jayden considered himself a professional person. first and foremost, he always put rocket first. it was how he was raised and how he was taught to behave. he had never thought to consider anything else. meeting Chu-e Choi was the first time in his life that he had even though about changing his mind.

[break][break] and then his heart had shattered, and the broken pieces had left room for even sharper pieces to fill in.

[break][break] but when they were released from littleroot's combat, the first person he had looked for had not been a medic. it had not even been to submit his official report. it was to look for one person, one specific set of teal-colored eyes, that were absent.

[break][break] he tried not to freak out. he didn't freak out.

[break][break] he was totally. not freaking out.

[break][break] ripping away from the medic as long as they would allow him, he immediately teleported with PHANTOM FORCE to a house in the middle of sootopolis' housing district. to knock on one door, his bandaged knuckles wrapping against the door.

[break][break] cold breath puffs out in small clouds in front of him as he waits for them to answer.

[break][break] they have to answer.

In the aftermath of Mt. Pyre, Fern had skipped the medical services offered to any Rockets seeking it. In a panicked moment, he’d shuttled Marza Volchitsa through a PHANTOM FORCE. And then she had collapsed, having yet to wake up.[break][break]

Fern saw to himself in the meantime, showering off the grime, and splinting his nose, but his head still felt scrambled, and his ribs sore.
And that didn’t even broach the uneasy edge that settled under their skin the longer it took for their friend to wake up.[break][break]

They almost don’t lift to answer the door when the harsh knock startled them from the daze they’d settled into. Slowly, their head turned in the direction of their entryway. Cecilia had slithered away, back to the plush bed kept near the heater and she cracked one golden eye open as if reminding Fern that though he didn’t want to meet an unwanted face there, there was only one person who might knock so frantically.[break][break]

And they did very much want to see him.[break][break]

Fern hadn’t heard from jayden cross in the wake of everything, and the realization of it cut through his worry to breed a new, second layer of anxiety. That was all they needed to scramble for the door, yanking it open with wide eyes, rimmed red so the blue of their irises stood out sharper.[break][break]

Their hand had lifted to press a finger to their lips for quiet, but it fell away as they reached for him instead, ignoring the ache in their sore and tired limbs as they pulled him in without a word. Almost frantically so with the wash of relief that hit them at the sight of him relatively in one piece.

relief. then confusion, then concern, and then alarm.

[break][break] as jayden steps forward to embrace the other, he is halted by the sight of hands upon lips. violet eyes glance down at the other, relieved to see him in one peace but unable to shake the tension from his shoulders even as fern delaney pulls him in for an embrace. his chin is tucked beneath the other's hair, and while the touch is comfort, jayden is unable to shake the feeling that something is off. terrible, terribly off.

[break][break] fern is at home, but he is not alone. why had he pressed a finger to his lips for silence? was there something else that he should be worried about. had the league, somehow, broken into sootopolis in the space between littleroot and mt. pyre's closing? had they all planned this? had the meteor just been a ruse?

[break][break] "who is it," he murmurs, a whisper under his breath, as he holds fern tight to his chest. trying to make it seem like nothing is amiss when, in fact, everything was amiss. one hand flicks to his side, pressing against the hilt of a dagger still hidden beneath his clothes, bloodied with the DRK triad member's wounds.

The line of thought that spirals in Jayden’s mind is not one that Fern’s follows. They are too tired, too addled, too dizzy. All of it compounded into a mildly dazed state on top of the tasks they’ve been completing on auto-pilot just so they aren’t left with idle hands and anxiety.[break][break]

They’ve settled for insomnia instead.[break][break]

“Huh?” They feel his arms tighten around them, and though they don’t mind it, it does give them pause. Jayden seems to coil, even as he holds onto Fern. Poised for attack. Fern’s hand drifts down to cover the hand that appeared to be reaching for something as they shook their head. “It’s not a threat, I-“ They glance back over their shoulder as if it’ll manifest Marza, awake and okay, to walk down the short hall.[break][break]

