It was another long day for you, filled with endless lectures, meetings, and assignments that seemed to stretch on forever. By the time you made it back to Arven's dorm room, you were completely drained. The tears that had been threatening to spill over all day finally broke free as you reached for the door handle.

You tried to swallow back the lump in your throat and calm your breathing before opening the door. You didn't want Arven to see you like this.

But as soon as you walked into the room, you knew you couldn't hold back the tears any longer. Arven was already asleep in his bed, his soft breathing filling the room with a comforting rhythm. You slipped out of your shoes and tiptoed over to his bed, feeling the tears spill down your cheeks.

You crawled under the covers, still sniffling and trying to hold back your sobs. You tried to take deep breaths, but the weight of the day was just too heavy.

Suddenly, you felt Arven stir beside you. You turned your head to see him looking at you with concern. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice still groggy with sleep.

You tried to speak, but a sob caught in your throat. Arven didn't need any more explanation. He simply pulled you into his arms, holding you close as you cried.

His warmth and the strength of his embrace were exactly what you needed. You clung to him as the sobs wracked through your body. You felt his hand stroking your hair and his lips pressing gentle kisses to the top of your head.

As your tears finally began to slow, Arven pulled back slightly to look at you. "What's been bothering you?" he asked softly.

You took a deep breath and tried to explain the stresses of your day. The overwhelming workload, the pressure to perform well, and the frustration of feeling like you were falling short. Arven listened attentively, his hand still caressing your hair.

"I'm sorry," you said, feeling embarrassed for breaking down like this.

"Don't be sorry," Arven said, cupping your face in his hands and looking into your eyes. "You don't have to hide your emotions from me. I'm here for you."

His words brought you a measure of comfort, and you leaned into him, grateful for his understanding. He held you close, his hand tracing gentle circles on your back as you cried out your fears and frustrations.

Finally, your tears began to slow, and you looked up at Arven, feeling grateful for his presence. You couldn't remember ever feeling this vulnerable with anyone before, but with him, it felt safe.

"Thank you," you whispered, feeling the weight of the day start to lift off your shoulders.

Arven leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to your forehead. "Don’t ever worry about it," he said, before pulling you close again and settling back into the pillows.

You snuggled in beside him, feeling his warmth and his steady breathing lull you into a sense of calm. His strong arms held you close, and you felt his chest rising and falling in a comforting rhythm.

As you lay there, you couldn't help but feel grateful for the bond you shared with Arven. He was your safe place. You knew that no matter how hard the day got, he would be there to hold you up and remind you that you were capable of anything.

As you drifted off to sleep, wrapped up in his embrace, you knew that tomorrow would be a new day.

---

The next morning, you woke up feeling more refreshed than you had in days. The weight of the previous day's stresses seemed to have lifted, and you felt grateful for Arven.

He was still sleeping soundly beside you, his arm draped over your waist. You watched him for a moment, taking in the gentle rise and fall of his chest, before deciding to get up and start the day.

You slipped out of bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. As you washed your face and brushed your teeth, you felt a sense of calm and confidence wash over you. You knew that the day ahead would have its own challenges, but you also knew that you had the strength to face them.

When you emerged from the bathroom, Arven was awake and watching you from his bed. He smiled at you, his eyes full of affection. "Good morning," he said.

"Morning," you replied, feeling a small smile tug at the corners of your lips.

Arven got up and joined you in the small kitchen area of his dorm room. He started making breakfast, and you watched him with admiration. There was something comforting and satisfying about the way he moved around the kitchen, preparing food with a sense of purpose and ease.

As you sat down to eat, you felt a sense of contentment settle over you. The food was delicious, but it was more than that. It was the feeling of being cared for, of being supported, of having someone in your corner no matter what.

After breakfast, you gathered your things and prepared to head out. Arven walked you to the door, his hand in yours. "Are you going to be okay?" he asked, his eyes full of concern.

You nodded, feeling a sense of determination settling over you. "Yeah," you said. "I've got this. And if anything comes up, I know I can talk to you."

