-- The following is a canonical segment of Chapter 11 of the fanfic 'A Soul of Steel' and is meant to be read as the fully intended scenario of what occurs. --

- - - - - Hulbury - - - - -
- - - - - Near Nessa's Home, 7:55pm - - - - -

Haru decided to not just shuffle his entire team of Pokemon before heading over to Nessa's: keeping the reasoning behind his team secret from anyone curious that he met up earlier. Before getting to her place he had to make a stop by his home to get his portable computer and clothing since he would probably end up staying up late while over Nessa's overnight. The two were comfortable enough with each other that such a thing became commonplace for them.
"Goji, I know she said 8pm and we're running a bit behind compared to my usually early self but it's fine. We managed to get some stuff for tomorrow morning." He spoke to his buddy Pokemon, who was tossing a rock in place while walking with his trainer. Goji looked at him, smiling.
"Ah wait..." Haru stopped walking in the middle of the street, looking absentminded to the distance. "Did I feed Nora and the others? Yes, I did. Okay sorry!"
Haru shakes his head, trying to relax a bit. His mind had been overwhelmed with the activity of the past few days since the announcement of the Gym, and what occurred with Hop that he found himself second guessing every mundane activity that occurred. The streets were mostly clear at that time of the evening. Haru noticed that the booths he once saw were gone are now back with newly restocked herbs and local items being sold. Of course at this time of the evening a few were closing down so the owners could go back to their homes, so Haru made a mental note to go have a chin wag with them when he could catch them possibly the next morning. A few of the Hulbury locals wave to him, with one kid who was piggyback riding on their parent excitedly calling to Haru.
Going down the street where Nessa's home was located, him and his fire starter would stop in their tracks when someone familiar appears across from them on the sidewalk. The sound of a Corviknight-flown Air Taxi is heard landing in the distance as tension suddenly got so thick it could be cut with a knife.
Standing before them was the ever familiar appearance of a long black haired girl with a Champion League hat, pink leggings, Eevee graphic shirt, and dark blue jacket.
"It's been awhile...Haru." Syra spoke coldly, frozen in place and looking at him.
Haru decides to keep his glance on Syra just as intensely as before, before briefly putting a hand to the 5 PokeBalls on his waistline, with Goji being the possible 6th on the off chance he's needed. "So it has been. Good evening to you. Been well?"
"Yup. Guess you could say that. Waiting for the upcoming Pools has given me a lot of time to enjoy myself and build up for the inevitable future I shall carve for myself." She'd state, nodding to her waistline that held several balls of her Pokemon team at the moment.
Goji and Haru exchange glances, as Haru folds his arms. "It's a bit earlier than what you said as per the timeframe we'd meet and fight again, but I suppose fate can be funny sometimes. What has you out here in Hulbury at this time of night?"
"Hmm. Just doing some cleaning up on my team that I'm going to use that will be your official defeat in the League Tournament. Meanwhile, I wouldn't mind slapping some of your team about for a bit. Maybe you'll learn a bit more. I say you could use some humility." She spoke with an air of confidence, sticking her chest forward.
"Well I do love the song by the same name." he joked.
She didn't take the joke well enough and shouts. "Lay off of the swagger, false idol! Bring out your team and face me!"
Haru shifts a bit so he's facing her from the side. For once he was finding it a little difficult to just shrug off her attitude. /Must she always be this tense around me? Seriously, I can't even crack one light rib around her./
"You know, you sure speak a lot of victory and love to talk a big game, but you don't exactly strike me yet as someone who has their eyes on the things that matter."
"The hell is that supposed to mean??! I beat you once before, I'll be able to do it again, you know." She'd proclaim, with Haru just putting both of his arms down to their sides.
"'The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.'" He spoke with conviction, never breaking his eyes from the girl who stood before him.
The phrase itself made one of Syra's eyes twitch. "You saying I'm too weak to take you down? That I got lucky? Don't insult me: I'm not the same girl that I was before, and I already have a victory over you."
Goji had to take a step back. The last time he saw his master act this serious without a single comedic quip in his bones was in dealing with Chairman Rose, Eternatus, and fighting Leon. "That's not at all what I'm implying. Syra, I'm saying that anyone who constantly has to be boasting about trying to win, and talks so much about doing so is open to a big downfall themselves. What comes up, must eventually come down. I trust that you're a very excellent trainer and you may just actually defeat me, but Pokemon battling isn't just about numbers! Look, you seem really talented and may shut me up one day."
There's a gust of wind that blows by the two, as some passersby notice Haru having a standoff with Syra and talking to her. "...but that ego that you have may make you too blind to see the forest through the trees. I've seen you battle up close, but you appear to be letting it get to you. Don't let it. I want to face you when you're focused. Calm."
Syra slumped a bit, then leaned back with a glare so intense it could stab him. "So is this why you say stupid shit in interviews like 'don't trust the tiers'? I watched that broadcast, Haru. I watch all of them. Why you're so cocky when being provoked about the variety of Pokemon and who to actually use? Why you're so arrogantly pushing some narrative that since you got lucky with your combinations you'll win even over the best?"

He winced. The way she worded that managed to finally start to irritate him, if even a little. His right hand goes to his forehead in exasperation. "What....what is your angle?! I can't figure you out!"
