"The Middle Man 3" ____________________

Kieran looked nervously over at you. "Do you think your Mom will like me?"

The two of you were on the path to your house in Cabo Poco, Paldea. You decided this would be the best place to start off your vacation, because you knew it would be the most nerve-wracking, so you wanted to get it out of the way. You were certain your Mom would love Kieran. She had even thought it was romantic how he had sent you actual-written letters from Kitakami, even after you had told her about his family's rule about technology.

You place a comforting hand on Kieran's flushed, worried face. "She's going to love you, sweetie! Just like I do!" You plant a kiss on his cheek, hoping that will do the trick.

It did. Kieran rewarded you with one of his sweet smiles, and squeezed your hand before you both made your way in.

"Mom!! We're home!!"

"In here, Honey!"

You follow your Mom's voice to the kitchen. She's not alone. Your Principal from Naranja Academy, Director Clavell, was with her. His arms were around her from behind, as they both chopped various vegetables together for sandwiches.

"Mom? Director Clavell?"

They both turn around with bright smiles on their faces. Your Mom dropped what she was doing, washed her hands of veggie bits, and rushed to you with open arms.

"There's my baby girl!" She stepped back to look you over. "Look at you! You're so beautiful! So strong!" She turned her attention to Kieran, and threw her arms around him as well. "You must be Kieran! She talks about you all the time. I've been looking forward to meeting you!"

Kieran snuggled into the hug, as he always loved affection. Even when he was going through his battle-crazy ways, pushing everyone away, he still craved affection.

When they broke apart, Director Clavell extended his hand to Kieran, who took it. "Hello. I'm Clavell, Director of Naranja Academy. I've heard so much about you. Champion Nemona had filled us in on your incredible strength. Why, Top Champion Geeta is willing to speak to you to consider becoming part of Paldea's Elite Four!"

Kieran's mouth gaped open. "Really?!"

"Of course! In fact, she's expecting a visit from you to her office while you're in town."

You half listen to them, but your mind is whirling with questions. Why is Director Clavell here? Who is leaving from the current Elite Four? Why is Director Clavell with my Mom? Why was his arms around her? Is Kieran seriously considering staying in Paldea and attending Naranja Academy? Why is Director Clavell here??

You decided to settle on one question. "Director Clavell, why are you here with my Mom?"

Your Mom and Clavell then stepped back into each other's arms.

"We're together, honey." She kissed the Director on the cheek. "In fact, we're engaged."

Kieran gushed his congratulations. It took you a minute to get over the surprise and shock, but you congratulate them as well, hugging your Mom again.

Then, Clavell said something that made your head start spinning again. "I'm going to be your new Stepfather."

***

You bury your face in your hands as you and Kieran stand at the balcony of the Poco Path Lighthouse. The early afternoon Sun over the South Paldean Sea, was beautiful, but you couldn't focus. You were still in shock after Director Clavell declared that he was to become your Stepfather.

Kieran put an arm around your shoulder. "Come on, babe. Is it really so bad?"

You peer over at your boyfriend. You knew, you were being overdramatic, and that you should really lighten up. After all, you planned this trip to relax with Kieran, not to complain around him.

You perk up, and lean your head onto his chest, deeply breathing in his apple-woodsy scent. "You're right."

"That's my girl.", and he kissed the top of your head.

"I have an idea." You turn in Kieran's arms to look up at him.

He hugs you tighter, a relaxed but mischievous smile on his handsome face. "Mmm... what's that?" He begins to nuzzle and nibble on your neck. Good thing, he does this often. Otherwise, he'd realize that some of the bruises on your neck came from Drayton.

You breath catches, and you barely get out, "L...let's go sh..shopping in Mesagoza."

Kieran pauses his kisses for a moment. "Shopping?" He goes back to what he was doing.

A slight whine escapes you when Kieran finds a particularly sensative spot below your ear. "Yeee...ah, beffffore we go mm..meet our friends."

Kieran stops to look at you. His smile is more wicked, and his gold eyes look even more mischievous. "Sounds good, babe. This first, though!"

Kieran spins you around, caging you up against the railing. You hear him unbuckling before he hikes up your red and blue pleated skirt, that you had chosen to wear that day, and he rams up into you from behind.

You cry out in surprise. It's a damned good thing there wasn't any other people around that day. Kieran's pumps hard and fast, which means he been feeling worked up for a while now, and couldn't take it anymore, despite the possibility of getting caught be strangers, or worse, someone they knew.

Kieran had skills, because you were already at the edge. You could tell he was, too. He groaned softly, and he reached his hand around to toy in between your folds while he continued to thrust away.

The whimpers you were trying to hold back evolved into rather loud moans.

"Shhhhh...." Kieran's lips touched the top of your head, and the hand that wasn't between your legs came up to cover your mouth.

