The various antics of the crews and the various ways you’re involved in it.
YOU ARE HERE | (Part 2) | (Part 3) | (Part 4)
Part 1: Eyebrows
Hakugan comes with a little request
Rapid-fire knocking—no, pounding at your door made you scowl and throw down the pair of pants in your hands. What was the point of telling the crew to knock so they wouldn’t disturb your work if they’d go ahead and slam on your door like the world was ending?
Yanking the door open, you greeted the perpetrator with a curt, “What?”
Hakugan swayed on his feet, as if he didn’t almost bring your door down. Uncaring of your irritation, he leaned closer to you. “Are you free? Can I come in?”
You raised an eyebrow but stepped aside. “What do you need, Hakugan?”
“Do you have any of that sticky fabric thing?”
“What?”
Hakugan brought his hand together and pulled them apart, mimicking some sort of ripping, peeling sound.
“... Do you mean velcro?”
“Yes! Do you have any more of that.”
“I do, why?”
He leaned closer to you, excitement in his body language. “I have an idea.”
Seeing the man nearly vibrating in unrestrained glee, you held your composure for a few seconds before ultimately caving. “Alright, I’ll bite. What is it?”
Hakugan let out a little cheer, leaning closer as he rapid-fired off his idea to you. A slow smile cracked over your face as you envisioned the visual laid out. “Okay. I’ll do it. Do you have a spare?”
Hakugan whipped out a mask from the recesses of his boiler suits, and you twitched at the fact he already prepared for your involvement with it. You shook your head, disappointed with yourself that you were using such precious materials on something so silly. The only saving grace (and reason that you were doing it in the first place) was that there were some scraps left over from when you made the attachable pockets for the boiler suits.
As you laid out everything on your work table and turned your light on, you could feel the helmsman hovering behind you, peering over your shoulders. You got through the first half of your task, used to the man’s antics. It wasn’t a bother until your elbow began knocking into Hakugan. You stopped your work and looked back at him, and he tilted his face up to you, cocking his head silently.
Before you could regret it, you gingerly offered him your sewing needle. “Do you want to try?”
Hakugan perked up, and you could almost imagine an imaginary tail wagging behind him. “Are you sure?”
“Yos. I’ll walk you through it.”
He was a surprisingly good student, attentive and focused despite what his general demeanor might’ve shown him to be. There were a few learning curves and adjustments where you had to help him hold and position the fabric, but soon he was merrily finishing it up on his own.
Hakugan held up the mask, letting out a victorious cheer. “Alright! Thank you so much!”
You let out an affirmative ‘yos’ . “Don’t think much about it.”
The two of you remained holed up in your workshop until it was time to switch off the navigation teams, heading there together with the others who would be navigating the Tang through this turbulent part of the waters.
Morsa pulled the door open for the lot of you, and Tanaka sighed at seeing the relief shift coming to take over. “Glad you guys are here!”
“Hm,” Hakugan said as he left your side, and walked up next to the taller topographer, falling back into his role as helmsman easily. Nobody noticed that anything was amiss as he made sure that his mask was obscured for the most part. “What’s the update?”
“Well, it seems like we’ve moved out of the enclosed space so far,” Tanaka said. “We—”
His words cut off in a choke as he glanced at Hakugan.
“Hm, what was that, Tanaka?” Ikkaku asked as she squinted at the sonar system.
“Guys!” The bespectacled man grabbed Hakugan by the shoulders and spun him around to face everyone.
The navigation room fell silent as they saw Hakugan’s mask. The man tilted his head innocently, hands coming up to the mask. “What?”
Loud ripping noises echoed in the room as he peeled off the thick, dark eyebrows and slapped them on to make a confused frown.
“Hakugan,” Ikkaku began. “What the fuck.”
Said helmsman shot a thumbs up to the crew.
Omg this is so so cute I love it 😭😭😭
I saw you write for sword and shield so I require like…atleast ONE lil fluffy fic for Piers perhaps with cuddles?
(I apologize if this is incoherent, I rushed here as fast as I could)
Don't worry, it's fine! Here's a lil Piers fluff for you (plus a clingy Obstagoon)
..........
'The audacity....' The dark gym leader frowned in dismay at his Obstagoon, who teasingly stuck its tongue out before closing its eyes. It was currently curled up against you, head resting on your chest as you gave the top of it gentle scritches.
You were just watching the latest match between Leon and Raihan on television, asking your boyfriend's ace who it wanted to see win this time.
But...it didn't seem to care much about the battle nor the outcome, as it ended up dozing off during the opening whilst snuggled comfortably in your arms.
Not long afterwards, Piers returned home to your shared apartment after hosting a fan meetup--one that was particularly exhausting as he was trying to put rumors that he's dating someone to rest. Neither of you were ready to tell the media just yet.
Alongside signing so much merch and taking seemingly endless selfies with his fans....it was all extremely draining. He didn't think he'd get this amount of attention when Spikemuth reopened, so it got overwhelming fast.
All he wanted to do now was cuddle with the person he loved most as thanks for watching his Pokemon while he was out..yet even after coming back into the living room in comfier clothes, Obstagoon still didn't release its hold on you, much to his ire.
It sure retained the same old habits it had as a little Zigzagoon. Piers remembered how it was always running around his heels, only to do a complete 180 in personality and become unusually calm and clingy in your presence.
There was just a certain aura to you that made it feel at ease. As it evolved, it continued remembering that it didn't need to put up some loud and tough persona whenever you were around.
You made it feel safe, and so it could lower its guard.
Piers didn't mind that at all.
What he did mind was the fact that it was being a little shit right at this very moment, knowing damn well he wanted to spend the rest of the night with you.
He was half a second away from giving his ace another earful, only to pause as you muttered something to the Blocking Pokémon. You were so quiet he didn't hear a word you said, and he quirked an eyebrow in confusion.
Moments later, Obstagoon just...let go of you and got up from the couch, crossing its arms and huffing. But it stuck its tongue back into its mouth as it shuffled over to one of the lounge chairs, sitting there and staring at the TV.
And just like that..you were free. No objections.
"Thanks, Obstagoon. 'ppreciate it."
Looking up, you smiled innocently at Piers as he sat beside you, still a bit annoyed. "Welcome home, love. How were your fans today?"
"Alright, I suppose." He sighed, shoulders eventually slumping with newfound exhaustion. "Had to tell them to cool it on the camera flashes...gave me a bloody migraine.."
"Awh..you poor, poor thing." You put your arms out to him. "C'mere, unless you want Obstagoon to-"
"No." Almost immediately he cuddled up to you, burying his head into your shoulder as his arms snaked their way around your torso. "He's gotten enough tlc from you tonight. It's my turn."
His gaze landed on the huffy Obstagoon sitting nearby, who gave him the old "stink eye" in return before focusing back on the television.
You just chuckled, stroking his hair as he eventually shut his eyes, slowly but surely forgetting about the stresses of the fan meetup and every other responsibility he had.
It's obvious you've stoked some kind of rivalry between a Pokémon and its trainer, though you weren't going to tease him about it anymore tonight.
He deserved to relax.
Sure, Aizawa. "UA" is taking her in.
Aizawa: Oh god, how am I gonna explain my injuries to Eri?? Aizawa: I can't say I lost my eye & leg to my job, she'll never trust me to fight again!!! Mic: YOOO, TELL HER YOU GOT HIT BY A TRUCK!!!! Aizawa:
