No.25. Perfect.

Ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/51114592

Words: 1,170

Cws: Referenced “sleeping around”, death of a best friend/boyfriend, funeral, implied dubious consent, Implied/Referenced Sex, implied hyper sexuality due to trauma, implied murder, crying

Prompt: No. 25: “You’re not delivering a perfect body to the grave.” Storm | Buried Alive | “They’re not breathing!”

Notes: Personal headcanon of mine that Red is the first dexholder to die, don’t bother talking to me about the other personal headcannons in this particular fic. (: I have no explanation for myself.

This is not exactly the correct vibe I was going for but it’s good enough.   

Written while listening to One Last Song by LORD OF THE LOST. (And Dem Beats by Todrick Hall but that’s not relevant.)

The sky was cloudy outside the small building, as if the smoke from Charizard’s tail had flooded the whole thing with charred gray when Blue had flown his mourning laps across the sky. Outside of the tiny windows, rain was beginning to fall. As cliche as it may have seemed, the world seemed to be crying for the tragedy that had fallen on it. It was crazy to think about it, but something was missing. Something that would never come back.

Blue felt tears drip down his face as he stared down at the body in the casket before him. Deep down, all of them had known it was coming, but none of them had expected it to happen so quickly. How could they have?

He had been so alive. So strong. Such a fighter.

Now, he lay lifeless and still, and Blue’s mind spun as he stared down at him.

He was beautiful.

He was pristine.

He was nothing if not perfect.

That shoulder length black hair, just as unruly in death as in life, lay still against the pillow. Though it was just as rebellious as the man it had once belonged to, it seemed somehow tamed by his stillness, and that simple fact sent stabs of pain through Blue’s chest. He just couldn’t seem to process what was happening, even with all of the violence and death he had seen, this hit the hardest.

Blue knew that Red couldn’t have gone down without a fight, but that awful stillness was just enough to steal his agency away from him one last time. (And Acreus knew it had been many times before.)

He looked so calm. So at peace. Just as if he were sleeping.

But Blue knew that Red had never looked that calm while he was alive. Even while he slept, his eyebrows had always been knit together, and he had always twitched and turned as he fought to fight those awful dreams that he had once confided in Blue about. Even when he had been happy, Red had never been calm, and those dark shadows in his eyes had always told Blue the truth of how he felt. Even in times of peace Red had never had a truly peaceful mind.

He’d never really had a chance to speak for himself. Even as one of the strongest trainers in the world, it was no secret that Red had been putty in much everyone’s hands. Even as someone known for fighting for every right and truth, Blue knew better than anyone how Red could sweep horror under the rug, rationalize what he was doing, pretend it was what he had wanted.

Pretend it was what he had wanted.

Blue wiped his eyes roughly with his sleeve.

Selfishly, he had loved Red for that lack of agency, that horrible weakness, but he knew he was nowhere near the only one who had. Even with the mortuary cosmetologist’s best attempts to fix his face with makeup, Blue could still see the bruises as they faded through the pale foundation. He could still remember that awful shock in those closed eyes when Red had first seen him looking at those “scars.” That horrible realization that his “secret” wasn’t so secret. (And Blue could still feel the awful stab of attraction that Red’s horror filled face had made him feel.)

Blue knew he had used Red as much as anyone else. No matter how much he wanted to forget, the shame kept burning inside him. No matter how much he tried to tell himself that he had done nothing wrong, that hot, sticky shame kept up bubbling deep within.

He had done everything wrong.

Blue balled his hands into fists, but he could do nothing but stare at the corpse that had once been his closest thing to love. Yes, love. Even though he had never been able to admit it to Red, Blue had loved him. Through everything they had been through, every battle, every day, every night, Blue had never told him. Now he would never get the chance.

How could he have ever done that to someone that he knew he loved?

Maybe he had thought Red was invincible. Red certainly seemed to have thought it. Running off with random trainers in the middle of the night… That wasn’t something he should have been doing. That wasn’t something Blue should have let him do.

Why hadn’t he helped when he could?

Why had he made it worse?

Through his actions, he had certainly intensified the problem, hadn’t he? Sure, he’d never told Red that it was all okay, but then again, he’d never asked him if he felt alright either, and wasn't that the most important part of all of this?

He'd never helped Red to get better, even though the signs of his struggle were so clear now in hindsight. Those handprints on his throat, the scratches that Blue knew lay across his back... All of it pointed so clearly to someone who had desperately needed help.

