Settling The Score~ (F!Cinderace x M!Reader)

2) Moonlight Stroll

(Well, here we are. Chapter 2! This one will be a tiny bit longer, cause I'm sure most of us don't really like short chapters, but with that out of the way, enjoy reading!)
---------------------------------------------
We arrived back at my house, which I was still figuring out how Cinderace knew where my house was located. I was pulled out of my thoughts right after she dropped me again. I landed flat on my ass and grunted in slight pain. "H-Hey! Stop dropping me on my ass please, I need it! It's useful..." I said. Cinderace just rolled her eyes as her ears went up. "I smell carrots, where are the carrots...TELL ME!" Cinderace psychically told me, shaking me back and forth. Her soft paws had a rather tight and rough grip onto me, as I was starting to receive whiplash from the jerking of my head at rather fast speeds. "They....re....on..the...coun..un...ter..!" I managed to say as she kept shaking me. Eventually she stopped, dropping me flat on my ass once again, and dashed into the kitchen, munching down on some carrots that I had. I got up and turned the TV on, which displayed a show about some guy who loves fighting all types of enemies, and his hair spikes up and becomes golden after he yells, sometimes it changes from yellow to red, or sometimes blue, then back to black with some glow in it, and then white, but never mind that. Cinderace had finished the bowl of carrots, leaving nothing in it whatsoever. It's a good thing I had a back-up in the fridge. "So, when do we start training? I want to get stronger! I'm already strong, but getting stronger wouldn't hurt," She boasted. I looked at the fridge, before opening it. "We'll start training, after I had a nice salad," I told her. One of Cinderace's ears perked down as she tilted her head. "The hell's a salad?" She asked.

I looked at her in disbelief. "Cinder...honey.. you're telling me that you, a tall anthropomorphic female fire bunny Pokemon, have never heard or seen a salad before." I asked her, and I could've sworn I saw some blush on her face from the nickname before it quickly faded away. "N-No. No I have not. Tell me what it is," She said. I explained to her what a salad was, and how you could add chicken, tomatoes, onions, and other veggies or meat in it. "Salad is a really good meal to make your body feel good and energetic, especially if you use ranch to make it tastier, and yes, you can add carrots into it," I informed her. Cinder jumped up in delight, clearly wanting a salad. Typical. I shrugged it off and started making her a salad, which she watched from behind me. I could hear her soft, patient breathing as her gaze was fixed onto the salad I was preparing for her. One of my windows that was open allowed a cool breeze to flow in, making me shiver a bit. Cinderace gently wrapped her arms around my waist as she pressed herself against my back, making me blush. "Relax, this is how I made my previous trainer warm, " she said. I took a deep breath and kept making her salad, throwing in extra carrots. I didn't notice it, but Cinder was starting to slowly enjoy my touch, I could feel her hands slowly slide up my chest. She pulled away as soon as I moved, showing her the salad I made. She simply smiled and took the plate, eating it. Her eyes teared up as she ate. "Nomph...'Ish is...mph..best..mpood...mever~" she said with her mouth full. I smiled at her and started eating my salad, and let me tell ya; that really does make you feel better, even if it doesn't taste as good as meat or junk food.

After about an hour or so of Cinder laying on the couch and myself on the floor, clearly tired of some training we did, I stood up and checked the time. It was almost evening, and I wanted Cinder to feel more comfortable around me. "Hey Cinder?" I asked the fire bunny, getting her attention. "Sup," she blankly said. Rubbing the back of my neck, I decided to ask her something that made her ears go up. "Will you go out with me?" I asked. She sat up quickly and looked at me with wide eyes. "You're joking..." She said in disbelief. I shook my head slightly. "Woah now, not like that Cinder, we've only been partners for a few hours now. I meant like we could just spend the rest of the day outside, exploring or whatever, probably get to know each other more," I told her. Cinder's eyelids drooped down midway. "Oh uh..yeah that's fine, but I heard from the TV that it's gonna be a bit chilly, and I don't really like the cold, for obvious reasons," she said, laying back down, "Just...tap my foot or somethin' when you're headin' out...in the meantime, I'm gonna take a nap." I nodded and started to go upstairs, but a small urge came over me. I quickly went to Cinder and pet her head, making her growl in annoyance before I dashed upstairs like a child.
