ES AU: Another Day of Love || DISCONTINUED

Obliviously Love Struck

--A few hours later--

"Yum! These pancakes are delicious! Speed, can I have one of yours?" Kris said joyfully as she hinted at her twin brother for another pancake.
"Sure, I guess. I'm not that hungry anyways," Speed replied, handing the pancake over to the ravenous Vaporeon.
"Yay!~" She squealed, pouring syrup all over it and then taking a big bite.
"You guys didn't have to make breakfast, you know, I could've done it myself," Pearl said.
"It was no biggie. Besides, baking is fun!" Stella cheered. They had no clue what happened...
"If you're sure.." Pearl replied, wondering why Stella and Speed had made breakfast.

"Hey Speed, are you alright?" Black asked.
"I'm fine. What about you?" Speed replied, oblivious about what Black was on about.
"*Sigh* That's not what I meant.. But I'm fine, just a bit annoyed at you know who," Black murmured.
"Oh..." Speed whispered.
"By the way..." Black started. "Did you forgive her?"
"Mhm," Speed said. He was expecting an outburst sooner or later. And given Black asked for a moment before dragging Speed out of the room, he was right.
"Why. Are. You. Ok. With. Her. Actions?! Why just forgive her like that after she--"
"Because one: she was sorry. Two: forgive and forget! You forgave me too, so I should forgive her," Speed cut him off.
"All you did was tell white lies! But she literally touched you without consent!" Black piped up.
"Chill out. Forgiving is forgiving, and using my lie to make her look worse isn't fair. I still did something stupid, and everyone makes mistakes," Speed said calmly.
"But that doesn't change that it was wrong!" Black screeched.
"Neither was lying, yet you still forgave me," Speed said, shutting Black down.
"Fine.. But if she does something else that's stupid, don't forgive her in a blink of an eye," Black choked.
"Okie-dokie!" Speed replied in a happy-go-lucky tone.

They went back to the others who had finished breakfast.
"Hey Speedy, and Black!" A Luxray popped up in front of them after calling them out. "What were you talking about?"
"Nothing much," Speed said.
Then, Lazuli, Flora, Stella, Silvia, Kris, Cream and Stella all walked over to them.

"Speed, tell them to back off!" Kris whined, pointing at Stella and Flora.
"No, tell them to back off!" Flora shouted, grabbing Speed and making him look at the other girls.
"Can you all leave him alone.. For one second?" Black said in a moody, annoyed voice. He was agitated just seeing them arguing over his friend. "Or he'll have to leave. He can always hang out with me and Gus, possibly Silvia too,"
"No way is he hanging out with that annoying lass over there! Although two fine- looking guys hanging out sounds like--"
"Shut up, you stupid leech!" Silvia yelped.
"What did you call me, you baffoon? And how many times do I have to tell y'all it's Flor!"
They all snickered.
"What's so funny? The fact that these idiots think they'll become one of these two's wives?!" She said, still holding Speed.
"Could you please let him go?" Cream asked Flora nicely.
"No, but you can hold him too," Flora said, letting go of an arm. Black smacked his face in disgust.
"Help.." Speed whimpered.
Flora was then tickled by Stella and let go of Speed, only for him to be grabbed by Silvia's ribbons.
"Let's get out of here!" Lazuli whispered to Silvia.
"On it!" Silvia whispered back. They rushed out of the door holding Speed, Black chasing after them, the other lot not far behind.

--later in the warehouse--

(Oh no no no---)

"Um.. Thanks?" Speed said. "But why are we in the warehouse?"
"Multiple reasons, one being so they don't catch us," Silvia said.
"Who are you talking about?" Black said behind her.
"Ah!" She squealed, then threw Black out of the warehouse, locking the door again afterwards.
"Now they're all out of the way.." Lazuli said. "What did Stella do to you last night?"
"N-Nothing!" Speed said, going a bit pink.
"Do we need to force you to tell us?" Lazuli threatened.
"You would if there was anything to tell," Speed replied, trying to keep it a secret.
Silvia squeezed her ribbons against his body. "You going to tell us now?"
"No," Speed said. "But could you please stop? I think you'd know why if you looked at what you're doing.."
"Why should I stop?" She asked, poking his nose with her paw.
"Because it's uncomfortable and invading my personal space," He said.
"That's kinda the point." Lazuli said. "How else are we supposed to get answers?"
Silvia's eyes then lit up. "I know..." She said happily.
"How? And is it more or less effective, or even fun?" Lazuli questioned.
"More fun and probably more effective," Silvia replied whilst her blue eyes sparkled like diamonds.
"How?" The Glaceon asked curiously.
"Tickle attack!" Silvia said, turning Speed around and dragging him closer to her. She began tickling behind his ears vigourously.
