Bursting Heat By Olemgar/rodrigulino for DayBreakShifter Story contains: Male/Female, HumanXFeral, Poképhilia, Love. “Solaris, dodge it, quick!” The command echoed from the young adult, warning the Pokémon in front of him. Acknowledging his warning, the shiny Eevee swiftly moved to the left, letting the metal sound wave hit the ground instead of her body. She looked back and nodded in thanks for the heads up. “Chival!” The Chivalreon said in her poké-speech, adjusting her metal helmet on top of her head. She had confidence clear in her face and step, donning her armor with pride. “Not bad, Theresia. But you don’t need to take it easy with us. We need you going all out so we can improve as well.” The human, named Violet, a young man with brown and silver hair wearing a thematically appropriate violet shirt, commended his other Pokémon, the metal type Eeveelution. “Right, Solaris?” He asked his other partner. “Y-Yeah! Give us all you got, Thery!“ Solaris said to her partner, readying herself for whatever might come next. “Val!!!” With the go-ahead given for her to go all out, she barely waited for them to be finished speaking for her to tackle the Eevee with an Iron Head. Neither the trainer nor Pokémon were quick enough to react to the coming attack. “Aaaaaaaah!” Solaris screamed out, being knocked a few feet back. “Solaris!” He screamed out to his Eevee, seeing her finally land near the edge of the impromptu arena. She winced at the recoil, but with the usage of her silver tail, she was able to get back up. It seemed to do some damage, but her eyes were as fiery as ever. “Are you okay?” Her trainer yelled out. “Y-Yeah…” She answered, taking advantage of their bond to exchange clear words. “She’s got a pretty tough head, that’s for sure. But nothing that I can’t handle.” She shook her body to let any dust on her body fly out of her fur. “Valreon?” Theresia asked towards Solaris, with some worry clear on her face. “I’m good. Don’t worry about me” She tried to play it cool, but her breathing was a bit harder than usual while battling. Although she tried to reassure them both, Violet wanted to make sure they got their training’s worth. Gotta make that battle count. He rubbed on the accessory on his left wrist. “Alright, Solaris. Let’s close this match-up. Time to Burst!” He clicked on the oval apparatus and it clicked open, revealing a precious stone within it, producing light. That light curved and made its way toward Solaris, like it usually did. The energy would converge their hearts and minds into a single temporary body, allowing them to fight as one and show their full strength. But as the light got closer to her silver fur, Solaris shook herself off, making the light dissipate and scatter into the open air. “Huh?” Violet felt confused. That was certainly a first. “Solaris, are you okay? Did something happen?” “N-No, everything’s fine.” Her paws twitched around the soft ground in awkwardness. “C-Could we not burst today, perhaps? I’m… not feeling it.” A tad confused, Violet turned off the stone in his wrist. “Okay… Well, if you’re not feeling it, that’s not a problem, I guess.” He mused a bit further, and an idea crossed his mind. “Aha! You’re thinking ahead of me, aren’t you? Alright! Solaris, it’s time to mega-evolve then!” He reached out to the pin in his overshirt, touching the keystone, and yet another similar-colored light made its way to Solaris. And once more, she shook it off and made it dissipate. “Maybe not Mega-Evolution, either? Is that okay?” All the while, Theresia was observing from the other side. “Chireon?” She asked, coming closer to her partner in battle. Violet seemed to share in that worry, making a gesture with his hands to call off the battle. After a simple nod from the Chivalreon, he sprinted towards his partner and kneeled before her. “Are you feeling okay, Sol?” “Y-Yeah… I’m just not in the mood to try and transform and stuff, alright?” She looked away from him, hiding her face from his sight. “Alright.” He patted her head caringly and looked up at his friend. “Sorry, Theresia. I think we should stop for today.” The metal-type Eeveelution nodded as a knight would, showing a brief show of respect with her paw against her armor while looking dutifully at her trainer. The trainer pulled out his Heavy Ball to call back Theresia, leaving Violet to look over Solaris. He spent the rest of the day looking after her, seeing if she was sick or something of the sort. But besides avoiding his gaze, she seemed as normal as