‘Uh, oops sorry I didn’t mean to.’

Understandable, Kin was not exactly the leading expert on how to behave around small creatures, as evident here.

He relaxed himself a little more, allowing the small Pokemon to nibble on his finger before it then moved on to sniff at Rebecca’s hand and then to nibble that too.

“It’s alright, hun. You’re new at this, it’s understandable.”

Rebecca kept herself relaxed, her other hand very gently gave the tiny Eevee scritchies under it’s chin, unaware that a warm, gentle smile made it’s way onto her face.

“I’m glad that we were able to hatch this little one, Kin. We did it.”

Oh. Oh! Let it sniff him first, hmm yes that made sense to Kin. No loud noises, easy for Kin he barely made any. He was more than happy to old his hand out for the little Eevee to sniff…

…What he did not expect was for it to instead nibble on his finger, making small chirping sounds as it did so.

Internal screaming.

“Oh Arceus that is so adorable…”

Rebecca let out a quiet squeaking noise, causing the tiny Eevee to chirp in response. The former champion carefully offered her own hand to the newborn Pokemon, mentally screeching as she did so due to how adorable this was. She quietly spoke with a small smile.

“Kin, y’gotta relax. The little one’ll be just as tense and jumpy as you are.”

Ah, it was out of the egg! And oh my did Kin fall in love instantly with the newborn ball of fluff. It was tiny, which he did notice, but that didn’t detract from how much he was resisting the urge to just cuddle the Eevee and let it know how cute it was.

Rebecca barely resisted letting out a squeal at the soft chirps as she gently took Kin’s hand. She moved both their hands to the little Pokemon to allow it to get a whiff of both their scents. She kept her voice soft so she wouldn’t startle the newborn Eevee.

“Like this, Kin. Just let it sniff you a bit and it’ll be fine with you giving it a hug. It looks like this one has a timid nature so don’t make any loud noises.”

youbelievebutwhatyousee:

He couldn’t help but smile at Rebecca’s excitement. He was just as excited as she was but she looked utterly adorable to the hedgehog.

Rebecca’s attention turned back to the egg just as a tiny tuft of cream and brown poked out of the egg. Her hands were over her mouth to keep from startling the little one with a squeal.

Then a tiny paw cracked another part of the egg and the entire thing fell straight apart, revealing a tiny Eevee, it’s eyes shut as it chirped quietly and sniffed the air around it.

youbelievebutwhatyousee:

Yawn. Tired Kin was tired, a quiet sound of protest at being awoken, one eye opening, then he saw the egg was hatching. In an instant, Kin shot up with full attention towards the cracking egg.

Rebecca looked quite excited, a bright smile on her face as she sat on her futon.

“We did it, Kin! It’s hatching!”

Rebecca awoke to vibrations from the egg incubator in her and Kin’s arms, her eyes snapping open as she gently shook Kin awake. She carefully took the egg out of the incubator, gently placing it on her own pillow, the shell cracking just slightly.

Kin is just going to cling tightly to her, trembling at both the fact that he was bleeding & hurting and that he just socked someone in the face out of rage.

“It hurts…hands hurt…” was all about he managed to get out before burying his face into her shoulder, just about ready to let tears fall.

Rebecca started to hum, remembering that the vibrations of it helped comfort him.

She kept humming, gently petting his quills as she held him close.

youbelievebutwhatyousee:

He couldn’t hear her but he was sure as hell looking for her, his now severely burnt up hands hidden in his cloak so as not to freak out anyone who saw him.

He saw her! And was now heading straight for Rebecca, looking completely panicked and hurting as he proceeded to cling to the human.

Rebecca knelt on the ground, holding Kin close and tight.

She gently pet his quills, simply kneeling there as he clung to her. The first aid kit was sitting by her feet, forgotten as she tried to comfort him.

-faint distant squeaking because no headphones-

‘Oh…but Rebecca, the…whatever inside will be alright won’t it?’

“Well, I’m not really sure, Kin… eggs of this size don’t tend to hatch… But if we take care of it, I’m sure it’ll hatch.”
