Bring Back My Light (SPM Pokéhuman AU!!!)

You and Me (8)

Mr.L and Dimentio both sat on the floor to his room, an hour having blazed by already. The entire floor seemed to have been covered in sheets and pillows, all of the furniture pushed away to the far walls of the room.

"Where did you even get all these blankets?" Mr.L questioned, looking around and gawking at the room that had been transformed into a makeshift nursery.

"I took off everything from my bed and used every spare pillow and sheet I could find," Dimentio stated, hugging the egg, "I went right to work as soon as I could walk again, ah ha ha."

Mr.L looked around, avoiding looking at him as an awkwardness seemed to settle on the Pokémon in green. As a few moments passed, Mr.L turned his attention back towards Dimentio.

"So, Dim, what would we name him or her?" Mr.L asked.

"Them," Dimentio said.

"Huh?" Mr.L questioned.

"They're twins..." Dimentio smiled, rubbing his cheek against the egg.

Mr.L went wide-eyed.

"Wait, WHAT!? H-how can you even tell that?!" Mr.L exclaimed.

"The same way I can tell who's standing in a room with me. I can see a person's spirit within their body." Dimentio stated so matter of factly, "I don't have eye holes cut out of my hood, how else would I see where I'm going? I'm a Ghost-type."

Mr.L had nothing to say in response to that and simply shut his mouth, leaning back and looking down at the floor.

"So, what should we name the two of them, then..?" Mr.L warily asked.

Dimentio hummed as he looked down at the egg.

"For boy names..... Possibly either Simon or even Dave?" Dimentio offered, "And on the possibility of them being a girl..."

Dimentio trailed off as the two of them thought.

"Ooh!" Mr.L started, "What about Isabelle or Luna?

Dimentio smiled and then nodded.

"They all sound like excellent names." Dimentio chuckled.

Mr.L watched in confusion as Dimentio hugged the egg gently.

"Okay, what's going on with you?" Mr.L questioned.

"Hm?" Dimentio hummed in response, looking up at him.

"You're acting weirder than normal." Mr.L stated, "No offense, but you don't exactly strike me as someone who would want to be a parent. When I first came to Castle Bleck, I honestly thought that you would've murdered me in my sleep. Honestly, I wasn't very far off."

Dimentio frowned in response, tilting his head down to the floor.

"I just... Don't have anything left, you know? The entire drive I had for going on shattered like the crystal itself." Dimentio replied.

He paused and took a deep breath, placing a hand on top of the egg.

"Since I could remember, I've been on my own. I don't remember my parents, I don't remember having any family, I don't remember having any friends, I don't even remember if I was another Pokémon before becoming a Mimikyu." Dimentio said, "There's a lot of things that I didn't have... and... I just don't want someone else to go through it."

Mr.L watched him as he remained still, hugging the egg close to his chest. Dimentio chuckled a little and shook his head.

"It's fine. I know that I probably sound ludicrous, ah ha ha." Dimentio laughed, "I'm done trying to fight back against every world that wants me dead..."

He paused and took a shaky breath.

"But the mere thought that they could end up like me... I-I just don't like it." Dimentio stated, "I don't want to put them through what I had to go through or take away their right to even have that opportunity."

Dimentio looked back up at Mr.L.

"It's fine if you don't share my ideal with me." Dimentio said, "I won't force you to stick around..."

Mr.L sighed and shook his head, standing up with a smile on his face.

"Heh, I don't plan on bouncing any time soon, Dim." Mr.L replied, "Besides, I at least owe it to you on account of shattering your light."

Dimentio shook his head and looked down at the egg in his hands.

"I don't want you sticking around just because you think you're forced to." Dimentio spat, "If you're pretending to like me just because you're obligated to, you're just setting me up for heartbreak."

Mr.L stood shocked, slightly taken aback that he would suggest such a thing.

"Dim, I'm not just pretending! How could you say something like that?" Mr.L questioned.

Dimentio looked back up at Mr.L as he sat back down in front of him.

"After about five years of being stuck with no one except you, you kinda become hard to live without." Mr.L stated with a smile.

Dimentio flushed a deep red and shook his head as he fought back a smile.

"Y-you're just saying that..." Dimentio chuckled.

Mr.L laughed as he pulled himself up next to Dimentio.

"You wish! I'm not leaving you here on your own. It's just you and me..." Mr.L paused and placed a hand on the egg, "And our twins."

Dimentio smiled softly and then leaned against Mr.L with a sigh, looking down at the egg in his lap.

"I hope they like me..." Dimentio paused and then frowned, "Wait, what if they end up looking like me?!"

"Dim... You don't need to panic about that..." Mr.L told him.

"B-but I do! I don't want to curse our children with my horrid complexion!!!" Dimentio cried.

Mr.L chuckled and shook his head.

"Come on, using bigger words isn't going to change my answer." Mr.L replied, "I promise you that I will love you and our twins no matter WHAT you look like."

Dimentio turned to look at him with a small smirk.

"Promise..?" Dimentio asked.

"Heh, you know I don't need to say it. Of course, I promise." Mr.L said, giving Dimentio a side hug.

Dimentio smiled in contentment and leaned into the hug, sighing happily as he did. They both remained silent for a moment before Dimentio's expression went blank, which Mr.L quickly noticed.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Mr.L questioned.

"You know... I think that is the first time you've actually told me that you love me..." Dimentio murmured.

Mr.L paused for a moment and Dimentio chuckled.

"It's alright, L... I didn't mean it as a bad thing..." Dimentio smiled, "I... I love you too, L."

He smirked a little, shaking his head.

"It only took us both five years trapped in stasis to say it, eh?" Dimentio chuckled.

Mr.L laughed back, nuzzling into his neck.

"Too long, in my opinion." Mr.L replied, "Heh, you know, awkwardly enough, don't you think we should tie the knot if we're going to-?"

Mr.L stopped abruptly as Dimentio pecked him on the lips. Mr.L became flustered immediately as Dimentio pulled back with a soft smile.

"Say no more. You wouldn't want to ruin the surprise for when you propose, would you~?" Dimentio asked with a wink.

Mr.L could only smile in response, red in the face and unable to form words as easily.

"Y-yeah, d-definitely..." Mr.L replied, "I-I'll go get some food really quick, you must be starved."

Mr.L quickly got up and rushed out to get food as Dimentio laughed, hugging his egg.

"Ah... Never would've thought this is what would happen when my plans went up in flames, ah-ha." Dimentio chuckled.