“Marza Volchitsa is asleep,” they clarify, voice still hushed, and untangle from the sturdy hold so that they can pull him inside. Their hands wring together. “Actually, she’s been out for hours, and she was in bad shape.” The worried edge betraying that nagging thought as they look at Jayden again— I’m worried.[break][break]

They are quick to step back into his space, though, as they realize they weren’t quite done. Their arms slip around his middle again, and the side of their cheek presses against his chest. “I’m really glad you’re here.” They have questions of course, but their mind is still fuzzy from the knock they took and they just want to take comfort in this.[break][break]

Just for a little bit.[break][break]

fern is one of the few people on hoenn who would be able to touch him like that. at least, when he's like this, coiled like a snake ready to bite.

[break][break] (and the memory almost snakes it's way through. that he had bitten before, that he'd — but it's squashed down before it can have time to properly sprout.)

[break][break] his lips press together as he listens to fern delaney's story, allowing the other to slip from his grasp, and following his gaze towards the emptiness of the room's interior. this is yet another alarming fact — but at least, not as alarming as the previous thoughts. the strategies that had been building up inside his head like a tower crumble at the touch of familiar arms around his mid-section and slowly, the tension falls from jayden's shoulders.

[break][break] not entirely, but it is a start.

[break][break] he leans down, falling into the touch. he presses his cheek against the top of fern's head, letting his eyes close for a minute. just to savor the moment.

[break][break] "i'm glad too," he murmurs, his hands wrapping slowly around the other's shoulder to knit him a tight embrace. this one - however - is not forged in alarm and concern but rather in the soft-haze comfort of relief.

[break][break] lips brush against the top of fern's forehead, taking a breath that he didn't know he'd been holding.

[break][break] "i was worried."

It’s a wonder that Fern can hold onto him like this and not be cut by the sharp edges that seem to come up around him. They hang on, though, not easily dissuaded until he pulls back only long enough to lead Jayden through the entry.[break][break]

Fern can sense the ease of the other’s tension under their hands and they breathed a sigh of relief. Their eyes squeeze shut, heart thumping at the words he speaks despite how worn thin and exhausted they are. Even now, there is a thrill that comes with knowing that Jayden was concerned for their well-being.[break][break]

“Me too,” the mutter back, burrowing closer if that’s even possible, as their fingers ball in the back of his shirt. Their breath is shaky with fatigue, and they feel some of the knot in their chest that has been present since they returned home begin to finally ease. Just a bit.[break][break]

They sag a little under Jayden’s touch, smiling faintly as lips press against their forehead, “So much happened. I don’t even know where to start.” And really, they just want to sleep for a year straight. They can’t do that, though. Not with Marza as she is. Their legs feel like they could buckle under them, still.

thanks to kyurem, hoenn's winter this year is brittle and unforgiving. though he had stepped through the phantom force portal, the wind had ripped fierce through him. but with every moment held in fern delaney's tender embrace, he can feel his body slowly but surely warm up.

[break][break] or maybe it's the other's impact. maybe fern delaney is just the kind of person to light up a room.

[break][break] jayden allows himself a moment longer to be selfish, holding onto the other, but eventually he finds the time to separate. the back of a hand slides into the other's cheek as he looks down at them and forces himself to commit it to memory — as well as take in the sight of his injuries and assess if anything deeper needs to be looked at.

[break][break] "bring me to her," he says. "i'm no doctor, but i can take a look."

[break][break] because that is the thing that fern is worried about. jayden knows it, because he knows them.

[break][break] and how important Marza Volchitsa is to them.

Fern finds that they don’t really want to let go now that he’s there and holding onto them. For the first time since they stepped foot on the mountain, they feel safe again. And maybe a bit held together as well. They lean into the touch against their face, eyes fluttering shut. “How are you? Are you alright?” Fern can’t help but ask when they do look at him again, scanning the other for injury just as intently.[break][break]

When they pull apart and jayden cross makes his request, Fern reaches out to fit their hands together. “Okay,” they say quietly, tugging him down the hall toward the spare bedroom. “I think she’s pretty rough, she’s been out for so long. But I haven’t done much treatment because I think if she wakes up while I am, she might actually clobber me.”[break][break]

Not on purpose, of course, but out of confusion. They have pulled a quilt up over her in the meantime, given the effort it took to get her onto the made up bed in the first place.[break][break]

Any blood that seeps into the comforter, they don’t care about. They would much rather that Marza Volchitsa just wake up already. “She took a lot of hits,” they explain, voice raspy and thin. “She had a stab wound, but I don’t know. Palkia did something strange, and I think she got caught up in it.” They aren’t sure, they didn’t see all of the finer details from up in the sky.