The girl gave a giggle as if one saw a predator locking onto their prey. "Trust me. I'm a rather simple person in the end. If you truly must know: I've been nothing short of focused this entire time I've been in the Gym Challenge with you as my endgame."
A gust of wind blows again as a sizeable crowd has gathered around. Some people in their homes were wondering what the conversation going outside their windows was coming from, only to see Haru having a staredown with some girl who was not only smacktalking him but putting him off his guard. At this point in time, people were used to the idea that if Nessa was brought up in a topic he may skirt the subject since he liked keeping their relationship private, but that she was the only female that would be able to make him visibly sweat. Now, there's another: the only challenger who repeatedly met him and went out of her way to make a statement.

"Well I hope saying all that made you feel better. You've held me up for some time but I've been needing to get somewhere for a bit now. Now if you'll excuse me, my beloved is waiting for me." Haru spoke, gesturing with his head with Goji. His glance goes to the people that had centered around him and Syra. "Sorry folks, you all don't get to see my parlor tricks tonight." The two would walk towards her and with the intention to pass Syra.
The instant the two crossed paths, she turns to him, cupping her hands together like a megaphone as Haru walked away. "So, the Champion publicly turns down an offer for a fight against a Challenger then because of it not going up to your standards? What kind of man are you even if you're not ready to prove yourself? Who cares if this is too early? Who gives a shit about your 'perspective' on tiers or your 'heart' with your team? You know how many people actually care? I'll give you a hint: the number is a lot smaller than you think! You plowed the whole Gym Challenge easily, and now all you wanna do is just be too choosey with your time? What, am I not good enough for your time? Do you honestly think that walking away from a problem would make Nessa proud of the person you are; who knew she'd date a weakling!"
Haru had paused, not looking at Syra but giving the body language that he acknowledged what she said but simply did not care. He took a few steps forward before Syra threw in a gut punch. At this point in the confrontation, some of the locals were starting to talk amongst themselves, with a few questioning if this was the same Syra they saw in the challenge at all. To them, she seemed way more aggressive outside of the stadium than everywhere else.
"...Or is Nessa the only thing you've been able to 'plow' nowadays, Haru, instead of numbers of wins?"
Immediately everyone within ear range of them gasped or 'Oooh'd. Haru froze solid, felt his heart racing as the statement alone caused Goji himself to turn back immediately to her. Goji's face goes back and forth between Syra and Haru,; the Cinderace going into in a slight panic from whatever Haru was going to do next. The expression on Haru's face had not changed at all compared to before, but his presence was now filled with a level of conviction not ever sense before. To Syra, it was as if staring back at a titan: being completely overshadowed by something. A part of her wonders if her commentary has gone too far...but then chooses to ignore that sign by going for another punch.
"I would be shamed to be paired up with someone who had no balls, honestly." Syra spoke again, locking eyes as now she felt a new, unforseen surge of lightning clashing with her. Even staring into what felt like a fire, her conscious instictively told her to not let up.
His eyes had fire in them, and felt like he was pissed off, even if he physically showed that he wasn't. "Don't. You. EVER. Speak of Nessa like that, Syra. EVER!". Slowing his mind down and taking a moment to count to 20, Haru closes his eyes then looks at Syra. "You wanna do this, then? Okay. You have 3 Pokemon on you? Fine. I'll give you your match."
One of her hands made a fist; clenching it tightly. "Good!"
She'd blink in disbelief when he had brought out his phone instead of a PokeBall in silence and started tapping away on it and getting several small speakers that would have been used for his computer from one of the bags he carried. "Uh....what the hell are you doing?"
Haru looks up to her while on the ground. "Oh. Well, see, Loudreds aren't allowed here in the Galar Region so-"
"I'm asking you why you aren't starting the match and are bringing out speakers. What, do you think this is some coffee shop?! I don't give a damn about you wanting a Loudred!" Syra fires back, clearly annoyed.
"Well, I'm a Champion, but I have no Gym or Stadium to call me own necessarily. But we can't have such a battle without music, now can we?" He would state nonchalantly while browsing his phone's library.
"ARE YOU OFF YOUR TROLLEY?!??! What barmy wanker has to set up something like this with battle music?! You're a fucking professional! Just take your bloody Pokemon out and lets get this started already!!!" She yells at him, twitching and a blood vessel in her forehead seen clear as day. Syra got so angry that her dialect kicked in without meaning to, growling while shaking with irritation at Haru. A few people who were watching this go down laugh to themselves at the humor seen with Haru taking a step back to set up the spot. Kneeling down and finding just the track on his phone, he snaps his fingers.
He's seen comically trying to dig wax out of his ears as if Syra was shouting so loud it hurt him. "Hey Hey Hey! You can't undersell the importance of ambience, and for this I'm not going to just use the music the Gym Leaders use, nor am I going to use the music my own battle would use against you or anyone else. You know people who play video games sometimes compete in official leagues by bringing headphones? Anyways, when it comes to us battling, I have this nifty tune by someone who did a cover in tribute to the ol' Champion named Steven!"
"Steven? The Steel Champion from Hoenn?" she asks.
"Yup. The very same." Haru stood up, stretching a little before taking one of the balls on his waist and sighing. He turns over to her and Syra actually feels a shiver go from her shoulders to her neck and down her back. The way he looks back at her is the kind of feeling that seems to match her own spirit as Haru holds the ball outwards and holds the pose.
