Lex had smiled like that at Kilian at least a hundred times, if not more. It was always returned with similar vigor. Well, except this time. It seemed forced, almost. And that was Lex’s first clue that something wasn’t quite right.

The silence that followed was quite telling. As Lex continued to eat, her gaze rarely left him. She could see his mind racing behind his aqua eyes. Something was bothering him, so it bothered her for no other reason than she hated to see him upset. The momentary lapse of paranoia she had a bit ago faded. If it was something that she needed to know about, he’d tell her. Afterall, they had agreed: No more secrets.

Nearly done with her food when he finally spoke up, she paused to listen. Lex looked around at her small studio with a hint of a smile. She knew this was coming. Not only did Killian hate Slateport, but this whole minimalist, always-on-the-run thing wasn’t quite either of their style. Lex only lived like this out of necessity, not by choice. With Killian back, she was reminded what it was like to live a . . . somewhat ‘normal’ life by their standards.

“I’m listening,” she grinned, turning her gaze that had followed his to the small box back to him. She noticed, but chose to ignore, the vibrating from the kitchen, “May or may not, huh?” she laughed lightly shaking her head. She’d bet money he already had a place picked out.

There it was again. This time her brow pinched quickly as her eyes flashed towards the kitchen then back to him. This was starting to get ridiculous.

“I can find a new one,” she responded quite eagerly. It wasn’t Ritual keeping her here. Hell, she just kind of landed in Slateport and it stuck. The only thing she was looking to hang on to was Killian. She’d follow him anywhere, “Hot Springs?” there was a cheerful note to her echo, his coy smile was adorable and it only fueled her excitement, “ . . . Lavaridge?” She was almost certain that was answer, and she wasn’t surprised. It was probably the most landlocked place in all of Hoenn.

The excitement faded into irritation. Her brows pinched again, amber eyes glaring at the kitchen this time as the phone continued to buzz. Her frustration swelled with Killian’s. Eyes cut to him again after his whisper. She tried her best to smooth out the sharpness of her glare by reaching for the wine to take a sizeable sip of it.

As always, it was Killian that softened her. The sincerity in his words made her forget about the stupid phone. He seemed distraught. Lex slid her hand across the table and her fingers wiggled their way in between his, “It’s ok, Killian,” her fingers gently traced his, “If you need to answer it, just answer it,” Then maybe she would actually get him all to herself.

[attr="class","killianpost"]She was right; of course, Lavaridge was where he'd chosen to move them. Next to a volcano was as far away from the ocean as you could get in Hoenn. Precisely where Killian preferred to be. It wasn't that he was afraid of the water. He could handle it just fine if needed. It was the ocean's smell that bothered him. Something about its stench had always gotten under his skin.

"You guessed it."

He was glad Lex seemed opened to a change of local. Not that he bothered to show it. Killian's usual smile and flirtatious remarks were absent. A direct result of the continued buzzing of his phone. It grated on his mind. Like nails on a chalkboard, each time it vibrated, Killian tensed.

All he wanted was one day. A single day where their past wasn't casting a shadow over them. Lingering, stalking, waiting like a monster under the bed to torment them. Was that too much to ask?

One might think the easy answer was to silence the phone. It couldn't make any noise if Killian set it to silent after all. The thought had crossed his mind, but it was too late for that now. And besides, Hijack didn't take too kindly to being told to shut up.

The phone calls were starting to affect Lex. Killian could see frustration inside her eyes. It was quick to fade, his apology soothing the embers before they could burn. Her touch had a similar effect on him. The gentle caress of her fingers as they sketched his own brought a smile to his face. It reminded Killian to breathe.

"It's not okay." and he couldn't tell her why. Letting Kaito ruin their evening would give him more power than he deserved. Of which he merited none. "But it will be." Killian smiled and stood from his chair. If answering the phone wasn't an option, and neither was silencing it. There was only one thing to do.

"We're leaving." he didn't care if she hadn't finished her food either. The only thing that mattered was getting out of the apartment as quickly as possible. Killian didn't give Lex a choice to stay either. He pulled her up from the table and practically pushed her out the door. Stopping only long enough for her to slip some shoes on and grab her Pokeballs.

He made sure to leave his phone behind.

---

Their destination was Lavaridge, and it didn't take long to get there. Pokemon transportation made travel easy, after all. They arrived outside the town limits. The heat drifting down from Mt.Chimney was a nice change of pace.

"You're going to love the house." Killian assured Lex, taking her hand into his own. Without his phone vibrating to remind him of Kaito. Killian had managed to relax a bit more. They were still some lingering thoughts, but those were easy to ignore. He focused on the excitement of showing Lex their new home.

The house sat at the end of a winding path. Surrounded by crimson leafed trees and overlooked by the mountains of Jagged Path. Two and a half stories tall, with a glass greenhouse and stone garage. The house was immaculate, one of the best homes Lavaridge had to offer.

Even with his business, it would have been outside of Killian's price range. Fortunately, Killian knew ways to get around hiccups like that. Grease the right palms, apply a little pressure to the right person, and you'd be amazed how quickly people forget the value of something.

"So, what do you think?"

“Wait. Now?” she questioned as he stood up from his chair with enthusiasm. Killian was eager for her to get a move on. In true Lex fashion, she downed the last of her wine in one gulp before quickly shoving her feet in some shoes and grabbing her leather jacket before Killian managed to force her out of the apartment. Whatever it was better be real good for him to rush her like that without an explanation.

It didn’t take long for Lex to confirm that they were heading for Lavaridge. The city disappeared behind them as they moved inland towards some of the more rural parts of Hoenn. The foothills rose into mountains and the damp sea air was replaced with dry heat.

