Oh boy, cranky S/O is so fun because it’s like owning a pissy cat. I’ve decided to give you some weird partial drabbles about how you idiots meet and the aftermath.

BOYS! EVERYONE IS GETTING A CAT, NO THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.

———————-

AZ:

-Meets you on a train after you get done with a horrible day at work. You’re sitting in the only spot next to a space big enough for him to sit down because f*ck being near people. People are staring at him the whole time but you aren’t. Because again, f*ck people.

-He can hear you grumbling, and tries to ignore it at first, but he’s become such a compassionate man in his wizened age, and he finally just cracks and decides to offer a metaphorical hand.

AZ: “Have you had a long day, my dear?”

You: *Glowering and grumpy, not looking at him.*

AZ, sighing: “I understand your anger. It will pass with time, but for now, there is no shame in the feeling. Would you like to discuss it? I have no qualms with lending an ear.”

-You finally look at him and oh my GOD that is a big dude, he is MASSIVE. It’s so jarring that it breaks the anger spell in half and yeets it out the window. You just nod dumbly, and start telling him about your sh*tty day.

-You end up getting offered his phone number afterward, and he calls you later from what must be a really old phone. You both end up becoming friends and you even start offering to visit.

-You’re still a sourpuss and although you’re cordial with everyone, you only really seem to like AZ. It bothers him a little bit that you seem to dislike the kids, as he adores them and being around him often involves being around them too.

-You would likely just remain friends as he is, at least now, more social. Besides, you end up just becoming another found family member. You get along with the kids eventually.

L:

-He meets you in a parking lot, late at night. He happens to be in the area when you leave work, and catches movement out of the corner of his good eye behind you. Someone has followed you, and you aren’t aware until you hear a yell and a scuffle behind you all of the sudden.

-L has put himself between you and the stalker, and since he is pretty massive himself, he’s pretty intimidating. The stalker slinks off, and you realize what happened, or rather, what was about to happen before this random homeless guy intervened.

-L only glances back to be sure you get in the car and lock the door, waiting around until you pull out of the parking lot before he finally wanders off, tailed by a pokemon you’re not familiar with. You’re not normally one to trust people, but this guy quite literally just saved your ass.

-You bring a few items for him in the blind hope that you’ll run into the guy again. The next time you do though, it’s unfortunately when you’re in the middle of arguing with someone about them scuffing your vehicle really badly in the grocery store parking lot. You huff as the person drives off in a rage, and nearly hits poor L in the process.

-He notices how your behavior immediately changes when you see him, how you soften and scramble over to him to see if he’s okay. It surprises him a lot that you seem to like him so much. He’s even more shocked when you bring him over to your car and pull out the things you brought for him. He’s extremely grateful.

-Eventually you bring him home, and of course it leads to you two developing feelings because look at that charming smile! He does notice how cranky you seem to be with others, despite how loving and cuddly you are with him. He worries a little for you, but it also gives him a selfish sense of satisfaction.

Lysandre:

-Meets you at a social dinner for the Kalos elite. You got brought in as someone’s arm candy but the person severely underestimated your aggression toward being brought to social events.

-After an argument outside, you storm off to some other corner and discover a garden off to the side of the main event room. You wander over there, grumbling about how people suck and wondering how the hell you’re supposed to get home now. You, of course, bump into a person standing somewhere close to the path. They’re in a dark spot so you don’t see them

You: *Cranky and slightly tipsy* “Move jackass.”

Lys: *Blinks and raises an eyebrow* “I beg your pardon?”

Lysandre steps out from the dark and you turn to yell. Oh, that’s a big man. Where and how the hell was he hiding?l Well so much for yelling, the words die instantly in your throat. You’re not going to be the dumbass to piss this guy off.

Lys: “Ugly words often leads to ugly situations. Perhaps you’d like to try again?”

You: *Oh no he’s hot*

-You end up begrudgingly apologizing and Lysandre accepts it, inquiring as to what that reaction was about and if there’s something he can do to help. You’re shocked that one of these socialites would give a sh*t about it, so you tell him you don’t have a way home because the jerk who brought you here doesn’t want anything to do with you. He offers and you say no, not wanting to owe someone else a favor.

