is his emergency contact.

[break][break] it used to be , but after she had gotten together with , it just didn't feel right. even putting eva there didn't feel right; she had plenty of things to handle on her own, and her stupid kid brother didn't need to be added on her list of errands to run. he thought about switching it to too, but she too probably wouldn't have taken kindly to the amount of times that he probably got into scuffles which was - admittingly - more than he would've liked.

[break][break] 'this isn't you. you're better than this.'

[break][break] he can still remember the brilliant neon glow of the other man's suit, the robotic crackle of his static electricity. ollie doesn't know why he feels bad. he shouldn't feel bad. NEON isn't the one who got injured. NEON isn't the one who failed. NEON isn't —

[break][break] "ouch!" he hisses, mouth tipped into a frown as he pulls away from the paramedic. it's a kid that must be just freshly graduated, because he's throwing stitches like he's still in high school. that is to say, badly. really badly. "can't you, um, can't you just be a little gentler?"

[break][break] he tries not to be mean about it, but it's hard, not when pain throbs with every bone in his body.

[break][break] sirens ring in the distance as authorities rush to the scene. ollie's honestly surprised that the interview with the cops had been as quick as it was, but he was sure that would drill him as soon as he got back to HQ. especially since it was in lilycove of all places. leaning back against the ambulance door, ollie let out a sigh and tried to close his eyes as the other man got back to his stitches.

[break][break] only for green eyes to flash open again, this time with slightly more irritation.

[break][break] "ow! c'mon dude. can't you get someone to help before you mangle my hand? i need that, you know."

"OLLIE!"[break][break]

's voice had never sounded so panicked.[break][break]

"OLLIE!"[break][break]

When the authorities cleared the area after had vacated the gallery, the first thing he'd done was barrel through the partition keeping evacuees from those involved in the incident. The professor sprinted around the scene, weaving through police and emergency vehicles, frantically searching face after face after face for him.[break][break]

He had to be alive. He had to, he had to, he had to. The mere thought otherwise caused Gideon's heart to constrict in a way that made him feel like he was dying, like he couldn't breathe, like he was losing something inside of him that was irreplaceable.[break][break]

"OLL—"[break][break]

There. [break][break]

Relief flooded Gideon's senses at the sight of the ranger. Safe, chatting away like usual.[break][break]

Chest heaving, sweat dripping from his brow, the professor didn't immediately approach.[break][break]

First, he did a deep inhale, a shaky exhale. A purposeful pause to gather his composure, to steady his rapidly beating heart. And then a step forward, then another, until Gideon was maintaining a collected walk straight toward .[break][break]

Then he saw the blood, the clumsy attempt at stitching a wound, Ollie's obvious pain. Something inside him flared red.[break][break]

"Go. I'll take care of it."[break][break]

The young paramedic guffawed at him, beginning to resist. [break][break]

"Leave." Gideon growled, his tone low, cutting, severe. Whether Ollie gave his blessing or not, the stormy look on the professor's face was enough to shoo the paramedic away.[break][break]

When they were finally alone, he sat beside on the bumper of the ambulance. [break][break]

"...what did the paramedics say when they looked you over?" He questioned, looking away to gather a curved suture and thread from a nearby medical kit.[break][break]

It was his way of asking are you alright?

[attr="class","postbox"] Whatever that poor paramedic was about to say, it didn't matter. It was cut off by the urgent voice of another.

[break][break] "Go. I'll take care of it."

[break][break] Relief — sharper than the pain in his hand — flooded through Ollie as appeared before him like a divine savior. Even as the young paramedic was waved away and the looming threat of an experienced needle was long since gone, Ollie's gaze lingered on the Museum Director as if he was an angel drafted from the heavens, almost as if he was expecting a halo to crown his beautiful head.

[break][break] "You're my hero," Ollie said with a smile, his voice teasing despite the circumstances. "You don't know how many times that guy tried to stab me."

[break][break] A sudden memory of a glitching NEON rushed through him, the digital echo of the day's events sending a shiver down his spine. It made him tense, inexplicably, his good hand clenching around his knee as he offered his injured one for Gideon to stitch.

[break][break] "He said I was fine," he murmured, looking away into the flashing dotted lights of the ambulance and police cars that gathered around the crime scene. Trying to distract himself.

[break][break] "Healthy as a Ponyta."

Thread by painful thread weaved a secure hold around 's wound, stitching severed skin back together. He was quiet as he did so — laser-focused on his work, gaze steadfastly on his friend's hand.[break][break]

For some reason it was hard for him to look Ollie in the eye. He'd been so relieved to see him in one piece just moments ago — but now that relief had morphed into something ugly. Gideon couldn't even place the emotions he was feeling, he only knew that they weren't good.[break][break]

"Don't—" He tried to stop himself but failed. "Don't joke around. You could have died, Ollie—"[break][break]

Gideon's mind kept flashing to 's face right before he'd left to fight . How he'd practically begged to go with him, how Ollie had made him go with the rest of the civilians. [break][break]

It just didn't sit right with him.

