Chapter 34: Peace

\Vikk's POV/

"Hi Rob!" I chirped as I slid into his car. "Hey Vikk! Ready?" He asked. "Yeah. Thank God I decided not to make this huge, because I'm nervous with just you behind me." I admitted as we drive away from my house. "Nah, mate. You shouldn't be nervous, he's gonna say yes, cause you're his boyfriend! Duh." Rob assured, putting a hand on my shoulder. "You think?" "I know." He smiled, and we continued to Lachlan's house.

"You know how it's gonna work, yeah?" I asked as we pulled into Lachlan's driveway. "Yep. I've got dem flowers, they shall be delivered by the flower king." Rob gestured at himself. I don't know what it was, but he had some strange obsession with flowers. "Yessir. Wish me luck." I smiled nervously, and he lightly punched my shoulder. "You got this Vikk!" He cheered. I sighed and shut the door, then walked up Lachlan's front steps. I felt for the sphere in my hoodie pocket, then rang Lachlan's doorbell. Luckily, he answered. "Vikky!" He chirped and gave me a quick peck on the lips. "Hi Lachy!" I smiled and pulled him out onto the porch. "Whats up?" He asked. I pulled the ball out of my pocket and handed it to him. "Aw! A little Pokeball!" He gushed. He was so cute. "You've never lost your love for Pokemon after all these years!" I laughed, and he nodded. "Well, open it." I smiled. He gave me a confused look, but then smiled as he pressed the small black button that would unlock it. I glanced behind me quick and suddenly Rob was behind me, sneakily shoving the red, black, and white flowers into my hands. Then he ran to the deck chairs beside us and sat down, and somehow Lachlan didn't see. I turned back to Lachlan, who was reading the small paper is set inside the Pokeball. "I chose you?" He smiled shyly at me. "Turn it over." I grinned, and he did as I said. "Prom?" He asked, them looked up at me with a huge smile. "Lachlan Power, will you be my date to senior prom?" I asked, pulling the flowers from Behind my back. "Of course Vikky! I love you so much!" He threw his arms around me and lifted me off the ground. "Love you too, Lachy." I answered as he set me down. "Can you two be any cuter?" Rob asked, making Lachlan jump. "How long were you there?" Lachlan gave him a strange look. "Vikk didn't show up at your door with flowers, did he? The flower King strikes again!" He smiled as he lowered his phone. "Wait... Rob! Did you record that?" I exclaimed. "Heh... No..." Rob said, but I knew he totally did. "Little jag." I mumbled. "Love meh!" He stood and threw himself into both of us, but we quickly pushed him off. "You're just mad. Go find your own Prom date." Lachlan laughed. "Oh. I'm going with Preston." Rob answered casually. My jaw dropped, and Lachlan was glancing back and forth between us. "What?" I asked. "I'm going to prom with Preston. Just as friends ya know? Like because neither of us had real dates?" Rob said, and I frowned. Lachlan shook his head. "What?" Rob looked confused. "I was so looking forward to you two being a couple." I mumbled. "Open your eyes." I heard Lachlan complain, and I gave him a sideways glance. He shook his head at me with a small smirk. I'd ask him later, I thought.

Lachlan made me stay the night as his place, not that I minded. We were cuddled up in his bedroom, watching some random movie that he'd put on. Except, I was looking up at him, not the movie. His shiny blue eyes, and golden blonde hair, and gorgeous smile. Perfect. Eventually, he noticed my staring, and glanced down at me. "I love you Vikky." he said, kissing my head. "I love you too, Lachy." I answered, pulling myself up so I could kiss his lips. He pulled me closer to him and kept kissing me. Not rough and lustfully, but softly and gently, as if I would break. After a while he stopped, and I curled into his chest. "I'm tired Lachy." I said, and he started tracing circles on my back. "Go to sleep, baby. I'm right here." He answered. I wrapped my arms right around his waist and closed my eyes. Lachlan started whispering the words to some song, and those words were the last ones I heard before I was washed away by sleep.

I dont wanna fight no more, I only wanna get to shore, baby don't slam the door tonight. We ran another off the tracks, that's time we can't get back, we can save tomorrow if we try.
Oh, until we make this right. Oh, I won't say goodnight.

I just wanna make you laugh, I just wanna see that smile, babe we're only here for a little while. I just wanna hold you till we fall asleep, I want love, I want us, I want you, I want me, I want peace.

Everybody needs a place, somewhere that's warm and safe, for shelter from this crazy world we're in. But tonight I let the rain inside, I took away your place to hide, I'm sorry that I made you cry again. Oh, we can make this right. Oh, kiss me goodnight.

I just wanna make you laugh, I just wanna see that smile, babe we're only here for a little while. I just wanna hold you till we fall asleep, I want love, I want us, I want you, I want me, I want peace.

::A/N::
I was drawing a Pokeball on the mini-whiteboards we have in class, and I made the middle a heart and wrote 'I choose you' around it, thinking about my plan for this chapter. Then the kid next to me was like "What if you had a boyfriend or girlfriend who loved Pokemon and gave something like that to them." And I was like "YOU READ MY MIND DONT STEAL MY IDEAS!" He thought I was crazy. Lol. Anyway, love be you Rosebuds, and until next chapter, ~Rosie <3