"Well then, Syra. You've done nothing but talk the talk. You caught me off guard last time and beat me fair and square. To be honest, I think I actually may feel a little sorry on how this may go down. Then again, you invited it on yourself by insulting Nessa right in front of me. You want to know what a proper Champion fight with me feels like? You got one. Come at me!"
At that second, his Goji tapped on the screen as the song began to play, with the few people watching admittedly a bit excited to see Haru battling outside at this hour with another trainer. Syra smirks, panting a little in excitement.
"I'm going to wipe that smug grin off your face, Champ!"
"Go Guts!"
"Go Alphonse!"
Haru throws a ball with a Perrserker popping out, with a Haxorus following suit from Syra's end. The anger and agitation that Haru had from the commentary of earlier faded completely and he's in the 'zone in a much more zen-like state compared to last time.
Haru throws an arm out as the music fuels the fire burning with him. "Guts, use Iron Tail!" with the Meowth-lookalike Pokemon shrieking, lunging at the larger Pokemon with a steel-like tail attack. Syra tries to get her Pokemon to avoid it but it takes the damage, as her annoyance has her clicking a tongue in response.
"Alphonse, use Rock Tomb: bury that Pokemon alive in the battle!" Syra calls out.
Her Haxorus starts throwing boulders at the Perrserker and just as hard as it was hit by Perrserker's move does it hit back. Not as much as she'd like, but noticed that the move by itself slowed Haru's Pokemon down. It was enough for her to move in for another attack. "Go with another one and give that Perrserker a Rock Slide why don't you?!"
Once again boulders are hurled at the Perrserker but in a different enough fashion that the move hit its target. Usually it would have a chance of flinching, but Syra sees that Haru's Pokemon shrugs it off like it was nothing.
"Guts, you know exactly what to do. Use Payback!" He shouts, gesturing with a definitive point. The Perrserker calls out, and rams the move in a manner so explosive of a hit that the Haxorus falls over a few times into the street. Syra notices that its hit points go all the way to nothing, and she retrieves it. Haru retrieves his Perrserker and she looks back at him.
/Son of a bitch, he got one on me. NO matter, I still have two left. I have to give him credit for this much at least!/
"C'mon Goji, get in there!"
"Go Koopa!"
Goji was called into action and hops over rather excitedly as a large Ludicolo appears in front of him. There's a moment in Haru's shock that for the first time in awhile his Cinderace is slower, as Syra calls out the move. "Koopa give that Cinderace a wash with a piping hot Scald attack!"
Normally avoiding such a move wouldn't be a problem for Goji, but unfortunately his star pupil of a Pokemon tanks the hit and Haru sees that for once, his defense not being the highest for a starter would be a problem. Syra laughs haughtly. "Ho do you like that? Another hit and you're not going to survive this one, 'champ'!"
Haru looks nonplussed and has faith since he knows of the trick up his sleeve. "Goji, give the nice Ludicolo over there a Pyro Ball!" to which Goji excitedly sets aflame to a rock he had handy, kicking it around like a hackey sack, and sending it flying to the Pokemon that it faced. The audience cheered as the Ludicolo is set ablaze instantly and its hit points go to nothing immediately.
Syra's seen sweating, grunting in annoyance.
Haru rubs his nose a little. "I'll be honest, Syra, that was a bit hairy for me. But Goji had a certain ability that lets him power up drastically should his health be under one third of his total hit points." he gestures Goji to withdraw and looks back at Syra with a smirk. "Too bad for you."

- - - - - Inside Nessa's Home - - - - -
"Where the hell is Haru? He's late. I thought he'd be here by now and he's not answering..." Nessa says, in a slightly worried tone, talking to her newly adopted Sobble, Ami. Getting a hunch that told her to take a look outside, she's seen exiting her home and happening upon the scene that was unfolding.
Her eyes narrow, trying to catch who it was he was talking to and battling against in the dark. /Oh, he was here but...hey wait a minute../
-
"This match isn't over yet!" Syra yells as the two locate a Pokemon on their belts to use then throw one out at the same time.
"Go Sly!"
"Go Nia!"
Haru's brought out a Thievul, who stares down almost in boredom at the opposing Espeon across from its location. A few people who are fans of Syra's battles take to cheering her on a bit, though it doesn't seem to be working. Despite this, she calls out a move. "Nia, Bite that garbage across from you!" her command rung out, while the petite Pokemon latches onto the Thievul sinking its teeth into the others' fur with a hard Bite, as Haru sees the attack causes Sly to stop moving.
"Hey Sly you okay? Come on, get in there!" He calls to the mischevious fox-like Pokemon.
"Nia, give it another Bite! Make him flinch again so he can't get in another attack!" Syra calls out in a booming voice. Sly tries to dodge the move but is tackled down and bitten again. Sly's hit points are nearly zero, but Haru exhales a sigh of relief when the fox is able to move finally.
"Sly I'd say this battle needs some Assurance, don't you? Go and use that move!" Haru shouts back. Immediately, Sly hops into action sending the Dark attack straight at the Espeon who takes the hit rather poorly and collapses.
At this point the battle music that was playing amongst them finishes and Haru retrieves the final Pokemon that he was using in the battle. Syra looks completely shaken up, looking back at him. Haru stood before her as if the same person she completely trumped easily the first time wasn't the same person that floored her whole team in victory over hers. To be fought back so hard that she lost without even a single point in the whole battle shook her to her core.