Help that Blue had never given him. He’d never even thought to let him ask for it.

Blue suddenly felt sick to his stomach, and he took a shaking step backwards, trying anything to get away from the body of the one he had once loved.

The one he still loved.

Instead of helping him like a lover should have, Blue had taken him as the toy he had made himself out to be. Blue had taken him at face value, unable to see through what he had wanted to see. Only now that he was gone, could Blue tell what had truly happened. Only now could Blue see what he could have done, what he should have done, what he would have done if he had known what was coming.

This hadn't been the first time Red had been bent to someone else's will against his own, not by a long shot, but it was the last. Blue felt sudden tears coming fast down his face, and the body in the casket blurred and warped before him as they did. He felt like an idiot. He was such a fool.

Red had been so much more than what had taken him.

He’d been caring, loving, careful, creative, a fighter through and through. He’d saved so many lives, so many stories, so many experiences. He’d won through so much with his ingenuity and strength. So many things that Blue knew not just anyone could have done. So many things that he would never again be able to brag about around a campfire. So many things that were now history.

So many battles won.

A tragedy.

A final loss.

The media may be crying over the loss of their “perfect” trainer, but Blue knew better.

Red had been perfect for all but one flaw, and it had killed him. Shiny black hair. Glowing red eyes. Skin paler than death itself.

He had been perfect for Blue.

Now he was gone.

Is there a way I can read all your ship asks? I can’t seem to find them (I read your preciousmetal one and really enjoyed it)

And if you haven’t done it yet, can you do originalshipping?

Hm if you mean that ask game from a couple years ago I don't have a tag for my asks, so you'll probably just have to scroll through my blog for them, sorry. I don't remember what I said about preciousmetalshipping lol but I'm glad you liked it.

I like that we see Red and Blue's relationship evolve more than most other dexholders. They get to go from disliking each other to respect to friends to best friends to whatever romance XY implies. That's something preciousmetal is missing, a genuine sense of growth, both as people and together as a relationship. Their entire relationship in RBG is set up as them becoming more like each other, and shoring up their weaknesses with each other's strengths. We get to see them grow up together, and their growth is almost always related to each other, like how the kalos kids note that Blue has become a romantic in XY and Blue immediately starts talking about Red as the cause. And I love that they've become inseparable to the point that Yellow just assumes Red will be with Blue when she goes to visit him in frlg. Kusaka really got the rivals to lovers dynamic down with them

Though I feel the same way about original as I feel about preciousmetal and mangaquest, that the dexholders are best off when they're in the groups they were designed for, so I kinda like Red, Blue, and Green in a poly relationship more. I'm not as big on it as johtoshipping but I still think they're best off like that personally

I Can't Lose You Part 2

Notes: Originalshipping, hints of Mangaquestshipping and Ambershipping

Zombie Au

“Medicine check, water check, ammo check, food……” Gold winced as he looked up at Red who glared at him. “We couldn’t find any.” He mumbled making Red frown. Well this wasn’t good.

“We need food. Tomorrow we will take a bigger group. Maybe with more pair of eyes we can find something.” Gold nodded before he walked off as Red got stuck into his own thoughts. They have taken shelter in this cottage for about four months now and things have been going smoothly. And Green has finally gotten over that fear of his, so that helps too.

“You okay?” He heard a voice ask from behind him. Turning around, he smiled when he saw it was Green and nodded. “You want to go into town tomorrow with us?” Green shrugged. “Sure why not. It gets boring around here.”

The next day Crystal, Silver, Gold, Green and Red headed into town for supplies, mostly food. It was a small town, barely anything in it and Red decided they needed to keep moving. They can’t stay at that cottage forever, especially if there was no food around. “Okay guys I think that is it. We searched the entire town and nothing.” Gold said as he winced.

“Looks like we have to leave the cottage and keep going.” Red stated, the others agreeing with him. They were just about to head back to camp when a dead one appeared out of no where. It screamed in it’s raspy voice as it extended it’s arms to grab onto Crystal, who gasped. “Crystal!”

She screeched when it bit into her hand before she managed to stab it in the head, gasping as she stared at her hand. She huffed as she grabbed the axe off her hip and handed it to Silver. “Cut off my hand!” She demanded, getting a confused stare.