ever. The next day they found a passing trainer to spar with. Violet attempted Burst and Mega-Evolution once more, and once again Solaris refused to go into either mode. This kept going for a full week. In every battle, the silver-furred Eevee would refuse to go into their signature power moves. This greatly worried Violet. The next day, both Violet and Solaris made their way back to their hometown in the Torai region. He knew that if anyone could tell what was wrong with Solaris, it would be his childhood friend, Coco. “Say aaaaaaaah.” Coco instructed the small Eevee. Solaris complied, opening her mouth and allowing the Pokémon Professor (in training) to check inside of her mouth. “Thanks for seeing us on such short notice, Coco. I know that you’ve been busy with your Professor studies and everything.” Violet thanked from a nearby chair, watching his friend examine his long-life partner from nearby. “No worries, Violet.” Coco answered while shifting around her splattered lab coat and examining Solaris’ left ear. “You know I always have time for you both.” She smiled towards the Eevee in front of her, and Solaris smiled back, rubbing her head against Coco’s hand. “How has your traveling been? After so much you two went through, I imagined you’d take some time to relax and settle down for a bit.” “Something we should consider, huh?” Violet rubbed the back of his head. “Yeah… I do see your point, but Solaris and I still want to keep growing stronger.” Coco ruffled Solaris’ back, feeling its texture carefully. “But still, you’ve both been journeying for so long. I know I might be at fault for making you journey for a stone for… what, 2 months?” “3 months.” Violet corrected. “3 months. And that I might have nudged you into this path, but it’s important to take breaks. I wouldn’t wanna see either of you getting hurt just because you were too excited to get better.” Coco moved to her tail, examining its fluff and the length.” The trainer didn’t have a proper answer to it. “I’ll… We’ll think about it, okay?” “Yeah, we will. Sorry if we’re worrying you, Coco.” Solaris says. “She’s saying we’re sorry if we’re worrying you.” Violet translated. “Pffff. You don’t have to apologize. You two are some of my greatest friends.” She stepped back a bit. “As long as you keep popping by and showing your pretty faces healthy and happy, there’s no more I could ask for.” She smiled softly at them both. Such a declaration of friendship and care made both the trainer and Eevee feel all warm and fuzzy inside. “Alright, one last place to check…” Coco softly grabbed Solaris’ tail and raised it, exposing her rump to the two humans. Violet and Solaris went silent as the Eevee’s private parts were displayed in all glory to the professor and her trainer. Violet avoided his gaze. “Ummm… I guess it’s part of the diagnosis, but is there any real reason to check there?” “Well, normally it’s important to examine it for safety reasons, but I had a hunch this time…” The professor brought her hand towards the engorged spade, which immediately made Solaris yeep in surprise. Although for Violet, that yeep came out more like a moan than anything else. Which made it click inside his head. “Wait… You’re saying…” “Mhmmm…” Coco let go of the Eevee’s genitals and tail. “Solaris is in heat.” She stated clearly, heading towards the nearby sink to watch her hands. The response made the trainer and Pokémon blush. “H-Heat, huh? I guess I didn’t count this possibility. That would explain why she seemed so shy and hesitant all the time.” Solaris didn’t respond, feeling her cheeks getting redder by the second. “Well, that isn’t that big of a problem. If she can find a partner to satisfy her, Solaris should be back to her prime in no time.” The professor-in-training answered. “Do you have anyone in your team that she could pair with? Preferably someone she has a good affinity with?” “Hmmmm…” Violet closed his eyes to ponder the possibilities. “I got a few males that could help out with it. What do you say, Solaris? Is there anyone in mind you got to… mate with?” A simple enough question, but one that seemed to upset Solaris. “No… Not really. I… would rather not answer that.” “Hmmm? Why not?” Violet asked, surprised that she would decline something that should be quite natural to Pokémon, in theory. “Can we leave it at that? It’s… stupid and I’d rather not talk about it.” She avoided her gaze, clearly getting more hesitant and embarrassed by the situation. “Hey, Sol. No need to get flustered.” The human