adamant: (♛ fight)

24th roar [ video ]

[ The feed clicks on and immediately, what captures the attention is the rising and falling sound of foreign music blasting through the Gym. Clair's Gym, to be precise: Leon is taking on his last Gym leader.

Well, 'taking on' is perhaps strong. More like, Clair's Dragonite is in the final throes of agony, wrapped up in Flood's tentacles, heavily poisoned, getting blasted with Ice Beam. From the viewpoint, just over Leon's shoulder, it becomes obvious his Raichu is the culprit here, filming the proceedings with occasional peeping encouragements to her teammate.

Dragonite doesn't last long, and eventually goes slack. Flood's tentacles are suddenly holding nothing more than a vanishing red light. The music dissipates, replaced by the usual victory fanfare. Raichu, as well as Lightning, Sen and Strike in the stands, explode into cheers—or in Lightning's case, soft applause. Leon himself isn't one for overly emotional displays, so Flood gets a few proud pats and a promise of well-earned rest for his trouble.

Raichu leaps down from Leon's shoulder as he collects his HM and prize money. As he turns to make his exit, Lightning strides up, the camera catching on her pleased expression. ]


They did well. You did well.

Thanks.

[ The view is mostly obscured by Raichu's meager height, but Lightning steps in very close and Leon's arms wind around her shoulders and she tilts her chin up--

Goodness.

A moment passes, before the two abruptly break apart, apparently having noticed their audience. As Raichu scrambles back, the camera tilts high enough to catch the two of them looking incredibly uncomfortable. ]


Turn that off.

[ And off it goes. ]



[[ooc: pink is Lightning; tags may come from both of them as soon as Silver gets online. As for me, a busy class schedule means I may have to leave shortly, so don't worry if I disappear.]]

Of course I'm not. But it was cute.

[It was just a kiss. A single, simple kiss. Why is everyone so surprised or awed or calling it cute again?]

If you say so.
soggypastry: (can trust my back to him)

[sigh. Her blush has faded already, but...well, maybe a little.] More annoyed than anything. This isn't the way we wanted anyone to find out.

Wait, you mean... how many people knew?

Just you. [a slight pause of thought, then she shrugs.] A few others might have guessed there was something going on, but only you knew for sure.

... Why didn't you say anything before now?

[Glance over at Leon, then back at the screen as she shrugs a bit.]

Do you really see either of us announcing this kind of thing?

No, but when you know people like Minnie...

Who didn't find out until today. We can keep a secret, Rise.

[They're actually good at that, really. Helps sometimes.]

[Iconface. She's not getting it, really. Not getting it at all.]

Then what is your point?

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That they'd want to know! I'd be pretty hurt if you hadn't told me!

[Sigh. She's got a point, but neither of them really talk at all, let alone about this kind of thing.]

It's a good thing you knew, then. It would have been a while before either of us actually told anyone about it.

[Especially since a certain L-Word has yet to be exchanged. Things are so slow with these two.]

So why didn't you? [Honestly curious; Rise could have told at any moment since she learned, but she hadn't. why?]

[video]

[ she makes a tiny moue at that. ]

Gee, Light, I'm not that much of a tattletale. You had a hard enough time getting this far, yeah? I figured I'd let you take care of it.

I know. [soft smile; still kind of embarrassed it was all caught on tape, but...] Thanks, Rise.
