One day Mr. Lugia is going back to his house and on his way he finds himself with Jirachi the wish maker. Lugia gets annoyed at first knowing how Jirachi is.
“Hey there, lugia!!” Jirachi says in a mischievous tone.
“What do you want, Jirachi…? Can’t you see I’m exhausted?”
“Yeah! And you also look pre-tty bored, like me! So I thought maybe we could have a little fun!”
“(For arceus sake.. why me..) Jirachi seriously, im not in the mood, just tell me what you want..”
“I’m being completely honest with you! Why would I lie to you?”
“…”
we all know that he would lie to him…
“Okayyyyy I get it… but please I swear I’m being honest!”
“I don’t know if I should keep listening to you but… go on”
“YES!!!!!! what should we do? I really expected for you to decide.”
“Wait….cant you just wish to stop being bored..?”
“…”
“…”
“Coffee. We are getting Coffee”
They both walk (Jirachi floats but yk) into the Coffee store and sit on a table near the a window. It’s kinda late so there isn’t much to see.
“Sooo how is it going for you Lugia?” Jirachi says trying to start a conversation.
“Same as always.”
“Okayyyy that’s…. Interesting..!”
“What about you. You don’t look like you do much.”
“Well excuse you! I’m a very occupied pokemon! You know! I! Uhhhhh…. I grant people’s wishes!”
“Uhuh, so that’s everything you do?”
“Well yeah, what else am I supposed to do? I’m the wish maker!”
“Yeahhh you are right”
A waiter went to their table and asked them for their orders.
“Good afternoon, do you want to order?”
“I’ll just have a dark coffee, thank you” answered Lugia
“I’m not that much of a coffee guy. I’ll just have a small sandwich” answered Jirachi
“Okay so that’s all?”
“Yes” both Jirachi and Lugia answered.
“Your orders will be right up!”
The waiter leaves and they continue chatting.
“for arceus sake, Lugia… how can you drink a dark coffee, those things taste disgusting”
Lugia got closer to Jirachi. Which caught Jirachi by surprise.
“Jirachi. Look at me in the eyes and look if I care.”
Jirachi is now blushing (and Lugia doesn’t seem to notice??????) and gets closer to Lugias face.
“Oh I’m sorry! I was just curious on how could you stand that awful taste” Jirachi says taunting Lugia
“The way I can stand you!” Lugia answered with a smile in his face knowing what he had said.
“How dare you!!!!!!! I thought we were having fun..!” Jirachi sounded very offended.
The waiter came back and gave them their orders.
“here is your dark coffee..and here is your sandwich.”
Jirachi and Lugia separated from each other.
“thank you” said Lugia in a nice tone.
“thank.you.” Said Jirachi looking at Lugia still offended by what he said.
“Enjoy!” Said the waiter.
And the waiter leaves again noticing the tension between Jirachi and Lugia.
“OKAY SO WHAT WAS THAT.”
“What? You can’t accept the truth” said Lugia smugly.
“I thought we were actually becoming something!”
“Something?”
“FRIENDS!! Whatever!!”
“…”
“I didn’t think you would get so offended… it was just a joke”
“Yeahhh I might be over exaggerating”
“You are”
“…”
“Are you gonna eat that sandwich because if you don’t want it you can give it to me”
“Of course I’m eating you fatty”
“…” Lugia just stared at him
“Okay. My bad.”
Lugia takes a drink of his dark coffee and looks out the window.
“Can I have some?”
“Didn’t you say that you couldn’t stand coffee at all?”
“I just want to try a little”
“Well okay, but if you don’t like it, don’t you dare spit it on me”
Jirachi takes the cup of coffee and drinks a little bit from where Lugia put his mouth.
“ew what the fuck is this”
“Jirachi are you stupid by any chance”
“I told you I was just gonna try it”
“You might be in the same class as my students and I can assure you that they are all morons. (Specially Tepig)”
Jirachi ate his sandwich and Lugia took his coffee. Lugia still looking out the window.
Jirachi stared at Lugia directly without changing his view. Lugia noticed.
“Is there anything you want to tell me, Jirachi?”
Jirachi hesitated
“Yeah…. “I think I do.”
Lugia turned fully toward him now, his expression unreadable.
“Then say it.”
“I know I’m annoying. I know I mess around a lot. But I like being around you. Even when you’re grumpy and sarcastic and drink disgusting coffee.”
Lugia blinked.
“That’s not really a compliment.”
“I’m not trying to compliment you!” Jirachi snapped, then sighed. “I’m trying to say that… I feel better when I’m with you.”
Lugia stared at him for a long moment, then looked back out the window.
“You’re weird.”
“I know.”
“But you’re not the worst.”
Jirachi looks up.
“Wait, was that a compliment?!”
“Don’t push it.”
They sat in silence for a bit, the tension easing. Lugia took another sip of his coffee, then slid the cup toward Jirachi without looking.
“Try again. Maybe you’ll grow a brain cell.”
Jirachi giggled and took a sip, grimacing again.
“Nope. Still tastes like regret.”
Lugia smirked.
“Exactly why I drink it.”
Jirachi got closer, Lugia didn’t move away.
“…So, friends?” Jirachi asked quietly.
Lugia didn’t answer right away. Then, with a sigh, he muttered
“Yeah. Friends.”
Jirachi smiled, eyes glowing faintly.
“Cool. I’ll make a wish for us to stay that way.”
“Don’t you dare.”
They both laughed, and for once, the coffee store felt warm.