[attr="class","postbox"] 'You could have died, Ollie' sounded a lot like 's 'You weaken me.'

[break][break] How many times would Ollie risk his life for others? How many times would he pretend — like always — nothing was wrong?

[break][break] But unlike 's words, 's concern didn't break the exterior of his perfectly constructed armor. He wore his heart on his sleeve, continuing to smile at the Slateport professor like nothing was amiss.

[break][break] "But I didn't though," he said, with a careless shrug. "All thanks to you."

[break][break] He grinned.

[break][break] It was so much easier to be like this, to spend time with and pretend like everything was fine. As if NEON hadn't stabbed him a hundred times - or tried to. As if he hadn't witnessed what felt like personal failure, at his inability to save that boy with what he felt was certain demise.

[break][break] 's words rang in his ears, even then:

[break][break] ", brother of , yet for some reason absent during the war in kanto."

[break][break] he flinched.

[break][break] "ah, gideon. you're hurting me."

[break][break] he pursed his lips, placing a hand gently on the other's wrist.

had been so focused on what could have happened that he lost track of the here and now.[break][break]

"Ah, sorry—" Pausing at Ollie's touch, the professor let out another shaky breath, willing the jumble of emotions tightening his chest to loosen. [break][break]

"...C'mon, Ollie, I didn't do anything. I ran and showed back up after the fact."[break][break]

It was a logically true statement, but Gideon knew that his friend would somehow find a way to put a positive spin on things. Still, he hadn't been allowed to help, and that frustrated him.[break][break]

"Let me at least take you home after this. You need to rest."

[attr="class","postbox"] 'Sorry.'

[break][break] His words were — as always — as soothing as honey upon a scalding wound.

[break][break] How many people in his life apologized? Not enough. Neither or ever would.

[break][break] "What do you mean? You did a lot! You went and got help, just like I asked."

[break][break] More importantly, he wasn't there. Ollie had asked the professor to go for a reason, and it wasn't just because the other man was technically a civilian.

[break][break] Because could he have done what was needed to be done, if Gideon was there?

[break][break] Frustratingly cheerful as always, as if he had not experienced a near-death experience, a brow arched above his hairline at 's suggestion.

[break][break] "Home? Well —"

[break][break] A flirtatious quip was on the tip of his tongue, but something stopped it. Somehow, the thought of burning amber eyes stopped him. Would be home? Had she called? His gaze drifted briefly to his thigh, where his phone sat, the glaringly empty missing phone calls on the screen proof enough.

[break][break] Emerald eyes darted back towards Gideon's liquid gold, as if such a transgression had never happened in the first place.

[break][break] "Actually, I think I'd like to go to yours, if that's okay." A pause, and his fingers tightened a little more around his wrist. Trembling slightly. "I don't think I want to be alone tonight."

"Of course." ' answer was immediate. "Whatever you need."[break][break]

The professor didn't hesitate to offer his home to — perhaps because he remembered his own state of mind after being attacked by ROCKET. He hadn't wanted to be alone, either.[break][break]

Another minute or two and Gideon was finished dressing his friend's wound. It had been stitched together in a way that would leave minimal scarring and wrapped neatly in gauze bandaging.[break][break]

"Let me know when you're ready to leave. I'm not sure if the police still need you, or..." He paused, a small, relieved smile on his lips.[break][break]

"Well, I'll be waiting regardless."

[attr="class","postbox"] an unexpected amount of relief bloomed in his heart, as though his friend's acceptance was more curing than any healing balm.

[break][break] why did it matter so much? sure, he didn't want to be alone, but there were plenty of others he could have called. , , ... even if both and were busy with their own matters. he was sure that someone would have answered the call so he didn't have to be alone.

[break][break] 'but would any of them have been like gideon?'

[break][break] "we can go now," ollie said, smiling. "i think i've made you wait long enough, anyway."

[break][break]

[attr="class","cp cp-sun"]


[break]

soon enough, they found their way to 's residence. it was a familiar sight — having spent many days there already — but for some reason, tonight felt different. maybe it was the way the sunset leaked into the sitting room, orange and violet shadow mingling into one. maybe it was because of the events of today.

[break][break] he wasn't sure. he couldn't place it.

[break][break] ollie leaned against in the entryway, hand lightly gripping the other's bicep as he slipped off his boots and shrugged off his jacket.

[break][break] "i'm hungry," ollie announced, plopping onto a nearby couch with a sigh. "what about you? think we should order in?"

' apartment was as he'd left it that morning: comfortably cluttered, with trappings of his interests in every corner. Books nearly spilled out from built-ins that lined one entire wall of the living area, papers — both academic and clerical — were stacked on corners of the dining room and coffee tables, trinkets and artifacts from his travels filled in the empty spaces. [break][break]

It was a familiar place for both men, now. Ever since the night had stayed for a celebratory drink, he'd made it a regular event to come and spend time here. [break][break]

He fit into the cluttered comfort so well, as if he'd belonged there forever. [break][break]

"I already have our usual pulled up," Gideon assured with a faint smile. A few taps to his phone screen and their dinner was ordered. "It should be here soon." [break][break]

Sitting down beside his friend, the professor stretched an arm across the back of the couch and added softly, "How are you feeling?"[break][break]

It was another way to ask, Do you want to talk about it?

