“hey–” he pouts, loosening his hold on the younger. hand coming to ruffle his cousins hair. he’s always been one to show affection like this, ever since they’d been younger and seungho use to have the height and weight advantage against the other. but then hyunjin decided to become a brick wall or something. “i’m not a stick! i’m… lean.” he sounds like he doesn’t believe himself though as he says this and does end up releasing the younger after a moment. 

“what do you want to eat?” he finally sighs, his tone and expression fond, giving into the whiny and ( not effective at all ) puppy eyes that his cousin was aiming at him. grabbing his plusle’s pokeball from his belt to get her to return so that he wouldn’t leave her behind on accident. the electric pokemon ever the playful type, was more than likely to try and hide and make it impossible for them to leave anywhere. 

     he grins at the other playfully and his eyes are bright. he can tell from the other’s lackluster reply that seungho doesn’t really believe himself that he’s not a stick, and he thinks the perception must be accentuated by the fact that his smaller, skinnier cousin had shot up and bulked up so much over the years. “yeah, yeah, hyung, you’re lean, i get it. but you’re still no match for me, nowadays!” he jokes and his brown eyes are twinkling with mischief. 

     “yay!” he cheers, and he always uses his puppy eyes on seungho despite them being ineffective on the older male, perhaps due to the exposure seungho has had to them. after all, they did practically grow up like brothers, and hyunjin thinks that he couldn’t have asked for a better one, really. as an only child, the arrival of seungho had been difficult at first, but as they had grown together, seungho became a brother figure that hyunjin learned to look up to. “i’d prefer not gotta eat ‘em all, ‘cause i work there and always get food there...” he muses, “but i don’t think pikachew is open yet? let’s just head to tajiri town and see what we feel like!”

vcsunjin‌:

     Living in a dorm room had brought on a whole new set of challenges for Sunjin. Adjusting to sharing a space with someone else hadn’t been the problem. In fact, he liked being able to have a conversation with someone whenever he felt talkative. Which was …. all the time, unfortunately for his roommate. No, the people were not the challenge; the Pokemon were a challenge. Not a bad one but, well, Sunjin had never lived with fire types … until he met his current roommate, Hyunjin. They’d only known each other for a week but it already felt like a lifetime.

     Already his day had been long and exhausting, full of various mishaps and mistakes brought on by non other than his own tiredness. Sunjin hadn’t slept well the night before for, well, various reasons beyond his control. He was tired and his feet were already dragging along the concrete.  Shiyu even had to extend her paw and tap his cheek every so often, making sure her human companion didn’t fall asleep standing up. The Ranger in training wanted nothing more than to collapse into bed for a few hours, but life had no intention of letting him off the hook early. An undisturbed nap ? Too easy.

     Unlocking the door and stepping inside, Sunjin didn’t notice anything at first. Aeris did, the Starly squawking at what chaos was about to unfold, but he hadn’t raised his head just yet; he was too busy fumbling with his shoes. “ I’m back ! “ He called out. And then he smelled it; something was burning. Oh no.

     he looks extremely panicked at the smoking plant and he’s trying to figure out what to do. char is panicking just as much as he is and hyunjin, afraid that the charmeleon will cause even more damage, recalls him to his pokeball before continuing to panic. it’s just his luck that his water bottle is empty -- fuck, he knew he should have refilled it this morning -- and there’s no other water source in sight. he hears the beeping of the door’s keypad, signalling his roommate’s return. 

     “oh fuck,” he calls out in return to the other’s ‘i’m back,’ aeris’ chirping having been audible since before either of them had ever spoken. “help, help please, sunjin-ah, char accidentally set the plant on fire and i’ve got no water--” his voice is higher than usual given his panic and he bites down on his lower lip, scared to move too much in case the plant spontaneously bursts into explosive flames. 

     man, he really can’t get a break, can he? his life has been peppered with ridiculousness since before the semester even started, and he’s exhausted.

she ignores the trainer who’s pokemon had injured her precious baby, focusing instead on making sure the burn heals correctly. despite the attention and care given to the baby pokemon though, he continues to cry and cry and jiwon feels her own eyes grow a bit heavy but she refuses to let any tears fall. cradling the baby in her arms and rocking him for a moment before her eyes finally snap up to the trainer. 