"Haru!!" Nessa pipes up, emerging from the crowd of people who were applauding, smiling widely from watching him fight on the sidelines.
The seriousness in his expression disappeared completely when he hears her calling to him and smiles. Haru looks to Nessa, with a bit of a blush. "Sorry I'm late, hon. Just got caught up you know?"
The two embrace openly, with Nessa not caring she's standing in between him and Syra in the post-battle moment. "I thought you were in trouble or something but it seems I came across a certain kind of other scene entirely."
"Guess you could say that, hmm." His face goes back to Syra and walks to her, extending a hand. "Hey."
Syra looks up at him, while biting her lip and tears forming at the corner of her eyes. "Hmm?"
"I'm eager to see how you'll get even better next time when we fight in the League Tournament. But in the future? Leave Nessa out of it." seeing that she got upset from the fight, Haru wanted to make amends with her. Syra just slaps his hand away and looks at him and Nessa. Nessa doesn't look pleased with the way she reacted.
"A loss right here isn't worthwhile! C'mon! 2 out of 3, let's go! I don't accept that loss! You cheated somehow, admit it!" Syra yells at him right in front of everyone, grabbing him by the collar, causing Haru to actually lose his balance due to Syra's raw strength.
Haru's eyes widen, his anxiety spikes a bit since this is the first time he physically feels what her strength is behind that body of hers. "Hey what the hell?! Let me go!"

In Nessa's eyes there's a brief flash when she recalls seeing Haru being roughed up by some thug looking man in the outdoor markets when she was hanging out with Bea. Back then neither her nor Bea were there at the 'Ground Zero' of the conflict, nor was she dating Haru. Now? She was right there seeing it happen. Time had barely passed in the act alone before Nessa had run over and shoved Syra away, readjusting Haru's top and looking back at the girl. It took a heavy shove to do it but Syra stumbles back, noticeably pissed and tried to go for an actual physical attack again: stopped when Nessa stood in front of her.
Her face was furious, and no longer giving the benefit of the doubt from prior encounters. "You know Syra you've got some fucking nerve putting your hands on him like that!"
Syra clicks her tongue in annoyance, with Nessa now walking to the girl, not waiting for Haru or anyone else to say anything. If standing in front of Haru in full 'battle mode' was enough to feel like facing a titan, Syra finally got a taste of the surname why Nessa was called 'The Raging Wave' as the woman spoke in a lower voice. "Go ahead. Throw that punch you were about ready to do. I almost dare you. But if I catch you doing that or anything else again to him? I'll make sure everyone hears about it, and authorities will be alerted. The League. Your family. I'll have you give up the Challenge entirely. The second you let your hand slip up, and push things too far? It's over."
Syra had actually been backed up against a lamppost, as everyone saw Nessa zero in on the flustered girl to make sure she heard everything loud and clear. "Now I want you to undestand something. I don't mind what happens to me, little girl, because I can take whatever you can dish even if I'm not as adept as Bea. You know her, yes? I can take it...but don't. you. ever. put your hands on my man. Ever."
The intimidation somehow worked, as Syra didn't blink the whole time the blue eyed water master was staring her down.
Haru's face falters a little and sighs: knowing full well that trying to step in when Nessa got like this was futile. A part of him was spooked, but then again seeing someone defend him like this was actually kind of nice.
Still, Syra at least persisted one last time, without getting physical and looking back at Haru. "C'mon! Heal your Pokemon and I'll do the same for my own! Let's go! Right here right now Champ!" At that point Syra seemed like a bratty little child throwing a tantrum. Admittedly, she was a little shaken up now with Nessa having an intense staredown to her to a capacity Haru couldn't compare.
She instead saw that Haru spoke plainly, folding his arms over each other. "It wouldn't make a difference."
The losing trainer just shook her fists with teeth clenched."Why do you say that? You can't determine that right now!"
Once again, Haru tries to be neutral, bordering on positive. "Look Syra, the match that will matter that ultimately decides if you are what you say you are will be in the League Tournament. Granted of course, if you make it out of the Pools and meet me after defeating whoever ends up in the Top 8. Otherwise, you should re-think your strategy. I want you to outsmart me. You did it before you can do it again."
Having stood there in front of others taking such a humiliating defeat after talking up herself so much made Syra feel sick to her stomach, and the way how Haru spoke to her only pissed her off further. Both eyes give way as they close in frustration. "I...cannot...stand the way you talk...you're so annoying that I hate it! You are NOTHING!" she manages to say, but before he could get an idea what she means by that Syra turns away and starts sprinting.
"HEY wait!" He calls out as he sees her quickly disappear into the dark of the evening until she can no longer be seen. Syra had quickly made her exit out of the town of Hulbury. Haru just lowers his hand after looking back at it: that she slapped it out of the way and flexes it.
Nessa had retreated now back to where her beloved was standing, putting an arm around him. "So I know that was a lot to deal with, but are you okay? You handled that rather well."
Haru looked confused, pained, and all around befuddled that such a state of affairs occurred. Those thoughts would be put to rest when his eyes met hers and was filled with the same overwhelming love he always had for her. Being put in a situation like before where he was probably going to get beat up, it felt nice to see Nessa react that way even if he didn't explicitly invite it.
"Yeah, I'm definitely more than okay now. Thank you, Water Goddess."