Arven smiled, squeezing your hand. "You know you can always count on me," he said.

As you walked away from his dorm room, you felt a sense of gratitude for the love and support you had in your life. The challenges ahead might be difficult, but with Arven by your side, you knew you could face them head-on.

Just as the sun sets

Arven x male reader romantic fluff

FIRST FAN FIC POST 😰😰

……….

A long walk back from titan hunting, reader and arven look for a place to set up camp, both are tired which leads to a relaxing night which just keeps getting better by the second.

……….

User goes by first person pronouns (i,me,we,myself) and he/him, reasoning for such is i don’t see a lot of male reader writes, if anyone wants it i’m open to switching out for gn pronouns. Arven calls reader little buddy and bud, reader has a small stature compared to Arvens taller figure.

Reader cooking, shy Arven, hopeless and cringe romance, slow moving fic, First person pov, slight use of swear words, VERY SLIGHT suggestive themes emphasis on very slight, crushing, silent confession, sharing sleeping bag?, cuddles, undefined relationship

ps this ended up way longer than i intended.

alternating pov - Arven ➡️ reader

———————————————————————

why does the way the sun pollutes his eyes, the way he squints as we walk foward in the forest, and the way he looks back at me with wide eyes since i walk opposite the sun, why does it make me feel so… crazy? happy? insane? … arceus now my face is just red.

———————————————————————

I looked back at Arven, squinting hard barely able to see. Is he okay? his face is all red, probably sun burned because he didn’t let me put an extra layer of sunscreen on his sensitive face. Either that or an allergic reaction to the herba mystica that he cooked with earlier which ended up spraying him in the eyes and making him cry like he was cutting onions.

I raised my eyebrows opening my eyes wide and letting them relax at the sight of Arven, looking back at him and away from the sun gave my eye’s temporary relief as the world came back into view. Varying bird pokémon chirped at us from the swaying trees as we passed and the wind kept blowing Arven’s bangs from his face, which he always pushed back down, The sun was really attacking me now as it was threatening to set behind the mountains before we made it to camp. You could even hear feint chiming music playing from the sky begging us to settle in for the night. Our leading pokémon had started the walk with us but all ended up tapping out and returning to their balls like ‘raidon about halfway along the trail. Now it was just us, legs tired, hot, eyes burned, and about to collapse on the ground, Thankfully we haven’t yet.

“Picnic break?” Arven chimes from behind me, “for desert this time, you can cook…”

he knew my weakness, letting me make desert after a whole day of assisting his sandwich making.

“you got me there, deal.” I grin back at him, before tripping weirdly as i stopped the walking pace, standing felt like getting out of water after swimming for awhile and still feel like floating, except it felt like the world was still moving past us. I longed to keep going to camp, but knew a break was probably best.

———————————————————————

I set down my back pack, the wind was finally settling after being over the top annoying and messing up my hair over and over and over again. The sun and sky were orange which signified that we would probably end up walking into the night, but i had full confidence it would be worth it since my little buddy made an absolutely to die for desert.

He was unpacking a picnic blanket from my backpack and rolling it out onto the even grass, both of us pulling it back up and tugging from the corners to straighten it out. Sadly we went from walking in silence to setting up in silence, and honestly the nature noises were deafening, it made me feel like he could sense my thoughts and that it made him think i was actually crazy for staring into his eyes like that earlier. I don’t know why i’m like this, it’s like i’ve never ever had a friend before with the way i’m acting…. which at this point might even be true.

I caught sight of a yellow flower beneath the tarp as I readjusted it just one more time and panicked thinking we had set up right on top of a floette, thankfully we hadn’t and i glanced apon a bright yellow dandelion. I plucked it and held it up to the setting sun seeing them match up before i pushed it into the water bottle pocket of my bag letting it stick out.

———————————————————————

Arven was starting to freak me out. He’s been silent this whole time and continuing to shoot me short glances before realizing he pinned his hair behind his ear as he quickly pushes it back infront of his face. It was funny seeing him experience this inner turmoil with himself and i was dying to know what was going on inside his head. He clearly wasn’t upset though, i caught him smiling to himself as a plucked a small flower from the grass. If he wanted time in silence, he’s get time in silence. And by silence i mean without direct conversation because there’s absolutely nothing stopping me from playing a little music while horribly singing and dancing to it.

