"it's nice of you to finally pay up, fausty boy. took ya long enough."[break][break]

like a bully shaking coins loose from a kid on a school yard, cian smirks at his friend, calling back to their little deal that elevated aaron into the elite four circuit. without cian, where would they be?[break][break]

around them, trains carrying sushi travel around a conveyor belt. he reaches for a plate, then another, and another, before placing them all in front of him, sorting them by color.[break][break]

"but i know there's something else on your mind. what's up? girl problems?"

"yeah, yeah, whatever, man," aaron says around a mouthful of food. eating is the only consolation for CIAN MAHER blackmailing him, but even that is soured by his soon-to-be-empty wallet. up until recently, money wasn't an issue for him, but his family invested in tourism and there's no tourists in hoenn anymore.[break][break]he pinches the bridge of his nose, his concern concealed behind cian's question. [break][break]"oh, yeah, kinda. i married a girl in my head a year ago."[break][break]not an unusual brand of aaron desperation. he's sure someone who fell to the ground and sobbed and burnt his lasagna could empathize. [break][break]"we hooked up irl. she said she remembers marrying me in her head but i dunno if that was dirty talk or some shit."[break][break]he reaches for another plate.

he blinks, attention dragged away from the colorful plates. "what the—in your head? what does that mean?"[break][break]

and as aaron goes on to explain that the thought (or memory) is mutual with said girl, he raises an eyebrow, confused at the whole thing.[break][break]

"we weren't high, bro."[break][break]he shakes his head, stuffing a roll into his mouth. he's barely set this plate on his pile before reaching for another. [break][break]"like a year ago, a bunch of us went to 120 to help some dog guys fight off a weird deer. she was there. and then we ended up in, like, game of thrones galar or some shit. we were king and queen. not gonna lie — it was pretty sick."[break][break]even though the details are hazy and dreamlike, he remembers illeana reyes at the fight, then again across snapshots of galar. he thought he saw a glimpse of her from that time when they were in the chasm together. [break][break]"it was real, dude. i swear." [break][break]

"oh yeah, i heard about that. even read some fanfics about it. sounds rough, bud."[break][break]

while cian normally despises the term bud or pal, it feels oddly appropriate with his friend aaron. maybe it's the man's demeanor that allows those terms to be used with ease.[break][break]

he pinches wasabi between his chopsticks and dips it in soy sauce, mixing it until the green clumps start to disappear.[break][break]

"your queen got a name? surely not queen faust."

"fanfics?" aaron echoes, face scrunched up. he doesn't even read regular books, never mind what he's assuming is the written version of fanart. how the hell does someone make a fanfic of a real life event? and who the hell is a fan of being trapped in some other world for twenty years?[break][break]maybe him, actually. but that life had a lot of lulls without wifi and an incognito browser.[break][break]he blinks, wondering if she had been queen faust. he can't remember the details, just her. [break][break]"illeana reyes. big scientist lady — you've prob heard of her." a faint redness crawls up the back of his neck as he speaks her name into existence and with it: all their memories together. he lingers on the thoughts, his newest plate of sushi sitting forgotten in front of him.[break][break]

recognition dawns on him instantly at the mention of illeana reyes. it hadn't been too long ago that he'd last seen her down in the depths of area zero, but still, it feels like a lifetime ago.[break][break]

"oh yeah, i know her. she's cool, smart, and the total package, not to mention she now has a big bad space dragon watching over her."[break][break]

he lifts a piece of sushi to his mouth only to pause, suddenly struck with a thought.[break][break]

"wait a minute, how the hell did you land her?"

"yeah," aaron sighs out as CIAN MAHER lists all of her good traits, smiling like a big, dumb idiot. the smile flattens once hoenn's hotshot reaches the end of his compliments, tacking on that she has a big, bad, space dragon. "wait, what?"[break][break]watching him pick up his sushi prompts him to remember his own. his competitive drive won't abide by cian out-eating him, so he hoovers it off his plate. [break][break]"the game of thrones peasants made me king and her queen." he shrugs. "so i guess it just made sense to go along with it. plus — "[break][break]he snatches another plate off the conveyor belt. [break][break]" — look at me, i'm handsome as fuck."

not wanting to be outdone by this baboon either, cian chomps down on his sushi and then moves the plate to add to his growing stack of different colored plates.[break][break]

"but i'll give it to you. you can be quite handsome when you try."[break][break]

he chews, chews, chews, then swallows.[break][break]

"the fuck? how is that crazy? i was king for a long ass time so i had to be sick as fuck."[break][break]aaron side-eyes CIAN MAHER as he slurps up another piece of sushi. despite the feeling of fullness beginning to settle in, he reaches for two more plates to double his sushi-eating efficiency because fuck this guy. he already won vct, he shouldn't be greedy and try to out-eat him, too.[break][break]"thank you," he says around a fishy mouthful, feeling a little flustered by the compliment. "you're pretty aight too."[break][break]his sushi-eating efficiency grinds to a halt again, burdened by follow-up questions. [break][break]"because ... i dunno." [break][break]he rubs his forehead.

it's hard to imagine any kingdom, finctional or otherwise that would be sane enough to vote aaron faust as their leader. but if he had to imagine one, he'd think of a mushroom kingdom in some deep, dark forest, where all they do is get high and loiter around with no responsibilities.[break][break]

he reaches for another plate, hesitates, then quickly swaps it for another one.[break][break]

"i think that's bullshit."[break][break]

looking at his friend, he pushes.[break][break]

aaron takes the plate CIAN MAHER passed over, stuffing the sushi into his mouth. [break][break]"whaddaya mean?" his words muffle around half-digested rice and salmon. irritatingly, the champion-ranked trainer pushes. he stares hard at the tower of plates, swallows, and pushes a piece of rice out from between his teeth with his tongue. [break][break]"she dumped me and decided to do her own thing after a while. she always went into this, uh, tower to look at stars and some shit."[break][break]he looks at cian.[break][break]"she got a space dragon?"

internally, he seethes at how his friend went for the plate he passed over, the competitive fire in him burning brightly even if his stomach begs for him to stop.[break][break]

"stars and shit, huh. man, astrology chicks are scary."[break][break]

he glances over at the stack of plates, worried, before looking back at aaron.[break][break]

"palkia, yup, but so what? why did she dump you? did you even fight for her?"

aaron has no retort to the astrology chick statement, just a considering stare at plates of sushi slowly funneling past them. illeana reyes isn't scary (is she even an astrology chick? he doesn't really know the real her that well), but there's something about their relationship in galar that leaves a hollow pang in him. [break][break]"i don't remember."[break][break]his elbow plants on the table and he leans his face against his fist, cheek smooshed petulantly against his mouth. he hopes, in that life, he had tried to fight for her, but he can't conjure the image of it in his head. his dream of them has weathered, leaving only snapshots of their life together. he can't recall their kids, can't recall the reconciliation they found at the end, just the sting of abandonment as she disappeared into that tower. [break][break]"she wanted to study the stars 'n shit, man, i just told you. and palkia's kinda like a stars 'n shit dragon, right? so she has the thing she dumped me over."[break][break]
