4th bloom

[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.

[Oh yes, he sees this. He feels so guilty now, this is why he didn't want to tell you, okay?

Awkwardly, Vinnie glanced away.]

Yeah, after I shot her with lasers and she cracked my ribs. I know it was a stupid move, tryin' to think I could do anything t'her... She could'a killed me if she wanted.

[WELL IF YOU TOLD HIM EARLIER AT LEAST HE MIGHT HAVE HANDLED IT A LITTLE BETTER. No he wouldn't have. DIALGA THREW HIS VENUSAUR OFF A BUILDING AND HE WASN'T EVEN THERE TO BREAK THE FALL FHSDKJHGFJKGHF]

But you're okay right!?

[Look at least he wasn't really flipping out and weeping.

... fkjhdsffjkhgjh]

[If you broke his fall you would've been been the one who was dead, I promise you.

Now Vinnie was starting to freak a little. The freak was so contagious.]

Yes! I'm fine! Look, I'm all alive right now! This was last month!

This is kinda the problem! You can't expect me t'not do shit when shit needs doing!

[BUT YOU'D STILL BE ALIVE, VINNIE, THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS

Oh god no don't start freaking too Red's going to get worse.]

What do you mean last month why didn't you say--

Could you at least do shit that isn't getting thrown off buildings!?

[NO RED, THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Now this can only go poorly.]

I didn't plan to get thrown off a building! I knew you'd freak out about it, that's why I didn't wanna say anything then!

[UGHHHHHHHHH he was right Red was freaking out about it. But you'd freak out too if your brother just went "oh hey I got thrown off of a building by a crazy time god" out of nowhere.

Fkgjdfhskjgfh.

If you listen carefully you can hear Red deflating as he takes off his hat and scratches his head.]

Look, just... Be careful, all right? You can't train if you're stuck in the Pokemon Center.

[Seeing the hat come off was a bit of a sobering moment. Vinnie still felt a bit flustered in his efforts to explain things, but really, he was in the wrong here. He was the one starting fights, of course Red would be upset.]

It's not gonna work, just being careful. I need t'do something other than... nothing.

And 'parently Dana's in love with me so if I'm suddenly dead that might be why.

I'm not saying you have to do nothing, but...

[He was totally going to try and fix his awkward grammar but then Vinnie said "Dana's in love with me" and his brain kind of came to a screeching halt.]

--Wait, what?

[A dismayed sigh.]

Yeah. I have no idea how it happened, but she let that out of the bag after Valentine's. Trying to put off talking to her right now.

So... what do I do?

[C'mon, boss. Your Venusaur is looking at you for guidance, as one man to another. You are the manliest mans, after all.]

[Boss stares at Vinnie with a wide-eyed "I CAN BARELY RIDE A BIKE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GIVE OUT SAGE ADVICE" look on his face.]

You should at least talk to her. ... You know, sometime. When you're ready.

[Fidget fidget. Red's too awkward for words. NO okay it's time to get serious.]

You want to train? We'll train.