“Cut off my hand before it spreads through my body you idiot!” She screeched getting Silver to move. “This is going to hurt.” Silver warned as Gold grabbed her other hand for support. She nodded before she closed her eyes as Silver brought down the axe hard and fast. Crystal screamed as Gold hugged her, hushing her before he ripped off a piece of his shirt and held it in front of her. She nodded before she let the golden eyed male stuff the piece of cloth into her mouth.

Green flinched as he turned to look away. He really couldn’t watch as Silver brought the axe down again, hoping it would get through the bone this time. Red crouched down and placed his hand onto Crystal’s knee for support as he gave a few tips to Silver who huffed as he nodded, raising the axe once more over his head.

With one more forced swing, her hand came off with Crystal whimpering as Gold picked her up bridal style as Green grabbed a lighter and a piece of round metal. Heating the metal up, he turned and gave Crystal a nod, who nodded weakly back, before he placed it on the wound. “This will help stop the bleeding.”

Red quickly got into the van while Gold carefully got into the back with Silver who was holding a first aid kit. “You guys got her?” Green asked before he got nods and shut the doors. With that Green looked around the area quickly as he walked towards the passenger side before he slipped in.

It was a tense silent ride. Crystal was passed out as the two boys in the back with her did everything they could while Red glared at the road. “Red?” Said male looked quickly over at his lover before back to the road before he let out a breath. “That could have been you.”

Green smiled sadly as he placed a hand on his boyfriends arm. “But it wasn’t. It was Crystal and we need to be there for her right now.”

“I know, but I can’t stop thinking about it. What if it was you? I should have never asked you to come with us.” Green frowned before he glared out the window. Well that wasn’t fair. “Look. I can handle myself now, hell Crystal has been able to handle herself every time she came out here. It just came out of no where. How on earth could we possibly know this would happen?”

Red stayed silent as he turned a corner, he knew Green was right. But he couldn’t help it, he didn’t want to lose him. “You’re right. We didn’t know this was going to happen, but I can’t lose you so you are staying home next time.”

“God dammit Red! Stop overprotecting me over everything! If you can’t have me in the field without me distracting you then I will break up with you!” Green hissed. The raven haired male was shocked. He never thought Green would ever use those words against him.

“That isn’t fair.” Red said as he gripped onto the wheel even harder. “It isn’t fair for you to make me sit around because you think I can’t protect myself. I can’t even go for a walk without you freaking out because a dead one can come out of no where and kill me.”

“It happened today didn’t it!?” Red snapped as he pulled over. “Crystal was experienced but she was still bit. If it wasn’t for her quick thinking then she would be dead by now.”

“Why can’t you just get the hint that I can protect myself! I know it happened to her! I was there when Silver chopped her hand off! Doesn’t mean that it will happen every time Red.”

They both went quiet when Silver tapped on the window. “Is everything ok in here guys?”

Green huffed as he opened the door and got out. “Silver you can ride up here. I’m going to the back.” Silver blinked before he slowly nodded, he had no idea what was going on. He silently walked around the van before he slipped inside, closing the door. Great now he was stuck with Red who was angry. He was freaking scary when he gets angry.

Green climbed into the back and slammed the door closed as he sat down on the other side of Crystal. Gold looked over and gripped onto the seat when the van started moving again. “Everything ok?”

Green just glared at him before he huffed. “Sorry just ignore me. How is Crystal doing?” Gold nodded as he grabbed her hand. “She’s a strong girl. She will be fine.” Green nodded as the both of them went silent. This was going to be a long ride. “Got into a fight with Red?”

Green glared at Gold before he looked away. “Yes.”

“Want to tell me about it?”

Green chuckled bitterly. “What so you can run your mouth off and tell everyone? No thanks.” Gold frowned as he shifted. “Wow thanks.” Green closed his eyes as he started to feel guilty. “Sorry. I’m just mad right now.”

“No I get it. I know you usually go to Crystal about your problems, but she is out for now. So if you want to just rant about everything go ahead.”

Green chuckled. “When are you going to tell her you have feelings for her?” Gold rolled his eyes as he looked down at her. “I don’t have feelings for her.”

“But you do. So now I have a question for you. Why date yellow when you can tell your feelings to Crystal?”

“Because she is dating Silver.” Green blinked before he laughed. “No she isn’t. They are just really close friends.”

