It was a warm day outside; the sun was out and there were almost no clouds in the sky. Everything seemed right. All the trees and grass were the brightest green and waved quietly in the gentle breeze. Even the river was quiet in speaking. This was the day we found our love for each other, at least as more than friends.

It was afternoon when we started playing in the forest. We would play hide and seek, make funny faces and chase each other the whole day. Then later we would enjoy each other's company. We had been close since we were hatched as young Eevees. He was older than me by a year. But he wasn't an Eevee anymore, he was a beautiful Sylveon now.

His blue eyes shined in the most amazing way when the sun hit him, and his fur was softer than silk. When he spoke it was the loveliest thing you've ever heard. I loved him with all my soul. Even the way he walked seemed just right. But I wasn't sure if he liked me the same way or if our love could even work: can to males even be mates?

Sylveon never checks the tree tops! He'll never find me! I couldn't help but laugh a little. Oh- there he is! "C'mon Eevee! You can't be that far from me, even with your speed!" He had no idea he was right under me! I suppressed my laughs for now but he must of heard me anyway. He looked up. "What? In the trees? He can't climb can he?" He said to himself.

"EEVEE!" I yelled as I jumped onto him. "Eevee what are you-" Is all he could get out before I slammed into him. I heard an audible groan. "Bwahahaha! You should of seen your face!" I looked at down at him, he didn't look amused. "You okay Sylveon? I didn't hurt you did I?" I asked concerned. I was about to go into full panic before his face teared up and grew a big smile. "Man you got me good this time! Hahaha! But weren't we playing hide and seek, not seek and destroy?" I could see wanted an answer. "I couldn't pass it up! You were totally unaware!" Seriously he never looks in the trees. "I really need to start looking up from now on…"Sylveon mumbled to himself. "Hmm?" "Um, I said. You could of hurt yourself jumping from that tree." "It was barely ten feet, I jumped from higher." I told him. He looked puzzled but he seemed to have shrugged it off.

"Bet you can't beat this face!" Sylveon said to me. He stretched his mouth wide open and pulled one eye lid down. He then proceeded to make ridiculous noises. "Bwahahaha! You look ridiculous! But I think I can do better…" I crossed both my eyes and stuck my tongue out. "Blegh!" I don't even know what noise that was, and I made it! "Hahaha! You look just like Lickitung! There's no way I can beat that! Guess you win this round!" He was laughing really hard now.

After five minutes we finally stopped laughing. "Whew, i'm never gonna get over that." Sylveon said. "Me neither, and I made the face!" There was a brief moment of silence before Sylveon spoke up again. "Hey Eevee? I thought of a new game we can play." He said mischievously. "Oh no, what is it?" I said dreading the thought. "Tickle Eevee!"

He started tickling me with his ribbons. It was unbearable. "Ha! Sylvie! Haha! S-stop! It's too much!" Sylveon has a wide smile on his face. "This is payback for jumping on me." I was laughing so hard it hurt and I needed to go now." Sylveon! Hahaha! I need to go! Haha!" I was panting hard and I was about to explode. "Oh fine. I'll let you go. For now anyway." He said defeated. "Vee!" I shouted as i ran off out of site. Sweet relief! I headed back but decided to get Sylvie to chase me. Chase was my favorite game. So I darted past him quickly and he began to give chase. "H-hey! Eevee wait up!" He looked confused

"Haha! Bet you can't catch me Sylveon!" I said playfully as he chased me. "Don't worry, you know I will!" His face of confusion turned to one of playfullness. He was running faster now, he was getting closer. "You won't catch me in the grass Sylveon! I'm a Leafeon!" I joked. He started laughing. "You might as well be if you keep hanging out in those trees!" Even though he was talking he didn't lose speed. He wasn't far from me now. "I'm gonna catch you Eevee!" Now he was barely behind me. I tried running faster but it was no use. That tickling took a lot out of me. I looked back briefly and saw his ribbons coming for me.

