It was a few days later Aster was returning from his mission his jacket torn with a gash across his back. The mission was a success but he had gotten injured during it. Heading slowly home with each step agonizing. He sighed as he was walking slowly down the river where he had meet Eve.

In the few days while Aster was off, Eve  was busy helping her Trainer sort everyone out, trying to control the chaos so no one got hurt. The others that were unaffected helped as well. So upon Asters return it was more peaceful. She would go to the riverside everyday to look for him, often humming or singing a soft tune to herself while she waited. Any difference in sound that was around the area she would look around and see if he returned. When that day came she was excited at first but noticed something was wrong as he walked. Rushing over, her small winged arms reached out, ready to help give him some support. "Aster! What happened to you?" The tone in her voice was full of concern.

He looked at her quietly before looking down "as I said... my missions... end up with pokemon hurt or killed..." he said lightly touching her hand "please don't get your beautiful fur and feathers dirty with my filthy blood" he said lightly to her as he falls shivering as he collapses in pain "ugh... it hurts to much to keep going" he whined lightly.

"Don't say that." Tears were already streaking down her face as she panicked more. The thought of keeping a conversation though staying in her mind to keep him awake. "Don't worry about my fur, I can wash it off. It's not like i haven't done it before." Sniffles came in between her words as she tried to be more careful around the cut. Doing her best to see how bad it was.

He looks at her quietly his wound rather deep as it was across his back. From shoulder to close to his hip. His tail low "why are..  you so worried?" He asked trying to calm her "its just a small..  flesh wound" he smiled lightly touching her hand softly.

"I'm worried because my friend is hurt." Wiping her face she reached over to his jacket careful as she messed with it to see how bad it really was. "It's not small either." While she didn't like being lied to, she understood he was just trying to help. Though it only made her upset more because she didn't know how to help. Instead she tried to hug onto him out of comfort, not realizing for the first few moments she was using 'Heal Pulse' (Learned) to help with the wound.

He shivers blushing as he nuzzles her gently. The wound healing to a small scratch. He smiles moving and pulling her close. His head resting on his chest "thank you..  for caring so much about me.... eve..." he says softly holding her as he closed his eyes feeling better.

Seeing her work and what she learned she cracked a small smile as she gave a nod to his thanks, only taking the moment to hug onto him tighter. "Just be more careful next time. I'd be heart broken if I lost you."

He blushed looking at her and smiles "I promise you... I will always return to you" he says lightly. Looking at her and moves a hand into his pocket pulling out a necklace. Carefully putting it around her neck "I bought this for you. It reminded me of you" he said the gem was white with a golden slit in the middle.

Seeing his smile only had her blushing as well, with a silly smile, only turning into small soft laughter then a gasp as the looked at the necklace. "It's beautiful." Already she was working on getting her rabbit soft hair out of the way so he could put it on her. "I'll cherish it forever."

He smiles blushing "I remembered  your snow colored fur and golden eyes." He said lightly giggling softly as he nuzzles her cheek before kissing it.

"The least I can do is mend your jacket. that's if you don't mind. " She was surprised as he kissed her cheek and heard him laugh back. Though she paused a bit confused as her gaze met his. "I thought you didn't believe in Love or caring. You're not under the spell, now are you?"

He looks at her and grew serious and looks down. His ears lowering confused as he sighed taking his jacket off slowly revealing all his battle and training wounds.  Soon taking off his hat gloves and boots. His knuckles where torn from him training for long periods of time.

Her ears lowered as she was afraid she offended him. "I'm sorry." Offering a hand to take his coat, she still wished to clean and mend it.

He hands them calmly to her "no... you did not offend... I.. I just...." he sigh clearly conflicted "I just... feel..  so different around you" he says lightly "its so confusing... i... I don't know.. why I'm so drawn to you.. so open.. why.. my chest hurts my heart pounds..."he says gripping his head scared "I don't know what's wrong with me..."

She knew those feeling and the more he spoke about it the redder her face got. "I know you'll probably deny it, but maybe it is love?"

He snickers "love!?!....  love..... love.......?" He sighs thinking about it unsure as he closes his eyes unsure "are you... sure...? That..  I can love...?

Draping the jacket over her arm she took a hold of his paws as she gave him a warm smile. "I'm sure everyone is capable of love if they give it a chance."

