-Lunette

Included: Gil and Hoom

“Lun is that you?” Apparently he was my Glaceon and he didn’t care if I called him like that, besides he too called me Lun and offered his hand to help me stand up.

“Oh Dear it has been a long time!” I was truly happy to have found him in that spontaneous way, I hoped he wasn’t scared by the hug and my random behavior

“Yes, indeed…I’m so glad that I had this surprise today…Lun, I know you adore rain but would you like for us to talk in a maybe, dry, place?” So he still knew about it.

“It would be my pleasure, but only if you are not busy with anything; I don’t want to interrupt you…” I almost forgot asking him that; I mean what if he was busy and was being nice in order to get rid of me faster? I couldn’t blame him because of that, maybe we could have a conversation later…

“No, you are not interrupting anything, I have plenty of time.”
Fine…I was so happy he actually said that, so I simply followed him as we entered a café and sat down in a little table.

“How have you been these years Lun?” And there I thought it was going to be easier to answer him, how could I possibly tell him “Well after you left, Reylan got angry and then raped me…then the next day Badrak-nii disappeared and yes, life has been fun!”

“Life has been…Interesting Darling, well what you can call interesting in the little town. Then did you continue travelling?” My nervous laughing was not helping in my purpose of changing subject; I was aware that if he continued asking then my only option was to tell him….

“Yes, I did, but now I am…was… staying in a mansion full of gijinkas” Good! My objective was complete, but as soon as he mentioned mansion then, well what other mansion with gijinkas could possibly exist if it wasn’t the one he was staying on right? However his doubtful tone of voice made me wonder.

“Was? Are you leaving that place?” If he was then it was a shame…maybe more than a shame, I felt so sad at the moment, not knowing exactly why…

“It’s a difficult matter right now…Umm how did things went with that guy?” Now he was using the same technique about changing subject and why that subject? Why that specific matter?

“How to put it…I…things are doing fine I think…” As if appearing from a brighter place, a Houndoom gijinka appeared outside the café; her face revealed anguish and sadness and also the fact she was looking at Gil, well then she needed to talk with him. “…Darling, do you perhaps know a Houndoom gijinka? Because it seems she needs to talk with you…urgently.” I was glad to be able to change subject but not really glad to see the state of the girl that was entering.

“Am I interrupting something?” She said with that familiar voice of someone who was about to cry.

“This is Lunette, she is an old friend of mine and I had the privilege to found her today…What is the matter? Are you feeling better?”

“Nice to meet you Lunette…My name is Hoom…”

“Nice to meet you…” I managed to say before she focused her attention on Gil

“Are you truly leaving the mansion Gil?” At the sound of that question, Gil’s expression changed, meaning with that he truly cared about Hoom.

“Lun dear would you excuse us for a moment?” I nodded and watched silently the scene outside; Hoom cried, Gil comforted her then talked to her and she left hugging him too; yes it looked short but the conversation took some time that I only noticed when a waitress came to take our order.

“I would like a “Cinnamon and apple” tea please…and for my company, please bring lemonade”

The girl had a perfect timing since she arrived just when they finished the conversation. Gil sat down and sighed.

“Is everything fine?”

“I hope everything goes fine…Oh! I see you still remember I like lemonade, and if I’m not wrong then you are probably tasting a new tea?”

“Indeed, it smells amazingly!”

“You haven’t changed at all” He gave me a smile that I found perfect.

“You think so? Either way I wanted to ask you something; is Hoom perhaps your girlfriend?” Gil gave me a strange expression but answer quickly

“NO, Hoom is not my girlfriend, she is my best friend…right now she is having some troubles with her boyfriend, that’s all…”

“Forgive me if I ask this but, most o the times don’t best friends end being a couple? I’ve heard a lot of cases like that…” Why was I putting on the table that type of subject? Maybe because I wanted to prevent him? Or maybe because he was still single? Of course not he couldn’t be single right?

“C’mon Lun, you should now I’m not that type of person and I won’t get involved in more than a friendship with another guy’s girl.”

“I’m truly sorry, that wasn’t my intention, of course I know you are not that type of man….So are you single?” Lunette, you know what he is going to answer and still you are a moron and ask this? His smirk told me what I already knew

“What, are you interested if I am?” I must say he was now a cheerful guy in comparison from when we met “Yes I am single” that part surprised me.

