Perspective Shift: Gabriel(3)

“And would you like any appetizers?” Your waitress, Melissa, asks. She’s a skinny blonde woman wearing jeans and a black shirt with the restaurant’s logo on it, with a pair of round glasses on her face and her hair tied back in a tight ponytail.

“Oh, no thank you.” You reply with a small smile.

“Okay, I’ll go get your drinks for you.” The woman returns the smile, then heads off, leaving you two at your table.

You and Bella are sitting inside of a crowded restaurant in Viridian City, a place called Louie’s Kitchen. It’s a fairly typical restaurant, with far too many decorations and posters on the wall, packed booths and tables with servers rushing about filling drinks and bringing out food, and some music playing over the din of the crowd that you aren’t familiar with. The song isn’t really appealing to you, but it’s not loud enough to be annoying either, and you aren’t really here for the music anyway. You and Bella have eaten here a couple of times during your stay in Viridian, and the food is quite good.

“What are you thinking of getting?” Your girlfriend asks, still looking down at her menu. Despite her casual attitude and normal question, you can see an obvious tenseness in your brunette lover, a slight nervousness. She shimmies the tiniest bit in her chair, glancing up at you occasionally as if waiting for something.

“Probably a cheeseburger, like last time. It was really good.” You reply calmly, not giving away that you’ve noticed anything is off with her. Of course you know exactly why it is that she’s so trepidatious; she’s waiting for you to start teasing her, to push the switch on the remote in your pocket. But no, not yet. You’re waiting for a good moment, and teasing her a little by not teasing her just yet. “What are you gonna get?”

“A steak, I think, and mashed potatoes.” Bella answers, still fidgeting anxiously. Yet you continue to wait, keeping her on edge in a different way than usual as the two of you chat for a bit while waiting for your server to return.

A few minutes later, the waitress comes back with your drinks, colas for each of you - though yours with no ice. “So, are you ready to order, or do you need a few more minutes?” She asks, pulling out a small notepad and a pen.

“We’re ready. I’ll have-“ As your girlfriend speaks, your thumb slides up the switch on the remote in your pocket. The five level vibrator in the blue-eyed girl’s pussy gets turned on at its second level, and the young woman jolts at the sudden buzzing that starts within her. “Ah! Ahem, sorry, something in my throat. I’ll have a six ounce sirloin, medium-rare, with mashed potatoes please.” A tinge of pink forms on her pale cheeks, but she keeps her composure as she finishes her order.

The blonde woman turns to you, not seeming to have found Bella’s behavior suspicious… yet. “And for you?”

“A cheeseburger and fries, please. Nothing else on it.” You say, catching the brunette narrowing her eyes at you out of the corner of your eye as the vibrations continue to arouse her.

“Got it, I get those started for you, so-“ Before she can finish her sentence, Melissa is cut off by a sudden voice, a voice that is both familiar to you and surprising to hear.

“Woah, hold on! Gabriel, Bella, hey!” You, your girlfriend, and the bespectacled server all turn to look at the source of the voice. It’s a young man, in his early twenties like you. He’s an inch shorter than you at 6’2”, and has pale white skin and dark red eyes. His tousled warm black hair hangs down just past the nape of his neck in the back, pushed up by a red bandanna and parted in the front around his pretty-boy features. He’s wearing a pair of black jeans and a long-sleeved red shirt underneath an open black jacket, and has a single small golden ring piercing in his left earlobe.

“Crow! Didn’t know you were here in Viridian! What are the odds?” You stand up and approach your friend, pulling him into a big hug.

“Heh, the odds are always in my favor bro, you should know that by now.” The black-haired man chuckles as he hugs you, clapping you on the back.

“This is quite the surprise, Crow!” Bella says, getting up and walking over to the red-eyed man as well. She walks a little stiffly due to the toy still buzzing inside of her, and her face is quite pink at this point.

After his embrace with you ends, he and the brunette hug as well, and he laughs once more. “A pleasant surprise, I hope! Good to see you guys.” His hug with your busty lover lingers slightly longer than the one with you, and you can’t really blame him. Bella’s hugs are very… soft. Once he does break off, he asks “Would the two of you be okay with me joining you? Or is this some quality time I shouldn’t be interrupting?”

