When I woke up, I sighed as I sat up. My eyes were heavy as I muttered to myself, “How long was I out..?” as I looked around. I found Mina sleeping in her room, and decided to take a walk outside, sighing as I began walking down the path to the Central Square of Serene Village. I sat down near the lake and took out a music box that Mr. Aqua left for me after SonicBlade had disappeared, and wound it up as I whistled along to the tune of the song.

Minutes later, I heard footsteps. I thought Mina had woken up, but it was SonicBlade. “So… Pops gave you the Music Box?”

“Yeah, he did. Hours after you first left me. He heard me crying…”

“I told you not to cry, but… you did anyway.”

“You’re not mad, are you?”

“No… I mean, I can’t blame you. I broke your heart. I took the biggest part of your new life as a Pokemon away from you. I don’t know if I can-”

“SonicBlade, just stop. I got over it, and you should have gotten over it too. It’s just a part of life that we’re basically forced to go through. There can be harm, emotional or physical, but what matters is that we got through it, and we’re still in one piece.”

“...”

“SonicBlade…?”

I noticed he was crying. I could only assume he never expected me to make it deep.

“Y-Yasha… That’s deep, man… I… I never thought that way before…”

“Well, there’s no harm in starting today. Now shut up and let me do this…”

I wound up the Music Box once more and whistled to the tune it played. SonicBlade was crying in my shoulder, and I let him do so. I guess… he just knew how I felt that day. And I knew how he felt. He didn’t want to leave. And that wish was almost taken away. He wouldn’t get to see me again if I didn’t go to see Xatu. And if that happened…

“SonicBlade.” He looked up at me. “The thing I wouldn’t really forgive myself for… is not going to the Sand Dune of Spirits to bring you back. I know I did do it, but if I didn’t… I… I would never let myself face anyone ever again. I’m just not that kinda guy, y’know?” He spoke, “We’re friends, Yasha. Best friends. We’re 2 parts of a puzzle that can reveal the whole thing. If one wasn’t there, the other would be somewhat useless. So… I guess… that’s how it’d really feel to you.” I looked at him. “Yeah… exactly.” I said, sighing. “Look, SonicBlade, do you just want to… you know… talk? While listening to this thing?”

“It’s not just a thing!”

“Er.. Sorry!!”

“Come on! You should know this… you called it by its proper name, too!”

“Ehehe…”

I blushed as I was embarrassed. I soon nudged his shoulder, and smile as he sighs, both of us listening to the music box. He leid his head on my shoulder, and we were relaxing on the sand. And strangely enough… I felt a bit hot. Not because of SonicBlade, but what I was feeling.

I thought I felt something for him. I just didn’t know what I was feeling. I wondered…

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“Hey, SonicBlade… if my bed turns out to actually be a bed, do you maybe want to sleep over?”

“I wouldn’t say no, dude…”

“Even if it wasn’t a sofa bed?”

“Yeah. Although that would be awkward…”

“Y-Yeah…”

“But… we should go now…”

“Not yet. I want to spend more time here, staring into the horizon, with you.”

As I said that, SonicBlade blushed. “Y-You mean that?” He asked, his face all red.I nodded. “It’s just… I just want to spend some time with you, man.”

“Y-Yasha, do you realize how people will take these words?”

“I’m willing to accept it.”

I sighed as I stared out to the horizon, putting my right arm around SonicBlade, who sat next to me. I smiled as I got rid of any strange thoughts I was having for now. What mattered to me was that I was with him. That was it.

Later that night, I took the cushions off my couch and it really turned out to be a sofa bed like I suspected. SonicBlade smiled as we laid next to each other. “Yasha… I… I want to ask you something.”

“Ask away.”

“What… what do you think of me?”

“You’re a cool guy, man. I never thought I’d meet someone like you. You’re my one miracle I needed for life.”

“W-Wow…”

“Yeah.”

“Y-Yasha… I… I want to try something with you. Now that it’s midnight.”

“S-Sure… what is it?”

“D-Do you maybe… want to try me out?”

I blushed. Is… Is he asking me for sex?! Well, I didn’t consider us boyfriends yet… I wasn’t yet ready. But this feeling inside me… it’s blooming. And now? Now it’s clear. I want to do it. I want this very moment to show SonicBlade how much I love him. “I don’t know if I can yet… I don’t think I’m ready.”

“Well, you can at least try. I… I don’t know how to say this…:

“... I think I know.”

“How?”

“SonicBlade… you’ve been there for me. So many times. I never knew someone like you could be… could be… uhm… so loving… but I never thought I would go this far. SonicBlade… I… I love you, man. And I’m willing to do anything with you.”

He gave me a warm smile as he began to look different. “How about this? I’ll evolve, then you can do it…” I shook my head and pinned him to the bed as I took my clothes off, with SonicBlade slipping his off as well. “Oh my…” He said. I smirk as I say, “I like it this way.” I said, my sheath soon exposing my blade. As soon as he was ready, I made my move.
