#pokepasta steven x reader

[pokepasta-fluffcanons]

Hello, here's Fairy Anon with a new idea!

What about Steven and Mike (not together, just to clarify LOL) with a black-cat energy but still protective partner? The type of person that would mostly stay quiet and calm, not socializing that much, but as soon as you say so ething even slightly mean about their partner they're like "THE HELL DID YOU SAY TO MY MAN-"

- Fairy Anon 🧚🏻‍♀️

I LOVE THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA

Steven:

*you have what is considered black-cat energy. You’re usually quiet and calm, not much of a person that socializes, but you can be a protective person towards those you care about

*Steven is aware of this, but he’s also a very protective person when it comes to you

*if anyone dares say anything mean towards Steven, he’ll brush it off as he’s heard it before

*you, on the other hand, immediately yell back “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY MAN??”

*as much as Steven would like to see you beat someone up, he doesn’t you hurt in the process, so he has to hold you back

*the first time this happened, it had caught him off guard, not expecting you to be so protective of him/wanting to stand up for him.

*since then, he’s gotten used to it, and has had to hold you back on more than one occasion. He’ll just pick you up and carry you away for cuddles or something to help calm you down

Mike:

*You and Mike are nearly opposites. He’s outgoing and friendly, while you are quiet and not very sociable.

*though you are quite protective of him

*if you hear anything slightly mean about him, you will yell at them “what did you just say about my man??”

*Mike tightens his grip on your hand, as if to tell you “come on, Y/n, it’s not worth it”

*he will have to drag you away before you get hurt

*you, on the other hand, are glaring daggers at the other person, but you’ll give in and go with Mike elsewhere

*”It’s okay, Y/n, I’m sure they didn’t mean it.” He would try to assure you that it was fine

Could you please do a fic where Steven and Mike from strangled red meet a reader from another region (preferably one with fairy type pokemon) and the two are either terrified or confused about the reader's pokemon, leading to them asking the reader questions like: "why does your pokemon look like that?" "What even is a fairy type?" And all that jazz

The moment I saw this request, the first fairy pokemon that came to mind was Klefki! So that'll be the chosen one <3

........

"Dude, why is your keyring so-?"

"Kiiii!!"

"Huh?!!" Mike took a huge step back, eyes widening as the large keyring hanging beside your door suddenly came to life. It lifted itself off the hook and did a little twirl, smiling at the dumbfounded brunette in front of it.

"Uh-"

"Klefki! What did I say about pranking our guests, hm?"

Hearing your voice, Klefki perked up and flew away from Mike, floating over to where you and Steven stood in the living room. You had just finished showing him your collection of badges, but the sight of your partner Pokémon startled him.

"What did you say that was..?" The longhaired trainer blinked.

"Klefki. The Keyring Pokémon." You introduced, turning to see it raise one appendage and hand you a key. "Thank you very much. You know, you're less stingy than usual today. I'll get you some pokepuffs after-"

"Wait, that's a Pokémon??"

"....is it really that shocking to you guys? Your region has Pokémon who look like eggs and pokeballs." Chuckling, you turned back to the two brothers who seemed so fixated on the levitating keyring--before they suddenly began scrambling to open their pokedexes, hoping there wasn't a sudden update they needed to catch up on.

"No. You two aren't missing anything."

They paused, now staring up at you.

"Klefki is originally from Kalos. You won't find them in those regional Kanto pokedexes."

Both of them blinked in realization, as though lightbulbs have simultaneously turned on upstairs before they bashfully put away their dexes. "Right, I forgot.." Steven awkwardly mumbled. "That's cool, though."

"Here. I got my regional Kalos dex." You decided to show them both Klefki's entry, letting the former champion take it into his hands while Mike leaned in closer to take a look.

All the while, you stood there patiently, amused at how their eyebrows furrowed as they read its description. They were acting like Pokémon researchers who just made a phenomenal discovery.

Then finally, after a long silence, Steven looked up at you.

"There's a "fairy" type? Is that a new thing?"

"It was the most recently-discovered type, but that was..........wait, you've never heard of them?" You blinked, seeing that his older brother had an equally confused expression. "Don't tell me that you, Kanto's first recorded champions, have never seen or battled a fairy type Pokémon in your life."

"........"

"........"

"What about Clefairy?"

"....that's a normal type according to our pokedexes." Mike frowned. "Is it a regional thing or-?"

"No, I...I'm working on my national dex. And it clearly states it's a fairy type." You huffed, realizing that these two poor uncultured souls didn't have a clue what you were talking about.

With a small sigh, you decided to sit on the couch, patting either side of you. "Come here, boys. I'm about to teach you allllll about fairy types. Because there's a lot you two need to catch up on if you wanna be "pokemon masters".

They both nodded and sat down, listening to your explanations about what fairy type Pokémon were, what they typically looked like, their weaknesses/strengths, etc.. You even presented them with the fairy feather you let Klefki hang onto.

Steven's eyes periodically wandered to your partner, who was noisily jingling its keys and grinning at him.

"So Steven...do you have any questions?"

"H-Huh? Oh, uh...yeah.." Snapping his attention back to you, he fidgeted with his hat. "You're saying its type advantages and disadvantages are all.....based off of fairytale stories?"

"Precisely." You nodded. "Fairies are strong against dark because they're typically good, and like the fighting type they triumph over evil."

"But they're also weak to fire because....?"

"Fire typically burns down their forests, but it's not one of their weaknesses. Fire Pokémon just resist Fairy Pokémon." Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed Mike sheepishly raising his hand. "Yes, Mikey?"

"....you lost me on why steel types are supereffective against them.." He admitted with a nervous chuckle.

"In most myths, iron harms fairies because they're manmade material."

"....gotcha...wow.." Flopping back onto the couch, he sighed dramatically, trying to absorb all this information you've told them. "I mean, it's awesome that more Pokémon types are being discovered, but....dang...it's gotten more complicated, too."

"Yeah." Steven nodded, mimicking his posture. Although a moment later, he sat up and looked at you. "[Y/n]...you said fairies were supereffective against dragon types, right?"

"Correct." You nodded, wondering where he was going with this.

"...is Miki secretly a fire/dragon instead of fire/flying?" His eyes narrowed in suspicion and worry. "Because if I ever battle your Klefki, that might be a-"

"No, I can assure you that in every region Charizard is fire/flying....although some trainers have the mega stone called Charizardite X that could turn theirs into a fire and dragon type instead-"

"The Charizardwhat???" He gawked.

To that, all you could do was sigh and shake your head, becoming more amused by the second at how much the brothers didn't know. You felt like a Pokémon Professor at this rate.

'Oh jeez..I'll be here for a while..'

General dating headcannons for Red or Steven plz🥺👉🏼👈🏼

MY FIRST ASK FINALLY ( ok there was one before this but i didn't see that I'LL GET TO YOU LATER SORRY ) hiii . i can do that 4 u. idk if u meant glitchy or Normal Red so i'll just tack them all in one big post. we love champions who are slightly deranged ( and also red. who's like. just normal. relatively. ) i can write so much for these 3 you will regret it. some of these became general headcanons but i hope this feeds you for at least a week.

because i wrote way too much. Like. Way too much. I apologize in advance theres so much

dating headcanons for red, steven, and glitchy red!

