15 [ACTION/TEXT]

[bestsweater]

[A text/phone call to Raiden, from Kanto, dated Monday night.]

[Brock has been mysteriously absent most of the week. Starting Thursday, you might see him back around campus, but he's mostly holed himself in his room.

He is kind of scared to come out, but he at least makes a post to the network.]

Sorry I haven't been around recently. I had to go home to Kanto for a few days, but I'm back now.

I still have a few things to take care of, so I'll be in my apartment if anyone needs me.

ACTION BRACKETS

[natureprincess]

[At some point Thursday there was a knock on Brock's door. Were he to check the peep hole, there was totally a lady and also a three foot tentacle monster outside the door. She was trying to steal her phone back from its tentacled clutches and it wasn't working.]

["A few things to take care of" apparently is Brockspeak for "bake the sadness away and continue being conflict-avoidant".

But he is not rude. So he is going to answer the door. But he's going to answer the door looking like it's the most emotionally taxing thing he has ever done.]

Hi.

[natureprincess]

[She would understand if he hadn't opened it, though as far as she knows he doesn't know about the whole hanky panky thing. She immediately stops trying to grab her phone and isn't quite able to look him in the face.]

Hello...

...ah... May I come in...? If you're not busy.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[He steps away from the doorway! Omastar woobles and tentacles his way in, using said tentacles to hitch a ride on his trainer's shoulders.

Tentacles everywhere.]

Um. hrnk Yeah, you can come in.

[natureprincess]

[Aw that would have been totally adorable any other day. Okay it was still adorable even now but she couldn't really giggle over it.

SO she followed them in. And shut the door. And then she was bowing deeply in the middle of his living room. There was no beating around the bush here. Totally not awkward at all right?]

... I owe you every apology.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Brock made his way into the kitchen and pulled Omastar off him, placing him nearby a large, empty bowl that once held some delicious blondie batter. Omastar promptly crawled into the bowl.]

I mean, I...

Just kind of. Want. An explanation.

[natureprincess]

You deserve one. I wish I had one that was remotely acceptable. [She bit her lip.]

Monday was... Victreebel and Shiftry wouldn't let me out of the greenhouse and...I think I... [Oh god how does she even say that.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I saw it.

[natureprincess]

[Okay that jerked her head up and oh God.] You... saw...

[She's just going to look completely horrified and cover her face with her hands for a minute okay.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I was, um. Coming to get you in the greenhouse.

[natureprincess]

[A feeble nod. They had plans after all. ...Had.]

I... I honestly don't know how any of it... happened.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I mean, it's okay. If that's what you want.

[To be...a lesbean.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Okay. Okay.

He thinks he's got it. His hands go under the shirt and around her waist and sliiiiiiiiiiiiide their way up only to be met by the next obstacle.

THE BRA

WHAT DO

What results is some super-awkward trying to maneuver around it.]

[natureprincess]

[Oh goodness all the tickles she was especially ticklish around there. Wait what was... Brock what were you even doing down there.

Oh.

Oh right. Bras. Okay. That explained that.] Ah... wait. [She was going. To help you.]

[Dear Brock there is now a lady unbuttoning her blouse while she sits on your lap how do you feel.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[BROCK DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FEEL. He is still sort of trying to figure out the answer to his giant math problem.

"Let's stay in" + Bedroom + Erika + No sweater + Retrieval of new sweater not permitted + BED - Bra = ?????

This is so difficult. Please enjoy Brock just kind of sitting there patiently.

And awkwardly.

The awkward never goes away.]

[natureprincess]

[His awkward patience is rewarded! The wet sweater now has a small new companion. Wearing strapless most of the time meant the blouse got to stay mostly on which was great because actually she was kind of nervous herself.

BUT HEY LOOK.

Boobs.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Oh my god

It's boobs.

He's gonna. He's gonna reach out.

And touch the boobs.]

[natureprincess]

[Everyone wants some boobs.
You're gonna love it boobs.
Come on and get your boobs.
Everyone needs boobs.

Boobs boobs boo-- alright that's enough.

MEANWHILE that feels. Nice. She gives him a few moments alone with coping with the fact that he is touching boobs and they are real and someone actually wants him to touch them. Whoa. Now she's going to start with the smooches again and gently push him back onto the bed. Oh my.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Is this real life.

Okay. Okay SMOOCHES HE CAN DO. It's just the multitasking that's a problem. That, and the figuring out what exactly is going on here.

ERIKA BABE WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT

YOU'RE LIKE A REALLY HARD MATH PROBLEM.

But HE CAN DO IT. HE'S A MAN. So here he is, trying to find the right balance between making out and boobhonkin.

It is a challenge.]

[natureprincess]

[SHE WANTS YOU

Also you are doing a good job. She will reward you with kisses on your neck.

... Wait maybe you're not doing such a good job you might want to check on her.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Oh

Oh baby.

Brock is suddenly like wait babe what's going on maybe we should talk about this so I don't keep acting like a clueless idiot.]

Is everything okay?

[natureprincess]

[Oh.

Oh dang.

You know what would have been really unfortunate? Passing out during hot and heavy makeouts mmmmhmmm.

So uh. Don't look now but zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

At least she looks pretty happy???]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Okay wait.

Okay wait he's got it.

"Let's stay in" + Bedroom + Erika + No sweater + Retrieval of new sweater not permitted + BED - Bra + Pushing you backwards onto the bed = SHE WANTS TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU.

Brock is about to voice this stunning realization and find out if that is really what she wants but SUDDENLY.

She is asleep.

SHE FELL ASLEEP.

WAS IT HIS FAULT?

OH GOD HE WAS SO BAD SHE FELL ASLEEP.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Okay. It's okay. Maybe she didn't mean it.

Maybe

he'll just be a virgin forever.

And stare at the ceiling.

With Erika sleeping on top of him.]
