Luna and Thief Ch: 2 New Friends
The stars seemed endless as they twinkled and softly lit up the night sky with gentle kisses that brushed against the small clouds above her. How she came to terms with this Pokemon trainer was still confusing. He's different... odd, but it's a good kind of odd. Luna rested her neck down and watched up into the darkness of the night. I don't like the look of those clouds it feels like it may rain again. In the moment she closed her eyes, thinking back to his face. The trainer offered food first; whatever he said she couldn't hear him, she couldn't hear any human. He held out a Pokeball after as if wanting her to choose. He's a different trainer that's definite. For whatever reason - and for the first time in a very long time - Luna was touched by the kindness of a human being and his Pokemon. Luna felt warm and it wasn't just because she was next to a campfire yet she also felt alone all the same. Everyone around the campfire, the trainer, Thief, Bandit, Moonlight, Pikachu, and Marill all seemed to have a place. They're all like a family.... And their campsites quickly become like a home. Whenever Luna notices them smiling, so happy with this young trainer she seemingly felt evidently lonelier when staying in the corner of the campfire. A whole different world lay hardly a few centimeters across from her, but she couldn't help but smile when she noticed Thief's face brim with happiness. Thinking of him like that made her blush red and bury her face deep into her paws. Why am I thinking of Thief like this? Is it because of that mistake?_Luna played the scene through her mind again and again but she shortly realized that she was picturing it without the berry separating them both and that really didn't help her at all. All she could do was bury her muzzle into her paws once more and look up into the night sky. "Oh Fire's dying down." The trainer stood up and walked from the firelight Luna assumed that he went out to find more firewood. The sound of a peaceful river coursing through the night was nearby, they all decided to stay back for just a while longer before reaching Pewter City. Luna almost believed it was to test her, just to see if the newest Pokemon would back out or not. _So far I don't see anything wrong in my choice."Is that right?" A voice preached her, his voice a sounding wisp that clasped down against Luna's ears. "You haven't learned anything have you?" Luna sat up, looking around in confusion. I know that voice? But from where?"Hey Luna." Thief scared her once again causing her fur to jolt up. "What are you doing?" He asked his head tilted to the left with a curious look. He's definitely not young, just naïve."Just daydreaming... I guess." She looked up to the stars again, this time marveled at the sight of a shooting star that shot across the sky. "Uh." Thief made the sound, an odd nervous sound that made her turn. "Thanks, for today." He was blushing and nervously playing with his paws. Luna felt the blood rush to her head. "Oh! N- No problem... I should be the one thanking you actually." "Really?" "Well I probably still would be starving if it wasn't for your offer." Some chuckling came from behind them. "I swear it almost looks like you two are going to kiss." Bandit's two cents made Luna notice how close she was to Thief's face, all her blood rushed to her head she almost felt a little dream-like. "It's kinda cute honestly." The large dog chuckled a little more than rested her head down for the night. Luna's felt in some way a little hopeless, she hardly knew this Growlithe but for some reason she was already attached to him. To Thief, Luna was much the same. "I." Luna began. "I guess she's sorta... kinda right..." Her head sunk low she knew that Thief was stunned, paralyzed by her words. "Well uh..." Thief started. "I feel like I've known you forever... I mean have we met before?" From the edge of the shadows the blonde-haired trainer came back into the firelight. He threw more wood on the fire and looked up to the sky. Shortly after his eyes landed on Bandit; Luna turned and watched in a small wonder as the trainer pulled out a thick sage winter-like jacket and put it over-top of Bandit. He's right... it does feel like I've met him before. Maybe that's why I feel so... attached. The trainer had crept into his sleeping bag and fallen asleep by now, Luna couldn't believe she was already considering this to a person she's just met. "L - Luna?" Thief nervously stuttered when her face came close to his. She was blushing looking at him with starry eyes. I've met him before. A little closer to him now, so close; Luna pictured the berry. I just don't know where. She did it their muzzles pressed together. His eyes were wide open hers were narrow, hidden behind a hot-red blush that let her exchange licks. Thief was solid confused with what to do, just blushing from Luna's tongue that pressed tenderly against his mouth and beneath his chin. "Luna..." Rubbing her muzzle up against his, she realized exactly what she had done. Her first kiss... the first one given to an oddly familiar stranger, she had to push away. "I - I'm sorry." Luna sunk her head down. "Luna." She stepped out from the fire, from the broad star-filled sky above and headed towards a small nearby boulder. "I - I'm just going to sleep over there. I'm so sorry I just -" "I - It's okay, I understand." Thief said walking the opposite way. "A- Are you going to be cold? I mean you're far from the fire." Luna was still red-faced. "No! I'll be okay." She went through the effort of convincing him and stepped towards the rock just out of the fire-lights reach; a soft grassy spot seemed to just be conveniently there. Lying down Luna's eyes looked up to the churning clouds and that made her second-guess herself. I really don't like rain at all. Curling up her beautiful tails covered her face as if hiding from Thief's eyes. Shortly she closed hers just as the sound of thunderclaps hit overhead.

A decent hour had passed with the twisting and turning and the sounds of pattering rain. Thief was worried and he couldn't sleep being so worried as he was. I got to see her, it's really pouring out right now! She must be freezing cold._He stood up and trudged out from under the small shelter that covered everyone from the rain, everyone except Luna who was shivering in the darkness alone. Powerful gusts of wind stabbed at him like the wingbeats of a Pidgeot. _Gosh it must be a passing storm! The rain struck down relentlessly against him. I hope the river doesn't flood over, that's happened to us once before. His thoughts were nothing but his motivation to keep on moving and it really didn't take him long. Thief discovered that he was right it was only a passing storm that had fallen further up river and was already gone. Luna was there, almost entirely soaked through. She's going to catch a cold. Thief picked her up, it was the first time he noticed how small she was, about half his size. Surprisingly still sleeping Luna slumped over Thief's back and he began going to the slowly dying fire. Luna... she looks adorable when she's asleep!_Thief slowly began to blush, he felt as if he'd seen it before. Shaking away the thoughts he quietly relit the fire and cuddled up close to her. With his body close up to hers he nuzzled into her neck fur and drew her scent in. _It's so familiar, I know her scent... this is weird. Thief thought to himself and snuggled up tight. Thief could see her face, feel that Luna stopped shivering and in the midst of her sleep she seemed to smile softly.
