Nothing
A Pokemon One-shot by Yeo
#1
The first time they meet, Volkner is entranced by those alluring cerulean orbs, hypnotised by eyes so blue, nothing could compare to them. There’s something, a small spark, in that brunette boy, in the adolescent twelve-year-old who stood at the entrance to the top of the Vista Lighthouse.
Lucas Diamond.
His name suits him perfectly. Lucas is a diamond, albeit a diamond in the rough, a stone that has yet to be polished to perfection.
#2
When Lucas first enters Volkner’s gym, he is impressed by the complex mechanisms of the place. Yet he seems to be able to pass through the maze with ease, with almost no difficulty, and soon he finds himself standing in front of the electric-type gym leader, Lucario’s Pokeball clutched in his right hand.
The battle starts without much idle chatter.
Lucario unleashes powerful blows on Volkner’s Ambipom. The battle drags on for hours, until it finally comes down to Volkner’s ace, Luxray, up against Lucas’ very first companion, his Umbreon.
Umbreon deals heavy damage on Luxray with earthshaking attacks. Luxray keeps up a powerful defence and deals equal amounts of damage to Umbreon, but Giga Impact knocks it out and secures Lucas’ win.
For some strange reason, Volkner doesn’t feel so bad about losing to a twelve-year-old kid.
#3
When Lucas meets Volkner again, on the beaches of Sunyshore, he’s already the champion of the Sinnoh League. He didn’t accept the position, but instead, he let Cynthia keep it. He’d rather keep to being a freelance trainer. Being tied down at the League does not appeal to him.
They sit on the beach and talk. They just talk, talk about everything. Their families, their friends, their likes and dislikes, their hobbies.
Lucas finds out that Volkner’s family lives in Solaceon Town, even though it’s only his grandfather and his sister, since his parents and most of his relatives all live in Fiore.
He learns that Volkner loves the sun and the sea, and that he has been friends with Flint ever since they were toddlers. He finds out that Volkner hates the cold, hates people who whine and complain, and that one thing the blonde man likes doing best is reading a good novel whilst sitting at the beach.
Volkner learns that Lucas’ dad has been away for years, that his mom is often away in Johto on work, or in Hearthome City, taking part in contests.
He finds out that Lucas loves nature, and his favourite food is cake, that the boy hates inconsiderate people, that he enjoys fishing and biking through Sinnoh. He discovers that Lucas loves drawing and writing poetry, two facts that surprise him greatly.
Most twelve-year-old boys prefer playing outdoors, but perhaps, Lucas is just...special.
Volkner invites Lucas to spend the night at his mansion. Lucas agrees.
#4
Dinner is delicious, and Lucas is fascinated by Volkner’s collection of exotic plants. The fact that the man’s mansion is one with nature delights the boy very much, and Volkner cannot help but smile at the sight of Lucas cooing and gushing over the garden.
At night, Lucas leans against the railing on the balcony, humming a lullaby to himself. Volkner joins him on the balcony, and they admire the stars together.
After that, Lucas retreats to his room to read, but is interrupted by Volkner grabbing his wrists and pinning him to the wall, looking like he just ran a marathon.
Lucas blushes red, and he asks why.
Volkner just stares at him dangerously, and soon, he kisses Lucas so hard, the boy can barely breathe.
When Volkner pulls away, Lucas begins to splutter and gasp, his cheeks flaming, but the blonde shuts him up. Words aren’t necessary.
They never were, and they never will be.
#5
When Lucas wakes up the next morning, groggy and confused, realisation hits him like a ton of bricks.
He sees his shirt on the floor, his jeans flung across the room, and the feeling of a warm body curled up next to him tells him that it isn’t a dream. It tells him that the night before, the night of passion and love, was real.
It wasn’t a lie, a dream his overly-imaginative teenaged had created. It was real.
Volkner wakes up and smiles at Lucas.
Lucas blushes red again. That seems to be his favourite thing to do when he’s around the blonde- his cheeks are covered with a shade of bright crimson almost as red as his precious scarf and beret.
Volkner kisses him, softly and gently this time, and Lucas is in heaven.
He moves in with Volkner two weeks after that.
#6
Johanna doesn’t seem to mind.
She pretends that she doesn’t know about what goes on between Sunyshore’s superstar and her own teenaged son. She acts as if Lucas and Volkner are nothing but close friends, nothing more than mentor and student, when in reality, she probably knows everything.
Once, over a meal of utmost simplicity, Lucas asks,
“Why don’t you care?”
Johanna smiles the same smile she’s been smiling for her thirty-nine years of life, and answers,
“Because I want you to be happy.”
Lucas bursts into tears and hugs his mother tightly. Volkner watches this scene from afar and thanks the gods that Johanna has willingly accepted him as her son’s lover.
The ever-sharp eyes of a mother meets with his, and Volkner smiles warmly in response, before leaving Lucas and Johanna to share some time together.
#7
But over with Volkner’s family, they aren’t as accepting as Johanna Diamond.
Indeed, Flint is incapable of keeping secrets, and soon, a very angry Amelia Raika turns up on his doorstep, hurling abuse at the blonde man. Volkner coolly side-steps every insult, and asks Amelia to please, have some dignity, before she meets with the young man whom she claims to hate very much.
To say the least, Amelia’s opinion of Lucas changes very much, and she no longer thinks of him as a gold-digging whore, but rather as a respectful and sweet young boy who calls her ‘nee-chan’.
She returns to Solaceon and assures her grandfather that Lucas is a perfect match for Volkner, and that they could always adopt a child if they wanted to.
#8
Flint has a habit of dropping by, and he makes it very clear that he approves of Lucas whole-heartedly and that he hopes the boy can get Volkner to stop acting like he has a ‘stick up his ass’.
Volkner is annoyed and tries, unsuccessfully, to chase Flint out. Lucas stops him, and tells the red-haired man that he’s welcome in the mansion whenever he likes. Volkner turns to yell at Lucas, but is shut up by a quick kiss and a playful wink.
That sends Volkner’s rage flying into the sea, and Flint laughs at the remarkable power Lucas has over his lover.
Volkner punches him in the face.
#9
The first time Lucas and Volkner have a fight; it rages on for days and Flint fears entering the mansion. The maids gossip, the butler sighs, and the house, for once, is silent.
Neither wishes to be the first to apologize, but Volkner soon cracks.
His attempt at apologizing is laughable, but at the same time, sweet and lovely. A Teddiursa doll sits on Lucas’ bed, accompanied by a red rose and a small card, in which words are written in Volkner’s beautiful handwriting.
I’m sorry.
Lucas runs to the man, who has just returned from the gym, and hugs him tightly, sobbing into Volkner’s shirt. The past two weeks have been hard for the teenage boy, and now that they’ve both forgiven each other, laughter rings through the house once more.
#10
Nights together are never sweet- as a matter of fact, they’re enjoyable but excruciatingly painful.
Lucas sleeps till lunchtime whenever a night of passion rolls by, and Volkner simply sits in bed with a book and a cigarette, as Lucas sleeps, curled up in his lap.
The boy is innocent, with his large sapphire eyes that sparkle like diamonds. But Lucas is a worldly boy, and nothing keeps him down for long, and by the time Christmas comes, their love is thicker than blood, water or anything else.
As they sleep, two passionate souls wrapped up together in a blanket of silk, they really do feel that nothing can, and nothing will, come between the two of them.
Nothing.

I hope you liked it. It was four pages long in Calibri font size 12, and it took me a couple of days to write.
Once again, this is dedicated to Maya Mak. Happy Birthday, dear!
Constructive criticism appreciated greatly.
