It's gotten quite late, hasn't it? The sun had long since fallen, and Touya has not seen a hair of Zekrom since giving him his own gift. That was hours ago though... surely Zekrom had not forgotten? But no sooner would he think this that there is the tremble of ground as something large lands down behind him. Before he can look, the dark black claws close around Touya's midsection, strong enough to have a firm hold, yet careful enough that they do not damage the clothes he wears. [1/3]
Easily, the claws can be recognized from the twice split guards that extend from the top of the hand: it is Zekrom! A beat of its wings brings the two off the ground, and several more take them higher, further away from the bright lights of civilization, where the stars will not be overtaken. Higher still they go, enough to dwarf even the highest building in Unova, and only then does Zekrom stop. The sky is clear tonightā Zekrom has made sure. The days leading up to Christmas have been [2/3]
heavy with rain, spurred on by the lightning and thunder called by Zekrom for this moment. With nary a cloud in sight, so high up in the dark of night, it almost seems as though the two are in space, with the stars and celestial bodies seemingly in reach. But it dares not take them higher, where breathing is difficult. Here is just fine, and Zekromās wings slow the ascent into a standstill. It cannot speak clearly in this form, but the mental bond would do. āHappy Holidays, Touya.ā [3/3] Ā Ā Ā
It all happened faster than Touya could register itā In one fell swoop he was picked up with utmost care and whisked high into the sky. Clouds dispersed in their wake but Touya felt no fear despite the view of the ground shrinking. Flying with Zekrom had become almost close to second nature to the Championā as if his wings were somehow Touyaās own too.
His attention quickly shifts to the view after the ascent halts..Seeing the stars so bright and clear sent a feeling straight into his chest, brown eyes seeming to reflect the very far-away lights themselves as they gloss over with yet un-shed tears.
It was almost overwhelming. The sights, the feeling, the realization of just the kind of planning this must have taken his bonded companionā¦ the young Champion finds himself at a loss for words, and even the cold air that ruffles his hair doesnāt bother himā Instead, it invigorates himā a large grin spreading across his face as warm tears finally overflow. He figures this here was the closest heād ever get to experiencing absolute happiness.
āHaā¦Haha, Yāknowā¦I was starting to think you wouldnāt showā¦ You had me worried..ā Thereās weak, but genuine laughter in his words despite the tears, and the young boy makes an effort with his sleeve to wipe the liquid from his cheeks with a sniffle.
āZekromā¦ Thank you. Really.This.. This is the best gift I couldāve gotten.ā Eyes slide shut as his smile softens, and he does his best to gently embrace the familiar arm around him.
āā¦Iām glad I got to see this with youā¦I wouldnāt have imagined it being with anyone else. Happy Holidays.ā
