[Envy has already discovered the...effect of this Friday via surprise cheek smooch by Lust this morning. And while he knows that he hasn't been hit by it (thankfully), he's gone and gotten an idea. Now he just needs to catch Heather while there's nobody else around.]

hey wanna meet up outside town for a practice battle

[foolishwren]

_{[OH GOOD an excuse to get away from the house, where she's in danger of potentially receiving more kisses from Lust. A GENUINELY ALARMING PROSPECT AT THIS POINT.]}

oh my god i was trying to be sneaky come on

what if someone STOLE YOUR GEAR OUT OF YOUR HANDS

anyway i'll be on the road near that huge tree bring ur strongest pokemon

[And near that huge tree is where he'll be whenever she gets there! With no Pokemon out. He has them, because he's not stupid enough to leave town without them, but they can stay in the balls for now thanks.]

[foolishwren]

what are you talking about what do we have to be sneaky about

envy you're so weird

_{[She shows up not too long after that, likewise without any Pokemon accompanying her in person. She's already PERSONALLY WITNESSED Scarlet's network of romance voyeurs, and doesn't want to take the chance of this spreading too far among the Pokemon. Or god forbid, to one of those ones who can actually write English.]}

Hey!

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy perks up when Heather calls out, grinning widely. It's the sort of grin of somebody who is Planning Something.]

Hey yourself!

[And when she gets close enough, suddenly his expression drops into a one of dramatic realization, and he lifts one hand to put on her shoulder.]

Oh no. Oh no. Heather...I forgot that it's a Friday.

I feel COMPELLED to kiss my best friend, what a terrible thing.

[SLOWLY, PAINSTAKINGLY...he leans in and gives her a kiss.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[For maybe a split second, she looks confused.]

[And then she realizes EXACTLY what he's doing, grins hugely, and starts to SLOWLY LEAN TOWARDS HIM TOO.]</sub>

Oh god no.

Oh god.

Nooo.

_{[Aaaand kiss accepted. It's just a peck, but somehow that makes it funnier.]}

Oh god.

Our friendship, tainted forever.

[exeggutorhead]

[Immensely pleased that she played along, he straightens back up with an even wider grin than before and dramatically puts one hand to his chest, shaking his head.]

Alas, it's all ruined now.

How will we ever go on?

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Bringing her hands up dramatically, Heather quietly fake-cries for about five seconds.]

[And then leans in again.]</sub>

Oh no.

Now I, too, am compelled.

Run, Envy, I can't control myself!

_{[ARMS OUTSTRETCHED, she starts to zombie-stagger at him.]}

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy raises both hands to clutch at the side of his head in horror, gasping out loud.]

Oh no, not you too.

[He turns and starts half-jogging away with as much unnecessary arm pinwheeling as the start of an infomercial about a brand new running aid.]

[foolishwren]

I'm consumed with desire!

_{[She shouts this as she exaggeratedly totters after him. It's a good thing there isn't really anybody doing any battles on this particular patch of road, because if there was they'd be getting some weird looks.]}

You should have killed me when you had the chance!

[exeggutorhead]

Oh god, I should have! How could I have been so foolish!

[He's starting to shout too. There's nobody around to see them being stupid, so it's okay!]

[He makes a sharp turn so that he can start going around the big tree...and if she follows him, he'll just keep going around it.]

You'll never take me alive, you possessed fiend!

[foolishwren]

<sub>[If someone had told her two months ago that she would be fake-chasing Envy in circles around a tree with the intent to kiss him, she'd have assumed that someone was pulling a serious prank.]

[But nope. That's what she's doing.]</sub>

Then I'll just have to kiss you to death!

_{[Suddenly she gets an idea, and stops mid-lurch to turn around and go the other way. And SNATCH HIM when he meets her head-on.]}

OH NOOO!

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy, of course, runs RIGHT INTO HER and is successfully snatched up. He yelps in dismay and gives his very best fake-struggling.]

