Arven x Reader: My Bread and butter (Lemon? Lime?)

Ch 6: Battles and Bonds

Mildly confused, but ever excited at the prospect of a new friend, I head off toward my dorm, trying not to smile to myself.

I open my door, and let dolly and nac out so he can show her around Nacli takes her over to his prized box first, where she happily sits.

My rotom phone slides up as a notification goes off, and hovers in front of my face. It's a text from Arven.

Hey, I heard you talking outside my room for a bit. What's all that about?

Oh, it was just a friend

Was it that dialogo guy?

You mean Giacomo? Yeah, Momo stopped by to give me his number

...You call him momo...AND HE GAVE YOU HIS NUMBER?

Not so much gave as forcibly entered it, but close enough, I thought.

Yeah, but it's not that big a deal dork

Right, yeah, sorry. I'm headed to bed, text me later.

Ofc Venny, sleep well <3

After all the events today, I'm exhausted physically and mentally... I pick up Nacli under my arm and hug dolly under my arm, placing them both on my bed. I get changed into pajamas, and lay down with the two.

I sleep like a baby, waking up to see dolly clambering toward the window to bask in the sun. Nacli is feeling extra sluggish, so he laid in bed, fittingly, like a rock.

I rub my eyes and waddle to my tiny kitchen. I make Torrijas, with the cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, and smoliv oil I had from the last two jaunts with arven. I mix it with egg and milk and cook it into the fresh Molette bread arven had specifically recommended.

I plate the food and set it on the counter. I open the fridge and grab a special poke food I had previously prepped, consisting of scrambled egg, raw prosciutto, baby spinach, white portobello mushrooms, and added some vitamin powders too just for good measure. I had always fed Nac this concoction, but it was time to watch on eagerly to see if dolly liked it as well.

I put a scoop into two bowls, setting both on the floor. Nac suddenly woke, flying off the bed as soon as the bowl hit the ground. Startled, smoliv jumped a little, coming down from the windowsill to see what had made Nacli react so strongly. As Nac gorged his food down effortlessly, smoliv looked on in confusion. She sniffed the concoction and turned away prissily.

It seems I forgot not all pokemon were meat-hungry gluttons like nacli. I look it up on my rotom phone, and realize all she really needs is sunlight and water. Now I'm really wishing I had paid attention during Jacq's Biology class instead of texting arven under my desk. I pour some water into the olive-like pit on her head, to which she hops in delight. Nacli gladly accepts smoliv's portion as well.

I check the clock and it's about time to head off for class. I get dressed, putting Nacli and Smoliv in their balls.

On the way to Miss. Dendra's battle study class, I text arven. I'm still on my phone when I walk out to the courtyard, suddenly bumping into someone.

"Okay, now I feel like you're doing it on purpose dude", Momo said, half joking.

"Oh fuck, sorry Momo. I had no clue we had battle study at the same time."

"No sweat little star, I'm excited to see your moves"

He tousles my hair and heads off toward Dendra.

"Little star?" I say to myself under my breath.

"Heya class!", Miss Dendra starts, "welcome to battle studies! Let's skip the wordy lectures and just get into it." She had long black hair, tied up to keep it out of her face. she wore a black tracksuit and had a beauty mark near her mouth.
