heh. tender kieflor for thought. the sillies. the smitten guys (set in florian's pov, btw! florian uses he/they here)

“I’m done with the bathroom, Kieran, if you want to—oh.” Kieran’s snore punches through the silence, making them chuckle quietly. “Nevermind, then.”

Carefully and very slowly, they crawl onto their side of the bed, pulling part of the covers away from Kieran’s prying hands and over themselves. He’s all curled up on his side, his face scrunching up so cutely every now and then.

Kieran looks peaceful, this time. He isn't trembling in his sleep, his face isn't marred by worried lines and heavy-set eyebags. It.. reminds them of his old self. Kieran's different now, though—a little more confident, a little more outspoken. A little more damaged, but a little happier, too.

And yet, he hasn't changed much at all—he's still the same lovely, kind boy who offered them a candy apple, all those months ago. He still rambles on and on about pokemon battles and everything else he likes. He still plays with his hair whenever he gets nervous or excited or just to do something with his hands.

He's still the same Kieran they've always known and loved.

Gently, they tuck a stray piece of hair behind his ear, a small smile ghosting the edges of their mouth. 

“Goodnight, Kieran,” they whisper, blinking sleepily. “I hope you sleep well. Sweet dreams.”

[lunerians]

y’all i posted this wip on twitter and completely forgot to post it here too LMAO

Kieran's cheeks burn as he shoots a glare at his snickering sister. "Wha—that's not true—okay, well, it's kinda true—b-but it's not what you think! Florian wanted to stay in touch since we were both going home over the break, so we decided on sending each other letters since I don't have a phone yet!!"

"I dunno, Kiki, sending letters every single week in this day and age is kinda roma—"

"Don't listen to whatever she says, Penny," Kieran cuts in. He is not having this conversation when Florian is literally five feet away from them. He quickly glances at them, who, fortunately, doesn't seem to have noticed yet. Oh, nice! Their Sylveon just knocked out Nemona's Goodra with hyper voice. "She's just a little salty that Florian didn't send her any letters."

"Wh—I am not salty!" Carmine huffs, crossing her arms over her chest. "I have their phone number, so, unlike you, I can talk to him anytime I want."

"I bet Florian didn't text you even once."

Kieran absolutely delights in the look of denial and indignation that crosses Carmine's face. "Of course he did!" she retorts, grabbing two fistfuls of her hair. Then she looks away. "... Twice."

Hehehehehehe. "Figures."

[lunerians]

meow…. debating on rewriting this slightly since kieran calling florian hot feels… odd. or at least since he’s arospec and im arospec so i’m drawing on my own experiences. really fun writing kieran like this though. silly goofball going through normal teenage feelings <3

Kieran glances over to look at them and—wow, the way wind is rippling through their hair is kinda hot—WAIT. PAUSE. DID HE JUST SAY THAT FLORIAN WAS HOT?? THE MOST IMPORTANT FRIEND IN HIS LIFE, AND HE JUST THOUGHT THEY LOOKED HOT??

Well, now that he's thinking about it, it's not like Florian isn't a… attra… attract—nice to look at. They are! Especially since their honeyed eyes look so bright and warm underneath the sunlight, and their tousled hair looks so—

NO!! STOP STARING AT YOUR FRIEND, YOU GOODRA!! STOP IT!! Kieran shuts his eyes and whips his face and body forward. "You first."

[lunerians]

*checks the date* OH NO ITS WEDNESDAY.... erm. the scene i've been working on lately has been giving me a lot of trouble, so here's the latest revision! i actually kinda like this one more ^_^

"You promised," Kieran murmurs quietly. "Why are you breaking our promise? Why are you lying to me again? I'm… I'm not asking you to tell me your deepest secrets; I just—I want you to be honest with me."

"I am! I—"

"No, you aren't, Florian. You've been wheezing the entire time we've been walking, and you refused to take a break even when I offered to stop. If you keep going like this, you're gonna faint before we make it back! What am I supposed to do if that happens, huh? What am I supposed to do if something really serious happens to you? We don't have any doctors—the closest one's all the way in the city, and that's hours away." 

Kieran squeezes Florian a little tighter, his hands digging into their clothes. "... A few minutes isn't gonna kill us, Florian. Not as long as you're still okay."

Florian goes still in Kieran's arms. "... Oh."

And that's all they say.

[lunerians]

squeaking by the end of wip wednesday, but i finally wrote about florian!! i missed them... also. the kids are being silly and goofy again. who would've known (certainly not me, the writer)

"Hey guys! We're—woah. What happened here? Did Nemona start eating again by accident?"

