I carried Nate on my back while he slept the whole way to a place we can spend the night in. He stirred in his sleep, mumbling nothings while we walked the streets after he blacked out drunk in the karaoke bar.

Apparently he drank more shots while I was on my way to the stage to first sing my song that made the entire building quiet down and fall asleep on the tables, which made me giggle at how music effects others so easily.

"Looks like this time I'll be taking you to a hotel room" I giggled.

"Did you really have to sing?" Nate sighed "You knocked everyone in that building out. I'm surprise the bartenders didn't fall asleep themselves"

"Well, it has gotten late and I wouldn't want you to drink more than you should've. You didn't really drink because of me, did you?" He sighed.

"What gave you that idea?" He must've not known what he said earlier. Fair enough. He is drunk, after all.

I rented a hotel room in one of the highest skyscraper closest to where we were walking. It's gotten late and it's better to just find the closest one, despite it being expensive "Cam?" Nate called tiredly when I walked to the elevator.

"Hm?"

"Do you really want to die?" I looked at him not fully awake, mostly having the alcohol to talk for him.

"Well, not really"

"Why do you want to die then? Are you not happy?"

"Nate" I sad smiled "we already talked about this... I am happy! But my sister-"

"Rosa will be sad when you leave and wouldn't trade a characteristic with you like you claim. She changed because she lost you the first time"

"Can we just stop talking about this?" We arrived at the floor that was available and entered the room with a king size bed "This is all that was available. Luckily I was able to convince them to give me a room without trying to over charge me" I giggled "they got so scared of me that they made it as cheap as possible if I promised I wouldn't kill them. Imagine"

"Cam" Nate groaned when I placed him on the bed "Please don't kill yourself"

"That's a lot to ask, Nate" he pulled on my hand "I have no choice"

"You do have a choice... A choice to stay" I frowned at him half asleep "Don't leave us... You have so much to live for"

"Really? Like what?" He placed my hand on his cheek.

"You could probably win that raffle you did in the Join Avenue"

"I seriously doubt I won. It already passed, I'm sure"

"You sing like an angel..." I blushed "You like to help people... You're smart and can protect others. Maybe you can be a cop with me" I giggled at that.

"Not with my history, Nate"

"Could be possible... You fund the police. You gave someone like me a job. Why wouldn't you be able to be a cop?" I sat next to him.

"If I become a cop, that means we can stay together and be partners forever" he mumbled, slowly falling asleep.

"Yeah... That would be nice" I held my heart beating fast. That would be... nice? "But you're a lot to handle" I ended up laughing, even if he was being honest and was tired "You're still pretty cool" I smiled and pet his head, watching him fall asleep.

"Oh Nate..." I held his cheek, leaning close to his face to admire how he slept "If you just knew about me, you'd never see me the same way again" I kissed his forehead and leaned away "You'd probably hate me and want nothing to do with me..." I noticed a drop of water land on his chest, later noticing that it came from my eyes.

"Every word we talk... every single word builds up to this moment, and I gotta convince myself I don't want it, even though I do... You could break my heart in two... but when it heals it beats for you" I leaned my forehead on his chest "I know it's forward, but it's true... I want to hold you when I'm not suppose to..." I squeezed his jacket "Nate..." I backed away and jogged to the bathroom to take a shower and wash off any tears on my face.

Song: Back to you by Selena Gomez

"Fril" Frillish crawled from the room and came into the shower with me.

"Oh, hey Frillish" I pet her head as we get soaked in water "Did you come in here because I was crying?" She nodded "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me. I know Nate and I aren't meant to be, and that's okay..." she frowned at me "If he's happy, I'll be happy... No matter what" I looked at the small cuts that were under the cuts from my clothes after being attacked by Virizion "My clothes had more damage then my skin... Why did they leave?" I held my chest "Did they feel something in my song?"

