Shining Moon Written by me Co written and edited by SickDude Chapter one: stars above -Darkness… I feel cold. Looking around I found myself inside a dark hallway. It looks like it goes down for miles and miles forward and behind me. But this is only just a dream. This stupid dream I have almost everyday. I don't know what it means exactly? It looks like a lab but very dark from most of the lights being off. Only a few in the hallway shine, but most of them are… Faded. With each passing door locked... I don’t know what it means! It feels so lonely, so empty... I hate this dream but it happens over and over again. I must push forward tho.. Each slow, and passing step. It felt that I was moving nowhere, with no way of knowing if I actually made any progress. Stop it! Then, I hear this familiar, feminine voice. “Shuto.” Stop it! Leave me alone! “Shuto '' My steps feel heavy the further down I go. It's not from my uhhh chubbiness, just something about this place feels heavy weight down my shoulders... I can’t take this anymore! “Shuto! Wake up hunny!” My eyes slowly open. The first thing I see is a blurry yellow body. I rub my eyes, and try to speak. “Huh? Ughh.. My head.. How long have I been asleep?” My vision gets clearer. That yellow body I saw was a pikachu… My mother. She rubs her paw on my head. “For quite a while, haha. Now, since you're up. Come on down, and get breakfast before it gets cold. I made your favorite! Scrambled eggs!” I roll my eyes. “Mum! Don’t say it like that! I’m 23. I'm not a child no more.” “You’ll always be my child in my book, sweetie. Go eat up now.” As she gives me a kiss, I head downstairs to eat. My name's Shuto H. Jolly. Don’t ask what my middle name is. I will ignore it if you ask. I’m not really smart nor very good with words, and can sometimes get myself in trouble from fights. I do my best to avoid them. I hardly ever smile, unless I’m around my mother. She's the only comfort I have. Even then, I try not to smile. I must act to show no weakness or vulnerability. Even still it’s only an act. I'm very sweet once you get to know me. I’m a bulbasaur that somehow is able to walk on twos. I wanted so badly to think that I was naturally born this way. However, I constantly have dreams where I'm in a lab. It’s really annoying, and definitely not normal. I’m a bit chubby even if I hate to admit it. But, I’m also not really fast. I am quite the tank, though. I take hits, with a high tolerance. My scales are completely white with a bit of pink forming around my claws the older I get. My eyes are light gray. But, most of the time my eyelids are half closed, making me look mostly tired. I don’t overwork myself to the point I feel tired or anything. I seriously just look this way. The blossom pod on my back is blue while the tip of the pod is fading hot pink. Speaking of hot pink. I have pink star birthmarks around my pod, and on my neck with a big star on my right eye. Our house is quite small. It’s just big enough for my mother and me. My mother is a pikachu that goes by the name Ashley. She took me in after my actual parents left me behind. I don’t know anything about them or even their names. All I do know is that the stars around my body were from them. It must be a bloodline thing. It might also be the reason why I don’t look like a typical bulbasaur. Ashley works so hard just to make sure that I have a roof over my head. I feel awful like a sitting psyduck. I want to do so much more than sit around and do nothing. After I’m finished eating I plan to use this day looking for a job. One that can do more than just scraping the surface. Something that can really let my mother be able to relax for once. After eating and finishing up dishes I head out to look for a place to find a job. In town of the next to the main hall to the left there's a list you can find pokejob listings available. I could just use my phone but I never been crazy good with that stuff nor english. My original language was Japanese, while I learned British from Mum. She’s honestly the best. But even still I might struggle on some english words here and there. The town isn’t crazy big, mostly houses with a few markets. Our house is at the top of a hill with two slopes. You have to use the slopes just to get to town. However, if you head right there's a waterfall. I sometimes like to go there as a hide away place. Just a way to get away from reality for a bit, it's beyond peaceful. Unlike my neighbor he’s a butterfree named Jeffrey who loves to play loud rock music and let everyone know about his existence. But he’s on the mid part of the hill. Meaning, he only has to go down one slope to town. Down forward, next to the slope on the left, is a store run by twins Minus and Plus. Though many question if they are brothers or two gay lovers. Anyway, it’s where you may sell or buy goods. Sometimes you can buy food specials here and there. But, it’s mostly just for supplies. A few houses live next to it. If you keep going left. You'll find a homemade bridge made of wood that allows you to cross the river section of very fresh water. There are some fish in the ponds as well. Once after crossing the bridge, go straight down left and you'll find the main hall. That’s where I’m headed. Heading inside the main entrance giving a look at the lists displayed. “Ah job listings. Fast food.. No. fishing? Please.. I need something really good like something that pays very well” I was so deep in thought I didn’t realize I was saying my thoughts out loud with one of the workers who was a slowpoke named Terry overheard me “Y’know kid something simple can always work out just fine jussssst take it slow man.” gaining back my senses my eyes draw near the voice I heard from behind seeing the slowpoke. “I can’t. I feel the longer I wait the worse things may be.” Terry scans around me giving a good look at me “AYE! I recognize you you’re Ashley’s kid right uhhhh whats his name again…?” As I watch the gears turn in his mind, trying to figure out my name. It felt weird to sit and let him struggle. “uh I’m right here, you can always just as-” “ahhhh! Now I remember! Isn’t It wash?” Before I could even finish Terry just blurts out whatever was on his mind. “no? How was that even your first guess?” Terry turns away with his hands on his chin as now its just the guessing game with him. “uhhhhhh Rain?” Feeling that this was dragging on a bit “it’s ok to say you don-” “buttercup?” Interrupted again what is this guys deal “no no it’s shut-” Terry acts as if he had an aha moment. As he actually goes by the few words he heard from me. “Ahhhhh now I remember what you were going to say. It was snowy!” sigh “close enough I guess” I move over to him, just to see what he wanted “Haha I knew it! First try.. What was I talking about again?” Giving a shrug. “How should I know?” Terry clearly wasn’t listening and in his own space. “Thank you so much, kind sir, for your help!” shrugging a bit “Please, don’t call me sir. It makes me feel.. Old. Plus, I didn’t really do anything?” Terry pats my back “Now I remember! Your mother used to be a wrestler!” “Are we thinking of the same person?” “Ashley Jolly world champ undefeated champion!'' The slowpoke slowly walks over to his desk. As I follow from behind, he pulls out some records. “Look through yourself kid” He hands me over a bunch of papers, all about pikachu libre. With closer inspection, it's obvious those were my mothers eyes under that wrestler mask. “I.. don’t believe it.” “Yeeeeeeep! That’s her! Hot is’nt she?” “1 girl two that’s literally my mother.” “Ohhh right I forgot” If a memory spell exists he could really use one. “Yep for a good while she became one the very few women to fight, and man was she good! But all of a sudden she stopped, and blended in with society. Gone without a trace... But I recognize faces, haha! I know damn well that’s your mother! Even though she never told me, or revealed what she looked like under the mask” The only reason why I knew was because I was around Ash most of my life. She raised me. But, now. Really thinking about it... What if she did wrestling just to provide for me? Like that extra insurance? Maybe she faded away because fighting wasn’t her thing? Though she was an undefeated champ. I highly doubt that. Or felt she didn’t need to keep fighting? Maybe she wanted to settle down, and just focus on m- “Hello? Shuto? Do you usually just stare off into the distance like that?” Ugh… Breaking my sense of thought. “No, maybe uh I mean what’s it to ya?” Terry chuckles as he goes back to speaking. “Well you could do wrestling like your mother did.” Blushing a bit, but growing stern “You kidding? If she finds out she’ll kill me, then revive me, then kill me again!” Terry looked pretty confused. “That's harsh. Why would she kill the second time?” “yare yare daze. Not actually kill. It's like an expression. Pretty much big trouble.” “I’m just leaving a suggestion. If you have a better idea, feel free to browse and see if it’s there. However, take this unnnnnnnnnder consideration. It might help you, and or your parents.” Sitting there lingering on the thought. I’m not really good with choices. But, I do think this could help. I just need to get enough money as quickly as possible. I don’t even have to win, I just have to impress the audience enough that they want more of me. “Ugh I know I’m going to regret this. Where do I sign?” The slowpoke smiles as he looks at me “Haha! I knew you’d do it. Take this package, and at night go to the museum. Then ask the staff at the front desk the secret code -alpha- And then he’ll lead you down the secret chamber.” “Secret chamber?” “Most don’t know about it. However, the ones that do just so happen to be worldwide. you'll see poke folks from all over the regions.” “And this is secret apparently?” “Well, ya. The only people that know about it are pokemon that love the sport. If you didn’t you’d never have known about it. Like you’re just knowing about this now, ye? So it has to be doing something right.” “You’re not wrong.” “Ohhhh one last thing! Be sure to be in costume when you go to the museum at night. You technically don’t have to. but you don’t want to give away your identity ya?” “ I don’t have one.” “That’s what the package is for, kid. You get to make yourself one!” “I have to full craft a suit before the end of today? Got it.” “Wow you think on your feet fast.” “Eh it’s hard to keep up with things most of the time I just go with the flow and hope it works I guess” “I’m starting to like you, kid. But, hurry! Times a wastin!” I try to hurry home with, uhh, maybe a few breaks here or there. But, ugh… Once reaching home full of sweat. I finally began to unpack the box, and start the process of crafting a suit. Hours passed, and all I created was just the mask??? Shut up I’m slow ok I'll use one of my shirts, and red panties. I cut the shirt to where it only covers my chest. I try to hide my mask inside my panties. I looked around to see if Mum was around. She was fast asleep on the couch, with the tv still on. I walked over giving her a kiss on the forehead, before leaving out the side door. I’m doing this for you mum. Once close to the museum I put on the mask in some bushes so that no one would see. Once done changing I head over inside, and whisper the code to one of the staff. “Haha! Aren't you a little too young to be fighting in the ring?” “I'm older than I look. Take me to the ring.” “Haha! a toughy rookie! You’re going to be put in your place very soon, heehe!” “Whatever, I’d like to see them try.” Once we reach the entrance our eyes are met with a grovyle with no leaves on his arms. He gave off the biggest smirk you've ever seen, with his eyes shining purple, and the inside of his maw being as dark blue as the deep surface of the ocean. From his chin down to his crouch was a purple tum scale with a green line through the tum. He wore a yellow, and purple mask with sleeveless shirt that went down to his stomach with him, wearing no trousers of any kind. Literally bottomless. Next to him was an incineroar, that easily towered over him. Not that it meant much with the grovyle. He was able to jump over the incineroar’s head and easily dodge around by going under between the incineroar’s legs, intentionally letting the top of his head hit the bulge balls in the process. That probably doesn’t feel good. As the battle goes on. I hear what I can assume being the announcer in the speakers, that’s all around the arena. “This might be a close fight! But, Green Bean is closing in swiftly dodging the attack from Red Tornado! Green Bean’s crawling up to the top of him putting him in a choke hold by his legs!” Green Bean smirks, as he tightens his grip. “it’s a shame you're about to You’re succcch a cutie! Hmm tell you what I’ll spare you by having something more quick take you out! Scream for me in the process ok?” I can tell the incineroar was trying his best to break the grip. But it was all in vain. Then I hear the announcer speak, loud and clear. “Green bean jumps down landing by his hand claws. But, instead of letting his feet touch the ground. He uses the weight of the fall to spring himself forward, letting his feet deliver the almighty nutshot!” “nutshot!” “nutshot!!” The crowd goes wild as they throw credits to Green Bean inside the ring. He takes a bow, with a rose that’s somehow in his maw. The announcer looks down at Grovyle, then over to the buff kat. “Red Tornado is out for the count folks! Take a close look folks! We got cum through clothing! And we are talking messy!” The buff kat made quite a scream as his bulge was hit hard. It caused him to leak cum, and blood. He went limp on the floor, giving soft twitches. He even urinated on himself. I let myself get closer to the ring, staring at the de- I mean kat, watching the corpse make a mess. “Why is he doing that? Was that all from just getting hit in the balls? Disgusting. What a joke.” Green Bean, out of nowhere, puts his arms around me. “Haha! Don’t underestimate the nuts. It’s a lot more powerful than you think, Bulby. With it being made of veins and arteries. It’s quite lethal and super effective to every pokemon that has one. Plus no one goes for it, so they never see it coming! Rawr~” I crossed my arms, and scoffed.. “I’ll pass. That’s weird.” Green Bean chuckles, and gives a confident smirk. “Aw, haha! Don’t be a wuss!” Getting frustrated. “Wussy? I’m not a wuss! I’ll prove it I’ll only go for nutshots with my first opponent!” “Rawr, Rawr~ I like you, Bulby. I'm gonna nickname you Nutcracker then.” Not really interested. I shrugged off what he said. “I don’t care. So they call you Green Bean, or something? Not really that intimating.” Green Bean pauses as if he forgot. “Oh! Haha, nah. It’s actually Death Perception.” “Oh? What made you think of that?” “Welllllllllll” Green Bean lets the ropes around the ring rub against his back, lifting him off his feet. “One day, there was this drink that I had, that had the same name. So, I thought. Why the hell not. As for Green Bean. I told the announcer to call me that just because I think it’s cute.” I stared at him, expecting him to continue… “That’s it??” Green Bean smirking “Uh, ya. What were you hoping for my whole life story? lmao!” Did he just say lmao as in just the word itself?? “...” Green Bean breaks the silence. “Haha. You’re cute! can’t