I had my rotom phone float around us while playing popular upbeat songs, this caught Arven by suprise as he almost drops the plates and spoons when rotom swerves by him. He just stared back at me, face red again. What’s embarrassing him really?

———————————————————————

In the middle of silence his rotom phone speeds by my face playing the singing voice of a women that i cant quite pinpoint. I was zoning out while overthinking my obsession with why i’m acting this way towards my best friend and was extremely embarrassed when i almost shattered every single plate we had. Which for some reason were glass instead of plastic because i thought they’d be nice to have tonight.

I was watching my bud dance with one hand in the air as he used the other to pick up prepared cakes and frosting, followed by fruit. He was yelling out the lyrics which he did not know at all, but still he refrained from directly talking to me.

———————————————————————

It was time for me to prepare my dish now. Arven finally set down plates and utensils, and i had gotten all my foods ready.

I started by slicing prepared mini vanilla cakes into three slices each, followed by thinly slicing the assorted fruits (mostly pecha berries) into half circles. I was about ready to put the easy sweet together but took a moment to stop swaying my hips to the music and to put down the knife to invite Arven over. His silence is over for now, desert is ready.

“Arven, unless you’re having an interesting conversation with the setting sun right now, i have something for you.”

He rolled his eyes hurrying over to me, which i then handed him a spoon and plopped a bit of whipped cream i had made earlier in the day onto it.

“Just taste a bit, i’m not sure if it survived the walk since it looks a bit flat and i trust your judgment.”

“if you insist.” He replied before popping the whole thing into his mouth and closing his eyes. His face reddened more, arceus i hope he’s not having an allergic reaction to this too.

Before he responded with his rating on the frosting i looked at him and studied his face more. I could feel my face reddening too, why did he look so perfect with his face flushed, with his bangs thrown back again which he had yet to notice and which i don’t plan on telling him about. Shit this is not happening, i can feel my heart in my chest, i hadn’t spoken to him the whole walk, and i really haven’t gotten to look at him this close all day, why was he being distant? I wanted to see him closely more often. The music was muted in my head, i was so focused i can even see the scab on his forehead from when a flying pokémon skimmed his head last week.

“ten out of ten and perfection, i don’t think it lost anything from the walk.”

“huh?”

“The whipped cream…?”

Shit i was lost.

———————————————————————

Even though i closed my eyes i could feel him examining my face. He could definitely see i was red, and the redness just wouldn’t go away. Something about this whole day has felt different, and i think i’m starting to discover the reason why.

As always, his desert was timeless and perfect and it wasn’t even done, he had just had me taste the whip cream.

“ten out of ten and perfection, i don’t think it lost anything from the walk.” I state, opening my eyes to a world slightly darker than earlier, it felt odd speaking to him but also nice after i’d been holding back all day.

“huh?” He had a dazed look on his face, hopeful thinking would make me feel like he was experiencing similar thoughts to mine but i really don’t think i have much of that mind set left.

“The whipped cream…” i replied, chuckling to myself but eventually the chuckle made me want to gag myself with the spoon seeing my buds face redden even more.

“crap yeah yeah i got lost for a second, thanks for testing it even if you could’ve died from food poisoning.”

I stood behind him now, watching over his shoulder as he assembled cakes onto the plates. A layer of cake, cream, fruit, repeat. He did this three times for both our cakes before he did the same for our pokémon in smaller portions and in bowls.

Somehow the sun has still stayed in the sky, i notice as i release my pokémon to the picnic area and watch as my bud swats at his phone in the sky. legs tired i finally flop down onto the ground laying all the way down and just looking up to the orange sky shaded by overhanging green trees.

A second figure joins sitting up next to me on the blanket and just placing a plate on top of my torso. I look sideways to see my friend lowering his phone volume and picking up a fork.

