Warnings: AU, Future! Fic, Yellow-bashing

 

Red doesn't know why, but he trusts Lance, and he's willing to give her a second chance, even though the other Trainers - Yellow is especially vehement - are against it. Of course, Lance did try to kill Yellow, but she was quite misguided then and now, things are better, right?

Red isn't blind, and he isn't stupid, and he sees something different in her golden eyes, a love that frightens him, but he hugs her and tells Yellow to leave them alone and since he's Champion, he gets to decide.

This is the first time he has had to pull rank on her, and she resents it. He's quite pissed too, but only because she pushed him to this. He's sure the Elite Four can change - Lorelei did, to protect her home on Four Island from Deoxys, so…

It's really not a risk he's taking!

She can change, too.

 

Of course, when he finds her in his bed, and the older teen is smiling, it's a bit nerve-wracking, but she does not hurt him. It's only sleep, after all. Afterwards, he strokes the Dragon Master's hair and promises that they won't take her Dragons away.

Time passes.

He looks at the certificate lying on the night table, and feels the weight of the ring on his finger, and for once, is happy, through and through.

Lance smiles at him, and her eyes are awfully pretty, and Red feels trusted, which tints his cheeks pink and causes warmth to rise in his body.

And no one has to know, and no one really cares, because Lance does seem to be over her hypocritical `Destroy the world for the Pokémon' kick, so no repercussions ensue.

Red likes that very much, and he'll hold his wife close at night, and smile.

She says nothing, but she knows that she has won her husband over, and that is a true victory - for peace is stronger than war, and love can be just as strong as hate.

 

Yellow is furious when she finds out, but a divorce is out of the question, and there is no reason to destroy a perfect working relationship.

Oak is pleased, though he does not admit it. Sometimes, subtlety works better than brute force, and don't wives submit to their husbands?

Green just shrugs, as romance is not his thing. Blue giggles, and Silver extends the olive branch far enough and asks if Lance will be a bridesmaid at their wedding.

Red beams, proud that they have come so far in this time.

Lance smiles inside. Everything is perfect.

Kind of fluff, amazingly enough!

Red: And Yellow bashing!
Phantomness: *Smirks* Well yes, that too…