You bite your lip, but it's useless. Hot, thick liquid from your bursting orgasm streamed down your legs, and you cry out into his hand. At least, they were slightly muffled. Your quaking tightened you around Kieran, and that's all it took for his own ultimate finish. Even he had a hard time keeping quiet. He roared up into the sky, just as he would right before an important battle.

You chant Kieran's name as you take in the final ripples.

After he pulls out, Kieran turns you back around to face him, once again. "That's right, my Dear Treasure. You're mine.. only mine!"

***

Still exhausted from your little adventure at the top of the Lighthouse, you and Kieran are now at the shops at Mesagoza. You didn't dare tell Kieran that the Poco Path Lighthouse is also the very place where you had your first time with your now-Ex-but-still-bestfriend, Arven.

It didn't take you long to find an orange floral sundress with matching shoes. You look over in surprise to see what Kieran settled on. He also chose an orange garment with matching blue shorts and blue lettering that read "Elite Four" on it.

"Seriously considering it, huh?"

"Sure! Why not?", he answered breezily.

"Okay, so, we'll go back to my old dorm room at the Academy, change, and take Koraidon to meet our friends in Levincia!"

*Bzzz! Bzzz!*

You take out your Rotom phone. It's Drayton. You look over at Kieran, who's watching you, and you mouth the words "It's just Lacey."

You turn back to your phone as Kieran goes to the cash register to pay for his items. "Hi Lacey!", you say rather loudly. "What do you want? You know, we're on vacation!" Your voice then lowers to a hushed tone. "Drayton, why are you calling? Are you crazy??"

Drayton pretends to flip his hair back, and put on a high-pitched voice. "What are you talking about? I'm Lacey! Want to see all of my cute Pokémon?"

You couldn't help but laugh at his antics. "Drayster, stop."

"What??? You can't tell me to stop! That amazing Drayton is in charge while you're gone, and it's just not right!" Drayton crosses his hands together, just like the Elite Four Member and Fairy Type Trainer, Lacey, often does.

"C'mon, I gotta go!"

"Why does your hair look disheveled? What have you and Kieran been doing??" Drayton was back to using his normal voice.

You inwardly groan. You tried your best to fix your messed-up appearance before shopping, but apparently, not good enough. "I don't gotta answer that."

"Anyway.", Drayton's eyes became serious. "I miss you."

You bite your lip. "I miss you, too,", you admit, "But I gotta go."

"Bye, my Little Champ."

"Bye, Drayster."

You join Kieran at the front of the store to pay for your dress.

"What did Lacey want?"

"Oh, just showing a new cute move her Plusle and Minun did together, and complaining about Drayton's laziness." You wave your hand dismissively.

You failed to notice Kieran's hand ball into a fist. "Figures.", he muttered.

***

"I so can't wait to explore Area Zero with you all again!", Nemona exclaimed.

You, Kieran, Arven, Nemona, and Penny with her boyfriend, Atticus, a former Poison Type leader of Team Star, now an auctioneer, were all gathered, that evening, at the Go-For-Broke-Grill in Levincia, Paldea, also known as the City of Lights.

Penny turned to you and Kieran. "Is it true that you two went further than when we all went?"

You nod. "That's where we met and battled Terapagos. You should see the crystallized tree down there!"

Kieran frowned, and tore at a piece of his burrito. "I hate how I was down there."

You stoke Kieran's cheek and play with loose strand of black and purple hair that remains fallen in front of his face. "Hey, sweetie, that's not who you are now."

Kieran faintly smiles, but then says something that makes your blood run cold. "Sometimes, I fear I'll have a relapse. Like, at any time, something could trigger that anger again."

Your widened eyes search into his, for any sign that he could be just messing with you, but there is not. He's completely serious. He must never know about Drayton.

You break away from his intense stare, and you look down, pretending to concentrate on your Pinapberry drink.

"I know how you feel about Area Zero.", Arven offered to Kieran. "After my Mabosstiff was almost killed down there, I hated everything to do with that place, but that's also where I got closure regarding my Mom's abandonment and death, and it's also the same place where I fell in love with..."

You put your face in your hands. Is he fuckin' kidding me, right now?

Kieran rolled his eyes, looked away for a moment, then focused back on Arven.

"Oh, I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean to bring that up. I wasn't thinking." Arven shifts to you. "I'm sorry, too, Treas."

Shit!

"What does Treas mean?", Kieran questioned him.

You can't believe what a nightmare this vacation has been, so far. Even chatty Nemona fell silent. Penny and Atticus tried pretending that they've been minding their business the whole time, but they weren't very good actors.

Arven shoved a forkful of food into his mouth to keep himself from answering the question.

Annoyed, Kieran turns to you. "Babe, what does Treas mean?"

You cough nervously, but manage to quietly answer. "Arven used to call me Little Treasure. It's a shortened version of it." You keep your eyes lowered.

The look on Kieran's face went from annoyed to hurt and sad. "But... you're my Treasure. I call you that."

