Prompt:
It is a one-sided love that Benji feels for
Müre. Firstly because of the difference in size, but also because Ben is so shy that he hasn't told her his feelings yet; in fact Müre has only seen him once or twice, as he hides as soon as their eyes meet.
But on this Valentine's Day, Ben got up the courage and strength to write a letter declaring all his feelings and deeply inhaling, decided to take a chance. He can't stand to live in waiting, in doubt, he needs to know if he has a chance and if not, to be able to take it upon himself to "give up".
"
Dear Müre" says the letter "
I know we hardly know each other, but I can no longer keep my feelings to myself. I need to share with you what I feel, the feelings that overflow and suffocate me when I see you. Your melodious laugh, your bright eyes and your silky coat are only the parts of you that I can compliment on paper, the rest of you being too beautiful for mere words to praise.
If I write this letter to you, it is with the hope that you will look favourably upon me and agree to become my valentine!
Full of love for you,
Benji."
With this little letter held between his fangs, a bow tie around his neck, and his fur shiny at its best, Ben walks with all his courage towards Müre, whom he can see in the distance making jokes to the couples walking around.
During a moment of Nitkit-Gengar fusion pause, he stands in front of her and with closed eyes hands her the letter. He shudders a little, because if she ignores him, he'll only take it as a rejection... but he feels the letter disappear from his paws and opens one fearful eye to see what Müre has done with it.
The prankster is reading his letter and if a trained eye could look at her, it would see that the tips of her ears are red. This is the first time she has received such a letter and she can't help but be touched.
"Hmmm," she says, leaning towards him, "I can't be your 'real' valentine. But we can get to know each other and maybe next year you'll be my Valentine." she teases with a mischievous smile.
Ben didn't have any expectations, in fact he didn't expect much at all. But a chance! A chance he would not refuse.
"Yes! Yes! Let's do it!" he hops up and down, barking his joy. The fox giggles her little "kekeke" as she sees the canine's movements. It's an interesting year ahead...
So it was "arm in arm" that Müre and Ben spent the day together. Pranks and laughter made up this unique day of the year, and Ben was all smiles, even when he saw some of the pokémon leaving in tears after Müre had humiliated them in front of their valentine.
If a little water on the head was enough to break a couple then it had better end soon or the heart would be broken much harder the more time passed.
Yes, Müre was the person who made his heart beat, and spending time, talking with her only reinforced that feeling. He had lied to himself that he could give up, he wouldn't be able to do that. He knew he couldn't help but watch her in the shadows, see who she talked to, who she laughed with, who she spent her time with... and if she spent too much time with someone, he couldn't help but become jealous and if he couldn't have her then why should anyone else be able to touch that perfect gem?
The Rockruff-Tinkatink's bright eyes glowed red for a moment, before his sweetheart's voice brought him to his senses. There was nothing to worry about at the moment. After all, he was the only one at his Princess's side.
