Adinitium Pokemon Center

Sean smiled and admired the boy across from him. He was particularly handsome in his own right. Not particularly manly or anything, but his timid nature and shyness managed to wriggle their ways into Sean's chest and play around with his heart rate and breathing. Both of which spiked at the young man's request. Sean opened his mouth to accept happily when... (I know this... he thought hastily) Mike came over and asked to sit with them. A small noncommittal noise came out of Sean's open mouth, which Mike must have took for an acceptance. Sean's smile drooped out of slight irritation, This kid he thought with contempt, Interrupting me and my moves... He returned his focus to the cutie in front of him, holding his buneary.

Sean's interest was perked when Mike brought up Amy. They had just met the day before, why would he be so worried? Unless... Sean thought, his gossip senses tingling, Awww, he's got a crush~ Choosing not to reply to him, in hope he might get the message to let the two others be, Sean kept these recent developments for later, maybe when he could divulge the information to someone.

After a few moments of quick debating in his head, Sean decided it was time to take action, “Anyway, before I was interrupted,” he said, trying not to sound too cross, “I'd love to accompany you and your adorable little friend here.” He inwardly grimaced and turned to Mike, “Do you want to join us?” He offered, “Mike!” he added quickly, probably revealing his mistake more than covering it up.

Mike considered it, but decided against it, “No thanks,” He replied, “I'm gonna stay here for a little bit.”

Sean inwardly threw his fist in the air, Sean gets alone time now!, “Alright, have a good day.” Sean turned and offered his hand to Josh. Part of him was screaming at him that it was too forward, but the rest of Sean cheered him on, “Come on,” he said with a smirk, “Lets get out of here.” His ego was swelling to dangerous levels.

Josh's face turned an obvious shade of scarlet, but hesitantly took the outstretched hand in his. The pair departed from the cafeteria together, hands clasped just longer than normally.

The walk from the pokemon center was a generally quiet one. The pair was followed by Josh's buneary and Sean's kricketot toddling along. Seanapillar was attached to Sean's shoulder securely. He was trying to suppress his habit (well, obsession) with being social. Slowly but surely, he could feel his bubbling need to converse grow inside him. It took a very strong force of will to keep quiet. Thankfully, Josh broke the silence, “S-so...” He said softly, “D-do you know where we're going?” He sounded just a bit nervous, which softened Sean's insides just a bit.

“Yeah, we're going to head south out of the city and head to the ferry to get us across the river,” Josh looked just a little bit intimidated, “Don't worry, I was there last night, we can handle any pokemon that'll come at us.” Sean beamed at his companion and affectionately touched his back.

Together, the two boys exited the city and headed off into Route 4, to continue their journey.
