Where's The Rum? (Veylian One-Off

[thezombineer]

Hi there, reader. At this moment, you are probably asking me "Where's Sem Equites?" It's coming back, don't worry. But, at the moment, it's kinda in a planning stage again. Not sure where I want to take the story.

No, my other series hasn't been cancelled, I just don't wanna work on it.

This is right after Vechs and Aurey signed off in the last episode of Sunburn Islands. Yeah, it took me a while. Sorry. Only just had inspiration.

Vechs managed to keep a straight face for a minute. But after that, he just couldn't take it anymore. "Relly Bits, don't you see what I hid under the monument?"

Aurey, still shocked by his erratic behavior--even though he'd been like that this whole time--moved slowly forward to peak into the chasm he'd formed. "Are those" she started, looking back up at him "barrels?"

A huge cheesy grin spread across his face. "Yep! Do you know what's in them?"

"Fish?" She asked, teasingly.

"Haha. No." he replied. "Try again!"

Aurey thought for a minute. What would he have reason to hide from her under this specific point in time? Then, her face lit up. "Those are barrels of rum, aren't they?"

Vechs nodded, seeming very excited. "Yep!" He pulled out a couple of glasses, setting them on top of a barrel he'd been hauling to the top. "Would you care for a drink, m'lady?"

She smiled. "Of course. Though, you could have told me we had this. It would have helped with those long nights, laying so close to--" she stopped abruptly. That was not something she wanted to share yet. "Laying in such a cold bed, in a cold room, in a cold base." she finished quickly.

Though, he unfortunately noticed her very near Freudian Slip, as he raised an eyebrow. "Well, last time I saw you drink, you tried to put a saddle on Milbee, saying you 'wanted a rainbow horse.'"

Aurey smiled, sitting down on a crate he'd brought over. "Well," she started, brushing a lock of hair out of hair face. "That was not rum. I don't get drunk on rum, because I can't drink that much of it. It turns my stomach."

Vechs shook his head. "I also remember one Team Canada party where Etho brought his homemade rum... and that I didn't get any." He sat down on the opposite side of the barrel. "And that you ending up obsessed with 'why is the rum gone?'"

"Well..." Aurey started. "Alright, you win." Then she got an evil glint in her eyes. Well, as evil as she could get. "Vetchy" she said in her Pokémon voice, "Can I have some rum, pwease?"

"You know that I can't resist that voice." Vechs replies, laughing and pouring some into the glasses from a spigot in the side of the barrel.

Two hours later, they were both fairly well drunk. Aurey was speaking solely in her Pokémon voice at this point, and Vechs... Well he was still Vechs, but more giddy.

"You know, Vechs." Aurey started, her voice being heart-breakingly adorable, "All this time we've spent on these islands, there's one thing I've wanted to tell you."

Vechs looked away from where he'd blown up the Monument, giggling. "What's that?" he said excitedly.

She leaned in close, like she was telling him a secret. "I love you."

Vechs giggled again. "I love you too!"

Aurey then proceeded to drag Vechs by the collar. "C'mon!" She said, retiring her Pokémon voice. "I think it's time you retire the fish, and I retire the blaze rod."

Vechs looked at her funny. "Are you going to regret this when we're sober?"

She shook her head, red hair going everywhere. "Nope."

The next morning, Aurey sat up quickly. She looked around, trying to remember exactly what had happened the night before.

Then she remembered. A smile slowly spread across her face as she lay back down, wanting to snuggle up with the man she could now call her boyfriend.

And that is the closest I will ever get to writing smut. Probably.
