2- Secrets?

I woke up Saturday morning to birds chirping outside my window, pleasantly quiet with nothing but  birdsong and the rustle of leaves. Pyroar and Luxray lay asleep on the floor at the foot of the bed, ever so slightly purring. Lys seems to know I'm awake, as he wraps his arms around me and mumbles, "Morning." 

He yawns from behind me, and I laugh at him. You even wake up like a lion... 

So our day starts out usual. I take care of feeding the Pokémon, and Lys cooks. But since it's Saturday Lys doesn't have to go work, which means I have him all to myself. I wonder what we will do... 

See, we do share a house but we aren't exactly married. Although it's been my dream for years, we never truly got around to it, seeing how he's almost always busy at the labs. As for me, I live rather close to home. Yet that day after breakfast, I see him hurrying off somewhere, quickly pulling on his coat while stumbling over Litleo. 

"Where are you going?" I suppose I did look a little silly, getting frustrated over him going to work when he was supposed to take the day off. He turned back toward me and smiled. 

"August, I wanted to stay with you, I really did. But we have a huge project at work, and they need help as soon as possible. Apparently I was one of the very few people they could contact on such short notice, so I have to go. I'll be back by nine tonight." He then turned around and walked out the door, shutting it behind him. I growled in frustration. 

Later on, I only had a few visitors there to get their first starter Pokémon, then went back home for the day. I relaxed for a while on the couch for about three hours, then fell asleep. 

I was startled awake when the door slammed shut at about eight or nine at night. After two or three minutes, he collapsed right beside me. He didn't even bother to sweep the hair out of his eyes. I've never seen him so exhausted in my life. 

"Did I miss anything?" 

"No, not much. Not much at all." 

"Heh. Lucky you. There were way too many events for me to handle." What was he doing that made him this tired? 

"I'm going to bed. I.. don't suppose you'd like to come with me? Or are you fine here?" Hehe. Classic Lys, constantly being flirty. 

"Well stop being silly, I'd love to come with you. After all, I am your boyfriend. But I have one question. Where in the world were you at?! Because I've checked all over Lumiose, even at Lysandre Labs, and you weren't there! I'm worried 'bout you, okay? I just want to know that you aren't doing anything dangerous." 

"August, I assure you I'm not doing anything hazardous. It's not going to hurt you or me. Sometimes our projects at the labs lead us on little... expeditions. Trust me, I'll be all right. Now hurry up before I leave you behind!" He then headed for the stairs. Like he would ever leave me here! ... Right?

****

After I confirmed August was alseep, I breathed a sigh of relief. That was too close for my comfort. What if he finds out what I'm really doing? Project Y is almost complete, and it's being worked on at an alarming rate. True, I'm excited for what's to come, but I want to love him as much as possible. I don't want to leave him without him feeling like he was loved. People may say, "All good things come to an end", but I don't want this to end. I don't want him to die... but it's what needs to be done. 

That night I was brought to tears thinking about what I've decided to do. In exactly twelve days, five hours, and three minutes, I would have betrayed everyone on earth. I would have finally been able to make August hate me.
