Thread: Pokemon: A Trainer's Crutch (LilGunner/BennyQ)

Kaya hadn't been thinking outside of simply wanting to shower and soak for a little. It had been a busy day and a relaxing soak sounded amazing. Not just that but her hair smelled a little of lake. The showers at Pokemon centers usually had indicators on the doors to announce occupancy. Somehow she entirely forgot that homes didn't have such devices. A little mentally absent and blithely unaware she pulled the handle and pushed the door open. No knock, no warning. First it was the steam at hit her and broke her out of the single-mindedness of desiring a wash and soak. She blinked and her eyes refocused forward only to meet with a pair of steely, blue-grey eyes. Her entire body froze up as she stared at Aydin. All but naked, clutching the small towel around his hips. Kaya's eyes swept from his wet hair, clinging to the sharp, handsome planes of his face down to his lean, surprisingly defined body, all the way to his toes. Then all the way back up, several times in fact. The first sweep brought a red tinge to her face, the color deepening after every glance. His teasing comment broke her out of the rigid, nearly fascinated, shock. She met his eyes again, her ears hotter than Rapidash's mane. At some point her heart had completely halted but when it came back its pace tripled, pumping more and more hot blood through her ears face face. All the while her face retained the frozen shock. Hand still on the handled she very suddenly, swung the door back, slamming it shut. I'm so sorry! She managed to squeakily shout through the closed door. Mortified. Kaya hadn't a clue what to do. Go bother with dinner some more, hide in her room, run outside and jump in the lake? Unable to decide she leaned against the wall next to the door, burying her face into her folded towel. Her ears rang with the furiously throbbing blood racing through them. Everything was only made worse as the image seemed burned into her eyes. In the semi-darkness of her face smashed into the towel all she could see was Aydin. Not unpleasant but she couldn't see her boss like that! So inappropriate! Kaya groaned into the towel, willing the image away. Stubborn as her Gloom. This was ridiculous, she needed to get a grip. It was an accident, not like she had ever even thought...and she wasn't a peeping tom either. When Aydin finished she managed to pull her face from her towel but could hardly look at him. She muttered another apology before skittering into the bathroom. Time. She just needed time to calm down. First a shower. The hot water was soothing but didn't help her still furious blush. Even with her eyes open she could still see the image. Kaya rubbed her face with a growl and vigor. Stop it, stop it, stop it, she muttered to herself. In all her years of travel she hadn't run across someone like Aydin. Well, perhaps not totally true, she had just never paused to consider anyone. Never staying in one place for long and with no one but her Pokemon for a companion she had never really looked at anyone that way. Certainly never saw a man in a towel. Such an attractive man in a towel. For a recluse he certainly had a nice physique. Stop it, stop it, stop it, she growled to herself once again. That's your boss, idiot! Kaya ended up taking a far longer shower than intended, spending more time agonizing over the incident and berating herself for thinking of her boss in such a way, that she opted to forgo the soak. She'd stood under the hot water long enough before even realizing she was there to wash. Finally she was squeaky clean and stepped out to dry, taking care to wring out and dry her hair as much as possible. Rather than walk out in a towel she redressed in her clean turtle neck and leggings, intending to wash the hoodie and shorts that evening. She really needed more clothes. As she left the washroom she desperately hoped Aydin might just go back to whatever it was he did while she looked after the Pokemon. The last thing she wanted was to face him, at least for a while. At least until she could get her rampant, lewd thoughts reigned in.