"Gotcha!" He wrapped his ribbons around me and gently pulled me close. He fell onto the grass on his back and I was gently resting upon him. I was now visibly blushing, but he couldn't see me. "Haha! Got ya again Eevee!" He said in between breaths. I felt his warm body underneath me and his arms were now wrapped around me. I was in his warm embrace and I wouldn't trade anything for it. "Sylveon how do you always catch me?" I asked. "Promise you won't laugh?" He said softly. It took me off guard at first, but I quickly responded:"I promise." "This might sound weird but, I guess…" he paused. "...I just love to hold others. That makes me want to run towards others more than anything." He said now blushing. HE WAS BLUSHING!

It grew silent between us. I could hear the grass rustle and the river in the distance. There were no pokemon besides us for miles. It was perfect and serene. Finally he broke the silence with a happy sigh, and I let a sigh out of my own. We just laid on the grass for hours. I was getting tired and Sylveon was nice and warm. He felt so warm and inviting so I closed my eyes. I would of liked to stay in his arms forever, but I fell asleep.

"You're so cute Eevee. If only you knew you fell asleep in my arms. You must really trust me to fall asleep on me huh?" I said to myself. Eevee was on me and my arms held him close to me. His warm body was on top of me quietly breathing. Good thing he couldn't see me blush now, it would be hard to explain how I felt. If only he knew how I felt about him. But even if he did know, I doubt he feels the same way.

I couldn't help but feel this way. Who wouldn't? He was adorable. He was so fluffy for starters, from his tail to his head, everything was fluffed up. His tail was almost as big as him! And his chest was so fluffy you could lose yourself in it. There was very little about Eevee I didn't like; His energetic personality, how he fluffed up when he got mad and his big brown eyes. His eyes were beautiful! They had the color of all the land in them and could see things no one else could. He could see a Pidove from miles away! I kept thinking about him but finally I drifted asleep. Morning Broke and when I woke up Eevee was still sound asleep on me. I couldn't help but smile. He looked so peaceful. "Hmm?" I blurted out on accident. He started shifting. He was waking up.

Eevee stretched and yawned, he didn't even realize he was still on me. "Hmm? Wait, d-did I fall asleep on you?" He quickly leapt off me as if I were a thor0n. "Ahh! S-sorry Sylveon I-I-I didn't mean-" I cut him off "I don't mind, really." I said reassuringly. His fur went fluffy the way it always did when scared or mad. His fur was messy and filled with sap from running around in the forest and hiding in a tree yesterday. "Your fur is a mess, it's gonna need a thorough cleaning." I grinned. Without warning I quickly started grooming his head with my tongue. The taste of dirt and sap entered my mouth, but it was worth it to lick him. He fluffed up even more now. "H-hey! I didn't say you could groom me!" Eevee barked at me. Was he blushing? "Well how are you gonna get the top of your head?" I said back. I love seeing his fur fluff up when he gets mad. "I'll… … Let you do it." He said in defeat. Aww, his fur stopped being all fluffy. But wait! He was blushing! I giggled to myself, partially from how mad he was earlier and now because he's blushing. "You're so cute when you're angry." I said while continuing to lick his head.

Finally I finished grooming him. Satisfied with my results and after 15 minutes effort I smiled at his shiny fur. "S-Sylveon?" He asked. He was visibly nervous. "Hmm? What is it?" I asked back. I don't think I ever saw him nervous. "Can two… uh… never mind." He said quietly. He was blushing. Was he gonna ask the question I've been waiting for? "Go ahead and ask." I encouraged him. I had to know what he had to ask. "Well, I wanted to know if two males could be… Mates." He finished. He was blushing brightly. I couldn't stop myself, I seized the moment and as quick as I could kissed him on the lips. Eevee jumped with surprise but quickly settled down. The warmth of his lips on mine was amazing! His lips tasted like berries and his breath felt good against my face. We kissed for what felt like hours but was actually only seconds. Finally we parted lips, both of us started panting and we were both blushing hard now.

