Promise By The Ferris Wheel (N x Reader)

Part 14: Cryptic dream

 Once you get to the Pokémon Center, it's fairly late. N prepares some Oran and Leppa Berries to eat and it's eventually time to sleep.

"Hey, Y/N?" N whispers from his bed.

"Yeah? What is it?" you whisper back.

"Will you come over here for a second?"

With a small grunt, you step out of your blankets and slowly walk towards N's bed to see what he wants.

He's not there.

You're about to say something, when suddenly N hugs you from behind and rolls onto the bed with you.

He lets out a small laugh. "Got you! This was Zoroark's idea, by the way."

By the foot of the bed, the mentioned Pokémon snickers.

N pulls the covers over the both of you and hugs you again. "Let's fall asleep together!" He rolls onto his back and your head falls onto his shoulder.

You lay there, face warm, unsure of what to do. You can feel the rise and fall of his chest accompanied by his gentle breathing. It's oddly relaxing. 

You close your eyes.

You're once again in that misty environment, but you recognize it more this time. It's like the top of Celestial Tower, but the stone is darker, and there's no bell.

Broken pillars lay collapsed beside and on top of each other. The entire place looks destroyed.

In the center of all of it, right in front of you, stands the great black dragon.

Zekrom.

You open your mouth to speak, but the dragon turns around, silencing you.

"Listen to me, human," Zekrom growls. "There will come a day very soon where Reshiram and I will be summoned into this world once again."

"And... why are you telling me?"

"You and the King will be pitted against each other. His truth to your ideals."

You remember the story N told you a while ago about the two brothers. "Wait... you mean like in those other dreams I've been having?"

"Those are visions of sorts. They tell the future."

"But, why do we have to fight? I thought N just wanted a safe world for Pokémon."

"The King will be misguided and begin to doubt himself. Then he will attempt to seek the truth."

"I don't understand... Why is there a need to fight?"

"You don't have to understand it, human. The King will bring the end of the Unova Region, him and Reshiram. All in an attempt to find the truth to his ideals."

"Zekrom, you talk a lot about 'truth' and 'ideals.' What does it mean to you?"

"That doesn't matter now. Look behind you, human."

You turn around and see N and the white dragon, Reshiram.

He looks at you and scowls, before climbing onto Reshiram's back and flying away.

"He will become so focused on his goals that he sees everything else as an enemy. Prepare yourself, human."

Everything begins to go blurry. Zekrom disappears from in front of you and a strange ringing goes through your ears.

"Forget about me, Y/N. Then maybe we'll meet again..."

You wake up in a cold sweat, heart pounding.

"Are you OK, Y/N?" N asks. He has an arm wrapped around you, looking concerned. "You looked to be having a bad dream again."

How do you even respond? Zekrom literally just told you about how N would go ahead and try to destroy the region.

But when you look at him leaning close to you, asking if you're OK, you can't see how he would team up with a legendary Pokémon and cause massive destruction.

"I'm fine," you whisper.

Maybe it's only a dream.

"Here, come closer." N opens his arms, giving you the opportunity to snuggle into his chest. He closes his arms around you once again, and it's quiet.

However, as soon as you close your eyes, images of fire and battling dragons cross your vision. You flinch back.

"Don't worry, Y/N." He gently pats your head and begins humming a soothing melody.

(it's the emotion theme)

"What... is this?" you ask him.

"One of the times I ran away, I actually made it pretty far. It was late and I didn't know where to go, then a couple of Chinccino found me and let me sleep with them. I was scared of being found. So scared I couldn't sleep. The Chinccino started singing this song to help me fall asleep." He pauses, a look of sadness crossing his face. "The Shadow Triad found me the next morning and the Chinccino were attacked."

You go tense against him.

"Sorry, I was supposed to be helping you sleep, not making you sad." He starts humming again.

You feel tiredness tugging at you, making your eyelids heavy. The world fades away from around you as you close your eyes.

"Goodnight, my dearest," N whispers.

Dearest?

A/N: ahaaa sorry to kc who probably had higher expectations for this chapter~~ Stuff like this is surprisingly hard to write!
