Thread: Five Years Later (Ama + Sully)

Lillie's worries seemed to fade the moment that she laid eyes on the familiar, dark haired girl that had been her best friend once upon a time. As soon as the familiar mop of dark hair passed through the door to the Pokemon center, as soon as her soft green gaze landed on Moon's face, the blonde clambered to her feet. There was nothing graceful about it - Lillie just desperately needed to get to her feet so that she could basically run to meet her friend part way. Her white dress swished around her as she moved, something she had changed in to shortly before arriving on land. While back in Kanto she had dressed up in something more durable and appropriate for traveling, it felt safe to spend the first day back in her home dressed light. After all, Kanto and Alola were very different places - and if she had stayed in her normal set of clothes she likely would have felt like she was burning up. Alola, she returned as they were close enough to touch. The word felt foreign on her lips despite the fact that she had grown up with the traditional greeting - at the same time it felt perfectly natural. Then, before she even knew what was going, a pair of arms wrapped tight around her. Everything moved so fast that she audibly gasped, taken by surprise. She was not bothered, though. As soon as Lillie had been able to process what was going on she held on to Moon equally as tight and didn't want to let go. As soon as their bodies touched everything had felt natural, and she didn't need any more time to know that everything was going to be just as it should be. A million years could have passed but the pair of them would still feel thick as thieves, incapable of being anything but good to each other. Her hold lingered. While she wasn't quite crying, Lillie could feel her own eyes clouding up with tears and though she had always been the more timid and emotional of the pair she really, really wanted it to seem like she had grown up and that she was strong and capable and everything that she should be. The fact of the matter simply was that Lillie felt overwhelmed by the wave of emotions that took her over. Moon wasn't the only one who had tried to talk herself out of a crush - but it was only after they had parted that Lillie had realized her own feelings. She had been young and naive - maybe if they had been a little older or a little wiser Lillie would have realized just how much she cared for the woman who was once again in front of her before it was too late. At the same time was there any chance she would have acted on such a feeling? Oh, Moon. I'm so glad to see you, it's been way too long. The blonde squeezed the woman's waist just one more time before she finally gave in and pulled away, though even then it was just enough to be able to look Moon in the face. Her arms stayed wrapped around Moon's waist, hands clasped together, and a wide smile overtook her face. Of course, Lillie had called before she returned and she had spent the last week waiting anxiously for that moment when she would first reunite with her person. It was everything that she wanted it to be. Can I buy you something to drink? Or a malasada? I can't wait to catch up, you have to tell me everything that's happened since I left.
