Description
Gold has a new pet
Its name is Shuppet.
A loud yawn could be heard from the gloomy vicinity, a raven-haired male standing amidst the merciless downpour of the rain as he watched a Ghost Pokémon playing in the rain, dull eyes shows distinct boredom. His Typhlosion costume getting wet by the shimmering, beautiful raindrops; yet how much beauty it held, the sparkling water still held pitiless cold that seeped through his clothes. He didn’t mind the cold touch of the drizzle, his attention off to somewhere after all. Today is Halloween, he should be having fun…but why do he feel so empty? This is unlikely of him, the typical Gold always has that goofy bright smile all day…yet he can’t even muster an expression of happiness…he has no idea…
Why should he be happy anyway?
Before his mind could delve deeper into depressive thoughts, a cry from a certain Pokémon him back to reality. He eyed the Shuppet suspiciously.
Is this Pokémon the reason behind all of this?
Highly unlikely. The Pokémon had just started following him yesterday, whilst this unexplainable feeling of negativity has been boggling him for days. To be honest, having that Shuppet around him is…oddly comforting. Don’t get him wrong, he likes the company of his Pokémon, but this Pokémon is a different case…
A sneeze interrupted his thoughts. The chilly temperature getting to him.
He better dry off for now…
The pitter-patter of the rain was all his ear ever greeted, well, except for the occasional noise from the Shuppet. This rundown sheltered playground makes the sprinkle of water peaceful; the atmosphere making him drowsy all of a sudden. He closed his eye, but soon opened it when he heard footsteps in front of him.
“Huh? Gold? You’re here too?”
He couldn’t believe it, but laid in front of his eyes is your surprised form, you wet Gardevoir costume clinging to your figure and your glossy (h/c) hair chaotic and drenched by the rain.
Is she the reason perhaps? Is it because of that jealousy that made him walk out earlier?
He shook his head, you shouldn’t be the one to blame. In fact, you’re always the one who can manage to bring a genuine smile to his lips. Even in the saddest of times, even in the darkest of hours. Just by having your presence made his heart leap through heaps of comfortable warmth. He sent you a knowing smirk, before winking at said person. “Hey (y/n). On what reason the princess decided to go here? Oh and that wet looks sexy on ya~”
You raised your brow at his usual antic, before rolling your eyes in obvious annoyance. You didn’t really appreciated his compliment right now, especially if this bothersome soaked get-up makes you shiver when a chilly wind past by; however, aside his perverted remark, he seems a little bit…off.
Must have been the effect of the weather…
You then sat down beside the male, putting good distance between the two of course. Afterwards, what follows is a relaxing silence, both individuals enjoying each other’s company. Gold’s unusual quietness bothered you, he isn’t like this, though you’re not complaining. At least you were isolated from the animated laughter and noises from before…
A sudden movement from the corner of your eyes made you raise your gaze. A Shuppet came into view. Now you weren’t surprised to see Ghost Pokémons every now and then, it is Halloween after all; although, that type of Pokémon has a notable reluctance for appearing in front of humans. Is it Gold’s Pokémon?
As curiosity sparked your interest, you tapped the other male’s shoulder, effectively catching his attention.
“So…why did you leave us earlier?”
The male only shrugged, not having the desire to voice his thoughts. “I don’t know. I just wanted to be alone I guess.”
What a white lie.
“You’re acting a bit weird today.”
“Why is that?”
You merely shrugged. “Nothing, considering that whenever you see me, you’ll be clinging to me like there’s no tomorrow and complimenting me with your nonstop perverted humor.”
He couldn’t help but let a half-hearted smirk be visible from his face, at least his consistent allurement has an effect to you. Leaning a bit closer towards you, he watched how your cheeks react from the warm breath from his lips. You leaned back in response. “Let’s cuddle then~ I’m cold and I wanted the warmth of a certain angel…”
You pushed back the face of the annoying male. A miniscule blush adorning her cheeks. “S-Shut up Gold, why would I do t-that? A-Anyhow, look, the rain is lessening up.”
The golden-eyed male look up at the sky to confirm what you were saying. It is indeed lessening up.