“Wait what?” Green smiled as he shrugged making Gold get lost in his thoughts. It was silent for a few moments before the van stopped, telling both males that they arrived at the cottage. Green sighed as he opened up the back before he climbed out, helping Gold who was carrying Crystal again, out of the van as well.

Watching Gold and Silver worry about Crystal made Green feel like she was protected. He really can’t lose his best friend. She knew everything about him and vise versa. He leaned back against the van as everyone surrounded his best friend before he looked over to see Red walking towards him. He really didn’t want to deal with him right now.

“What? Scared that I could hurt myself while I stand here?” Green snapped as he crossed his arms across his chest, glaring at the taller male who sighed. “Look. I have been thinking that maybe you’re right. I need to stop trying to protect you so much. I know you can handle yourself now but I can’t seem to help it. I promise you that I will try to let you do your own things without me freaking out about it.”

Green smiled before he leaned up to kiss his overprotective boyfriend before hugging him. “Thank you. That’s all I want.” He whispered, smiling even wider when he felt Red hug him a little bit tighter.

Red nodded before letting him go. Green was right, he always was. He needed to take a step back and worry about the others as well. He just needed to learn to trust Green about this. He could try to do that. He just hope it wouldn’t kill him in the end.

Lost?

An OriginalShipping oneshot 

AO3

Prompt: Red gets lost on the ice mountain and Green panics and thinks history is repeating itself.

Warnings: Implied suicide and general darkness 

Green groaned, rubbing his face. Why he and Red had to return to Mt. Silver, he had no idea. Red had made some, even for him, vague hand gestures, stared at him for five minutes straight without blinking (Green was still trying to figure out where Red’s eyedrops were for him to do that), then released Charizard before leaving, probably just expecting Green to follow him to who-knows-where.

Of course, Red had been right. Not even ten minutes had passed before Green had gone right after him. Keeping his eyes on that small orange dot before him, Green had begun to shiver before he realized where exactly Red was heading.

His old haunt.

Though Red didn’t even try and hide, or at least Green didn’t think he was, he still couldn’t find him as he landed near the top of the mountain; in the same place Green used to land all those other times.

Green shivered again, wrapping his arms around himself. This time, not due to the sharp snowflakes sizzling against his skin.

Green held his hand over his eyes, squinting his eyes and peering about outside. All that stretched on for miles and miles and miles was a giant expanse of harsh white, only broken up by the grays of the thick sky and the mountain.

Green blinked hard, snorting. He couldn’t stand being on this damn mountain for five minutes, let alone years like Red.

Rolling his eyes to himself, Green turned to hurry into the small hole in the mountain side. It was warmer without the blistering wind, but puffs of smoke still escaped Green as he trailed up the too familiar pathway to the top of the mountain.

However, as Green emerged from the cave into the too familiar clearing that had been Red’s home for much too long in his opinion, not a single speck of scarlet touched his eye.

Red wasn’t there.

Green ignored how his chest suddenly tightened up. He was probably getting frostbite or something stupid by now. He ignored how hard he began to bite the inside of his cheek. Pain would make the cold easier to ignore. Green ignored how the snow was so cold it burned as he ran out into the disgusting weather, screaming Red’s name.

The howling wind drowned him out, stealing Green’s voice away.

Panic set in Green’s mind.

“Red! Goddamnit, where the fuck are you?!” Green screamed. “Why the fuck did you wanna come back to this shitty place? Where are you?!” Green ran around the perimeter of the clearing multiple times, struggling to stay close to rocks and overhangs to help his reddening skin. “You didn’t even tell me to bring a coat! That’s an assholish thing to do, you know! You don’t just tell someone to not bring a coat when you’re planning on- on taking them to freezing places like this!” Green angrily wiped at his eyes.

“Red!”

Green suddenly froze where he was standing, dread freezing him to his very marrow. “No,” he murmured to himself. “No, no, no.” Green whipped around. In the distance, almost swallowed by the eternal blizzard, Green stared at the thick steps caused by erosion leading to the pinnacle of the mountain.

“No, no, not again.” Green slogged through the thick snow. He couldn’t seem to push himself to go any faster even though he wanted to. Clambering up the steps, nearly falling down several times, Green gasped for air that wasn’t trying to tear his lungs apart. None was there.

“R- Red!” Green screamed once he reached the top.