Red

♡ of course, he's mute - whether selectively or he just literally can't speak ( or almost literally never chooses to speak ). i prefer the ladder bc red speaking feels wrong. due to this, if you know sign, he can communicate that way - but he's also really good at just like.... gesturing. it may be harder to understand at first, but the more you get to know him the more you learn certain expressions or gestures. he also makes noises, grunts(?) of affirmation, hums, things like that. he really likes making those sorts of noises actually, especially if you're dating him. he's actually pretty expressive when he wants to be, so he's not that hard to understand.

♡ on a related note, he likes to hold you ( being the big spoon... he likes making you feel comfortable and protected ) and hum against you, making you sorta feel his chest vibrate a little bit.

♡ his form of affection is very much physical, he loves to hug you and to hold your hand. even if he's the champion ( or an ex-champion? it's unclear, nobody's really stated to dethrone him iirc, he just takes breaks, vacations, and does tournaments sometimes ) he won't care about giving you physical affection in public for the world to see. especially if it flusters you but you don't seriously have an issue with it, then he loves to give you just little kisses on the cheek. when your face is red ( pun semi-intended ) it makes you look cute, to him.

♡ if you have a pokemon team of your own or are in any way interested in battling he'll love to show you the ropes or help you get better at it. he won't fight you immediately if you're not that great, but he will tell you what pokemon he thinks you'd like ( probably just . showing you ones in his pokedex or googling them idk. ) . he just loves to teach and help people get better at things bc you know battling and catching mons is this dudes special interest all the way. he even probably knows and cares about IVs and EVs and natures, but doesn't teach you about those immediately since its more advanced stuff.

♡ also yea he's autistic. All of these 3 are actually. Massive win for the autism community.

♡ if we're making strangled red canon to this red's timeline the reason he's so interested in pokemon training and battling is bc he looked up to steven who Also loved that shit to death. steven at his prime was arguably even more competitive and good than red was. to be determined though since he fucked off, but he was probably an undefeated champion until the incident. This is more of a general red hc than a dating one and also more of a steven hc but it's semirelated. if not, he probably had a lifelong interest in this sort of stuff via watching the other champions in other regions on his tv, in the news, or something like that.

♡ sometimes if you explicitly agree to it ( bc he doesn't want to give you things you don't want or don't wanna be responsible for ) he'll randomly just... give you a pokemon he caught. he just gives you it and goes 'thought of you when i saw this.' in sign.

♡ his pokemon are also naturally protective of and like you too. give them pets and treats and they will be all over you. they might even be more affectionate with you than red sometimes. red doesn't take serious offense to it, he thinks its funny tbh.

♡ his idea of dates are either entirely regular things like going to a cafe or having a picnic or it's shit like hiking up mt. silver or flying on the back of his massive fucking charizard and just seeing where the wind takes you two. he's an adventurer at heart, and if you like that then you'll love him bc one month you'll be in kanto in his house and the next you'll be in fucking galar or something. never a dull moment, really.

♡ massive cuddler. as said before. big spoon, although he won't object to being the little spoon if you really wanna. will Not let go of you unless you really want him to as well. he snores a little in his sleep, but not to a disruptive degree. it's cute. alternatively, if you don't wanna cuddle him he'll probably have plushies or a pillow he holds in his sleep instead. me, my boyfriend, and his 500 poke four-foot tall pikachu plushie

♡ he's not too much of a fashion guy but he does find matching outfits cute. honestly, he'd buy you the same or a similar hat/vest as his just bc he thinks you'd look really cute in it.

♡ he's probably taller than you. not comically, but noticeably. likes to pat your head sometimes. he finds it funny if ur shorter than him like damn. How's the weather down there.

♡ gives so many kisses. doesn't give many on the lips, actually? especially in public. he Will but not as often. he really loves kisses on the cheek in particular, giving and receiving. the loverboy...

♡ overall A tier boyfriend. big teddy bear type of guy. amazing cuddles. 10/10.

Steven

♡ assuming this is far past all 3 of his stories ( post miki and mike death, post whatever the hell he did in doors open and strangled ) how the fuck did you even start dating him

♡ regardless of the way ( i like to think that you stumbled into his home out of curiosity and he just was sort of irritated but let you stay and then became attached ), i'm assuming this is past all of that, and therefore steven has become a little less fucking murderous. if you met him earlier while he was still in a very easy to anger state, he'd probably've killed you. he knows this and he's always going on horrible thought processes of 'oh god what if i hurt them too' and that sorta thing.

♡ 100% taller than you. he's like 6'5" or taller. perhaps even Inhumanely Tall due to like missingno or something. he's usually slouching all the time due to this and he has horrible scoliosis and back problems probably. but when he stands up to his full height. jesus christ. he will def tease you, usually wordlessly and with actions, by just like. leaning on you or putting his hand flat on yours to emphasize the height difference. he thinks its funny.

♡ steven, like glitchy, is actually really social despite how he looks and acts. or at least, craves being social - or socialized with. he used to be looked up to, he used to talk to people and often, and he used to be a champion. of course, he was still a man of few words back then as well, but not as few as he is now. due to this, he'll mostly give you straightforward answers or sentences, and slowly become a bit more talkative as the relationship progresses. still, he does prefer to just listen to you talk and nod along or hum in approval... your voice comforts him.

♡ you also have to be decently far in the relationship to coax him into doing this, but he may even go out with you. like. Like out into the world. he's been so scared of how everything's changed, and of course, he does go out sometimes but he tries to avoid society as hard as he can. Do not ask steven how the fuck he got into bell tower he probably just snuck in there one night after flying to johto w miki or some shit. i like to think he himself either requested all of his info be just sort of swept under the rug after he lost miki due to feeling like he didn't deserve to be a champion without her, or the kanto league intentionally tried to make everyone forget about him after his dissapearance - since it's been so long, this has been relatively successful. only red, blue, daisy, and oak would probably know him nowadays along with some older pallet town and kanto residents probably. therefore if you wanna take him out into the world maybe avoid pallet town since it's oughta be cause for a lot of concern to the townspeople, and he really doesn't want to worry them all.

♡ despite this he does worry about the remaining residents. he never got to see red or blue go on their own journeys since he became a hermit before that happened, so he's worried about their safety. if you tell him they're fine he'll be so fucking relieved. Alternatively, they're not ( snow on mt silver and or blue tears, among other pokepastas that could've happened ) but you know. don't tell them if they aren't fine, he doesn't want to know. either way, he also feels extremely awkward about the whole daisy thing as he never officially broke up with her, he just sort of left. but obviously, he's in a relationship with you now - he just can't help but worry about her as well sometimes.. mostly just hoping that she's had a better life than he has.