“And we should probably go back, Blue must have been worried sick…Green must be too…”
Upon hearing the brunette’s name from your mouth, all playfulness left his face. Despite the situation only between you and him, Green is still constant within the depths of your mind…something he despised.
Why can’t he be the certain of your attention?
Ah yes, he is never a significant part in everyone’s life…merely a replaceable toy…
“…ey Gold! Hey Gold! Earth to Gold! Yoohoo.”
He blinked once. Twice. Thrice. Before he realized he was too occupied with his thoughts. The look you were giving is one of worried. That made his freezing heart somehow kindled with little joy. At least you are worried…
“Uhh sorry sorry. I guess this weather is getting to me hehe…”
Your creased eyebrows relaxed as you leaned back to your sit. “I thought that Shuppet was finally possessing you. On second thought…how did you attract that Pokémon anyway?”
“I really don’t know, maybe I’m that attractive, even Pokémons are charmed by me.” The smug grin evident on his face might be one of his usual ones, but the camouflaged dejection lingering on his gold eyes was an abnormality.
“…You should too~” He added.
“Uggh Gold stop.” You whined, finding his flirtatious approach annoying. If anything else, you should be worried about his constant mood change…you’re getting kinda worried…something is really off about him today…
“Oh yes, from what I know, Shuppets are attracted by anger and jealousy…Are you somewhat angry or feel a little bit jealous?”
That made him pause for a while. The fake humor behind now nonexistent across his visage. Is that really the reason why that Pokémon stalks him around? Why he is feeling rather depressed these days? Because he is angry? Because he is jealous? Of what? Of whom?
Green Oak.
Not knowing the foreboding expression your companion has, nor the dark thoughts that overshadowed his mind, you stand up, a yawn escaping from your lips. A cold breeze then went past your bare legs, making it slightly quiver. Grumbling about a certain best friend as you tried covering your legs even more with that…scanty skirt.
“I hate Blue for forcing me into this…skimpy dress. I wanted that Muk costume more…oh well at least Green likes this…” As you continued your way looking at the playground, your cheeks flushed with a pink hue; however unbeknownst to you, Gold has witness the adoration within your eyes when Green’s name rolled off your tongue.
He didn’t like that.
Why won’t you look at him like that? Why won’t you like him? He always tried his best to charm you, to have you; however, the odds isn’t really in his favor…
He craved for your love, he wanted it, but you wanted someone else’s…
He’s tired, tired of being ignored. Tired of being an extra character in this ridiculous play. He sought your beautiful (e/c) only looking at him, and only him…how could he do that? Is there such a way?
Kill them
His eyes widened at the heinous voice inside his head. Ominous laughter ringing throughout his mind. In the midst of his fear, a creature’s eyes were upon him with eerie intent.
The male’s erratic emotion are such a delicacy…
They don’t deserve her…
Gold gritted his teeth as the voice continued to assault his poor mind with unforgivable ideas. Was he even worthy of your love? Is he even deserving? He…doesn’t, yet he still clung to this little dream that someday…someday…he could be with you…He’ll just wait right? Right?
They stole her.
They’re only a burden. A nuisance. A pest.
A wet sensation pricked his eyes.
Kill them.
They made you suffer.
Tears bound to flow.
You won’t have her when they still exist.
His will already drowning from the sweet embrace of corruption.
KILL THEM
KILL THEM
KILL THEM
A pained scream made you jump back from fright. You quickly whipped around and saw Gold on his knees, his hands gripping his head harshly, to the point where his scalp could get wounds. Without any hesitation, you rushed to his side.
“G-Gold what’s wrong…Gold! Gold!” Hands of yours shaking his shoulder, trying to snap him out of it. The poor male was repeatedly yelling out for it to stop. The voices inside his head overwhelmed his senses, he couldn’t even see you trying to ease him nor your concerned voice whispering in a futile endeavor.
Your actions were never making any progress. The male too shrouded in his own sufferings. (E/c) eyes of yours possessed a growing panic. And in the spur of the moment and your desperation to ease Gold, you embraced him, despite your clothes being wet. You then began to caress the back of his hair. His quivering form visibly relaxed within your warm embrace. Erratic breaths now turned into occasional whimpers. You were inside his tight embrace as well, the male pulling you too close for comfort; however, you shouldn’t be minding that right now.