wait to see you fight! Stay true to your promise, yeah? Nutshots only!” “Cute? I literally didn't do anything. And out of all the things I get called. Cute isn’t one of them.” Green Bean laughs. “Good thing I’m not like the others, huh? Man.What a missed opportunity, to be with such a cute, hot, boy like you.” “Hot? Cute? You can’t use both in one sentence.” “Just did!” He sticks his tongue out, as he lets himself slide out of the ring. “If you survive, let's get something to eat, Nutcracker. It’ll be on me. We’ll call it a celebration!” “Swell. Look forward to it.” I won’t let you down, Mother. Green Bean adds on. “Hop in the ring! I’ll tell the announcer your code name.” Annoyed. But, more just going along with it. “Don’t give it something stupid, like Green Bean.” “Haha! Nutcracker is too good of a name to pass up! Remember the promis-” cutting him off then proceed to make my way over to the ring, shoving my way past the crowd. They thought extremely low of me. The crowd was clearly unimpressed. They made a ton of comments about me from behind. But I didn’t care. “I know I know.” Hopping into the ring. I sit there, crossing my arms, doing my best to look unamused. “Who the hell is this kid?” “Haha I bet he’ll be a punching bag because of how fat he is!” Despite the comments I was getting. The announcer speaks with excitement. “Well, well. What do we have here? An albino Bulbasaur! He goes by nutcracker!? Oh this could be very interesting! With his opponent! Ooooooodasher!” The crowd cheers while a Machop enters the ring. His bulge is quite big. You could tell if he took off his speedo, his cock would be as big as his chest… Don't ask why I know this just by looking at someone’s bulge. He wore a mask with the theme of red and black. With it really just covering his eyes, rather than any other part of his head. He wore nothing else except his speedo. He looked at me with such a low life intent. It was obvious I meant nothing to him. He wouldn’t be bothered by making me . He seems fast though. I’m going to take a gamble with this. I waited for the announcer to start the fight. “3… 2… 1… go! Ooooodasher’s taking the offense. He charges in first, striking a few punches into the Bulbasaur’s stomach. Then, landing a hit to the neck!” The crowd cheers as he beats down on me. But the announcer keeps going. “It’s not looking good for the rookie. He’s stumbling quite a bit. He hasn't even landed a single hit. This might be another easy win by the Ooooodasher!” Then the cheering of the crowd felt quieter. Everything felt darker. But I know it wasn’t the ring changing. It was… My mind? It gave me a similar feeling to that dream I had earlier. Then I heard a voice that I’ve never heard of before… But at the same time, feels familiar. -you seem to be struggling quite a bit.- -I’m sure you do, will you allow me to help you when you believe that time is right?- -This isn’t an I guess moment. These fights are to the death! You don’t want Ashley to find out not only were you wrestling but, also on your first fight.- “ow” -I’m the manifestation of you in spiritual form.- “Argh” -Do you believe in yourself that you can win and save your mother?- “Yes.” -Then it's time say my name!- “M-Minority.” The roar of the crowd comes back to its normal volume. I stare at the Machop, not really sure with what power I got. But somehow… I know this won’t be a problem. The announcer continues with his annoying commentary. “Nutcracker’s really taking quite the hit. But not once choosing to budge! Maybe he’s just so scared that he’s seconds away from pissing himself. It wouldn’t be too surprising for a newbie that’s… Huh what’s this!? He’s starting to glow! And is something coming out the back of his bud blossom? I don’t believe it! Something blue and hot pink is coming out his bud! It’s now forming around his hands!” Ignoring the way he’s saying it. It was weird feeling something come out my bud. I usually completely forget it’s even there. I look at my paws and question. “What’s this?” -use me like a yo-yo- I nod and look at the Machop with renewed confidence. Not like I ever lost it anyway. “Heh. You put up a little bit of a fight. However, like any creature, eventually they get worn out, and tired. Wouldn’t you say?'' The Machop doesn’t respond, only looking at me short of breath. “I may not be fast but I am a tank. One thing not to do is charge at someone, head first.” The announcer then takes over. “Nutcracker swings his arms with the glowing thing around his hand. Behaving sorta like a yoyo? He lands his first hit into oooooooodasher’s speedo. We are taking square in the middle, squishy bits!” I saw Green Bean smirk “Good boy, Nutcracker. I definitely would have done it far sooner. So I’ll give it a 7/10 thoughhh that was a really good land. And the Machop’s bulge looks soooooo gooood! I’ll raise it to 8. Be grateful I usually don't do that. lol.” I roll my eyes and continue the fight, with the announcer doing his dumb commentary. “Nutcracker forms a second yo-yo on his left arm, and uses it to continue his onslaught! Each strike happens, lightning quick! So fast, It looks invisible! The only thing I can see is each strike making Ooooooodasher’s speedo squish back. I bet those nuts are really bruised up now! Not to mention those cum marks in that speedo! It’s safe to say he won’t survive this.” -Shuto enough. He’s already dead.- “Then why is he still standing, and taking every hit I throw?” Green Bean stands right behind me hanging onto the ring, already putting everything together. “The nuts are a very sensitive spot. The best indication to know they are dead is when they are already cumming. What’s happening here is your stan is faster than the blink of an eye. I would need someone to actually figure out the measurements to your power, and I know just the place. But before that. Let’s enjoy seeing our boy fall, limp.” The Machop continues to leak cum as his maw widens from his body no longer able to support it. Slobber drains out from his maw, as his body slides over limp. His body twitching a bit as he begins to urinate. Green Bean sticks out his tongue. “Haha Isn’t it cute when they do that?” I look at Green Bean, with shock. “No. That’s disgusting. What happened exactly?” “Well, cutie boy. Even with all those strikes you’ve done. The first strike to his nuts already killed him. And due to the blood flow to his balls/peen, it causes him to seem like he’s turned on, y’know? And with that it causes exactly what’s need for unintentional arousal. With this arousal your body prepares it’s for the intent of letting out fluid. And with that area being hit hard enough, they cum through death. This only really happens when you aim there, though. You can technically have this happen by other ways of killing someone. But, they would need to be hard for it to work. With nutshots, though. You don’t even need to be tuned on to cum on death. It’s guaranteed to happen no matter what. As for urinating, that just naturally happens. When you are alive you can control everything in your bladder. But, when dead, anything that comes out the front or the back gets released. Not cum though since it requires you to be aroused for it to be formed. Regardless, it's a messy process.” “I did not need to know that. What I mean was why did he take a while to fall over?” “Well, nutcracker. As I said, earlier. With your speed being so fast, he didn’t even realize he was dead. His body couldn’t comprehend that much damage, so quickly. It puts you into this dead pokemon walkin- phase, until his body finally catches up. He can't really do, or say anything. Just brain dead for a few seconds. This isn’t something you see often. You’re honestly something else. I know someone who would be very interested in studying you.” A part of me didn’t want to believe it. All of that from just hitting the dick? Even though I’m standing right next to a Machop, who died just from strikes to his dick… But, what’s more important is learning more about… Whatever I’ve just done. “Is that so? Who exactly?” Green Bean opened his maw, as if he was about to say something. He then looks to his sides, noticing he’s still in the ring. He crouches to my height, and speaks in a hush tone. “Not here, let's use that opportunity on a date, ya?” “A date?? Wait, you mean right now!?” Starting to blush a million thoughts ran through my head. Do I smell nice? I never got to eat out before. Y'know Green Bean is actually kinda hot. Deep in my thoughts, he speaks again. “Haha only if you want to really it's your choice honestl-” “yes!” Green Bean looked a little taken back from my quick answer. He then goes back to his smug like expression “Haha! Quick on your feet I see. I bet they looks good. actually do you have pawpads?” “Wha?” “Nothing! Haha! uhhhh… Imma tell the announcer we’re leaving now.” Green Bean blushes, and heads off towards the announcer, who was in complete shock about what he just witnessed. However, the crowd changes their view on me and just cheers my name. Some are just confused about what happened. Green Bean motions to follow him. “Let’s go, nutcracker!” “What about my pay?” He holds up an envelope that’s somehow in his claws. First he can make roses appear, and now my pay? Anyway, Green Bean smirks. “I have it right here” He hands the envelope to me. We leave the underground tunnel. Soon, Green Bean held my hand as we reached outside. I never asked him to do that… but it did cause me to blush. I still tried my best to not show too much emotion. It was just hot outside so it looked like I was blushing. He takes us to a small room, where he proceeds to undress in front of me. As Green Bean was undressing, he started talking. “Y’know. Your stansona is really impressive!.Its weightless and silent and swings faster than the naked eye. Anyone in your range won’t even know what hit them! I bet Josh would have a hayday about you.” Blushing as I watch him get off his uniform. And, honestly, I Could have sworn I saw something poke out his slit. But, if that was the case, It must have been only for a second. He Nods at me to undress myself. I’m a bit hesitant, before quickly taking off my mask, and shirt. Did that small bit of hesitation show vulnerability? To get my mind off of that, I thought of a question. “Is Josh that one person you were talking about earlier?” “Ya. By the way, what's your name?” I crossed my arms, and raised my eyebrows as he asked that. That gave Green Bean a clue to speak first. “Oh c'mon don’t be like that. We’re together now. But, I’ll go first. I’m Hector Dante. Aka Death Perception, aka Green Bean, aka-” “I don’t care.” “W-well that’s not really a title now, is it? Or wait, you meant it in the other way, didn’t you?” I roll my eyes. I just didn’t want him to go on. But he did say his name… Might as well say mine. “Shuto Jolly.” “Shuto? That isn’t English, no? Hm japanese?” “Yes I am” “How cute! Anyway, c'mon! Let's begin our date! there's this really good restaurant you might like, Shuto.” Only nodding as I followed him out the door. We walked for a bit, while he just told me whatever's on his mind. Even though he never shuts up, a part of me was okay with it. I usually spend most of my time alone, with no one really to talk to. I could talk to my mother, but some of the things I have to say I don’t feel comfortable sharing. Or if I did she wouldn't understand it. But, Hector being very comfortable, not even showing any signs of fear, and close to my age. So, he's more up to date. Reaching the door entrance. Hector smiles and opens the door letting me enter. He follows from behind and holds my claw, again. We make our way up to the counter. Then Hector looks towards me. “Anything you want, Shuto?” “Fine with whatever.” “Alrighty!” He turns to the waiter, who’s a Lucario. “Aloha! Two of your finest miltank steaks, medium rare, with large steak fries as the side!” The Lucario nods with a smile. But I know he’s just acting kind due to it being his job… “Coming right up, find yourselves a seat.” Hector points at an open table. ”Right here, Shuto.” He plants his butt on one of the seats, and pats his claw on the seat across from the table. Walking over I sit down across from him, so that we were both facing each other. I got another good look at Hector. He was quite strange. Well, other than his loud personality. But I mean his colors were different from a normal Grovyle. I needed to find out more about this. “I don’t recall seeing you here before. Unless you really blend in the shadows?” “Heheh, nope I am from the Alola region. I only come to this town every so often, just for how peaceful it is, or for the wrestling fights. every region not only knows about them. But, also, come far and wide to see them in action. You're pretty lucky to live in such a place.” “I never really considered myself lucky.” “Maybe certain things you don't consider lucky or of the norm to you is something else to someone else. Hell, your ability is extremely unique!” “I guess. But earlier you called them stansonas ya? So you know about them or have one yourself right? And you have Josh do studies on them?” “Right once again! My stansona is Magic Dust. It uh… Throws sparkles. Nowhere near as cool as yours, haha… But that’s okay! There’s this academy that helps you reach your potential with your ability. I could show the ropes at the academy. But, like, fair warning, though. it's not from around here at all. Plus it’s kinda like a school. You’d be living with me in the dorms. But, instead of math or writing, and all that annoying stuff. It's actually a place for people born with such abilities like you and me, and they teach you to get better at using them. If we’re lucky they’ll put us in the same classes. But, if not, I can teach you in the dorms. But even then I’d still graduate before you, since you'd be a freshmen. But it’s going to be like an all new place entirely for you. And, you’ll be leaving a lot of things behind.” Argh don’t tell me that. That’s a lot to take in. But this begs the question. If there are other people born with stansonas like me. Maybe I could find answers about my past? I shouldn’t let such a thing pass up. But if I do that..Mum will be alone and will be out of my comfort zone. Argh.. Why can’t things just be simple? “I’ll do it. If there’s any lead to my past, this academy might help with that.” “Wait, are you really going to agree just like that? No second thoughts or anything?” Not saying anything I only stare at Hector. Staying firm on my answer. “Well something I learned early on about you is once your mind is set on something, there's nothing you can do to stop it. I want to do all that I can to help you find it. I have some missing pieces of my own that I haven’t found myself.” Just then. The Lucario waiter comes with our food. “Your food sir.” Hector’s expression brightens up at the sight of his plate. “Thanks! Shuto. Let us toast to a new beginning!” I shrug. “I guess. Before we go though. I need to talk to someone.” Hector was just about to take a big bite of his steak. I got to see his blue maw wide open, but I tried to not think much of it at that moment. He puts his steak down and looks more serious than usual. “I understand. Enjoy your moments here. We can go in a few days if yo-” “No. After I’m finished talking to them, we can go.” Hector looked a bit unsure what to