No Feelings Allowed (Raihan x OC, NSFW)

13 - The Bitter & Sweet (18+ M)

Time for some back story again. Also smut because it's been long enough :D Also props to Leon this chapter; the sweet boys gets to endure some BS xD Also maybe trigger warnings? Not sure if I really need it, but it's there? 

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

The restaurant was called "Champion's Delight", which wasn't actually an unfitting title. Leon himself said he liked it, and there was a picture of the new Champion Gloria enjoying the first meal there. According to the owner, she came in often, although right now she was on vacation with family due to the closing of the Gym Challenge for the year. Even so, the place was still highly popular, and Samantha was surprised when they got a table easily. Then again, she was with the former Champion and a Gym Leader. Even if the hostesses weren't star struck, they still probably could have gotten their nice booth right away regardless. It was tucked into a corner almost, but not enough so that the people couldn't see or notice them.

Naturally, cameras came out and people were abuzz with excitement.

The redhead wondered if anyone actually recognized her—especially after that live feed.

"They have a killer burger, and the curry is top notch," Leon beamed, flipping through the menu. "You getting your usual, 'Rai?"

"You know it, although shame they don't have that... what'ya call it? Oyakodohan?" the dragon tamer mused, glancing to Samantha with a grin.

She rolled her eyes, "Oyakodon, thank-you very much, and I wouldn't expect them to, although that does sound good right now."

"What's 'Oyakodon'?" their purple-haired companion inquired from across the table.

"It's a rice disk soaked in a broth and you add egg, bird, or some other meat, along with veggies. It's really good and even Raihan and Flygon-approved. They got to try it, what, three days agoor something? I was making it to celebrate the modeling shoot with Nessa since it's one of my teams' favorites."

"Damn it really does sound good. How come I wasn't invited?" he pouted with a bit of a huff. It was adorable, watching a full-grown man in a fancy outfit look like a child.

"Raihan kinda made himself my guest. I think he was bored. That, or all his lady friends weren't answering the booty calls," she snickered, earning a pout from Raihan this time.

"You willingly sent me your address. I just took advantage of the opportunity. Besides, you and I both know damn well you enjoyed kicking my ass at Mario Kart."

"Yes, Yes I did," she smirked, and Leon's face was pitiful as he made a whining sound.

"Okay, that's not fair—I love gaming! You have to bring me along next time!"

"More players would make it more fun, although I don't have enough controllers. Does Nessa like to play?"

The former Champion grinned, "Oh yeah—she's actually the most competitive of us. We could probably get Gloria or Hop to join in, too, to make it a party."

"Can they drink yet, though?"

"Oh. No. Hmm... maybe not them then. Gordiaemight be up for it?"

"I think us four is fine. Gordie's kind of a stiff, anyways," Raihan shrugged, lounging back.

"That's fine by me, we just need more controllers," Samantha mused as she pulled out her phone. It had been buzzing quite a bit, meaning she had messages. Sure enough, the very dark-skinned woman they'd spoken of was blowing up her phone about the live feed. The redhead was touched Nessa watched and was ecstatic over the outcome, and how she was going to show off her friend to the other Gym Leaders—to one up them and all, being her "best friend". That made her laugh, earning some lifted brows from her two companions. "It's Nessa, here."