-He gives you his phone number, his actual personal one not his secretary’s phone number, and tells you to call if you needed anything. No pressure, just wants to offer a hand. You end up texting him when the party ends because you still don’t have a way home. He and his chauffeur take you home in his fancy car.

-Surprisingly sweet and doesn’t even try to hit on you. Just offers to let you vent because he absolutely understands being dragged along as eye candy for a socialite and haaaates it (Women would fight over him at events, that’s why he always goes alone. If he brought a date the poor person would be murdered. So he often finds himself begrudgingly on a woman’s arm that he doesn’t know and being pulled along to meet her friends.)

-You two end up getting close after a lot of late night phone calls and hilariously you bailing him out of stuff. He just comes and hides with you because he cannot deal with the public today. He doesn’t mind that you bare your teeth socially at people. He prefers having someone tough that he doesn’t have to be as worried over.

Cyrus:

- Oh boy this guy. So forget actively meeting him anywhere in public, you two idiots meet online in some kind of chat forum. Cyrus struggles with small bouts of loneliness and has used small online spaces that tend to talk about technology to rectify that. You happen to be in one of those spaces.

-You both have an avid interest in legendary pokemon and their energy’s usage in technology. Yours is because you’ve met Regieleki and wonder if its electrical output could be used to power Galar, where you live. Cyrus, obviously, is using Dialga and Palkia to warp reality, but he claims it’s to alter the power consumption in Sinnoh where he lives.

-You guys end up chatting a little bit about it, and whenever he goes on and sees you online, he messages you a silly gif of a chatot wiggling aggressively at a cup. He’s such a goofball with you and you decide that you like this one.

-After almost three years of knowing each other, his fall in Sinnoh and subsequently telling you what he did, he stops messaging for a while. You keep feeling compelled to check on him. The next time he responds is 6 months later, and you tell him you were about ready to fly to Sinnoh and hunt him down yourself. He messages back “Do it”.

-You scare the sh*t out of him three days later by sending him a screenshot of your plane tickets and he scrambles to get to the correct airport. He can’t just leave you alone there that’s not okay.

-You show up and are regretting this sooooo much there’s too many people. You land in Sinnoh and immediately make for the exit to get the hell away from all of these people. You get a message from Cyrus asking if you’re really here, and when you message him back, you hear a distinct ping of that same app from someone’s phone nearby. You and Cyrus spot each other for the first time, him sat on a bench outside. He sends you the Chatot gif whilst staring directly at you, and when you get the ping and look at your phone, you realize that that’s him.

-He stands politely to greet you, only to get slammed into because you throw yourself into him and nuzzle right into his coat. He’s caught so off guard, but awkwardly pats your back. You’re just glad he’s okay..and that he actually showed up.

-He appreciates the fact that you aren’t social, because he’s the exact same way. You two just curl up in the corner like two pissy meowths that only like each other. It’s adorable and irritating because when Cyrus is with you nothing gets done.

Lear:

-Meets you at the PML tournament, where else?? You’re both growling at each other like angry primapes because you’re being forced to socialize specifically with each other and you hate it.

-You two fight like assholes every time you battle and even your pokemon start getting sick of it. You stop responding to Lear’s challenges and just start avoiding him. He comes looking for you eventually and demands to know what made you run.

-You literally do the “you wanna kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid” and the stupid man, the sweet little dumbass, takes that as a challenge and just does it.

-You’re more surprised by the fact that you like it than the fact that he grabbed the collar of your shirt and kissed you. You two luvdiscs end up making out for like 15 minutes before he finally lets go.

-You guys stop fighting after that. It’s really weird and simple but turns out you two just had a weird little crush on the other and didn’t know how to express it because you didn’t want to talk to anyone and you didn’t want to tell each other.

————————-

I think I got a little off track with this, but it turned out okay. Don’t mind Lear he’s like 20 and has no social skills he’s an idiot.