say. But no matter what he said, I wouldn’t change my mind. It’s best this way… After we finish eating I head over to home with Hector mostly following from a distance. I think he wants me to enjoy my moments here. So taking a deep breath I do. Touching some of the leaves off the plants, rubbing the fruit that hangs off the trees, really taking it in… I reach the door to my house. Once I open it, I see my mother, pacing in place, with a phone to her ear. “Please pick up, Shuto. Please, plea-” She looks over to me and gasps. The phone drops to the ground as she rushes in to hug me. Tears ran down her eyes, filled with worry. “Where were you!? I've been calling you, and you haven’t picked up once?” Looking in her tearful eyes as I speak. “I’ve been job searching. However in the process of it. It requires me to leave this town.” She looks into my eyes, slightly baffled at what I said. “You are old enough to go out on your own. But, I want you to be safe more than anything…” “I understand. But, you’ve done so much for me all my life. And you made yourself extremely tired because of it. I cannot sit back, and watch anymore. I’m going to make money, and each time it’ll be sent back to you.” Handing over the envelope she takes it, but doesn't look inside. Her focus was going right back to hugging me, as she gazed at my determined eyes. “Once you make up your mind theres no stopping you. Please be calling me when you can.” “I understand” She gives me a kiss as I kiss her back, and hug tightly. I started packing up what I needed, before heading out the door. I saw Hector standing outside. “This is really how you want to leave, huh?” I nod to him. I could tell something was bothering him. Mostly because he wasn’t talking my ear off. Hector scratches the back of his neck. “Well, okay then. As long as you don’t regret it.” He turns around and clears his throat. “Alrighty! On our way to Red Circle Ravenwood Academy” “Ravenwood? Is that the town?” “Ha! As if. It’s a city next to the Galar capital. It's pretty big, and It’s a very big tourist town.” “oh boy..” Hector chuckles at my clear sign of excitement. “Fair warning, though. The uniforms at the school are… Uhh, unique to say the least. But, they are very comfy! You’re supposed to wear them in and outside of the school.” “That so? Then why aren't you wearing it right now?” “Admittedly I uh… forgot. But don’t worry. A guy I know has me covered, so it’s all good, lmao” “As long as they are comfy I guess.” Hector reaches out for my hand, blushing a bit. “uh the luggage i’m carrying I need both my claws.” “Do you want me to help carry it, hun?” “no.” Hector shrugs then shows me the way over to a bus station “It's a long way over. Get comfy…” “We’re taking a bus?” “Oh, heh. I can see how someone can find that stupid. But, trust me. The chairman for the school is extremely rich. This will be the most comfortable bus you’ve ever been on. Not to mention the school is very private. They’ll do a blood test on you when the bus comes. If you pass, they’ll let you be seated. You’ll pass for sure, because I witnessed your ability. There’s no mistaking it.” When the bus arrived, I saw that the driver was a Gengar with a blue hat. He had a permanent scowl on his face, not the most approachable. But what I found strange was his white diaper. There was a circle badge right around the mid top of the diaper, with a bunch of colors surrounding the middle. Am I really going to see everyone wearing stuff like that? The Gengar looks to me, unamused. “Alright kid. Let’s see if you got an ability.” I put my stuff down to the side and reached out my arm. He pulls out a small needle, and pokes it into my arm. As he took the blood sample, my star birthmarks glowed, making my stansona appear without my consent. The Gengar only looked slightly surprised. I suppose if it’s your job to see stuff like that, it wouldn’t bother you much. “You definitely passed, kid. Looking forward to seeing your face through the school year. Anyway, once we get to the academy, you're free to choose which dorm group facility you want to be in. You don’t have to do it right now, but give a look see. I’m sure you’ll find which one you like the most.” I didn’t need to look through any other choice. My mind was already made up. “I want the one Hector is in.” The conductor pauses, much more shocked by me immediately knowing where I wanted to go. “A-are you sure? There’s no freshman in that dorm. Not to mention it’s with uh…” He looks to Hector, who just smiles and waves back. Then he looks back at me. “Troublesome company.” My answer stays firm, giving no response. “Haha! Alright, hop on. And I recognise you, Hector. You don’t need to be tested.” Hector snaps his fingers and points at the Gengar. “Ayyy That’s how we do it!” The conductor just rolls his eyes. “Yeah you just- Wait… Hector did you…” Hector was sweating, and kind of covering his crotch. The Conductor deeply sighs and reaches into a bag. Then he digs up a yellow diaper. “Here.” “Yooo! Thanks so much you’re the-” Hector stops once he sees the Conductors face. He was looking much scarier than before. Not scary for me I mean. Hector sheepishly takes the diaper and puts it on. “R-really. Thanks. You do more than you can ever imagine….” The Conductor says nothing and looks forward, waiting for us to take our seats. Hector places a claw on my shoulder, and winks. I brush it off of me. “A-anyway. You took that pretty well, Shuto. Most people cry when that happens.” The Conductor was listening to our conversation and spoke “Most? You mean just you right? When you took your shot you cried lik-” “fhfhejisakdja shush! T-That’s not true at all! uhh… let’s go find our seats.” Giving a soft chuckle I follow Hector to the seats, sitting down next to him. There were other pokemon in the bus. All with different colored diapers, for whatever reason. Each of them had that same badge as well. Hector lays his arms around me. Blushing really hard I smack them off. Hector was wide eyed in shock. “ Yowch! Okay then. You don’t like that in public. Nice to knowww… Oh yeah! This school has its own section that’s as big as a town. You have the school grounds itself along with the A section, just for the dorms, themselves. There’s a place for stores, and restaurants. Honestly, you don’t ever really need to leave the academy. Hell, some of the students already don’t. I just like to explore, so you’ll find myself outside the academy a lot. Josh… Not so much. He spends most of his time in his room. He’ll go out if I ask him to. He’d only leave by choice if he wants to go shopping, or finds whatever he’s interested in.” “Is there food good there?” “Oh boy. If you thought that steak was good? That’s literal CHILDS PLAY!” The Conductor yells out. “Quiet down will ya! Unless you want us to crash. Because I WILL do it!” I look at Hector, unamused. Some of the other pokemon there were also looking at him. Some pokemon were a bit worried if they were crashing. Not me though. Hector starts to sweat and quiets down. “Ha sorry… But seriously they hire the finest chefs. And don’t worry you won’t go hungry with the all you can eat buffet! Even the professors are on another level! But, I’ll be your beeeetter teacher. I got quite the experience.'' Hector gives a blow kiss and winks. At me. “Look forward to it.” Time flies and we eventually arrive at the entrance to the academy. As we start walking out, The Conductor turns towards us. “Here we are! dorm 36” I tilt my head. “36? How many dorms are there, Hector?” “Oh, I know this. There’s 100 with the dorms able to fit 36 students. With around a thousand students, give or take. It’s not crazy big, because these are only those gifted with totally cool abilities! But, it's still a lot for a private school.” The Conductor looked unamused at Hector “Wooow, It only took you a whole year to learn the basics. Good job.” Hector puffs out his chest and smirks. “Heh, thanks! I know I- W-wait was that an insult?” Ignoring Hector, the Conductor looks towards me. “But yeah.That’s pretty much the gist. Since you’re a transfer student, you don’t have to worry about the first month of school. So use this time to learn the layout of the academy. For you, it’s on the 14th of moonseta (Moon- set- ah that would be august on earth times in the past). Use your time on your break to make your way around. Get to know the place. We don’t want you getting completely lost on your first day.” The Conductor glares at Hector for a second. How much beef do those two have? I guess I’m a little curious, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to know more… The Conductor continues. “Besides that, welcome to Red Circle Ravenwood Academy!” We both got off the bus. Hector searches his pockets for his keys. He stumbles about, and even has them drop on the floor. But, he tries to play it cool by picking them up with his tail. He unlocks the door, letting me go in first. Hector shouts out. “Josh! I'm home! We got a new one!” An anthro yellow and green patterned Ampharos walks down the steps. He has gloves on, while in a yellow diaper, with the badge I keep seeing everywhere. He was thin, but extremely fit with very clear signs of a six pack. His eyes were as red as his ruby that sits on his forehead. He’s also quite tall, with his neck giving him an extra boost to his height. Once he reaches the bottom, his long neck cranes down to stare at me. “Heya I’m Josh.” He had a very thick British accent. You could tell he’s never been to any other region. Even though he was staring at me, my eyes were focused on his diaper. “You casually walk around like that?” Josh looked confused. As if I asked a question with an obvious answer. “Yeaah? You will too. So what?” “Pardon?” Hector steps in between me and the Ampharos. “Uhhhhhh, haha! Would you look at the time! Wait down here, and make yourself comfortable! I’ll get you registered, and get your uniform. Okay?” Hector rushes away, going into some sort of reserves room. I look back at the tall, yellow, guy. “So about the diapers” “What of it? Does it bother you? Possibly mess with your dignity? Hah! Don’t worry. No one cares, honestly. We all wear one. But, they are incredibly comfortable.” His paw rubs around his diaper. Maybe as a way to prove how soft it is? I doubt it. But the thing that was weird was how he was rubbing right where the bulge is. Where his… Dick is. How is he comfortable doing that? Do they expect me to do that? All of these thoughts were in my mind. But, on the outside I have my usual disinterested expression. He didn’t even rub it for that long. Then continues as if nothing happened. “About the only thing you might get made fun of is the diaper color you wear.” “The color?” “Ya. See this circle badge? Each color represents what year you are.” He points at each color on the badge. “Hot pink, which is where you’ll be, is for freshmen. Year two is yellow. Year three is green.Year four is orange. Year five is blue. And last, but most certainly not least. Is the seniors. They’re black. It looks very snazzy. I want to wear the senior one. But mostly out of curiosity to how it might feel. Perhaps they use a special material for that one?” This guy is really talking about the colors of diapers… But, wait. There’s something he missed. “What about the white in the middle?” “Oh right. That’s for all of the staff workers and teachers. You’ve probably seen one if you rode the bus here. They are the core that makes everything work here. Our caretakers, if you will. Oh! And there are no bathrooms here. so you're going to need them. So don’t be ashamed to let it rip! Everyone else does. They’re also okay with walking around in clean, wet/messy or even cum stained diapers. It’s uh, quite the show, let’s say.“ “I can see why you always stay in your room.” “For all the reasons I spend in my room, that isn’t one of them.” “Speaking of. You're pretty fit for someone that doesn’t leave your room. " Josh looked almost offended by my question. "Well, for one. It’s important to keep your personal health up. But also Gotta look out for myself in some way.” “Lookout for what?” Josh had a much more serious face. “I’m not stupid. Look at you. Look at me. We’re both anthro. You have dreams of being in a hallway that looks like a lab ya?” “How did you know?” “I'm sure everyone here has had that dream. All of us have powers. It’s obvious we are experiments. Maybe this academy can protect us in some way. But, I’m going to protect myself in some way, and do more studies on stansonas.” It’s weird to think that there’s a whole school of people that had similar dreams as me. Maybe he was on to something. But, at the same time. My main goal is to support my mother. If I can learn more about myself, that’s cool, I guess. Hector returns with a hot pink diaper in his claws. “I’m back, hun! Try on your uniform. Hehe, go on!” “This is embarrassing…” Slipping on the diaper, they weren't wrong about it’s comfortability. I never wore something so comfortable all my life. This might not be so bad. That and It’s better than making a mess on the ground. Hector walks around, checking me out in my uniform. Gah! I never blushed so hard. “Cut it out, will you?” “You look so good!” Giving grunts, I walk away. “Aye! Shuto, wait! I haven’t even shown you where my room is.” Hector catches up with me then walks ahead, tilting his head real quick to get me to follow. I carry my luggage as I get brought in to the room. “Here it is! It’s not the biggest room, but at least it’s not messy… Well, for now. If you get my drift, lmao.” Not responding, only tilting my head in confusion. I saw Hector’s confidence began to fade. “Ahh, heh.. Nevermind. You’ll see later on.” Hector closes the door as he hops on the bed, and watches me unpack. After a bit of time passed, with most of my stuff being put away. I finally had a moment to make myself comfortable. I sat on bed, catching my breath from being drained. Hector twiddles his claws as he leans closer towards me. “Am I allowed to hug you now Shuto? It’s just you and-” I went in and rested my head on his chest, and closed my eyes.. Hector was a little shocked, but quickly got comfortable. He wraps his arms around me, and rests his head on top of mine. Very curiously I ask “How many people live in here?” “You don’t like being around a lot of people do you? Haha. Don’t worry there’s only four of us.” “Four?” “Yep yep. Rawr, rawr. You, me, josh and some four year. He’s never around so don’t worry.” The warmth from Hector, and his soothing yet charming voice, was enough for me to fall into a deep sleep… Before I knew it, it was the next morning. With Hector already at my side. “Aye! Shuto, good morning! Let’s use this time today to find your classes! Maybe if you’re lucky, we got the same classes.” Hector rubs against my diaper crotch, and feels the wetness from my urinated diaper, which makes me smack his claws hard. “Don’t touch there ever.” Hector jumps back a bit grabbing his claw “S-Sorry, sorry. Where can I?” I let his claw touch around my rump. That part as well being wet. It was sorta like a squishy cushion. Hector all smug speaks to me as he still looked down at my rump. “Want a change?” “I can change myself.” Hector looks a bit concerned yet still understanding. “We’re a couple now, please let me be a part of your life.” “You are, it's just a slow build.” Hector