‘And thank you for taking me here.’ That was all he mouthed before cuddling into her, very content with being next to her as he very, veerryyy lightly began to purr.
Rebecca couldn’t hear the purring but she felt the vibrations, recognizing them from when Triton had been an Eevee. She smiled in response, gently petting Kin’s quills as the light from the fireworks finale faded and the light of the festival lamps instead lit the cliffside.
He smiled right back at her, the fireworks casting them both in light as he reached over to her side and placed a hand on her side as he hugged her tightly.
Rebecca wrapped her arm around Kin, gently hugging him back, the fabric of her yukata sleeve draping over him. She looked down at him, mouthing a few words.
“This was wonderful, Kin. Thank you for coming with me.”
He absolutely loved this, smiling as he watched the fireworks give colour to the sky one by one.
When he felt her hand squeeze his, he looked up to her face to check if she was talking to him and…and…
…Rebecca really was pretty, wasn’t she? And the makeup, no matter how little just accentuated that fact. He couldn’t help but blush a little as he moved slightly closer to her, squeezing her hand as gently as he could as he moved.
“Wow!”
Rebecca gasped in amazement at the finale, hundreds of fireworks being shot into the sky. She blinked and turned to Kin, giving him a bright, warm smile as the fireworks finale lit her face in a soft glow.
The array of lights which would have normally been a bother to the hedgehog were instead making him smile in awe as he watched the various fireworks.
Rebecca smiled up at the fireworks, having taken out her hearing aids to simply enjoy the light and color. She gently squeezed Kin’s hand as she watched, her hair being blown a bit by the late summer winds.
Tens of fireworks lit up the summer night sky, bathing the area in various colors.
“Well, my feet are kinda big compared to the rest of me, so…”
It seemed all Mobians had incredibly large hands, and feet. Nothing that could be done about it. Fighting the nervousness, he slipped out of his boots, birthmarks glowing like a flashlight as he stepped into the sandals for the first time. There was something fascinating about wearing different shoes.
“Oh, they fit! I’m glad.”
“Walk around a bit to see how they feel. Are they comfortable enough to walk in?”
Rebecca’s own sandals were thankfully flat, as she couldn’t walk on the platform sandals most women wore to festivals.
Kin’s eyes instantly focused on the source of the bright light, watching in pure awe as the firework went off.
‘Oh wow…’
“Whoa!”
Rebecca gasped in awe at the many colors lighting up the night sky, almost making it daytime again as they burst into fiery bloom. Several shapes exploded into the dark sky, flowers, Pokemon, even colors that the former champion had never seen before.
He felt her tugging his hand, reading that as his cue to sit down beside Rebecca.
‘That was a good idea Rebecca. And I think I agree, the view looks great from here.’
“Yup, it’s great-”
Just then, the first firework went up, lighting the sky in a brilliant blue followed by a bright red burst.
“Ah, it’s starting!”
‘…That would be quite the attention grabber.’
Keeping a tight grip of the female’s hand, he stayed close by her side as they walked up to the cliff up the road. When he saw their spot, he raised his head a little higher to look more.
‘…I like this spot.’
“Indeed.”
Rebecca held onto Kin’s hand until they were at the blanket, sitting down before gently tugging him down to sit as well.
“I’m glad. I asked a security guard friend of mine to reserve this spot cause it has the best view.”
‘You’re welcome.’
The ebony hedgehog walked alongside her, assured by the squeeze of his hand.
While trying not to get nervous from the lack of light.
‘Would somewhere high be a sufficient spot to watch them?’
“Mhm. That’s why were going to the cliff at the edge of Undella to watch. I asked them to reserve the spot so we wouldn’t get any nosy tourists or rabid fans.”
Thankfully, the lanterns the townsfolk put up chose that moment to flicker on, illuminating the path with a soft white glow as they walked. The sun had just set about a half an hour before and the sky was perfectly dark for fireworks.
“We’re almost in Undella so ignore anyone who run up and ask for autographs, okay?”
“I’ll go all the way. I’ll wear sandals.”
Silver could handle taking his gloves and boots off now that he had become a little more self confident. He would be nervous, but he could handle it, as long as no one yelled at him. The yukata was strange, but fascinating at the same time, and he rather enjoyed wearing it. It may have been on the tall side, but it certainly fit his round figure.
“Alright. Good thing I’ve got a spare pair of sandals. They’re a bit big though, I hope you don’t mind.”
Rebecca went through the slipper cabinet and came back with a pair of sandals, offering them to Silver.
“Here ya go. They’re a large children’s size. There’ll most likely be a bunch of Pokemon in yukatas there so you’ll blend right in.”
