“ Humra...? “ This wasn’t like his daughter at all! Well, maybe the hugging wasn’t too strange... But Humra was usually so full of energy. Even when she was sick! Immediately, Mikale was filled to the brim with concern.

   “ Are you running a fever? “ Gently and carefully, he turned around so that he could hold her up with one arm and check her forehead with his free hand. No fever? “ Maybe you’re just not used to traveling so much... You must be exhausted, huh? “

I will, I’ll call..or even come home if anything. I’m not too far!

Aw..I love Shadow and Ginger too! Tell them I love them~ 

   “ I will... You take care. I love you too, okay? A whole lot. Have fun traveling... Maybe take some pictures. “ And he expresses it by baking huge amounts of dessert.

Perhaps? 

…no-probably and most likely. But yeah, I’m sure of that definitely!

   “ Okay... Well, if you need anything then you just need to tell me. Okay? Shadow and Ginger love you. They’d be happy to follow along. “

I did feed them some PokePuffs and even tried to pet them and show them some love like I do with Terra but they seem..distant of me. 

Hateful of me too. All of them are like that. Its strange.

..Everything is okay, though! It’ll be okay! Maybe Kalosian Pokemon are different than Johto or Hoenn Pokemon.

Or maybe I just lost my touch

   “ Distant? Hateful?

     Hm... Maybe Kalosian Pokemon don’t like foreigners...?

     I’m sure it’ll get better as you go along... “ He hopes.

What a strange day..

Luckily we made it out of the forest okay! I have new friends and they seem…

…Well actually they don’t like me. They’ve disobeyed me, haven’t wanted to switch…and even Nina ran away so fast..

I don’t get it :c

  “ Huh? D-Do you need me to come over there? Is everything okay? Maybe they need PokePuffs? I’ve baked some. “ He’s probably stress-baked enough to open his own bakery.

“S-stay strong MIkky-chan, you gotta set a good example for them! J-Just -sniffle- Just s-stay strong! They’ll be okay a-and if they ever need help, we can get there for them, right?”

    “ She’s going with a boyyyy. Humra is growing up, Dusk! I’m not ready. “

“I-I can’t believe my little boy is all grown up and leaving the nest… S-stay safe Yoshi… If you ever need me, give me a call… Mommy loves you!”

   “ Leaving the neeeest. Duuuusk. Humra is leaving the neeeest. “

   “ Reed. I will pick a new guardian for her if I have to. “

  “ I don’t need your help to rescue my daughter! I’ve been doing just fine without you, thank you! “

  “ Okay. Everyone sit and stay. No rushing off. I’m looking at you, Mikky– Yoshiya-kun. “

   “ Not happening! Chika left us a map and I’m going to follow it-- “

“I HAVE THE MOST WONDERFUL DAUGHTER. The family is growing more and more and I love it! I should get to planning her wedding!!!”

   “ HUMMY AND YOSHI ARE DATING, SO DUSKY AND I ARE MAMAS-IN-LAW! 

     Confetti, confetti, confettiiiii. Celebraaate. Lowkey~. “

    “ Um... Why are you saying confetti, if you don’t mind my asking, Sweetheart? “

Drop me a character name and I’ll reveal my muse’s heart...

    “ …? “ Someone else was very startled. His eyes were filled with so many tears that he could hardly see his bestie’s face. Yoshiya was stunned to have his hands in hers. Hearing her say those things was like a dream. 

     “ Hana…? “ They’d both been thinking the same thing. If that same thing wasn’t making him so happy, he’d have taken some time to feel stupid. Talking to her really was the answer to everything. Since the moment they’d met, Humra had always helped him find the answer to any question. Like right now, as he wondered if he had value to her.

    “ Th-Then… Ha-Hana… “ His heart was racing again. The possibility that this was all an illusion did cross his mind as he tried to grip her hands back and leaned in closer. Yoshi could only whisper now, aware of how his voice was evaporating from the heat on his face. “ Hana… If I said I-I… I want to take you on a date. I want to be with you for as long as possible… I-I want to try being more than friends, w-would that be okay? Can I keep falling for you? “

    Speaking of falling: Someone almost fell down some stairs. He could still hear them right until he was startled out of eavesdropping. So this was it, huh? Humra’s first boyfriend? He was so not ready for this! Mikale sniffed, not sure what to say to Dusk. She seemed happy about it, so why couldn’t he be like that? Other than, ya know... Overprotective dad who has trouble letting go.

    “ ... What’s taking you so long? Is everybody kissing? And I’m not invited? “ Momtou came halfway up the stairs to stabilize her distressed boyfriend. “ Why is Mikky broken? “

   Welcome to Crying with Yoshiya: A Mini Series. Where it finally ‘dawns’ on Yoshiya that there’s no hiding it anymore. Humra must have figured it out. Why else would she be tearing up? As Yoshi lifted his gaze, he realized that he had hurt her. Their relationship was done for.

   So it was time to stop lying. He wanted to apologize to Dusk for yelling, and he wanted to be the best friend he could be until the very end. So the teary-eyed, red faced boy spoke up– raising his voice as best he could, so Dusk could hear him being honest. 

   “ B-Because… I think I’m falling in love with you, Hana. I’m overstepping my boundaries as your best friend. I-I’m… I’m in your way… “ This was so embarrassing. He felt like his heart was going to actually break. Right when things had been so happy, he went and ruined it…! “ I want to be with you… so so much. I love you i-in so many ways… I’m sorry. “

    Mikale stumbled after Dusk. He might have needed to grab her arm and bury his face against her shoulder, because Yoshi had to raise his voice. “ What am I supposed to dooo? “

   “ I-I’m okayyy. “ He wasn’t concussed, at least! But now his bruises ached. What was his life? Why was all of this happening? He’d been so happy to just sit with Humra in a very platonic manner. He wanted to help her dream come true, not be an obstacle in her way. He wanted to be her support, not her enemy… If he let his selfish, spoiled feelings get the best of him, he’d just hurt her.

    But ow. It hurt to have Humra so adamant about denying a possible relationship. And now she was so worried. He shook his head to her, reaching out to light touch her cheek to calm her. “ It’s not your fault. I-I… don’t mind… “

    He took a deep breathe, looking up at the parents again.

   “ B-But please— Stop! Humra doesn’t want that kind of relationship, especially with me! Please stop making her hate me! I-I… “ He couldn’t yell at Dusk. His volume dropped and he covered his face, unable to look Humra in the face. “ I’m sorry… for troubling you… Hana, I’m sorry. “

    “ GREEEG. “
