The rancher's failing champion boyfriend
Character: Leon x male reader
Universe: Pokémon
Warnings: Slight angst
Slightly warm summer air, flowed over the wide grassland, rustling the many trees around and some even in the fenced-in area, which started at the end sides of a big house. Reaching over a massive amount of land. Multiple barns and other small houses were all over the place, just like different types of smaller enclosures for different types of Pokémon.
It was just another hard day of work. Your own Pokémon working with you, except for one, that slept all the way in.
Different than other days, this one felt especially lonely. The day, everyone should celebrate with their partner was the day before and you were alone, even though it shouldn’t have been that way.
Which was why you worked even harder that one, just to forget about everything, just like your boyfriend seemed to do.
You were just about to feet the Miltank, Wooloos, and Mareep, that you heard big wings over your head. Only one look into the sky, already told you who it was. An annoyed sigh escaped your mouth, as not long after, you got all the Wooloos near you, someone jumped down out of the sky, just to chase away, these easy-to-scare Pokémon.
„Hey,“ he confidently, with a proud swollen chest greeted you. But you on the other instead of kissing the floor he is walking on, just ignored him. Calling out to your Absol to get the Wooloos back to you.
Just to turn around and walk to the MIltank, waiting for their special treats. One by one, got a special berry, a crossing, that you with the help of a Professor made, to increase the ability of your Miltanks to produce milk and at the same time, make their immune system stronger.
„Hey babe!“, your boyfriend called out to you again. But just as before you ignored him, stroking the heads of your Pokémon and finally also checking if the wool of your Wooloos is ready to be sheered off.
„Did I do something?“
„I don’t know, maybe ask your calendar,“ you muttered angrily under your breath.
He could hear just so, because of your angry voice, which confused him. As he opened the calendar on his phone, he actually went pale. „I’m sure, we can make plans again!“, he tried to tell you.
Which actually got you from your kneeling position. But not without a long-winded heavy sigh. „No, we can’t. It was the last concert this band will ever give. I actually gave our cards away to my little brother and his friend, just so they don’t get wasted. And the restaurant opening, that we would've gone to after the concert, went well, even without my moral support for my best friend. He understood, that I wouldn’t want to come alone and that my boyfriend the champion of the Gala region, again let me hang.“
You could see the shame on your boyfriend's face. He hadn’t even the excuse of him being Champion, because you were one too, years ago.
„Six months, Leon! Six months, not a call, not a message. I only saw you on the news, nothing more. I even came by your home, sixteen times, but always got blown off, because you were in some important meeting!“ Your anger dissolved into disappointment at that point.
Your boyfriend could tell that, being disappointed in himself. „You could’ve sent me a message too, you know, or call. I would've answered you any time,“ he weakly tried to argue.
At that point, you already had turned around to feed your Wooloos their special treats next. But you froze as he told you that. „Check your phone.“
Leon did that a moment later, just to become speechless. Every day in the last six months did you write him. About your day, the Pokémon, and so on, even telling him about the time Absol saved another Pokémon from drowning. Besides that, every second or third day, were also multiple calls from you.
„Oh.“
„Yeah, `Oh´.“
„How can I make it up to you?“, he asked determined after a long silence.
„I don’t even know if I want to continue this.“
„What?“, he asked confused.
„Our relationship, since you became champion, there isn’t much time for us anymore. I’m the owner of a ranch, an arena and champion consultant, owner of a Pokémon snack company, and a breeder. Even I have the time to of things with you.“ Your voice is exhausted not only from your work but from this useless conversation.
Leon thought about it for a while. But the one glance you gave him, told you already, that he wanted to stay with you. You wanted that too, you love this idiot. But to feel alone all the time is not what you had in mind, as he began his own journey.
„What if I let you fight me?“
You could only roll your eyes. „Get your Charizard out.“ And Leon did what you asked him to do. The moment it came out of his ball again. It looked around for the next fight, just to see you. It nuzzled its head immediately into your body, getting all the scratches it deserved.
„Would you like to fight against my Lucario, again?“, you asked it. Within an instant, it stopped its happy waggling, standing up straight, glancing between you and his partner, just to tip on his ball to vanish again. „Maybe you should finally learn, that some people are stronger than you, just like your Pokémon do.“
After feeding these three types of Pokémon their special treats, you went back, to fill up the water and normal food.
„You can help me, sit down in the house, or I don’t know fuck off?“ Already having enough of your boyfriend's antics.
At first, Leon, couldn’t think, why his sweet caring boyfriend, became so hard. For a moment, he even believed that your other best friend? Enemy? Frenemy? Beat you in a battle, but if that was the case, you would’ve been devastated.
So he followed you, while you carried a hay bale to one of the barns. Where multiple Taurus, waited for their food, just in the nick of time, as you put the bale down, he engulfed you from behind. Your hand still holding onto the bale, at the rope.
„What is going on?“, he asked again, this time a bit more pressing. Until you broke down. Really broke down, ugly crying and everything. Still holding onto this stupid bale.
But as your anger rise again, you pulled the rope that hold the bale together on its four sizes and ripped it in four. The work on the ranch made you strong.
„I missed you! I fucking missed you! Every day I was so alone, I felt forgotten by you!“, you finally cried, letting the rope fall to the floor, pressing yourself face first in Leon’s shirt.
His heart ached at seeing you like this. So weak, so broken, and all of this, because of his inconsiderate thinking.
„I will not be champion for much longer. Hop is on his journey this year, and-“
„Hop will never become champion. He does not have what you I have. His best friend or boyfriend I should say has a real chance!“
„How do you know this?“
Finally, your tears subsided again. You never were a person to cry at all. „Because I talk to him because we both missed you. And I watched some of his and his boyfriend's matches. They still don’t know that they are made for each other though.“
Leon could only shake his head in wonder how your brain actually works. „Don’t pressure my little brother into a relationship with another person!“, he jokingly told you off.
„So I also shouldn’t pressure Raihan to date someone?“, you asked sheepishly, already knowing that this one was already way too late.
„You didn’t!“, he almost swore at you.
„It is your fault! You weren’t here to stop me!“
He pressed you against his toned body a bit harder, „But I’m here now and I will never let you go again!“
Your heart melted at his declaration of pure love. What you craved for so long, finally happened. Now he only needed to propose. But that could wait, as long as he was yours.