[attr="class","postbox"] everywhere around them was evidence of simutaneously how similar was to , and yet how different. educational books that littered the table, to journal articles detailing different vivillon migration patterns, to the very paperwork that ollie detested and gideon probably adored.

[break][break] but somehow, they fit together like two puzzle pieces.

[break][break] at least, that was the story that ollie liked to think about. the comfort of something new and uncertain was far easier to deal with then the reality of something that was known but complicated.

[break][break] "you know me so well," he teased, a smile tucked into the corner of his mouth.

[break][break] the head ranger glanced at his friend as the couch cushion deepened with the other man sitting beside him. ollie leaned back against the other man's arm, wincing only slightly from the movement, as he closed his eyes. his body ached. his heart ached. everything ached.

[break][break] but his eyes blinked open when the other spoke again, emerald eyes seeking bright-flecked gold, the way that a wilted sunflower looks towards the sun.

[break][break] broken. bruised. won't you take care of me?

[break][break] a flirtatious quip was on the tip of his tongue; it would've been so easy to deflect. to flirt with the other man and lose himself in the other's embrace. to lie, just like he had in front of the paramedic van.

[break][break] but when he tried to speak, instead, he found himself unable. like, the last thing he wanted to do was lie.

[break][break]
"i'm perfectly fine, head ranger morales."


[break] he was tired. so, so tired.

[break][break] and all he wanted to do is tell the truth to .

[break][break] "awful actually," he said, sporting a wry grin. "who woulda thought getting stabbed so many times would hurt this much?"

[break][break] 'but that's not the thing that hurts the most, is it?' a voice in the back of head needled. his memory spurned with the sight of NEON'S fractured image, digitized pain flickering deeper than any stab-wound.

A small laugh left his lips, but it was mirthless — an act at simply indulging the other man’s joke. [break][break]

could have divulged his growing concern. The attachment and detachment he’d felt all at once as had pushed him away to go fight ROCKET. He could have expressed himself with words like,[break][break]

I was so worried.[break][break]

I’m so glad you’re alive.[break][break]

I couldn’t stop thinking of all the bad ways this could have gone today.

But he knew that would just be a burden. Ollie wasn’t looking for those sorts of sentiments right now, considering the freshness of his life-threatening fight. If Gideon had to guess, his friend probably desired comfort and distraction now — or perhaps even commiseration?[break][break]

The hand on the back of the couch moved to Ollie’s head, where his fingers caressed and gently weaved into the ranger’s auburn hair. [break][break]

[attr="class","postbox"] he closed his eyes briefly, as if he could still imagine the tortured expression of the rocket that had attacked him just moments ago. it wasn't the first time that ollie had met him either — he remembered the other man fighting against him and on mt. pyre, when he had just lost tabasco.

[break][break] the first pokemon that had ever died at the hands of a war.

[break][break] "a rocket crashed into the museum's top floor. he was causing havoc, attacking everyone in sight. his name's neon. i don't know if you've ever met him. he told me to get out of the way, that i needed to get out of the way."

[break][break] he swallowed thickly.

[break][break] "i don't know why i didn't just leave."

[break][break] but he did. he knew why. he was head ranger now, he had a responsibility.

[break][break] "gids, i..." a pause. "can i confess something?"

The digital mask wore, along with the moniker Neon, were unfamiliar to Gideon. He shook his head when Ollie mentioned the man, but didn't add anything else and simply let him finish.[break][break]

It was apparent by his friend's slight shift in tone and demeanor that he might be willing to share his true feelings — not just ones with a positive spin, as usual.[break][break]

Confess?[break][break]

' brows knitted together in concern. He leaned closer, his hand falling to Ollie's far shoulder.[break][break]

"Of course."

[attr="class","postbox"] "i..."

[break][break] he swallows thickly, as if the thing he's about to say is going to shatter whatever is between them both.

[break][break] "i didn't want to do this."

[break][break] "i mean. be head ranger. be a ranger captain."

[break][break] it wasn't that he didn't love the rangers, he did, but so much of the war is something out of his control. he thinks about the bitter look in 's eyes whenever she talked about rockets; he thinks about the obstinate way that even people like used to look at him, knowing who he was in his position.

[break][break] "i just - i feel lost. and a failure."

[break][break] it's as if the NEON's eyes are still piercing him now, as if the other man's delusions are just as bright and vivid as the memories that trickle like rain behind 's eyes.

[break][break] and for a brief, brief moment — in the silence and safety of 's home — the sun that is finally sets.

[break][break] despair casts like a shadow in his expression, full of quiet suffering.
