think he likes you back," she urged.
"I know, but it's hard!" Kieran protested. "It feels like the words scamper away every time I wanna..."
"I could tell him you like him if you think that would help."
"No! It's something I should do myself," Kieran replied, before he cracked up a bit. "Plus you'd prolly go on and try to steal him."
Juliana suddenly blushed. "A-Ah, that's uh…um…"
"Incest too?" Kieran deadpanned.
"He's pretty cute, that's all I'm saying, so I wouldn't be opposed…" Juliana said with a nervous smile.
"Y'know," Kieran had to swallow before speaking. "I don't think I would be…well…opposed either, if ya catch my drift."
Juliana blinked as she registered it, and then smiled wide. "That would be fun! But you need to confess first."
Kieran nodded, filled with a strange new sense of confidence. "I will. Tomorrow."
Juliana raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
"You sure?"
"Better now than never, isn't that what they say?"
"I guess." The girl stretched. "So, what now?"
"We should probably get dressed before my sister-" Kieran's stomach dropped as he could hear the door open and Carmine's voice call out.
"Grandpa and Grandma are on their way back so get dressed if you're naked!" she called.
Kieran gave Juliana a look that said 'Listen' and did just that, leaping out of bed and quickly trying to get dressed.
Juliana simply shrugged and started walking towards the door. "Do you think your sister would be up to do it with a younger girl?"
"No and get dressed!" Kieran called out. Juliana was great in some ways, but he was beginning to see why Florian seemed so cagey about her.
