selfietake said: "I'm happy I met you, Piers." He reaches out to cup both of his cheeks, pulling him closer so he can briefly press a kiss to his lips, then rest their foreheads together. "Won't ever stop being sorry about where we started, but there's nothing that could make me regret how we got here, together, despite that. And I'm not going anywhere. I'm here for as long as you want me." His smile softens as he pushes hair behind the other's ears. "...but if you want a New Year's kiss, you better steal it."

↪ SELECT: New Years ( @selfietake )

Being on top of a secluded rooftop isn’t exactly how he usually spent the last few minutes of the year. It was better than being down in the streets, with the flashing lights and the excited chatter of ongoing party goers who are waiting for the clock to strike twelve. He knows even in Spikemuth it was in similar fashion; with his residents celebrating in their own way that they get to finish another year together with the strength the town had. Even then, Piers would be alone, unless he was with Marnie. Watch the scene from outside his window with a cigarette in hand, content with simply seeing Galar reach a new year from a safe and less overwhelming distance.

When the hand that’s been resting on top of his own lifts, Piers immediately breaks out of the trance he landed in from staring at the Motostoke stadium lights, curious to see what Raihan was planning to do next. Before he can really guess, he could feel their bubble close around him when he felt his hands on him again. It's amazing what could distract him nowadays. He was never one to be social, so often times he would stare at walls during events and simply zone out into his own thoughts until someone legitimately shakes him out of it. Now, all it took was for Raihan to be in his field of vision. If he held his hand, kissed him, or simply looked at him, Raihan will be the only person in the room, no matter where they are. His eyes locking on the way Raihan moved around the room, or how his fangs poked out when he smiles, or when Raihan looks back at him with a smirk on his face that says he knows Piers wants him close to him. It didn’t take long for Piers to admit that staring at Raihan was much better than staring at a wall.

His hands raised, moving over Raihan’s shoulders so Piers can gently wrap his arms around his neck to keep him close, the beginnings of a smile forming on his lips. He took note on how cold it had gotten since they’ve been up here, now that his bare arms are free from the large hoodie that had been tucked over him. Of course he was inevitably going to steal it, he still hasn’t answered Raihan’s accusation that he purposely came to the roof in short sleeves as an excuse to take his iconic dragon hoodie. He wasn’t going to confirm it, but he wasn’t going to deny it either.

Of course, the cold quickly became something that wasn’t an issue. As brief as it was, the kiss was quick to spread the warmth and comfort across his body. The pressure built in his chest, as it always does whenever Raihan kissed him, and it's his reason whenever his heart started to beat fast in response. He sighs, already starting to lean into the kiss only for Raihan to pull away too soon after. There was a soft whine in protest before he could really stop it. It’s not always that he is the one keeping affection short lived. 

He forces himself to keep quiet as he speaks however. He blinks at his words, unsure if he was really surprised by what he said, but the way his fingers gripped onto the collar of Raihan’s shirt was hard to ignore. The past year, it’s certainly been one that Piers had never expected to happen in a million years. Marnie finally going out on her own Challenge was the only thing he had to get adjusted, that was what he thought anyways, suddenly getting into a relationship with someone he thought would never have any sort of feelings for him was definitely not something he was prepared for. Much less, anything that came after the surprise confession.

He can’t say there’s anything he regrets about it, though, not when he took a moment to move his head so he can nuzzle his nose against Raihan’s with a short chuckle. He’s more than aware of how they started. How the famous final gym leader treated him, how he made him feel on nights where it hit harder than before that he had no one to go to for help during that time. No matter how much it all hurt back then, Piers knew that he could never say that he would want to go back and change anything about it. It makes where they are now all the more shocking, really. It still amazes him to this day how they were able to go from enemies to equals, he knows Raihan’s reasons on how he managed to change his ways, but he wished that part in his heart would fully understand it all.