“bonsly will be fine–clumsy or not, you should keep a better eye on your pokemon! bonsly could have been seriously hurt!” she scolds, a bit harsher than she meant to but she also never likes hearing her baby cry, especially from an injury. she’s not a trainer who has her pokemon battle so when they get hurt it’s always so hard on her. but.. as her eyes drift to the little candle pokemon, she does feel bad for it as well as the little pokemon seems apologetic and sorry for having hurt bonsly. she knows she can’t stay mad at either of them–it’s just hard to think of that when she’s still trying to stop her bonsly from crying.

     he jerks back a bit at her tone, which is a bit harsher than he thinks she has a right to be. a frown overtakes his face and he feels obliged to defend his pokemon and his training style. “i was keeping a good eye on ignis, but if she trips, i can only do something after she’s tripped!” he points out with a little bit of annoyance in his tone, feeling rather attacked by this girl. “i can’t just leave her in her ball because she’s clumsy, that would only be cruel.” 

     he makes a displeased noise and he gestures at the apologetic litwick. “it was an accident, not done on purpose, and i know ignis isn’t strong enough to seriously hurt anyone or anything. i wouldn’t let her out around others if she were!” he’s annoyed by how much she’s intent on blaming him and ignis when they’d already both apologized and done all that was possible to try and make the situation better.

     being in his second semester but fairly outgoing, hyunjin has a decent number of friends. few of them are particularly close, but at the very least he’s got a good handful of people that he feels like he can talk to if he bumps into them in the hallways. there are, of course, some of his closer friends, like minsung, but those friends are few and far between.

     the person he sees in the hallway is someone he considers himself close enough to, seeing as how they work together at gotta eat ‘em all, and so his expression brightens when he sees the older male. he’s about to call out for the older when jiho makes eye contact with him, and to his utter surprise, turns on his heel and speeds away. 

     his expression is utterly bewildered and he speeds after jiho, very confused as he chases down the older male. “hyung? jiho hyung! why are you running away from me??”

people who know lee jiho at victoria college and are asked to describe him will say that he hides behind his glasses, he’s quiet, he’s blunt, he’s cold. but people who know him as jiho, the waiter at gotta eat ‘em all grill will tell you that he’s kind and nice to kids, he’s always willing to help, he’s easy to talk to. 

what’s funny is that they’re the same person. 

his coworkers don’t usually find him outside of the grill, considering that he usually holes himself up in his lab or at his dorm, so most people aren’t even really aware that he exists outside of work. which is exactly what he wants them to think, so he can be left alone during the time when he would want to be left alone. but, luck isn’t on his side today, apparently, when he turns the corner to head from the cafeteria and sees hyunjin down the hall. he stops in his tracks, makes eye contact, and immediately turns on his heel and speeds back the way he had just come.

⋆  A grin stretched across her lips, “of course! I’d be glad to help.” She quickly got to work, picking around her bag for the items she had mentioned prior. She wet the cotton pad with antiseptic and gave him a warning before dabbing the cotton onto his wounds. Blowing gently to ease the pain as she dabbed, she threw the cotton to the side and peeled opened a few bandages to stick onto his wound. 

“There.” she smiled again, “I don’t mind helping but, boy, do you need someone by your side 24/7 if this happens that often.” She was, of course, teasing him; she couldn’t help it. 

