Pokemon [Lovebird]

She shuffled her paws. "I-I've never had anyone say that to me before."

He snorted. "Ever your awkward silences are pretty cute. You don't have to act a certain way around me. Just be yourself." He nudged her shoulder.

She looked totally flustered. She had no idea how to act in this kind of situation.

"I love you," he confirmed it. "I really, really like you. I like how you look, how you talk, how you act, everything. I even like how you...what did you call it, mate."

She jerked upright, looking shocked. "W-what?" she spluttered.

He stared at her. Her lack of replies made it difficult to figure out what she was thinking, and it kinda annoyed him. "I love you," he blurted out.

She shrugged.

He glanced at her. "So when you put your paws on your muzzle like that, does that mean your angry or just have nothing to say?"

She put her paws over her muzzle again.

He stopped talking and looked away. "Well, if that's all you have to say, do you wanna just rest for awhile?"

She sighed. "I guess."

He went on, trying to convince her. "So what if we were abandoned? Most of our generation seems to be left like that anyway, so why bother worrying about it?"

She shrugged, glancing at him.

He pressed himself against her comfortingly. "You're not sad about it, are you? We don't need them, anyway."

Ember stared at him in confusion for his lack of negative emotions and shook her head. "Well, I guess I never really knew either of my parents. I never knew who my father was and my mother was captured by a trainer when I was still a little Eevee. I traveled from then on, not allowing anyone to catch me and fighting to up my experience until I evolved into a Flareon."

"Well, I was born around the same time as you I think. But my dad just went away one day after he got angry at all of us, and my mom got sad and depressed and she committed suicide." He said the dark story without a single trace of sadness or anger, but actually smiled at Ember. "Your turn."

She nodded, scuffing the earth with a paw.

"Well, do you want me to go first?" he setted down comfortably beside the female. "It's kinda nice, you know? To be able to talk about serious stuff and trust the other to not judge you or anything like that?"

"Oh," she said quietly.

"Like, your past and stuff. We haven't really gotten to know each other."

She looked up at him.

"Oh," he replied, scuffling his paws. He walked over next to the fiery pokemon. "Do you want to talk about it, maybe?" he asked innocently.

She shook her head, rolling over and putting her paws on her muzzle.

"By just eating my tail?" he huffed, annoyed. "Were you never taught how to play fun stuff?"

She finally let go of his tail. "I was trying to play," she said, looking slightly sullen.
