[OOC: FICCAGE THINGIE]
I'VE ACTUALLY KIND OF BEEN MEANING TO WRITE THIS FOR A WHILE so I'm gonna spam your flits with drabbles too 8'D This is actually the product of Simon-mun and I messing around on AIM and talking about hilarious things in all caps at like 2 in the morning. Trust me. The best ideas are the products of no sleep.
After an entire week of trudging through a path in the middle of the wilderness, all Kaito really wanted to do at this point was pass out on the nearest bed mattress. So when he finally, finally saw the rooftops of Violet City's buildings looming invitingly in the distance, he literally had to restrain himself from leaping for joy. Sweet, sweet civilization. He would never take it for granted again.
Thankfully, once he and Simon had finally passed into the city limits, he had managed to scrounge up enough money for both of them to stay at the Inn for the night. It was a blessing, considering their previous accommodations consisted only of a campfire and a sleeping bag, and a blessing that the magician was more than willing to take.
He hadn't even bothered to unpack once he entered the inn room he was sharing with Simon, opting to collapse heavily onto his still neatly made up bed instead. Dimly, he registered that Simon did something similar on the opposite side of the room, but by now exhaustion had set in so deeply that the world was quickly fading around Kaito as he slowly, but surely, slipped into sleep.
That is, until he started to notice something wiggling suspiciously underneath the blankets of his bed.
Kaito sat up with a frown and stared intently at the lump underneath the covers he was pretty sure wasn't there five minutes ago. Plus, he had been so spent that he hadn't even pulled back the covers, so how the fact that something had managed to sneak into his bed so quickly without him noticing was a feat.
Oblivious to the danger that awaited him (and more concerned with removing whatever it was from his bed so he could get some hard earned sleep already), he pulled back the comforter--
-- to reveal a flopping Magikarp staring intently up at him.
The shriek that followed could be heard all the way from the lobby.
Simon bolted upright in his bed with a surprised yelp. "Kaito--!"
"How the hell did that thing get into my bed!?" The magician had positioned himself tightly into one the corner of the room, hands pressed against the wall as if he was trying to literally will himself to fall through it. He looked, for lack of a better term, quite mortified.
Simon followed his gaze toward the bed, where he found his Magikarp still flopping wildly. He certainly didn't recall letting the Pokémon out of his pokéball... so how had he wriggled his way underneath Kaito's covers?
And... was that Magikarp smiling? And attempting to flop closer to Kaito with every movement?
"... I think he likes you."
"RETURN HIM TO HIS STUPID BALL ALREADY." Kaito grumped. He twitched as the monstrous thing flopped off of the bed and onto the ground, a few inches closer to his goal of reaching Kaito. He could have sworn he witnessed a small, pink heart flutter up from the fish's wriggling form and pop in the air above him, too.
Simon shook his head and returned Magikarp to his pokéball, but he never, ever let Kaito live it down.
It was the beginning of a beautiful one-sided crush... and Kaito's worst nightmare come true.
