Watching Rai again pause for more pictures with his beloved fans, Sai settled against the wall as she waited.  Trying to be patient but failing as she saw more people coming out to greet him.  She sighed, trying to hide her slight insecurity and jealousy.  This was ridiculous.  There was no need to be jealous, this wasn’t anything new or unusual for him.  She knew that she had no right to be annoyed.  She knew what she had been signing up for when she had gotten together with Raihan.  Yes, that Raihan.  The one and only Raihan.  Galar’s Dragon Tamer, gym leader of the Hammerlocke gym.  The most popular gym leader. And the number one most followed Pokegram influencer in all of Galar.

And for that, he needed his rotom by his side twenty-four seven.  No matter the time of day or what was going on.  Hell, the guy was practically married to his rotom.  It was sort of his gimmick.  He was always posting pictures on his Pokegram, to his ClickChat, updating his Pokeon, or doing little videos for his TubeChannel.  His fans had supported him (mentally and financially) through thick and thin, and for that he owed them for where he was today.  In return he had made his fans feel like they were part of his life, his friends.  He would do anything for them. So he signed every scrap of paper, took every picture, visited the hospital and birthday parties when it was possible.  And he was so good with them.

Still, Sai couldn’t help but grumble when she saw a group of fangirls getting a little too close to him.  She couldn’t help it. There were so many good-looking girls out there that would kill to be in her position.  Not to mention the few that had tried to boot her from the position.  None that had been successful but the very fact that they had attempted had turned her off from all fangirls.  “Don’t be jealous, don’t be jealous…” she told herself again, hoping that maybe this time she wouldn’t be.  Take a deep breath, count to ten…

Her eyes narrowed at one particular girl.  This girl had been tossing her hair over her shoulder and trying every game in the book to flirt with him.  The loud, obnoxious laugh and overly large smile.  Her false, over-mascaraed eyelashes fluttering up at him, trying to send a not-so subtle ‘fuck me’ message to the leader.  And then she was continuously trying to feel his biceps through his jacket, or touch his stomach, or press against him.  Never mind that Raihan had removed her hands from him again and again, this girl just never got the hint.  She almost reminded Sai of a Smoochum, or maybe a Jynx with her desperation.

Sai was getting tired of it.  She was standing right here in front of them, and this girl insisted on making an ass of herself. Raihan laughed politely at something she said but his eyes found Sai’s.  He was already mentally wrapping this up and ready to get out of here. Hopefully they could still make their dinner reservation.

But still the girl just did not get the hint!  She had even offered him one of those pocky cookies that he had politely taken, perhaps in the hopes that she would finally leave him alone.  That didn’t work either.

“Raihan, have you ever heard of the pocky game?” the girl sweetly asked him, her eyelashes still fluttering at him.  Sai’s ears perked.  Oh, no… that bitch had gone too far this time.

He had already put one end of the cookie in his mouth when the girl spoke.  “The pocky game? I… I might have.  But I know that there are a couple different ones out there.”  Poor Raihan was giving her another chance to back off.  He hated being rude to people, especially if they were fans.  Sai doubted that this girl would only get the point if he was though.

The girl nodded, playing with the ends of her hair. Sai really hated her.  Especially if she was going to try and pull what Sai thought she was.  “Yes. You and another person slowly eat the pocky from opposite ends, without hands, until you run out of pocky.  I can help show you if you want.”

Raihan’s cheeks had even gone pink.  There was no way that he had misunderstood that.  “That is quite unnecessary…” he started to say, even as the girl had dared to take a single step towards him.

Sai saw red.  Her fists clenched and her body began to shake as her anger began to get the better of her.  This was completely inappropriate and disrespectful that one could do to a close friend, let alone an almost complete stranger.  She was tired of this… waiting in the shadows and background.  No more.

It was time to wrap this up and show the others just who Raihan belonged to.  Pushing herself away from the wall, she stepped up to where Raihan was.  Raihan had just glanced over to her just in time for her to seize the strings of his hoodie and pull him down to her level.  She didn’t give him a moment to prepare. Instead, she bit through the cookie, chewing it quickly before pressing her lips to his.  

Then the world stopped moving.

The world faded to black, the noises around them silencing.  His lips were soft and full, tasting faintly of cookie and the tea that they had had before they had left for the afternoon.  She could smell his cologne and the hair product that he had thrown in his hair earlier that morning.  Sai had thought that she had overstepped, done the wrong thing when he hadn’t responded right away.  But then his lips pressed and pulled against hers, his teeth nipping at her.  His hands found her sides, pulling her closer to him, feeling his tongue slip against hers.  Taking his time with kissing her, showing her how much he needed this.  Yes.  This was the Raihan that she loved and adored.  The one that, despite the people all around them, he could make her feel like this.  Loved, secure and happy.

Crazy fangirls be damned.

When they finally pulled away, the crowd was giggling and clapping, seemingly thrilled with the impromptu show.  Raihan had blinked at the fans and then down at Sai.  “Hopefully you don’t mind this ending up on the Pokegram?” he asked her, showing her the picture that his rotom had caught of them as they had been mid-makeout session.