You bite your lip, not knowing how to respond while holding back tears.

"I can't call you that anymore."

Your voice breaks. "Yes. You can."

"I don't think so."

A sob escapes you. You open your mouth to apologize to your friends, but nothing comes out. You just get up and run out of the restaurant, where you release Koraidon and take to the night sky.

"Man, again, I'm so sorry."

Kieran looked straight at Arven. "No, you're not. You did this on purpose. You've been jealous of me since day one. She broke up with you, and she's with me now. Get over it."

Arven rested his chin on his hands. "I'm not jealous."

Kieran looked from Nemona to Penny to Atticus. "I'm sorry if this guy ruined your night.", he said, referring to Arven. "I'm catching an Air Taxi."

After Kieran stormed out, Nemona slapped Arven on the arm. "Why in the hell did you do all that?"

Arven sighed. "I don't know what came over me. She just looked so beautiful. I've always loved her wearing orange, and nostalgia just took over."

"You better fix what you've done.", Penny spoke up.

"I know. I know." Arven knew, very well, that he was going to do no such thing.

***

You weren't too surprised when you hear a knock on yout Naranja dorm room door. You try to ignore it, but the person on the other side is persistent.

You finally give up and let Kieran in, then go to sit on your bed, and sigh sorrowfully. "How'd you know I would be here?"

Kieran looked around, and noticed that you repacked your things. 'I didn't. I checked your Mom's place first."

"Was Director Clavell there?"

"Yes. They are engaged.", he shrugged. "What're you doing?"

"Going home."

"This is your home."

"No. It isn't anymore. I want to go back to Unova."

"What about Area Zero tomorrow?"

"You know, very well, that's off."

"Look." Kieran sits down beside you, and takes your hands in his. "I'm very sorry, I overreacted. I shouldn't have let Arven get to me, like that."

You rest your head against Kieran's shoulder. "Please, don't stop calling me your Treasure."

Kieran took you in his arms, and let you rest up against him. He kissed the top of your head. "Of course, I won't. You are my Treasure, my Dearest Treasure.. one I won't share with anyone."

***

You and Kieran had cut the trip short, and were on a plane back to Blueberry Academy. You were almost late catching the plane, because Kieran had a mysterious errand to run. Plus you had to say goodbye to your Mom and Director Clavell. You noticed, Kieran's wearing his Paldea Elite Four shirt again.

He turned to you. "Well, I talked to Geeta before we left."

Oh no..

"I'm officially the newest member of Paldea's Elite Four!" With a huge grin on his face he grabs you for an excited kiss on your lips.

Kieran breaks the kiss to get a better look at your face, surprised that you didn't look thrilled.

"What?"

"Why aren't you happy? You knew this was a possibility. I'll get my own dorm room at Naranja Academy, or we could share. We'll be closer to your Mom and all of your friends."

"When?"

Kieran looked at you cautiously. "I.. figured, we'll take this time to officially say goodbye to everyone at Blueberry Academy, and then make the move back to Naranja as soon as possible."

"Why so soon? You and Arven had just gotten into a near fist fight. You'll kill each other, living so close by."

"I can handle Arven. That.. back in Levincia, was just a mishap."

"A mishap??"

"There's nothing left for me at Blueberry Academy. In Paldea, I'll be important again."

"How can you say that? You have your friends there. You have your sister, and you have me."

"But, you'll be coming with me. It's a win-win."

"You didn't even ask me what I wanted. You just decided."

"You knew this was a possibility." The edge was coming back into Kieran's voice.

You twist your mouth in a frown. "Yes, but we never decided anything."

Kieran looked at you in disbelief, but takes your hand, rubbing his thumb along yours. "I seriously thought you'd be happy. You'll be in your real home, and we'll be there together.. forever."

"Can we not have this conversation, now?"

"I don't understand. This doesn't make sense. What could possibly be keeping you rooted to Unova?"

You bite your lip, and Kieran studies you closely.

"Or should I say, who is keeping you rooted to Unova?"

You turn your head, so Kieran couldn't read your face anymore, so he couldn't see your tears forming.

You gasp when he suddenly takes your chin in his hand, and roughly forces you to face him.

"I knew it." Kieran's voiced seethed with anger.. and pain that she know she caused, once again. "I knew I smelled him on you the morning we left, and I knew those fresh bites on your neck weren't mine! You think, I didn't hear what he said to you right before we got on the boat??"

You try to open your mouth to speak, to uselessly defend yourself. "I...'

"Shut up! I racked my brain to try to come up with a logical explanation, but couldn't, but I tried anyway, thinking you could never hurt me this badly!" Kieran's voice grew louder, angrier, and more pained with each word.

Tears of guilt and shame streamed down your face.

"And of all people, you were FUCKING DRAYTON!!!" Kieran punctuated Drayton's name with a hard slap across your face.
