Author Notes: As pointed out above this fanfiction is based around elements from the game, the manga, the anime, and mainly Eleanor Bick's comics 'El's Alolan Adventures'. I found her comics through Utube; some groups were narrating her comics, I stalked her until I found her Tumbler account, and absolutely fell in love with her art, this comic, and especially her portrayal of Guzma, her original character El, and their interactions. Hence this short fanfiction was created. I have obtained permission from Eleanor Bick to write/post this story. Here is a link to her Tumbler account so you too can read her wonderful comic and see her amazing art. This link is to the master post of the comic. https://elbdot.tumblr.com/post/187763260384/els-alolan-adventures-masterpost
Author's Note about characters & story: Taken from Eleanor Bick's site to describe her take on the characters, & her original character El. El is 20 yrs old, 5 ft 6 in tall, has brown shoulder-length hair with green eyes, she is the current champion of the Alola League, a random jumble of letters nonsense sounds which is El's way of substituting for cursing. Guzma is portrayed as being 23 and 6 ft 5 in tall, he is living with Hala. Guzma having gray eyes was taken from Bulbapedia. Hau is 13, not 10 like in the game, according to Eleanor's comic. So there is the character set up. Eleanor's comic takes place after the end of the game/manga/anime and this story takes place after the comics Eleanor Bick currently has up as of Nov 2020. This is purely fanfiction & in no way will affect her comics. I've also rated the story high for Guzma's cursing, talk about child abuse, talk about toxic relationships.
Story Break. . . .
The next morning El was the first to stir, the smell of breakfast and shushed conversation reminded her she wasn't at home. The last thing she'd remembered was Guzma trying to put her to sleep. Obviously, he could.
Blinking she reached up and rubbed her eyes. The blurry figure she'd noticed when she first started waking up came into focus.
Hau was sitting across the coffee table from her next to Guzma's blanket-covered feet.
"Morning El." He chirped.
Man, Guzma was right. It was way too early after that late night for Hau to be so cheerful. "Morning Hau." She croaked, her voice cracking from all the yelling she did.
"Say El?"
"Yeah?" She replied wondering what was holding her down.
"Is Guzma really all that comfortable to sleep on?"
"What?" She still wasn't up to speed.
"Guzma. You're using him to sleep on." He pointed out. "Tutu said he found you two all cuddled up together like that in the middle of the night, so he covered you guys up with blankets."
"Wow, your face turned red really quick."
Pulling the blanket off El discovered the thing locking her in place was actually Guzma's arm.
Guzma the Bewear uses Strong Arm hysterically floated through her mind before she started shaking him.
"Huh . . . ." Guzma muttered before giving her a squeeze making El eep in turn.
"He's not a morning person." Hau supplied.
From the kitchen, Hele walked in with a platter of bacon and a cup of Tapu Cocoa. "Alright Hau, you've had your fun." She said handing the mug to him. "Morning El. Give Hau a second to wake the big kid up."
Taking the cup, Hau got up and started shaking Guzma. "Come on big guy. Wakey, wakey it's time for Tapu Cocoa-y." He sang while using the mug of cocoa like a smelling salt under Guzma's nose.
"Is this a daily thing?" El asked chuckling despite being embarrassed.
"Believe it or not if he gets enough sleep he's not usually this bad, but some weird yelling kept us up then he just took off in the middle of the night. I guess you two found each other huh?" Hau had taken to trying to put the cup to Guzma's lips at this point.
"I'm sorry. Actually that was me yelling."
"That was you?" He snickered. "What was that all about?"
Reaching up to pat Guzma on the cheek to help Hau wake him she admitted. "I was just that angry. Sorry I kept you up."
"It's all good. After Guzma left I just got up and shut the window. It was fine after that."
"Oh right. How'd things go with your dad?" He asked, smiling when Guzma's eyes fluttered open, and he finally took hold of the mug releasing El.
Pushing away from him to make sure he didn't drop his cocoa El shook her head. "I ended up telling him to go jklfsds himself, but Guzma style."
"Wow! Good for you. I mean, I know you don't really like to cuss, but if there was ever a reason for it. . . ."
Laughing, El reached over and gave Hau a small push. "I get what you mean."
During this time Hele carried several more platters of food in.
"Do you always eat like this?" El asked.
"Most of the time we do have a good size meal, but once Mom saw you were here she decided to go all out. We're feasting like kahunas this morning." Hau beamed before running into the kitchen and bringing out some empty plates followed by his mom bringing some drinks.
"I heard all about what happened yesterday and since you ended up here I figured things were bad enough to walk away. It's a new day, so we'll start it with a good meal to help get things moving in the right direction." Hele said as she walked past.
El felt so relieved to have such kind people around her.
"Well, that and the quality sleep you had on your Guzma-pedic bed last night." Hele teased.
Covering her face El mumbled. "Am I ever going to live this one down?"
"It's just a little innocent ribbing. Hala chuckled. "It'll stop just as soon as the next funny thing happens." He promised, taking Guzma's empty mug from his hands as he walked past carrying a warm kettle of Tapu Cocoa from the smell of it. "Get your feet off the coffee table and head to the dinner table Guzma."