———————————————————————

i honestly have no idea how the music got so loud, i panicked as i sat down and heard the high volume. I made sure it was quiet because Arven quiet honestly looked exhausted, i’m also really starting to think he actually is sunburned at it wasn’t him being flustered.

A quick breeze rushed in pushing me back slightly and pulling loud tattering noises from the surrounding trees.

Arven pushes himself up from the ground after moving his plate. I see his bangs away from his face again and he goes to push them infront of his eye again.

“Hey you should keep it there, it’s nice seeing your face.” I say shyly with a grin, blushing so slightly that i actually dont notice i was blushing until i get a reaction from him.

“Wow i knew it, you’ve just been so obsessed with looking at both of my eyes today then haven’t you.” He exclaims probably louder than he meant to, but dear arceus it made my thoughts worse. He ended off with a low chuckle and i honestly can’t put up with this. By this i mean this feeling that i might want to mean more than just a travel buddy or best friend, and maybe the fact that he wants that too.

———————————————————————

This time we weren’t sitting in silence. He turned up his music volume again and we ate our cakes alongside our pokémon. He kept pointing out when he saw a rufflet pass in the sky which brought up a phantom stinging on the scab present on my forehead. I will admit, i’d never thought my hair was that threatening to a small bird pokémon, and i geuss my little buddy had to remind me about it day and night since one swooped down to interrupt a previous walk.

We finished eating quickly so we could return to the walk and find a place to sleep for the night before dark.

We started to pack up just as quickly as we unpacked, except a few of our larger pokémon stayed to help out. Before i pulled my bag up and onto my bag i pulled my water bottle from its pocket and handed it to my bud, as he seemed especially parched, he denied the drink but i insisted, seriously now his face was as red as mine, i think he needed it. I watched as he looked up sipping from my water, why did watching him this way feel different, watching him at all today felt different. a thought i’ve been pushing down for weeks maybe even months now pushing its way back to the front of my brain. I don’t want him to just be my little buddy, or my best friend.

———————————————————————

Handing back Arvens water, i watch as he whistles and rounds up the remainder of his pokémon while heaving his bag back onto him. I see dropped on the floor the yellow flower he picked from earlier. After staring at it for a second I kneel to pick it up from the patch of grass smushed by his heavy bag. And continuing our walk we go conversing about the most random things we can think of, just wanting to hear eachothers voice. A slight flirting occurs back and forth but i could honestly be making this feeling up.

The walk doesn’t last much longer, just under 30 minutes as we settle down under a safety checked overhanging cliff. It hung low to the ground and shaped a corner with surrounding rocks, creating a cosy cave home like corner.

The sky shines a glowing pink over our camp area as it rapidly falls to the ground.

I start setting out some lanterns to keep the light when the sun fully sets. Due to the pokédex, we should be safe here from any hostile pokémon. The swaying trees also aren’t as loud here and arven isn’t being antagonized by birds, so i’d say it’s the perfect spot.

“Tent and sleeping bags or just sleeping bags?” Arven taps me on the shoulder to ask. I take a moment to think about what would be more beautiful for the site, less about warmth honesty.

“I think we can get away with just the sleeping bags tonight, we found a perfect spot and i think it would be relaxing.”

“Oh thank arceus i was honestly not up to wrestling the tent tonight.”

“works out for us both then, i just want to be able to see outside.”

Arven reaches into his bag to get out our two sleeping bags. And by two sleeping bags i mean sleeping bag. Arven has packed one sleeping bag.

———————————————————————

Well that’s that.

“I can settle for laying on mabosstiff.” I say after a long pause as we just look at the lonely roll of cushion. “i’ll be fine i don’t want you sleeping on the raw stone floor.”

The wind stopped blowing as if it was listening to us work this out.

“well yeah you act like i’ll let YOU sleep on the floor, mabosstiff or not.”

Another even longer pause.

We both go to speak again but just talk over each other and pause again. Rotom pauses the music.

“How about we share it?” I propose quietly.

I look down at my bud and see him staring up at me, red face wide eyes and he makes my face end up looking exactly the same.

