He’s trained himself not to hear anything, because it hurts too much. Volkner sits in the darkness of his gym, his dark blue coat drawn up around him, hair a barely visible outline of spiky blonde tufts. What’s the point? Why should he keep going?

There’s a sudden burst of sound, and he flinches, as the lights flicker on. Flint is standing there, a Steelix next to him and looking mad as hell. There’s a smoking hole where the last set of doors to his gym used to be. Ah.

“If you think for one moment that I’m going to let you sit here and rot away, Volkner, you’ve got another thing coming!” Flint roars.

Volkner would reach for a poke ball, release Luxray and throw him out, but it’s just not worth the effort. He feels drained. There’s no sense in wasting energy…

Flint stomps over to his chair, grabs him by the collar, and kisses him hard enough to bruise. Volkner’s eyes widen slightly, but Flint is merciless, going as far as to stick his tongue in.

Something inside of the gym leader snaps, and he struggles trying to push the Elite Four member off of him, but Flint’s holding on to him very tightly and he just won’t let go!

Flint narrows his eyes when the kiss finally breaks, and scowls. “Do something like this again, and I’ll do more than just that kiss.”

Volkner sighs, and wipes the back of his mouth on his hand. “Fine.”

This is my first stab at the shipping, so I’m not sure how it turned out. I don’t think they’re OOC though…