“Once again, it’d be my pleasure to help you. I wouldn’t want to be away from my pokemon for too long either if any of my buddies ran off like that.” She got up from her position, going to the nearest trash can to throw the garbage out. When she returned, she clapped her hands together and cheered, “shall we?”

     his expression is grateful as she takes care of his wounds quickly and efficiently, disguising his wince and sharp inhale as best as he can, the antiseptic stinging slightly and he blows out a soft breath. “thanks so much, uh...” he trails off as he realizes he doesn’t know her name. another occasion of kang hyunjin being a mess, he supposes. “uh, what’s your name, by the way? i’m hyunjin.”

     he groans in acknowledgment of her very valid point. “i know, my roommate-- uh, from last semester, used to say that all the time. he said being my roommate was a full-time job... actually, we came together but i seem to have lost him amidst the craziness with nala booking it away like that. 

     standing up easily, he stretches a little bit. he’s long used to hurting himself in little accidents and this time wasn’t particularly bad, so it’s not enough to really cause him discomfort in his walking or anything. “you have no idea, my pokemon are all way too hyper and clumsy. i can’t leave them alone for a minute!” he laughs as they start picking their way through the crowd.

the accident happens so fast that jiwon was unable to properly react. one moment shes having lunch on a picnic blanket with her precious pokemon and the next… chaos. she missed fire pokemon tripping, but bonslys shriek followed by his loud wailing cry, she did not miss. her head snapping away from where she was paying attention to roserade and landing on the baby pokemon which bared quiet a bad burn. 

“oh no! what have you done to my baby!” she says loudly, a glare being sent to the trainer who’s pokemon had burnt bonsly as she reaches over to pick up the baby pokemon. it’s cries never once letting up even as she settles it onto her lap and searches around her bag for medicine. getting out some burn heal as well as a colorful bandaid. “my poor baby… shhh shh, please don’t cry anymore.” she coos as she tends to the wound.  

     “i’m sorry!” he says insistently, tugging ignis back towards him. she doesn’t need to be let free to perhaps burn more pokemon, and while the litwick is clumsy, she’s never managed to do something like this before. “ignis is really clumsy and i feel bad if i force her to stay in her ball all the time. she’s never done something like this before!” his voice is frantic and he’s obviously very concerned for the poor little pokemon who had been ignis’ unfortunate victim. 

     “is your bonsly okay?” he asks and his expression is genuinely apologetic, ignis looking equally as apologetic next to him. the candle pokemon waves her stubby arms around as though saying sorry, speaking in its own language to the bonsly and he sighs. “i’d offer a burn heal, but i see you already have one...” he groans a bit. “damnit ignis, you have to be more careful!” he scolds his litwick, not harshly but sternly, and she hangs her head with a small pout.

     he probably should have learned after his first semester with minsung that his pokemon cannot be trusted indoors. actually, he probably should have learned that after the first few times they’d set things on fire at home, but there had always been other pokemon to help quench the little embers and his cousin’s buizel had always also been happy to practice its water moves. 

     still, hyunjin has always been rather oblivious when it comes to realizing things like this unless they’re pointed out to him. and even then, he can easily forget. which means that he really shouldn’t be surprised despite his penchant for forgetting, that his pokemon are flammable. and their ability to control their fire is dictated by their emotions.

     hyunjin should really learn to help his pokemon control their emotions better. in the middle of a game they’re playing, char gets overly excited, swinging his flaming tail around. before they know it, one of the plants is starting to smoke and a panicked shout of panic escapes hyunjin.

     “yes,” he responds easily, blinking at his former roommate curiously, wondering why the younger thought that just because they were friends now meant that he wasn’t going to continue to tease him. it’s probably more fun to tease the younger now that they weren’t roommates anymore, because that meant that he had no fear of hyunjin attacking him in his sleep or something. not that the other boy ever would, but the fear was always kinda there in his mind. 

     he rolls his eyes though, already having assumed that would be his friend’s answer to his teasing question. “because you’re a fire trainer, and therefore that means you’ll be an easy target,” minsung retorts, sticking his tongue out at the other before he quickly finishes up eating, standing up with his dishes shortly afterwards. “you even sprayed yourself earlier … clearly, you have no idea what to do around water,” he jokes, heading to the kitchen so he can wash his own bowl and utensils.