She laughed a bit, smiling as the two turned to head to her home while holding hands. "How many petnames do you have stored away in that brain of yours!?"
"Honestly? I lost count." came his retort.
- - - - - Galar Mine #02 - - - - -
Syra ran full throttle and passed several of the Pokemon that were indigenous to the cavern, as well as some late working miners to find a corner for herself. The entire time she made her sprint out of Hulbury she hid her face from everyone along the way. Not wanting to be seen either, she finds a corner to herself and collapses. Nearly falling apart and shaking, her emotions were at an all-time high. Tears streaming down her face and huddling up with her arms around her knees.
/How dare they...how dare he! Both of them! Humiliating me in front of other people like that. It wasn't enough that he beat me, that alone I could deal, but what happened afterwards. No. I don't accept those results! Fuck! Get it together Syra, you're better than this: You're just frustrated./ She tries telling herself but the tears don't stop. Moments like these didn't happen often, so a part of her was trying to figure out what exactly triggered it. The battle. The confrontation. Perhaps something deeper. Her mind unwillingly cycles through several different situations of both tonight and of previous nights.
//Don't you EVER mention your mother again, do you hear me?!//
Syra holds her head with her hands, shivering.
//You really going out looking like that?//
//She's not here to defend you anymore, so either you fight this off, or you're taking the full force of my moves!//
//You're practically a woman by now. Shocks me how much you've grown up...//
//When are you going to stop asking so many questions?!//
//Might is what makes right! That's how we've survived up until now, or do you not appreciate the things I've given you! The roof over your head and the meals I provide?!? Huh?!//
"Stop...please..brain. Please stop reminding me...!"
Her brain briefly flashes to the memory of earlier in the day when she visited her dad, and just yells loudly to nobody. Whether it was her past, or the fact she truly resented Haru, the events of the night brought her down to nearly snapping.
Or it would have, had the idea of something not struck her that caused her to stop from crying anymore. Sniffling, Syra dug through her bag and recalled that one of the things she managed to bring from home was some basic looking electronic device with a screen and multiple wires and ports built in with a jerry-rigged keyboard attached.
Her hand clenches onto it. A new way to make things right had now come across her mind, and unluckily for Haru, she just had one very bad day.
- - - - - Hulbury - - - - -
- - - - - Nessa's Home - - - - -
Sitting at the dining room table, Haru was having some late dinner with Nessa while having his computer off in the other room. While not exactly disturbed about the events prior to, she could see he was a little tense. Goji had gone to the guest room after being given a Full Restore to sleep early, while Haru let the other Pokemon he brought with him bunk up with him as well giving them the same potions.
"I just don't get it. No matter what I go through in my mind, I don't see what it was that I did that set her off."
Nessa joins him by coming behind where he sat and put her hands onto his shoulders to give him a massage. "Whatever it is at this point, I think there's one thing you and I can agree on. She's not an ally, or a friend. Maybe she's a crazed Leon fangirl. The person who dressed up as a Team Rocket grunt was a crazed fanboy of me, right?"

Leaning into the massage, she'd see Haru look upwards at the woman before him. "Maybe. But something tells me it's a lot more nuanced to simply be something like that; I just can't figure it out. Even the most egregious of losses that people suffered in battle against me, I always made sure to tell them 'Good match' while others I even made friends with...and for one, I became a lot more to them." giving a cheeky smirk to her. Looking back down at him, her face blushes and kisses him from above.
A passing thought came to her mind, with a need to get it off her chest to him. "Hon...do you think maybe once your Gym is completed that you'll be able to take some time off before opening it officially?"
He blinks. "It hadn't occurred to me. Why do you ask?"
"I don't know. Other than tonight, I guess I'm just trying to look out for you, and part of me worries what sort of shape you'll be in when it's all complete." she had stopped massaging his shoulders and would just hug him from where she stood like she's done multiple times in the past. "I've started to worry a bit about you. You don't know this but you sometimes talk in your sleep."
His eyes widened, and a little bit of shame came over him. "I'm sorry...if it wakes you up."
She shook her head. "No no. I notice when I wake up to use the restroom. Which isn't often since thanks to you I sleep pretty soundly. You're also a sound sleeper but you sometimes talk. Most of it is garbled, but some of it does come out." Nessa took to kneeling down now next to him in the chair.
Haru ended up facing her now, a little nervous. "What sort of things do I say?"
"'Please don't go' is the one I hear the most. 'Why even live' is another. It's usually those two phrases." her face had faltered a little to a frown, trying to study the reaction her boyfriend would give when being told these things. He ended up looking like he took a metaphorical stab to the chest, feeling a part of his psyche come out. Be that as it may, she pressed on leaning her face a little closer to him. "Honey, are you scared of something that you're not telling me?"
His mind flashes back to the image of a girl that was not Syra or anyone else he had bothered to think about for a long time. A memory that was blocked out mentally in his head for an unknown length of time un-blurred itself to come back. He sees himself collapsing on the grass outside of what would be his home, shouting to nobody but making no noise. Another memory where he looks back at his phone to see the final text message he ever got from Hiro, and another where that same day he just poured out a drink, cursing his own existence.
Nessa pressed again, but had a softer tone of voice. "Hon? Talk to me."
Unbeknownst to himself, Haru's eyes glazed over. He held Nessa tight to him. She gasped a bit at the feeling of him shaking. "Please tell me this is real....I've spent so long getting this far, that I'm so scared of losing everything." he says in a weakened voice. The lady in his arms nuzzles her face into his chest.
