Total Eclipse


She rises and falls like the tide, steady and powerful, always gone long enough that he forgets her majesty until she comes back to him.

She came to visit, his trainers tell him, while you were on Cinnabar this weekend. Then the next week - While you left to visit Mt. Silver. Then the Gym leader's conference the week after that, and then his grandfather's house for his sister's birthday.

If you know know she's coming, why do you leave? they ask him.

Green doesn't know.


*

He leaves her a note once, messily scribbled on the back of a grocery receipt. Stay. I'll be back in a few hours.

When he comes back, his receipt is gone and replaced with a pink heart-shaped sticky note.

Why don't you stay?

Green throws the note out.


*

He doesn't try again after that, just as she doesn't ask more of him. She waxes and wanes out of his life, sometimes gone for so long that he forgets she exists until a postcard, a note, a box of chocolates or a fridge full of groceries he didn't buy.

Green knows. He knows she'll always come back to him because the moon is unchanging in her need to always change. But Green is the sun that sustains her namesake, and without the sun, there is no moon.

But they are never meant to meet.

Re: more commentary, as promised

*fixes* Oopsies. I didn't really like my word choice there anyway... I think I was trying to go for something else, and I typo'd. Like when you try to say two things at once.

I like the second scene too~ because. Stuff happens. Unlike the rest of the story which are just words HAHAHA.

[outstretched]

What was the other word? /curious

It was magnificence, now that I think back to it, which is probably why I ended up with magesty oops. I was trying to think of words that described the grandeur of the ocean and... those were the only two that fit the context of the fic.