He looks at her. Holding her paws softly blushing "only... for you"

"Why only me? I'm not that impressive and I'm quite small compared to a Reshiram. I'm actually very tiny." She felt a bit sad about it but pushed it aside as she remembered all the lovely things he called her. It did make her feel special. "I thought you wouldn't leave your trainers side either though."

"I will visit you before and after every mission. And trust me I go on a lot of them." He smiled snickering kissing her hands softly.

"Promise? You also have to be more careful too. I really don't want to find out you went on a mission and never return." Glancing down it only prompted her to lean against him. "There's enough Ghosts in Misfit Ranch."

He looks at her looking at her and holds her close. His nuzzle to hers as his eyes where closed. Blushing.

"Would I upset you if I said I had those same feelings around you?" She spoke softly, as she was a bit worried he would be.

His ears lift blushing feeling little butterflies in his belly looking at her "y...you do?"

She gave a nod in response. "I asked my Trainer about those feelings before and she explained it to me. That's how I knew what you meant. I was just worried you wouldn't feel the same since you told me you can't."

He looks at her quietly "I..  can't.. but I do... I.. I don't know.. when I'm around you... but when I'm away.. I'm my self... when around you... I feel... so calm.. relaxed."

"You don't have to admit anything, If you want you can keep saying you don't for all I care. I don't mind, because I feel otherwise. If you're alright if only I know and we keep it our little secret. I'll hold true to it." Standing on her toes she gave a soft kiss to his cheek.

He blushes looking at her and smiles taking a hand and touches her cheek. "Our little secret...." he says looking into her eyes and softly kisses her forehead gem "I will bring you a gift when I return from every mission." He says softly.

"You don't need to bring me anything, Just having you return safely is a gift in itself." Hugging his jacket she smiled. "I'll be sure to have your Coat fixed and cleaned by the time you return once again. I promise."

He stares "I wish I could let you keep them" he smiled softly "but I have to wait to return with those.. or my trainer may not recognize me" he giggled

"Oh, okay. I'll get strait to cleaning them then." Moving away, she looked around remembering that there was a clothes line nearby that her Trainer used to wash certain clothes. Already she was off to work on what was needed, though she was sure it would take awhile to dry on top of sewing once she got the thread from her trainer. "Oh! Aster, Don't worry about anyone under the love spell on our ranch, Miss Lacie and the rest of us have gathered them so no trouble should come. But be careful around a few that guard this Ranch. I'm sure i described you to them so not to cause trouble though."

He looks at her nodding "thank you... eve... I wish I could follow you... meet your family.... but I guess..  it will stay as a secret" he says blushing looking down as he sat down by the river. Taking off his hat and gets in to take a cool relaxing bath.

"I'll leave that to your decision and when you're comfortable. I do have an older and younger brother though. Trench can be a bit protective." She giggled some as she made sure every bit of blood was washed out of his Jacket. "There's also the Ranch guardians, Caldwell and Exile. Exile watches the outskirts more, and Caldwell everywhere else. Though he's been quite out of shape lately since moving. He misses his life-mate."

He looks at her saddened "what happened. Why did you move?" He asked softly moving to help her. Clean his stuff.

"I don't know, Miss Lacie won't explain and it's probably for the best." Her ears lowered a touch at the thought. "I wouldn't really know the feeling though As I was born here. But I'm sure being at such a far distance from one you care deeply about can tare you up deep inside."

He sighs "I know a lot about hurting those who are in love." He says moving away slightly unsure and quiet upset with himself.

"You're requested to do such and I don't hold it against you. Those thing happen." Making her way in the water she decided to start washing the blood off herself. "Don't beat yourself up over something like that."

He looks at her quietly "thank you eve... I'm honestly grateful I meet you..." he says moving and hugging her from behind.

Looking up she couldn't help but smile, so glad she could make him happy. "I'm really happy we crossed paths. I enjoy your company, more than you know."

He smiles cuddling her as he moved to help wash "you mean a lot to me" he said gently.

She went quiet to his words as she placed her hands on the necklace, as if hugging it close to her chest while she leaned back against him. "We've only known each other for what, two days? yet it's strange, because I feel the same."

He smiles softly pulling her close to him as if protecting her. His eyes half closed "I.... I l...l." he sighs shivering in agony.

Looking up, she was curious and a bit concerned. "Is everything alright?"

He nods softly as he rested his head on her shoulder softly closing his eyes to rest a bit. Relaxing as he listens to her heart. Her breathing.