♡ his voice is gruff and rough and a little scratchy from not using it that much. this won't change too much but if you're into that then well. good news for you ig. please give this man tea with a lot of honey he needs it. and he also probably likes tea more than coffee anyways for various reasons.

♡ he sometimes has nightmares about The Incident ( both miki's death, which is scarred into his brain, and murdering mike. possibly also him killing two unrelated people who were probably kids in doors open and strangled as well, but much less than his nightmares about murdering mike and miki dying. he has a lot lying on his conscious ). he'll wake up silently, probably sweating and trying not to wake you up, but if you do wake him up, just talk to him - take his mind off of it or relax him. he'll appreciate it. he'll happily do the same for you.

♡ hugs you really tightly. is not aware of his own strength or grip until you ask him to do it less. he hugs you like you'll die if you escape his arms, essentially. due to this he will also hug you a lot while cuddling, especially in bed. he doesn't want you to leave his embrace, and may even be a little tentative to let go if you ask him to.

♡ type of dude to wake up early morning, grumble something about "five more minutes," sleep in and then fall asleep with you again and then the two of you wake up at like 5 pm with major bedheads. he has a nonexistent schedule. he doesn't even sleep that often, usually opting to just stay up until he physically can't keep his eyes open. he sleeps... for very long periods of time.

♡ he likes to take walks and just roam. he did this a lot more before he killed mike but after miki died, just roaming and pacing endlessly across kanto since he had nothing else to do, and now he sort of doesn't do it out of fear of someone recognizing him.. but if you say you're gunna go on a walk he'll happily ask to join, just... expect him to not follow if you go into an area that's too public. it overwhelms him + fear of being recognized or perceived in general by people that aren't you.

♡ he has PTSD, depression, BPD, and probably more. be patient with him. he can sometimes moodswing or close himself off from you because he's scared he'll hurt you and may even intentionally push you away as a sort of mental self harm method. just give him time and be patient. he never wants to hurt you when he's like that, he's just scared.

♡ it's funny how we've gotten this far without mentioning miki that much. anyways! miki. steven still has her, still is very overprotective of her, and that does not change with you. of course he's mostly sure that miki can hold her own so he's more scared of how she might react to you, but she's perfectly fine about it. steven will often allow her to just wander on her own accord around the house, so you might have some Unintentional Miki Jumpscares, especially since she likes to follow you sometimes. going to the bathroom and then exiting? face first into colliding with miki's stomach. she's like a cat. she really likes you and is also very curious about you. steven will often allow you to take her with you if you go outside as a defensive method, even though you probably have your own pokemon. even if you don't want her to come with you she'll usually follow you outside like a dog who wants to go on a walk - or a fly - really badly. she'll also offer you random things she finds lying around like rocks or sticks. steven will often not be far behind either if you and miki are outside, since he's both very worried about you and miki to a pretty equal degree. he finds her attitude towards you very cute though, and is happy that she takes to you quite well.

♡ if you're affectionate with miki, steven will find it very cute. especially considering her whole... condition. which steven was worried about you seeing. but if you're fine with it then those worries calm down a lot. steven loves to talk about her as well - it's one of the few things you can ask him that actually will prompt him to say much more than a few sentences at a time. he will ramble about how wonderful and powerful she is and how him and her were undefeated champions of kanto... at least until the incident. miki and you are sort of the last things he has that can make him smile genuinely anymore and he loves both very much.

♡ he may talk to you, probably in one of his sort of unstable spiralling states, about the Incidents(tm) and how you should stay away from him and that he's a monster. he'll genuinely sort of break if you still show him affection after how much he tries to push you away in his unstable states. it does reassure him, but he's so confused as to why you're still even with him sometimes. all he can think of is... why would someone want a murderer like him?

♡ a lot of his skills wore down since he self-isolated for years and years. he does cook well though. just buy him groceries so not every dinner and lunch between you two is a microwave or oven meal and he'll cook for you. he's especially good at making dinners. type of dude to wear an apron with kiss the cook on it. his eating behaviors are very unhealthy ( he doesn't eat that much ) so doing this also sort of helps him get back into that. if you also have bad eating behaviors he'll try to help you out as well.

♡ fucking loves pokemon battling and being competitive, which has obviously taken a backseat since The Incident(s), but he'll be happy to help you with anything pokemon related, similarly to red. he's such a massive tryhard, or at least was, when he was still on his journey that he knows almost anything and everything about how to make your pokemon the strongest they can be - he was allegedly an undefeated champion after all. he'd happily battle with you, if uh, miki didn't have the high possibility of accidentally killing your own pokemon. and he released all of his Normal Pokemon. so. but he'll help you catch pokemon and will be happy with treating your pokemon like his own as well. he just hopes they'll all get along with miki...

♡ similarly, if you have any plans to do the gym challenge in kanto, he'll raise an eyebrow in intrigue and help you but will give you a warning of "It's been a couple years, so things might not be the same, but from what I remember..." and will straight up tell you all of their teams and everything he remembers abt each gym battle. those days were very memorable and happy for him so he remembers each triumphant victory him and miki had against each gym leader and elite four member happily.

♡ if you become the champion - of either kanto or a different region entirely, or were already - it would make things a little complicated, considering most people treating champions like celebrities and steven did Not want anybody to know you were dating him nor wanted the publicity, as it'd cause complications probably. but he'd be happy for you. it'd be very ironic though... a champion dating an ex champion... he is attracted to people who were strong though, and you were no doubt strong if you became a champion.

♡ reaaallly loves hugging you. especially backhugs. he likes surprising you with a backhug, since he's honestly pretty good at sneaking around. thinks you getting scared is a little funny, admittedly, but he'll stop if asked. like red, he also loves being the big spoon and humming so you can sort of feel a vibration from his chest. very comforting and good to go to sleep to.

♡ he sort of just... follows you around wherever you go, really. doesn't have much else to do.

♡ a fact that many people forget is that steven is canonically a gamer for better or for worse. he has so many stocked-up consoles and games and i like to think he collects them too. due to this he will happily play games with you or watch you play them happily. he will try to impress you w how well he plays certain games bc he's a bit of a nerd. he also knows glitches in a lot of games he owns #lol

♡ i like to think that pokemon cards exist in universe and he probably also just collects those. he has every charizard card to date. don't ask him how he got those, he'll just give you a Look and refuse to answer ( either paid way too much or stole them or something ).

♡ continuing the whole collecting thing he has all of his trophies and badges and adjacent stuff lined up somewhere near his bed. will happily brag to you about how he got each one in hopes to impress you, and also to reminisce on the better times. He also probably has a charizard plushie or two.

♡ if you wanna style his hair he'll allow you. feel absolutely free. he really doesn't do much with it other than lazily wash it nowadays anyways, so he doesn't mind. he likes the sensation of your hands in his hair as well... it's comforting. just try not to tug or yank his hair.

♡ he's a little overprotective and he will often try to keep you in his home. he's worried about losing you if you go outside, and he isn't too willing to follow considering his urban legend reputation within kanto. things like asking you to stay just a few more days, but he'll always say that when you mention needing to leave. if you're persistent enough, he'll let you go, but he's just worried... and very clingy. be sure to at least send him messages ( if he even has a phone ), if you intend to be gone for longer than a day.

