The moment the Celesteela had crossed the Sanctuary’s borders, all it would take would be for him to guide the ‘moon princess’ towards the flat on the grounds, before bringing her to a complete stop.

“Alright, let me just…” he continued, looking down and realizing that it was going to be a rather steep climb downward; and he wasn’t feeling all too well to make the jump. Yikes.

Due to the random hodgepodge and mishmash of Pokémon he had with him, asides from the ‘moon princess’ he didn’t have Gabriel or Kyouya; at least he had Vincent but he was pretty sure the Lucario couldn’t fly…

“Can you help me down, Kaguya?” he would ask the Celesteela; once the ‘exhaust rockets’ had quieted down and there was enough space for him to make the…

Landing.

Now, here’s hoping that a certain someone hadn’t gotten another stress haircut because he’d disappeared… and never mind that he was still wearing the strange ‘prison clothing’ from where he’d been unceremoniously taken to.

No stress haircut this time.
[break][break]
He’d turned the flat upside down in a mindless panic. Gone door to door through the city streets, dread turning his heart into some perforated amalgamation of an organ. There’s no way Alex would have just left-- him, maybe, but the sanctuary? Never.
[break][break]
That was day one. Day two had him traversing whole swathes of Hoenn. Most of the authorities, the powers-that-were, had the same story for him: bunch of important people disappeared in the night. No idea where they had gone. Go home and wait.
[break][break]
He could not do that. He could not do that. He felt so ill, like his whole life was turning inside out, and he didn’t eat or sleep. He just walked-- all the bridges of Fortree, all her lesser-traveled ground streets. Strung out and tweaking, until he saw the pointed glow of a magic star in the sky, heading straight for their home.
[break][break]
He burst through the rooftop door with a stream of garbled language interspersed with curses he didn’t even know the meaning of.
[break][break]
“Oh, thank you god, thank god, thank god--!”

Once he’d managed to alight from Kaguya’s long, spindly arms was when the door to the aerial roof deck burst open; and before the other could do as so much to throw his entire manlet weight upon him, he quickly (and quietly) pulled out the Moon Ball that Kaguya the Celesteela called home, recalling her in a flash of light.

“Do you… do you have anything salty to eat? I’m sick and tired of eating fucking disgustingly poisoned mochi… weeks upon weeks of the same fucking purple stuff… ugh,” he would begin; never mind if he shivered a little.

Now that it was just the two of them on the roof, he would allow Memo the entire force of his worry to just come at him and—

“Please,” he would whisper a few moments later.

“Anything salty… not sweet… I can’t take disgustingly sweet shit anymore.”

And for all the worry the other had bottled up, he would raise his limp, noodly arms and wrap them around the last piece of his heart, shaking slightly but with the same reassurance that he was physically there; in the here and now.

Alex is saying things and Memo isn’t listening. He’s too busy touching-- wrapping his arms around him, burying his face in his chest, running palms up and down his spine. He pinches his cheek to check his color, holds his bangs up to look in his eyes-- comfortingly lavender, as always-- drops fingers to his waist to make sure he’s not lost drastic amounts of weight. He’s skinnier, sure, but still there, still whole.
[break][break]
“I,” he said, gulping through a sob like a fish out of water, “sure, yeah. Whatever you want.”
[break][break]
He pressed his forehead to Alex’s sternum and cried.

“Shh…” he would continue quietly as he felt his partner’s body quiver like an unstrung bow the moment he heard the muffled crying.

“It’s alright, Memo… I’m home now,” he went on, holding the other man as close as humanly possible; the physical reassurance that everything would be alright, that he was present in the here and now.

He just… really needed something salty to eat. However, he would let the other just—take the entirety of him in at this very moment.

“I’m here with you, love. Don’t cry anymore, o-okay?” he would stammer afterward. God, how was the Frog such a natural at affection, and he felt like a prickly cactus whenever he tried to be mushy!

“I can’t-- I--,”
[break][break]
He can’t stop crying, that’s for one thing. He was so goddamn scared. The anxiety of waking up to Alex gone still bubbled in his blood, like nitrogen poisoning.
[break][break]
He felt bad making it all about himself, but…
[break][break]
“I don’t know how many more times-- I can do this,” he chokes out, raw and unfettered and horribly genuine. “Waking up to you gone…”
[break][break]
One of these times, one or both of them may not survive it.