Could be either platonic or romantic. Or both.

…dawwwwwwwwwww..okay this is really cute.

F*CK IT EVERYONE GETS ON THIS LIST!

————————

AZ:

-Adores this kind of thing. Loves having knickknacks and all that set out to stir memories for himself. When you start getting him things, he’s so happy and loves to display them with other things that match. If nothing matches he makes a new shelf.

-Does the exact same thing back. He gets you little trinkets, or even actual pebbles, gemstones, or fossils he finds along the road when he travels. (As a side note, I believe he does do small vacations here and there to explore uncharted areas like he used to. It feeds the wanderlust.)

-Enjoys telling you stories about where his trinkets came from, which leads into an hour long story about this one time that he stayed with a family of Weaviles in a mountain cave or something like that.

-Makes labels for each of the things on his shelf that you bring, like a miniature museum.

L:

-Just like AZ, he also does penguin pebbling, but unlike AZ, there’s not a whole lot of thought in it. If he likes the thing and he thinks you’d like the thing too, he’s gonna pick it up. His choices tend to gear toward shinier things that catch his attention.

-He gets this goofy look on his face when he gives you things. It’s kind of an expectant puppy look, complete with the head tilt, and his eye darting between you and the thing to try and judge if you like it or not.

-If you don’t, he will offer to take it back (or just do so) and give you something else. He will keep doing this until he finds something you seem to like. Do not test him he will keep this up for days.

Lysandre:

-Starts calling you his little murkrow and accepts any gifts you offer him. He keeps them in a drawer by his desk for safekeeping.

-Doesn’t truthfully care about what it is unless it’s valuable but he does appreciate the effort you often go through to find the things you give him. If it is valuable enough, he may encourage you to sell it and keep the profits so that you can get yourself something cute and shiny for a change.

-Secretly, he will go through that drawer and play with the little trinkets with a cute little smile on his face. It actually makes him really happy that you like him enough to give him these little bits and pieces from your life.

Cyrus:

-Is very confused as to why you do this. It’s completely illogical to do, even if admittedly he thinks it’s a little sweet.

-If you offer him normal trinkets, he may throw some of them away, but he actually likes rocks and gemstones so he would keep those. The actual valuable things, as well as whatever he finds mutually interesting, get shared between you.

-He doesn’t usually say anything specific or over the top when you hand him something exciting. He just observes the item with mild curiosity, eyebrow (or lack of) peaked in interest. He may ask where it was when you found it, and listen to your explanation.

-He does keep one thing; a small, heart shaped moonstone fragment you found him once. You told him that moonstones could bring great change and fortune, meaning an evolution since the stone can facilitate those, but he took it way more to heart than that. He holds onto it like a vice, as if it’s really his own heart, to make sure he remembers why he loves you as much as he does.

-and he really does love you.

Lear:

-Always intrigued to see what you have, but will recoil if he thinks it’s gross. Like shedded Seviper skin or a particularly weird stone.

-LOVES the shiny trinkets you give him. He keeps them in a big hoard like some kind of dragon and loves showing his friends all the different things in his collection. It’s also got a few of his own trinkets in there that he’s found.

-If you give him anything heart shaped and pretty, he might see about getting it made into a necklace for himself. If you find a pair of these items, he will try to make a matching set for you both to wear.

-Asks Hoopa to send you to lots of different places should you ask, so you can find all kinds of things to bring back and show him. Sometimes he goes with you if he isn’t busy.

I tossed ALL THE BOYS in on this one. I don’t generally know how putting all of them in a room would go though, so I’m gonna just pray they all don’t acknowledge each other whilst on this post and move along.

The way I write Lear, he doesn’t share. If you even suggested looking at other partners, he’d get defensive and possibly accuse you of cheating on him. You’re probably his first relationship and he’s really nervous of it going wrong somehow.

Red also probably wouldn’t want to be with someone that he has to fight for like that. If you have his attention, he’s going to want yours because he’s a soft guy underneath the stoic exterior.
