Fire stood in front of the Viridian gym doors, shaking. They were familiar, in the way things were when you knew they should be, but the memory itself was too far buried to be sure if really nothing had changed. Maybe he should’ve found comfort in the feeling, but there was none.

Just - unease.

He knew who would be behind those doors. Even internationally, Green was well enough known that keeping up with the news hadn’t been hard, and not always voluntary either.

It would be easier to turn around, walk away, leave Kanto again, but Fire had already admitted to that being a mistake. Sure, last time he’d been here he thought it would fix everything. Now, that he knew, that was an excuse he couldn’t fall back on.

Deep breaths. Features falling into that familiar expression, an empty smile, betraying nothing, Fire pushed open the gym doors and stepped inside like he was fifteen again, like this was new and he still had a dream. He could fool anyone but himself.

send “ LISTEN ” to hug my muse against the wall to let them know they LOVE THEM + send “AH” to pin my muse against the wall but letting a RANDOMIZER choose >> send “UGH” to pin my muse against the wall from FURY

it wasn’t a quarrel, the one between them. it didn’t really had the time to become one, because green ended it before. it was on red, this time - he kept going back and forth in the room, nervous, irritated, just wanting to rush out the door and go. not thinking that he could get hurt, not thinking about not being the usual careless self for once, not even thinking that his hands were trembling out of fear - just thinking that there were troubles out there, there were rockets out there, and he needed... he had to... he must think of them.

and green was on the door, preventing him from going out, and red... must have said something. in the heat of nervousness, he’s not even sure what he said, but he made green snap. he suddenly felt the legend’s hands closing on his arms, and suddenly his back was against the same door he so desperately wanted to exit through, pinned on it by the shoulders.

the surprise kept him silent a moment longer than he’d wanted. it took him a handful of seconds to be able to hatch his lips, about to say something...

                       just to see the other drawing closer. his arms enclosing him in a hug.                       and still pressing him against the wall, he heard in his hear that slow, murmured                      ‘ i love you ’.

« ... »

slowly, his own arms wrap around green’s body, hugging him back, despite much weaker - not for lack of strength, but more out of... probably, nervousness. it’s like he almost forgot that there is someone there who loves him. who waits for him when he goes out. who worries if he gets hurt.

     “Shut ya fat gob.” Kane snaps, increasing his hold on the other man’s collar. “I ain’ in t’mood for yer braggin’ ‘n whatever other tauros-shit you wanna spew.” The fingers are trembling as they grip so tight, turning as bright red as Kane’s face for some reason.

     “S’almost like yer knew what I were gonna do. Did y’been watchin’ me? Stalkin’ me?”

     And just like that he lets that foul hold loose, giving a shove for good measure before stepping back and quickly wiping his nose with the back of his half gloved hand. He’s dressed in his usual Umbra outfit today, the emblem on show on his belt. He wonders if the other knows of the gang or not and how that could pan things out.

     Hands on his hips, he looks in thought for a moment as he stares at the floor.

     “Ain’ fond ‘losin’... Should beat yer up really. But y’like some sort of Pokemon god t’people, right? I’d only get shit fer that...”

     He offers out a hand for a brief shake.

red almost bursts into laughter when he sees his boyfriend like that. he barely manages to avoid it, responding at first with just a smirk and a shake of the head, trying to not give him the satisfaction. where. where did he get that idea. what movie did he see to think to do that. does he even need a movie to come up with that idea. probably not.