“Gold what’s wrong?…” You asked, as soft as possible, cautious not to provoke the frantic male. What caused him to be like this? You knew something could be bothering his mind, but not to this point where you could hear his anguish scream, telling it to stop.
“…Hey (y/n)…tell me…do you love Green?” Gold asked as he started playing with the smooth locks of your (h/c) hair.
That weird question made you slightly flinch, thinking why would he ask that kind of question while he’s literally a mess.
“U-uhh no…I don’t like him.”
He certainly didn’t like that lie, nor did he like your feelings for that scum.
His hands instantly ceased fondling your hair, while his grip began to tighten, making you tense. Your eyes now broadening with unknown terror.
“Lies.”
Before you knew it, Gold had you pinned on the ground. Your hands locked above you in his ironclad grip. His own body dangerously straddling your own. Gold eyes piercing your soul, making your blood ran cold.
“Wha-Gold! What are you doing?! If this is a prank please sto-”
“Why won’t you love me? Why can’t you love me?”
His pained voice made you guilty…He loves you? Now that information is completely new to you. Sure you were used to his flirtatious attitude towards you, but you never deemed them as anything but jokes.
You never knew he loves you…never knew his secret. Twinging in pain was your heart, the organ beating in mixed terror and pain.
Seeing your frightened expression, the pressure on your wrist tightened. Gold let out a bitter chuckle, his voice cracking at the end. “Maybe I should just force you to love me then.”
Thus, your futile struggles to escape his grasp began, although such act was futile against his. Tears pricking on your eyes as you felt him closing the gap, him giving you a passionate yet bruising kiss.
To him, it felt heaven itself. He knew your lips are soft, but finally kissing you with his own lips broke his expectations. The embers known as his love ignited into flickering wildfire, its warmth spreading across his body, rendering his body with shivers of pleasure. The voices within his head gone in an instant, replaced cloud nine. Forgetting your act of opposition and the sound of disgust exiting your mouth, he tried deepening the kiss.
Your struggles became weaker and weaker overtime, body becoming too tired to push the male away. You can’t believe he’ll do such thing…then again, you’re the one who made him suffer, made his heart twist in pain...
Tears now brimmed and flowed down your cheek, sobbing as Gold continued to assault you. The raven-haired male felt the wetness of your cheek and pulled back. His eyes widening upon seeing you crying.
Realization slapped him so hard…
He harassed you…
Instantly, shame overtook his body, his eyes now can’t look at your (e/c) eyes clouded in warm tears.
As much as he wanted those lips on him…
His obsession made him to the unthinkable…
He’s the worst.
“…I’m…sorry…” Was all he can tell before he let go of your bruised wrist, his head down in guilt. Without wasting any time, he dashed out of the playground, his own tears running across his face and falling to the ground.
With muscles still frozen with shock, and a brain still processing all that disgusting events in your head, you let yourself lie in the ground. Tears still nonstop. No one will witness your pitiful form sprawled across the ground, not even any Pokémon.
Not even the Shuppet playing there a while ago…
For it is already within him, playing with his fragile emotions.
A war. War between his rational and irrational mind is tearing him apart. Gold should be ashamed after harassing you against your will…yet…deep down…he craved to touch you again…every part of you.
Be possessive.
Another wave of pain greeted his head, pain caused by a sadistic creature. It continued to torment his poor mentality, encouraging the golden-eyed male with sadistic intentions.
Needless to say, witnessing the trainer down on his knees, begging for salvation granted the malevolent spirit with pure delectation.
You love her right? Then kill for her.
It is all for her sake.
No one should be an obstacle between you and her.
Even how hard he yells, how much tears shed, the voices has no plan on stopping. It’ll never stops its plan brainwashing the male.
Altering his rational mind.
Amending what’s true and correct.
It continued for several minutes until he is only a sobbing mess. The floor has been wet with only his tears from anguish. Dark, bitter thoughts plaguing his head, thoughts that revolves around you. And only you.
But would you think about him, and only him?
Such lie
However, he is intent on changing that…
A growing insane look was now in his eyes as his lips turned into a crooked smile. He reached for his Pokégear and contacted your number.
