Misery loves company—or so they say. But Evelyn doubted she'd ever be miserable with Addy around. In fact, Addy had brought something new into her life, something Evelyn couldn’t quite describe. It was a warmth, a sense of purpose she hadn’t realized she needed. It was strange, almost unsettling, but one thing was clear: she wasn’t about to let her go. Not now, and certainly not ever. [break][break]

Evelyn chuckled softly as she felt Addy’s touch. The sensation reminded her of what it felt like to be held with genuine care—something she hadn’t felt in a long time. "It’s comforting, isn’t it?" she murmured, her voice softer than usual. "To have at least one person who truly understands your pain, even if it’s just one."[break][break]

She tilted her head slightly, a slow, playful smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. “Forget you?” Her voice was soft, but it carried an edge, a sharpness that hinted at a deeper connection between them. “I’d sooner let the world burn before I’d ever forget you.” Her eyes locked onto Addy’s emerald green, their usual coolness melting into something warmer, something almost tender. There was a flicker of intensity there—a shared understanding of pain, of loneliness—but also of something more.[break][break]

“But if you’re offering to light the match,” Evelyn continued, her voice lowering to a near-whisper, “I’ll hold it with you.” She reached out, gently brushing a lock of Addy’s hair behind her ear, her touch delicate but firm, as if to say she wasn’t going anywhere. “Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that I’ve never wanted to walk away from you. Not then, and certainly not now.”

She leaned in, her voice barely a whisper now. “Let’s set this world ablaze... together.”

a fragile hope balloons in absinthe's chest, something tender and youthful, or perhaps youthful in a different way. she doesn't feel younger or purer. the lifetime of blood on her hands is too heavy, too gruesome, and it soils even the most miniscule of clean things in her heart. but there is something about knowing that someone else wants to burn the world with her, that someone else craves her violence, that makes her feel potent and rejuvenated.[break][break]

she's craved the weight of her hand in evelyn's hair, too. almost more than anything else. but absinthe has never been so indulgent, not in a long time, and certainly not with something that actually has the power to hurt her. if she lets herself feel too much, she might let the thought of a family, of a future that doesn't entail her slow, cruel disintegration plague her thoughts, and those false expectations have the power to break her.[break][break]

but there's something here worth chasing. so she leans in just a little bit more, a hair's breadth away from evelyn's face, close enough to press her forehead to evelyn's, the scrappy remnants of her lips just barely ghosting over evelyn's mouth. she craves this—touch, comfort, care—and she has for as long as she can remember. she's been starved for connection, for the heat of knowing that someone will stick by her, even as her ambitions tear her apart from the inside. there's enough of her left, enough of who she used to be, to crave this tenderness. and there's enough of her left that knows she doesn't deserve it.[break][break]

why else would cole have treated her like he did? how can love exist without pain?[break][break]

her voice comes out on a breathless whisper, warm, soft puffs of air caressing evelyn's lips as she speaks. "you have no idea what you're getting yourself into," she prefaces weakly. "this life... it destroys people. i'm going to need you, evelyn. and i haven't needed anyone in a very, very long time."[break][break]

three years, by now.[break][break]

she's trembling slightly, overcome with an intoxicating mixture of fear and desire and tenderness. she's vulnerable, and evelyn's the only person she's been this open with in a long time. "if we do this... it's a promise," she breathes, and then lets her lips gently brush against evelyn's. "a promise that we'll bring hoenn to its knees with our own two hands. can you promise me?"[break][break]

absinthe's final defense. she needs evelyn to promise that she won't leave, like everybody else in absinthe's life.

There was no backing down, but Evelyn wouldn’t have it any other way. She was selfish—once she set her sights on something, she wouldn’t stop until it was hers. Revenge was one thing, but Absinthe was another. From the moment she agreed to join Team Rocket, she knew it wasn’t just her life on the line anymore. Her daughter, and now this growing relationship—this bond, whatever it was—were at stake, too.[break][break]

Her eyes locked firmly onto Absinthe’s emerald gaze, even as her lips teased with a smirk. “Oh, darling, you have no idea who you’re dealing with,” she cooed, her voice smooth as a serpent, coiling around her dark desires and needs. “This life destroys people, sure—but not me. Not anymore.”[break][break]

She tilted her head slightly, wondering. A promise. She never liked making them and preferred breaking them. She never saw herself as truly trustworthy, nor did she ever plan to be. But for this—this was different. For this, she would try. “I promise, come hell or high water. Until Hoenn burns beneath us, and our revenge is done, I’ll stay with you. You’re not the only one who needs someone to lean on now and just know, I don’t share.” A soft chuckle escaped her lips as she brushed a kiss against her.

there's a wicked tenderness to her voice, teasing and consoling and possessive all at once, and the fire in absinthe's chest only roars hotter. the satisfaction is magnetic, like touching her tongue to a battery, or a part of herself that she hadn't realized was there.[break][break]

at this point, she should have shoved evelyn away. but it's not disgust that fills her, instead, something soft and molten seems to harden to steel in her chest, soldering her broken pieces together with something new and much less brittle. they are both survivors, shaped by pain and determination, something stronger than they ever were before. they might not have always been so brazen and destructive, but now, they're parallel in the most primal of ways, capable of truly understanding one another. or perhaps they've always been like this; shaped by something dark and hungry deep in their souls. it's in this moment that absinthe decides that this person, this thing that has reached out for her, is something she can trust. she only needs her intuition to know this is right, to know they fit.[break][break]

absinthe's lips quirk upwards into something that resembles a smile, and she agrees. "you never were the sharing type," absinthe murmurs. evelyn's mouth brushes against absinthe's and she sucks in a sharp breath. she thinks about evelyn's beautiful, unblemished skin marred with ash and knows she shouldn't let herself get carried away like this. she doesn't have anything to offer evelyn that isn't covered in grime. she shouldn't let herself get close, but it's been so long since absinthe has allowed herself this kind of intimacy, she isn't sure she knows how to pull away. she's suddenly, intensely, aware of the painful thundering of her own heart.[break][break]

she kisses back, carefully, softly, for a moment. then, she pulls away, but not without first wrapping her hand in evelyn's in the slightest tug of skin against skin.[break][break]

"then we have a lot of work to do," she muses, and she stands up a little bit straighter. "come. i want to show you many things."[break][break]

absinthe leads evelyn out of the sewers, the dragonite and the need for supplies almost entirely forgotten.