     “i’m so offended,” he sniffles dramatically and he shakes his head in mock despair. “i can’t believe that my best friend here would betray me like this!” he clutches at his chest but there’s a huge smile on his face, his eyes crinkling up at the corners. it’s obvious he doesn’t mind and even welcomes the teasing, enjoying the familiarity and warmth that comes with joking around with minsung. 

     “what hope do i have of surviving this festival if my own friend can’t be counted on not to betray me?” he asks the ceiling dramatically. “exploiting my weakness against water... surely, this must be illegal according to the bounds of friendship.” he’s purposely being very dramatic so that minsung will laugh. call him silly, but early on in their friendship he’d learned that minsung’s smile, when genuine, is heartwarming and infectious, and he rather likes seeing that expression on the other’s face instead of worry or concern. “i’m going to die and you’re just going to make it faster, i guess.” he sighs playfully and he grins at the other. “so, when do we leave?”

vcseungho‌:

seungho is not a small person by any means. his height has always been on the taller side, leaving him the ability to loom over others whenever he wants to. back in his younger years, he was on the lanky side. a twig, if you will. but as he got older and settled into his height he managed to fill it out a bit. leaving him…more like a stick than a twig. his muscle’s all lean from being a swimmer and more into cardio. and while he is by no means weak, that does not mean he is ever prepared for a stronger force to suddenly attach to him.

“ack—hyunjin ah..” he wobbles a little but otherwise he gets to hold his position without knocking them down. thinking of the time that he use to get taken right down. “what do you want?” he asks, trying to sound stern, but there’s a touch of amusement in his tone. his lips twitching as he holds back a smile, hand raising to bop the younger male on the nose before quickly wrapping both arms around hyunjin and attempting to man handle the younger into a headlock. “who allowed you to get this tall anyway.” 

     “i’m hungry, hyung,” he says mischievously and his eyes are bright with laughter, making a surprised noise as he’s bopped on the nose. he laughs as he’s wrestled into a headlock, obviously letting the slimmer male do so, putting up a mock fight but not enough to really dislodge seungho. it’d be no fun if he really tried, nowadays. over time, hyunjin, who used to be smaller and skinnier than seungho, had bulked up considerably and also shot up a significant amount. now, standing at 184 cm (the same height as his cousin) and considerably broader, seungho no longer stands a chance against him. 

     “ask mom and dad,” he replies and his eyes twinkle with laughter. “maybe one of the pokemon they took in blessed me with a magic spell. or maybe they didn’t like you so they cursed you to be a stick~” he grins widely and he blinks at the other with wide eyes. despite his considerable bulk and the muscles that don’t hide all that well under summer clothing, he still somehow manages to pull off puppy eyes. “come on, hyungie, i’m hungry!”

⋆   She couldn’t help but stare at him while he rambled off. She kind of stopped paying attention to his nonstop ramble and just nodded her head with her hands up to show that she didn’t mind. Areum let out a short chuckle, “I’m fine. You can check for yourself if you need to?” She spun herself around to show him her uninjured body. The only thing that hurt was her butt. Her hands were saved from scratches since she was wearing a pair of fingerless gloves. This kind of safety precaution came with years of experience (in falling way too many times). 

“Do you need bandaids or disinfectant spray?” she asked, pointing to the scratches. She has all the items they needed and wouldn’t mind taking care of this minor issue first. 

“Like I said,” Areum reminded him, “I’m really okay so you don’t have to apologize any longer.” She raised an eyebrow then furrowed it. She has never heard of the Nala he’s mentioned but she can tell this Nala was important to him, seeing as he’s frantically looking for her. 

“No, I haven’t seen this Nala you mention. Would you like to search for her together?” She offered with a small smile.

     “ah??” he makes a very puzzled noise at the preparedness of this stranger. “uh, i mean -- are you sure? it’s not a bother to you?” he asks in concern and he can’t believe that not only did he knock her down and potentially injure her, she’s now offering to patch up the scratches he got while doing so. speak of a triple inconvenience. goodness, kang hyunjin, could you be any more of a mess? the voice in his head asks and he sighs softly. 

