random night time times

[screwthejewels]

[Somewhere on the island, months and months before the actual posting of this post, in a Secret Base, there is a boy lying in bed. For some inexplicable reason, perhaps a recent event or another is distracting him, he cannot sleep!]

...

[After a few tosses and turns, he decides to roll out of bed and see if that will help.]

A-Ah-- Oof! ... Now why did I think that was a good idea?

[He sits up and looks both ways, then another brilliant idea comes to him. He tiptoes across the floor of the base and, very gently, pokes the figure in the other bed a few times.]

Hey, Katara. Kataraaaaa.

Are you asleep?

*AREN'T HUGS GREAT*

[YES VERY]


I like to think that she'd be proud of what we're doing though, and if I regret it then she would have died for nothing.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she's very proud of you. I would be, if I were your mother!

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

I think that I'm more of the mother in this relationship.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

-- ah, nothing.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

... If you say so.

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

... you said something about hypocrisy?

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

... Oh, yes, that.

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

... you don't have to tell me about it.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

No, it's okay. You just told me something very important, after all, so... Do you remember when I, um... turned into a child?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

[nods!]

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

I was pretty different, wasn't I?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I just figured that you simply just changed as you got older.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Well... Yes, I did, but it was actually a pretty instant change. I mean, what I meant was, I know firsthand how one single event can change a person, so...

-- N-Not that I'm going to contradict the rest of what I said!

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

It's alright. Go on.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Well... I wanted to be the best. I wanted to be strong. I loved fighting. And... then I met this girl.

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

[... OH MY]

A girl?

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Yes. She was the best playmate I had ever had, though I only saw her for a few days. She was as quiet as a mouse, and loved pretty things. They were the happiest days of our lives, until a certain incident.

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

[... oh my D8]

What... what happened?

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Well, we were attacked by a very powerful Pokemon. No child should have been able to fight it off, in fact, even someone normal as old as I am now would have problems. But I did it, I protected both of us and chased it away!

But... She was more shocked by my aggressiveness than the Pokemon. After that, my father was almost never home. He failed an important test because of me, and went on a training retreat. And so, all because of a Pokemon battle, I became alone.
