”Mmm… Good question!”
[break][break]
She hadn’t really thought that far ahead, and looking through her options, Ceri brings her index finger to her lips, the wool of her gloves feeling cold against them.
[break][break]
”Maybe peppermint? Oh… You don’t have to pay for mine, though.”
[break][break]
Date as this may be, she would feel guilty if he were to just pay for everything, even if it’s such a small thing – no matter how broke she may or may not be. Her reaction would perhaps be different if she were with just about any other guy, but regardless of that, she brings out her own Nidoran-themed wallet when paying for a cup of hot chocolate topped with a candy cane and a ridiculous amount of whipped cream.
[break][break]
”How’s yours? I don’t think I’ve ever had spicy hot chocolate before… Do you usually like spicy things, Eli?”
[break][break]
The question is asked absentmindedly as she watches a few snowflakes fall, taking a sip from her delightfully warm drink.

The sight of snow is all too familiar to her, bringing with it countless memories of a childhood spent at a place where its frozen presence never fades. It’s not the kind of thing she ever expected to see in Hoenn, but a mishap at the Weather Institute made the impossible possible for anyone visiting Route 119.
[break][break]
As a young researcher herself, she feels sympathy for those responsible for the accident.
[break][break]
As someone born and raised in Circhester, she fucking loves every single second of it.
[break][break]
”Oh! We should get some hot chocolate.”
[break][break]
Smiling as brightly as ever, she pulls @elliott towards a nearby hot chocolate stand without even waiting for a reply, taking full advantage of the effort she put into convincing him to come enjoy this impromptu snow day with her.
[break][break]
She’s excited and happy, and it’s like the cold doesn’t even bother her – as if she’s in her element.

If Ceri weren’t so damn exhausted and hadn’t drank so damn much, she would probably worry about a million things as they make their way to her room through the dark corridors of the sub. Like the fact that they’re soaking wet and will likely get sick, like the awful hangover that will inevitably come with it, like the water dripping on the floor, and even like how she probably looks a mess and wouldn’t want anyone to see her like this – specially not someone like him.
[break][break]
Exhausted as she is, she doesn’t think of any of those things.
[break][break]
She just holds onto him, gently squeezing his hand, and when they finally reach the door to her room, she turns to meet his gaze – considering his words. There’s a part of her that wants to tell him to stay, but that would just be awfully selfish of her.
[break][break]
”I’m okay, go get some rest... Thanks for tonight, I had fun… Even if it turned out like this.”
[break][break]
There’s a gentle yet tired laugh, an equally gentle goodbye kiss being placed upon his cheek. A peck and nothing more, just as she squeezes his hand one last time before letting go to open the door.
[break][break]
”Have a good night, Eli.”

It’s not like she wants him to apologize, or like she expects him to, because it isn’t really his fault. Even if it was, thoughts of where the blame lies are nowhere in her mind, because she’s too preoccupied with trying to get the hell out of the water while shivering intensely.
[break][break]
See, Ceri may have been born and raised in a city where snow falls almost perpetually, but that sure doesn’t make her immune to the effects of falling into cold water on a night of late Autumn.
[break][break]
”I–… It’s fine…” It’s not, but all she can do is exhale in relief once she makes it onto the dock, sitting there for a moment as she takes off her shoes. She’s tired, and freezing, and the wet clothes sticking to her body sure don’t help at all. How is it that things changed so easily in a matter of seconds?!
[break][break]
”Y-yeah… We’re... We're gonna get sick if we stay like this.”
[break][break]
So much for going back to his room.
[break][break]
Her arms cross in a futile attempt at keeping herself warm as she walks back towards the submarine’s entrance, and it’s only once inside that she properly looks over at him, reaching to take his hand with a tired and somewhat pitiful smile.
[break][break]
”...It’s not your fault, you know? Thanks for the help out there.”