     “if it’s really not too much trouble, that’d be nice... i’d appreciate it... i’m pretty clumsy, if you couldn’t tell, so i actually do this a lot...” he groans softly, having already resigned himself to the scrapes until someone could potentially help him. 

     “oh,” he utters in disbelief. “good god, i’m stupid,” he sighs gustily. “nala is my growlithe. she’s a naughty little thing, she ran off and i’ve been trying to find her before she decides that she wants to go swimming. you haven’t happened to see a growlithe running around like a puppy, have you?”

     a familiar figure means it’s time for his ambush to begin, and he stalks (as best as his bulky figure can) after the figure, leaping at the male with a growl. the tackle is solid and he knows that he’s bigger and bulkier than his cousin now, but it’s something they’ve been doing for years and seungho should expect this kind of thing nowadays. regardless, since he doesn’t want to break his cousin’s knees by actually leaping onto his back in a piggyback, which would surely bring seungho down and shatter his kneecaps. 

     “seungho hyung ~ hyungie,” he pouts at the older male with his best puppy eyes on his face. “hyungie, hi.” his lips curl up in a mischievous smile and he’s clinging to the other’s back with no qualms whatsoever, his eyes bright with amusement. there’s just something so fun about harassing seungho. the two of them are close, practically brothers, especially after the -- especially after seungho had come to live with them when hyunjin was seven, and they’ve been near inseparable since.

     the shriek is what draws his attention, rather than the question and he blinks at the younger male quietly, brown eyes wide. “if you’re going to be shrieking like that when you get splashed, not really,” he quips playfully, a smile appearing on his lips afterwards. hyunjin has always been so fun to tease, ever since their strange first meeting and they had gotten used to each other, they had become fast friends. and minsung enjoys teasing the other, occasionally. 

     “there’s supposed to be a barbecue on sunday right? are you going to go and eat all of their food?” minsung can’t help the second teasing comment that leaves his lips, eyes bright. he thinks of his own pokemon, and realizes that he probably couldn’t let any of them out of their pokeballs either for it. “what if i only splash you?”

     he gasps in mock offense and he shakes his head, pretending to be in disbelief. “excuse me, did you just call my manly shout shrieking?” he demands with playful affront. he doesn’t mind minsung’s teasing, he never has, and although it’s disappointing that they’re no longer roommates, he’s thankful that they’re at least still neighbors and on the same floor. 

     “is that really a question that needs asking?” he asks with a grin. “of course i’m going to eat all the food. it wouldn’t be me if not, mm?” his voice is so playful and there’s a sparkle in his eyes, lips curled up at the corners, obviously amused and happy. “i’m going to eat meat until i explode!” his face transforms into a mask of horror at the thought. “what! we’re supposed to be allies, how could you target me?!” he gasps dramatically before he breaks into giggles, unable to hold the straight face.

⋆   Before she knew it, Areum collapsed to the floor along with the blur that came crashing into her. It took a moment for her to regain herself and even then, she doesn’t have a complete grasp on what just happened. Olly, who had been flung from his trainer’s arms, landed on his feet perfectly and patted his stomach proudly before running back to Areum with a shout of worry. His paw placed itself on her forearm while voicing his concern. To this, Areum smiled reassuringly to the pokemon before searching for what had collided into her.

It took another moment before she realized it was not what, but who had slammed into her. A male, just as out of it as she was, had quickly recovered from his shock and was cussing and apologizing as well as asking about her well-being. Areum merely laughed at the situation at hand before replying, “I’m fine, really! Don’t worry. Are you alright yourself?”

She took a moment and then asked as kindly as she could, “Mind if I asked you: what you’re in the hurry for?" 

     he pushes himself back to his feet, trying to help her up into a standing position again, obviously flustered. “god, i’m so sorry, i really didn’t mean to--” he babbles, his cheeks flushing a shade of pink. he helps the stranger to her feet hesitantly, trying to make amends in any way possible, and he silently thanks arceus that the ground over here hadn’t been slippery wet with water, or the fall could have been worse. “you’re not hurt, are you?” he asks in concern, wincing as he brushes off his scraped hands and knees. 

