Salac Berries

summary: some people say that enigma berries were the ones that represented love, but for Leon it was salac berries. i.e. Leon and Piers both love salac berries, but Leon lies about not liking them for Piers’s sake aka there is nothing more homoerotic than sharing your berries with someone else

Leon loved salac berries.

He’d always loved them, actually.

His mum said that it was because of her always eating them when she was pregnant with him, but Leon thought it was because Hop absolutely hates them, pushing the berries over to him whenever they were on his plate. As a good brother, Leon always ate them. He didn’t want to waste food, of course.

Now that he’s an adult, he’s able to buy salac berries anytime he wants. Even if it went against the Chairman’s dietary plans he could always say that they were for his pokemon.

He rarely buys them though. Not only because he doesn’t want Rose to become suspicious, but also because his pokemon just loves going through his fridge.

It’s especially bad for Haxorus to eat them as she does not like the taste of the berries at all, yet she just insists on eating them!

It always make her confused and she ends up accidentally hurting herself, so Leon would rather play it safe and not keep any of those berries in her reach.

Recently, however, Leon found himself buying more and more salac berries.

Of course he made sure to keep them locked up as they currently resided in his home office in a mini fridge (he refuses to admit that he had bought one just for the storage of salac berries). He didn’t want his pokemon getting sick after all.

It was to snack on, he told himself. Totally not because of a certain dark type gym leader who was currently sitting right next to him and happily munching on-

“Hey, Lee?”

“Mhm, yep?” Leon raised his head from the paperwork he was busying himself with, making a mental note to reprint the paper as a large inkblot had formed from his pen while he was busy thinking.

“Didn’t ya say ya didn’t like salac berries? Why’d you always got so much?” Piers asked.

It was an innocent question. A question that shouldn’t have caused Leon to sweat as much as he did. But not to worry! As champion, Leon knew how to keep a straight face, even lie if necessary.

“Ah well, the lady next door, her daughter runs a farm I think. She keeps handing me these berries every week!” Leon laughed, rubbing the back of his neck bashfully, “Says I could use them for my pokemon.. And I do sometimes. but ah- She’s just too kind, y’know? I’ve got too much for my pokemon to eat all by themselves, so it’s nice that you like them! I would feel bad if they got wasted..”

Leon lies right through his teeth like he wasn’t just searching every Wyndon super market for salac berries yesterday.

Piers seemed to buy it, to the champion’s relief, resting his head against the other’s shoulder. “Well, ye should try it sometimes, if you haven’t already. The sweet ‘n sour taste of it really melts in yer mouth, y’get?”

Leon cleared his throat (totally not from nervousness! He says, blushing), “Well I guess I was always repulsed from it because of Hop. He always talked about how horrible it tasted. But maybe I’ll try it?”

Leon apologized to Hop in his mind for throwing him under the bus like that, but a man has to do what he’s gotta do for love.

“How ‘bout I peel some for ye and you can try them now.” Piers casually said, detaching himself from the other as he immediately started to rid the hard skin from the berry.

Leon pretended like his heart didn’t skip a beat at the thought of the singer hand feeding him the berries as he quickly reached over to stop the other’s hands (which were slick with berry juice, eugh). “You really don’t have to, Piers! ‘M happy with you eating the berries by yourself!”

Piers quirked an eyebrow, setting down the already half peeled fruit. “Hey, if ya really don’t wanna eat it I won’t push, but what’s up with the reaction?”

Oh Arceus, this isn’t how he wanted it to go. He was just trying to make Piers not feel guilty for eating his food, but now he’s the one feeling guilty!

Leon gulped, slowly letting go of Piers’s hand as he put on a brave face, “No ‘s not that.. I.. I gotta try something different every now and then, yeah? I’m ready for it, Piers! Please peel some salac berries for me.”

The singer looked amused, shaking his head as he chuckled, continuing to peel the berry.

Does Leon feel a bit guilty lying to Piers about his love for salac berries? Yes, a little. Okay maybe a lot. But it was for a good reason! The first time he saw Piers eating a salac berry it just.. Made his heart flutter.

It was maybe a few weeks ago. Piers had come over unexpectedly with the excuse of needed a muse for his music and Leon couldn’t just not let him in.

He was in the middle of cutting up some salac berries for a snack when the singer popped into the kitchen after him.

Piers was looking for some affection, yes, but he couldn’t help but steal a slice of the fruit.

Piers had laughed so prettily when he saw the surprised look on Leon’s face, explaining how he loved salac berries, but just couldn’t spend that much money buying them (Piers knows that there’s a salac berry tree right near Spikemuth, but he isn’t one to interfere with nature, saying that he wasn’t a ‘gym challenger running blindly around in the wild’ anymore). Which is the exact moment that Leon decided to say that he was cutting these up for his pokemon.

Piers laughed again, music to Leon’s ears, teasing the champion about how he was cutting up fruit for them like they were his children (Leon would say that they were his children, but he was to be honest: he was too dumbstruck by Piers’s beauty).

Abruptly, something cold was pressed up against his lips and Leon was brought back to the present.

“Here mate, make sure ta savor it.” Piers smiled at him and Leon couldn’t help but smile back.

The champion tried to act like he was thinking about the flavor (and not thinking about how close Piers was to him), before a smile lit up on his face. Yep, definitely as good as he remembered.

“Oh wow, this is really good! You were correct, it does melt in your mouth!”

Piers hummed, picking up another fruit to peel for the other, “Guess we can share then.”

Leon nodded, disappointed that his plan didn’t work for the long term. But at least he was getting fed his favorite berries by his favorite person, right?

The guilt was really eating at him though.. He never liked lying.

“.. Piers?”

“Yes, sunshine?”

“... I kinda lied about not liking salac berries in the beginning.. Sorry..”

“Oh ‘s fine, I could tell.”

“W.. WHAT??"