“I can’t believe why such a handsome and sweet guy like you is still single” a slight blush was on my face for being that impulsive and making that comment. At least he simply laughed.

“Thanks for the comment Lun; but I must ask the same; I guess your still dating that guy if you said you were doing fine right?”

“For your surprise I said that because we managed to…to maintain a good relationship after breaking with each other…” a fake smile trying to hide the lie and for a moment I thought I had won, but not with him, since that time he had been able to lecture me so easily.

“it surprises me that you haven’t been dating anyone” He simply said while I shrugged and gave him a look asking for the same.

“I’m a complicated guy when it comes to relationships”

“Oh really? Then I must be lucky for what happened last time am I right?” I said smiling; my glaceon looked away smiling, but you could also feel him a little uncomfortable so changing the subject again was a perfect solution “It’s a shame you are leaving the mansion Darling…I was planning to stay since Badrak-nii told me I could meet interesting people around there.”

“Badrak-nii? Then I assume is the same Kadabra I met and that you two are surprisingly close to each other” That’s when I remembered I wasn’t very clever and told Badrak not to tell me about the people in the mansion; things would be so much easier but that encounter wasn’t bad either…I nodded as he continued.

“Yes, it’s a shame that just when we met again I’m leaving, but I need to get back to pick some of my things so I can take you there and I will probably be staying a day or two before, so if you truly are staying we can share some time together, if its fine with you”

“Of course it is fine with me, it would be just like the last time you were in my village remember?” Here is the story, when we were younger, the town started a festival and invited other villages and clans in order for them to know us better; at that time I was already working at Gagnesh’s place along with my sister and we were told to look over the place at the festival. I was feeling pretty bored because I had to stay the entire time there and couldn’t be with anyone; however a certain Glaceon stopped at our place and since our eyes crossed, we were curious about the other. Delilah noticed that too and so she gave me permission to stay with him and show him the village since he was new. In short, we spend the entire festival in company of each other and at the end, how to put it, we were being very attracted towards the other one; sadly, nothing serious happened between each other and Gil left soon after….

“Lun?”

“Pardon moi?”

“I was telling you that I’ve been curious about something I wanted to do that time but didn’t do….”

“And what is it Darling?” His question was strange and also surprised me, but curiosity was also there so, why not giving him a chance? Suddenly Gil grabbed my chin and kissed me…Kissed me!

“Why did you do that Gil???!!!!!” without knowing it I was already standing up and looking at him while he got sitting straight again; my face was probably blushing and I was feeling mixed emotions. For one side, since Reylan’s incident, almost every male scared me and if he got too close it was even worse; however at the same time, I wasn’t sure why Gil wasn’t giving me that feeling, it was like when I was with Badrak…Fine not entirely the same since the truth is that I had enjoyed that kiss a lot and now that he put the subject…well I too wondered..

“I was just curious about it since the last time we almost kissed…remember? Sorry Lun…” Exactly! That was the sad part; the night before he left, Gil and I almost kissed but, someone interrupted us and after that…nothing. Now I was trying to process everything in the fastest way I could as Gil looked to the roof.

It was the first time in a very long time that a male, apart from Badrak, didn’t make me feel scared or uncomfortable; the reason was that maybe I knew Gil from before but still how was I so sure that he wasn’t faking and the reality was he was one of those bastards like Reylan was? The fresh scent that I loved too much wrapped me and that’s when everything became clear.

Then, was I going to regret what I was about to do?....Probably not.

I grabbed Gil’s face between my hands and kissed him too; again, it felt wonderful and as it continued things became to get clearer and clearer.

“Lun? What was that huh??....I thought you were not going to…”

“I finally understood you…are not going to hurt me….Besides I too wondered what would had happened then…”

“I don’t want to imagine what would happen if your new boyfriend see us??...I don’t want to have more problems with jealous guys from the one I already have” he let a deep sigh as I chuckled and smiled at him.

“I don’t recall saying I was dating someone….and I think I understand about the problem you are having now, if I’m not wrong it is with Hoom’s boyfriend right? I wonder if he is somehow similar to Reylan…” I should have silenced my mouth at the last words but it was to late now.

“What do you mean by that Lun? ” I looked away unsure of how to continue without making him feel bad. “ummm at the time you passed through our village, Reylan and I weren’t officially dating; however he already considered me, his possession.” My hands began trembling again and Gil looked at me confused “…When you left he, he didn’t say anything and we continued normally until we were an official couple but….”