At the end of this day, you’ll definitely be his…
You returned to your friends with a puffy face apparently from crying. They keep bombarding you with questions that’s too sensitive you can’t answer. As much you wanted to tell the truth, you still consider the raven-haired male as your friend…he is just…affected by his emotions…most likely…
So to stop them from asking you even more, you just made an excuse of tripping from a rock and thus making you cry. They seem to believe your lie, albeit half-heartedly.
“Mama (y/n)! Look! Your child is worried-sick about you.” An all-too-familiar voice yelled towards you. Before you could turn around, a small creature hugged your leg. Looking down, you only saw your shiny Ralts who looks really worried about your puffy face.
You then patted the Pokémon’s head, earning a contented cry from her. Even with the heartwarming scene laid before your eyes, a solemn smile still dawned on your face.
No doubt you were still affected by that.
“Aww~ Hang on, let me take a picture!” Someone suddenly yelled, a click then a flash emitting from the source.
Standing up, you stared at the blonde girl with a camera on her hands. You gave Ashelia a small smile before gesturing everyone to listen. “G-guys, I think I’m going home early.”
You received nods of approval from them, and a whining Blue. You could help but giggle at her usual antics, Blue’s clinginess never change…
Approaching you with an outstretched hand was Red, still wearing his Dracula costume. He must be offering you to walk home. As much as you like to accept the offer, you don’t want to disrupt him or anyone. He suddenly looks disappointed at your rejection but kept still insisted.
So in the end, the persistent you won and here you are now, walking down the quiet aisle to your home.
Cold breeze nibbled the vulnerable area of your body, making you quiver every now and then. The rain might have stopped but the wind still continues its fun causing discomfort to people. This day has been very…eventful…to say the least. You never knew the golden-eyed male would do such thing, and just thinking about what happened caused a chill running up and down your spine.
Gripping Ralt’s Pokéball, you continued your way home. Ralts is the only Pokéball you brought outside, and would be the only one to protect you against dangers. If there would be. Earlier has been too dreadful and you don’t want to repeat that again…
The streets…are awfully quiet for a Holiday, not that you were complaining, it is just odd encountering none along your way. The peaceful silence made you at ease…it somehow soothed your tensed form. But that fleeting moment of silence were gone when your Pokégear suddenly lit up and blared an obnoxious loud alarm.
Your heart leap with terror upon seeing who your caller is.
Would you answer it? Or would you rather not?
Gold might done that unforgivable act…but he still is your friend. He’s there when you’re feeling down, happy and angry. A friend that has always been there…
With a sigh, you decided to give him a chance as you pressed the button to answer his call.
“…(y/n) I’m sorry…I really am…”
You were silent for a moment, contemplating the words that you are planning to say. You then let out that words with a forlorn smile plastered on your face. “I can’t really bear any grudges, although...as much I wanted to…forgive you…Gold, I can't."
The other line became silent, only the intervals of his breath was the only indication you were still connected.
"B-But if you'll never planning to do that again...I might..forgive you. Don't be that gloo-"
“…Can you please come here? I’m not going to do something again! But please…just please someone comfort me...”
He sounded sincere enough.
Your hand hovered around Gold’s door, contemplating if this is a good idea to itself. You never know if he is merely faking it so you could be in his sickening hold again; although, he sounded genuine enough so he probably won’t do it right? Right?
With an absolute conclusion, you knock on the door lightly. Hearing no response, you knock again, this time with more force. Again there is only silence.
Eerie silence...
Suddenly, your gut began to twist in painful horror. Why would you feel dread? He’s not going to do anything right? Right? With a bated breath, you attempted to knock a third time…
Only for it to be opened before you could knock. Appendages taking hold of your arms, pulling you forward. You let out a scream but was soon covered by someone’s hand.
With widen eyes, you immediately raise your gaze.
The only thing you saw was his insane grin, before mysterious sleep overtook your mind.
You fell right into his trap…
“I now have you~” He cooed stroking the cheek of your unconscious body. It may be the day for Halloween, day of the dead and anything made of terror; however, this is his own Valentines Day.
The day he finally have his love…
“Sweet dreams…”
Gold has a new pet.
Her name is (y/n).