♡ if you have a pokemon team, which, you probably do, he'll be happy to learn about and get along with each and any of them. as long as they get along with miki or are at least willing to, he's fine with them.

♡ overall very depressed man but he's also a big teddybear and loves you sooo much he just isn't good at expressing it. 10/10 ( <- clearly biased )

Glitchy Red

♡ glitchy, on the other hand from red, is Very fucking talkative. red and glitchy are like... the opposite of eachother which i find very funny. not entirely, of course they share similarities due to being generally the same person, but being trapped in a game so long made him desperate for any sort of touch, any sort of contact, any sort of socialization of ANY kind. which is why he's talkative - he may stumble over his own words or trip up on them since he's only used to speaking through textboxes, which embarrasses him. don't comment on it or he'll probably just not talk for the rest of the day.

♡ sometimes if you touch him you'll get that static shock . he'll apologize a lot if he ever does this because it's usually unintentional and just a thing that can Happen due to his whole... state. happens more often when he's upset, happens less when he isn't.

♡ his glitches seem to stutter to a sort of rhythm sometimes. if you're observant enough, these usually give away his current emotional state. he gets glitchier the more upset he is, obviously, and he gets more stable the more happy he is. so around you... he's usually pretty stable.

♡ really likes holding your hand. it assures to him that yes, you are real... and you are with him. any form of contact makes him happy, but holding his hand is just simple and nice and it grounds him.

♡ if this isn't in the pokemon universe, then i'd like to think you can play pokemon games around him and he'll just commentate on it and won't be too bitter as long as modern red doesn't show up. he probably unironically likes a lot of the pokemon he's never seen, but will just go like. "tch. whatever. pikachu's better." under his breath, since he never wants to admit he likes anything pokemon related past certain gens. he's that type of dude who'd get so unnaturally angry about dexit.

♡ he's also very judgemental about the way you play games, especially pokemon lol. he's a fucking backseat gamer oh my god. he's honestly not that actually genuine abt his comments hes just very used to bitching abt the way ppl play games due to Being in one for so long. he did it to annoy people and make them stop playing and it worked. if you get a little angry at him about this he'll notice and mumble an apology.

♡ like steven, he'll just follow you around and hang around you for most of the day. he legitimately doesn't have anything else to do, so.

♡ he doesn't need to sleep or eat, but he can still feel the sensations of taste and touch and he fucking loves finally having self-agency and the ability to feel these things. everything in his own world became extremely dull, even the pain after a point. plus he never ate food in there, so yk. due to this will eat a lot of food and will touch anything he can, intaking their textures.

♡ has autism, probably ptsd, misophonia ( especially with fucked up game noises they'll make him go into a state of pretty raw anger ), bpd, and prob more.

♡ loooves cats and cat pokemon and anything adjacent and im definitely not taking this headcanon from like several artists. really likes litten and skitty, particularly.

♡ if you let him, he loves to just touch you all over. just like. rub your cheeks. pat your head. run his hands through your hair. he's so unused to feeling any of this that he can get absolutely lost in feeling how ... real you are.

♡ he's the type of guy to chug cans of monster and then wonder why his bodys reacting poorly, glitching all over the fucking place as he has a sugarrush like response to it. he didn't even know that could Happen as a bodily response so he's just so panicky when he intakes too much sugar or caffeine until you explain that to him LMAO

♡ he'll take up like several hobbies and then drop most of them out of impatience and disinterest, but he'll try almost anything once. he does like idly cooking or cleaning since they're useful to the both of you.

♡ loves to go outside and explore. it's the red in him. if you allow him to he loves to just take your hand and walk around wherever you live. if you get tired, he'll carry you, since he doesn't really get tired - if he does, not as quickly as you do for certain. people may give him odd looks, but he could care less.

♡ his kisses feel like electricity but in the best way

♡ on a related note, kiss him all over. he'll get so flustered and he'll stutter out cute little embarrassed noises and then he'll just pull his cap over his face to hide his expression a little.

♡ ... admittedly, he's like the only guy on this list who prefers to be the little spoon, but he'll default to the big spoon just because he likes to make you happy. but the second you have your arms around his body he'll never want you to let go. he's insanely touchstarved. he's like a cat that constantly is rubbing against your leg for attention after this. please hug him throughout all times of day.

♡ despite being so talkative theres some days where he just doesn't feel like saying too much. mostly because he's tired, in any sense of the word, or overthinking or something. just be patient and loving with him.

♡ it's actually pretty easy to make him flustered or to make him smile. give him any form of compliment, praise, or touch, and his face will be red ( pun intended, again ) and he'll be smiling so large. it's really cute.

♡ his hair is sharp to the touch if he's unstable and stressed, but if he isn't it's very fluffy. run your hands through his hair and take his cap off and he'll fall asleep so quickly.

♡ speaking of, like red, since theyre... yk the same person for the most part, he also snores. it just has a sort of glitchy tone to it like his voice does. it is comforting though, and he snores a lot louder than regular red.

♡ wouldn't it be funny if he could enter your dreams while you sleep too like at the end of the og pokepasta. if you have a nightmare he just notices somehow and beats the nightmare to death and just cuddles you and helps you feel better. either that or he just gets so lonely that he just visits you in your dreams sometimes to talk to your consciousness. he probably has a lot of sleepless nights where he'll just enter your dreams to have something to do.

♡ overall, very easily embarrassed and flustered touchstarved boyfriend. he's a little moody but he's very cute. 10/10. i am never ranking one of these mfs under 10/10 because im biased.

Steven x reader

Requested on ao3!

You were currently making your way over to Steven’s house, a few items in hand. A couple people had made a comment here and there to you that he’s been acting more strange than usual, which you knew something was up. Sure; you knew everyone was afraid of him, except for you as you were friends with him before this whole incident happened with his brother. Which is exactly why people will turn to you if Steven is causing problems, which you find odd since he usually just… keeps to himself.

You walked up to the door of the house and knocked, calling out to the man inside,

“Steven, it’s me, Y/n!” It was quiet for a few moments before the door opened to reveal the raven haired male you’ve come to know and love.

“…hello, Y/n.” You heard a faint noise in the background which sounded… like Miki, but she didn’t sound too good, like she was sick, which worried you since you knew how much Steven adored her.

“Could I… come in?” Steven was quiet for a moment, before he nodded and opened the door more to allow you into the house. He only did this because it was you, because he trusted you. Anyone else, he wouldn’t have even opened the door.

You followed Steven to the other room where Miki was, curled up on the floor. You made your way over to her, kneeling down beside her. You glanced over at Steven, as if asking for permission to get this close to her, as you didn’t want to upset him. He only nodded in response, before you did a basic check up on her. She was warmer than what is normal for fire types with the occasional chills. How this was even possible considering… well, you knew the situation. You looked over at Steven as Miki now rested her head on your lap, allowing you to pet her head, which you did so.

