tag notes | A smile suits Ash, and he just hopes Kep feels better. It's taking a lot to do that much, but when Kep asks him if he wants to talk about it, he drops it a moment, because when Kep rolls over and has chocolate, Ashley cries a little more with a big smile. Liquid diets sucked, but when Kep offers real food, it changes everything. He loves his boyfriend. Fuck does he loves him.
"Once we're done, yeah. Might wanna get something for Isaac too. I wanna catch you up first though, babe." He'll still have the chocolate, as he gestures for the Ralts to hop up and sit with them.
Then came the dreaded moment. Ashley takes in a deep breath, and looks at the ceiling of the hospital. No backing out. Face it out.
"We got ready in Mt. Pyre. It was the four of us. Cillian Quinn , Tempest Quinn , Isaac Merlo , and myself. We were in position, readying ourselves, when things start going wrong. I get separated from Isaac, Gavin runs to Tempest's aid, and then I find myself watching our flank. Some douche canoe and I fought. Pluto-" He stops himself. He closes his eyes, the memory on his mind. "-Pluto and I took a really nasty Solar Beam each. My right arm might have nerve damage. Thankfully, it was just my arm."
The story isn't over though. The most harrowing parts are to come.
"I finally find Isaac fighting two fronts. One against that reporter, PENELOPE LIVY , and some jerkass named Layton Cassidy (paxton concordas ) hiding with a sniper. I did my best to help Isaac... Bullet, Pluto, and Kiryu didn't make it." His lip trembles upon saying it. It meant it was true. They were gone now. "Somehow, I was able to get the upper hand on them with Isaac. But Isaac and I got separated, and after a hostage situation, we won... then, I found another League guy (ollie morales ) who found me in a really bad state of mind. I tried killing him." His hold on Kep tightens.
"He got away."
But now the worst of it. "Isaac found me in that state of mind. Guy tried his best, but I was... gone. I blamed myself. Kiryu, Bullet, Pluto? All of them died because of me. That's what I kept telling myself. I tried to burn my friendship with him, because I figured if I did, I could-" He stops. Silver eyes are matted with tears, he looks to Kep. "... Isaac and I fought each other. Bongo was there, he evolves and he breaks my arm, and I took Isaac's eye. I got off a little too easy. I was okay."
Then the finale.
"Following that, some jerk named Father Winter decides to try and bring Palkia through a portal. Lot of people died, came back, and I-" He stops. The tears are flowing harder now, as he trembles through his next words. "I saw the Raichu Theo made me kill when I was younger. Jubilee. I got to see her again." Kep could hear the tone shift, surely, the level of childish need from Ashley as he refers lovingly towards the Raichu. His face was matted in tears, his silver eyes glossy. "I got to see Sushi, Bullet, Pluto. One last time. They gave me the strength to press on and fight that jerk and... well. Palkia is here in Hoenn now."
Ashley finishes. "We're safe from the meteor thanks to you, Isaac and I try to go get sandwiches before the hospital, pass out before we pay, and now we're here. That about covers it, I think."
He awaits Kepler's response, lovingly moving to eat one of the chocolates if offered. He looks so happy the moment it hits his tongue. "What the fuck even is our lives, right?" He's trying to laugh it off through every cascading tear.