“But?”

“But few days after you left, he pretty much insulted me because he saw us together”

“We were not doing anything…”

“His jealousy was blocking his mind Gil… he spread his anger on me that night…”

“Did he punch you?” I wanted to stop there, I had only told that story three times counting the current one and it was always the same. I gave Gil a negative answer with my head but my hands were in fists on my lap trying to be my base of strength, he noticed that.

“Don’t tell me he…Then if I had stayed …..” The atmosphere around us became colder and colder as Gil grabbed his glass and broke it in little pieces, blood coming from his hand “DAMN IT!” He turned his eyes to me and they were hurt…and angry; exactly what I didn’t want to happen.

“Gil….it, it wasn’t your fault and, I couldn’t arrive telling you that…you do realize so right?” His cold eyes kept staring at me for some seconds then he lowered his head along with his ears…Automatically I stood up again and noticed the few humans around us were practically terrified thinking an attack was soon to come; they were wrong of course. I placed myself behind Gil and embraced him.

“Aqua ring….” Water began to cure his previous wounds and also the one on his hand; his head was still looking down so I placed mine on top of his “Forgive me…my intention wasn’t for you to feel like this, but I too didn’t want to lie to you” He was beginning to relax so I stopped the attack there.

“Darling…what would had happened if you had stayed? I’m curious…” His ears twitched and he finally turned to me with his lively eyes and a smirk on his face.

“And your point is Dear?” I began talking without realizing what I was truly saying, however it had sense some time later.

“My point is, that I wonder what type of couple we could had been”

“Lun are you trying to tell me something?” Suddenly his face was pretty close to mine, but I did the same because I was pretty sure he knew already what I wanted to say: I’ve felt in love with you since I met you. My heart began beating extremely hard and my face was blushing again, but how was I supposed to stop that if the correct way of doing things was the contrary?

“You are really making this longer than expected…I met you a long time ago and since those days…I really wanted to ask you something. Now that we met again, I’m sure I still need to know you better but your essence is still the same and for that reason I don’t have anything to fear if I’m with you. That said Gil…would you…. Would you like for us to be…..a couple?”

I had said it but if I could possibly dive at that moment I wouldn’t doubt twice in doing it; right now he was probably thinking I was one of those needy girls; who wouldn’t think so? We haven’t seen each other for what…two years? And now that we met the first thing I said is that I want him to be my boyfriend? I was truly crazy for asking that, even more knowing that those two years I had been avoiding any men contact. But…at the same time, those two years without me realizing it up until that very moment, I had been thinking that he was probably the perfect type for me, I had been missing him.

“You really are an unpredictable woman right?” He was surprised but still gave me a warm smile as he softly touched my face “And…Yes” His face turned down and to one side again as my eyes noticed him blush. “…I like the idea Dear…” Wait! He did accept my proposal?! Then either we were both crazy or we truly felt the same for each other; of course the second option sounded better.

“You make me be unpredictable…I think it is the first time that I’m the one who asks this…But I’m truly happy, I know you are not going to throw me away.”I smiled as I returned to my seat in front of him.

“There is a first time for everything right?” He busted out laughing reminding me how embarrassed I felt

“You little narcissist!” He laughed even harder

“You’ve really brighten my day Lun, I’m also happy, really! You know that’s not usual on me.”

“I’m aware darling. I don’t know who to thank for making you even more cheerful; it really suits you”

“Then you must thank the little Houndoom from before and the ones at the mansion; they all have been responsible for that.”

“Excuse me, I don’t want to interrupt you but, we are about to close…” The waitress said a little embarrassed.

“It’s fine, we were leaving right?” Gil said paying for everything and offering his hand again. “thank you for everything and, we are sorry for the glass…”

With that said, we left the café; it wasn’t raining anymore but the atmosphere felt cold and nice; I let a deep breathe enjoying the scent of wet soil.

“Are you tired?”

“Not at all, why do you ask?”

“Would you mind If I escorted you to the mansion?” He grabbed my hand and kissed it softly

“I don’t have any problem at all.”

The trajectory was somehow long but we had finally arrived to the lovely and huge place called “The mansion” I walked to the door, about to enter but he stopped.

“What is the matter?”

“I…I want to be alone for a while; too many things happened in a day, believe me.”

“I understand…”

“Don’t worry Babe, they are good people and I’m sure they’ll love you”

He kissed me once again and we parted ways.