”Eliiiiii. Don’t be mean.” Ceri whines, puffing up her cheeks as she protests against his teasing. In truth, she doesn’t really mind all that much, and that shows in the way she smiles gently as he leads her out of the bar.
[break][break]
Not once does she leave his side on their way down to the docks, holding tightly onto him, and while it’s enjoyable and there’s a certain comfort in it, it’s when they finally reach the submarine that this proves to be a fatal mistake on her part...
[break][break]
He slips, and because of how sluggish she feels thanks to all those shots, she’s too slow to react and let go. That’s how she ends up falling too.
[break][break]
”Fuck–!”
[break][break]
Curses rise in the air as their bodies go down into Sootopolis’ bay with a loud splash, a mouthful of salt water causing her to panic as much as suddenly being cold and wet does. It’s almost instinctively that she swims up to the surface, coughing up water the moment she breathes in air.
[break][break]
"Eli?!"

It’s all too obvious from the way he looks at her; that intense stare she has seen one too many times before. Craving. Just like the craving in the way she looks back at him, her gaze meeting his. And yet, when the question comes, it’s still unexpected and surprising, perhaps because she never imagined he’d be bold enough to blatantly say something like that.
[break][break]
Bless shots and liquid courage.
[break][break]
It’s still a little awkward even when he’s drunk, but that makes it endearing and almost sweet, and truth be told, drunk as she also is, Ceri barely notices it. She smiles brightly.
[break][break]
”Sure… I’d like that.”
[break][break]
There’s no witty comment, there’s no teasing words, there’s just the way she takes his hand – gently squeezing as she stands up, still so very close. And of course, she holds onto him then, hit by sudden dizziness.
[break][break]
”Woah… Remind me not to drink that many shots next time.”
[break][break]
She laughs, carefree and lighthearted.

’Maybe a little.’
[break][break]
She’d take that!
[break][break]
If only because it’s obvious that that’s probably much more than what he’d give most people.
[break][break]
”Aw, thanks! Now you’re pink too, though… We match!”
[break][break]
Smiling brightly, Ceri pokes his cheek just like he had poked hers, and as if without even realizing it, she moves a little bit closer. But, it’s then when he stands, and even though she tries not to, there’s a soft giggle when his fist meets the table.
[break][break]
”Rustboro? I didn’t know you’re from there! It always reminds me of…uhmm… Motostoke. I lived there for a bit when we first moved to Hoenn!”
[break][break]
For a bit, because things had been messy and complicated when she left Galar with her mother. The thought causes that usual cheer of hers to fade away for a second or two, only for Ceri to then grin and give him a wink with her next words:
[break][break]
”Imagine if we had been classmates, that would have been adorable. Bet you would have totally got better grades than me.”

”Ah!”
[break][break]
Instinctively, hands rise up to cup her own cheeks seconds after the poke, pouting when she looks up at him.
[break][break]
”Am I really?... Is it cute, at least?”

That’s what matters the most, no? Although, while usually that would be the sort of question she’d ask to fish for compliments and tease him a little in the process, after having had as many shots as she has, this time it’s asked honestly. Deep down, there will always be a part of Ceri that wonders things like those: Is she actually cute? Do people really see her that way?
[break][break]
Then again, it’s with a sip of beer that all those insecurities return to being buried as quickly as they are unearthed.
[break][break]
”Stupendous, huh? Didn’t think you’d be the type to use big words like those. Have you been hiding your inner nerd from me, Eli?”
[break][break]
Matching his grin with one of her own, she looks at him, her gaze filled with genuine curiosity.

Will Elliott win the shot war?
[break][break]
Yes.
[break][break]
Ceri knows as much too, but that sure as hell doesn’t mean she’s not going to take a few more shots anyways. Is it because she’s competitive and too stubborn to give up? No, not really, it’s more along the lines of her just thinking it’s fun.
[break][break]
Even if after a few shots she feels a little sluggish. Even if rosy hues begin to colour her cheeks.
[break][break]
”Mmm… I’m great! You?”
[break][break]
She beams, of course, sipping her beer, because sluggishness aside, she sure does feel amazing right about now.