In his honest defense, he had no idea he’d been taken in the middle of the night—he last remembered curling up to be the big spoon to his little spoon right here and hiding under the blankets; the next he recalled waking up in that goddamned prison and enduring several hellish days (weeks?) trapped in that space.

He wondered how his cellmate was doing at that moment.

Either way…

“This time, though, Frog, it… it wasn’t my fault. I distinctly remember falling asleep with you in my arms and the next time I opened my eyes I’d been taken to this fucking cell and. And things started happening. Strange, weird things that you might think I’m making up.”

He would leave it at that.

“Also… I’ve been thinking about… about something.”

He hoped his partner would have an open ear to listen to what he had to say. He’d given this a thought while on the way back here.

Somehow, someway, Memo dug deep enough to find the strength to sit up and swipe a hand over his face. He pinched the bridge of his nose and inhaled, exhaled, inhaled, listening to Alex talk.
[break][break]
“Let’s-- just-- can we go inside?” He swept his arm wide at the stars around them. “We keep having tearful reunions on the flight pad. We have a whole flat, you know.”

That would be the very first time the other would hear him laugh—even if it was just a fleeting little noise of mirth, fact of the matter was Memo had made the other man laugh—if even for a few seconds.

“I wouldn’t want to worry all the kids inside, you know,” he chuckled as he soaked the other man’s steady physical contact around him.

Truth be told, those ‘three weeks’ were some of the worst time he’d spent ‘away’ from his rock, the roost he called home (now and forevermore).

He would then surprise his partner by sweeping him in his arms, bridal style—never mind if they were scrawnier than the last he remembered them being.

Working for endless hours in that ‘prison’ had given him some semblance of strength due to the (punishing) heavy labor everyone had endured.

A beam of red light would come from his pocket; and this time there would be a third pair of eyes watching her ‘dads’ being sappy—it was Zelle the Phione; the Water-type waved in welcome to her other ‘poppa’ before settling down in his hair.

“Can… can you make anything for us to eat? Just. Don’t make anything sweet for now. I need a detoxifying cleanse, too,” he would ask the other man quietly as they went inside their home.

“I’m hoping-- being in front of the kids gives me a reason not to cry,” he manages to choke out, intermittent with harsh giggles and bit-back sobs.
[break][break]
He’s ready to turn and head in when Alex scoops him off his feet-- not, inherently, a difficult thing to do, given their size difference, but Memo’s a solid little fucker, and Alex, famously, no upper body strength-- and as he nestles his cheek against Alex’s chest he tries to think light thoughts.
[break][break]
Memo reaches one hand out for Zelle to land in, to pull her close and nuzzle into her.
[break][break]
Mi pequeña caosita,” he purred, affectionate, sighing with some semblance of peace.
[break][break]
Alex’s requests for something not too sweet unnerved him, but he didn’t say it. Again, Alex, famously known for only wanting to eat sugar, and then wondering why his health wasn’t grand. “Yes. How about something spicy? I can make curry.”

The Phione would make this little noise that sounded like a ‘Wheeeee’ the moment she was plucked out of her poppa’s hair and literally cuddled.

She loved the physical affection and made cooing noises while flailing her thumbless limbs around before squishing said limbs against Memo’s cheeks, taking the other man in like her entire life depended on it.

(Which, it always did.)

It wouldn’t take too long for them to eventually arrive in the kitchen (the landing pad not being too far from the flat anyways) and he would set his partner down gently so the other man could start cooking; letting the Phione stay in his partner’s hold.

He would then redirect himself towards the couch, settling down with a barely-audible grunt. This motion would’ve normally sent the Wooloo children scattering; however it brought out the ‘runt’ of the herd, approaching curiously with a new ribbon around her collar, and he would let the wee little thing settle against his foot.

“Curry sounds nice,” he would agree once he’d leaned back on the sofa. God, he missed being home.

“And… speaking of which. Frog?” he continued once he’d gotten himself settled in and was holding a pillow to keep his arms distracted.
