Instant Family (SWSH Fanfic)

Good Morning Galar

Gloria woke up to a mad buzzing from her rotom as she rolled out of her cocoon of sheets.

"Ugh, this never gets easier..." she grumbled to herself sleepily as she swatted at her nightstand, desperately hoping she'd land on the rumbling phone.

She tilted the screen toward her sleepy eyes, 4 notifications from Marnie. Her demeanor immediately perked up, her heart skipping a beat. This is how I like to be woken up she thought, eagerly bringing the phone towards her.

Stretching and sitting up in bed, she swiped open her phone to see what her messages had in store for her.

😈Marnie: hey sleepyhead, have anything on the docket today? If you can pry yourself away from Rose and Oleana for your "official duties"

😈Marnie: I'm hoping you can stop by Spikemuth today, got something I think you'll like...

😈Marnie: *picture message*

😈Marnie: *picture message*

Gloria's eyes ogled at the screen in front of her. That bathing suit looked amazing... she had to get to Spikemuth ASAP. She immediately tossed aside her covers and ran for the shower, washing up at breakneck speed but pausing for a quick, steamy mirror selfie. She had to match Marnie's cheekiness of course...

Gloria👑: I'm coming over as we speak love!!

Gloria👑: *picture message*

She blushed and smiled as she clamored out of her apartment, bag in tow, Pokémon secured, ready for another adventure.

When Gloria got into her flying taxi, the butterfree in her stomach never ceased. She'd been seeing Marnie in secret for a while now, ever since she'd become champion 2 years ago. She remembered how hard she fell for the rocker, how nervous she felt under her intense gaze. They started out as good friends, Gloria giving tips and tricks on battling, Marnie slowly starting to open up to Gloria's warmth— she felt her heart skip a beat when she reflected on how much their relationship had grown. Gloria sighed,

how did I luck out with someone like her...

And she truly did feel lucky. Their first date was a total disaster— she had to chuckle at the thought of it! Between Morpeko's sudden hangry outburst and the spilled coffee, she never thought she'd get a second chance with Marnie, but thankfully, she thought the whole situation was quite endearing.

Deep in thought, Gloria was snapped back to reality by a text from her girlfriend. She blushed and smiled coyly, excited to have her in her arms once more.

Marnie was waiting at the Pokémon center, cooly leaning against the wall and playing with her phone. Oy, she never takes this long, where's she at? She thought to herself impatiently. She contemplated sitting down but was quickly stormed by various people, some team yell, others outside tourists wanting a picture. She humored them, signing posters, pokeballs, and other knickknacks— though she politely declined signing a particularly excited fans's tits— maybe another time, but not when Gloria's on her way to town...

still, cheeky, she thought.

She muscled through the pictures and the selfies, flashing her signature deadpan look, switching things up on occasion by sticking out her tongue and revealing her shining piercing. She had a certain fan base that went wild for pictures like those, she thought to herself.

She knew for sure Gloria loved it.

She stifled a smirk, not daring to flash it for the cameras to catch, she never wanted to ruin her cool demeanor and give the paparazzi fodder to feed on,
My romantic escapades are enough for them, she thought to herself.

And she was partly right. The world wanted Marnie to be their girlfriend. Her striking looks and piercing eyes drove everyone wild, especially Spikemuth natives, not to mention her soft punk fashion sense that made everyone swoon.

Even good boys and girls knew deep inside that they love leather, metal, and pink.

Filing away from fans and beckoning Morpeko to jump on her shoulder, she reminisced on all of her run ins with the media. Most of them were front pagers, outraged at something she did, said, or probably wore. She quietly chuckled to herself when she remembered her first "no-no" story when the paparazzi caught her in an exhibition match against Raihan.

She was wearing her gym leader uniform and she forgot to take off her nipple piercings. It sucked having Piers find out with the rest of the world that she even had 'em... she woke up to a barrage of texts from her fellow gym leaders, some of them consoling her over the less-than-flattering media coverage, others cheekily complimenting her on her bad-assery. Marnie always marched to the beat of her own drum, piercings and all. Fuck squeaky clean gym standards. She liked things rough.

So does Gloria.

Just as she finished that thought she heard a whooshing rumble from just outside Spikemuth's secret entrance. The steely clang of a Corvinight's wings sliced through the warm springtime air.

Morpeko immediately jumped off her shoulder and sprinted through the alleyway.

Speak of the devil...