"i am..."

[break][break] his lips press together. normally, he would be evasive. avoid the question. jayden didn't do very well in talking about himself, and even less sharing that part of himself with others. but with everything that had happened that day — with everything that had seemed so poignantly near-life ending...

[break][break] "i am better," he said, conceding as he presses a kiss against their forehead. "now that i've seen you."

[break][break] jayden remembered the way his heart had seized with panic when he'd realized that not only was fern not in the medbay, but that they had never been.

[break][break] their hands slide together with an ease and warmth that is accompanied with relief in his chest, and jayden follows the other down the hallway. even though his body is still tense from the after-effects of the battle, it is doing well to being part of fern delaney presence.

[break][break] from behind fern, his lips curve into a smile. "but that is just her way of showing affection, isn't it?"

[break][break] or at least isn't that what they'd told him, many upon a time?

[break][break] when they arrive, the rocket admin kneels in the carpet before them and stares quietly at the quietly snoozing rocket. his hands slip from fern's hold, if only to inspect the other further. his fingers curl around a piece of Marza Volchitsa's shirt, peeling it back to inspect the stab wound.

[break][break] "do you have a first-aid kit?" while her body seemed to be doing a good enough job clotting, the wound would need to be properly dressed. straightening, his body hovers over marza's as he presses two fingers against the other's wrist. a steady heartbeat; that was a good sign.

[break][break] blinking, jayden turns to fern and angles his head upwards.

[break][break] "you saw palkia?"

[break][break] he pauses.

[break][break] "dialga kicked me in the face."

“Promise?”[break][break]

Still their eyes flutter shut as the sensation of lips against his forehead. It’s not enough to stave off the worry for his friend in the next room, but it settles the worry he had had for Jayden’s well-being. “I'm happy you came.”[break][break]

“Yes, maybe in a way it is. Though I think she’d rather call me names than actually snap me in two.” Or at least, Fern hopes so. He’ll take the former over the latter easily.[break][break]

“She also got shot, but those were mostly grazes, so there shouldn’t be any bullets to remove,” he adds quietly, watching as jayden cross kneels beside the bed where Marza Volchitsa rests. She really took the brunt of it all, didn’t she? Guilt flares up in the pit of Fern’s stomach the longer he thinks about it.[break][break]

Quickly, Fern bobs his head, eager to be distracted from self-deprecating thoughts. “Yeah, of course.” Slipping away, he is only gone for a minute as he grabs the kit from under his bathroom sink.[break][break]

They are extending the little box down when the question is posed, and they blink. “Oh, yeah. There was that Father Winter guy, and he was controlling palkia. Saw it all from the air.”[break][break]

Another stab of guilt for leaving Marza on the ground. “Will she be okay?”break][break]

Fern blinks rapidly at the simple response, color draining from his face. “Dialga what? Are you sure you’re okay?”

"promise."

[break][break] the vow is said with quiet conviction, and nothing else needs to be said. lying to others may have come easily to him, as virtue of his profession, but whenever it came to fern, that was never an option.

[break][break] as hurt as he was, he knew that fern hurt worse.

[break][break] their fingers intertwine as he's led down the small corridor that is fern delaney's home, chuckling as he imagines what kind of things a healthy Marza Volchitsa and fern could get up to, listening quietly as the state of the older rocket is parroted back to them. in his mind, the different data points piece together — a GSW, with no lasting bullets, a presumably beating heartbeat.

[break][break] 'father winter?'

