Exploring Emotions
Skye thought all day about the kiss she shared with Aaron. If they hadn't been standing directly in front of her parents' door, it would have lasted a lot longer. Perhaps Skye should have waited for a better time to commit to a first kiss, but the...
Touring
"I missed you, Skye," Aaron said, eyeing her face as she pulled away. "I did too..." She slid her watch onto her right wrist and took Aaron's hands into hers, giving them a gentle squeeze before releasing them. "Let me show you my city." Aaron looked...
Prettying Up
Ruki opened his eyes to a dark, silent room. He was sprawled out in bed and didn't feel Skye's warmth beside him. He lifted his head from her pillow and looked around the room and at the cracked door. She was nowhere to be found. Ruki wasn't worried....
The Next Step
"Well... it's been two months, you know?" Skye sat on her bed one evening in shorts and a casual white tee, her phone held to her ear. "So, you want to try in-person?" Aaron slowly paced back and forth inside his kitchen, ensuring not to cross lines...
Training For Lumiose
Fenny woke up an hour after the sun rose. He sat up on the couch and rubbed his eyes while yawning. Fenny still didn't feel his best. He wanted to take his mind elsewhere. Cassidy brought up training last night, so maybe he'd ask her if she could train...
New Life Blues (OLD)
_This seems like a bad idea, but..._ Desmond was only twenty dollars short. A twenty dollar bill was all that stood between him and the opiate bliss he sought and needed. Heroin - it was a rotten little habit, one an ex-girlfriend had gotten him into....
ricky and michael chapter 2
Chapter 2 Ricky was woken up by a prison guard for a routine cell check. Ricky was a bit to slow for the guard and he grabbed Ricky and pulled him out forcefully assuming that he was resisting. After the morning check Ricky was sent out into the...
Taste Test
"His age? Well... I think he's just over the border of what we consider acceptable." The glow of the monitor left Aperio pallid, the long shadows brooding on his square snout. In spite of the tired bags under his eyes - the perpetual luggage of the...
Bold to Even Try
When the kobold slipped through the Fair and Fowl's door, everyone stared. Feyzi, the fennec fox barkeep, curled his lip. Although his tavern was patronized by rough dockworkers, it had standards. Those standards included not serving...
Lust and Adventure
Skye's eyes opened to a dark room, which meant she hadn't slept the full night away. She pushed herself up off of her stomach and sat up, blowing a few strands of loose hair out of her face. Being careful not to wake Ruki, she quietly slipped off of...
Another Week
"Ugh, I just wanna sleep..." Skye turned onto her other side under the covers, facing Ruki, whose chin was resting on his paws while eyeing her. "Why don't you go sleep on the couch? I don't want to keep you up all night." It'd be midnight soon, and...
Out Her Comfort Zone
The next six days were a drag. Skye couldn't quit anticipating Aaron's arrival and where she'd take him in Alola in such a short amount of time. They talked plenty over the phone about how the trip would go in general and a few plans. Skye would meet...