kneeled so he would be at eye-level with the Eevee on top of the table. “You know you can confide in me for anything. There isn’t a single thing you could say that would be too awkward for me?” “Oh, I don’t know about that…” Solaris looked down, her paws grasping at the metal table in nervousness. “Please… If there’s any way to help you, I’ll do it. We promised to always be there for each other, haven’t we?” Violet brought his hand to pat Solaris’ head, feeling her soft silver fur against his bare hands. Solaris’ eyes seemed to contemplate the possibility, and after moments of internal struggle, she answered. “O-Okay… But before I tell you, promise me you won’t get mad.” “I promise.” Violet answered without hesitation. “Huff…” The Eevee sighed. “There’s one male I have considered for this. The only one that I could truly entrust both my body and heart to…” “Then you can tell me. I’m sure if we talk to him, he’ll accept. You’re the most wonderful Eevee I’ve ever known.” Violet reassured her with caring pets. “That’s the thing… I’m…” The next words seemed to struggle to even escape her mouth, but she found just enough courage to speak them. “I’m talking to him right now!” She said out loud. The next couple of moments were of Violet silently processing what she just said. Talking to him? As in she’s already had talks with that Pokémon? No, he would have known by now. So that could only mean… Violet’s face subtly blushed as his eyes widened in surprise. He staggers back to his feet in shock. “W-What?” “What did she answer?” Coco asked, intrigued by his expressions just now. “U-Umm… S-She mentioned it’s someone we’ve met a while back, and… that we should look for him. R-Right, Solaris?” Violet lied while asking Solaris to play along. She didn’t nod, just looking to her side a bit dejected. But it was good enough for Violet. “S-So, yeah! I think we should go and look for him right now! The sooner we find him the sooner she’ll be back to top speed.” Hastily, the trainer put his Eevee on top of his shoulder and grabbed his bag. “We gotta go now. Thanks Coco! I’ll bring you a present next time!” “W-Wait!” Coco screamed to her friends as they left the building, running towards the wild outskirts of town. “What was that about…?” ____________________ Night had fallen, and the forest’s early quiet was quickly subdued by the calm sounds of Kricketot and Kricketune singing the night away, bringing the scenery a sense of serenity that only a few people got to experience. In the spur of the moment, Violet had decided there was the best possible place for them to sleep the night away. Ever since they had set off on their journey, for as much fun and breath-taking as their journey had been so far, there was this comforting feeling of coming back home. The human gets to think of this, among many other things swirling inside his head, as he prepares his bedroll for sleep. And while he did so, Solaris looked at him without uttering a word. Her face was slightly flushed from her confession back at Coco’s place, but above all, she didn’t know what to say. She had just said to her best friend that she wanted to mate with him. Yeah, no big deal. Completely normal. Or somehow she convinced herself of that before blurting out her wants on him. And so, alongside the cheery tune from the cricket pokémon permeating the camp, awkwardness also made the atmosphere way denser than either would have wanted. “Violet, I-” Solaris was about to speak, but the trainer raised his hand instead. “Hey, it’s okay, Sol. I imagine you were under a lot of pressure back at the lab.” He kneeled, clasping his lighter towards the isolated dry wood and quickly setting it ablaze, giving them enough light and warmth for the night. “You don’t have to worry. We can find someone that you’ll be interested in. There’s lots of Pokémon out there, one of them should catch your attention.” Solaris looked a tad surprised at his response, with her face shrinking in an awkward stare of frustration. “I meant what I said, okay?” Violet’s grasp on the lighter tightened. “Hey, it’s okay. I won’t judge you for-” “VIOLET, PLEASE!” A slight scream let her mouth, anger clear in her words, as well as a touch of anguish. “Please! I don’t wanna be with other Pokémon, okay? I don’t care about others…” The Eevee’s face tightened in some apprehension. The trainer didn’t respond, looking at her with some doubt in his face as he stored his lighter. “Look, Violet, I-. I know we’ve been companions for years now, and this