A hand of hers goes to the back of his head. "You don't have anything to be sorry about at all. You didn't do anything. You won't lose me."
Haru clenched his teeth and let the tears just flow down his cheeks. "I'm scared something will happen, but I don't know what. It's like an omen or just self doubt? I don't know, but I hate it. All this pressure to be Champion, leading a life knowing Hiro never saw any of this, and to be the symbol for others who still do have this chance. There's no quotient for me to place on it, but I honestly can't wait to give it up. All that goes in my mind now, is I want to be a man that you can admire, but I'm scared I can't live up to that."
It was a rare sight to see him so honest and vulnerable. Before it was a trigger that he couldn't help, but this felt like something he wanted to get off and say for a bit yet fought to have the wording. The fears within him began to subside when Nessa took a hand of hers and placed it on his face. "You're already the man I admire. The one I'm in love with and plan to stay with: I'm not going anywhere. Hiro would be very proud of you, as am I."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Not far off, the two lovers hear the distinct sound of rain hitting the windows and roof of the home they're in, as if offering a somber change to the mood. As the two held the embrace, an idea hits Nessa. "While you remind yourself that your water lady isn't going anywhere, I'm going to slip into something else for the evening. You should continue on your meal." helping Haru up and then pointing at him before she got up the stairs. "You may want to prepare yourself for this, by the way."
He joked. "What, is it a one-piece pajama or something?"
"Naaah~ you'll see." she teases, before continuing to her room.

- - - - - 12 minutes later - - - - -

Instead of going to the room where he usually would be working on anything business related, Haru just settled on having his computer at the dining room table since its size made it easy to set up. He put up his plate when finishing his meal, and had brought up the League account he used to look at applications for the upcoming Steel Gym. The distinct noise of Nessa coming down the stairs was heard, and he began conversing without breaking sight of the screen. "So there's now at least 17 more applicants. Roughly 100 in total. Gosh. At this point I should try to be a bit more stingy on what I pick and choose to interview. After going though so many it's gonna be hard."
"I see." is all she says.
For some reason Haru finds the response a bit too short, and decides to eye past his screen. It takes a second glance for it to fully register but when it happens his eyes go as wide as dinner plates with his face going dark crimson red. "Nessa...?!"
Before him she stood in a tight, sleeveless ice blue showgirl top that showed her cleavage and bare shoulders, fishnet stockings, ice blue heels, white bracelets, and long ice blue rabbit ears. The earrings were the same as before, though she now had some lipstick on. His heart was going a thousand miles per second as she just strut herself a bit over to him, leaned down for a full eye shot down her top. "So~o, what do you think of me as your own personal bunny girl? Not that you mind me wearing this now do you?"
He gulped a bit, with her finger tracing his chin keeping his glance on her at all times. "Y-yes...I mean no. I don't mind at all."
"I mean, what IS the point of having a model girlfriend if you don't get to personally see her in some of the many outfits she has, right?" she'd turn around in a circle, showing she had the fake cotton tail and if not for the fishnet leggings her bare ass would be on display to him. It might as well be.
"Y-yeah. Uhm...this is going to make it ve~ry difficult for me to get applications looked at, babe."
She smirks. "I know."
"REALLY difficult."
She now got up on the table, crossing her legs giving him an eyeful closeup of her thighs. "Yep."
To be honest, there wasn't exactly a timetable that he had to get any of this done since the Gym only required a low number of trainers and he could go about this process at his own pace. Haru considered his options, looking at the beauty before him.
"Whelp." he shuts close his laptop, unplugs it, and lazily tosses it onto the couch as it landed safely on a cushion. "I suppose some things can come later. YOU on the other hand..." his eyes look up to her, getting up from his chair as Nessa wrapped one leg around his waist while he stood on the floor against the table where she sat on.
"Yes? What about me?" she insisted on knowing, toying him by forcing a direct confession.
Haru leaned towards her neck, starting to give some kisses on her bare shoulders up to her neck, causing Nessa to exhale contently. "I think I'll just be fine forgetting about work for one night and giving YOU some 'hyper training' of my own."
"Oh? I could use a lot of specific IV boosts so you're going to have to work hard, you know." she smirked, feeling his lips on her collar and then up to her lips as they lock and slowly make out right there on the dining table. She pulls him towards her with one of his hands resting on her chest.
"I'm going to run out of Pokemon battle puns, Nessa, so let's just settle for 'I'm going to rut you'." he said flatly, but with a grin that gave away the spirit that he was feeling.
The other leg wrapped around his waistline. "Good."
As Haru went face down into Nessa's cleavage, her fingers would graze over the hairs on his head in an encouraging gesture. Wanting him to lose himself in the moment. Wanting to enjoy themselves with each other. To a degree, she felt this was a long awaited thing she wanted to do with all the teasing of seeing her wear multiple outfits since modeling was her career. There would be no harm in shoving an intense visual before his eyes, she figured, and was doubly confirmed when she felt the erection of his growing. As one hand of her own went down to his waistline to fish for his member, Nessa arches her back to buck her own chest into his face.
"Y-you know...I've had to get more pills thanks to you.." She ended up telling him, exhaling a little while he peppered kisses along her collar and neck.