scratches the back of his head “Slow? Heh. I'm not great at it, but I’ll try. Are you ready yet? I’m curious to see what teachers you have!” So much for slowing down. But, I’m curious too. I follow Hector out of the dorm, as we reach the living room. With hector leaning on the couch right next to Josh, who was just typing away on his computer. “Hey, Josh! Want to join us, and see which classes Shuto gets? Besides, you can’t stay in your room when classes begin.” Josh leans up and sighs “Uggghhhh Fine. I guess…” Josh gets off the couch then walks closer over to us, gritting his teeth. Once he was right up to me, it seemed obvious he gave a fake smile. I don’t think he was upset with me, more like he didn’t really want to go. “I see you’ve already been using up your uniform. Heh, soggy boy. I wonder how long it’ll take for you to use the other end.” ”It probably won’t be long. I eat a lot…” “Why was that the area you looked at first?” Josh sighs. “After being in this academy for a while, you begin to pay attention to and appreciate a spot most don’t care about, or take for granted. That and Hector made me chan-” Hector steps in. “Oh, please. don’t go there! You wanted me to change you first. And you were all like: Oh ThIs Is EmBarRassing YoU GotTa ShoW YoUrSelF Too. Which, honestly I don’t mind that. Anyone can stare if they want me too. Rawr!” Josh looked unamused at Hector, but still continued. “ Well…I don’t mind it, now. But, when I was a first year student, or just in that time period in general. I was uncomfortable with showing myself. What I’m saying is after some time, you’ll be okay with it, too. It’s just the nature of this place.” I look at Hector, and Josh. They’re really trying to convince me that this is normal… “I’m ok with it. Just would rather it be with someone I trust.” They both look at me as if they actually cared about what I said. I don’t know if it was real or not. But, Hector spoke up. “Haha! I hope I can earn your trust then, Shuto.” Josh pats my back, and gives a better smile. His eyes were closed, and his head tilted down at me. I believe this was genuine this time. But still… “Personal space.” Hector got the idea and took a step back. Then looks at Josh. “Oh! By the way, Shuto doesn’t like being touched. But, if I earned his trust early on, you definitely will, eventually” Josh cleared his throat as he also gave me some space. With a bit of time I’m sure he will. I'm starting to like him already, and happy to see him tag along. I do have trust issues. But, it’s easier trusting him, because he's close to Hector. I followed Hector as he lead me to the main hall grounds on the Campus. The academy was extremely big, with all of it surrounded by a golden gate at the front entrance. The big golden statue of a Snivy must be their mascot or something. The building was shaped, or structured like one huge circle, six stories high. I assume it’s for each student grade level. Even though the building was structured as a circle, you could tell it was made by the highest crafters. When inside, you see the main hallway where some of the teachers were waiting there. They have digital paper copies for the students. I began to speak. “We aren’t really the same year. So, how would we end up in the same classes?” Hector winks at me. “It’d be weird if I worked something out with the teachers, or something, haha!” “What? You can do that?” Hector chucked. “You won’t believe what I had to do to make sure that worked!” Now I’m getting more confused. “What do you mean?” “Uhhh… Classrooms! There they are!” Hector rushes over, scanning for students with the last name J. “We have the same classes Shuto, see?” He shows me copies of both his and my schedule. Josh got a look at it too, and he was baffled about something. “Wait! What the hell, Hector!? You couldn’t get you and me with the same schedule? But you do with a person who you’ve been with for two or three days ago?” Josh says, annoyed. As he points out showing his schedule. Hector was sweating a bit. “Look it was hard to get my boy- I mean cute bulbasaur on the same schedule. Let alone two. Besides, I have to make sure Shuto has a smooth time in his classes. You know how hectic the first year can be for someone.” Josh scoffs. “More like someone for you… But yeah… I get what you mean. Well, at the very least, we have most classes.” Hector nods. “Yep! Let’s go to the first class!” Hector puts his arms around my shoulder as we head on our way. We walked by another teacher, who was a Nidoqueen. Her white diaper showed she was part of the staff. She gives me a warm smile. “Oh! You must be Shuto! Such a cutie. Welcome to Red Circle Ravenwood Academy, I’m Mrs. Vona. Here in the academy we don’t do the typical math, writing, science etc etc. We do subjects that involve students using their gifts to their fullest potential!” I didn’t react much. The only smiles I care about are from my mother, and Hector…“Okay” After that dry response, Hector started to sweat and spoke. “Hahaha! Ahh, Shuto is a bit shy, don't mind him.” We continue to where our first class could be. Josh was following from behind, scrolling on his phone. The other students were making comments about him. And a bit about me. “That Ampharos looks so hot!” “Whose the chubby one? “Those abs, huff. What’s he packing in his diaper?” Josh was so engrossed, he didn’t even notice they were talking about him, or he didn’t care. I don’t blame him, I don't care either. Though am I really chubby? Then, as if Hector was reading my mind. “Rawr. Don’t let them get you hun.” “So is there no exclusivity here in this school, Hector?” “Of course there is. Each grade has their exclusive class that only they can enter. Like, since you're a freshman, you have some introductory classes you have to deal with. But, those aren’t the main classes. Same goes for each other class as well. The cameras on the doors scan your diaper and bulge to identify you.” I tilt my head in curiosity. “Not scan your head? Wouldn’t it be easier that way?” Josh looks up from his phone for a second. “Isn’t it more impressive they scan you a different way Shuto?” I look over to him. “It is extremely.” Satisfied with the answer, Josh goes right back to his phone. Hector chuckles. “That Josh. Only speaking when he hears something interesting… Anyway, c’mon, Shuto! I still need to show you where your classes are!” Before I could even do anything Hector holds my hand and dashes into the entrance. Just for us to accidentally bump in a Snivy with glasses. Knocking both his glasses and the books out of his hands. “Aye! What's the rush?” Hector yelps. “Sorry! Hehe. I got really excited. Let me help you.” Hector and I help the Snivy up. Then we gathered his stuff and gave it to him. He adjusted his glasses and looked at me. “Oh, aye. You're Shuto right?” “I guess. What made you suggest?” “Oh, just rumors of a transfer, really.” Hector looked at the Snivy, then at me. “M-man the stuff spreads fast aye Shuto?” The Snivy clears his throat. “Sorry i'm in a hurry. But, nice meeting you, Shuto, Josh… Hector.” Just like he went off. I look over to Hector. “We never got to know his name?” Hector shrugs. “Eh, don’t worry about it. He was just some 6th year or something. He did know my name though… Probably cuz I’m that famous!” Hector grins at literally no one. I look at him, unamused. “Somehow I doubt that.” “Anywayyyyy C'mon! We got things to do!” Once we enter the class room, an anthro Meowth approaches me. He gives me the most friendliest look. It was a little bit creepy. Of course I didn’t show it. But, I may have leaned closer to Hector for him to protect me, unintentionally. “Welcome Shuto. You must be a fellow Kanto region boyo. You and I will get along really well. I’m Mr. Tadshi and I’m, both your home room teacher, and your body anomaly teacher.” He starts walking around me. “You’re a reptile. So, you’ll be very interesting.take a look around. Not in the sexual way, of course. I’m genuinely just interested in the body. And I make sure ALL of the parts get it’s well deserved attention.” Hector starts waving. “Yo TADSHI! Remember me?” Tadshi’s smile melts away “... Hector.” He quickly walks away, clearly not wanting to talk. Hector really made a name for himself didn’t he? I see that each desk has name plates on them. Mine was in the mid back with Hector next to me on the right. While Josh on the left. I sat on my desk to try to get used to where I was sitting. Josh stands right next to me with his arms crossed, and some of his diaper butt resting on the side of my desk using it as a sorta resting point. In the corner of my eye, I see an anthro Growlithe walking up to me. He leans forward on my desk. “Oh heeeeyyy! You must be the transfer student, ya? I’m Leo!” His face was so close that I could touch it with my snout. “Personal space” Hector pulls Leo by his backfur, just to give me some space. “Personal space, dude. Do you typically approach people like this?” As Leo struggles in Hector’s grip, Josh starts to chuckle. “You're the one to talk, Hecy.” Hector stares at Josh “Oi, oi! Hush!. I’m just looking out for my boy.” “You're just training him, it's not like he’s your kid, or anything more really.” Hector looks at me and smiles “Well he is to me.” Seeing Hector’s eyes look into mine. It causes me to blush. But I still look stern and grumble. “Cut that shit out, Hector.” “If you say so, heh” Josh and Leo both look at us in confusion believing we may be more than friends. Then Leo starts to yap. “Hey! Can ya let go of me, now? You’re ruining my fur!” I guess Hector forgot he was holding that dog back. He lets go of him, and even pats Leo’s back. As if saying sorry for messing with his fur. Leo just rolls his eyes and looks back at me. “Uh, anyway. Even though they haven’t introduced you yet, I already know about you. You wanna know why? It’s because I know about all of the news around here. I’m your guy for the latest news! The rumor guy even. For example, Did you know there’s a third year in a class as easy as this one? Crazy stuff, yeah?” I wasn’t too interested in that, But Hector looked a bit surprised. “R-really? Where?” Leo points over to a black colored Eevee, with some orange fur parts. Even I didn’t notice him, due to him really trying not to be seen. Then, Leo looks back at me. “Yeah, He’s a real shy one. And I bet it has something to do with his dick! But, once I do know, you’ll be the first to hear it. If you come to me, that is.” Leo was really talking himself up like he’s some big shot. But, wait. There’s something I need to know. “Introduce yet? You mean school already started?” Leo snaps his fingers. “Yep, with this academy there's a period where school sorta starts, and you can use this time to study, or figure out some of the subjects on your own. You're a transfer student so you don’t have to worry about this period. But, you will have to next year.” Hector stands next to me, and gives a sly look or two at Leo. Maybe he’s still trying to look out for me. But, I can already take care of myself. “Anyway. Shuto. You want to check out the next classes?” Josh speaks while still looking at his phone. “You guys go on without me. I have a few different classes than you guys. Because SOMEONE forgot to make sure I was in the same classes as you, Shuto.” Hector looks at Josh, and sweats. “I told you I couldn't. You don’t realize all I did to get all of our schedules to be as close as it is! I’m honestly shocked I got it this far.” Josh chuckles. “Yeah, I’m just giving you a hard time. I know you mean well.” Josh puts his hand on Hector's head giving him a nuggy then proceeds to leave the room. Just as he leaves, Hector sighs. “Man. I wish he’d nuggy my crotch instead. But, oh well. I take what I can get. Let’s head to the next class, Shuto!” We leave the class. We were not far behind Josh, but we eventually took a different turn in the hallway. We headed up some stairs. There were a few moments where I had to catch my breath. Hector waited for me to catch up though. We eventually made it to the next class. The room was filled with views of all the regions, and globes of our planet, Metophas. (met-top-as) I have a feeling I know what class this is. “What is this a history class or something?” “Rawr, Rawr! How did you know?” I shrug. “The globes, maps, and general vibe, I guess.” “Well, it just shows how adaptable you are. Some first years couldn’t tell what class this is even after… Being in it for a few days… H-haha random example, yeah?” It’s pretty obvious it wasn’t. But, I didn’t care that much. One thing that did catch my attention was… Well the fact the teacher isn’t here? “isn't there a suppose to be a teacher here or something?” A paw touches my shoulder causing me to jump, and throw my fist. I just barely miss hitting the Dewott. But he didn’t seem fazed at all. “Interesting flexes you haveee. I’m Mr. Nathan. Your History teacher. And you are?” … “Good talk. Hey. Hey! no TOUCHING!” Nathan runs over to a group of students, messing with one of the globels. “Damn young generation! none of you kids have any respect for your elders these days!” As I watched Nathan readjust the globe, my eyes drifted to a Gabite that sat at a desk alone. It honestly looked like he wanted to cry. But, something was causing him to hold back. I couldn’t just sit there and watch. I wanted to help. Do anything then just stare. Diminishing my better judgment, I approached him. Hector jumps in front of me trying to push me the other direction. “Woah, woah! No, Shuto. That’s Nyx. He’s someone you don’t want to be around, trust me.” Softly putting his arms down. “Trust me Hector.” Hector didn’t look too convinced. But, he still lets go and follows me from behind. I approached the Gabite. “You ok?” Nyx, looking annoyed, not even looking up at me. “The fuck you want?” Brushing his response off. “You have bruises. I’m sorry that someone may have hurt you. If you want I can go deal wit-” “Don’t worry about it. I took care of them good. But, you’re being concerned over me?? Do you even know who I am?” Hector was looking nervous, But I knew what I was doing. “Do I have to know you to worry about your safety?” There was a slight pause. Nyx looked genuinely confused. “I… But, why? Why would you go out of your way for me?” I just shrug my shoulders. “Just for the sake of it?” Nyx forms a soft smile, but still not fully looking at me "You're really odd, you know that?” I kept my cool, not showing more emotion than needed. Hector, however, was awestruck. His eyes and maw were wide open. “Wha!? No way!? I never saw Nyx smile before. how’d you do that, Shuto?” Hector yells, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. Nyx’s soft smile turns to fierce anger. “Grrr! Who the hell cares so what if I’m smiling! Do you have a problem with that!? What’s it to you anyway!?” It was like his mood immediately changed after Hector spoke. “Uhh. Hehe… O-of course I don't have a problem with that! Uh, can we go, Shuto?” “ya.” Nyx watches us begin to leave but softly utters out. “S-Shuto. You already know my name. And, well, I know yours now, but…. Thanks.” “mhm” Hector and I both leave the room. Hector still looked a bit nervous from what just happened. But I know he’ll get back to his loud self, eventually. I follow him to where we need to go next. But, we suddenly stopped. “Hector?” “Uh… I think