“Steven, she’s going to be fine, I promise.” You said to the raven haired male that was now pacing back and forth, a dark shadow covering part of his face, hands, and arms and red eyes glowing like crazy. You knew it was MissingNo, so you had to calm him down before he went crazy and did something he would regret.

“Steven. Steven, listen to me! Miki is going to be okay! She’s just sick, she’ll be fine in a couple of days.” You had stood up and went over to Steven, placed your hands on his shoulders, which made him stop his pacing and look at you.

“How do you know, Y/n?” His voice sounded a little distorted at the moment as he stared at you with his red eyes.

“…you do know who you’re talking to, yeah? The one who went to work with Nurse Joy for a few months while you were out on your journey?” Steven was silent for a few moments, staring at you… then looked back at Miki.

“…Alright, I trust you.” You noticed the dark shadow starting to fade away, making you sigh internally in relief. “I’m sorry, Y/n.” you heard him mumble before he pulled you into a hug. “Please… help Miki..”

“Of course, Steven.” You nodded, soon pulling away from the hug and went back over to the Charizard lying on the floor. You knelt beside her once more, taking a few things from your pack, and set them to the side.

Steven watched you as you took care of his Charizard, feeling something that he hadn’t in a long while: and that was his feelings for you. He’s had feelings for you for a while now, but he pushed them to the side as he never thought you would feel the same way about him, but what he didn’t know was that you had feelings for him, but you also felt the fear of rejection and had never told him, or thought to tell him.

Steven was brought back from his thoughts as you called his name. He looked back at you, seeing as Miki had fallen asleep now.

“She’ll be okay, she just needs to rest, alright?” Steven only nodded in response.

“I’ll be back in a little while to check up on her, okay?”

“Alright…” he seemed a little hesitant to let you leave at this moment.

“I’ll be back, Steven. You know I wouldn’t let anything happen to Miki. I know how much she means to you, that you care about her, and that’s one of the things I like about you.” You then walked outside, looking back at him.

“See you later.” Steven watched you as you left before closing the door behind him, thinking about what you just said. “That’s one of the things I like about you,” you said to him. He didn’t just hear that, right? Did you really like him the way he likes you?

“…don’t give me that look, Miki.” He looked over to see his Charizard giving him a look. She knew about his feelings for you.

“Yeah, I know, you want me to tell them how I feel.” He went over to Miki, sitting beside her. “We’ll see.” He mumbled to himself.

Over the next couple of days, you’ve been going over to Steven’s house to help him take care of Miki, but also spend time with Steven while you were there. If Steven wasn’t awake by the time you got there, you had woke him up and see how Miki was doing, and of course to see if she was doing any better, which she was getting a lot better with your help, which made you and Steven relieved.

You were sitting on the floor, with Miki’s head resting on your lap, looking much better now than the other day. Both her and Steven were grateful for your help, especially Steven. You had a faint smile on your face and you lightly rubbed her head, looking over as Steven walked into the room.

“Miki is much better now.”

“Thanks to your help, Y/n. I… really appreciate it.”

“Of course, it’s not a problem.” Steven went to say something else, but noticed the look that Miki was giving him. He knew that look. She was trying to tell him to finally tell you how he feels.

“Y/n.”

“Hmm? What is it, Steven?” You looked back at him.

“The other day when you were here… as you were leaving, you said something that stuck with me.”

“I did?”

“Yeah. As you were leaving, you said something about liking me. Is that true? Do you like me, Y/n?” You froze in response to his words, taking a moment to gather your thoughts before you sighed,

“Yes.. I do like you, Steven. Well, actually… I like you more than that. I know everyone tells me to stay away, but I just can’t. I love you, Steven.” Steven was a bit surprised by your confession, not expecting you to tell him that you loved him.

“Y/n.” He stepped closer to you. “I feel the same way.”

“You.. you do?”

“I do. I have for a while now. You knew what I did and you didn’t run away. In fact, you’re still here.”

“Well, we’ve been friends since before then, why would I leave you now?” You hugged him, causing him to flinch in response before he hugged you back.

“…thank you for not leaving me, Y/n.” He leaned down and kissed the top of your head.

“It’s no problem, Steven.” You smiled softly, but squeaked as you and Steven were pulled into a warm hug by Miki, who had a proud look on her face.

“I think she’s happy for us, Y/n.” Steven chuckled a bit in response.

“I think so too.” You looked back at the raven haired male before you. “Heh.. actually, it’s because of you we were able to get closer and even confess.” Miki nodded and took a step back.

“Come on, Steven, let’s go spend some time together before it gets too dark.” You grabbed his hand and dragged him outside, which he hesitantly followed you, with Miki behind you, happy to see her trainer has finally found someone that will love him regardless of his past.

Could I get Hypno's Lullaby Steven x reader hcs? Yandere or normal works! <3

Bold of you to assume Steven could be normal about things-(/lh, I'll do some yandere some normal fluff <3) I SWEAR I'M WORKING ON MY OTHER REQUESTS BTW GUYS, I'M JUST SLOW, I'M SO SORRY

DISCLAIMER; THIS IS HYPNO'S LULLABY, SO HE'S 18, KEEP THAT IN MIND.

Tws(Because this is a creepypasta character): Death, suicide mention, obsessive behavior, yandere tendencies.

Yandere hcs:

🔥 Steven is pretty much a textbook yandere.

🔥 He'll do anything and everything for you.

🔥 If you try to leave him, he'll blame others for it and not himself. He just gives off those vibes.

🔥 He's already lost Miki, he sure as Hell isn't letting you go.

🔥 If you try to leave, he'll either station Missingo at the door to keep you from leaving or beg you to stay. He's been treating you so well, why are you leaving?!

🔥 In this scenario, alongside Miki dying in the trade, Mike probably also brought Steven's unhealthy mannerisms to your attention, thus landing him on Steven's hit list.

🔥 After the fact, Steven framed Mike's death as a suicide and stayed by your side to comfort you throughout the days after the news comes out.

🔥 He only gets worse from there. The way you just...snuggle as close to him as you can, the way you come to him for comfort, the way you feel safe around him to show your grief, it drives him INSANE.

🔥 He'll treat you like a king, queen, anything in between! You're HIS darling, after all!

🔥 You don't really have a choice!

🔥 You're his.

🔥 You can't escape.

🔥 But why would you want to? He treats you well, he's just...clingy!

🔥 He just wants what's best for you.

Fluff hcs:

🔥 IF BAKING WERE A MURDER CHARGE, CALL THIS MAN A WAR CRIMINAL.

🔥 Seriously, though, this man can bake a mean batch of brownies!

🔥 He sorta stopped for a while after losing Miki(She helped him with heating the oven up), but when you came into his life, he picked it up again and actually started to feel better!

🔥 He's a huge snuggler! He prefers being the big spoon, since he likes the feeling of protecting you!

🔥 He does still worry that he's gonna hurt you sometimes, though. He knows he can lose himself when he's happy, and he knows he doesn't know his strength sometimes, but he's trying his best!

