JUST, WOW😳💕💖💕

This was lovely to read!!

You can't imagine how much fun I had reading Larry, I could really imagine him acting and saying those things, it's wonderful!!☺️🥹

#silverstreakshippingweek yeah!!!

🔥🍙Day 1: Confession / Battle🍙🔥

A blazing fire engulfs Centiskorch's long body as he curls himself into a ring, rolling in a blur at his target. In the blink of an eye, Staraptor takes flight, just missing those barreling flames. Kabu watches his opponent with a seasoned Leader's eye. Larry is an experienced Gym Leader as well, but Kabu's thrown him off guard. Larry tenses, fully at attention. This is not the routine series of battle commands he's so used to. Kabu hides his pleased smile as he assumes coach mode.

"Use Brave Bird," Larry orders his hovering Pokemon. Staraptor's body glows with a blue aura, which appears to shield him from the flames. He dives down and straight at Centiskorch, tackling him head-on. Staraptor recoils from the intense attack, shaking off the damage done to himself.

Centiskorch is not in much better shape. "Now, while it's stunned, Fire Spin!" shouts Kabu.

Larry clenches a fist. He's really invested in this battle, and Kabu is pleased to see it. "Quick, Aerial Ace!" he shouts, almost panicked. In a grey blur, Staraptor speeds through the spinning flames to attack Centiskorch directly, beak first. It's extremely effective — Centiskorch wobbles while the flames he's controlling vanish into thin air. And then all nine feet of him collapse to the ground.

"Ah—" Larry says softly, the stunned look having not left his grey eyes.

"Congratulations." Kabu's smile comes out in full force now. "I knew you had a fire in you. We just had to bring it out one way or another."

Larry just pets the back of his Staraptor’s neck, lost in thought. “Huh,” he answers after a moment. “I really didn’t think we’d beat you.”

Staraptor whips around to his trainer with an indignant squawk. “Sorry,” Larry tells him. “But Kabu’s strong. He puts his all into battling, he’s determined to win.”

“In the end, I just couldn’t beat a member of the Elite Four.” Kabu strides across the field to join the winners. “You two are strong as well. I’m quite impressed.” He holds his hand out to Staraptor, and, earning his approval, starts stroking his neck feathers. “I could benefit from training with some of your tactics. There’s still a lot I have to learn.”

“Eh.” Larry shrugs. “I don’t think I do anything that calculated. Just whatever seems best for the situation. Makes sense to me.”

Kabu laughs sharply. “Ha! A genius at work. And he doesn’t even know it. So, per the terms of our wager, it appears I owe you dinner.”

Larry’s stomach lets out an audible growl. “Mm… that’s a good idea. Battles tend to increase my appetite.”

Kabu grins up at him. Larry’s face is expressionless, but Kabu can tell from his eyes (at least, from this angle) that he’s proud of his win and eager for a nice meal.

"Hmm… I'm up for anything, really," Larry says with a shrug.

"Well, what's your favorite dish?"

Larry rubs the back of his neck, staring off to the side. "Honestly? I really like onigiri. They're simple, but you can add just about any flavor you want. Plain ones are good too."

"I know just the place, then. I passed it on my jog this morning. I could go for an onigiri or two myself, now that you mention it. Or some nigiri."

"Tatsugiri's?" Larry asks. "I went there for my first meal in Pasio. It's excellent." He sends his Staraptor back to his ball as the two of them leave the battlefield.

"Glad to hear it! Mind if I grab a shower first? I worked up a bit of a sweat there."

"Uh… I guess not, but you look fine. It's just a friendly bet dinner, not a business meeting."

Kabu laughs softly, shaking his head. "Larry, I've got a bit of a confession to make."

"Oh?"

"I challenged you to a battle and set that wager so I'd have a good reason to ask you to dinner."

Larry blinks. "Mm? You could've just said 'let's go to dinner.' There's no need to overcomplicate things."

"True… but as a fellow Gym Leader, I knew you'd enjoy going up against me. Analyzing my skill, studying my reactions. As I did yours. I think we're on the same page here. I'd like to take you out to dinner… as a date."

"Oh," says Larry. Then his thick eyebrows shoot up to his hairline. "Ohhh."

"What do you say?" Kabu smiles, holding back laughter at how cute he looks stun-spored like that.

"I'd say you want to go out with a boring guy like me?"

"Sure I do. And you're not so boring. I felt your passion on the battlefield, and I know there's more where that came from."

Larry flushes, clearing his throat and loosening his tie. "Guess I'd better go get cleaned up a bit too…"

"That's the spirit." Kabu pats his back. It's great fun making him flustered. This is going to be a delightful evening.

HOW PRECIOUSSSS! AHHHHH!!!🍙🔥💖💕💖💕💖💕😩☺️

I loved sm all the HCs🙏🏻🥹

I had some problems that prevented me from posting the work for silverstreakshippingweek

But it's all right now! I hope to finish the rest of the work before the end of the week 🤞

So, in this work, I was going to combine the topics of the first and second day. So it's a mix of "confession" and "living together".

He is just indescribably happy and confused at the same time 🤭

My headcannons, for which this work was done :

• During their stay at Pacio, Larry and Kabu spent quite a lot of time together to realize that they were very comfortable in each other's presence. After declaring their love, they often began to stay the night with each other and eventually now it is difficult for them to fall asleep separately.

• Larry offered Kabu to live together after Pacio, but Kabu refused for a long time. As a result, they came to the conclusion that they would spend all the long holidays together.

• Kabu decided to make it his duty to make Larry run in the morning in order to maintain his "fighting spirit" (Larry hates running in the morning and Kabu realized this a long time ago, although he tries not to notice).

• When they live together on vacation, Kabu usually cooks. Larry is delighted with his food.

• Kabu likes to read and often stays up late with a book (this really pisses Larry off).

• Kabu and Larry have paired rings, but only Kabu wears a ring on his hand. Larry's ring is hidden under his business suit, he wears it on a chain.

• Kabu likes to wake Larry up with a kiss, while Larry prefers not to wake Kabu at all when he is asleep (because he thinks he is insanely cute)

• Larry usually cleans the house. Kabu is only responsible for the food.

• Kabu likes to wear Larry's old T-shirts at home. They're loose, comfortable, and they smell like his boyfriend 🤭.

• They collect souvenirs from places they've been together, whether it's stadium badges, rare Pokemon cards or small trinkets.

• Larry often brings some work home, but in the end he never does it, as Kabu always draws attention to himself.