Shoving himself up Guzma silently lumbered over to the table and took a seat.
Helplessly smiling, El got up and placed the blankets on the couch after folding them.
Heading towards the dining table while Hele brought in the last of their feast she glanced at Guzma nursing another cup of cocoa Hala had poured for him. "He really isn't a morning person. Is he?"
Hala sighed at his student. "He's usually not this bad anymore. When he first moved in he had a lot of trouble."
"Guzma says that's 'cause we all get up at the ass crack of dawn," Hau replied before getting a light tap to the back of his head from his mom.
"I wish you wouldn't copy Guzma so much." Hele quipped, starting to serve up the food.
"I'm just repeating what he said for El."
"I can guess what he actually said without you using the same words Hau."
Hau shrugged and shoved a piece of bacon in his mouth.
At some point Guzma actually woke up and after giving El a brief greeting and reminding her that he said Hele made a mean breakfast they all spent the time enjoying the food.
After eating El helped Hele with the dishes before sitting back down on the couch between Hau and Guzma.
"So El, Guzma said things ended pretty badly last night with your dad," Hala said, trying to break the ice.
"Yeah. . . . Not my proudest moment. I ended up cursing him and slamming the door." She admitted.
Huffing, Guzma reached over and rubbed the top of her hair. "That's my little Guzma Jr."
Biting her lip to keep from laughing out loud El glanced over at him. She'd never seen anyone ever look so proud about someone cussing out another person.
"So what will you do for here?" Hala asked.
"I'm really not sure. I don't know how long he plans to be here, and I really can't imagine staying in the house with him. I don't enjoy arguing with him." El admitted. "This was why I didn't want him to come in the first place."
Hala crossed his arms nodding to show he understood. "I wish I had more wisdom to give you, but it comes down to you need to figure out where your boundaries are and then tell him. If he crosses them, give him a consequence of breaking them. If he doesn't honor or respect you are an adult it's alright to limit contact or worst case no contact. In the end, it's about figuring out how much bad behavior you're willing to tolerate."
Standing up Hala walked past her and patted her shoulder. "If things can't be resolved then my place is always open. Just come back, okay?"
Smiling up at him El nodded.
Hala left to tend to things within Iki Town.
They sat for a few moments before El steeled herself. Standing up she yelled thanks to Hele, told Hau and Guzma bye, and started to take off.
She wasn't out the door before Guzma was trailing after her.
"So. . . do you really not know what you want to say to your ol' man?" He asked shadowing her. "I mean that one time we talked I thought you had a lot of good things to tell 'im."
Sighing El, slumped a bit. "Honestly?"
"No, lie to me." Guzma snarked back rolling his eyes at her. "Listen, no holding back. It's just you and me here El. Down deep. What do you really want to happen?"
"I want him to go back home." She finally snapped. "It's not like I invited him here and the last thing I want to do is argue with him about every little life choice especially when he keeps treating me like I'm still a kid."
She turned back to face Guzma. "Sure if he changes how he acts towards me and starts being respectful then I'll give him a chance later on, but right now I'm still ticked off, and I want my space. I want to be able to come and go as I want without him breathing down my neck."
Straightening up to his full height Guzma crossed his arms and gave her a nod. "See. You got this. Just tell 'im what you told me."
"Hell if you want I'll go with you and stand behind you like a bodyguard if that makes you feel better."
That sure wouldn't go over well, El thought. She wouldn't lie Guzma would make a heck of an intimidating bodyguard, but this was something she needed to do herself.
"Thanks, but I need to do this myself."
"Only if you're sure you don't want me to. Ball's in your court."
"I'm sure." She assured him.
"Okay, anything goes wrong, or he won't listen just tell him fuck off again and come back to Iki Town."
"Will do." She said as she went to head home.
"Hey, you need anything give me a call. Even if things are okay give me a call, alright?"
She was really touched by his concern for her. Walking back up to him El gave him a quick hug and whispered "Thanks Guzma, you're the best." Before running back down the path towards her house.
Guzma ended up standing there smiling until Hau comes to find him.
Looking up at the silly grin on Guzma's face Hau asked. "Did El already take off to go talk to her dad?"
"Yeah, she'll call if there's anything wrong or just come back if she needs to stay the night again."
"Okay. . . . So I learned something new about you today."
Giving Hau a questioning look Guzma asked "What?"
"It's just I never realized you were a cuddler," Hau explained giving Guzma a sly smirk.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Well, it's just when I got up this morning you were cuddling with El on the couch, and before we could get you to wake up you even pulled her in closer to you." Hau's smile grew as he watched his older friend's blush grow. "I never expected you to be the type to cuddle. I can't wait to tell the guys I've been helping study for the lifeguard test." He said heading off in the direction towards the Beachfront.
"Hey! You just wait a damn moment!" Guzma yelled taking off after Hau who was running down the path out of Iki Town laughing.
