Chapter Text
Everyone has someone they look up to. Whether it’s Lance, or Steven, or Cynthia, it’s good to have a role model. And some of us are lucky enough to get close to their role models.
“Here! Down in Goldenrod, you can always find somethin’ yummy to eat. Lyra, look.”
My eyes scanned the food carts that were around, not far from Whitney’s Gym. Takoyaki, taiyaki, teriyaki, beef skewers. All the delicious and savory meats were around. But I’m a girl who’s watching her figure, so I go for the kebab that had some pork and veggies on it. Whitney and I took a seat by a near-by bench. She got the dango; she always did have a sweet tooth.
“Oh man, today’s real bustlin’! I haven’t seen it this busy since they reopened the Pokeathelon after having it closed for renovations.”
The kebab tasted pretty good, but I was just so busy watching Whitney. She looked at each and every single person who passed by. Many of them waved back at us. She was really popular and all, but she really seemed to know each person who passed by. She really cared for this city, y’know.
“Hi Mrs. Blather! Hi Mr. Kenny! Hey Lois! Yeah, I’ll be at the Gym tomorrow! No it won’t be a problem! You should try the teriyaki and let me know how it is!”
Here I was, just sitting with my cute little hat, enjoying my kebab. I just kept watching her. Enamored. Whitney was so athletic, so skilled in battling, and yet so cute. To me, she was the perfect woman. The Dynamite Pretty Gal. Sure was.
“Ah! That was some yummy dango. Anyways Lyra, wanna go fi-” She stopped when she turned to look at me. She must’ve noticed I was staring at her for the past few minutes straight. She collected herself and giggled. That giggle was like a ringing noise going off in my head. But in a good way, y’know?
“Lyra.” She just smiled at me. I couldn’t help but blush a bit, and my emotions got the better of me that I tugged my hat down and blushed. I felt like I was Red or something, I could hardly speak.
Whitney then, with all the coolness of a cucumber, took my hat and put it up against my cheek. She then kissed me, right on the lips. Then she was spinning my hat around her finger like that plumber boy from that game Ethan plays all the time.
“Now that I have your attention; wanna get some milkshakes together?”
I smiled brightly and nodded. I’m so glad that the person I look up to is also my girlfriend.