Kieran turns at the sound of Florian's voice, shrugging as Carmine and Kieran join the rest of the group at the picnic table. Florian wanders over to Kieran's side as Arven and Nemona start bickering again over… something. "Yeah, somethin' like that; does... does this happen a lot?"

"Mhm. Arven likes to wait until everyone's ready to start eating, but sometimes Nemona gets too hungry looking at all the food and ends up caving in and stealing a few bites when no one's looking. Not that she's very successful, of course, because Arven catches her every time. Not that I blame her either—Arven's a seriously amazing cook. Even I have to stop myself from drooling whenever he makes caprese salad… Oh my Arceus he made caprese salad again."

Kieran watches as Florian slinks their way over to the caprese salad platter, a weird and definitely suspicious smile on their face. "Since everyone's here, can we start eating now, right Arven?"

Arven looks up from his bickering and blinks at Florian. "Huh? Oh yeah, sure. Just don't eat too much of the caprese salad or—" Before Arven can even finish his sentence, Florian fills their whole plate with caprese salad and a single egg salad sandwich. Arven just takes one long, blank look at Florian's plate and sighs. "I don't even know why I try sometimes."

"Don't worry so much! I promise I won't eat as much as I did last time, so you don't gotta worry about me being stranded in the restroom for that long again."

"... You say that every time you eat something dairy-related."

Florian stuffs a slice of cheese and tomato into their mouth, chewing with a soft smile on their face. "Still worth it. Anything is for cheese."

… Kieran will never understand lactose-intolerant people.

[lunerians]

wip crumbs! kieran's not used to having Feelings in a safe and healthy enviroment while florian's having adhd thoughts (again)

"That's awesome!" Florian says, their eyes glittering as they launch into a lengthy ramble about Musharna and its pokedex entries across different regions. Kieran just listens as they keep talking, admiring the cute little hand gestures Florian always does when they're excited. 

They get so happy over the littlest things; it's really sweet. And cute. He's still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Florian still likes him enough to stick around, but it's also… really nice?

…. Kieran feels weird again. Not in a bad way, but in the "I feel Something. I don't know what it is but it's strange and it also makes me feel kinda really almost deliriously happy?" way, you know?

"—you okay? You haven't blinked in like, three minutes."

Kieran forces his eyelids to blink and shakes out the head twitches. "Huh? Sorry, I was thinkin' about somethin'... What didja ask me again?"

"It's okay! I…" Florian's face scrunches up, their eyes searching for… something. "I forgot. Uhhh, it was something about Musharna… pokedex entries… dreams? Dreamyard. Darkai? OH!! Nightmares!" They snap their fingers, their baskets jostling together. "I was asking if you've had any nightmares lately! I remember you struggled with those back at the academy, but I wasn't sure if you still got them…"

[shingetsu-online]

wait sorry getting the facts right. did you write an essay about plastic water bottles for 7 hours

yes

[lunerians]

hehehehe. gay ass teen. ur cringe (lovingly)

…Wait, Florian drinks coffee? Kieran's only seen them drink tea—specifically black teas, like early grey or english breakfast. Florian always has a huge thermos of it on them; they even offered to let him try some since he's never tried it before, but he… wimped out of it. 

An indirect kiss……

[lunerians]

ignore that i havent posted in a long ass time (was too busy to write for a month and i've been struggling so much with the 2nd half of part 2) but here. angst. funny haha

To ask for more, to even entertain the idea is too much. It's dangerous. Even if their friends' baseless delusions had a speck of truth to them, so what? Are you really willing to risk the relationship that you barely managed to fix just an assumption from people who've barely known Kieran for a week? Are you willing to risk it all just so you could have a chance at being with him? Be rational. Be safe. Be happy with what you have. If… if they just ignore everything else, it'll be fine. What Florian wants doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things anyway.

And at the very least, don't assume what Kieran feels again. Never again.

[lunerians]

omg... they hold hands... 😳

“Whatever,” they grumble, before hooking their fingers around his. “Let’s just go already."

Hm. Maybe Kieran should've thought this through more, because now his brain is actually processing the fact that he's holding Florian's hand. Which he has done before, just not in this… context. 

Well. He's made his bed—however nice the bed is right now because he is actually holding Florian's hand in a proper hand-holding way. Did he mention that already?—and now he's gotta lie in it.

Kieran's just… trying to make Florian feel better. That's it. That's all there is. That's all he's been doing this whole time. Who cares if said help makes him feel violently ill at the same time? That's definitely not important and definitely not something he should look into more.
