LAST TIME, ON “DAYS OF OUR RED'S FINALLY GOT A BOYFRIEND”

Comments

[leaguechallenge]

Y-You really want me too? [ AUGH he might actually DIE of embarrassment, but - but he'd totally die for Ethan anyway, s-so it looks like he'll just have to get used to the idea!! ] I - I guess I can. But everyone will laugh...

[blessyour]

Red..! I'm just teasin' yah! [Ethan will laugh, kissing his boyfriend on the blush of his cheek]

I wouldn't embarrass yah like that, I love yah, haha... [he'll squish his nose to Red's goofily]

[leaguechallenge]

You...You are? [ Confusion and relief! And more blushing! But yes he will be taking that kiss and the cuddles, thank you. ]

[blessyour]

Of course I am. If yah got shoved into a dress, that's all you'd be thinking about-- I want yah to be thinkin'bout me when we finally get married. [he speaks quiet and lovingly, cuddling close, hands softly tracing Red's neck]

I know all I'll be thinkin' about is you.

[leaguechallenge]

[ Red's voice is a little hoarse, after he finally manages to recover from how much those words affected him. ]

I - I - o-of course I'll be thinking about you! [ He trembles a bit at the light touches. Doki. Doki. Doki. ] I c-can't believe we're really getting married, Ethan...

[blessyour]

[Ethan wraps his arms around Red, cuddling him. Ethan was always affectionate and touchy, but he hadn't pushed it beyond making out. He would wait until they were married, he swore, because he knew that's what Red would like most.]

I'm shakin', a bit, I can't wait-- [Ethan kisses Red on the lips] I'll buy you a ring real-quick. Anyone yah want, I saved up a whole buncha money for us.

[leaguechallenge]

You - You did? [ Red is touched. He's so thoughtless with his own money, he never learned how to save and so it always humbles him when Ethan wants to buy him nicer things. ] It can be any ring. Y-You know that's not the part that matters.

[blessyour]

[Ethan made sure to take a bit of Red's and his own winnings and put it into the savings too, so it was really their money.]

I know that, but you should love your ring! So every time yah look at it, yah think of me!

[leaguechallenge]

[ Well, if it were up to Red, they would spend it all on Carbos, so Ethan should consider himself the rightful master of money. Also he is getting affectionate neck nuzzling for that comment. ]

O-Of course I will. Because you gave it to me.

[blessyour]

Hahaa... maybe I won't get yah a ring at all. I could get a badge for yah, instead, to wear proudly with all the others! [like those gym leaders you so admired! Ethan's all smiles over this idea~]

[leaguechallenge]

[Well, if Ethan wanted to render Red completely incapable of anything but incoherent spluttering and blushing, he has found the right keywords.

Yes. Even after all this time. ]

[blessyour]

Aha! I got it, that time! You'd like that most, wouldn't yah--?[Ethan is so happy when he hits Red's buttons just right! He feels a swirl of pride, everytime~]

We can have marriage badges, hahaa... just the two of us. Can't never give a badge back, once you've earned it!

[leaguechallenge]

Y-You - You'd r-really - [ GOOD GOD HOW DOES ETHAN KNOW HIM SO WELL. CAN THEY BE MARRIED YESTERDAY. ]

[blessyour]

I'm not teasin' yah, this time, I'm totally serious-like. [he'll nuzzle Red's nose, eskimo kisses~]

A badge would make yah happier than any ring could-- so I'll get yah a badge. A badge that I'll only ever give to you and nobody else.

I just want one from you, too, alright--?

[leaguechallenge]

[ Red swallows with some difficulty. ] Of course! Of course I'll get you one! I'd give you anything!!

[blessyour]

[Ethan laughs wholeheartedly again, absolutely reveling in Red's enthusiasm. He laces his fingers with Red's and squeezes their palms together]

I know, I know yah would... that's why I love yah so much. I'd do anything for yah, right back!

[leaguechallenge]

[ Red keeps his face buried in Ethan's shoulder, mumbling: ] Where d-do we go, to um, get badges made? I never thought about something like that.

[blessyour]

I think yah go to a jewelry-person, like with a ring. I'm sure they'd specially make something for us. [with enough money, which two region champs were sure to have saved up between them]

But let's think about that once we get flown over to Unova...

[leaguechallenge]

O-Okay. [ He takes a deep breath and finally pulls away from Ethan's shoulder, although he's still smiling with a hint of a blush. ] Y-You still want to leave out tomorrow?

[blessyour]

I want to leave as soon as we can and get married as soon as we can. We already waited a while, I don't want to wait anymore.

[leaguechallenge]

Okay then. [ He laughs a little, breathlessly. ] Let's go hurry and pack, then!

[blessyour]

[packing up! And Ethan calls and gets all the arrangements for two people on an overnight flight to Unova. Soon they'll be sitting on a plane, ready to fly over the ocean to somewhere completely new. Ethan will let Red sit at the window, since he's sure the older boy will want to look out.]

I've never been on a plane before! It's kinda nervewrackin', haha... [bit nervous, but too excited to turn back now!! Determination, all for you, Red!]

[leaguechallenge]

[ Red stares out the window, completely entranced by the view of the ground below, even if they haven't actually taken off yet. ]

I haven't been on one either! This is gonna be completely incredible! [ Unlike Ethan, right is not intimidated at all by the plane. Just… Just give him another second. Then he'll notice that Ethan isn't quite as excited as he is. And then there will be cuddling. ]

[blessyour]

I'm not quite sure if I'm scared or excited. [Ethan sits down, leaning beside Red to look out himself. Sure, he'd flown on Pokemon before, but not this high or so fast as a plane could go. There was also something eerie about being inside a tube.]

[leaguechallenge]

[ Red grabs his hand and squeezes it tightly with a reassuring laugh. ] Be excited! We're getting married soon~!
