CHAOTIK OHHH MY GOSH I AM BLOWN AWAY

I can't believe this, it's so beautiful. The composite of the team and Y/n is stunning and I adore how smoothly it flows from one side to the other, letting the 'mons have their little places but keeping the vigilante and Hydreigon front and center! I'm trying to not cry over how beautiful they gather around the soothe bell. It's so sweet and I'm melting over this entirely!!! It's also a treat to see so many Pokemon in their different sizes and shapes together as a team ♥

OH! And I am obsessed with rendering and textures and lighting. I love that the warehouse gives this feeling of gloomy darkness but the light and the team all gathered underneath it promises that everything will be okay. The little glow and sparkles to the soothe bell hanging from Hydreigon's neck are such a lovely effect.

I also love the little forehead touch between Y/N and Hydreigon. You can immediately see how close their bond is and the love they share as he wears the soothe bell. Absol looking up with a gaze of awe is beautiful, and his fur is so well down and wonderfully shaded. I've been staring at Milotic's tail for the last 3 minutes and I'm obsessed with the shine and how beautifully you captured the pattern. Ah, Banette is adorable with her pose and how close she is to Scoliopede! Ogling how Scolipede's shell and colors work under the lighting and how gorgeous he's done! Corviknight's is done so perfectly, from his pose to his eyes, ohhh I love the different textures of feathers and metal!

I've read your drabble several times and I love it dearly. I love how it captures the struggle and their current situation of figuring things out and dealing with the harshness of the past. The last little bit about bells and ribbons is *mwah* Perfection!

This is amazing and I am in awe! Thank you so much for sharing! ♥

“Hydreigon is struggling.

Today marks the second time he has snapped at one of his own team members in so many days. He has never gone too far, and any minor scuffles end before you can even intervene, but you can see it in his eyes.

The frustration.

The anger.

Guilt sinks in your heart like a needle as you are reminded you are the one that put those in him, just as they were placed into you. It's what you grew up with. What you both grew up with. What any training you both did was based on. It made you unstoppable, but now more than ever you can see how it has hurt you.

You hate that it hurts him too.

He's trying.

You know he is.

A certain level of aggression is natural in his species. It was thoroughly encouraged and intensified as he grew. As he evolved. But so did your bond. It brings a lump to your throat when you realize that he values the latter the most. When you see him trying to hold back, to reign in, to use less force.

He trusts you.

He has tried his best to follow this new path you settled on. This path so different from all he knows. From everything you have asked from him.

You couldn't call yourself a trainer if you didn't in good conscience do everything you can to help him.

And so here you are.

You beckon him closer and easily slide the ribbon of the soothe bell around his neck. Your first gift to him that is untouched by the wealth of the Aftons.

He seems a bit confused, but when the soft chime echoes inside the old warehouse that has become your temporary refuge, his eyes slide close for a moment. Some of the tension that has been ever present in him these last couple of days melts away. You bump your forehead against his, just like you used to do when he was a small Deino, and softly smile as your whole team comes closer.

When Hydreigon open his eyes again, everyone is gathered.

They are also concerned about their teammate. They seem to sense the significance of the bell, going by how they all curiously regard it.

It's nothing but a small help, but you hope it will make things easier until he can get used to this new routine.

Ha.

You wish they made these for people as well.

...

Though, come to think of it. There has been a couple of bells that have caught your eye lately.

You can't stop your smile from turning into a mischievous one.

