Metallic Bonding (Steven Stone x Reader)

Chapter 1

Steven Stone, the Hoenn Region's beloved Champion, rock enthusiast, stunning male specimen, silver-haired dreamboat, the kindest, most charming gentlemanly gentleman anyone could ever ask for............

Aaaaaaaaaaand, your boyfriend!!!

That's right, after several months of pining, you finally got Steven Stone to notice you. And what's more...you became friends! And eventually.......STARTED DATING!! :) So things, considerably, are pretty great. You two love each other very much and do stuff together all the time, and Steven is just so caring!

He even asked you to move in with him! Which like, duh, of course you'd say yes to that. His place is way nicer than the apartment building with the mean landlord you'd been living in prior.

Actually, speaking of Steven's house, that's where our story shall start! Onwards!

It's a fairly nice day to just be sitting inside, sprawled on the couch watching cartoons in your pyjamas like you are, but regardless, that's what you're doing.

Besides, your Torchic is cuddled in your lap in such a cute way it's impossible to get up. This is the one time she's not squawking or pecking everything, too, so it's probably a good idea to keep the peace for as long as possible.

Steven's house is spacious and neat, yet still cluttered at the same time. The walls are lined with bookshelves, which are packed with books, and there are cases with all sorts of cool stones all over the house. (he's told you about every single one multiple times)

You're about to press play on the next episode of The Noctowl House, but you hear the familiar sound of keys jingling in the doorknob.

Steven's home Steven's home Steven's home!!!!!

You quickly adjust yourself into a much more dignified sitting position, startling Torchic, and change the show to the news, where a lady named Gabby is talking about the weather.

Steven comes in, shutting the door behind him. "Hello, Y/N! I'm home!" He sets his briefcase down and comes over to you, giving you a quick kiss as a greeting. At Torchic's tiny squawk of fury, he gives her a little pat.

"How was work?" you ask, turning the TV off and giving him your full attention.

He sits down beside you with a long sigh. "Tiring. I only had one challenger today, but then I had so much Devon work to do that it didn't even matter."

Steven's a pretty busy guy. He's the Champion, which is by default the coolest job ever, but his dad owns a huge company in Hoenn which he thinks Steven will inherit.

"Have you told your dad you don't want to take over Devon?"

"No."

"Have you told him you're the Champion?"

"...No."

"Steven!" You give him a light shove, leaning against him.

"I know, I know." He changes the subject. "Would you like to go for a walk with me down in Lilycove?"

You take a glance out the window. A nice walk on a nice day with your nice boyfriend? Hell yeah.

You quickly run to your shared bedroom to change out of your pyjamas, then the two of you set off Skarmory's back.

It's a short flight from Mossdeep to Lilycove, and Steven lets you hold onto him the whole ride. The ocean spreads out below you, lapping against the beaches, and a couple Wingull fly alongside Skarmory.