How he went from doubting his worth because of him, to feeling loved and happy by the same person. “I’m grateful for meeting you, that you gave me a second chance to see who I was.” He pauses to think over what he said, looking at Raihan that wasn’t his eyes once he got too shy to keep eye contact. He doesn’t often think about how easy it was to know that Raihan loved him, where his feelings lied in when it came to this relationship, it was something that became natural quickly after they became official. The more he thinks on it, the more he appreciates how everything started in the first place. Maybe calling him the same person wasn’t the full truth, not with how much Raihan grew over the past few years, his feelings towards the weird goth trainer aside.

“I would hope not.” He replies, seeing his foggy breath as he spoke only reminded him that it was in fact, cold outside. It would be embarrassing to admit that he forgot his surroundings again; the lights not being as blinding and the noise from below becoming muffled while they were sharing their moment on the roof. It always happens, this doesn’t come as shocking to him anymore. Moments like this where Piers knew deep down that if there were to stay like this forever, he wouldn’t mind it at all. Whether it was outside on the spot of the roof, or out in public where he was comfortable in his lap and leaning against him, or in a pitch black room where the only thing Piers could feel was the safety of his arms around him. It didn’t matter where they were, or what they were doing, he would be fine as long as he was around.

“I’m going to be wanting you for a really long time, then.” Its something he blurts out in the middle of his thoughts, his grip on Raihan that he hadn't realized was tightening finally loosening. He really didn’t need to say what Raihan already knew; that the idea of them ever being apart brought a feeling he didn’t ever want to face. And he knew Raihan felt the same way. “You finally caught me, you know. You won’t have to spend anymore years chasing after me now. You have me, and I won’t be going anywhere either. No matter how mushy and embarrassing you get.”

Then he lets out a scoff, rolling his eyes and letting them cast aside to the view in front of them. There was a short “mhm”, as if he was actually thinking about it. Of course Raihan wasn’t going to make any of this easy, he knew he was trying to get him to come out of his bubble. “Maybe, maybe.” He replies, but with his index finger tapping the back of Raihan’s neck in rhythm to an imaginary clock in his head it was clear that he was more concerned with stalling for time. Either that or teasing his partner. It’s not his fault on whatever Raihan ends up thinking.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally stops, the hand he was using shifting again so his fingernails can leave a trail that rests on Raihan’s chest. He lets out a hum as he continues to ponder, swearing that he could actually feel Raihan’s heart at a quicker pace. He didn’t make the effort to hide the smile that came with this thought, it was nice to be able to tell that Raihan was as reactive to his bouts of intimacy as he was. It was taking up all his might to not cuddle up to him so he can hear his heartbeat himself on the spot, instead he lets out a sigh and blinking to look up at him with such softness in his eyes it's a miracle that Piers didn’t get shy and look away.

“Is it really stealing if it has always been mine?” As if on cue, the screams below them become louder as the whistling of a firework soars through the sky. He wastes no time after that, simply tilts his head and presses his lips against his. He isn’t one to initiate the intensity his partner usually does, but when there’s not even an inch of distance between the two when he pulls away and for a brief moment his eyes land down at Raihan’s lips before blinking up at him again, it’s clear that this is going to be one of those rare instances where he won’t be delivering a simple short kiss. “I love you, my beloved.” He mumbles, giving one more kiss before breaking away again. His words are soft, but he knows Raihan can hear him above all the fireworks. “Stay with me… forever? That’s all I really want this year, a promise that you will.”

@selfiekiing​ - Found a Thief.

   He lost Umbreon again. No, no, he knew exactly where the Pokemon was he just didn’t want to get up and go follow after him. Walking through the town, Hammerlocke it was called most bizarre name ever, something had caught the Pokemon’s attention. A man with a phone, who seemed to be taking pictures of himself and chatting incessantly. Something about it took Umbreon’s interest and he had taken off. Cole let him and in the meantime wandered around to get a few things. 