Haru has a hand roam over her waist, gyrating himself against her crotch as she was still on top of the table. "Well then, I suppose that's my fault." A finger goes and slips inside the folds of her vagina; feeling how soaked Nessa was at this point. The ease of being able to simply pull a part of her outfit to the side for insertion got him fired up.
"I...I'm not complaining. Honestly, I..hate the idea of condoms. S..." She tries hard to speak feeling her lover not only slide a finger in and out of her quivering cunt, but rubbing her clit. "So...it's fine. Besides..I...AHHH! Haru...???" Her eyes go completely wide, not figuring the following would happen next but was: him kneeling down with his face shoving itself into her pussy and letting his tongue speak Alolan poetry.
"Oh...FUCK!" she cries out. The sudden shift at which he went from heavily making out with and aggressive petting to worshipping her pussy causes Nessa to have her strength sapped from her whole body. Looking down at him, she gains a new sense of intense enjoyment feeling his mouth and tongue go to town on her lower region. Delicately and slowly, he'd slide both of his hands up her inner thighs and around her hips to pull her towards him to invite his tongue deeper.
Her legs quiver, as Haru simply goes quiet outside of letting out some moans so she'd feel him 'vibrate' with just his voice. Nessa has to regain her center of gravity feeling his tongue lick her insides so expertly that she ends up climaxing; both legs twitching and wrapping around his head. He embraces her moment of peak pleasure by putting both of his hands on her hips and grabs onto her ass. The one focus on his mind being to soak in the juices she just gave him.
"You were about to say something, dear?" He teases, standing up slowly wiping his chin before sucking off one of his thumbs of the 'leftovers' she gave him.
Nessa was still panting from post orgasm and looked at him weakly. She did manage to speak her mind finally, biting her lip and lightly flicking his forehead. "Before you so RUDELY interrupted me by making me cum so hard..."
He winks cheekishly at her. "Sorry, but also not sorry."
Her irritation was only in jest, as the expression given right as she continued was one of her having her switch turned on. "I was going to say that...I love the sensation of feeling your essence slide out of my body when we do it raw. Y..you also make some of the most intense, cutest faces when you're seconds away from blowing your load."
"We're going to ruin this table. Possibly the floor." Haru said in half hearted, half sarcastic tone while leaning over towards her. Taking the moment to let her consider their options, his belt would fly right off from the confines of his pants, and his member would go free as the rest of his bottoms hit the floor.
Her eyes go down to scan the oncoming assault she was about to get, then back to him as one of her legs wrapped around his waist. "A small price to pay for what you're about to give me, isn't it?"
There was no audible answer, only one of action. Giving her a deep, intimate kiss, Nessa feels the throbbing shaft of his insert into her fully with a confident, hard thrust. Mid-kiss, she gives a squeaky moan that Haru feels vibrate within his lips and begins pounding her right on the table. As usual, she felt heavenly, and tonight was soaking wet from the fetish in play as well as him using his tongue on her entrance.
Instinctively, her other leg tries to wrap around his waist. Nessa finds herself already working towards another orgasm with how fiercely his cock is hitting her insides. "FUCK! Haru..you're fucking me so deeply..!"
His head had leaned over past her neck and whispered in an ear. "There's no way I could hold back, with you dressed up like this!" Both hands then go to her knees to push her legs back, opening her legs wider for him. If pleasure was a state of mind, Nessa's mind was filled with every possible sense zeroing in on how deeply she was being pounded. Haru told her he was going to rut her, and so far he was absolutely living up to that promise.
"Yeah...? Why's that?" she pants, embracing him fully.
"These leggings accentuating your thighs, and how well this just highlights your beautiful body. It's too much for a mere mortal like myself to handle!" Haru halfly shouts, slowing down to pause his thrusting just so she could feel every inch of his member.
"Lik...like you won a real 'jackpot' at some casino huh? Aren't you so lucky?" Nessa yelps at the end, with him slapping her ass before picking up speed again.
His cock slams into her with a loud 'plap', pausing between thrusts briefly. "Mmmhmm! So take it, bunny girl!"
Every single time their bodies met, the wet sound of sex echoed, if even briefly. Both of her feet eventually start dangling lazily past his hips, as the bunny girl that he was making intense love to briefly goes cross-eyed: letting out a loud moan. Haru stops, to let her ride the waves of the orgasm in peace. Some of her liquids form a small residue between their bodies on the table, with some splashing onto the floor.
"Y...ou. Haru..fuck I love you so much..!" Nessa cries out, using one hand to steady herself and the other to yank him by the shirt and kiss him. While their lips attacked each other, Haru takes to his own shirt, pulling away from her to strip it off of his body before continuing.
"Nessa...I love you...I'm getting close..." he whimpers. The rapid pace that his fucking was going at the moment, which was already fast, had sped up a little bit more.
She looks at him with a heavy blush and smile. "Go ahead. Empty everything you have into me~."
As their eyes lock to each other, his face weakens. "Take it, Nessa...I'm cumming.."
"Yes! Do it..!" She encourages him to the peak. The two, very sweaty, and already heavily invested in their moment, froze together with full body shaking. Her back arches with her tits bouncing, fingers clawing at his back as her lover grabs her by the hips; his fingers digging into the folds of her asscheeks while giving her inner walls a new paint job. 'Redecorating' her pussy with thick strings of hot semen, his hips lay the entire force onto her body as his balls swell with the need to attempt procreation.