🔥 Just...don't ask him to make mug cakes. He'll have a thousand yard stare for the rest of the day.

🔥 You'll need to be a few years into the relationship before he tells you why he has a disdain for them.

🔥 But aside from that, he's pretty open with you!

🔥 ...granted that's compared to everyone else, but he's a naturally secretive person, but he'll slowly open up to you!

🔥 All in all, he's a sweet guy!

Yandere Pokepasta x Lost Silver reader

Glitchy Red- Glitchy Strangled Red- Steven Mt Silver red- Red

Lost Silver also known as (y/n) was cuddling against a pillow in the house that she shares with her three boyfriends, she snuggles harder against the pillow magically hoping it would turn into one of her boyfriends. Because of this she almost missed the footsteps coming to the bedroom door. She sat up and looked at the door waiting and wondering who would walk in, “Steven!!!” She squealed almost running towards him. She rapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him, she couldn’t see his eyes as they where covered by his hat and a frown on his face. (Y/n) continued clinging onto him as he walked to the bed and sat down, she kissed his cheek before peppering his face with kisses. He then grabbed her chin, making her face him they kissed, a blush coated her face it she continued kissing him, each grabbing the others head to push them closer.

When the two heard a whistle, both turn to face the door spotting Glitchy and Red, (y/n) then pulled away leaving a string of Silvia between the two. Steven had a frown on his face as the lady jumped off the bed to greet the others. “Don’t tell me you two where going to have fun without us~” Glitchy teased all while Red was silent starring at her. Glitchy grabbed her ass and smirked as she squeaked her face turning red. The two lead her back to the bed, Steven grabbing her bringing them back into the heated kiss, this time Glitchy and Red where behind them, Red grabbed the hem of her shirt lifting it up. Steven broke the kiss so her shirt could get off her body, durning them time Steven unbuckled his pants pulling it down showing his boxers, Glitchy grinned as he started to pull her shorts down and once they where off her he threw them to the side Red following suit. Glancing down (y/n) saw the outline of Stevens erection, blushing she pulled his boxers down freeing his cock. She gave small kitten licks, tasting the pre-cum in her mouth. A zipper was heard in the room and soon a hand was back on her ass, during that Steven started to get annoyed so he pushed her head down making her almost choke but she go back on pace sucking him off. “Can I go in sweetheart, Please~” the teasing voice of Glitchy asked squeezing her ass again, humming in agreement Glitchy rammed into her the two moaning after. Red got under her rubbing her pussy with his index finger, she try’s to close her legs but Red keeps them open, He then put his head under her dripping sex and started sucking. While all of this was happening (y/n) felt pleasure everywhere, after a while of this continuing she came right into Red’s mouth and after giving her one more lick he got out from under her, only for him to take his pants of and start and jerk off at the sight in front of him. The other two didn’t seam to notice only going after there own pleasure, having to hold onto the lady as her arms and legs disappeared glitching away from all the pleasure she was feeling. Glitchy’s thrusts where getting sloppy and he came in her without warning, she winded at him as he pulled out further stimulating Steven who was also close to his release. When he grabbed her head again she new he was about to cum, pushing her head all the way down he came into her mouth her swallowing everything. She poped off him, Red cumming on the sheets and when her arms came back she started rubbing herself one more time also cumming on the bed as the three pulled her into a cuddle pile with her laying on Stevens chest while the other two where beside her. “How do you feel?” Glitchy asked hopping to not have hurt his lover, “Pregnant” she jokingly replied making everyone quiet ‘did I say something wrong’ she thought before the others put a hand on her slightly bloated stomach “I wouldn’t mind” “Me neither” both Red and Steven said, the first time she neared them talk today “ Maybe we should get you pregnant, you would look so cute filled with our children” Glitchy said the others nodding along. All (y/n) could do was nodd to tired to understand what the others where saying, Red pulled the blanket up to cover all of them as (y/n) gave a small thanks before falling asleep the rest following suit.

[pokepasta-fluffcanons]

This might sound stupid or weird, but could I ask for some headcanons with Steven with an S/O that’s angelic in some way? Like physically or just having that sort of aura around them. And he doesn’t think he deserves S/O because they’re so good and wonderful and he’s got blood on his hands, but S/O loves him anyway.

Inspired by the song The Seraph from 35MM Musical Exhibition

*You have this angelic quality to you, while not physically, but having that sort of aura to you

*you’re so good and so sweet and everything that Steven is not

*Steven always tells himself that he doesn’t deserve someone like you, because he’s got blood on his hands and that will never go away, while you.. are the opposite of him

*but despite this, he still loves you. He would never let anything bad happen to you

*you are aware of Steven’s past, but you would never use this against him. You love him, despite what he’s done

*and anytime he feels like he’s undeserving of you, you’re always there to cheer him up/reassure him that he’s wrong, that you’re not going anywhere and that you love him no matter what

*cuddle with him a bit to help him feel better, but don’t expect him to let go for a while

[pokepasta-fluffcanons]

RANDOM IDEA I JUST HAD

Steven and/or Grey with a VERY reckless S/O (not the three of them together btw LOL)

The type of person that looks at a dangerous situation and goes "Yup, seems like a good idea", so they sometimes go to their partner all bruised but smiling because "Hey babe, I did something really cool today! Wanna know what I did? :D"

(Not me choosing the one who lost his brother and pokemon AND the one that probably has anxiety bc I like drama-)

No joke, no candy, just positivity today! You're great at what you do, so keep going and believe in yourself! :D

- Fairy Anon 🧚🏻‍♀️

BRILLIANT

Steven:

*”hey, babe, guess what I did today!” You would come to Steven, bruised and other injuries on you

*anytime you come to him all bruised and such, he immediately goes into a bit of a panic

*Steven doesn’t like seeing you injured, especially considering he knows how reckless you can be

*if he knows you’re going to do something that will most likely get you injured, he will prevent you from doing it, and there is no convincing him otherwise

*you do feel a bit bad about it, since you know that he’s lost both his Pokemon and his brother, and he didn’t want to lose you too

*you will apologize for what you’ve done and do your best to calm him down, which may take a moment to do so. You have to sit him down and cuddle with him, but he won’t let you go for a while

Grey:

*Anytime you go to Grey with any bruises or any other injuries, he goes into a panic, making sure you’re okay

*you do feel a bit bad for making him worry, though

*but you can’t help your recklessness, you see something dangerous and you can’t help but go “yes this will be fun”

*Grey doesn’t really like when you do anything reckless/dangerous, but he knows he can’t really stop you

*but he will take care of you afterwards, wrapping up any injuries you get, but you will get a bit of a talking to for it, which you understand.

[pokepasta-fluffcanons]

Hello, how are you doing! I hope you are well. I have a request for Steven.