Perhaps it's time you snatched a small accessory for yourself as well. Hydreigon will be happy to match, you think.”

happy belated birthday io! i’m sorry i’m a tad bit late i’ve been yk on academic grind but this is for you! i’m just reposting some old stuff mwah mwah @seijoh​ @writeiolite​

how would you like to spend your day off?

you’d imagine yourself being wrapped up under your fluffy duvet, listening to your favorite playlist as you sip the hot chocolate with tiny marshmallows and chocolate drizzles on top. maybe even have a chinese take-out instead of cooking for lunch, oh, and pizza for dinner. yes, that would be perfect.

your boyfriend, on the other hand, figured that it would be cute to drag you out on a sunny day to the amusement park. of course, you have told him that one particular time, saying a perfect date includes going on crazy rides, playing arcades, eating churros and buying matching headbands. but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you wanted that type of date, today. no. that's not it.

however.

you find yourself in the middle of a large crowd, with his arms thrown over your shoulder, hugging you close. his brooding figure acts as a shield from the harsh jostles of the excited homosapiens who are beyond giddy to be at the amusement park with their loved ones.

the wind blows your hair, making it askew and you can hear your boyfriend chuckling before pulling your hair behind your ears.

“you look like a mess babe.” he chortles, a soft smile plastering on his beautiful face as the sun shone directly on his face, accentuating his long lashes and beautiful dark orbs.

“shut up, tooru.”

going on rides with oikawa tooru, now, that’s a whole fun journey.

the way his face morphs from his usual cocky grin, flex shoulders into a look of pure terror, loud high-pitched shrieks and his hand gripping tightly onto the metal handle. of course, this is the man you fell into with.

the way his legs almost look like jell-o once the two of you got off the rides, the way he had to hold onto the railing for support, the way the sweats sheen on his forehead.

“babe, can we take a break first? i can’t do this anymore.” he says weakly, sounding almost like a whisper.

giggling as you drag him towards the snack kiosk, you offer him a soft smile. “of course, you big baby.”

oikawa has his head resting on the table as his arm stretched, and his fingers fiddling with yours, twirling lazily on top of yours. this small gesture - tiny, yet endearing, it makes your heart blooms like a field of flowers in spring.

“tooru,” you start, “you know you don't have to go on the rides if you don’t want to, right?” you say gently as you play with his dark locks.

he peeks a look at you, looking dejected and sad.

“tooru.”

“but you’re happy.” he whispers softly, it is muffled with the wind.

“what?”

“i’ll keep going on the rides because they make you happy,” he sits up straight, eyes boring into yours. “you look so happy and you’re laughing a lot. so, of course i will endure with my poor, weak heart.”

if it wasn’t due to the fact that you’re out in the public, you would have leap into his lap and start sobbing, but you keep it in your mental checklist that you will do it once you get home.

you let your boyfriend calm his pounding heart before pulling him to more rides.

oh.

and oikawa also insisted on buying the matching headbands - saying that it is essential for an amusement park date, so you let him choose the bunny ears headband - the pink one for you, and the blue one for him. his smile is blinding, it makes your heart flutters.

the sun is almost setting into the horizon. the sky is shifting from the light blue with fluffy clouds into a warm mixture of dark orange, purple, pink and darker shades of blue. the hues combined like an abstract painting on a white canvas, as if someone splutters the colors messily onto the sky, decorating them beautifully.

your hands locked with oikawa’s as the two of you enjoy the evening breeze on the big swing, the beautiful sky reflected in his eyes as his feet kick into the air, rosy cheeks and soft smile, hair messy from the harsh wind.

you tug his hand to get his attention.

he stops talking as his gaze averts to your face, eyebrows raised in confusion. “yes?”

exhaling through your nose. you feel as if there is nobody else on the ride, just the two of you. it feels great. amazing. just, perfect. to spend the whole day with him. beautiful.

“i love you, tooru.”

you lean in for a kiss. once. twice. deepening the kiss, as the ride still moves.

the scene almost looks like a picturesque cinematography of a romantic movie. the sky. the intertwined fingers. the kiss. you. oikawa tooru.

his soft lips brushing against yours, delicate, gentle. it is the kind of kiss that breaks open the sky. it steals your breath and gives it back. it shows you love, the intensity, the depth, it’s like no other - just with him, oikawa tooru, only he has the power to make you feel like this.

the ride slows down.

your heart burst into deep shades of red - pure passion, pure love.

eyes beaming with bliss.

“i really love you, tooru.”