A line of drool actually leaves Nessa's lips from the intensity of cumming with Haru like this, and gazes back upon him with a dizzied, 'fucked silly but yet satisfied' expression. Nessa's eyes look down between them as she coos "Ah~ there's so much. So warm, too. You always seem to have so much to give me huh..?" She'd ask that, but her moment of peace was interrupted when not even a minute later, still inside her pussy, Haru started thrusting again. The surprise causes all possible thought processes to cease.
Nessa legitimately has no idea how to speak or react to this other than the simple question on her mind. "H-Haru???!"
He had pushed his cock towards the walls of her womb already by giving her the intense creampie merely half a minute ago, but was now already back to 'work' lifting one of her legs up to rest on his shoulder.
While having a thigh rest against his chest, both of Haru's palms go to her torso like he's gripping her for mating purposes. "Nessa! You're the best thing that's ever happened to me..!!" The sounds of sex had increased in the volume in both sound and number of times she hears her pussy get slammed within a minute.
It was honestly overwhelming to her. For a second she considered telling him to stop so she could rest, but a new wave of pleasure had started to hit her from this new high, and when Haru carried her from the table to the carpeted floor she was put into a mating press. A new, gutteral sense of animalistic lust had unlocked from being put into such a submissive position that she couldn't help herself but keep moaning.
/Ah..I've never felt him this deep in me before~/ would be the one thought that enters her mind when she's put into the new position and was only able to communicate for a second in moans.
As both of her feet pointed to the ceiling being pushed into a new position she hadn't experienced, Nessa looks up at Haru with tears forming on the edges of her eyes. Not from sorrow, but from how pure the love was being felt on both sides mutually. "H-haru..fuck. You're way too good to me.."
"Yeah?" he says, focusing on the sounds of his balls slapping her entrance each time his member plowed her.
"I'm such a lucky girl..ahhh~" Nessa cries out, her eyes closing. They both took a moment to let the senses ride them both into overdrive. One of her hands goes to his, bringing it to her face and gripping it so he's caress her face. "Don't ever stop, please. Not until you give me everything."
"Babe...you saying that...~" he warned,picking up the velocity. Nessa feels her pussy get fucked faster and squints her eyes when meeting his own.
Her bunny ears had managed to stay on the whole time, but were close to being tossed off from just being roughed up so passionately. "Don't stop, please~..!" Nessa is unable to finish her statement as both her eyes close, rolling back into another orgasm. Haru's face does something similar before while letting the whole of his weight lay onto his crotch in the mating press as Nessa gets a second group of shots right into her cunt. The position itself, and Haru cumming inside her twice in a row causes some jizz to overflow immediately as the soft white color of his essence stood out on her darker, bare skin. Neither of them having done this before, the new grounds brings them to new levels of sensory overload. The woman underneath his body making unintelligible face expressions as her man cums inside her again, and him slowly emptying what remained of his balls inside her.
Slowly motioning himself to relax on the floor next to her, Nessa's legs lazily fall to the floor as she tries to catch her breath. Her exposed hole oozing with twice the load of his essence, the cosplay was definitely a 'win' in her mind. As the two took a moment to recollect their thoughts from how sweaty they got, Nessa would slowly sit up and looks down at her lover. She had the face of pride and self confidence that suited such a lady like herself, saying "So this is definitely one of your favorite outfits of mine then. I can't wait to see how you'll react to the many others I own."
He felt her lips once again as she leaned down to kiss him again. Not wanting to ruin the mood with a reminder that they did, indeed, have to clean up the immediate surrounding area, Haru just lays there without complaining or bringing attention to it. "I am very excited for whatever else you have planned when it comes to your wardrobe. "
She blushes, twirling one strand of her hair from the compliment."As you should be, sexy. Much as I enjoy the comfort of my floor, let's clean up and go somewhere much more comfortable."
"Hard to argue against having a bed to cuddle in." He'd sit up, meeting her halfway into another kiss.
"Shower first, but yes. Bed." Nessa replies with a definitive point upwards.
The two would spend a short bit making sure they could get rid of any spots that was 'left' thanks to their lovemaking and would only head upstairs together when finished. In the bedroom, both of them would lay in bed together talking about some of the things they'd like to do one day as a 'bucket list', before falling asleep. Haru revealing that he'd like to actually seriously study in a line of work similar to his mother's occupation so that nobody would have to feel worried about their Pokemon if they couldn't look after them, and to one day visit Alola.
"What?! You've never been there?!" Nessa asks, tossing a bit of her own messy hair to the side while cuddling.
One of Haru's hands was stroking her cheek. "Mom says I've been there when I was a kid but I don't count that: not like I can remember it. I want to see it now as an adult. Probably when I get this Gym stuff done, or at least at some point afterwards. Knowing how busy you get with the Gym, I'll just have to work it out."
Beaming at the possibility of a global trip with her love, Nessa jitters a bit in the bed with him. "If you do go, you should take me with you! I know someone there personally that would be a good tour guide, and someone else you should meet. It's beautiful there!"
The rain had been settling down to a nice, sleep-inducing white noise to the point Haru just lets out a contented sigh as Nessa laid her hand on his bare chest. "Well then, I'd say it's a date. Promise."
"Promise."
The two fell asleep soon afterwards, feeling the height of their lives merely ahead of them.
