            “I…I… can’t…”

            Lance gritted his teeth as he clung onto Red’s hand tighter. “I swear by Lugia, I will not let you fall!”

            “But I can’t hold on any longer…” Red murmured. “Lance… we’re both going to die this way. Let go.”

            “No.” Lance replied.

            Footsteps sounded behind them. Giovanni laughed as he appeared, followed by at least a dozen Rocket Grunts and two Executives.

            “So, it seems that I’m just in time to finish the two of you off.” His gaze swept the rooftop, seeing the Dragon Master struggling to pull the Champion up. “What a pity. At least you’ll die together. I am not a wholly heartless man, after all.”

            “I don’t think so.”

            “Oh?”

            “Lance…” Red murmured. “I… I love…”

            Lance did not give Red time to reply, before he threw himself off the building. Red let out a surprised shout as they were suddenly falling.

            “Lance! I don’t want you to die with me!”

            “We’re not going to die.” Lance said, still clinging onto Red with surprising strength. “Just hold onto my hand.”

            Red felt a bit leery, but decided that now was as good a time as any to declare his love. They were going to hit the ground soon enough anyways. “Lance, I love you.”

            “I know.” The Dragon Master replied, before his cape dropped to the ground. Red closed his eyes; before he registered that they were no longer moving downwards. In fact, they seemed to be floating… up?

            He glanced up and saw Lance grinning, a pair of wings extending from his back.

            “Y-You can fly?”        

            “Mm.” Lance nodded. “Couldn’t risk calling out a dragon in midair, since we might miscalculate distance, but now…” He palmed his Ultra balls, watching as red light heralded the arrival of his dragons.

            They charged the Rocket building, even as Giovanni gaped, Hyper Beam slammed into his chest and sent him flying off.

 

            Red watched as Lance landed them on the roof of a nearby building, willing his heartbeat and breathing to stabilize. “I…”

            “I know.” Lance replied and kissed him.

            Red blushed, but decided to shut up and go with the flow, and he could ponder Lance’s magical pokemon powers later.

            For now…

            He whimpered as Lance kissed him again, and decided that holding on had been a good idea. A very good idea…
