Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

[Because your Pokémon wouldn't help you out right]

...That's rough, buddy. [For all the fears and doubts he's had to wrestle away, he can't imagine how much worse it would be for Hilda.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[Some of them! But she was going to pass them off to other people to keep them in shape - it's not fair for them to sit and be bored just because Hilda is.]

Yeah I know. Sorry. I'm trying not to whine about it.

[tsuntrader]

It's not whining. Even if it was, you've got every right to whine in the world.

[...] You can still go for walks though, so maybe we should get some fresh air once you find that Minccino. [Being inside with things that she won't be able to reach can't be making this any better.]

[50shadesofprotag]

I'm pretty sure it's in this box anyway.

[Here, she'll take it and set it on her bed, flip it open, dig around through the stuffed animals... ah hah! She pulls out the little toy.]

Oh, shoot, I forgot that I tore his tail off from rubbing it too much. I guess I can figure out how to replace it...

[tsuntrader]

[...] It shouldn't be too hard to fix. [They can find a tutorial online or something, can't they?]

[50shadesofprotag]

Probably not. Hah, look how worn out he is...

[It's faded, a little shaggy looking, got a few stains, and the ear looks like it was chewed on... but Hilda seems pretty fond of it!]

I wonder if we should get the baby something cleaner, and let them ruin it themselves.

[Hilda's being so quietly sentimental, it's so weird.]

[tsuntrader]

...Did you try to chew off its ear? [WE INTERRUPT THIS SERIOUS MOMENT TO BRING YOU-]

[50shadesofprotag]

I was a baby! And I was teething.

[tsuntrader]

...There's no way that tasted good.

[50shadesofprotag]

You know what teething is, right? It's when you start growing your first teeth. Have you grown in your wisdom teeth yet?

[tsuntrader]

...My what? [Wisdom teeth? Are they some special wise teeth he didn't know about?]

[50shadesofprotag]

[She points to where wisdom teeth erupt!]

The teeth back here! Remember that one week where I couldn't come out and battle you? That was after I had mine taken out.

[tsuntrader]

[...Oh. Those.

They have a name?]

They grew in a while ago. [Silver you piece of shit motherfucker that had no problem with his wisdom teeth-] Why'd you get them taken out?

[50shadesofprotag]

No room in my mouth, like almost everyone in the world.

[tsuntrader]

[...Yeah, he's just going to awkwardly put a hand on the back of his neck. That would explain it.]

I've lost some teeth on drafts before. [...Did he... ever explain Luceti to Hilda...?]

[50shadesofprotag]

Drafts? What do you mean?

1/2

[tsuntrader]

...You know I met my dads on some other world, right?

All kinds of crazy things happened there. Being drafted for war was one of them.

[He shrugs. It's like talking about the weather to him.] That's in the past now. It was a bad place, but I still learned a lot and even got a family out of it.

[tsuntrader]

I wouldn't be here without it, either. I wouldn't have gotten the chance to meet some crazy totally metal girl I fell in love with.

[50shadesofprotag]

[A...aww. That's sweet! Hilda's worried about the war thing but you know whaaaat, she'll let it go.]

I'm glad you're here. You're my soul mate. I knew it the first day I saw you, you were gonna play a big role in my life.

[She can dish out some sappiness, too!]

This wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but I like it. It's gonna be tough, but it's only proof that we're the best and we can handle anything.

[tsuntrader]

[Nod. Exactly.

As long as they're together, they can handle anything.]

Now come on, soul mate. [If they're gonna go for sappy theatrics, they might as well go all out.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Alright, alright!

[She puts the toy in her pocket, giving Silver a rough pat on the shoulder before grabbing his hand. Let's go for a walk, then.]

[tsuntrader]

[Off they go! It's only once they're outside that he says something again.]

For the record, you didn't know it the first day you saw me. That was the second day.

[50shadesofprotag]

What? ...Oh! Something about being in a line, right? Man, why would you even remember that.

[tsuntrader]

[It's at this time that Weavile peeks around the corner, and Silver nods at him to come over. It's now or never, huh.]

I got the last Casteliacone. I tried to give it to you, but you didn't want to take it.

[And Weavile hands over exactly that- it's a Casteliacone, kept cold enough to seem like it just came out of the stand. (Good ice weasel, best friend.)]

And I got the last one today. I was hoping for two, but...

[Nerves nerves nerves nerves-]

Maybe you'll take it this time.

[He offers the Casteliacone over.



On top of it is a ring.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[Oh... oh! Well. Hilda does turn positively pink, blinking down at the casteliacone. She takes it from Weavile, and plucks the ring off of it.]

It's pretty... but not girly. You know me well.

[She'll rub it in her palm, licking the ice cream as she warmed up the ring, and then slip it onto her finger. Come here, Silver, you're getting a kiss!]
