Yuri. Beautiful Yuri.
There's not a day that doesn't pass by that I don't think about you, mi amor.
You were a 'mon like no other. A Shiftry in species, but no flower could ever bloom that could match the beauty of your smile, your wit, your passion to see others grow.
I still remember when we first met. You were the leader of Team Dynamax, though you never saw yourself as a fighter, and "lover" didn't fit the criteria until much later in life. No, you instead aspired to preach of the beauty of life, the arts, the world around you. The reason you named your team "Dynamax" to begin with was because you wanted to let the world know of your words as explosively as possible, even if it meant doing it with fists raised and the broadest of smiles.
That flamboyant personality of yours. I couldn't help but admire it...and so much more.
Not that I could admit to it at the time. Back then....no, even nowadays, we were so different from each other. Comparatively speaking, my wish was so miniscule, so insignificant -- I wanted to follow my childhood dream of becoming part of the Monchan Boxing League. I was also a very small, very shy Shroomish, with many insecurities that still linger to this day, long after my youth and former form had left me.
And lest I forget...I was a boy, much like you were. Logic dictated that I shouldn't have seen you with the love I did. I thought it was pointless to love a man, so I was lead to believe. But one day, and Arceus knows I'm never going to forget this...one day, you made a speech that was supposed to get everyone on in the group fired up, but had a far different effect on me when you said it. You said, and I quote, "We shouldn't have to care about picking the right path or the path we're supposed to follow. What matter is that we walk a path and we keep walking. So what if we trip or the path is thorny. You got to walk. You got to keep walking. Sooner or later, your path will start making sense and will lead you someplace awesome."
A silly bit of pep talk in retrospect, but on that day, something in me stirred all the same. It made me speak up to you after class. It made me talk to you how I felt. And to my amazement, you smiled at my words...and at me. And you agreed.
I'd be lying if I said it was all roses after that. Our team disbanded and for a while after graduation, there was fear that we'd never see each other again. But as luck would have it, we both managed to get in the same university. You started your career in social science while I still struggled to decide on my path in life besides mere boxing. We made new friends, key among them being a charming shiny Gardevoir lady named Destine who was studying to take a teaching career. Heh. Is it wrong that some of my favorite memories of you include all the times you and Destine fought? You two were so alike in how passionate you got about things, it was rather charming.
...oh, Yuri. The day you asked me to marry you. My heart was so conflicted. Being with you made me unbelievably happy, but I just could not give up my dream! What a fool I was, a stubborn fool! And yet...even that's not as bad as what happened on that day.
The day when I heard that you had collapsed in the middle of a lecture while I was in the Monchamp Boxing League tryouts. I sacrificed my chance at getting a spot to run to the hospital to be on your side, but I'll be damned if I wouldn't do it again in a heartbeat! That infernal illness...you had it for so long and yet you never told me about it. What were you thinking? Why did you hide it? Why are you gone from my life?!
...I know you, though. I know you wouldn't have wanted me to dwell on that. You'd want me to think of the good times and to "follow my path".
Well...I suppose I did that. For one, I work for Destine, now. She never did become a teacher. She became a mother of twins to a wealthy 'mon who's more Ghost type than anything else, as the scoundrel went and disappeared when his family needed him the most. I despise the 'mon...and yet, his wife and children? I cannot help but love them with all my heart. They are family to me.
Still, though...I still miss you, Yuri. Beautiful Yuri. May you forever walk the path towards happiness.
Some sketches with a story to tell. This story's a sort of extended version of the one found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17925969/