”Wha–”
[break][break]
She can’t help but laugh lightly at his comment, looking at him like he just said the most hilarious thing in the world. Ceri may be many things, she may be incredibly smart and a good student and all that, but that sure as hell doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy things like going out for drinks. Hell, maybe she enjoys it a little too much sometimes.
[break][break]
”Eli! Of course I can take a shot! Actually, I bet I can take more than you.”
[break][break]
Ceri grins, but she probably shouldn’t, because no matter what she may say, that’s just a recipe for disaster when she’s as small as she is. She should know that better than most people, considering her field of studies, and yet here they are...

Usually, when Ceri goes out drinking with friends, they all sit by the bar and have some fun (or a little too much fun). This time, however, it’s just her and Elliott, and somehow a booth seems much better – more private, more intimate, a better way to enjoy their time together. Hell, she doesn’t even consider the “fans asking for autographs” part.
[break][break]
Once she slides in, she still stays close to him despite there being more than enough space in the booth.
[break][break]
”Shouldn’t I be the one saying that?”
[break][break]
There’s a soft laugh and a playful smirk that tugs at her lips as she takes one of the shot glasses and raises it.
[break][break]
”To a fun night together.”
[break][break]
He probably wouldn’t catch that one either, huh?
[break][break]
The shot is downed, and she takes a sip of beer, beaming.
[break][break]
”Your turn!”

There’s something way too fun about seeing him blush; in part because it’s thrilling to know that she can make him react like that and in part because it actually is adorable. No matter how much he may try to deny it, she’s right: he’s cute.
[break][break]
Still, she puffs her cheeks, as if only for a moment she were actually offended by the fact that he disagreed.
[break][break]
”But, Eli… You said I could decide, and I decided you’re really cute.”
[break][break]
Flawless logic.
[break][break]
How could anyone argue with that?
[break][break]
As if to spare him, she doesn’t say much more the rest of the way to the bar, simply walking next to him while being all too aware of the fact that he’s pouting. Once again, adorable.
[break][break]
”Good question! Bar can be fun, but a booth is more private, so I guess we can go with that.”
[break][break]
What do they even need privacy for?
[break][break]
She’ll let him figure that part out.

Is it up to her to decide?
[break][break]
Ceri tilts her head, considering his words for a second as she looks at him, because while it may be true that everyone has their opinions about everyone, don’t they also have a way they want to be perceived? A way they want others to see them? She sure does, at least.
[break][break]
”Mmm…”
[break][break]
She doesn’t really have time to say much else, because just as she had expected, her words seem to go right over his head. It makes her laugh, and gently squeezing his hand, she gives him a bright smile.
[break][break]
”Oh! I decided… You’re really cute.”
[break][break]
A grin, as genuine as can be.
[break][break]
”Lead the way, cutie.”
[break][break]
That part is just to tease him, obviously.

”Oh, ew... Do you have to like… Go to their offices and act all serious and everything?… Though I bet they have like whole hoards of pokémon for you to pick from, huh? Give you a whole selection!”
[break][break]
She can imagine it clearly, and it almost makes her feel bad for Priam for having to go through all that, but then again, he also doesn’t seem like the type of person who would be all that bothered by something like that.
[break][break]
Going around asking for pokémon, though? Boring!
[break][break]
The ‘melting them down’ part sounds way cooler… Because of the potential discoveries, obviously, not because Ceri is some sadistic weirdo who likes to see pokémon suffering. She’s mostly indifferent to that part of it.
[break][break]
”Priam! Do I look like the sort of person who has big chonky Steel-types?” She laughs, but what do those people even look like? ”I could give you one of my Muk, but that’d just make the lab smell bad.”
[break][break]
Melted Muk…
[break][break]
Should she try melting an Alolan one to extract their toxic crystals? That could work, couldn’t it?
[break][break]
Ceri ponders on it as she reaches for a slice of pizza.
