I was assigned to give dragonfree a gift drabble and she wanted something about these idiots so here goes
Cold Shoulder
A black-haired man in dark clothing followed a red-headed man into a cave, looking around nervously.
"Tom... are you sure this is a good idea?"
"It's a great idea! They're perfectly friendly, I promise."
"I thought it ate people."
"One time!"
"Tom that's not very reassur-"
He yelped when a buzzing noise came from further in the cavern.
"Kendall!" said Tom. "We're coming!"
"You gave it a nickname?!" said Roger.
"One, Kendall uses they/them pronouns," said Roger. "Two, it's just a nickname, it's nothing special, and I think they like it!"
"How do you know all this, don't they communicate via buzzing intelligible to even most other Pokemon, who are hard to understand as is?"
"Vibes!"
"...Of course. Honestly I'm over the concept of vib-"
Roger stopped. There before him was Kyurem, staring at him oddly. He took a second to process this before turning right around.
"Nope."
Tom quickly pushed him back into the subcavern. "Come on! They're friendly, I swear."
"Are you SURE?!"
"Positive! Just give them a chance!"
Roger looked at Tom. Then back at Kyurem. Then back at Tom. Then back at Kyurem. Then back at Tom. Then back at Kyurem. Then back at Tom. He finally sighed.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it."
He hesitantly approached Kyurem. Kyurem let out a curious buzz.
"Give them a pet!" said Tom.
Roger gave Tom an "are you crazy" look, but then sighed again, closed his eyes and hesitantly placed his hand on Kyurem.
He stood still, tensed. Kyurem simply stared. Then finally, Roger relaxed.
"It's... So cold... But it's almost soothing. Like an ice pack on your head when you get a fever."
"See, that's it!" said Tom.
He thought a bit. "Do you have any snacks?"
Roger gulped. "Snacks? I have this granola bar right here..."
He pulled it out and offered it to Kyurem. Kyurem snarfed it down, startling Roger and causing him to jump back.
"Ack! Don't scare me like that!"
Kyurem let out a buzz that almost seemed to be a disappointed whimper. Roger frowned.
"Aw, don't be like that. You just... startled me."
He blinked. Then shook his head.
"Wait, no, I'm talking to you like a normal Pokemon. This doesn't feel right. And yet...;
He paused. Gave Kyurem another pet. This time their buzz sounded almost like a purr.
"I think Kendall likes you!" said Tom.
Roger smiled just a little.
"Heh. Maybe they do."