“Well, sure fine but kick me out in the middle of the night if you need, i understand it’s like your sleeping bag.” He says rubbing at the back of his neck, which is also flushed pink.

“Yeah i wouldn’t do that even if i needed to pull the sleeping bag over my head to hide from a rufflet.” I hear him snort loudly in an amused laughing tone, like he was holding in a laugh and it forced its way out of his nose.

———————————————————————

We agreed to share the one sleeping bag we packed, which honestly is my fault since Arven remembered his and i didn’t, but whatever works. We stripped of our jackets and vests, plopping down the bag, and turning off all the lanterns except one right by our bed for the night. We stayed in our day clothes since they consisted of baggy button ups, and we both opted for solid color sweats and shorts, we were dressed for the night.

Finally here we were. Arven layed down first on his side opposite the zipper and gestured me to hop in. Honestly i was reluctant, so many feelings were brought up today that i wasn’t sure i would make it through the night without exploding into a bunch of little pieces. I’ll manage.

I plopped down right next to him, my back to the zipper and facing him. Honestly we had more room than i anticipa-

He wrapped his arm around my torso and pulled me in as he reached for the zipper behind me.

“shi-“

“what? sorry are you okay did the zip pinch you?.”

“shit no no it’s fine it just kinda… idk closed in the space.”

He noticed his arm was wrapped around my lower back and he quickly let go, i saw his face go red. Maybe i haven’t been making up the fact that he might want more too.

In a time of awkwardness i dove my sky facing hand into my pocket. In it i actually felt something, and i pulled it out. It was the yellow flower from earlier, somehow it’s not smushed and still bright yellow. I just looked up at Arven, and by looked up i mean looked up, i was just about reaching his chest in this sleeping bag that i could suffocate if i leaned foward in the wrong way.

Ignoring that possibility, and also ignoring the fact that he was taller than me made me extremely flustered, i reached my hand up and just put the flower behind his exposed ear and pinned his bangs back with it. I think he could be right about me being obsessed with seeing both his eyes.

———————————————————————

Closing my eyes so i could safe myself from saying anything stupid was interrupted when i felt a hand come up and push the hair out of my face and pin something behind my ear. I opened my eyes again to see his eyes wide looking up into mine, this time they glowed with the lantern light instead of the blinding sun, and they looked up at me wondrously. I feel like neither of us have stopped being unhealthily red since we set off on this quest but i’m seeing the reason. We looked at eachothers eyes in the same way, more than just eye contact, we saw each other in those eyes, and we wanted to be able to see more than just a buddy there.

I reached up to touch what was pinning my hair up,

“Is that the-?”

“yeah, it fell out of your bag when you grabbed the water, it’s uhm… it’s really pretty.”

“this is going to sound stupid but if reminded me of the way the sun reflected in your eyes earlier, when the sun was extra bright. It looked like a bloom of yellow.”

I don’t know why i said that, why did i say that?

“I- you cant just say that and-“ He started, but he just burying his face in his hands.

———————————————————————

Dear Arceus- Arven has absolutely the stupidest way to say things that are so absolutely flirty in the most unintentional way. Or maybe it was intentional- all i know was that as i buried my face into my hands, i felt him grab me by the waist again and pull me up closer to his face.

With a slight hesitation i wrapped my arms around him and pulled myself into the crook of his neck. I heard him gasp in my arms before he wrapped his arms around my lower back intentionally this time.

This time there was a comfortable and wanted silence. We layed there in eachothers arms absolutely exhausted from the excessive walking. Rotom never unpaused the music, the harsh wind never continued, and thankfully we were not antagonized by any bird pokémon at all. The world was silent besides our in sync breathing, our hand rubbing against eachothers bodies and faces comfortably.

It felt right this time, we felt right.

———————————————————————

if you read this far… thank you!

I really enjoyed this write, and i hope other people do too. I wanted the end to keep you thinking and imagining, the story isn’t over.

Also if anything was missing of didn’t make sense then it didn’t copy paste correctly from my notes and i apologize 🙏