"Sylvie? Can we do this again sometime?" Eevee asked still rosy cheeked. He looked cuter than ever! "Every single day for as long as we want." I said back. We both were still out of breath from the intensity of the moment. "You promise?" Eevee asked. I started licking his head "On my life." With that he came up next me and nudged my shoulder. I took that as a sign to lay down. As soon as I did he curled up next me and I wrapped my arm around him. Both of us were still tired from waking up and we had a long day ahead.

"Mmm. Sylvie you up?" I asked my new found mate. "Am now." We both had just waken up after falling back asleep and we still had the whole day ahead. Well, most of it anyway. "The Sun is right above us now. Time to play!" I announced to my sleepy mate. "Yeah! But first, breakfast." He reminded me. "Oh yeah, I was so excited I forgot I needed to eat!" I was so excited for the first day with my mate I was almost bouncing up and down now. "You're really excited to play huh?" He asked me visibly happy to be with me. "This is my first day being with you as mates! It's a big day!" I told him now I was actually bouncing up and down. "We should go for a walk before you explode! Hahaha! You have so much energy!" Sylveon was getting playful now. "In fact..." He started up again. "We should race to the river before we go berry hunting!" Sylveon was standing now and he looked ready to speed off. "Yeah! that's a good idea! Last one there is a splashing Magicarp!" with that I took off Sylveon just behind me.

"Hahaha! You're slow Sylvie!" I yelled back at him. I wasn't looking where I was going at the time because I was looking at Sylveon. WHOMP! I slammed face first into a tree. Sylveon was slowing down now, probably to see if I was okay. I was fine, in fact I never felt better. I got just as fast I fell and sped off again. "I'm okay! I just have the foresight of a rock!" Sylveon let off a sigh of a relief and picked up his lost speed. "You need to look forwards when you run Eevee! Next time it might be a thorny bush!" I barely heard him, I was so far ahead now I was seconds away from the river.

"Stop, stop, stop, STOP!" I told my feet but they didn't listen and I plunged into the river. I said seconds but I didn't say I was slowing down. "Why do I always end up in the river?" I asked myself, not knowing a certain Sylveon was listening. "You got the running down, but the stopping needs some work." A sudden realization came over me. "How many times have I landed in the river?" I asked him. He looked dumbfounded. He had no idea and neither did I. Finally he broke the silence. "Every time we raced to it." "I think then we should stop racing to the river before I evolve into Vaporeon! Hahaha!"

"Alright now it's time to look for food!" I barked at him. He was sitting at the river bank and I was climbing out right next to him. He offered a paw but I turned it away. I was out and now it was time to shake."Splash!" I announced my attack on Sylveons fur. He was visibly annoyed now. "How much trouble are you gonna get yourself into Eeevee? Because now it's time for another game..." Oh no, he had that mischievious grin again. That can mean only one thing. "Tickle Eevee!" Right away he began tickling me until I was about to burst. "Sylveon! Ha! S-Stop! Haha! No more! No more! Hahaha!" I was now tearing up and my stomach hurt but it finally stopped. "Why do you always tickle me?" I asked him. I was now getting kind of mad. "It's because when you get mad you fluff up and it looks so cute!" I was not expecting that answer. "Really?" I asked calmly. "Yep!"

I had a new question now. Instead of can two males be mates, can two males mate? How would that work out? And who would go where? The ideas were making me blush. Sylveon must of saw me. "Oh~ Eevee I didn't now I looked that good!" He said sarcasticlly. I was staring right at him. "Wha! N-no! It's not like that! I-I" I was searching for the right words but I couldn't find them. "I was just thinking about something. Anyway, we should start walking." Sylveon looked a bit confused but I guess he thought he wasn't going to find any answers and left me alone.

