where she belongs- Lance x Lyra

NSFW, contains some brief sex scenes, Lance being a creep, grooming and manipulation. Originally written for a commission.

The first time he sees Lyra, she looks altogether too small to be out on her own, too small to be able to tame the beast in the lake all by herself, and too small for him to be able to leave alone. Lance fancies himself a hero, sometimes, and to see someone as helpless as her...it just wouldn't suit him not to act.

Of course, she isn't helpless, and she isn't small, at least not too small and at least not set by the standards of the Pokemon League. In fact, she's even older than some of the kids in Kanto are when they get their start- later, he finds out that she left home when she was fourteen, that she's pushing fifteen now. But the first time he sees her, despite her clear ability to handle herself, he is overcome with the need to protect her, and so, he invites her straight into the lair of Team Rocket with him.

She thinks she can handle herself, and he wants to prove to her that she can't. He wants to protect her, and show her that she can rely on him. Lance hardly knows her, but from the first time he sees her, he wants to possess her completely.

It might be the pigtails, or the cutesy look of her outfit. Both make her look younger than she is, even though her height and the curve of her hips suggest otherwise. She's rather flat-chested too, a point of sensitivity until he tells her that he prefers her that way, and her shoulders are skinny. Lance could probably call it love at first sight, his sudden and overwhelming need to take care of her.

Lyra handles herself well when going up against Team Rocket, well enough that she hardly has a chance to rely on him at all, and that leaves him feeling rather agitated. He doesn't want to give up so easily, though, and they exchange numbers. She has a crush on him, he can already tell, and she blushes prettily when he says that he wants to talk to her as often as possible.

When she tells him that she is collecting her gym badges, he decides not to mention his status as champion. If everything works out the way he wants it to, then she will not come to challenge him at all, and even if she does, he will be ready for her. Though he has only known her a short time, Lyra has already enchanted him, and he knows that he has enchanted her, with heroic facade and his confident speech, so even if he has to wait this out, he knows that it will be well worth it.

Lance has been in love before, a few times and briefly, but it has always fallen apart before it could truly take off. There have been other challengers before Lyra, young girls all full of hope, crushed after a defeat that ensured they would never reach him. Just recently, within the past few years, there was a girl similar to Lyra, though, looking back, they don't have much in common besides the age and the determination and the brown hair, rich eyes.

Leaf was her name, and as she followed behind the two boys from her hometown, trying to fit herself into their rivalry, trying to find any place that she could fit. She never could keep up with either of them, but Lance kept her company for a good while before she lost one last time, and something in the pitying look in Red's eyes sent her packing. Or, at least, that's how he imagines it must have happened, but Leaf, ashamed of her failures or ashamed of their affair, barely bothers to tell Lance goodbye before heading back home.

Lyra is much stronger than her own rival, a boy that Lance greatly dislikes for a number of reasons, but most of all, he dislikes him because of his closeness to Lyra. Even if the two of them are only close in their constant, coincidental collisions, it is something that they share that Lance does not get to share in, and it becomes harder not to intervene.