Green had expected to see Red standing on the edge, his back towards him. Had expected to see him give him one last look before- before-

Disappearing. This time for good.

Green was already poised to reach out, to haul Red back from that dangerous edge, to hug him close to his frozen body and give him a tongue lashing like never before while wiping the tears that leaked from his eyes on Red’s hat.

However, Red was not standing at that edge. In fact, he was a few feet away from it, digging in the snow.

“R- Red? W- What a- a- are you d- doing?” Green stumbled up the rest of the way and towards Red. Thick, hot relief filled his chest.

Red turned to look at him, a flash of shock and worry crossing his face seeing Green. Quickly releasing Charizard again, Red ordered him to curl around Green, warming him up.

Green leaned into the pokemon, a soft groan escaping him as his bones began to ache.

Red sighed in relief before returning to digging through the snow.

Green didn’t even try to ask what he was doing. He continued to stare on, the horror that had pierced in him still taking its time to drain away.

Finding what he was looking for, Red straightened up with a small nod, smiling to himself. Picking his way to Green, he opened his hand to show what he had forgotten.

A note. A note encrusted with ice and snow and dirt. It was unreadable.

“You- you came b- back here f- for a piece of- of paper?!” Green snapped. Before Red could do anything, Green snatched the note up from Red and held it over Charizard’s tail tip, burning it to a crisp.

Charizard snorted and battered Green’s head with his wing.

Green huffed angrily through his nose, glaring at Red hard. Instead of looking angry, or even upset, Red’s face broke out into a large grin. He hugged Green tightly, pressing their chilled cheeks together.

“You- you wanted that to be destroyed? Is that why you came back?”

Instead of answering, Red pulled back to caress Green’s cheek with the back of his hand. Still smiling, Red leaned in and pressed a small kiss to Green’s lips.

Green gasped, but kissed back as best he could. “Next time, can you at least write down why you wanna run off to this dump?”

Red sighed, shaking his head.

However, he wasn’t saying no.

I don’t ever want to come to Mt. Silver again.

Green sighed in relief and pulled Red close. “Let’s get the hell outta here.”

Red nodded in agreement.

hello my people i am back

[moonwitchify]

POKESPE RPG AU

Red

With absurd amounts of energy and strength, Red's a full force fighter that can bring even the largest enemies down with his bare hands. He was a bit inexperienced when he started his journey, but he managed to learn a lot with his rivalry with Green and his adventures. Red's determination is unshakable. Thanks to never giving up, he managed to get close to Green and get him to open up. Their relationship is quite confusing to others, as they act like a couple sometimes. They don't seem to realise that, however. He's a bit naive when it comes to Blue's manipulation, so she can usually trick him quite easily, much to Green's annoyance. Yellow is like a little sister to him, and he seems oblivious to the crush she has on him.

Green

An extremely intelligent and dexterous battle wizard, Green was trained under Chuck at a young age. Brute strength isn't really his thing, so he abuses in speed with his trusty rapier and fast, trained spellcasting. He used to have a hard time against unpredictable opponents, but he learned with Red how to adapt and be creative in battle. Green used to be a lone wolf, but Red refused to give up on him and stuck to him until he accepted another human being into his life. Green's comfortable with Red in his personal space and even goes as far as to some times seem touchy with him, which only increases the other's suspicion on what they have going on. Blue seems to have trouble getting her way with him and they didn't get along at first at all, but they eventually grow to be in good terms. He took Yellow as his apprentice and she's now like a child to him.

Blue

Blue is a rogue that abuses way too much her charisma. She can talk her way out of pretty much anything and doesn't hesitate to manipulate people. When she can't get what she desires in the good old cunning way, she just stealthily steals. It's said that she always gets what she wants. She isn't afraid of using her "woman weapons" to get her way with men. For some reason, that doesn't seem to work with Green. Although she can be a bit manipulative, she's extremely loyal to her friends and even takes care of them in her own way. She's very close to Red, Green and Yellow since they've been through so much together.

Yellow

If you need a healer, Yellow's got your back. She's always happy to help those in need, no matter if they're good or bad people. She dislikes fighting but if her friends need her, she can wreck anyone with her crossbow precise shots. She was taken under Green's wing and learned most of her battling skills from him. Yellow seems to have a small crush on Red, to which he's oblivious. Blue and Yellow get along quite well, although Blue sometimes makes jokes of her crush on Red, which never fail to get her flustered.