[break][break] alarm shoots through him briefly at the mention of the drk triad member. jayden had never met him in person, had only basis of rocket reports or the words of mint frost to go off of, but it was a concern that yet another drk triad member had appeared. one at mt. pyre, and one at littleroot. was there one that had appeared on the meteor as well? he would have to ask mint.

[break][break] as his finger's brush against Marza Volchitsa's neck, he can hear a steady heartbeat despite the woman's unconscious state. as he observes the wound on her torso, fern's words are confirmed. there are no gunshot fragments, and the clumsy wrapping has been enough to help the blood clot. he unfurls the gauze that's stained red, revealing the injury to the open air — before his other finger clips against his side-belt, releasing his gothita.

[break][break] "lugh. heal pulse."

[break][break] the small psychic type obliges, pressing palms forward on marza's belly, as healing energy pulses before them.

[break][break] jayden uses the moment to re-direct his attention to fern, though he still kneels before the couch. "she'll be fine," he says, glancing briefly at fern. 'i'm fine', his eyes seem to say. "after lugh's done, i'll do some basic woundcare so that she doesn't get infected. she probably just needs some rest."

Promise.[break][break]

The steady assurance in the other’s tone causes Fern to nod in acceptance, though his eyes still linger as if he might find something to fret over if he looks hard enough.[break][break]

He’s tired, he just wants to sit back down again and curl up into a ball on the couch, but the need for Marza to be well outweighs that desire. He’d like for her to be well again, and able enough to bicker and gripe at him. It’s better than the discomforting quiet that’s enveloped his house.[break][break]

“You recognize the name?” Fern comments in question, head tilting as recognition seems to flash across the other’s expression.[break][break]

The gothita that jayden cross summons gets right to work, prompt and efficient.[break][break]

He should have thought of this– it’s not like he doesn’t possess a single pokemon without a healing capability. But his own head is so scrambled, it’s been hard to think straight through the worry and the pain that came with having his head knocked a bit harder than it should have. Regardless, it only heightens that guilty feeling.[break][break]

So at the mention of what Jayden plans to do in order to help Marza Volchitsa– his friend (his best friend, even?) Fern only nods dumbly, voice dropping a touch quiet. Uncharacteristically quiet. “Okay, that’s smart. You’re probably right.”[break][break]

Waiting, he perches on the edge of the bed on the opposite side, fingers twisting together uselessly.

it only occurs to him belatedly that, despite their closeness, fern delaney cannot read his mind. they are only human, after all.

[break][break] for the moment, his gaze is fixed on Marza Volchitsa's form as his pokemon performs heal pulse. he knows that not every move is perfect and that there are bound to be abnormalities — but with this, he wants to make sure it is done right. done correctly so he fixes his pokemon with a steely gaze of concentration until he believes the worst of it is over.

[break][break] leaving lugh to finish the job, his head inclines backwards once he realizes that the room has been silent for some time. jayden leans back, sitting on the ground as he turns to them. violet eyes finds fern delaney's, before he pats the space in front of him, inviting them to sit near him.

[break][break] "but yeah, i know father winter. or at least, i've heard of him. he appeared last winter, and brought back several rockets into alternate universes." a pause. "he's part of the drk triad."

He almost offers to leave Marza to her rest, but for the moment he’s unwilling to leave just yet. Only until he’s sure that she’s at least successfully patched up and comfortable.[break][break]

At the silent invitation, Fern folds immediately. It’s not the couch in the other room, but he’d much rather sit huddled on the floor with the other than alone. Sliding off the edge of the bed, he settles in front of Jayden and wastes little time in leaning sideways so that the side of his head meets the slope of the admin’s shoulder and neck as his own shoulder bumps lightly against his chest.[break][break]

Despite the ringing in his head, Fern finds talking about some of what happened is at least a successful distraction from his worry and guilt. “I don’t know much about the drk triad, but the alternate universe thing makes some sense,” he replied quietly, eyes falling shut with the heaviness of his eyelids. “It seemed like he was manipulating palkia into causing all sorts to open up. And not just other realities, either.”[break][break]

A rift between life and death. Fern probably wouldn’t believe it if he hadn’t been front and center seat to the whole thing.