I got out the shower with only a towel and looked over to see Banette sitting on Nate's sleeping chest "Banette, what are you doing? You're suppose to give me clothes" I reached out to grab her so I can get dressed, but a pair of arms ended up grabbing me and pull me into Nate's body for him to hold me like a body pillow "N-Nate!" I panicked.

"You smell good..." he mumbled, cuddling onto my head as he kept my body on his.

"Nate... I'm naked! Let me go!" He held me tighter, making it hard for me to get free. I blushed hard, lucky that I didn't wash my hair, otherwise I might catch a cold "Nate..?" I peaked up at how relaxed he look "You're so worried about me... I'm sorry I made you feel like this today..." he buried his face into my neck "What are you..?"

"I'll have to lock you down so you won't get away from me..." I felt my body overheating at those words

"I know we're always together, but you can't do that after I break the-" he started kissing my neck. I froze and silently freaked out "N-Nate..!"

"I don't care what it takes..." I gasped when he sucked on the sensitive part of my neck. I bit my lips from keeping myself from freaking out, knowing he wasn't doing this intentionally, but if I freak out now, there's a chance my towel can come off with the way he's holding me

"Don't go anywhere..." he finished and held me close. I cupped my mouth, feeling tears running down my face. My heart was beating so fast... I don't know if I should feel happy or sexually harassed!

"You'll regret this in the morning" I took a deep breath and sighed, hugging him back "I can already hear the screaming" I chuckled "As long as I get to hold him like this, it's worth it"

The night was quiet and peaceful, and it would had just been nice if it remained that way, but when it comes to me, a good nights sleep was never an option. Even in the arms of the one I loved, my nightmares made it difficult for me to be happy.

I was woken from Nate's movement and looked up to see him staring at me with wide eyes and a red face "Nate..." I yawned "What's the matter?" I wiped my sleepy eyes.

"What's the matter?! Why are you in bed like that?! Why on me?! Naked!" I looked at myself wearing the towel from last night.

"Well, it's not like I had much of a choice" I explained what happened while trying to get rid of the sleepy in my eyes and the tears I always had to remove after a nightmare. I left out the hicky he probably gave me and hid it under my hair "So there's that" he cupped his mouth and turned away.

"Dammit... must've been the alcohol" I snorted and got up to go put on some clothes "I'm sorry I did that..." he told me outside the door.

"You don't have to apologize" I got dressed and placed a red kimono as a cardigan over my shoulders to complete the look "This is so cute" I smiled and spun around in it before fixing my scarf "anyway. I don't mind that you did that" I walked out the bathroom to show off my clothes, making Nate stare at my clothes and get a hint of pink on his cheeks "Isn't it cute?" I tugged on the end of the blouse, feeling shy that he was looking at me like that.

"Yeah..." he cleared his throat and went off to take a shower himself before we could go out for the day.

"What else is there to do in this city?" I asked, staring up at the sky with all the skyscrapers in my view.

"Seriously, Black City isn't a city you want to spend your time in, but I'll tell you what. There's a tower trainers go to to become champion"

"Like the Pokémon league? Or the world tournament?"

"Something like that. Allot of people bet off a challenger to see who wins. Cheating and steroids are allowed. This place isn't the kind of place N would want to see. It's pretty bad" I ran forward so I can face him.

"How do you know so much about this place? This place sounds dangerous, so how do you know so much? Is this place where you got arrested?" He sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

"Fine, you got me" he sighed "I did what I believed was the right thing. These people are wild and don't care about anyone but themselves. This isn't the only place I committed crimes, but it is one of the few" I became very intrigued "I know that look on your face. Don't think I'm going to tell you what I did!"

"Awe! Come on!" I took his hands "I won't judge! Can't be worse than what I did!" He huffed.

"Again with this. I serious doubt it" I giggled, taking it as it is, and walked the city to explore as much as we can before we may head to the final stop in Undella Town for a vacation with him, Hugh, Rosa, Hilda, mother, auntie, Cheren, N, Bianca and I, and maybe anyone else who is invited. This may be the last of our moments together, and I just want to spend the rest of it with them before I return home. Black city will be Nate and my last moments alone, so I don't care how sketchy this place is... I want to spend it with him.

