Lance shook her head as she saw Red fast asleep, head pillowed on a pile of textbooks and paper packets. She carefully lifted the boy in her arms and began walking down the hall, her boots making no sound on the stainless tile. A night janitor caught sight of her and frowned, following them as he watched them enter the same room.

He knew.

Everyone knew, really, without actually knowing. It was obvious that the Dragon Master and the Champion were in love. If only they boy wasn’t so tempting…

Carl groaned. It looked like another lonely night.

What he did not know, was that the pair were already engaged. Plus, Lance was a girl, though that secret was much more guarded.

She had no wish to attract idiotic admirers or potential rapists.

Lance carefully tucked Red into bed and then lit the incense burners, sending a pleasant faint lotus scent wafting through the air. She paused to tuck his stuffed Pichu doll into her arms and make sure there were enough quilts – it was rather cold, and those bastards who ran the government didn’t approve of internal heating. Sometimes, it felt like they were trying to freeze the Elite Four to death. Well, she would not put it past President Goodman, not at all.

“Sleep well, darling.” She said, placing a chaste kiss on Red’s forehead, before she slipped out of the room.

Red sighed in his sleep, and dreamed sweet dreams.

Back in her room, Lance changed into her pajamas and closed her eyes, stifling a yawn. It was late, very late…

They could put off playing until tomorrow.

Dude, I did six freaking hours of chemistry studying today, so I am not slothful. *Collapses*

Yeah… fluff…. Lots of fluff…
