4th bloom

[punchtheflowers]

[Vinnie had been spending a lot of time on his own outside, watching the flower buds peek through the snow. Had he been actively avoiding certain people? Hell yes. But he was privately trying to console himself with the slow return of spring.

It was getting warmer. Greener. All his hopes for the future lay in the coming month.

All are welcome to bug him as he mopes in the melting snow.]

I wanna get back into training again. At least doing something. I'm sick of waiting around and feeling like this. I've been getting into fights anyway, so... I should've told you about those.

I know I've been pulling stupid shit lately. You can lay it on me for that.

...Sorry for being such an asshole.

There's a girl that likes me. I don't know what the fuck t'do.

So if you guys have any ideas on how I should stop fucking up my life, I'm all ears.

By the way, Smoe: those nose things work really well. Thanks.

[ERGH why is she dealing with this crap. She gives a small "hmph" as she looks away.]

Then why are you outside? Go inside and get some rest, it's still pretty d-*ahem*...cold.

[Vinnie didn't seem to be listening to Zapdos's surprisingly rational advice. He was still fixated on the flowers, as though staring at them would make them grow faster.]

Cuz I'm tired of resting. S'not like I can't take cold. I trained on Mount fuckin' Silver.

...Flowers're different on mountains, y'know. They're not like these guys. I've been watching them grow for days, and it's only been a few inches. I dunno how they do it.

[Zapdos doesn't know how to answer that without sounding like a dick.]

...Don't know about flowers, since I'm not a grass type. But I guess even the smallest guys have a strong will.

[She gives a small shrug and looks up at the sky. Sometimes, she felt so insignificant compared to all the other people here because the tiniest guys here looked brighter than herself. Not like she was ever going to admit that.]

[Vinnie shook his head slightly, and explained.] No, I mean... flowers down here are patient. They get to take it easy and let spring come to them. They have it good.

The mountain's never really warm for long, even in the summer. You gotta grab it while you can. It only lasts a week or two, but every single wildflower on the mountain'll bloom, all at the same time. S'like a rainbow exploded its guts over the place.

But then they're gone, just like that. And the world keeps rolling along. That's their life.

[If there was a point he was going for, Vinnie couldn't remember anymore. Too caught up in the memories of vivid, fleeting flowers.]