we’re done for today... Ready to go home, Shuto?” “.. Sure..” Hector and I both make our way out, and begin to ride the bus on our way back to our dorms. The Conductor saw the way Hector looked and sighed. “You already tired yourself out, didn’t you?” Hector jumped a bit, and tried to sound lively. “W-what? Me? Pffft! Nooooo. I’m a second year. They don’t get tired.” The Gengar didn’t look convinced. And honestly neither did I. The Conductor rolled his eyes, and slouched down into his chair. “Well, you’re an adult. It’s not my job to take care of you, anyway.” Hector looked a little lost in thought, then he looked at the Conductor. “I get ya. But, it’s okay! I have someone who I can take real good care of! That will help out a lot.” Hector looks at me with a warm smile… I really don’t know what he sees in me. What do I have that makes him act this way towards me? The Conductor looks back at Hector, then a quick glance at me. “Ah. I see…I guess that’s the closest you’ll get. Alright, I’ve got stops to get to. Get on already!” We both got to our seats. I honestly really had to go. I was holding it in while we were on the campus, and on the bus ride back. I know I’m already wet but I feel like most people didn’t notice. But, if I did end up going in myself, people would have definitely noticed, for sure. “Does Josh know we left?” “Ya. He already went home. I was just texting him, but I have a feeling that he probably didn’t check his other classes.” When we reach our stop I quickly head off the bus, trying not to make a scene, and tried hard to play it cool. But, with each time Hector fumbled around with the keys messing it up, made me inches from starting to sweat. “Hurry, please.” “Huh? Why?” “I need to go.” “Oh! Hehe, rawr. Y’know. We all are wearing diapers. I’m sure Josh already told you about the whole using diapers thing. Everyone goes in them, everyday. In fact, I’m sure you noticed some of the students we walked passed definitely had something going on there. And for once I’m not talking about the bulge, lmao. In fact there was one time where I-” “You don’t understand I need to go but on the other end.” “Oh, heh. Even with that end, mons do that and aren’t bothered. But, I can see how you think that will ruin your image. Don’t worry. I’ll still hold you close even then.” I just nodded and felt a little relieved. As Hector finally opens the door, letting me in. I rush past Josh, and make my way into the room. “What’s his deal.” “He has to go, if you get what I mean.” “Ahhh I see.” “Remember our first time when we went in our diapers?” “Well ya it was literally last year.” “Ugh… Way to ruin the moment Josh.” “You're welcome! Now go attend to your marshmallow.” “Marshmallow?! How did I not think of that as a nickname? To make matters worse Josh was the one that thought of it...” “The hell is that supposed to mean?” “Gooood question!” Hector sticks his tongue then leaves catching up to me. I was just waiting by the stairs for Hector to hurry up. We make our way to the room, and Hector sits on the bed, on his back. with his arms open wide. Locking the door I rested on him with my chin resting on his chest. I looked up at him with a sad look. Hector just smiles back. “Aw you look so adorable like that! But, it's okay. We all go in these. I won’t make fun of you, or even love you less. It's okay! I promise. Just let it all out when you feel comfortable.” Hector softly pets my hair and gazes into my eyes. I squinted my eyes as my dignity was going... Going… Gone.. The back end of my diaper begin to smell as small mountains begin to form around my backend. …”Hector. C-could you… change me.” “Rawr. Who could turn such adorableness like that down? C'mere marshmallow. My baby s'mores made an oopsie.” Giving an unamused look “Stop” Hector smirks “Haha! No promises.” Hector kisses me on my forehead, then lays me on my stomach. Since it would have been harder to do on my back, with my ‘bud’ in the way. In fact I haven’t thought about it ever since I first used my ability… Hector grabs some supplies, then begins to take off my diaper and clean up my rear end. Hector, looking down at me. “All better!. My little marshmallow. A clean butt is a good butt.” He softly smacks my butt causing me to react with a shocked to quickly annoyed look. “Aw, don't look at your senpai like that.” He finishes putting the diaper on me, then gives a kiss on my butt. He turns me over, and gives me a kiss on my lips. I kiss him back, and allow our maws to exchange each other's tongues. His blue tongue touching against my gray one. This goes on for a bit until Hector pulls out, and excitedly leaves the room. “Josh! Josh! Guess what! Guess what!” “What?” “Shuto made his first toot, toot! He somehow made it the situation adorable!” “Haha! Took him long enough. He definitely held longer than you and I on our first day. Especially you.” “Yeah, yeaaah.” Hector just sticks his tongue, and runs back up to me. Even though I was in the room still, and didn’t see anything. Hector is so damn loud I could hear everything he said, and what actions he did. I’m just basing it off the bit I heard. Hector goes right back to hugging me tightly. “Love you Shuto” “Love you too.''My eyes grow heavy, and begin to shut closed. Then I fell into a deep sleep. Safe within Hector's arms. He looks down to me with a smile, before also sleeping with me. “Shhhuuuuuuto… Shuto!” A familiar voice calls out to me, awakening me from my slumber. With eyelids open I see Hector's face so close to mine, I could count all the scale patterns he had on his face alone. “What’s up with people not letting me wake up when I want to?” Hector chuckles and kisses my lips. Then starts to hug, and nuzzles into me. “Well time is limited so I want to make good use of it. Let's go meet some of your other teachers, today!. Then tomorrow, and the next, we’ll explore the compass some more. After that though you'll be on your own because Josh and I will have to go back to school. It technically started a month ago. Us two were just way ahead.” Puzzled a bit I looked over to Hector. “You were ahead on something?” Hector looks at me with the most disappointing look. Though I’m not sure if it was a joke, or I actually hurt him by saying that. “Oh c’mon don't be like that. Haha! I’m good at things when I want to.” Wiping my originally shocked look, to my typical unamused look. “You’re right, hun.” I got myself out of bed, and stretched myself to the point where I popped my back a little. It wasn’t painful or anything. In fact it was just what I needed. Hector, coming in from behind, somehow was able to lift me up. Once again, shocking me. But, for only a second as he helps assist me in popping my back. “Rawr~ good boy” blushing a bit I’m unable to utter words “mmm…awar..” Hector only looks at me filled with excitement. He turns me around and kisses my lips, repeatedly. “So cute!” Annoyed, I try to walk away, as he still watches me from behind, probably smiling. “Shuto wait! Your diaper. Let me change you really fast.” Shrugs, and lays on my back. Just remembering I had a bud. Uttering words of annoyance to myself quietly I flipped over onto my stomach, and allowed Hector to change me. Afterwards, we made our way to the bus stop. I sit more closer than usual to Hector, for his protection. But, even though I tried to play it cool, he seemed to pick up on it. He didn’t put his arm around, and still gave me space. But, he was still looking out for me. The bus eventually arrived with it now waiting for us to hop on. Other than Hector snapping his fingers and pointing at the Conductor, and with him rolling his eyes. Nothing special happened there. Once inside, I follow Hector to a seat and sit next to him. Hector makes himself comfortable leaning back more than usual.”This is one of my favorite parts, Nutcracker” unamused yet also intrigued. “A bus ride?” Hector leans close to me, but still enough to give me space. “Ya. The seats are extremely comfortable, a super cool conductor, and mons all around to look at~ Though you don’t like a lot of pokemon around, so you’d probably not like that. But, what I’m really fond of is just hearing pokemon speak. Listen in hunnybun.” Hector and I listen in as we hear pokemon are talking. An anthro Rattata and Spearow sit next to each other, pulling out digital scans that sorta look like paperwork they pull out from their rucksacks. “I was up partying so late last night, that I honestly forgot to take care of homework…” “Honestly same! Wanna go over to the cafe and do a bit of studying?” The Rattata puts his stuff away, as he listens to his friend.”Honestly, ya! let’s do that.” I turn towards Hector, full of curiosity. “Oh? Hehe. You wanna go to the cafe, do you?” Just nods away at the question. “Rawr~ Hehe! I’ll take you there either later today or tomorrow.” Eventually the bus reaches up to the academy campus. Right as we were about to head off. The Conductor speaks to me. “I’m glad you took my advice on giving the school a tour, so you don’t get dragged behind.” Hector looks over at him then gives off a cocky look. “I was going to give Shuto a tour guide regardless if you said something, or not.” The conductor gave Hector an unamused look. “Meh. Just doing my job. And you better do yours good, too.” Hector nods as we got off the bus. I follow Hector to whatever class he wants us to check. Although, the class he was wanting me to checkout looked a lot like gym? Possibly a p.e.? The second we went in, I hear a loud and jock voice. “Oh since when did they start having fat fucks like you in here? Ohhh. Actually, you’ll probably need it.” turning around to see an anthro Ponyta. He wears an orange diaper. so, he’s a fourth year, and a fucking horse. Hector shakes his head. “Just ignore them, Shuto” Hector tries to reassure. Which I do try my best to do so. But that Ponyta just won’t stop talking “Oh wait. Aren’t you that one kids son? Ms. Jolly? She’s kinda hot, not going to lie. If I could I wou-” “minority.” Interrupting his words, My stansona grabs a hold of him by the arm. Then proceeds to launch him towards me. Once he was in my grasp I grab him by the neck with one hand, while the other was stationary in case he tried to do something. As I stared into his eyes showing absolutely no remorse. Then, I hear Hector’s voice. “Shuto! No stop! Let him go! Your going to make him< faint>!” Hector tries grabbing my arms, but I don't budge. He’s going to pay for even thinking about touching my mother, period. Hector tries to lift me, but I let myself become more firm, and heavy. “I’m sorry nutcracker. I can't let you do this.” Hector leans down then does a swift kick to my ball. Not hard enough to kill, or well but enough to stop, and grab ahold of my soft bits.”ow.. What the hell man… Argh” Whimpering in a lot of pain. Even though Hector didn’t hit it that hard, it still hurt like hell, and even caused me to wet a little. Hector puts his arms around and on top of my diaper front. Not to be sexual, but feeling where I was hurt. Which I just smack at his claw for doing that. “I’m so sorry Shuto. I didn’t want to hurt you. I really didn’t… But, you weren’t even listening to anything I was saying. It felt like I was talking to a completely different pokemon…” Giving more of a worried look for once. I realized that I may have really scared Hector. And he was right. For a second I did lose myself there. “No, I’m sorry Hector. I don’t know what got over me, I just... He... When he started talking about my mother like that I was having none of it. People can talk down about me. I don’t care honestly. But, to others, or the ones I care about? That's drawing the line.” Hectors look of concern vanished and went to a more friendly look from just me speaking. “Your so loya-” “ So eager! We could definitely use a guy like you in a part of MY gym class. ” A Machamp walking in from behind us. Very confident with his hands on his white diaper… white white oh isn’t that staff and teachers design colour? “Though, I don’t recall seeing you around here. Even then! With you being a freshman, I feel like I should’ve seen you. Who knows, maybe I have seen you, and just didn’t notice.” Hector was still trying to comfort me, but something was clearly on his mind. “W-wait. Aren’t you a teacher? Shouldn’t that be part of your job?” The Machamp’s gaze on Hector was fierce. “How dare you point out my inconsistencies. Just for that, 20 laps! Now, now!” Hector jumps up to his feet giving a salute. “Y-yes sir!” I watched Hector go around the whole gym. It was a little amusing to see how tired he got, and yet the teacher just yelled, and had him keep going. I know my, uh, non chubbiness would make that a bit difficult for me…as I was watching, the couch pats my back. “Oh haha Don’t worry about that, honestly you and I are going to get along jussssssst fine. I’m coach Ken by the way.” I just nod, and patiently wait for Hector’s punishment to end. Eventually, Hector did all of the laps. He was crouched over, full of sweat, and with his blue tongue sticking out, like a dog. “N-note to self… Never… Talk back… To THIS teacher specifically… Again…” Hector does regain his breath enough to speak properly.