might be weird because this isn’t something most humans, or pokémon, will even consider, but- But I’ve had a crush on you. For a long time now…” She looks down, seemingly ashamed of herself. Violet took a deep breath at her words. His gaze was completely locked with the flames. “I know…” Her face lit up. “Wh- You knew?!?!” “Well, sort of. This might be your first heat, but… I’ve caught you staring at me sometimes.” “Well, there’s nothing wrong with an Eevee looking up at her partner, is there?” “No, but when you’re staring at me just after I finished taking a hot spring bath, and your eyes are locked on my dick, it’s a bit hard not to consider the possibilities.” He chuckled to himself. Meanwhile, Solaris was in shock. Her cheeks were flushed from mouth to ear, and her eyes widened with possible remembrances. “I-I had to check you were fine, right? A big sis takes care of her little brother!” “Yeah, but a big sis wouldn’t choke on her food when I took off my shirt and you got a good glimpse at my chest, would she?” He answered back, smiling at the embarrassed Eevee. She was blushing the most she ever had in her life, and yet she felt confused. “Then, why didn’t you ever say anything? You could have shut me down before.” “Maybe, but…” Violet sighed. “I… didn’t wanna do it. Maybe because I thought I was just imagining things, but also because…” His words caught on his throat, and his face felt warm. Solaris noticed and a tinge of hope filled her heart. “B-Because of what?” “...Because, as weird as it might sound, I wouldn’t be so opposed to the idea…” Violet’s eyes finally met Solaris’. She sprang up and dashed to his side in a flash. “R-Really?! W-Wow, I…” She felt so embarrassed at his words. “So you mean you don’t mind it? That, that you reciprocate!?” Her shiny fur ruffled against his clothes as she leaned her arms against his chest. “Hey, Solaris. Look at me.” He leaned his head down to look into her. “You know we’ve been through thick and thin for the longest time. We’ve had each other’s backs for years, and I’ve come to respect you more and more as time went on. I’ve come to depend on you. To expect to see your face first thing in the morning. To see how pretty you grew up to be alongside me. I…” He was patting her head, enjoying how soft she felt. “I just didn’t wanna say anything. Yeah, most people would not approve of it, that doesn’t help, but the fear of me possibly hurting you and losing our friendship… That made me too scared to even ask about it. I’m sorry I was so spineless.” “Don’t apologize!” Solaris climbed further, using her paws to stand on his crossed legs as she got closer to his face. “I should have told you earlier as well. I was just as scared as you. And… That’s okay. You’ve been the difference in my life, Violet. We’ve been through so much danger and so much wonder. I would have given up against our battles if I hadn’t you by my side. Violet, you’re the most precious person to me in the whole world. My biggest friend. And… the one I love the most.” Hearing such a speech made Violet feel a bit emotional, and the flirt of a tear swelled in his eyes. He leaned his forehead against hers and whispered. “Well, the feeling is mutual. Solaris, I can’t imagine a world without you by my side… and a world with you as my partner would be the greatest dream come true.” Warmth filled both of their hearts, and under the night sky, only the stars were witness to their exchange of love, a small but passionate kiss shared between Human and Eevee, a vow of friendship, love, and companionship. In the multitude of ways that those words could be interpreted. They stayed there for what seemed like an eternity, sharing soft caresses and a never-ending kiss. It almost seemed like a fairy tale, with the prince and princess declaring their feelings for one another at the end of the book. But this was real. And both had never felt happier. Violet broke the kiss, letting a small string of saliva connect the two newfound lovers. They breathed heavily and euphorically at that exchange. Solaris hugged Violet’s chest, snuggling against him. “I love you…” She whispered. “Love you too.” He smiled and answered sincerely. They stayed there, enjoying the moment before something hit Violet. Nothing physical, but a very strong smell, coming directly from Solaris. He didn’t need much guesswork to realize. “Is the heat that strong?” He asked, rubbing the back of her head carefully. “Mhmm…” She answered while still resting against him. “Do you want me to help