Umbreon X Espeon - The Sun & Moon (OLD)

Awkward Confessions

(Enjoy!!! Cute stuff finally happening, now excuse me while I go explode into a million pieces!)

(Espeon's Point of View)

I slept through most of the day, well, until the quiet and nervous voice of a certain dark type sounded through the living room.

"Erm, uh, I don't want t-to be a bother..." Umbreon looked at his feet, shuffling them awkwardly and tilting back his long black and yellow ears. "but I would like to t-talk to you Espeon."

I huffed in anger and looked away. "Well, I can tell you right now, that I'm not interested in anything you want to say to me." I frowned, laying down on the soft couch cushions and resting my chin on my front paws.

"L-listen, I just wanna talk... I promise you won't regret it." Umbreon said softly, leaping onto the couch beside me. "Please listen to me." I growled at him quietly, turning to face away from him and laying back down on my earlier position. "Espeon... I just w-wanted to tell you how sorry I am. I shouldn't have said those things..." Umbreon admitted in a hushed and sympathetic voice. "I didn't mean to sound rude... Or uninterested."

My eyes darted open and I scattered up to my feet. "What do you mean?"

"By what? Oh... That I didn't mean to sound uninterested... Well... I guess I uh..." Umbreon shuffled around awkwardly, his head lowered in embarrassment and his paw brought up to scratch his fore head shyly. "I guess I mean.. I sorta.. Am interested...?" His red eyes shifted upward to look at me with shy and quiet apology, a look I had never yet seen on the stuck up dark type, and a look I secretly found adorable.

"Am, Interested?" I looked at him curiously, insisting that he continue to more detail, and not hearing a response, I shook my head and blinked. "Not matter then... I guess... I suppose that your forgiven..." I spoke hesitantly, followed by a big bright smile from Umbreon.

"Erm, thanks, for forgiving me." Umbreon spoke awkwardly through his cheerful smile. I nodded and turned to look out the window, watching as Umbreon leaned his head over to look at me through the corner of my eye. "Um, i t-think y-you l-look very p-ret-" Umbreon spoke, his voice trailing off, getting quieter and quieter until it was unaudible.

I perked my ears up in surprise and looked over at him with wide eyes. "You, think, what now?" I said with a playful grin, which I struggled to compress as the red eyed Pokemon stared at his paws.

He gulped and glanced upwards, his pupils dashing back and forth like a fish swimming in a pool of red. "Um, I think, y-you look v-very pretty t-today, Espeon..." Umbreon forced an awkward half smile.

I looked back out the window to hide my pale purple face, looking past the outside world and watching the reflections of Umbreon and I. "Your just saying that." I smirked, glancing at the dark type through the corner of my eye.

Umbreon shook his head rapidly, flicking his tail in unison. "N-no! Of course not! I-I really do think that y-your pretty... Heh..." He trailed off again, rubbing his left front paw against the couch cushion. "I-I mean... Your eyes... They're really p-pretty too!"

"Oh, really, and why bring this up now?" I smiled, trying to hide my playful tone. "You fight with me, then apologize, and then call me pretty? Explain yourself, dark type."

"W-well... I just f- I mean... I just..." Umbreon stood up straight, causing me to turn and face him again. He gathered up his courage like a lion ready for battle, and stepped forward. He stared into my eyes with his handsome deep red, glowing orbs, watching me confidently as he spoke again. "L-listen Espeon... I'm just trying to say that..." He looked around awkwardly again, kicking at the ground with his hind leg and then focusing again on me after gathering his thoughts again. "I'm just trying to say that... I've sort of... Begun to... I don't know, like you I guess." Umbreon smiled lightly and shrugged his shoulders.
His confession struck me suddenly, even though I could suspect it from the moment he apologized. "I've sort of began to like you too, Blacky." I said casually, wiping my forehead with my right paw.

"Really?" Umbreon perked up and exclaimed, leaping up and closing his eyes happily. "Erm, I mean, awesome, Espeon... Heh." He grinned casually and sat back down, containing himself.

I rolled my eyes at his giddy behavior, and leaned in, crunching my nose against his playfully as a sort of 'sign of affection'. Umbreon smiled, giggled like a girl, and opened his eyes, his tail swishing back and forth and his ears tilting back.

I leaned back and calmly scratched my ear, avoiding eye contact from the smiling Umbreon in front of me, who, if he was a human, I assume would be blushing.

And both were unaware of the swirling bright eyes of Flareon, who watched from his spying spot with a soft smile on his fluffy orange face. "Finally." He spoke quietly, standing and turning his tiny paws to lead himself away from the pair silently, his tail swishing side to side peacefully.