“ By the way, Shuto. With us having the same classes you’ll mostly be doing classes that are above freshman level.” Oh, joy… Way to throw a lot onto me, but it’s whatever. Hector will be there with me through it all. Hector puts his arms on my shoulder to help keep himself standing, but I immediately knock it off. Though I think not because he wasn’t expecting that reaction, and more to him actually being heavily out of shape. My action caused him to fall over. Looking around in hopes no one is looking, I crouch down, and lift Hector off the ground. “Are you ok?” Hector looks at me with the intent that he was about to hug me, or something. But, decided to hold back, possibly. “Oh? You showing concern over little ol me? Rawr~ That’s quite pog~” “Quit” “Fine. Party po- Oh actually, don’t you find it odd that the coach didn’t show any concern that you almost made a pokemon ? Heh. You became his favorite just for that.” I just shrug and look in the opposite direction. To be honest I wasn’t thinking about it. These last two days have been a lot on me really, and I can’t keep track. I’m just really going along with most things happening here. “Just.. wait Shuto.. w-when I c-catch my breath ath.” Hector sits back down, while I sit right next to him. Sorta interest yet concerned, but didn’t show it. Hector, feeling good finally. He looks at me, ready to speak. “There’s another class that we’re going to check out real quick.” Hector stands up then nods at me to follow, standing off my diaper butt I follow his way over to the next class. Once we reached inside the classroom we’re met with a Dewott who looked so young that you could mistake him for a student. The only reason why I knew he wasn’t was from him wearing a white diaper with the badge on it. The Dewott sees us coming in, and gives off a soft smile. Hector looked a bit confused. “W-wait uh… Didn’t we see a Dewott yesterday? You think he also teaches this class too?” The Dewott sighs. “You’re talking about my brother. We really don’t look that similar.” Hector sweats a bit. “Ah! R-right of course. My bad.” Despite that bad first impression, he welcomes us in and allows us to look around, and check out the classroom. “Welcome, you two! I haven't met you two before, though. I joined this year, so I’m very new. I only know about this place because of my brother, I’m Neko. My class is all about endurance.” I wasn’t really sure what he meant, and it seemed like Hector didn’t either, but the both of us tried to play it cool. But, maybe it was the silence from all 3 of us that may have caused Neko to figure we didn’t understand, making him chuckle. He pats my shoulder, making me scoff before he goes to speak. “Think of it as physical training, if you will. Be it running, swimming etc etc whatever helps with not completely relying on your stansona. This class is extremely important since well you guys aren’t really supposed to use your abilities in public. This class will also help you with using them without the average person even being able to see it.” But what’s the point of the p.e class if this is pretty much the same thing? Really the only difference being, one uses our abilities, while the other doesn't. Looking confused, I ask “Why do we have a pool?” Hector chimes in “Why wouldn’t we? Any excuse to see some guys in some soggy diapers, yeah?” I roll my eyes at Hector’s comment. Although the thought of Hector being wet is kind of nice… Not that I’d ever express that. Neko shrugs. “I’m new here, why would I know? But just know we do have one, and we’ll be using it quite a lot. But also, your padded butts will be moving a lot. I don’t play favorites, nor do I like to sit, and watch people do all the work. So, I’ll be doing these along with you guys!” Neko sounded very eager, the more and more he spoke. Then Hector asks. “Heh? Wait, you're doing these with us? Wait but.. Like.. … Does that mean you have a stansona like us?” It never really came to my mind until Hector pointed that out. But, if this is true, what’s the deal with this guy? He looks like he’s as old as us, and is new here apparently, but also has a stansona too?? “Yep, I sure do!” Hector looking quite shocked adds “Y-You do?” “Ya. I said I do. Why is this shocking for you guys?” “B-but you're a teacher!” “And?” Hector continued to look more balfiled while I just rolled my eyes, as I already moved on. I have only been here for a few days. What I do and don’t know is not set and stone. Hector looked towards me. “Uhh I think we’re done for today, Shuto let’s go.” I follow Hector out the door, and all the way out of the academy entrance. Then wait at the bus stop. “Are we still going to the cafe today or?” “To be honest I’m kinda worn out still from the gym. We’ll go tomorrow, it'll be another date.” The bus rolls up with the door all open and even though Hector didn’t really show it the Conductor somehow immediately knew it. “What’s got you all gloomy? Have you been giving him a hard time?” I’m not sure what it was but the look the conductor gave me I couldn’t really describe, but it felt very discomforting. Hector shakes his head, and leans closer towards me in a more comforting way, and maybe also to show him I wasn’t the issue, or at least that’s the vibe I got when I saw a change in demeanor with the conductor. “C-couch Ken.” “Oh gotcha, say no more. Don’t mind him, honestly I’ll try and see if I can work something out but... Take it with a grain of salt, he's pretty stubborn.” “I understand thanks.” Hector and I make our way near the back of the bus, in the main spot we usually sit. Hector laid his head on me, but this time I allowed it. He’s actually been through a lot today, and I actually genuinely feel bad. I do care about him. I really do. Even if I’m not the best at showing it, or myself in general. Once we made it back to the dorm, Hector didn’t really do anything goofy. It was mostly just unlocking the door, and letting me in. Not really saying much once inside. Really just going straight to bed. I let him be, and just made my way over to the kitchen, looking through the fridge. “I’m feeling…. Curry” But looking at what was inside the fridge there really weren't a lot of ingredients. Let alone enough to make curry, but I’ll improvise. Pulling out as much as I could from the fridge. I put what I got into the bowl, and mixed it together. After a bit of time I was able to make something spicy and sorta like curry. But I really had to improvise here. “No chopsticks? Man you mean I have to use other tools to eat here?” Scoffing to myself I tried to use a fork to eat, but was sorta struggling. Hector giggles as he sits right next to me and holds my hand, trying to readjust in a more proper position. Last I checked Hector went straight to his room, but maybe he didn’t? Or maybe the smell made him come out. Either way, Hector is here, now. “I didn’t know you could cook Shuto.” “Well ya, it was just my mother, and me. I mostly had to take care of her, and that requires cooking.” “Rawr~ look at you... I’m kinda jealous. My dads were the ones that well... Cooked for me.” Hector scratches the back of his head then starts to sweat. But, it was obvious he didn’t want to go any further so I won’t... For now. Hector looks back at the food I made. “Can I try?” “Sure, I have plenty.” Hector shrugs, and leans closer towards me. “Heh~ can I try from your plate though?” “Why?” “To do more things as a couple, really. If that’s okay.” Hector twiddles his claws as I give a more light hearted, yet still not smiling look.I softly slide the plate closer towards him. Hector smiles and gets closer towards me. He puts his arms around me, as he uses the fork, and takes a bite out of my curry. “G-guh! This is actually r-really hot!” “It is? I thought this was quite mild.” “But, you know. This is still really good, Shuto!” Hector acts dramatically teary eyed as he said that to me. “It’s not that good. I was just mixing what I could, mostly just scraps in the fridge, really.” “Hehe we gotta work on your self esteem, but still! You were able to make something great with just these scraps! C’mon man is that not impressive, or what?” I just shrug before going back to eating. After we finished eating, or more like Hector spoon feeding me, while also choosing to eat from the same plate as me. We proceed to do the dishes together, and put leftovers away, then hit the hay. The next day hits, and Hector makes our way over to the cafe, as we wait at the bus stop. When the bus arrived, Hector told the conductor to send us to the cafe. The Conductor chuckles. “Oh, heh. A hot spot for couples, haha!” “G-gosh! Not so loud will ya!?” Haha says the one who doesn’t have an inside voice.” Hector lowers his tone. “A-ack sorry.” The both of us make our way to the same spot we usually sit in. “Rawr~ Listen close, Shuto.” Hector and I listen close as we hear some of the students behind us talking. A sylveon and Leafeon sit right next to each other, scrolling through their phones. “You thought of trying out the rocket burger challenge?” The Leafeon shrugs. “I don’t have the guts to try that quite yet.” “Oh maybe going to the P.E. or doing more things can help you in that experience.” The leafeon twiddles his thumbs nervously with the thought of most likely having to do that. “That doesn’t sound like fun, but I do admit it would help me. Especially since I’d have to eat in front of a big crowd that’s most likely going to watch me eat.” Hector smirks, then looks at me. “Hmm whadda say, Shuto? Do you wanna try out that challenge some day?” It did sound interesting. But having to be around people just to prepare, or just try to eat with all these pokemon, observing and judging every bite. Even watching your facial expression to see if you're going to barf, or close to failing. Speaking of, if you do fail you’ll be disappointing everyone around you. or maybe they weren’t expecting you to succeed, and the entertainment was just to see how far you get. All of that is just too much for me... My thoughts only break from Hector hugging me, moving my arms around to smack him off of me. “S-sorry! You just really looked like you needed a hug, so I went out of my way to make sure you're ok.T-that’s all.” We eventually reached the stop to the cafe. Hector thanks the conductor, then we make our way off the bus and into the cafe. “Take a seat, Shuto. I’ll get us some coffee.” “Will I get to have my own this time?” “Rawr~ ya! Of course! Coffee is one of those things I like to have all to myself. So ya, for sure. Do you want yours hot or cold?” I'm sorry what? “Huh? since when did they start selling coffee cold?” “Haha. Y-you're joking right? That’s always been a thing, silly.” Huh? Since when? I never seen them sell it cold where I lived, but it’s whatever, I guess. Looking around, I actually start to feel nervous. I go to the nearest seat just so I can try to ignore the public. I try to really close myself out of everyone, trying to tone everyone out. My thoughts were interrupted by Hector’s voice. “I’m back, Shuto! You ok?” I only make soft childish noises, as he hands me a coffee with it creamed filled with whip cream. With me taking my first sip my eyes dilated from the sudden rush of sugar. Oh man this is a bit much. “Oh you don’t like it? I see you're not a sugar bug “ "Sugar bug?” “Aha! Just an expression, Nutty. I’ll trade you my coffee with yours. You might like it more, and it's also hot!” Before I could say anything, Hector took my coffee, and handed me over his. He starts sipping at it, not bothered by it one bit. So much with the not sharing part? I looked at my coffee and saw it was completely dark. When I drank it, It tasted pretty rich. “Woah what is this?” “CoffeeTart.” “Huh?” “That’s the name of the coffee you have, Nutty.” I gulp it down like it’s nothing, not even bothered by the heat. Hector looks in shock, but then tries to play it off looking all smug. He leans himself backwards, and rests his feet on the table, exposing them to me for some reason... I do say though… Argh! Hector, once again pulls me out of my thoughts with his voice. “So! Is there anything you’d like to know about little ‘ol me, Shuto?” Pausing for a bit, I try to think of something, but I’m kinda slow… However Hector was quite patient with me through it all. “Ya.. What was with you back when I made the decision to go to the academy? Your demeanor changed.” Hector looks away from me with more of a sad look but then looks back. “I-I just. Well I just wanted to make sure you didn’t make a decision you’d regret.” “What do you mean?” “...” Hector didn’t want to go any further, and I felt bad for going into his personal space. So, I looked away, ashamed. Hector continues. “The town you have. It’s a really nice place that I’d love to visit from time to time. And you have a very loving and caring parent. It’s just... I haven’t seen my home Tariff, in a long time. Nor my family either, for that matter. You're going to be on the same page. But I was hoping that you wouldn’t make the same mistake as me. Because unlike me, and many others, you got to have someone give you a heads up in advance. I really wanted you to be able to cherish all of that.” “If you visited my house a few times couldn’t you just visit yours?” Hector gives off a very frustrated, and annoyed look even though I haven’t been looking at him this whole time, I just kinda knew... And it is dumb of me to ask that... It’s not that simple, right? “I’m sorry” “It’s cool. But, let’s head back. It’s getting late. I’ll change you when we get home, and we’ll cuddle, k?” “Sure.” I felt my bond grow with Hector today. When in the dorm, while I’m being changed by Hector. He looks at me concerned. “I’m sorry about earlier. I just felt like you glossed over what I’ve been telling you. I just really want you to be appreciative of what you have.” “Sure thing” Hector kisses my diaper butt before smacking it. “Rawr~ good boy” He hops over on the bed and crawls over to me, only focusing on my face, as he looks deep into my eyes. I stared back at him, while I lay on my stomach. He started to kiss on my head until he softly pulled my head closer towards his chest as he begins to cover me with his body. As I layed there my eyes grew heavy and I allowed them to shut… I was fast asleep, clearly dreaming. But this wasn’t my usual dream of the factory. I was in some temple looking place, by a water fountain. It felt very peaceful for once, and even though I’ve never seen this place before, It felt familiar. Then I saw an Ampharos whose back was turned from me. Josh? “Hello Shuto.” “Where am I?” Josh only looks away still having his back turned from me. He didn’t respond. A little annoyed yet curious. I made my way over to him, yet for whatever reason, it felt like Josh knew my every move. Maybe even my thoughts, without him ever turning around to see me nor saying anything, but this is just a “Dream right? Why should it matter? Was that what you were about to suggest in your mind?” Josh turns his body only a little, so that he can look down at me. “I don’t intentionally try to read your thoughts. It's something I’m just stuck with. However, what I did intentionally do was bring you here. You’ll sleep much better tonight.” “Where’s Hector?” “Our friend? I didn’t invite him to this realm today, you needed it more than him. If I didn’t do anything, your experience would have been horrible tonight. Trust me on this. I know this stuff better than anyone.” I wasn't really sure what he meant but it doesn’t matter. “Got it.” Josh gives a soft smile as he looks away reaching out his arm patting his back “That’s so you Shuto adapting on the fly.” “What do we do?” Josh looks down at me but only with his eyes while his body stays the same position. Josh’s behavior was so odd in this dream, though. I don’t know him much to really say what he would and wouldn’t do. But this is a dream, so all my thoughts can be heard by everyone here right? Guh, such a pain. “Nothing really. Shuto, just look around, be at peace, this is just a way to slow down and take in the moment to reflect. But, you're free to leave at any point in time, and wake up back to the real world.” Taking deep breaths I relax, and try to take in the moment. I thought about my mother, and if she was doing ok. Or, how one moment I'm in my town alone, to where I am now, to a dorm of a diaper filled school, I mean academy. Then sleeping with Hector while in a strange dream with someone who I met once, I believe. Ya, a lot has happened in this short amount of days. With, I’m sure more to come. It’s cool, I’m ready to go. … .. .. . . . . Waking up, Looking around to see the room empty. Hector already left? That dream that I had was so weird. Should I talk to Josh about it? Standing up out of bed, I stretched then looked down, and realized I was in a fresh new diaper. Before Hector left he went out his way to change me even though I was asleep. Bless his heart. I’m not easy to work with at night... my mother would say. Stepping out, looking through the dorm “Josh? Josh?” Wait, he's not here. Hector, and Josh went back to school sessions. I should use this opportunity to check out this academy more. Oh wait there’s a guy that lives on the 3rd floor. I should check them out. Making my way up to the floor above, standing right at the door. I thought about knocking, but my body wouldn’t move to knock. As I got cold feet, I left the hall as quickly as I could. Heading down stairs there was a slip of a set of keys, and a tablet that was still on that