     “mine are just scratches, they’ll be just fine -- what’s more important is that i didn’t hurt you, knocking you down like the clumsy idiot i am.” he sighs gustily, frowning slightly. at her question, his eyes widen and he nearly swears again, holding the curse back in the presence of a stranger. “uh, f... crap.” he groans. “nala, i was looking for nala... you wouldn’t happen to have seen her zoom by, would you?”

     leaning back from the sink as he washes the dishes, he arches an eyebrow at his friend, having just finished lunch. “hey, do you wanna go to the water festival?” he calls out. a screech interrupts the end of his question as he splashes himself with water, and he curses to himself under his breath. “nope, nope, no more turning my head when i’m washing the dishes...” he grumbles as he dries his hands, and he exits the communal kitchen to re-enter the dining area while dabbing at splashes of water on his shirt, a huff dying on his lips. 

     “i heard there’s going to be a lot of good food -- i mean, i can’t really bring any of my pokemon since they’re all fire and they’d probably die at the festival, but we can snag some water guns and splash random people?” he rambles as he looks up from dabbing at his shirt to blink at the older boy.

     “nala, come back--!” he cries out as his growlithe bolts away from him and towards the water festival. she has a penchant for things that are bad for her, and that includes water and wet things, both of which aren’t good for the fire puppy. but she has fun, so hyunjin can’t force himself to be all that angry... 

     but still, she shouldn’t be bolting her way through the middle of the water festival! there are too many people here, and not enough room, and surely, surely, his growlithe will get herself into a ton of trouble and he’ll have to take her back to the pokemon center once more. the nice associate professor at the pokemon center will certainly judge him intensely for that again, he thinks to himself with a sigh. 

     he screeches as nala books it away from him and he shouts out again, “NALA!” he barrels after her, barely dodging around several people and there’s one that he doesn’t quite manage to dodge properly, knocking solidly into the person and he cries out in surprise. “oh fuck -- shit -- oh crap -- i’m so sorry, sorry, are you okay?!”

⋆   “Are you sure you don’t want to come with us, Sid?” Areum asked her Eevee for the last time, his pokeball in her hand. She pursed her lips when he answered her positively with a nod. With a soft exhale and a small smile, she settled with the pokemon’s firm answer by returning him into his pokeball. She then clipped the minimized pokeball into the clasp of her necklace so that it dangles like a pendent. 

“I guess we should get going then. Olly, ready to go have fun?” 

Olly hopped from his position, waving his tiny nubs for hands wildly in excitement. The ranger-to-be chuckles at her Oshawott’s enthusiasm.

“Alright, alright. Let’s get going then,” and with that Areum picked Olly up into her arms as the two made their way towards the water festival. The reason why Sid decided to not physically join them was that the Eevee was not very fond of water. That definitely ruled out his Vaporeon evolution but that’s alright since it wasn’t what both Areum and Sid had wanted anyway. 

When the trainer and her pokemon arrived before the entrance to the festival, she heard a voice shout from a short distance away. She hummed questioningly at Olly before raising her head up only to catch a blur of color coming toward her direction.

     now, it’s a rather well-known fact that kang hyunjin can be a little bit on the clumsy side. unfortunately for him, ignis seemed to have inherited that knack from him. for that very reason, the little yelp doesn’t surprise him, turning back to see that his litwick had indeed sprawled onto the floor, her flame flickering wildly. the little candle is already in the process of hoisting herself to her feet when hyunjin notices that this incident has not been isolated. 

     a panicked cry escapes his lips as he realizes that ignis had managed to set another pokemon on fire -- what the fuck -- and more panic rushes through him because he has no pokemon that can put out a fire. luckily, the fire dies out before it can really get going. it does leave behind a nasty looking burn, and he winces, glancing up at the owner. “i’m so, so sorry, ignis is really clumsy, oh god -- is... is your pokemon alright?”