with it?” “Please… You’re the only one that can help me…” Violet nodded, and gently picked up the Eevee in his arms, slowly bringing her down to the laid bedroll, leaving her with her back against the ground and her front fully exposed to him. It was then that the trainer got a good view from her canine spade, dripping with desire and need. But her scent. Gosh, her scent was almost enough to make Violet go mad. And yet he held onto his clarity. With that being Solaris’ first time, he needed to be as tender as possible with her. “Alright, can you spread a bit for me?” The human asked while taking off his shirt, revealing his tone chest with some apparent scars throughout his skink. The sight almost made the Eevee drool, but she composed herself enough to comply. “Okay…” She slowly let her legs apart further, giving her trainer ample access to her lower area. “Okay, thank you.” Violet leaned his arms against the ground and lowered his head until his face was just a mere breath away from his partner’s most sacred area. The scent was even stronger up close but also made his dedication to her even stronger. “Are you ready?” Solaris meekly nodded, looking towards his leaning figure with bated breath. “Mmmmmmmmmm!” The Eevee held a moan as she felt a warm tongue touch her outer lips. That sensation was so powerful she almost came then and there. “Oops, was that too much?” Violet asked plainly. “N-No! Not at all! Please… That felt really good…” Her ears folded backward as she spread herself further for her silly human. Violet just smiled and dove back in, letting his lips meet her soaked spade, tasting her essence and sucking eagerly against it. “Yes…” Solaris relaxed against his grip, letting her body melt into that sensation, while softly moaning and panting with each suck of his. Her essence felt so tasty. The duo had traveled to many different places throughout their journey, and yet this taste was easily the most savory he had ever proved before. He kept on sucking her pussy, adding some irregular licks to the mix, making the Eevee shiver every time. Her insides would clench against Violet’s tongue each time he probed further, getting a delightful grip whenever he entered, alongside an adorable yip from his partner. He couldn’t help but giggle amidst fellatio over that sight. Hungry for more, he kept on at it. Solaris' voice was being held due to her desire, not wanting to moan out loud during her first time. And yet, that proved fruitless with how well her new mate was hitting her buttons. Every so often his tongue would hit against her clit, making a wave of delight spike through her entire body. She would spasm and gasp, her face flushed, completely lost in delight. It felt good. So good. Amazing. She could feel her want burning. Her need for Violet’s attention seeped into her core. She felt warmer by the minute. She could feel it. She was getting close to- She snapped her eyes open. “W-Wait, Violet! S-Stop!” She asked rushingly. The human’s eyes opened, and he brought himself back from her cookie. “S-Sorry, did I do something wrong?” “No! Nothing at all. In fact, you were amazing.” She looked to the side, blushing. “Too amazing…” It took a second, but Violet realized what she meant. “Oh! Okay, I didn’t realize you were that close.” “Yeah… hahaha…” Solaris laughed a tad embarrassed. “I… never expected for it to feel this good…” She smiled at him. Violet felt his heart warming from that compliment. Although it wasn’t only his heart that was feeling like that. “So…” “Yes.” She turned until she was lying sideways, spreading one of her legs up so he could get a full view of her entrance once more. “I don’t wanna end it with just your mouth. I want to feel you inside of me.” She smiled softly, fully exposing every inch of her body to her lover. And Violet, as nervous as he was, couldn’t help himself from feeling the way he was. She was just so adorable. So pretty. So freaking lovely. The feeling of love was still something a bit foreign to him, but he knew what he was feeling. And the way his pants tightened around his nethers certainly didn’t hide how he felt. Violet’s hands reached down. “Okay, ummmm… I guess we’re doing this.” He said with a completely flustered face, all the while working his zipper down. Solaris watched him eagerly through every act. From his zipper, a clear tent showed in his underwear. His pants dropped to the floor soon after, putting his grip on his undies instead. He looked embarrassed towards his partner, a tad nervous. Noticing