well. ram IS in the name...

     the sun was merciless. though red wasn’t one to complain, he was far better acquainted with snow and wind chill than the muggy alolan climate. despite the sun setting, he can still feel sweat on the back of his neck and he still fumbles for the air conditioner remote to turn it up in some feeble attempt to chill the both of them down. he can tell that blue is equally as beat-- the battle tree was absolutely brutal today. coupled with the harsh sunlight... it’s a good thing they learned that sunscreen was a necessity after their first week of suffering.

     a long sigh is drawn from his lips and he lets his eyes close for a moment, finger-pads clutching desperately to his soda can in relief from the heat. it was moments like this, regardless of how sticky he was and how much he just wanted to jump into the nearby ocean, that he was thankful for. silence and peace. the only noise he hears is the humming of the air conditioning and the television’s low volume. he lingers there, basking in his tranquility before he feels pressure against his side, hair tickling his cheek...

               “ ... blue. ”

     it’s a surprise he even says anything. there’s a tenderness to his voice, half-lidded eyes watching the other’s face carefully. he doesn’t move, hardly breathes-- because if he does, it’ll probably end. he already regrets saying anything. 

alola

terrible.