So reader has a crush on Steven before the events of the strangulation. (the event where Steven killed Mike.) Reader was too shy to confess to Steven. So then after the strangulation happens reader still likes Steven and goes out to find him. Eventually she finds him and confesses to him but Steven is hesitant to reciprocate her feeling in fear of hurting her but reader says to him. “I won’t give up on you. Please let me love you.” And Steven decides to accept her love confession.

You have no idea how badly I want to write a oneshot for this

*You have had feelings for Steven, before the strangulation, but you were too shy to ever act on them

*even after the incident, your feelings for him never changed, which you were honestly surprised by. You thought they would’ve faded away due to what he’s done

*you then decided to look for Steven, you wanted to tell him how you felt

*eventually, you managed to find him, which surprised him, thinking you were there for bad reasons (whether to yell at him, hurt him, etc)

*but what surprised him more was the fact that you had confessed your feelings to him.

*Steven was hesitant to reciprocate your feelings, as he was afraid he was going to hurt you as well, which he didn’t want. He does feel the same way for you, but he’s just afraid.

*”I won’t give up on you, Steven. Please, let me love you.” You told him as you took his hands into your own

*Steven had to fight the urge to both pull you closer but also to pull his hands away from yours

*he is silent for a few moments before he eventually pulls you close and accepts your confession

[pokepasta-fluffcanons]

Hello! May I ask for some Steven x Reader where Reader can actually interact with ghosts?

Imagine trying to cuddle with your messed up boyfriend while his dead brother just tries to mess up with you-

Anon, yoUR MIND! I have been,, wanting to write this since I got it this morning.

*You are able to interact with ghosts, have been since you could remember

*So it wasn't a surprise that you were able to see Steven's brother, Mike

*Who of course you would be seeing a lot of after you got together with Steven

*Steven was a little concerned about this, but you told him not to worry, as this was fairly normal to you

*...of course Steven still worries about you

*You'll be trying to cuddle with Steven, and Mike will be trying to mess with you

*...but you'll counter it by making him uncomfortable by kissing Steven all of a sudden

*Steven is caught off guard by your sudden kisses, but he doesn't seem to mind them

*poor Mike, on the other hand, will end up leaving you alone for a while

*Once he's gone, you are free to cuddle with your boyfriend for as long as your heart desires

[pokepasta-fluffcanons]

Can I request an s/o of S!3v3n jumping onto his back and attempting to calm him down?

*Steven is honestly surprised that you would even climb up onto his back

*like he understands he’s a tall boy, and you’re shorter than him, but please don’t hurt yourself

*depending on how upset he is, it may take some time for you to help him calm down

*but you’re willing to do what it takes to help calm him down

*just talk with him if possible/if he wants to talk about what’s upsetting him

*if he doesn’t, then don’t talk, just stay with him until he calms down

*he’ll mumble a “thank you, Y/n…” in return to your help.

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

could we get some more Steven? (pokepasta) just after the incident, after what happened with Mike? he's just a mess (in a more crazy way then sad) but his mood is constantly swinging from "he deserved it" to "im a monster" and (fem)reader helps him relax and gives some kisses and affection to calm him down? <3

(she's a gentle person compared to him being violent<33)

"It was only fair, right? He deserved it...he was jealous. He took my dreams..my happiness...my Miki."

"B...Blast..?"

"Your master was a horrible man, Blastoise. But you're free now."

"Blas..toise..."

"...you should be grateful."

With tense muscles and fear rushing through his veins like a current, Blastoise refused to look at the man scowling at him with glowing eyes. He couldn't even tear his own away from the body of his trainer.

Mike.

His owner, the one who had raised him since he was a little Squirtle....was dead.

All he did was come out of his pokeball as soon as he heard Steven's screams, only to be met by the sight of the ex-champion's older brother lying motionless on the bed. He didn't know what to make of the haunted expression still etched all over his face, nor the way his eyes remained opened and filled with tears...or the large bruises around his neck.

And the blood..

There was a lot of it coming from his mouth.

Over the past year, Blastoise knew Steven and Mike had a falling out ever since the accident with Miki. While he didn't fully understand all the details of that dreadful day, he was sad to learn he'd never get to see the Charizard ever again, with a visit to her grave being enough proof of that.

He knew how genuinely sorry his master was, regretting the trade every single day. Yet it wasn't enough for Steven.

He wanted revenge, and it turned him into something horrible.

Now Mike was dead, and he was standing there in the darkness, parts of his body glitching as he told Blastoise such awful things...as though he was in the wrong for mourning.

But...he didn't actually mean that, right?

Why would he say such things?

Why would he do this to his own brother?

Yet when the large turtle finally managed to look away and glare at Steven, he was surprised by what he saw: the trainer no longer looked menacing, but instead seemed rather...lost and remorseful.

"Blastoise..I....I'm sorry...I..." Looking down at his hands, he was mortified by the blood staining his fingertips. They began to shake the longer he stared, tears filling up his eyes. "What have I done..?"

"Blast?" Blastoise approached cautiously.

Then they both heard the front door open, and Steven panicked.

"Don't tell her..please." He rushed into the bathroom, locking the door behind him so he could wash his hands, desperate to get rid of the bloodstains.

Yet even as they disappeared physically, in his mind....they weren't washing off.

In his mind, his hands were completely tainted in red, and every passing second made him feel sick to his stomach.

He knew you were going to find out, and he silently cursed himself as he heard Blastoise calling out for you. Of course, he wasn't his trainer...so it's obvious he wasn't going to listen to him.

Turning off the sink, he just listened to your footsteps coming up the stairs, before they stopped upon entering his room. He could only imagine what your expression was upon seeing Mike's body, but he resisted the urge to sob and alert you to his presence.

Even so, however, Blastoise pointed you to the bathroom door, and you've been trying to convince him to come out....yet he refused.

No way should he be anywhere near you now.

He wasn't even expecting you to be home this early.

While you were working at a Pokémon Center overnight, you heard whispers from visitors about a long-haired trainer walking around with an eerie smile, apparently possessed by Missingno: a strange Pokémon that nobody was meant to find.

You didn't wanna believe it was your boyfriend, of all people, but he and Mike did learn about it while they were trying to finish their pokedexes.

Despite all the sources not being 100% verified by experts--Professor Oak included--Steven's obsession with this "myth" grew tenfold since Miki's passing. He wanted to find it and control it, and not because of a pokedex or fame or anything else.

He wanted it to change the very course of nature itself.

To bring her back.

There's been a circulating rumor that Missingno could corrupt the very soul of its trainer, driving them to do horrific and unspeakable things under its influence while amplifying their deepest and darkest internal thoughts...

And Steven, whether he found it or vice versa, unfortunately proved that to be true. It must have been feasting on his grief over Miki, leading to him making such irrational decisions he can't undo.

You believed that had to be it.

He was being controlled by this monster.

There's no way he'd do any of this otherwise....right?

It took a while for him to come out and face you, so you ended up waiting downstairs--although not before covering Mike's body with the sheet so it wasn't the first thing he saw. You had Blastoise go into his pokeball, keeping it safely tucked away in your bag.

You kept waiting on the couch for a few minutes, before hearing footsteps and turning your attention to the stairwell.

