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

Maybe the joke was inappropriate and in bad taste. Kaya, flushed redder than any ripe apple, could barely keep her composure it seemed. It made Aydin think there might be something embarrassing about his body. Was he too skinny? Too small? Maybe she didnt even play for that team. He couldnt do anything with his hands, not to usher her out or assure her it was okay, for otherwise the towel would slip off his body and expose it all. Now that would be bad. This was already bad. An employee of his had seen him half naked! And it would be his fault, forgetting to lock the doors. He never had to before! He was about to voice an apology when Kaya suddenly backed out and shut the door, apologizing herself. It was then that the cooler airs of the bathroom began to kiss his body after the hot shower. Moving to the door, he listened a moment before locking it with a click that sounded just a bit too loud for his ears. He immediately sighed and rubbed his face, letting the towel drape off a little more. He looked to the foggy mirror and wondered a moment what this would mean. This little bit of awkwardness might kill her employment and leave him stuck again. Why was she so red? Embarrassed? Or something else? That was too good to be thought of as true for Aydin though. They had only known each other a short day at most. He finished drying, brushing his teeth, and wrapped a bigger towel around himself, before exiting out the door. He found Kaya nearby, her face in the towel. You can go in now. He said and stood aside as she rushed in, apologizing again. No, it wasnt her fault he had been lax and stuck in habit. No one lived here with him before so he never had a reason to lock doors! Well that would have to change, if she stuck around after that. He hoped she would. He wasnt that bad to look at? But in comparison to who? Her? She was gorgeous to look at. He went to his room, got dressed in dress pants and a tucked in collared shirt, with a sleeveless sweater-vest atop, undid at the neck. Then he went downstairs to prep dinner and await Kayas return. He had to have a talk with her before this got ruined. Or made better. Aydin had to mentally chide himself to stop thinking that way about her. She was beautiful and attractive, intelligent too, but there were rules and standards to keep as employer-employee. What man couldnt fantasize though? He was chopping up vegetables, mostly carrots, garlic, and small bits of other greens, with some potatoes to skin later for a hot stew, when Kaya finally did come. Unfortunately her room was on the other side of the kitchen from the stairs. He had put out a dish of candy for Nidorina and Kayas Pikachu to enjoy, while his Magneton floated behind the electric-typemuch like a creepy stalker, drawn to the electric currents around Pikachu. Oh great, does he get it from me? Aydin worried and still had that frown when Kaya arrived. It had nothing to do with her but it might appear that way. He turned to her and gave her a slight bow, hands at his side. Ms. MurasakinoI should apologize for that. Habit of living alone for so long I just dont get in the habit of locking doors around here. Not many people around and I dont think most Pokemon have a concept of private space anyways. He said, politely and formally, giving a little chuckle as he straightened up. I hope this wont affect our friendship. He turned back to his chopping, his hand moving the knife a little slowly. He wasnt a pro cooker but he knew enough to get by. Im hope youre hungry. Im making stew today- he said, before cutting himself off with a little gasp. The knife came too near to his finger. No blood though, thankfully. But it hurt like a pinch. He simply shook his fingers and started again. I figure since you made lunch, I could handle the evening meal. Taking care of me was never a part of the deal so Id like to return the favor. He said, hoping the small talk might help put Kaya at ease. How was your day with the Pokemon? No explosions, craters, or knocked over trees as far as I can see. At least not what was already there before you came.