We went out to a restaurant to eat breakfast. Nate warned me that even in regular places like restaurants, people can be very rude to the staff and the customers around them. He also said that I shouldn't be fooled by the staff, since they like to overcharge their customers. We actually had a difficult time getting into the restaurant because the hostess claimed we didn't look like we had money.

"Excuse me?" Nate glared, getting pissed "Who are you to say we don't have money?"

"I don't know. You just don't look like you don't have money" the hostess picked at her fingernails "I'm usually a good judge of character. Sorry, but you should leave" Nate slapped the hostess stand, which didn't even make the girl flinch.

"You little..." he turned to me "Let's get out of here, Cam. I'm not going to waste my time on people like this" he walked pass me. Figuring to do something about the girls snobby attitude, I walked up to the stand to greet her with a smile.

"Two please" the girl looked at me like I was stupid. 

"Didn't I just say you don't look like you don't have-" I softly touched her hand, making her freeze and turn blue at the sight of my expression.

"No, I didn't seem to have heard you. Could you repeat that, please?" She shakily walked backwards, lookin terrified like some of the customers who overheard and were watching us "it's not nice to assume what people can afford. I can buy your fucking job, bitch" she squealed frightened and shut her eyes, slowly opening them again when seeing that I wasn't going to do anything while Nate came back looking at us confused.

"What happened?" He asked me. I smiled at him.

"The girl said there's a table open" the girl nodded and picked up some menus before gesturing us towards a direction of the restaurant.

"Y-Yes... P-Please come this way" she walked us to a table on the balcony where there was nobody around. I smiled and leaned on the table, happy that we got the area to ourselves.

"What did you say to that girl?" Nate asked, suspicious.

"Hm? Oh, nothing. I just asked her to repeat what she said" I waved my hand "I also said I can take her fucking job"

"You shouldn't go to the level of people like that. Just walk away from them, okay? When I say we're leaving, you follow me and don't talk to anyone. This is my job!" I giggled at his seriousness.

"Sorry! But we're here now! Which means we don't have to look for another restaurant! Hopefully it's worth the time and energy" I sighed and played with my blonde brown hair with the pink ends reaching down to my thighs "I'm starving..."

"Same here..." Nate held his head "I drank more than I can handle. I got a slight headache"

"Want me to kiss it better?" I teased. He rolled his eyes and looked at his menu "Awe, come on! Don't act like you didn't like the fact that you basically had a naked girl in your arms all night" he hid his face in the menu "A kiss on the forehead doesn't compare to where your hand was going" he slapped the menu on the table, red as a berry.

"What?!" He looked like he was having a panic attack "Cam! I-I didn't do anything crazy, did I?" I giggled, remembering the little things such as my neck I was hiding before I fell asleep.

"No, not really. You were a little grabby, but it wasn't anything serious" he sighed in relief "But I would've had let you do it" he froze "On my final days on earth, I would had loved to feel your hands on me"

"S-Stop that!" He cupped his face and leaned on the table, embarrassed "Girls shouldn't say things like that" I smiled at the table, meaning what I said, but he only saw it as teasing "And you're not going anywhere!" He glared at me "You're staying!" I just smiled and waited for the waiter to come and take our order.

The manager ended up coming to our table by the end of the meal and offered a free dessert for the trouble the hostess caused, but I could just tell even the manager was scared of me.

"Yay! Free dessert for breakfast!" I gladly took a bite.

"Normally, I would be against you eating sugar, but this is fine" he took a piece to eat some. I smacked his fork away from the cake "Hey! You're not eating this by yourself!" I hummed happily and scooped up some cake so I could feed him. He took this as a surprise before glancing away, blushing "Seriously..? Do you always have to do this? I can feed myself" I wasn't going to lower my arm until he ate it, so he did and turned away all embarrassed. This made me happy...

