Rota's First Female Knight | Sir Aaron x Reader [Pokémon]

|| Chapter 40 ||

[Edited]

----------------------------------------------------

Tuesday had finally arrived and the opportunity to return to your home and family along with it. During the first Round-Table Conference yesterday, you all had decided that it was time everyone returned to their families - especially the knights that had ventured inside the Tree of Beginning and almost got killed there. Of course, that didn't mean that the ex-princess candidates and Myron had less right to go home.

And so, it was a day-off for everyone today. Camilla went home in hope to see her mother, but was going to be happily surprised to find her father at home as well. Doni's reunion with his parents was most probably going to be the most heated and loud one, but that was only to be expected in the Salvatore household.

Liliana and Fotula decided to spend the day together, perhaps take a walk through the village or go eat something since the families of both girls lived in either Puleuna or Kinola. It was a given that Kai intended on spending his free time with Rouen - and expectedly or not, those two were going to act as Yuma's family today and all go to Rouen's house. Loraine's parents and brother stayed in Grona, so she had no one to go to which resulted in her deciding to spend the day here at the castle and help Queen Rin and Mrs. Jenny with the paperwork and festival preparations.

You and Myron had decided to go home together, since both of you would be visiting the same people. The white-haired boy had told you to meet him at the entrance gates of the Cameran palace after lunch, so that you could walk together. And so here you were, already waiting for ten minutes which to you appeared to be much longer.

"Y/N! Waiting for someone?" A gentle voice was what shook you out of your thoughts as you slowly raised your head in order to meet the gaze of the person that very voice belonged to. Of course, you wouldn't have needed to even look in order to guess, after all, it belonged to a very special person who was always accompanied by a grumpy Pokémon. "Aaron!"

You couldn't hold back the urge of throwing yourself in the dark blue-haired knight's arms as soon as he had approached you. Wrapping his strong arms around your smaller figure, Aaron leaned his chin against your head while caressing your hair. You on the other hand had your face buried in the crook of his neck, unconsciously wanting to stay like this for much longer. Those would have been ten minutes you wouldn't have minded waiting.

As you were being embraced by the man you loved and while your cheeks rose redder by every moment that passed, you couldn't help but think that you would be able to interact with Aaron like this more often, given the fact that the two of you were dating - since longer than just recently - and that you were finally back in Rota, your home, where everything felt much safer and had a less tense feel to it.

Lucario who stood next to his master with his arms crossed couldn't do much more than to simply stare at the two of you in silence. As much as he wanted to trash-talk you, that would have meant that he would have needed to interrupt the moment which was just as precious to Aaron as it was to you, so the blue Pokémon restrained himself from delivering any sort of commentary. He also kept his mouth shut because he had actually started respecting you ever since the incident in Grona - but of course, his pride would never allow him to tell you that face to face.

During times like these he really wished that you could let your own Lucario out of her Old Ball more often, so that she could at least keep him some company, just like you and his master were doing it to one another. Lucario also wished that he wouldn't have the ability to hear Aaron's thoughts in situations like these, since they all sounded too lovey-dovey in the Pokémon's opinion.