it, she smiled softly at him. That was all the reassurance he needed. The last barrier fell through his legs, and the Eevee finally got the view she yearned for. Violet’s cock throbbed in anticipation, with some pre leaking from his tip at the sight of her. Solaris’ spade twitched and dripped in the same desire. “You’re… quite bigger up close.” She blushed at her own words. “Thanks…” Violet smiled, feeling some relief at her words. He lowered himself until he was on all fours on the ground, slowly making his way towards the spreading Eevee. The human was quite bigger than the Eevee. Even on the ground, he could feel the difference in their sizes. Especially when he sat right by Solaris’ end, his cock looming right above her spade. “...You’re so beautiful, Sol.” He spilled those words as if he was in a trance while looking at her. Solaris felt all fuzzy inside from the comment. “And you’re the most handsome dork of them all, Violet.” She giggled. “C’mon. I know you want it as much as I do.” She said it while shaking her lower end, taunting her trainer with her waiting cunt. Violet swallowed his nervousness. “Alright.” He grabbed a hold of his penis and slowly guided it towards her entrance. He let his head rest comfortably against her warm lips, and he couldn’t help but shudder at the alien but wonderful sensation. “Are you ready?” Solaris took a deep breath and nodded. The human nodded back and slowly pushed his hips against her. With a swift but slightly painful push, he was in. The tip of his cock pushed through her canine folds and invaded her most precious region. Violet used all his willpower to keep his position above her and not fall over. “Aaaaaaaah…” But he couldn’t keep out the moan from escaping. “Aaaaaaah!” On the other hand, Solaris was way less focused on keeping herself silent and more so on how amazing Violet felt inside of her. He had pushed only the tip, yet her heat made her see stars with its presence. It throbbed and pulsed around her tight channels, pushing against her flesh and making her feel a tingly sensation her paws never allowed before. “Did it hurt?” Violet asked, concerned. Solaris tried to muster a grin. “O-Of course not! You might be big, but I know how careful and caring you are, dummy.” She closed her eyes as she felt a particularly pleasurable throb. “Okay, then I’ll push in deeper.” With a nod from the Eevee, the trainer pushed more of himself into his partner. The deeper he went, the more of her warmth spread through him. It felt so weird. Almost like it was a primal feeling. Although one he was enjoying a lot. And most of all, one that he seemed to be sharing with Solaris. He pushed until he felt his cock be completely inside of her. For such a small Pokémon, her body could handle a much bigger specimen than her. One of the Eevee’s paws reached Solaris' hand. She gripped it tightly as she felt him fill her to the brim. She was just as surprised as him to see her body being able to take it all. She could feel a small bump on top of her stomach, in the shape of his cock. It didn’t hurt at all, but it certainly helped get Solaris even more heated up. “V-Violet… Please, I need you. I…” She whined, her need burning up deep within her gut. “Okay, Sol.” He reached down with his head and planted a tender kiss on her lips. “I’ll start moving.” Solaris nodded, and she felt him slowly leaving her body emptier, before slowly filling it up again. Their tempo was slow but excruciatingly blissful. She could feel every inch of his length pressing against all of her. She could feel every tremble, every throb, every tiny pre-spurt deep within her. But above all, she could feel his heartbeat through it. It was beating so fast, just like her. She could almost believe they were beating in sync. Violet was going as carefully as he could to not hurt her, even though he had the feeling she wouldn’t be so easily hurt. Still, he cared for her way too much to risk anything. At least for their first time. …For their first time? That single line of thought made Violet realize he didn’t want this to be the only time they did it. That spurred him to try and focus on how much pleasure he could give her. The slow pushes and pulls ceased when he gave a particularly quick thrust within her, making Solaris gasp in delight. “Did it feel good?” He asked. Solaris was gasping for air, but from her flustered face and weak nodding, he got the message. Right away, he began to dutifully pull in and out of her, making sure to hit those same