“Suicune…” Mute looked up at his rider, who’s fluffy winter coat was covering him from view. This was Con, and he was trying to get through Route 801, but something was stopping him. Con patted Mute’s head, and Mute snorted, looking away from him again.
“Rufflet?” Crescendo chirped from his shoulder. He had been gone for quite a while, he really had, but he had to go. Looking out on the route however, pained him. It was because, in order to protect a friend he had made while traveling, he was forced to leave him behind. This route brought back all the memories of when times were simpler. But, someone had been looking for him, all because of his father, but he had changed his look completely, although not able to cover the scar over his eye, he kept his hair over it, and chose altogether to hide under a hood.
“I know Cres, but we need to keep moving okay?” Con insisted. Mute carried on, but stopped by a tree as he grew tired, and Con gave him the okay to rest.

Another soul was prowling the woods on Route 801..His hair had gotten a little more tame, and his dress a little more flashy, but all the same, it was still painful to travel through this road again. The last time he'd been here was with a dear friend. Atop the back of his very lost Suicune, Yuki was out near his hometown. He'd come back to console his mother at the loss of her very dear Vaporeon. Having grown up with the old soldier, he was quite close to the Pokemon as well. His mood was somber, and the last thing he expected to find was someone else.
Rainrush had caught a familiar scent, and his head rose up to determine the direction. The Suicune let loose a loud and mournful howl, hoping to garner the attention of whatever he had smelled. Yuki seemed a little confused and pat his Suicune on the flank. "Rainrush, sweetie-pie, don't worry. Even I still get lost in these woods..."

Mute looked up as he saw a flash of blue a bit behind them. He pushed Con’s shoulder with his muzzle, and Con pushed him away to look up. Widening his eyes under the hood, he recognized the white hair of the trainer on the other Suicune’s back. It was Yuki. The boy had changed, he could tell…but he was still getting lost. Deepening his voice, he called out to them as they passed.
“You need to make constant rights to get out of here.” He hoped Yuki wouldn’t recognize his voice, because it would be so much easier if he didn’t.

Yuki looked hard at the other person. Something about him seemed so familiar..Rainrush knew right then who it was, and he barked loudly. The excited Suicune pounced on Mute and Con nuzzling them all over. The white haired lad was very confused, and wondered if he'd missed something..
It was the eyes..Their eyes met for only an instance, but it brought something back to Yuki's mind that he wasn't ready to deal with yet. The brown orbs glistened with tears as he looked upon the visage of an old friend..who looked nothing like the person he'd adored so much. "It..It isn't..N-no..C-Can't b-b-b-be...." He gulped once and reached out tentatively to the other man's face.
"C-Con..?"[/i]

It was only when Yuki touched his face and called out his name, had he realized that his hood had fallen off when Rainrush had come upon him to nuzzle him. It was true, Con’s appearance had greatly changed. He had dyed his hair a chilling purple, as well as replaced his normally blue eyes with two different colors, purple and brown. His skin was tanner, but the look in his eyes must have been the same. Con knew it was up, and the scar across his eye proved his identity.
“Yes Yuki, it is me.” He answered gently. Crescendo, who was on his shoulder, stared at the other boy, remembrance glittering in the bird’s eyes.

Yuki wanted to hug Con and punch him at the same time. He wanted to hug him for coming back..and wanted to deck him for leaving in the first place. His face was awash with emotion, and he decided on hugging Con. He wrapped his arms around his old friend and squeezed tightly. "You...Youuuu!" He then punched him in the shoulder, tears streaming down his face. "Whyyy? Why did you leave me?!"
Rainrush settled near Mute, content to stay away from his trainer's flailing arms. Yuki was in hysterics for a few minutes before regaining his composure. "That night I went to bed ready to pick up our journey..And the next morning you were gone..I ended up in Quakita somehow..without ever stopping in Torrentia. I guess I just told Rainrush to take me as far as his legs would go until he needed to rest.."

Con looked down at Yuki as his arms suddenly wrapped around him. He didn’t want to see him in so much pain, and he knew he was angry when he punched him in the arm. He could hardly blame the white-haired boy. He had left, that night where they were ready to go again, but it was for a reason. He closed his eyes, taking a moment to breathe before answering.
“I had to Yuki.” He began, stepping away a little. “You wouldn’t understand why. I don’t know if you would now, actually, but back then, I knew you wouldn’t.” Mute looked back at Rainrush and then placed his head on his paws as Crescendo landed on his head.
“It doesn’t mean I didn’t want to tell you, and it doesn’t mean I wanted to leave you. I had to.” He repeated.

Yuki sniffled and sighed deeply. He looked at Con for a moment before popping his fingers. "Well..As you may have noticed..I look a little different.." He gestured to the shimmery white jacket and tight black jeans. His lips looked..glossy? Was he actually wearing make up? He had light eyeliner on and a little bit of glitter on his face. His mother had wondered but he'd somehow avoided discussing it too much..
The white haired lad then took another deep breath and grabbed Con's hands. "There's something else that's different too..." He closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip for a moment. "C-Con..You're the first person I've come clean about this to but..I'm..gay." His eyes peeped open a bit, his heart racing in fear of how Con would take his confession.

Con allowed Yuki to grab his hands, and he had already noticed the difference in the way that Yuki was dressed. He had noticed that he looked like he was wearing makeup, but when he said that he was gay, it was a bit of a rush to his ears. His face went from surprised to calm again in a matter of seconds.
“That isn’t a bad thing.” He commented simply, allowing his hands to slip from his friend’s.
“I’m just going to tell you now, and it had nothing to do with what you just told me, but I shouldn’t stay here for too long. It’s a danger, and me telling you who I was didn’t help at all.” He said, signaling to Mute.

Yuki grabbed Con's arm. His face was surprisingly stern for being covered in glitter. "No. I am not letting you out of my sights again, hunny-bunches. Whatever is after you I can handle. I'm not some little boy, Con." He wanted to be part of Con's life again..He missed the good times. "I'm going with you."
Rainrush trotted up beside Yuki, the white haired lad mounting the blue Pokemon. His gaze was fixed on Con, intent to follow him wherever he went. This may not have been what Con wanted, but for once, Yuki wanted Con to listen to him. "Please. I..I don't want you to disappear from me again."

Con felt Yuki grab his arm, and turned back to look at him. He didn’t question what he had called him as Mute came to his side, but he breathed deeply. He took a chance to retrieve his arm and turned back to Yuki, trying to use a cold tone to drive him away, though his answer was suddenly emotion driven.
“Do you want to know why I disappeared? Why I left you alone? Because my father did something stupid, and now the Waters family is in trouble. I have people looking for me, my sister, and my father. They already got my mother the day that I left you, and they killed her too! I didn’t want that to happen to you, so I left without telling you.” Taking a deep breath, he climbed onto Mute’s back.
“Follow me if you want too, I can’t stop you anymore, but they’re out to hurt anyone we care about, and if they get to you I don’t know what I’m going to do.” Without saying anything else, he urged Mute forwards, leaving Yuki to do what he wanted with that information.

Yuki's face turned grim. He...he'd had no idea. He felt really stupid now..for pushing it. His face was sullen for a little while longer as Con and Mute trotted forward a ways, but Rainrush started after them on his own. He was happy to have his packmate back, and was ready to follow him anywhere.
The white haired lad should have told his mother he was heading out..But she'd figure it out when he called from the next Pokemon Center. Yuki looked at Con for a moment before speaking again. "I'll be sure to keep my wits about me as best I can..for your sake Con.."