NOOO, you've outsmarted me! How could this have happened?!

I'm too pretty to be kissed to death!

[foolishwren]

It's TOO LATE for YOU!

Your friend is gone and now there is only the KISS MONSTER.

<sub>[With a cackle, she wraps her arms around him in a tight hug and then kisses him right between the eyes with an exaggerated smack.]

[For a second, she'd been tempted to go whole hog just. Cover his face in them. But then she'd chickened out. They've been together just a few weeks, and in that time neither of them had ventured too far past chaste, tentative touches. The ones that went further than that were, in true THEM fashion, usually accompanied by humor and playful self-mockery.]

[This is all so new.]</sub>

[exeggutorhead]

AaaaAAAUUGHH! My weakness! NOOoooOOo...

[With that final dramatic wail and a rattling gasp, Envy goes limp in her arms, flopping one arm over her shoulder as he does, if only so that she doesn't just let go. Which she still might, but this way if she does he can at least hold onto her shoulders and not land right in the dirt.]

[The humorous way works best to keep him from second guessing every move he makes TOO much.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Once he goes limp, she lowers him slowly to the ground. A few months ago she might have just dropped him, but she's trying not to be a jerk.]

[She's still giggling out loud at the dramatics, though.]

[Once he's safely in the grass, she claps her hands to her face.]</sub>

OH NO... what have I done... my best friend, dead before me...

_{[She drops to her knees and proceeds to sob theatrically over his 'corpse'.]}

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy just lies on the grass, eyes closed and limp with feigned death. Admittedly, his 'corpse' is having a whole lot of trouble keeping a straight face, but details.]

[But THEN. He cracks open one eye and weakly reaches one hand up, letting out a long, croaking wheeze.]

Not...quite...

[foolishwren]

_{[A huge gasp.]}

He lives!

_{[She grabs the hand and clasps it between her own.]}

It's a miracle!

[exeggutorhead]

[He grasps at her hands, leaning up on one elbow to stare soulfully into her eyes with the dopiest B movie-level 'I thought I was dead but I'm NOT' smile he can manage.]

[And that's about when he finally just loses it, ducking his head and wheezing with laughter. He makes a few noises like he's trying to say some more words, but they're lost.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Once HE loses it, they're both done for. She gives up trying to keep a straight face and just laughs, letting him flop back down.]

[Once it's died down after a moment or two, she leans in to pop another, gentler kiss on his forehead.]</sub>

You're a fuckin' weirdo.

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy's laughter dies down to sporadic chuckling by the time she leans down to give him that peck, and the shameless grin he looks up to give her is a softer than it would usually be.]

You like me being a weirdo.

Besides, who wouldn't be if they hung out around you all the time?

[foolishwren]

Okay, okay, you got a point there.

<sub>[On both counts.]

[She leans back, planting her palms in the grass behind her. It's a little chilly out, but otherwise a nice day. It's good to get out of the house. Especially to have a chance to spend time with her brand fuckin' new significant other. God, it's still weird to think about.]</sub>

So, we're obviously not out here to battle. Did you have anything in mind besides ambushing me with the KISSING CURSE?

[exeggutorhead]

[He sits up too, crosslegged and brushing a few blades of grass out of his hair. He coughs a little sheepishly at the question.]

Well...that was pretty much my whole plan.

BUT it was a pretty good plan, you gotta admit.

[foolishwren]

_{[She snickers.]}

OH yeah. Ingenious.

NEVER saw it comin'.

[exeggutorhead]

That's right you didn't. I'm the sneakiest motherfucker you've ever seen.

[He laughs again, and leans back on his own hands.]

It's a nice day though, I wouldn't mind just staying out here a while.

[As much of a thrill as it is sneaking around when there's more of a chance of "discovery", it's...also nice to be out here where they can just figure out how to act around each other now, without having to be looking over their shoulders.]