"That wasn't so bad" I accidentally dropped the fork on the floor "Oops! I'll get it" I crouched down under the table cloth to look for the fork under the table before someone's loud voice came up to our table.

"Blake!" I peaked over to see the guy we met by Opelucid City, Phoenix, climbing the top of the balcony to get to Nate "Hey! I thought that was you!" Nate panicked and waved his hand to keep me from getting up from under the table, so I sat down and stared at the guy coming up to sit on my chair "What brings you to Black City? You came here by yourself to eat cake? I thought you didn't like cake" Nate doesn't like cake?

"Yeah well... I'm just having a bit. It was free, after all" is he really just eating it so I wouldn't eat it all? "Say, you were in Opelucid City when that whole ice thing happened. Did you get hurt?"

"Me? Hurt? Nah man! I'm great!" Phoenix laughed "The only thing that bothered me about it was that it was difficult getting into people's houses when they were locked out from the outside because of that ice. Who knows where all that ice came from, but I can tell you one thing that I found interesting was that someone was beating up on an old man" he laughed. I cupped my mouth, never thinking that I was being watched "I think he was part of that Team Plasma stuff" Nate didn't say anything for awhile.

"Uh... huh" Nate sounded skeptical "Okay"

"What's wrong man? What's gotten you like that? You sound kinda bored right now. Say, since you're here alone, why don't we start doing things like we use to?" Something dropped on the table that sounded like hard paper or something "I got us a job"

"Sorry... I can't"

"Why not? Dude, do you remember how much fun we use to have? How much money we got paid?"

"I never did it for the money"

"Yeah yeah, whatever. You did it to keep the peace and what not. This place has not changed in the slightest, so there's people like us that can make this change. Just look at these files" Nate sighed. There was a silence for awhile "Some serious stuff, right?"

"I... I don't know" Nate sounded unsure "C-Can we talk about this another time? Right now is not good right now. I'm actually with someone... She will be back from the restroom soon" he lied. I leaned over to his leg and randomly bit on it "Son of a bitch! Cam!!" I held my mouth to hide my laughing.

"Cam?" His friends questioned

"Nothing! Just leave already! I need to talk to my friend!"

"So this friend... A girl? Ooh! My boy has a girlfriend?!" Phoenix laughed, sounding excited "Does she know of your history?"

"She's not my girlfriend! She doesn't know anything! So don't bring it up! I don't want her listening in on this when she comes back, so get out of here!"

"Alright alright" Phoenix stood up "We'll talk about this later. I'll be over in the Cyclone range. I'm sure you can find it. I'll message you the details" Phoenix left to the end of the balcony where he came from and jumped off, letting me get back to my seat and continue eating the cake like I didn't hear anything.

"What the hell was that?!" He glared at me "Why did you bite me!?"

"What? Do you prefer me to do something else?" I wiggled my eyebrows. He flinched and scooted away "Just kidding! So what where you guys talking about?"

"You don't have to worry about what you just heard" I hummed a song while he wasn't focused on the cake I was going to eat all by myself "That guy is trouble, and I'm not going to do anything. I'm not like that anymore-" he noticed me finishing the cake "Cam!" He stood up "You did not just eat the whole thing!" I giggled.

"I did!" I smiled at him "No worries, Nate. I won't even think about what you two were talking about. I trust you" I took his hand "Whatever you do, you know the outcome. I won't judge you for anything you've done. We're here together. No one will come in between us" He frowned at me "Well... not in the sense of Rosa, but in other things. I believe in whatever choice you make. I just hope that one day if you find out what I did, you won't see me differently" I stood up so we can leave "that's all I want" he nodded and took my hand so we can go off and explore again.

I smiled at him holding my hand and I hugged his arm happily, just glad that what our lives brought us to had brought us together. I don't care what he did in his past... I just hope he can accept me like I'll accept him through anything. Anything...