We found berries but Eevee is starting to worry me. He hasn't said anything to me for a while now and i'm afraid to push him too far. But I think it's for the benefit of both of us if I know what he's been thinking about. I'll leave it be for now but I really need to break the silence. "How are your berries?" I asked cherfully. C'mon! Talk to me! "Hmm? O-oh! They're sweet! They're Bluk berries aren't they?" "Yep!" With that I stuck out my tongue. "Haha! Sylveon your tongues gone black!" Good to see he was just zoning off and not ignoring me. "Hey Sylvie, is your mouth getting dry too?" Eevee asked in all seriousness. I decided now would be a good time to kiss. I walked closer to him. "Why don't you find out?~" Eevees face turned to one of lust and he gave a grin. He reached out to kiss me and I did the same. We locked lips and I wrapped my ribbons around us. "Mmm." Eevee was really enjoying it this time.

We broke our embrace and began to pant. We must have been a little messy. "Sylveon your lips are black! Hahaha!" "So are yours!Hahaha!" Finally the tension from earlier died down. Glad it didn't escalate. After we finished laughing we started to walk again. Eevee seemed happier now. The concerns of earlier or whatever nabbed him have backed off for now. I wanted to ask him but I thought it was too soon. "Eevee do you want play a game?" I asked him hoping to play. We hadn't played all day. "As long as it isn't tickle Eevee! Hahaha!" "Okay let's play chase!" As soon as I suggested it he took off running. "Woah! Your really getting fast!" I took off after him as fast as I could not knowing where he was leading me.

"STOP!" I stopped as fast as I could. "I need to go alone." I was puzzled. "Why? You need some time alone?" He looked at me puzzled. "You can come with me, but i'd rather go alone." It was right in front of my face but I couldnt get it. "What do you need to do?" Eevee face palmed. "I need to go." Duh! He had to use the bush. "Oh. Sorry I didn't understand." I was embaressed. "Hahaha! You can be so funny sometimes! Anyway I really need to go." He walked off and I waited here for him. He was gone for a while but it wasn't unreasonable. When he got back he shouted: "Alright! It's my turn to chase you!" I took off right as he finished.

"Jeez Sylvie you really are excited for yor turn! Hahaha!" Eevee shouted at me. What I really was excited about was being able to get him into a secluded spot to talk to him. "Bet you can't catch me Eevee!" Now it was my turn to tease him. "Yeah! Did you forget last time?" He yelled back. We ran for a long time. I saw a thick part of the forest with a small opening. Perfect! I began to slow down. "Man, you just don't give up do you Eevee?" "Not when I'm getting close to winning!" I headed for the opening and Eevee was catching up. Everything was going to plan. "I'm so close to catching you Sylvie!"

"Gotcha!" He tackled me right on target. I flipped over and quickly wrapped my ribbons around him to keep him from bouncing off me and into a tree or a bush. "Ooph!" I let out as we hit the ground. He was on top of me belly to belly. "Okay. Eevee you caught me!" I announced to him. He looked really happy. I hope i'm making the right decision to ask him. "Hahaha! I win!" Eevee gloated. I gave him his moment of victory and now I had to ask him.

"Hey, Eevee?" I waited for a response to make sure I had his attention. "Hmm?" He responded. "Remember earlier when you went quiet? What was that all about?" I asked concerned. I hope I made the right decision. A look of realization formed on his face. "Oh!" He blushed and turned his eyes away from me. What was it? "I-I wanted to know if two males could mate." He said quietly. He met my eyes again and was now blushing brightly. Silence prewailed in the opening for a while before I decided to answer him. "Yes." I responded just as quiet. Eevees face went from concern to a smile. I was blushing brightly too now. Our lips met again as we kissed again. This time I began to pet him with my ribbons. After what felt like centuries our lips parted. Eevee was panting lightly this time. I wasn't panting at all. "Sylvie?" Eevee started. "Can we make this our den?" I waited a moment before responding. "Yes." It was dark now. "Hey, Eevee?" "Yeah?" "Want to mate with me tonight?" "...Yes."
