Joma´s parents were really kind to offer the gecko and his team (whom he considered part of his family) a space to celebrate Christmas together. The chimney emanated a feeling of warmth that relaxed the mood. They had put on the laptop some Christmas carols mixed with their favourite chill-out melodies for the occasion. Noelle and Eon had prepared some cookies and milkshakes, and Verso had surprised everyone with some Christmas clothing: jerseys, scarves, even a tiny Santa hat for Ermes! He put it in one of his ears, making everyone laugh. They had also planned a Secret Santa. They discreetly placed presents under the Christmas tree for their assigned friends. However, the gifts were forgotten as they began talking, sharing anecdotes, and playing board games...
It was a really nice interlude among all the chaos that surrounded them at times. Once more, Joma felt extremely proud of his team: how Eon was laying on Noelle´s lap, and they caressed his head, making him purr, while talking about some of their shenanigans to Ricther, who was smiling knowingly, a rare warm gesture from him that softened the gecko´s heart. Rusty was trying another of his weird food combinations (rice with sour candy? for real?) while listening to Ermes and Verso converse casually about their plans for tomorrow. He couldn´t describe how happy he was to see those two getting along: sometimes they argued too much, but in the end, they truly had the other in high regard.
And so, the night continued. It was early morning when only Verso, Ermes, and Richter remained awake. Rusty was the first to fall asleep, feeling full after the ninth strange meal of the celebration. Noelle and Eon followed soon after. The Sylveon had someone shrank to fit between the Meowscarada and Joma. The gecko was the last one to doze off. He was listening to the conversation until he gradually leaned more on his main Pokémon, and then laying his head on his lap. Verso blushed as he felt the gecko´s touch against his skin, and put a hand on his shoulder, rubbing him softly in an instinctively protective gesture. The gecko sighed happily in his sleep.
"Well, our Joma couldn´t keep up. Lucky us, he has his Verso to take care of him," Ermes teased with a wide-toothed grin. Even if his words could be teasing, his tone was warmer than usual.
Verso didn´t reply instantly. He blushed a bit more, and kept looking at Joma when he replied.
"It´s thanks to him that we are all here. Was it not for him, Rusty would still be trapped within himself. I would be dead. Noelle wouldn´t have the chance to face their inner demons. Eon would have been ok, but knowing how much he loves battling, he would have lost many chances and adventures. Richter..." He looked at him, a bit hesitant, and continued. "... he is also alive thanks to Joma, being able to be who he truly is. I... am sorry I didn´t trust you when others did."
"It´s okay," The Noivern replied calmly. That unusual smile was still accompanying him. "I understood and respected everyone´s opinion on the matter. I am very glad you all decided to give me a chance. I will treasure it forever". He finished in a solemn tone.
Verso nodded.
"And you, Ermes..." He then looked at his rival-friend, who tilted his head. "You would have been trapped in Heliodor city forever. I think I also..." He paused, not finding the right words for his current feelings.
"Oh? You´re gonna confess to the sexy Ermes?" He smirked. "Well, you know my answ-"
"I am being serious," He interrupted him, but not in a harsh way. Ermes kept silent, allowing him to continue. "I think that, despite our differences, you have a gentle side and a kind heart. You care a lot for us, even if you pretend you don´t. And... I will always thank you for your advice."
"What advice?" Richter asked.
Verso looked at him and then glanced at Joma.
"Well... he gave me a push in the right direction when I needed it"
"You make it sound as if I had done the naughty-naughty with you from behind. Not complaining though," Ermes interjected in a whisper, with a playful tone. He rubbed Rusty´s head for a moment, affectionately, making the Garchomp smile in sleep.
Verso didn´t talk back about it. Instead, he kept silent for a moment, caressing Joma´s cheek and simply stated:
"I am thankful you are here. I am thankful we are friends."
Ermes´ eyes widened. He opened his mouth, then closed it. For once, he didn´t have any snarky or teasing reply. He then decided to lie down and stare at the ceiling, his hands behind his head.
"Thank you too. I feel the same," He just said.
Richter observed the two Pokémons, so proud-hearted to allow themselves to give each other the hug they craved for. Of course, none would confess that. But the intentions were there, and that was what mattered.
The Noivern realized how much he missed those moments. Familiar stuff, feelings between friends, the simplicity of a meet-up during a Christmas celebration. He looked at the six other souls that were there for him. Even if it took some time for some, in the end, they accepted him as one of them.
One of them. The feeling of beloning. Such an amazing sensation.
Richter thought that, even if all of them were lucky to be in that room, he was the one who won the lottery.
AMAZING Christmas commission made by ArtllysArt (on Telegram). Took some time, but the result was amazing. I am truly satisfied with it.
This event occurs in a much later moment compared to the chronological time of the main story´s current time of my #JomaPokeverse. However, I foreshadow some stuff that will take place during the main story. Hehe.
Hope you liked the piece
With love
