in the end, that's all he could really ask for: the gentle, vulnerable, and honest admission that affirms what's important to him—it is what forms the foundation of his trust—she's trying.[break][break]

it's only right of him to offer the same in return.[break][break]

a kiss, a promise, and a meal later, they move on.[break][break]

"there's something else i wanted to show you."[break][break]

with his offered hand, he leads them down the side of the cliff, descending along steps that jut out with easy flicks of his wrist. it doesn't take them long to get to the bottom.[break][break]

the league facility is nothing short of impressive. it is the amalgamation of brilliant minds and stern hearts. it is what is right; it houses what could potentially be wrong.[break][break]

inside, the temperature rises. streams of lava drag along the side before meeting in the central pool that houses none other than the continental titan.[break][break]

hoenn's savior.[break][break]

hoenn's reckoning.[break][break]

"do you trust me, anna?"[break][break]

while it is a simple solution, giving it any further thought would only complicate things when both of them could desperately use a win, so relief hits him the moment she concedes and shifts closer to claim his space; he allows her to—invites her, even.[break][break]

"i want us to be exclusive."[break][break]

not strong enough.[break][break]

"be my girlfriend, anna."[break][break]

not good enough.[break][break]

his gaze lowers, following hers to her hands. he reaches out for them as he says, "i'm scared, too."[break][break]

he would be a fool not to be scared.[break][break]

the repeated 'i like you' only sets up the 'but', so in that sense, she remains predictble only to break free from said predictability by not fleeing. he expects her to, seeing her move the container onto the blanket.[break][break]

it doesn't take long before he hears back from Melody Miro with the when and where. he would've hesitated if not for the commissioner's approval; this is the first step, he realizes, to mending his bridges with those he has wronged.[break][break]

despite the gloomy weather on their way over, the clouds now part, allowing for the sun to shine down on them with its blessing of a drought.[break][break]

he cranes his neck, making sure to stretch for what should be a momentous task to come.[break][break]

as the last line of her defense finally breaks, shattering from the insurmountable pressure and persistence he shows, so, too, does the red shard.[break][break]

"no!"[break][break]

it is not lost power he yearns for—he knows the red shard is nothing but a false promise—it is the folly of youth, the spirit, heart, and soul of the man he once was.[break][break]

should he find himself in the same situation with Hideo Kino now, he knows his words would be different. he would not seek to comfort; he would seek to empower.[break][break]

the matias that is here now is nothing more than a bully.[break][break]

"tch."[break][break]

it's usually others that do it for him—the media, for example, ran rampant after his relationship with Eva Morales ended, though he can't say he blames them. it was quite the scandal.[break][break]

instead of giving the topic a wide berth, he cautiously approaches, knowing this discussion—clarification, rather—is needed.[break][break]

"we've never really talked about what this is. about what we are."[break][break]

there's almost an innocent glimmer behind his eyes as he looks at her.[break][break]

"you shouldn't find yourself on the wrong side, then."[break][break]

and which side is that, one might ask; to that, he'd answer: 'whatever said he's not on.'[break][break]

no answer would leave him, however, as he is silenced by the sudden pain of shimmering energy plunging into his ruby-licked skin.[break][break]

"argh!"[break][break]

his entire being tenses against the pain of his flesh being pried apart. she doesn't have to reach very far in, not when most of the red shard sits along the edge of his skin.[break][break]

still, it feels unnatural.[break][break]

it feels wrong.[break][break]

"fucking hurry!"[break][break]

struck by an airy feeling, he seeks to ground himself in whatever way possible—the easiest of which presents itself through the nightmare that stands before him.[break][break]

angered by her defiance, he reaches for her hands over her mouth in an attempt to pry them away. his other hand holds the red shard that continues to survive the pressure of his balled fist.[break][break]

"open. your. mouth."[break][break]

a laugh escapes him at her line of questioning. he knows to expect it from her at this point which is comforting in its own way. it feels safe, despite everything.[break][break]

"i wanted everything to be perfect." or as close to it as possible. "my cooking's good but it's far from that."[break][break]

his gaze shifts briefly to the charred weaving, the memory of his picnic with Elisabeth Fiorelli immediately coming to mind.[break][break]

"oh. i used to picnic at chimney sometimes."[break][break]

not wanting to dwell on it, he moves to pull out their containers of food that are somehow still warm despite the long trek. after offering her one, he places his on his lap while he splits a pair of chopsticks. the edges are rubbed against each other to remove splinters of wood.[break][break]

it's with casual, natural bravado that matias walks through the hallowed halls of the league headquarters, a place he had never felt welcomed in; a place that ostracized him for his ambitions; a place that still needs him despite everything.[break][break]

but even stripped of his position, his accolades, and apparently his team, his bravado never falters. he is the only one allowed to weaponize his pride.[break][break]

"this looks like it was done by a child."[break][break]

on the table, he taps on the poster he tore off a wall on his way over.[break][break]

"you've yet to come see me since." since kyle lopez was killed. "why?"[break][break]

he's certain his boyish charm has a certain appeal to it, an allure so inviting that it has somehow managed to lead her to this random cliff in hoenn for a date that is both overdue and unfathomable at the same time. that is the essence of matias silph.[break][break]

"i made us food. i thought we could have a nice picnic with a scenic view."[break][break]

before they get to other thing, but that will come in due time.[break][break]

a bit away from the edge of the cliff—they're here for romance, but danger—he lays a blanket on the ground, sits down on it, and opens up a basket, its wood appearing slightly burnt.[break][break]

"and by made us food, i mean i bought takeout. it's the effort that counts. come, sit."[break][break]

north of the city, miles away from the nearest populace, and built into the briny cliffs of lilycove is a facility owned and operated by the league with the sole intention of housing one of their greatest assets that just so happens to also be one of their greatest liabilities.[break][break]

"before you give me shit about inviting you all the way out here for our date."[break][break]

he calls out to her as she approaches, stepping back from the side of the cliff, the drop high enough to kill even the mightiest of heroes.[break][break]
