KyuHyun had left Zhou Mi alone for five minutes. Five minutes. He hadn't expected the world to go to hell while he was gone restocking on supplies, but apparently with Zhou Mi it could.
"KUI XIAN!" Came the panicked yell from outside. Slinging his back over his shoulder and thinking Zhou Mi had kicked an Oddish in the head again (he'd freaked out so badly you'd think he'd decapitated it), KyuHyun left the Pokemart and was nearly accousted by Zhou Mi.
Who was clutching his wounded Chikorita to his chest like squeezing it to death would heal it.
"...God dammit Mi, what did you do?" KyuHyun asked the other man, wincing as he looked over the scrapes and cuts. Chikorita was whimpering pitifully.
"I didn't do anything, I swear!" Zhou Mi's eyes were wide and glassy. "What do I do?!"
"Stop standing around crying for one, there's a Pokemon Center on the other side of town, let's go." KyuHyun grabbed his hapless boyfriend's hand and pulled him in that direction. Zhou Mi started running and he had no choice but to run to catch up, cursing the older man's long legs.
Reaching the Center, KyuHyun followed Zhou Mi inside and up to the counter, the distraught man babbling a mile a minute. Nurse Joy seemed to have absolutely no idea what he was saying from the expression on her face (Mi's accent was thick when he was panicking), but the state of the Chikorita didn't need any explanation.
"Follow me, we'll prepare a bed for her," Nurse Joy said, stepping out from around the counter. Zhou Mi hurried to follow her, accidentally jostling the other man standing by the counter and making him drop a pokeball. It was testimony to how panicked Zhou Mi was that he didn't even stop to apologize.
Some time later, they were sitting by Chikorita's tiny bed, KyuHyun patting Zhou Mi's back as the older man sniffled. Nurse Joy had left when there was a large explosion from outside. "Now, are you going to tell me what happened?"
"I feel like such an idiot," Zhou Mi sniffled, looking at his wounded Pokemon. "I was just going around looking at everything, and found a large tree to sit under to wait for you. It was covered with honey, a-and there were bug Pokemon inside it!" Zhou Mi hated bugs. "A bunch of Beedrills got angry and came after me and Chikorita took them all on."
That would explain the angry-looking stings on the grass Pokemon, KyuHyun mused. "Well now you know to stay away from trees with honey on them."
"That isn't the point," Zhou Mi wailed. "I'm the worst trainer ever!"
"Mi, you're not a trainer, you get heartbroken at the idea of Pokemon fighting," KyuHyun rolled his eyes.
"Then I'm the worst person ever," the older man leaned forward, one hand lightly against the glass dome surrounding the tiny bed Chikorita was on. "She shouldn't have had to fight for me, I never wanted her to fight."
"No, but things happen," KyuHyun sighed, leaning back in his seat. "You should be happy you have such a loyal friend."
"I am happy," Zhou Mi shook his head. "I just...I don't want to do that fighting thing, Kui Xian. That isn't me."
"Then enter her in a Contest and win a few ribbons," KyuHyun shrugged. "I've seen how you fawn all over those things on TV. We're heading to the big cities, why not?"
Zhou Mi looked up at KyuHyun with wide eyes. "But those are all professionals, I'm just a country bumpkin."
"Everyone has to start somewhere," KyuHyun shrugged. "And since you're insisting on following me everywhere, you might as well keep yourself occupied."
The older man's lip quivered. "You really think I can win?"
"Why not? -ack!" KyuHyun choked as he was glomped. "Mi, elbow in the throat."
"I'm sorry," Zhou Mi pouted. "I'll kiss it better." He ducked his head and pressed kisses to KyuHyun's throat.
KyuHyun groaned quietly when Zhou Mi didn't stop. "Mi, if you keep doing that, can we at least move to a hotel room or something?"
"Okay," Zhou Mi beamed. "After Chikorita wakes up. I don't think she'd like waking up to her parents making out."
"...You better not have her convinced we're her parents."