had text. “Shuto, I have to be quick with this, or Josh may get upset with me taking a while. Thoooo he is pretty cute when he’s upset ngl, hehe. I’m getting carried away already rawr~ that’s my mind for ya. Anyway, I’m sorry I couldn’t say my goodbyes to you before I left. But, you looked really at peace while you were asleep, and I just didn’t want to disturb that. I know for a fact I wouldn’t want that. So I didn't. I hope you aren’t mad at me. So, here’s a set of keys you’ll need these, trust. The doors lock on their own when shut. Pretty hard to break open too, it's a high security reason. This academy is one of most safest places to be, just because of how damn rich the owner is. Ok, Ok. I got to go. Josh is totally going to throw a fit, haha!” Even though I didn’t show anyone emotion when I read it, I did feel warmth as I read the message Hector informed me. Grabbing the set of keys, I make my way out the door, and wait by the bus stop. The bus came much quicker than I expected. Is there a tracker on these bus stops? How does this guy always know when someone is waiting? The bus pulls up and opens the door. “All alone today Shuto?” I nod, and go to take a seat, but the conductor taps my shoulder. And nods for me to sit down on the seat that was right behind him. As I sat down he began to drive. “Hey, bud. Do you have any plans for later today?” “Why you ask?” “Maybe we can just go for a drive for a bit, and maybe chat a little? I’m sure there’s a lot on your mind.” I didn’t say anything, but he can tell that there was something on my mind just by looking at me. “I figured, heh. See you in a bit then.” I looked behind me, seeing a few more other pokemon. But, my eyes drew to the hakamo-o that stared out the window with a very serious expression. “Oh, don’t mind him. He’s just a guy who’s quite closed off, and acts like a good ol toughy. Hard to approach. Can’t imagine what being like that is like.” Just as he said that, the bus came to a different stop. A Salandit with a green diaper, so third year, comes onto the bus. Carrying what looks like ice cream. I didn’t pay too much attention to that, though. Then the Conductor starts to yell. “AYE! If you’re gonna eat on the bus, you better not let a single drop hit the seats. That meat is a bitch to clean! Or else I’ll drag your tail back here, and have ya clean the whole bus, ya got that?” The Salandit frantically nods, and goes to his seat, while being much more careful with his treat… But wait, didn’t he say meat? Oh well, I didn't put too much thought into that. The bus starts moving again, and the Conductor continues. “So, yeah. I consider myself a bit of an angel, hahaha!” I say nothing really, and just listen in. I guess a bit of time passed with the conductor talking to me, that I didn’t really have time to listen to others talking. “Welp. here we are. At the academy gates, remember to come see me when you make your way back. Okay, Shuto?” “Ok.” Stepping off the bus and into the compass. I knew exactly where I wanted to go. Hector made the mention of an all you can eat buffet, made by the most finest chefs. And you know damn well I’m not going to turn down on food, heh. I think the cafeteria is over here? No? Wait no, maybe over here? Damnit... Aha Here it is! Ya first try! Giving off a confident look as I step inside, and look around at all this delicious food. The cafeteria didn’t even look like a cafeteria. Far too advanced, and fancy to even resemble such a thing. It was mostly red with curtains? Over the tables? Think of the most fancy restaurant you've ever been to times 100. Dishes separate to each region, and a dessert isle in the back, with a chocolate fountain. From delicious foods like Ozani, ikayaki, to the Alola dish, and the loco moco, unova style pizza, with ice cream that I think… Wait, is that really meat inside? I know unova loves their meat, but this is a literal obsession. I guess it’s safe to say that Salandit was from Unova. Or maybe he was tasting the very meaty culture. Anyway, back to the food. There’s Ratatouille, Crepes, fish and crisps. Shepherd’s pie, fried chicken, curry, Ricci Di Mare, Funghi porcini. Murr~ So much more. But, why describe it when I can just eat it? Let’s eat! Grabbing a plate, and gathering as much I could put into one plate. Funnily enough, none of the chefs questioned how much I was getting. In fact they were all looking at me like. “Pick me! Pick me!” “Try mine! Mine!” “Just one more?” It was a lot to take in, while I made my way over to the seats. An Aerodactyl walks by, looking down at me “Of course the fatass has a full plate, hahah!” Whatev- “Oi! Pick ‘em someon’ your own ‘ize!” Herring, someone behind me with a strong British accent comes in from behind. Seeing a padded Cubone who waddled his way over to me. He had a hot pink diaper, so he’s a freshman like me. I wasn't crazy tall to begin with, but this Cubone was definitely a short one. But that didn’t bother him in the slightest. Looking up, and I think smiling at me, it's hard to tell because the skull mask he wore covers a lot of his face. He then walks over to the Aerodactyl tapping on his butt for him to turn round and face him. As soon as he turns around to see who tapped him his foot is immediately stomped on causing him to lean forward, and the Cubone grabs him by his head so that he can force eye contact. “ill be respectful to o’hers around you ‘ere. Got it?” “Fine, fine. Don’t make a mess in your diaper, baby. Maybe you should work on that speech of yours! Haha.” The Cubone let’s go of the Aerodactyl head. Once he was free of the grip he leans back up from him being crouched down to the Cubone’s level. Once enough of his diaper was seen the Cubone hits hard on Aerodactyl nuts “The ‘nly person in need of a diapee change is you. ‘Uck out my face!” The Aerodactyl crawls around wetting himself from the nutshot. Close to death? It didn’t even look like he hit that hard, what a lethal organ. The Cubone snaps his fingers to get me to follow as he makes his way over to a table. I sit right next to him and begin eating my food. “T’at looks quite good th’re mate.” “You’re not hungry?” “My food’s ‘ight ‘ere actually. I just couldn’t sit back an’ let someone act like that.” He begins to start eating with me. We eat, mostly in silence, until a Kabutops in a blue diaper makes his way over to our table. “You ok Jacob?” The Cubone looks to the side most likely to his name being called. “You pullin’ me? Ask the one next to aye.” I look around then back to them. “I’m fine” “If you say so kid, mind if I sit next to you?” I just nod at him then go back to eating. The Kabutops sits next to me, and rest his claws on the table. He didn’t get any food though. I’m sure he would've had a really hard time grabbing a plate. “The names’ Washington. But you can call me Wash. My pal right next to you is Jacob. I took him in when he was really young so, in a sense I’m like his father. Not going to lie. At first I had no idea what he was saying, but over time I got used to it.” “W’en I was ol’ enough he brought ‘ere.” “Ya, Because I raised him I knew about his powers early on. But, it seems Jacob here went out of his way to help you. I think he likes you!” Wash gives off a smug look, while Jacob and I both look the opposite direction, blushing a lot. “Haha I’m just messing! It’s in Jacob’s nature to always help those in need although-” “Ok tha’s enough!” “Fine! Fine haha.” After we finished eating we talked for a bit, while Wash tried to pick up our plates. But, it was obvious those claws of his were causing him some trouble. Luckily one of the workers came by and saw Wash’s struggle. “H-here I can help out with that.” Wash, with the help of that worker, went to put our plates away. “Say. I n’ver got your name. It’s rude to leave mons waitin’.” “Shuto” “Shuto huh. Kanto?” I nod “I figured. But Wash is ‘ight I do like you. Can we exchange contact info?” Wash gives off another smug look “I just got back, and you already got his number? Oh wow, look at you.” The both of us blushing even harder this time then the last. “N-no it’s not what it looks like.” “I’m ‘eep contact. So that we can keep in touch. If anyone tries to ‘urt you, Shuto I’ll be there in a heartbeat.” Wash claps his claws together and looks up in an exaggerated way. “Awww true love.” “Shut yer trap, Wash! We’re ‘ucking friends. ‘Ave a good day, Shuto.” Welp. I now got someone's phone number, I guess. Huh. A lot of time has passed already, hasn’t it? I made a promise to the conductor awhile ago plus I’m stuffed, and could use a nap. I head my way over to the bus stop. Sure enough the conductor makes his stop over to me. I hop on the bus, and is met with the Conductor’s greeting face. “Aaah, Shuto. You made it.” I shrug. “It’s either that or I walk back…” “Ha! You’re not wrong. Go on and take a seat.” Heading over to the seat I sat in earlier today. The bus starts to move again. There’s no other pokemon riding the bus. Other than me, and what looks like the same Salandit from earlier. He was sitting near the back, so I didn’t pay too much mind to him. We drive in silence for a bit before the Conductor starts to speak. “Y’know, you’re quite the strange one. Most other first years usually have some sort of thing they have trouble with. It’s why you tend to see them with other first years, or maybe a second year. But, that’s not something the academy actively tries to do. So you could have students spend most of their year alone and confused… The thing with you is, you came to this academy already with someone in mind.” I gave no reaction. I didn’t want to give him any hint that I relied on anyone. But I do wonder what point he’s trying to make. He continues. “And with probably the worst choice ever, hahah! I really thought I was going to have a real tough one to help out. But, you’ve been handling it pretty well… That is until I saw ya without Hector.” I stare out the window as the Conductor talks. Maybe he could feel my slight change in demeanor. Does Hector really effect me that much? I sigh, getting a little tired of this talk. “Why do you care?” “Because I know no one else will. I’m the type of guy where if I see something wrong, I go straight to seeing how I can make it better. Suuure sometimes it leads to a little yelling. There are some folk who don’t know how to follow rules.” The Conductor looks at the back for a second. He stares right at the Salandit, then back on the road. “But they know I give lots of tough love. But, alright. Time to stop beating around the bush. I know Hector is quite the uhh… Affectionate guy. So he wouldn’t leave someone behind unless it's for a very good reason…” I wasn’t looking at his face, but I can tell the Conductor was giving a very intimidating look. “You didn’t do anything bad to him, did ya?” “No.” Something in me just had to answer. Sure, I don’t want to show any weaknesses. But, I don’t want others to think I did something wrong to someone else… Not to someone I care deeply for. There was a small silence before the Conductor starts laughing. “Of course, of course. Sorry about that, bud. Just had to make sure. I’m not that scary all of the time, honest. But, I can tell you still have a lot on your mind, so I’ll say this. If you wanna have another chance to talk like this, let me know. I don’t feel the academy really looks out for the specific students. Only all of the high profile, high achieving ones. That’s why I try to take care of the little guys. It does sometimes leads to still doing a lot for someone who, let’s say, is a second year. And they just haaaappen to forget their diaper while going out… But, that’s a long story. I’m sure you’re already tired of this old man yapping your ear off.” I felt my bond grow stronger with The Conductor. The rest of the ride was mostly in silence, until I reached my stop. I got up and started to walk out, but The Conductor taps my shoulder. “Don’t forget, alright? I’m always watching.” I nodded and he gave out a genuine smile. I fully hopped off the bus, then see the Salandit walk up to the bus doors. “Maaaaan. I want deep talks like that.” The Conductor gives the Salandit a very unamused look. “I already did, Kevin. Now, go and clean my bus. We got aaaaall day.” The Salandit groans, while the bus doors close, and it drives off. I guess that Salandit couldn’t do one job. I almost feel bad for him. Haha almost. Heading up front I opened up to the dorm, only to see that all the lights were off, and pitch dark. While I was inside I was expecting something to jump out at me, but that never came. Only silence and darkness, all alone with not a single person in sight. I could just go to sleep but... Here all alone? .. .. .. I’m not even tired. But I should try to see if anyone is here. Even though I didn’t want to admit it, I was pretty afraid to mess with the light switch, or really look too far, only really deciding to back out of it. Ya remind me to get Hector’s number. .. I left the dorm room… .. .. I waited by the bus stop. Not expecting for the bus to show up, or if it did it’d probably be a bit later from how dark it was. Why is it that things we’re naturally used to makes you uncomfortable in the dark or with the lights off? Absolutely no changes, or anything. But then it’s dark, and next thing you know your stomachs are tying knots. But funny enough the bus came within seconds. Even with that troublesome Salandit still inside it. “Couldn’t have enough of me, huh?” Maybe my emotions slipped somewhere with my tough act, or really from him having a lot of experience. He somehow was just able to know. “Sit in the seat right behind. It’ll be ok, bud.” Stepping inside, and getting into the seat behind him. There was a rush of emotions I was feeling, but I couldn’t understand. Where is everyone? Why did today feel pretty lonely? And what’s the big deal? I spend most of my life either alone, or with my mother. But, I didn’t try to bother her much, so I was usually alone. What's the deal? Was I getting that experience of not being alone? Did I enjoy it so much that I, Shuto, Just wanted more of it? That I really want more of it, possibly feel weird without it? “Shuto! Alrighty chump. I know something’s on your mind now. you’ve got some spailin’ to do.” I must’ve been in deep in thought again huh? And of course, this guy picked up on it. Yare yare daze. “Where did everyone go?” “Huh? What cha mean by that?” I don’t really say anything, choosing not to elaborate, or go any further. This was all such a pain as is. I suppose something about my expression gave him a clue to what I meant. “Oh, I see. Your dorm’s empty still? Maybe Hector’s studying late, or… Haha, as if. It’s more likely that he messed up so badly, that they kept him in late.” “This late?” “Well, ya. Depending on the teacher you could end up staying in with them all night. And unfortunately, your boyfriend is usually pretty unlucky. Josh is probably there to make sure that Hector doesn’t come alone in the dark.” That Salandit was cleaning under my seat when he spoke up. “Oh yeah! I’ve done tons of things late at night to make up for stuff. This place can be real harsh on ya.” The Conductor glares at the Salandit. “It’ll be even more harsh if you don’t quit yappin and get back to cleaning!” “Y-yes sir!” He gets back to cleaning at a quicker pace, and the Conductor looks back to