   When he was done, and Umbreon still hadn’t come back, he decided to head off and fine him. It wasn’t to hard. Phone Man had migrated to standing in front of their Colosseum, Umbreon standing behind them with his tail swaying and trying to peek at the Phone. Whatever it was about that thing really had him interested and Cole was almost curious himself. Espeon perked up when she spotted her brother, trotting over happily and bumping her shoulder against one of his blue circles. 

   ❝ Umbreon, let’s go, leave the man alone. ❞

[ @selfietake liked for a starter! ]

Rue probably hasn’t kept in touch with Raihan since losing the Champion Cup - not like you’d stay in touch with a personal friend, anyway. They cross paths when they’re at the same party, and every now and again, his latest selfie shows up on her Rotomphone because she’s still part of a group text no one ever seems to do maintenance on. And, of course, it’s impossible to miss the never-ending stream that he posts to Pokégram and Klink-Klank and the thousand other services she’s never even heard of.

What she’s looking at right now is none of those things.

She turns the magazine sideways and lets the centerfold roll out. A brow arches slowly.

“Oh, that is Photoshopped,” she murmurs - first to herself, but there’s a nameless arm beside her, and she angles to let the arm’s owner get a better look. “Do you think he knows?”

The woman gasps and claps a hand over her son’s eyes before dragging him away.

“Oi! I didn’t know you had your kid with you, lady!” she shouts to the retreating form. “The hell you doing bringing him to this side of the rack, anyway?”

He doesn’t view himself as a jealous person, no matter how many times people tend to call him one. He isn’t sure if he thinks this way out of pure denial or simply because, in actuality, he’s not a jealous person. I’m not actually that petty. He likes to think, when he does things like this with no visible hesitation or doubt in his mind that this was probably the worst idea.

Not his problem fans can’t keep their hands to themselves. He won’t be the person to say this out loud, however, not when he appeared from the shadows and gently shoo’d a few teenagers away from the closed in space so he had room to fall right onto Raihan’s lap. It didn’t take long for them to be surprised by the sudden entrance and then leave after a few words, and he wasn’t about to voice the pride he felt rising in his chest out loud.

“I’m bored.” His immediate excuse, shifting in his spot so his body can comfortably lean against Raihan’s chest. Of course the lobby was going to be busy the first few days of a new Gym Challenge, but as usual, he would rather be home. He didn’t realize until it was too late that he was staring at any suspicious person that walked past with narrow eyes, he can’t tell if its worse here or from the corner of the lobby when someone did get too close to Raihan. “If we sneak out Rose will have our heads. More my fault if anything, he gets stricter everytime I don’t show up to these things.”

   He’s going to punch him.

   His hand clenches down at his side, fingers curling tightly against his palm. The Snag Machine keeps his nails from digging into the flesh of his left hand but the right one draws just the smallest beads of blood against his palm. There’s a twitch to his eye, just once, and Cole allows himself to turn to regard the stranger. He recognizes this man, though his name escapes Cole’s mind, he’s seen him around the town and the posters set up near the Colosseum. That will however in no way save him from the Leader of Mount Battles wrath. 

   ❝ I have a question too. ❞   He replies, voice terrifyingly calm despite the burning rage inside his chest. He can feel Umbreon and Espeon step closer, the Pokemon regarding him with worry as Espeon keeps her gaze focused to the other man. Cole spares a glance to the Rotom Phone, that garbage piece of tech that a Pokemon is forced into being just adding to Cole’s irritation. He wonders if the mans recording this, or whatever else the young trainers of the Regions now do. 

   ❝ Do you at all care for the Pokemon in your possession, or are you just collecting them? ❞   The word the other trainer used falls from his lips with venom, the anger unable to be kept at bay this time as he has to say it. He forces his fingers to relax, right hand reaching down to pat Umbreon’s head to show him he’s fine and the other man would keep their head for now. 

   Turning his back to the man he continues in the direction of the Colosseum to beat information out of people now as an attempt at releasing his terrible mood.
