James x Reader {Pokemon}

Chapter One {Nightmares}

------
A/N: Sorry if James is out of character. I find it kinda hard to "RP" (idk what to call it) as him and he has to be a little different to be as fluffy as I want it to. And I know a Darkrai isn't... Y'know, but for the sake of the story, you have one.

Your POV
------
"Goodnight," you called into Jessie's room. It was midnight, and finally Team Rocket was going to sleep. It had been another long, unsuccessful day. You peeked into James' room. He was already asleep, so you didn't say anything. However, you did carefully put his blanket around him and tucked him in; he must have fallen asleep quickly. Well, today had been tough. Ash, Misty and Brock were still successful in keeping Pikachu safe. Jessie, Meowth and James had tried to capture the small Pokemon for what had to be the fiftieth time, and it didn't go exactly as planned. You had helped though, and basically, if Ash hadn't been so smart, Team Rocket would have gotten Pikachu. You were new to the team, but you didn't really care to remember every detail of how and why you joined. Anyway, you'd been with them for a year, so you three (and your Pokemon) were quite close, and you weren't exactly new, but still.
"Goodnight (Y/N)," Jessie called quietly. "Oh, James is already asleep? Anyhow, sleep well!~"
"You too, Jess," you replied. You yawned and left James' room. You stumbled off to your own room. You weren't very tired however, and decided to stay up with your Pokemon. One of your most prizes Pokemon was your Darkrai. It usually stayed out of its Pokeball though, as it liked to roam. You released your Poochyena and played with him on your bed.
"Hmm, are you tired? I'm not, but everyone else is asleep," you asked the small canine Pokemon.
"Pooch!" it replied.
"Yea."
You decided to find your Darkrai. Sometimes he hid around the house as a shadow, messing with everyone.
"Darkrai?" you whisper-called, quietly but quickly moving around the dark house.
"Darkrai!" you heard.
"Darkrai, come on, its time to go back in your Pokeball. You've been wandering all day! I hope you haven't caused any nightmares."
It paused. "Dark.." it said.
"Darkrai!!" you replied with a sigh. At least your Darkrai didn't cause endless nightmares. It was bad dreams for the night, then the person would wake up. The Dark-type Pokemon had harnessed and could control the intensity of its signature move. Not only was Darkrai rare, it could do this, which is why you'd captured it.
"Hmph. Well, come on."
It followed you to your room, and you decided it was time for your Pokemon to rest.
"Darkrai, return," you said, taking out its Pokeball and putting it back inside. You also took Poochyena's Pokeball.
"Poochyena, return." The Pokemon were back inside their Pokeballs, and you decided to get some rest yourself. Walking over to your dresser, you pulled out a (f/c) T-shirt and shorts, changed into them, then laid down on your bed and sighed. You closed your eyes, but just as you were falling asleep, you heard a quiet knock on your door. You sleepily got up and opened it.
"James...? Is something wrong?"
"Uh.."
James was standing outside your door, looking uncomfortable.
"I had a nightmare," he said softly, rubbing his arm. "I know Jessie doesn't want her 'beauty sleep' interrupted and I figured you were still awake... Can I hang out with you?" he asked, a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Of course," you said with a smile, allowing him in. "I think you should change though. That uniform can't be comfortable to sleep in."
"You're right," he replied, running off and changing into a black T-shirt and long fuzzy pajama pants. You giggled a little at the kitten design of the pants, making him blush.
"My kitten pants are amazing," he said.
"They're 'different', for sure."

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

James' POV
------
The nightmare still had the hair on the back of his neck on end, and he nervously sat on the end of (Y/N)'s bed.
"What do you wanna talk about?" you asked.
"I don't care, as long as it takes my mind off of that nightmare..." he said quietly.
"Would you mind telling me about the dream?"
"Well... It started when we were trying to catch Pikachu, but..." he whimpered and shoved a pillow over his face.
"It's okay," you said softly, pulling him into a hug without thinking. "I don't want you to have to remember it."
He just sighed and put the pillow down.
"I'm probably just overreacting about all of this," James said softly. "I'm sorry I woke you up."
"If it scared you, don't be sorry!" you said, still hugging him. He smiled a little.
"I suppose I should go back to my room..."
"Its fine if you want to stay," you found yourself saying.
"Really..?" he asked. You nodded cheerfully and released him from the hug. He laid down, yawned and cuddled into your pillow. It was quite adorable you had to admit, and you flopped down next to him. It wasn't long before he had fallen asleep again, and you did too.

Forget what we're told

Show me a garden that's bursting into life
