A Second Chance

Chapter 11

So, I was going to update immediately. I mean, it's Saturday! I've got time, music, an internet connection. . . Only my parents shut off our internet connection to make me spend more time with my little sister, which A) I was already doing without having to be asked, and B) that only served to make me grumpy: I wrote this chapter on Microsoft Word and copied it into Wattpad when the internet was turned back on. So really, they didn't do anything, except make it so I couldn't do my homework like I was planning to. In other words, I should thank them for making it so I got to have more time to write.

Yellow stirred, and tried to sit up, but found Lance in the way. He had wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Lance. . . " She muttered sleepily. She curled up against him, sighing happily, and pulled his arms tighter around herself.

Lance smiled. With her back to him, Yellow couldn't see that he was already awake. He pulled her closer, resting his chin on the top of her head, and felt her squeak in his arms, realizing that he was awake.

"Do you want to see how breakfast is coming?" Lance asked Yellow.

"No", she replied, turning over in his arms so she was facing him. "I want to stay right here." She kissed his cheek softly, and Lance smiled down at her. He ran a hand through her hair, for once out of its customary ponytail, marveling at its softness.

She closed her eyes as he did so, savoring his touch. He then traced her jawline, tilting her chin up and kissing her on the lips.

She whimpered quietly at the feeling, and opened her eyes to stare at his face. How had she never noticed just how beautiful his amber eyes were before now? She took both hands and caressed his face. His jaw was so sturdy, so strong.

Yellow never wanted to leave his side. She just wanted to stay right here for forever. "I love you", she informed Lance, in case there was any doubt. In case there was ever any doubt.

"I know", he replied, then kissed her again. He kissed her neck, but she still had her smock on, and it interfered with the kiss. He removed her belt, then she sighed as he started working on the back of her smock, and it was soon off, leaving her in a black turtle neck and blue pants.

Lance kissed her neck again, surprisingly softly, and worked his way from her neck up to her mouth once more. Yellow cupped her hands around Lance's face as he kissed her. She would be perfectly happy if they never left this room. Unfortunately, Clair wasn't going to let that happen. 

"Hey, are you two ever going to come to breakfast?" Demanded Clair, pushing the door open. When she saw Lance and Yellow kissing, her eyes widened. "Oh. . . carry on, I'll just, ah, put some aside for you. . . well, bye." She closed the door quickly. 

Yellow blushed deeply, and started to pull away, but Lance hung onto her. 

"You heard her. She'll save us some. Now, where were we. . . ?" He went after her neck again, but this time, her turtle neck got in the way. She saw the look he was giving it, and shook her head. "Too soon?" he asked. She nodded, and kissed him one last time before getting up. 

As Lance and Yellow entered the dining room, Clair tried to pretend nothing had happened. 

"Oh, you two are here early. . . I mean, um, I didn't expect to see you up so soon", She said, nervously trying to hide the blush on her cheeks that blossomed at the memory of walking in on them.

Lance smirked at his cousin's poor attempt at subtlety. "Clair, you know we're both morning people. We even slept in." 

"Right, I, um, must have forgotten."

Lance opened his mouth to say something else, but Clair beat him to it. 

"Right, well, do you two want breakfast? Great! I'll go get you some."

Yellow tried to smother a giggle, and Lance smiled at her. Yellow was so cute when she did that.

The two of them sat down at the table, and the others traded confused looks over the exchange. Lance casually slung his arm over Yellow's shoulders, and smiled again as she blushed at him. Blue looked on knowingly, while Red, oblivious as always, just went back to eating.

When they had all finished eating, Red posed the question they had all been thinking: "So what now?" 

Clair answered immediately. "First, we drop off Agatha, Lorelei, and the Masked Man with the police. I figure Green and Blue can give a full report to them on that. Meanwhile, Red and Silver can go talk to the others back at Pallet Town. I'll go see if those three had anyone else trapped at their base, and Lance and Yellow can, um, hold down the fort here. Okay?"

"That's quite the plan", said Blue. 

"Of course it is! I was stuck here with nothing else to do while you all got to do all the fun, exciting stuff. What else did I have to do?" Clair said. 

"My word for it wouldn't exactly be 'fun'", Red muttered. He had been trapped in the Masked Man's lair the longest of any of them. Recently, that is, because both Blue and Silver had been kidnapped as children, and had escaped together. 

"I notice Yellow and I get the boring job this time", remarked Lance. 

He realized that before, he had been dead- set on killing Agatha and Lorelei in revenge, but now. . . something had changed. He was alright with Blue and Green taking them to the police. Jail may not be as bad as they deserved, but at least now they wouldn't be able to hurt anyone again. And now Yellow would be happier, too. That was what mattered most to Lance. 

"Yeah, sorry about that", said Clair. She shot him a look that clearly told him to take advantage of their time alone, and then she and the others prepared to leave. 

Soon, everyone except Lance and Yellow were gone. Lance walked up behind Yellow, and placed his chin on top of her head, sliding his arms around her. 

"What do you want to do now?" He asked her. Yellow grinned. Now that everyone had left, she could do something she'd been wanting to do for a long time. 

"Let's go get ice cream", she responded happily. 

Awww. . . Lance and Yellow are ADORABLE together! I love writing about these two. I promise there will be more action soon. I tried to add a cute picture I found of them above, but I'm not sure how well it worked. Oh, well. Have an AWESOME weekend, everyone! Vote, comment, fan, follow, chill.
