Milo x OC | Where I Belong | Pokémon Sword And Shield

Chapter 8

The sunlight was seeping in through the curtains of the room, I slowly started to stir awake. Shuffling a little, only then I froze, noticing another presence in my bed. 'Oh God, what happened last night...' slowly open my eyes, the blanket was being hogged by another person, thankfully I have my pj's on which was a gray oversized shirt and lime green basket ball shorts. I look over, and relief washed over me. Dawn is wrapped in the blanket. Only her face is popping out. Getting up slowly, not to wake up, Dawn.

Getting off the edge of my bed, Sonia was sleeping on my fluffy blue moon chair. Smiling to myself, it was a really comfy chair. Walking to the door, opening it carefully, not to wake anyone and close it behind me. I got to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair. Going downstairs to enter the kitchen to start prep for breakfast.  But first, I open the cabinet next to the fridge, grabbing a blue glass out, setting it down on the counter, opening the fridge grabbing tomato juice, pour myself a glass, my hangover hasn't gone full swing yet, but a glass tomato juice usually helps me. Grabbing a blue checkered apron off the kitchen wall, putting it on and tying it.

Lucario walks in from the outside. "Morning, Lucario. Willing to help me out?" I asked quietly, and he nodded, grabbing pots and pans to put on stove while I grabbed ingredients. I start preheating the oven and turn the burners. Getting the sausage to make patties, leaving some for gravy and a pack of maple flavored links. I have lucario stirring some biscuit mix and plopping them on a baking sheet. I was making a pancake mix with a dash of syrup, butter up the pan for them, and started the first set, then putting all the sausage in the deep skillet. Then Lucario put the biscuits in the oven after it preheated, then he was on pancake duty.

I was opening a package of bacon when I heard someone come in the kitchen. "G'mornin." Two voices spoke up, I look up and see Milo and Gordie walk in. "Good morning, guys. You can help yourself to the fridge. My glasses are in the cabinet next to the fridge." Gordie making a B line to the fridge after I said that. "Alright, thanks!" He pours him and Milo a drink. As I lay the bacon in a pan, it starts to sizzle and pop.

"Do you and Lucario need any help with anything?" Milo asked as Gordie handed him a glass of tomato juice. I thought about it for a moment. "Actually, I seem to be drawing a blank from last night after you joined in with Gordie and I doing shots. Do you two recall anything?" I asked. They both looked at each other and got really silent. "Okay, you two are giving me the 'who is gonna tell her' vibes."

Before either of them could speak, Leon and Raihan came in, and Raihan spoke. "Oh, are you asking about last night after you getting so sloshed you fell asleep?" I nodded and continued to make breakfast. "I'll tell ya."

(Flashback Raihans pov)

After reading all of the comments and replying to most of them on livestream, I look up to see Casslynn swaying, slowly closing her eyes. "Come....ooon. One mooore shot." She says, trying to keep her head up. Piers, the one who was pouring the shots, took her shot glass away. " Again, I said no, beside you all drank the whole bottle." He takes Milo's and Gordie's glasses as well. "Weellp, Casslynn. It'sa draw." Gordie slurred his words a little is probably the same amount of wasted she was, and patted Casslynn's back.

"Wooohooo! I... did... it..." *BAM* Her head smacks the table. "Oh shit, Casslynn, you alright?" Milo asked, nudging as he chuckling heavily. You can tell he's drunk because he normally doesn't chuckle this much, and his cheeks were flushed. "Mate.. she's out cold." He tells Gordie. "I'll take her to room." He was about to get up. "Noo, I'll take her to her room. You're so sloshed, Milo." He was gonna get as well. "I'm not slurring words together, mate, you are." Both of them went back forth like for a couple of minutes.

"Uh guys?" I said, interrupting them. "Maybe I should take her upstairs? I've only a few drinks." I mentioned. Before anyone could do anything, Lucario picked Casslynn up, surprisingly holding her with one arm, and started to walk to the door to go inside. He turned back around and beckoned everyone from our table to follow. Leon picked up Sonia. She was the first pass out. I picked up Dawn, who kept stumbling. He ended up showing everyone the rooms they could sleep in. Piers and the others went home.

(Back to present oc pov)

"Crud! I forgot to start the sausage gravy." I said but then realized what Raihan just said. "Wait, you mean..." Looking back at Milo and Gordie. They looked worried about something. "I lost our drinking game?" . . . They looked blankly at me. "I guess you could say that." Leon said, grabbing him and Raihan tomato juice. Thank goodness Mum bought a lot for me. She probably predicted this. Milo smiled his bright smile, and gordie seemed to sigh in relief.

I had Lucario start the gravy as I finished the bacon. The rest of our late night crew, being Dawn and Sonia. "Hey, welcome to the hangover party." I said jokingly. "Lucario has the gravy going, and it's the last thing to be done, and I can start doing the eggs for everyone." I pulled the biscuits out of the oven, placing them on dish next to the pancakes. I get another pan ready for the eggs.

"Alright, everyone, tell me how you want your eggs done." It was split between scrambled and over easy. I made the scrambled first, Sonia, Dawn, and Leon got their eggs and started eating in the dining room. I made over-easy for Raihan, Milo, Gordie, and for myself. I let Lucario do whatever he wants. "Help yourself Lucario, thank you for the help, and last night, too." He nodded and made himself a plate.

I put some of the food in a bento box for Nessa, Sonia let me know she would like scrambled eggs, and she will take them to her when she leaves. I grabbed my plate and went to the dining room, I sat between Dawn and Sonia. "How's everyone enjoying breakfast?" I asked. "It's amazing, like it gets better every time I take a bite of it." Dawn said happily, eating another bite, her free hand holding her cheek. Everyone agreed with her. "This is the best breakfast I ever had." Milo said, looking at me with a genuine smile. It's making me blush.

"I'm so glad I get to eat your food again. I might be tempted to eat Nessa's while I bring it to her." Sonia said, joking about the last bit. I started eating as well, and I was happy that I finally had food in my stomach. A moment went by, and suddenly Raihan spoke. "Oh man, Casslynn, your video of you singing is trending super fast!" He said. "Oh yeah? Maybe it'll get to 'him' faster then." I said, taking another bite of breakfast.

Dawn spoke up. "Casslynn, you might want to explain to everyone who 'he' is. You know that way nobody gets confused." I sighed. "Yeah, you're right." I look at everyone. "I was a relationship with someone in the Sinnoh Region. He was Pokémon Coordinator, his name is Malakai. Long story short, I didn't see the red flags that he was only using me to achieve more popularity." I just looked at what was left my food, as some memories flood back.

Before I started to relive it again, Sonia and Dawn put their hands on my shoulders, I gave them a half smile and took another bite of my food. "Don't ever blame yourself. He is the one at fault." Dawn reminded me. I looked at everyone around, giving me a reassuring smile. "Thanks, everyone."