It was so different from what she was used to. It was quiet, clean, and so suburban. Lex immediately felt like she didn’t belong. Although Killian had mentioned a house earlier, it didn’t really register with her that he meant an actual house. As they walked hand in hand, Lex looked around and all she saw was houses. Like real, quite large, family homes. Her eyes narrowed at him in a playful suspicion.

That was about the time Killian stopped them in front of a particularly beautiful home set atop a ridge with a spectacular view. Lex was honestly a bit stunned when he asked what she thought. Was that really it? “That’s ours?” she asked quietly, pointing to it with a look of disbelief, “That whole thing?” it was huge! Well, huge by Lex’s standards.

Lex stepped forward, still keeping her hand in his, “It-It’s incredible,” it was a little louder than a whisper. She looked back at him with grin, “Can we . . . go inside?”

[attr="class","killianpost"]"You think I'd only buy half of it?" he playfully nudged her shoulder. He'd only half expected Lex to be so shocked. It was comforting to know that despite the years they'd spent together. He could still leave her stunned. "I'm glad you like it." Killian matched her grin and gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

These were the moments he enjoyed the most. Killian's life was busy and so filled with noise that he couldn't shut out. It could all be a little overwhelming sometimes. So when the quiet moments with Lex came, he cherished them.

Killian chuckled, "Of course we can." he nodded to the steps a few feet ahead. "It's our house after all." his grin widened as he spoke. The way the words rolled off his tongue filled his chest with warmth. He and Lex had never actually lived together in Johto. At least not like this. She'd had her mother to worry about back then.

"Our house." Killian repeated, "I like the way that sounds." he flashed her one last joyful smile before leading her up the stairs. There was a surprising amount of foliage outside of the home. Flowers and plants native to the Lavaridge area. They shared the same autumn red as the leaves on the trees. The color reminded him of Lex and was another reason he'd chosen the home.

Freeing his hand from hers as they approached the front door. Killian pulled the box Lex had gotten earlier from his pocket. He slid the top of the wooden case off. Inside, nestled on top of a black cushion, were two keys. Killian handed one to Lex, "Your key." he smiled. He took the other and used it to unlock the door. Putting the now empty box back into his pocket, Killian stepped inside.

The first thing Lex might notice when stepping inside was the furniture. Everything thing they'd need for a living room was already there. Killian hadn't bought any of it either. The previous owner had been 'persuaded' to leave their belongings behind.

Killian cleared his throat, ready to have a bit of fun as he showed her around. "As you can see, Ms.Brairwood, the home comes already furnished." he gestured to the living room with a sweep of his arm.

"If you see anything you don't like, please let me know. My people and I can find you something more suitable to replace it." Killian looked to Lex with a playful smile.

Lex still couldn’t believe it. She wasn’t surprised Killian made the move to get them out of Slateport but a whole house was something she wasn’t expecting. When he mentioned he had a place in mind, she assumed he meant something a bit larger than her place now. Like a one-bedroom apartment in a nice area with a view. But a house? A house seemed so . . . permanent. Was that something they could afford to do right now? Stay in one place?

Those were the kind of thoughts Lex immediately pushed away. She refused to let them have power over her, not tonight. She and Killian deserved at least one night of uninterrupted happiness together.

Her eyes playfully rolled when he joked about only buying half the house. He knew what she meant. The excitement was plain as day on her face through bright amber eyes and a wide smile that didn’t seem to waver, “Our house,” she echoed after him, trying it for herself, “It sounds perfect,” she mused as she followed him to the stairs that led to the front door.

Lex grinned at the sight of the box and shook her head as he opened it, “I can’t believe this is what I ran across Slateport with,” there was a soft laugh. Thank Arceus she hung on to the damn thing. Killian used his key to open the house, so Lex tucked hers away safely into her pocket.

The inside was just as beautiful as the exterior. Hard woods floors, tall windows, and a stunning view just outside the living room. Lex’s jaw hung open in wonder as she looked around the house, “Killian, this is amazing,” she looked back towards him as he cleared his throat. She played along with his presentation. Her brow peeked as she spun around to take a good look at the living room. She was thrilled it was furnished. She had zero interest in decorating, “Well, Mr. Decker, it all seems perfect,” she smirked looking back at him, the lustful glimmer back in her amber eyes, “You know the best part about a house?” her head tilted slightly. She’d wait a beat for an answer, but ultimately her lips would twitch into a devilish grin, “No neighbors,” he’d know what she meant. With no shared walls and no one to bother, they really had nothing to worry about.

[attr="class","killianpost2"]Our house.

Killian couldn't have smiled harder if he tried. Hearing it in Lex's voice just made it that much sweeter. He chuckled as she laughed, "It's a good thing you didn't look." he replied, handing her the key.

Once they were inside, it didn't take long for Lex to join Killian in his acting. "Mr.Decker," she'd said, sending his heart racing. His smile turned to a grin, "Happy to hear you're pleased." he cooed.

His eyebrows raised at her question. Killian could think of several things that made the house the best - most of them practical. The look in Lex's eyes said she meant something more salacious, however. Not that it mattered. She didn't wait very long before answering herself.

"True. We can get into a lot of trouble with no one around." Killian inched closer to wrap his arms around her. Resting one hand on the small of Lex's back, the other caressed her cheek.

They'd put something on hold before dinner, hadn't they?

Killian licked his lips before placing them against Lex's neck. Gently, he kissed and nibbled, teasing her with pleasure. Killian broke a few moments later to look into her eyes.

"How about I show you the bedroom next?" he whispered.
