”The sword legendaries?”
[break][break]
Funnily enough, the thought takes him back to that one conversation he had with MATIAS SILPH back when looking for Unown at Mt. Pyre, and how he had mentioned maybe some legendary may be looking over Mars as well. Funny how Matias out of all people would predict that, huh?
[break][break]
”Yeah, I guess… This one was much cuter than those, though. Even if creepy as fuck.”
[break][break]
Sorry, Virizion, you’re still really cute.
[break][break]
There’s a faint smirk with these words, but it’s a sigh that follows.
[break][break]
”It was… small? White and blue. Had this red gem on its forehead… I would have gotten a better look but I couldn’t even move while it was there, so from that and the telepathy, I’m betting it’s some pretty strong Psychic type.”
[break][break]
Strong enough to convey actual words through telepathy instead of just vague feelings and ideas like most pokémon capable of it do, at least. Still creepy and weird.

"there's probably some story about it out there somewhere."

he thinks back to the stories he's heard growing up, to the mythical tales his mom used to tell him. he can't seem to remember anything that fit that description.

still, he offers an observation.

It’s not like Mars expected Cian to give him any answers regarding the pokémon’s identity, but being reminded of just how much of a mystery it is bothers him to no end. He has always hated not knowing things, and just thinking about how many questions he has about all this is exhausting.
[break][break]
Another sigh, and he once again leans against Cian, considering his words.
[break][break]
”A trio? Yeah, maybe… Most legendaries come in trios or duos, right? At least the ones from Sinnoh do… I really liked reading about them when I was a kid.”
[break][break]
If only Mars had looked at illustrations instead of just the long and tedious research books at his family’s library, but sadly, stories made for kids were rather lacking in that fucked up childhood of his.
[break][break]
”...Wonder why it came to me of all people, though.”
[break][break]
Even in all of his narcissism, this is a question that inevitably comes, even if it’s one he would only admit to when talking to Cian.
[break][break]
There must be an specific reason.

"why did any of the legendaries come to those avatars?"

he shrugs.

"becaues they're worthy? because they want something? dunno."

after a sigh, he turns to look at mars.

"just...be careful."

Avatars.
[break][break]
Not too long ago, Mars had been asked if he would want that kind of power and what he would want it for. Back then, the answer had been all too clear to him, and even now it still is. But, this has nothing to do with that, does it? It sounds more like…
[break][break]
”Yeah, it probably wants something… Hate the thought of some pokémon trying to use me for its plans, though. Ugh.”
[break][break]
And what the hell are those plans, anyway?
[break][break]
It’s not like he has a choice but to get involved, he could never ignore this.
[break][break]
He sighs as well, meeting Cian’s gaze as he gently squeezes his hand.
[break][break]
”I know… I will. I just figured I should tell you about all that.”
[break][break]
Is it simply because he wants to share every aspect of his life with Cian, or is it because he’s worried about what might happen in the future?
[break][break]
"Thanks for listening... And for being here."
[break][break]
A gentle smile.

the thoguht of being used by something beyond his understanding scares him, even if it's not that far off from what his relationship is with rocket.

the gentle smile is returned.

"of course."

and then, he pouts, only slightly.

In a way, telling Cian about it feels like a weight off his shoulders, even if there’s a certain guilt in knowing that he may have just given him a reason to worry about him. Wouldn’t it be worse to keep it to himself, though? The last thing Mars wants is for secrets to keep existing between them..
[break][break]
The pout distracts him from these thoughts, and he can’t help but chuckle at how adorable it is, as well as at the worries expressed in Cian’s words.
[break][break]
So he is concerned after all.
[break][break]
”Cian…”
[break][break]
The gentle smile remains, and a hand reaches for Cian’s cheek, Mars leaning in to rest his forehead against his.
[break][break]
”You mean the world to me, this doesn’t change that. Nothing will.”
[break][break]
His words are honest, and once again, in them those feeling that either of them is yet to speak of are clearly expressed: love.

love.

"it better not."

and just like that, the pout fades, shaping into a smile instead.

"you mean the world to me, too."

after a kiss, he pulls away, though stays close as he peers into mars' eyes.

"must be killing you to not know what this thing is, huh?"

’You mean the world to me.’
[break][break]
Words that Mars means from the bottom of his heart, and words that, when returned, are just as meaningful to him. It’s easy to believe them, to know that he matters to Cian, even if sometimes there are doubts and things they aren’t in total agreement about.
[break][break]
”Good.”
[break][break]
With a smile, the kiss is returned, and when Cian pulls away, Mars can’t help but sigh heavily.
[break][break]
”Fuck. Of course it is, you know how much stuff like that bothers me… I keep trying to figure it out and come out of it empty handed, it’s frustrating as hell.”
[break][break]
He chuckles, although this time it's in a tired way.
[break][break]
All of that pokémon stuff is frustrating... and tiresome, and annoying, and concerning.
[break][break]
”I have barely even been able to sleep ‘cause I keep thinking about it.”
[break][break]
Then again, not like Mars sleeps much in general to begin with.

"i can imagine."

knowing mars, and know how much work he's likely already put into finding out more about this legendary, to come up with nothing must be extremely frustrating for him.

and to hear that he hasn't been sleeping much because of it as well?

dreadful.

"well...is there anything i can do to help?"

Can Cian do anything to help?
[break][break]
While there are many things he could say, some fun and some not as much, the honest answer is obvious to Mars, so he simply leans in and gently kisses Cian’s cheek.
[break][break]
”Just being here helps a lot already.”
[break][break]
Since being with Cian is always relaxing, and nice, and it makes him feel comfortable, and safe...
[break][break]
”But… Now that you know, you’re also welcome to tell me to stop stressing over it and get some rest the next time I start thinking too much about all this.”
[break][break]
A grin.
[break][break]
Since, honestly, Cian is probably the only person to whom Mars would listen when saying something like this.

just being here.

"i'm glad."

if only he could be here more, but even now, as they wait for their food, he knows their time together on this day is limited.

he sighs, looking at mars as he mirrors his grin.

"mars...stop stressing over it and get some rest."

If only they could spend every moment together. If only he didn’t have to leave and go to work. If only there weren’t responsibilities. If only his life were exactly what he wants it to be…
[break][break]
But, even if there’s part of it he doesn’t like, it’s still pretty damn great, especially at moments like these.
[break][break]
Plus, isn’t working towards making things better exactly why he’s putting so much effort, anyway?
[break][break]
’Stop stressing over it and get some rest.’
[break][break]
He can’t help but chuckle, not once looking away from Cian.
[break][break]
”Okay, babe. Anything you want.”
[break][break]
He’s not wrong, after all.