spots to bring as much pleasure to her as he could. And it was working. With each thrust, she could feel herself getting closer and closer to Nirvana. Her mind was a mess of delirium and delight, clinging to his body as hard as he could. And the pleasure wasn’t one-sided. For as much as she seemed to be enjoying it, Violet felt every bit as good as she did. The way she clung to him. Her warmth. Her love. Her eyes. Gosh, her eyes were more beautiful than any pair of jewels in the world. He was losing focus. And he was feeling something build within him. “S-Sol… I don’t think I can hold out much longer…” He said amidst pleasured grunts. The Eevee was moaning and clinging as tightly as he could onto his hand and cock. “S-Same here…” She panted in need. “Please, don’t pull out… I wanna… feel all of it. Please.” She begged. And Violet could never deny her anything. His tempo was erratic but strong. Every push hit her right spots, and every shove spurted more and more pre onto her. It kept building up and up. So close. He brought his whole body down and reached his arms beneath Solaris to hug her, while still shoving within her as well as he could. Before the Eevee could understand what was happening, her lips were taken by his, with their tongues interlacing in a clear exchange of feelings. And so, they couldn’t hold any longer. Just as their hearts seemed to beat in unison, so did their climaxes. A jet of thick fluids spurted out and completely took over Solaris’ womb in a matter of seconds. They both cried out in ecstasy as their fluids mingled with one another. Violet slumped atop Solaris as they gasped and panted for breath. They wanted to say so much to one another. But that would have to wait for a brief nap. Their breathing steadied, and so did their eyes close, still locked within one another. ____________________ Both had woken up deeper into the night. Solaris was too exhausted to walk, so Violet carried her to his bedroll. He tucked them both in, letting their combined warmth spread under the sheets. “...Thanks, Violet.” She snuggled against him. “That was… simply wonderful.” Violet answered her affection in kind. “I should be the one thanking you. I think this is up there for the best day of my life.” “Why? Because you just got laid with a beautiful girl~?” Solaris saw an opportunity to tease him. She just had to take it. “That too.” He looked into Solaris’ eyes. “But because I got to share my feelings with you.” The Eevee immediately went quiet at his words. A newfound fluster covered her cheeks, but she couldn’t look away from his eyes. “Well, I feel the same, dummy.” She shifted her head closer to his chest. Violet smiled, and rested his hand on top of her, caressing her fur tenderly. “...I hope you don’t mind, but I’d rather if you didn’t use me in battles for the next while. Neither should we use our Burst. I… would like to hold out on that. If that’s okay with you?” The human giggled. “Don’t worry. Your teammates can pick up the pace while you’re recovering. Just focus on resting and feeling better, okay?” He said that before planting a kiss on her forehead. A few more moments lingered before he mustered the courage to ask the question. “So… Does that make us…” “...Mates?” Violet nodded to her words. “...I’d like that. I never considered anyone else to be a more fitting mate than you. This has been my desire for so long now.” Solaris' answer was a bit shy. But Violet sighed in relief. “Then we’re mates. I swear to give my all to you, Sol.” He made sure to give a full-teeth smile to her. That warmed her heart. “And I’ll give my all to you.” A shrew expression formed on her face. “Besides, you being my mate means I can always keep my eyes on you. Make sure you don’t do anything reckless without me.” “Hahaha. Then I’ll keep you close, forever.” He hugged her more tightly. “You’re such a dummy. You know very well that we can’t get far because of our intermingled souls.” She pressed her paw against his forehead. “You’re lucky I’m your mate now, cuz now you don’t have an excuse to be too far from me~.” Both laughed and exchanged pleasant banter. They chatted and teased, but from all that had happened that day, their bodies were starting to shut down. Solaris was the first to shut down, snoozing softly into this chest beneath the bedroll. The sight comforted Violet, allowing him a peaceful sleep as well. He might now know what would happen the following day, but having Solaris by his side, he knew it would be yet another amazing day.
