Wild Pokémon Catch-All 2

[bravenewmods]

The vast wilderness beckons! Beginning January 25th, 2014, all wild Pokémon threads that aren't incorporated as part of another post should go here. You are still welcome to include a section for bonding with wild Pokémon as a part of another entry or a log, but we encourage isolated wild Pokémon threads to go here to prevent flooding of the main comm with entries specifically geared to only cover wild Pokémon threads.

Please respond to the correct Week if possible for organizational purposes.

Love you~

[allergictoloveletters]

[She watched the two of them and was suddenly very glad she had spoken to Yuuna earlier. With everything that went on with the gods and the Enhanced and Makoto's evolution? It was a good thing Ami had gotten a chance to clear her thoughts before meeting up with the two of them again.]

You won't go anywhere, Makoto-chan because it won't be happening. [She offered simply at first.]

I think there are some facts that aren't... quite out in the open for everyone involved.

Rei: [She turned to the older girl and her significant other.] You love both myself and Makoto-chan. Is that correct?

Makoto-chan: [She now turned to the younger girl.] You love both myself and Rei. Is that correct?

[Despite how calm and logical this all was, Ami was bright purple.]

What neither of you have quite considered is my own feelings within this equation.

I think you shall both be surprised to know that I... well, I care for the both of you deeply and dearly. It took me some time to realize that it was the same amount and in mostly the same ways.

So then, factoring in my own emotions into this.

We all love each other rather equally.

I love everyone in this bar.

[faithfulflame]

[Rei's about to protest, saying that she was going to get to that, that Ami's feelings were important but Ami answers her own question.

In such a way that shuts her up completely. Her words die in her throat, her mouth working soundlessly as she realizes what Ami's suggesting.

And it doesn't take a genius empath to tell that Makoto is internally freaking out, and that wouldn't accomplish anything. So she looks to Ami for permission, and stands up, walking over to sit beside the younger brunette. Her arm slips around the other's, quick as a serpent and unyielding.]

We...all love one another equally. And...[A gulp as she turns quite purple too...] We don't want you to leave, Makoto-chan. [She feels quite like Ami mirrors the feeling, certainly.] Right, Ami-chan?

[She looks back to Ami, question in her eyes. The blue haired girl might even feel a sensation in the back of her head, a telepathic nudge. What are you suggesting? Please...tell us!]

[allergictoloveletters]

[She wasn't sure if she should get up and take Makoto's hand. She wanted to, she really did want to help her, hold her, and make her feel better. However, she was scared of pushing Makoto away again. She was worried about pushing and making her feel trapped. She felt the nudge and glanced at Rei. She would have to caution Rei what going into the mind of an analyst might cause.]

No, we certainly don't. And if both of are you open to the idea...

[She made a small noise and decided to backtrack.]

Have either of you heard of Polyamory? Polyamory is the philosophy or state of being in an intimate relationship or romantically involved with more than one person at the same time while all parties are aware and accepting of this arrangement. This is not to be confused with the act of "cheating," a separate entity entirely. It is consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamous behavior.

[She didn't go further into the description, not wanting to overwhelm either girl.]

If we are all consenting and are all truly accepting... I don't see why we couldn't potentially try such a relationship. All three of us, dating one another, at one time.

I'm sure it sounds... strange, but the truth is that there are many benefits to being in a polyamorous relationship.

[thunderboltprincess]

....

[Makoto looks between the two of them, not sure what to say and not sure she can actually move. Even if Rei-chan's arm wasn't keeping her pinned down where she sat.

It takes a minute of long silence for her brain to allow her mouth to form sounds, but she's not sure what sounds they are or if anyone can hear her now.]

Wh-what?

[faithfulflame]

[Rei's eyes widen slightly as she listens to Ami, a little unsure of what to say to that. It isn't a philosophy she's ever heard of, but it definitely doesn't sound as bad as all that. That it's coming from Ami isn't entirely surprising, though. It is a philosophy, and it is responsible, and consensual, and it would let them all have what they want? That definitely counts as a benefit. Nobody's feelings need to be hurt.

And...she's silent for a long moment too, thinking about it. She could definitely share, she definitely wanted to, and to have everyone involved be happy. It was a little funny, and a little different, but it wasn't like Rei had ever been one for real conventional behavior.]

You...want to try this, Ami-chan?

[Her voice is quiet, but it does sound like the solution. Her arm tightens on Makoto's, and she turns to look at the taller girl.]

I...have no objections. Do you, Makoto-chan?

[She leans forward a bit, laying her head against her friend's shoulder. She wants to do more, but there's being overeager, and pushing her into something she doesn't want. Still Ami gets another little mental nudge. Come sit with us? It's strange with you being separate.]

[allergictoloveletters]

[She felt the mental nudge again. She had no issue with it, personally, it was something she was going to have to get used to when dating a psychic. Though they would have to go over personal boundaries regarding her ability. Still, even with the nudge, she was much slower to get up and join Makoto and Rei and she didn't initially reach out to touch either of them. The last time she had tried to reach out, although it had been verbal, Makoto had not only yelled but had promptly felt ashamed and pulled further away. What if she was overwhelming Makoto again? Rei was a force on her own, but would her joining in just make Makoto feel trapped. She swallowed and place a hand on Makoto's shoulder, even if her own hand was shaking.

She didn't want to hurt the taller girl in any way, and she didn't want to push or to make her feel obligated to join into something like this.]

Makoto-chan, Rei, this is something that should be done of everyone's volition. No one must be forced into it and if that is what you feel like you are being, please let me know. It's just an idea, something I thought that might help, but if it's not something you want to consider, we'll figure out something else.

Just, please don't pull away from us... from me.

[thunderboltprincess]

[Makoto's thoughts are a jumble but Rei's near full-body drape and Ami's hand feel good. Feel right, somehow. It fulfills every selfish want and hope she's had about her two friends, which after the conversation with Haruka and Michiru a few weeks ago makes her feel better.

She lets her head tip to the side until it's resting on top of Rei's and sighs softly as she pulls Ami-chan's hand into both of hers in her lap. She can feel a sad smile pull at her lips.]

I never thought about something like this. But it's okay. I'm sorry I yelled at you before, Ami-chan. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings either.

[faithfulflame]

[Rei smiles gently and slides an arm up to wrap around Makoto's. This did feel alright. It was nice, really, the three of them together.]

I...never did either, but I can't really argue with the benefits. [Closes her eyes.] Thank you for suggesting it, Ami. I've been...wracking my brain for a solution for weeks. But this feels...nice. Right, in a way.

[Sighing softly, she turns and looks over at the other two.]

I think we can manage this. Nothing would make me happier than to see both of you enjoying yourselves, and I feel...like the same is true for you as well. But that's just a hunch.

[allergictoloveletters]

While it is not unique to any one culture or city, it is not readily common by any means. [Which was Ami's attempt to be soothing about Makoto and Rei not knowing.] In truth, my knowledge of polyamory is because of my knowledge of pokemon and their breeding habits as well as my intensive reading on ah... well, dating.

[When Makoto holds her hand, her shoulders physically relax and the tightness in her chest becomes loose. She tightens her grip on Makoto's hand and scoots closer to her side. She smiled.]

I understand now, it's alright, Makoto-chan. I understand now how difficult a situation I put you in.

The trick to a polyamorous relationship is to keep open communication. While that is key to any relationship, because there are three of us, we must be especially keen on expressing our feelings, and if at any point one of us wants to stop being polyamorous, the other two must respect that.

Ah... I'm just glad we could find the solution that makes us all happy, or at least gives all of us the chance to be happy.