me. “Ahem, anyway. They probably didn’t inform you because you look like a tough cookie, so they thought you’d be fine on your own. But don’t worry I’ll keep you company.” “Thanks but do you have any suggestions I could go to?” “Have you tried Tony’s or karaoke?” Haha.. Wait, was he being serious? “Haha! I know that look, but karaoke really helps you sing your heart out, or pokemons next to you singing can just give off an overall genuine nice feeling. A lot can be conveyed through music alone, it’s honestly like its own language.” “I guess I can try it.” “Oh, good. Heh. Because I was going to make you try regardless if you wanted to or not. I’ll drop you off at Tony’s. Make some friends for me there alright? Though you seem closed off, so maybe that’s not really your thing. But, you did came to me with the intent of not feeling alone. So, I want you to use this night to make things feel less lonely, okay? But, that’s all up to you. I’m not going to hold your hand, or well, claw. When you get off this bus. Really enjoy this moment, and use it as an opportunity to feel less lonely. And, whenever you feel lonely from no one being around the dorm again, you’ll know exactly what to do at night. You’re tough kid. Explore to your heart's content, while you have this opportunity to yourself. Then come back to me whenever you're ready to go home.” The bus comes to a stop from us being outside the destination. As I sat up, I stopped in place, but sorta looked over to the conductor. “Thanks.” “No problem, Shuto. I always help the ones in need.” The Salandit yells out off screen. “What about meeeeee?” “I told ya! After you finish cleaning, we’ll go get more of those meat ice creams.” “Yaaaay!” Getting off the bus, and making my way to Tony’s. Helping those in need huh? If I got ahold of Jacob, would he go out of his way to come over to me, even though it’s this dark outside? I mean if he did he probably wouldn’t be too excited about it. But also, the thought of Jacob singing... Ya... Moving on. When inside… Huh. This looks sorta like a bar. There was a Typhlosion that sat at the register, waiting for any customer to come in. He wore a white diaper, though I’m not surprised. He’s a staff member, he does work here after all. I don’t think they have jobs for the students ya? Since it’s all free in such, but I digress. “Welcome! I’m Tony! This is a Bar industry that my little brother, and I own.” I look around to see if there was a younger Typhlosion roaming around somewhere. “Haha! You probably won’t see him today. He's a Quilava that’s mostly a stuck up that simps hard over... Actually I shouldn’t talk about kekeke. Feel free to browse the menu, and see what’s good for you.” Looking through the menu options, the one that really stood out for me was the grilled Tepig sandwich. Ya, let’s go with that. “Tepig sandwich” “Haha! Good choice, That one’s very popular y’know? Find a seat I’ll get to making it. Can I have a name?” “Shuto” “You got it! This shouldn’t take too long since there isn’t a lot of mons here at the moment.” I’m sure there was more he said but I didn’t listen. This guy is cool, I guess. But, he rambles on for way too long. As I sat down I looked at my phone, turning it on just to see that my last open was when I had it at my contacts. ya, I’ll admit. Laugh and call me dated, but I don’t use these things much. But, I lingered on my contact info and saw Jacob’s name there. Should I text him? I then begin to think on The Conductor’s words for a bit. Maybe I should talk to him. *Aye uh.. This is Shuto. I’m not busy today, and I’m sorta alone today. Maybe you want to meet up with me? I’m at Tony’s. I’m going eat something small and karaoke.* Before I could even put my phone in my diaper pocket, it vibrates. *Sure mate I’ll meet up with you at karaoke with dad…… (beep new message) .. I’m still kinda full from earlier.* For now I’ll be alone, but I won’t later. That's actually really nice to hear. “Order for Shuto.” Sweet. I am pretty hungry, so I excitedly make my way over without showing it, and take my food back to the table, eating the fries first. The thing about fries is they only taste good when they're hot, or warm, but preferably hot. But, they don’t taste good when they're cold, and if you try to warm them up they usually taste worse, while your other meal you can. So I go out of my way to eat fries first. After finishing the fries I dig into the Tepig sandwich. It tasted so good! I kept eating and eating, enjoying every bite. Until I looked up, and saw a Tepig watching me eat across from me, two seats away from me, in horror. Which immediately made me feel terrible. He had dark gray eyes, like the solva (Soul- v-ah) moon. And had wore a pink diaper. Honestly I would be terrified if I saw someone eating a bulbasaur sandwich, or pizza. But, who would eat a bulbasaur? Haha. Still, some mons aren’t so lucky. But, aye. Mons do love their meat, right? How convenient that one of the few mons in here just so happens to be a Tepig. “I’ll take this to go.” A Bagon walks up from behind. “Don’t mind him, you're free to eat whatever you want. The names’ Cal by the way.” “Do you know where karaoke is?” “Of course! Ya, I can show you, man. Follow me.” He wore an orange diaper, and seemed pretty chill. Orange, huh? He must have quite the experience. “Don’t sweat it, man. I get it. When I was a freshman, I was mostly alone, and was very, very unfamiliar, and got lost quite often.” I followed him out the door, and made our way over. He continued on. “So, how are you liking the academy so far?” “It’s cool, I guess.” “You guess? No wonder you look so down. You need to find the most amazing thing about this place. And let me tell ya, we’re getting mighty close to that.” We eventually reach the building, and I see Wash waving his claws at me. “Shuto, there you are! Did you get lost haha? Oh? Is this your boyfriend? I know someone who would be quite sad to see that.” Wash tugs around at Jacob’s shoulder, giggling the whole time. While Jacob stared back, looking annoyed. It did feel bad that they thought I was Cal’s boyfriend and not Hector’s… Even if I wouldn’t admit it in front of them. I’d still rather have this situation with him… But he’s not here at the moment… Gah! No. It’s not their fault. They probably don’t even know Hector. I just need to try to find some enjoyment in this. I just shake my head, and correct them. “No. He’s not.” “Oh that's a relief.” Even though Jacob remained quiet the whole time, he did feel relieved to hear this random dude wasn’t my boyfriend. Does he have feelings for me? This made me more hesitant to tell them I’m dating Hector. I didn’t want to hurt him.. .. Not right now. Cal chimes in. “Hey. Are you guys cool with me joining you?” Wash looks over to Cal and smiles. “Oh, sure. Probably shouldn’t be around Jacob since he probably-” “Shut it!” “Fine fine. Haha.” As we made our way inside, Wash was getting us all registered, and Jacob actually spent the time right next to me, like in a way he was looking over me, somehow. Even though I was twice his size, but also though it really just felt like he wanted to hold my hand. But, was hesitant to ask, or make a move. And honestly, that was fine. If he asked I would’ve said no anyways. Regardless if I’m dating someone or not. But even still. I’m very loyal to the ones I care about. Once we made our way to the room, it was indeed quite a cozy, warm atmosphere. And very comfy seats. We all took our seats and got comfortable, while Cal and Wash got things set up, and Jacob sat next to me, quite happy. I don’t typically care if pokemon talk, or not. Because, to be honest, less is better. It was odd how little Jacob was talking since we met up. Maybe he’s really taking in the moment? “Alrighty who wants to go first? you youngins? Everyone’s getting involved, including you Shuto, haha.” hmph.. Cal looking unamused at Wash “Youngins? I’m literally a grade lower. But I can go first.” He took the mic and began to sing. Not bad. But, I shouldn’t judge, because I have to sing in a bit. “Who's next? The night’s still young! Jacob! You can use this opportunity to impress your crush, and make good use of your small body before you evolve into a Marowak.” Jacob blushes, looking over at me for approval. But, I just look in the opposite direction, not blushing or showing anything really. I’m seriously not interested. “Dad ‘hat’s liter’ly the games. Pokemon don’ evolve. I was born this way and die this way.” “I know, I know. Let me have fun, haha.” We rotated around with someone going one after another. With Wash thinking he sounded really… Uh… Good. Or he just didn’t care and was really into the moment. Jacob went a few times and he wasn’t that bad... As long as he didn’t do a song that did high notes. How could a small guy have such a deeep voice? I think Jacob is stalling though? I do have to sing at some point, and I really don’t look forward to it one bit. Eventually the mic does get sent to me. As I sang, my voice started to become more feminine, easily able to hit high notes. I had my eyes shut because I couldn’t bare to watch them look at me ruin my image. I tried to ignore everything around me, only noticing the flow of the music around me. I know I was blushing hard, but I made myself become one with the music. Till eventually I did break out of it, and saw them staring at me in shock. “I’m sorry. I’m not really...” I couldn’t finish my sentence as I just walked out on them “Shuto wait! You sounded ‘masin!” Jacob looked up at me with a very concerned look. Not of me, but more of the thought that he didn’t want to see me hurt. “I’m... Okay. I’m not really that good and there s-so many people that are better than me, and can reach higher notes than me. Besides Shuto, a singer? What a joke. None of you guys saw that coming, and I’m sure I ruined whatever image you guys-” “Enough.. I don’ care what o’her pokemons do or how they think of you. Why does it mat’er? They aren’t you therefore they don’t decide yer’ actions. And to be honest it did throw me off... You, singing” Jacob looks away, blushing really hard “But, honestly. It made me enjoy you even more than before... You’re somethin else, Shuto and I like you for you being you.” “That’s cool, I guess. But I’m good for today. You guys can keep going.” “Can I at the very least escort you home?” Jacob, I know he means well, and he’s such a sweet boy. But, I'm really not interested in him. But would have things been different if I wasn’t dating Hector? Though he was the very reason why I’m even in this academy, he deserves his utmost respect. But, still… Jacob did save me, and protect me. And, I also texted him so at the very least I do sorta owe him. “Sigh, Sure.” “T’anks you mate. You won’t reg’et it.” He waddles his way out the door with me following not too far from behind. At the bus stop, The Conductor arries in excitement seeing me with someone else. “Aye, I knew you could do it. Hop in” As we both hoped inside the bus was actually empty, and I turned over to The Conductor “What? I couldn’t keep him in here forever, y’know, haha. He’s enjoying some nice meaty ice cream… I never understood that flavor.” “Me neither.” As we sat down I rested my eyes for a bit. And of course, Jacob used this as an opportunity to let me rest on him, while he softly rubbed my scales. He looked out the window from this long bus ride home, or over to my academy. “I love you, Shuto.” He whispers to me very quietly, my ears picked up on it, but I choose to say nothing, forcing myself to wake up and move a little further away on the seat. “I’m not looking.” A sad look filled his eyes. He even looked like he wanted to cry, but he tried to play it cool. “No worries… … I understan’ mate.” The rest of the ride was mostly quiet, until we reached my dorm. I make my way out, not saying anything from behind. “Mr. Conductor..Sir to be ‘onest my heart yearns for someone. How do could I win him ‘ver?” “I’m afraid that heart you cannot take for it yearns for someone else and only someone else. Haha! Hector really chose a good one.” “Hector who?” “Uhhhhh where’s your stop. We’ll take a detour. I know you're probably really upset, and have lots on your mind. So let’s talk about it.” As I made my way over to the dorm the door opens with Hector coming out with his arms open. I’m not good at running, but for whatever reason seeing Hector again just made my body take over I guess putting all my weight onto poor Hector “Guh! S-Shuto! Aloha! I was worried about my lil marshmallow dearly, but who would’ve guessed that you were far more, haha!” Loud and obnoxious as usual, but to be honest I missed it, and I so badly missed Hector. “Come inside so you don’t catch a ahhh ahhhcho! Ya that.” As we made our way up to the room, I started to eat what’s inside my leftover to go box. “Oh Rawr~ I was just about to ask where you’ve been. But, that’s a tepig sandwich from Tony’s. So whatever activities you did must’ve been from there. It would've been quite interesting if you did karaoke, or something. like, you don’t seem like the type to do that. But man, I bet that would've been a treat to see. Cutie, Shuto singing on stage~” If only he knew. I don’t really say anything as Hector tries to guess where I went to. I don’t shake my head or nod yes or anything just nothing. I was just glad to be in his arms again. “Alrighty keep all your secrets I’ll find out sooner or later. Rawr~ Not actually. I don’t care. As long as you had fun and are safe.” My phone begins to buzz, making me open it to see it’s a call from Jacob. “Sigh” I answer it, putting my phone up to my ear. “Ya?” “Shuto.. Sorry ‘bout earlier I’m sure it made you very uncomfor’able, and I’m ‘eally sorry ‘bout that. Even if you weren't taken, ya the conductor told me you were, but not to who and that’s ok. That’s not my business. But we did jus’ met and I do deeply ‘pologise I do love you, but I know you don’t feel the same way, and that’s ok. But I really did enjoy earlier. And thanks for just allowing me to have fun again. If you ever want to do somethin’ at night hit me up mate I’d love too. And I will just treat it like us as f’iends and nothing more, I'll talk to my dad about too, but thank you mate really.” “Of course.” “See ya” Hector’s eyes sparkle from the thought of me making a friend, but I roll my eyes expecting him to comment about it. “But that reminds me, can I get your cell number Shuto? I don’t want a repeat of today, with me being terrified of something happening to you, haha. Not my little nutcracker. But this is quite embarrassing. I should’ve done this sooner, but, can you really blame me? A lot has happened, some things just kinda slipped.” “It’s ok” “Right, right. Rawr, rawr~ diaper check!” Hector checks out my front but doesn’t linger too long to make me uncomfortable, then looks to my back side for a bit just admiring it. Before he uses his claw and pokes my butt. “Aye! Watch it.” “Sorry I got lost in the cake isle, heh. But, look at you! All clean! I would say that’s a good thing, but that means you've been holding it in all day. Don’t do that. It’s not healthy. Let it out then I'll change you afterwards.” Getting out of bed I stand next to him and squint my eyes as I began to pee in my diaper making it extremely puff. Tho it’s probably puffy in the back from the buffet I had earlier. “Rawr~ good boy”