For a moment, your heart jumped into your throat upon seeing what looked like the shadow of a Charizard cast on the wall....but it was quick to disappear.

"[Y/n]? Wh-Why..are you still here?"

You blinked, only seeing Steven on the stairs now, clutching the railing and looking completely terrified. Dry tears stained his cheeks, and his eyes and nose were all red and raw from crying.

Not to mention his hair looked even worse than it did this morning...but then again, it's been that way for a year.

You helped him take care of it during his depression spells, although under no circumstance did he ever want it cut. He sometimes got angry if you tried to push him to visit the salon, so you left it be.

You'd never force him to go. Not when he's been through enough already.

It seems Missingno took a liking to his hair, as now it looked as though Zapdos struck him with lightning. It made him appear twice as big...which would have been frightening to anybody who didn't know him.

Not to you, though.

You knew him better than anyone.

"Steven.." You gently began, only to frown as he continued hiding in the shadows.

"No...I can't.." He whispered shakily. "I..I-I'm not...well, [y/n]. You should leave before I-"

"I'm not going anywhere, okay? We can talk about this.."

"......."

"Steven?"

"..what's there to talk about? You already know what I did."

Hearing his voice become distorted, you jumped as he suddenly appeared right in front of you, staring down at you with red eyes and a pearly-white grin. The rest of his face was overtaken by total darkness.

"I had no choice. I had to do it...for her. Mike ruined my life. He was a prick who deserved everything he had coming. I call it karma, wouldn't you?" He laughed.

"I know you don't mean that..that's not what the Steven I know would say." You shook your head, gently and cautiously taking his hands into yours. And he gazed at them, confused by your actions.

You weren't afraid to touch him?

Even though they were the same hands that killed someone?

"You and I both know that thing won't bring her back."

"Maybe not..but at least I tried to do something about it." He snarled, a certain bitterness to his tone. "You just kept telling me "things will get better" for a whole damn year. Well...did they, [y/n]?"

When you didn't answer, he kneeled down so you could get a better view of his face, hoping you'd finally see the monster he had become.

"Do I look "better" to you?"

"...no, and I'm sorry if I didn't do enough to help you." You tried your best to stay calm, lightly rubbing your thumb across his knuckles. "Maybe I could've stopped you from chasing down Missingno. I'm shocked it chose to go with you, but....it's not gonna scare me away, alright? You're not gonna scare me away."

"......."

"I'm horrified at what happened, but I still love you, Steven. And I can't see myself abandoning you when you're like this. I wanna keep helping you...if you'll let me, of course."

For a few long moments, he was silent as he observed your small affectionate gesture. You didn't know what he was thinking in this moment, since the bill of his hat was hiding his entire face.

Just as you stopped, however, you heard a small sniffle. His hands began trembling in your grasp.

"...please help me."

"Steven..." Pausing, you saw him look back up at you, his expression returning to normal. With panicked breaths, he crumbled into your lap, clutching your shirt desperately as his hat slipped off and fell to the ground.

You just held him closely, soothingly pet his hair in an effort to calm him down while his body wracked with light sobs...as though he were a Cubone crying out for its mother. He kept repeating "please" and how sorry he was.

This, alone, proves that he didn't mean to kill Mike at all. He wasn't himself.

At first, you weren't sure if the boy you knew and loved was still there...but he was, and he needed you by his side.

You were going to stay, for better or worse.

Steven x reader

Requested over on ao3! I went with a happy au for this one cause they wanted fluff and it fit better for this oneshot

“Do you think he’ll be surprised?” You asked as you were walking towards Mike and Steven’s house, holding a pokeball in your hand.

“Oh, absolutely.” Mike nodded in agreement as he walked beside you. “If you offer it to him, he’ll accept it from you, consider you are his partner.”

“I suppose that is true.” You chuckle a bit as you and the brunette continued walking, glancing down at the pokeball in your hand, which held a pokemon that you were going to show to your boyfriend, Steven. What had happened was: Mike had asked Steven to trade Miki to get the data for his pokedex, but you had a better idea, since you had a Charizard of your own, you figured you could breed them and give Mike the egg so he could raise his own.

What you weren’t expecting however, was two eggs waiting for you at the daycare center. You didn’t mind, really, you could just raise the other one and give it to a trainer starting out their journey or something. Or at least, that was the original plan. That all changed when the two Charmander hatched. One you did give to Mike as promised, but the other you just couldn’t give up.

“Y/n, we’re here.” You were brought out from your thoughts as you heard Mike talking to you.

“I just hope he won’t freak out or anything.”

“I doubt it. Come on, he should be here.” Mike opened the door and let you inside before following you into the house.

“Steven?” You both called out to the raven haired male, who soon walked into the room.

“Yeah, I’m here.”

“Great! Y/n has something they want to show you.”

“Oh, uh, alright. What is it, Y/n?” You gave Mike a playful glare before you walked over to Steven, placing the pokeball you had in your hand, into his own.

“Let them out, Steven.” He nodded in response and let the pokemon out from the pokeball. What he saw, however, was definitely not what he was expecting. What stood in front of him was…

“A shiny Charmander.” Steven just barely managed to get his words out, surprised to see the shiny Pokemon in front of him.

“Yep.” You nodded, a faint smile on your face as you watched him pick up the golden colored Charmander and hug it.

“This is amazing, Y/n! Also very rare, but amazing.”

“Agreed.” You went over to him and hugged him as well, the Charmander seemingly enjoyed the attention as he got closer to both of you with a smile on his face.

“And I figured… since he is from our two Charizard, we could… help raise him together?” Steven looked back at you, a surprised look on his face, before he nodded and kissed your forehead softly.

“I would like that, very much. Hopefully Miki won’t get too overprotective or anything.”

“Well just have to wait and see.” You chuckled a bit in response.

“Should we… give him a name?” You tilt your head to the side in a curious manner.

“I think we should.” Steven tapped his chin in thought, as if in thought. “Let’s see what we can come up with.”

“Well, he is like a golden color…”

“Gold? no, that doesn’t sound right for him.” You two continued mulling it over, throwing out ideas for names, either not liking them, or putting them into consideration. That is, until you came up with another name:

“How about Solaris? Since he’s golden like the sun, and Solaris is a name that means of the sun, if I remember correctly.”

“Solaris…” Steven thought about it for a moment, looking down at the Charmander in his arms, who looked back up at him and smiled.

“I think it’s perfect.”

“Then that settles it. Welcome to the family, little Solaris.” You pet Solaris’ head, who smiled more and nuzzled against your hand, letting out happy cries.

“I think he likes it, Y/n.”

“I’m glad he does.” You hugged them both, looking up at Steven.

“I love you, Steven.”

“I love you too, Y/n.” He leaned down and kissed your cheek, you giving him one in return. “Now come on, let’s go show Solaris the world!” You let go of Steven and grabbed his hand, him holding your hand now as you practically dragged him outside, smiling and laughing. Steven chuckled a bit as he followed you outside, Solaris happily following behind you two.