After sharing a quick glance with your girlfriend and getting a nod, you reply. “By all means, join us! We’d love to catch up with you.”

“Great! I’ll be dining with them, so I won’t need my own table. Sorry.” The bandana wearing young man says to a second waitress, who had been leading him to a table. She tells him it’s fine, then leaves to let her coworker deal with the new patron.

“I just took their orders, but I’ll be back in a few minutes to get yours.” Your blonde server says smiling at the pale young man.

“Oh, no need to wait. I’ve been here before, so I know what I’d like, if that’s alright.” The bespectacled waitress nods, bringing her notepad back up and readying her pen. “Chicken and waffles, side of fries, and a pint of whatever beer you have on tap. Thanks!”

“Okay, I’ll have everything out for you as soon as I can… Um, by the way…” Melissa looks hesitantly at Crow, shuffling her feet nervously.

“Hm? What’s up? Don’t be shy, I don’t bite most of the time.” The pretty boy grins lopsidedly at the blonde, and you catch Bella rolling her eyes and smirking.

“Well… Would you mind if I got your autograph?” The waitress asks, flipping to a separate page in her notebook and looking at the young man hopefully.

This doesn’t come as a shock to you in the slightest. Crow is a well-known career trainer, so bumping into a fan of his is no surprise. He started his journey three years ago, like you and Violet, and you’ve both participated in tournaments with him back when he was still your rank. That was how you met, and struck up a friendship after finding out you get along. But Crow has taken things much faster than both you and your sister. He pushed through his gym challenges at a breakneck pace, earning all sixteen Kanto and Johto badges within a year. He’s participated in the Pokémon League Tournament twice at this point, and placed within the top sixteen out of sixty-four both times. Known by the trainer title of the ‘Knight of Chance’, your friend has become fairly popular over his short career so far.

“Sure thing. Who do I make it out to?” Crow responds with a smile, taking the pen and notepad from the blonde woman.

“Oh, Melissa, please. Thank you so much!”

“No trouble at all!” The famous trainer quickly jots down a signed message on a blank page, then hands it back to his fan. “There you go! Want to take a picture too?”

The slim woman smiles excitedly. “If you don’t mind! Thank you!” Crow gets up from his seat as she pulls out her phone and stands next to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. He pulls a large silver coin out of his pocket, then holds it up between the index and middle fingers of his right hand while winking at the camera; his signature pose. Melissa takes the selfie, says thank you one more time, then rushes off to put in your orders while beaming happily.

As the black-haired man sits back down, you poke him in the arm and grin. “Always mister popular, huh? Surprised you have time for little old us.”

“Shouldn’t you be eating at a fancier place anyway? Arceus knows you have the money!” Bella chimes in before Crow can respond to you.

The pale man shakes his head and replies. “Oh, cut that out you two! I’ll always be me, no matter how famous I get. Feel like you should get that, what with how popular Violet is and all. Oh, and I happen to prefer good old fashioned soul food over fancy shit any day, thank you very much.

He has a point about your sister. Sure, she’s definitely changed since becoming a career trainer, but you wouldn’t say it’s been for the worse. She’s matured, and started to shine as brightly as the stars you two used to stare up at when you were growing up. You’re incredibly proud of Violet, even if you’re sad that you don’t get to see her very often. “Speaking of sisters, how is Raven doing? Talked to her lately?”

Crow lets out a sigh. “No, not for a little bit. Both busy. She and her girlfriend just won their Boulder Badges though, earlier today! Sent her a congratulatory text, haven’t heard back though. Must be celebrating.”

“I know that feeling.” You reply sympathetically. “Last time I talked to Vi was on the phone a few days ago. It feels like it’s been forever since I saw her in person.”

“Just the way things are for folks like us, I guess.” The young man shrugs, a light wistfulness in his eyes.

Your girlfriend opens her mouth to speak, and you take this opportunity to turn the vibrations up to level three. “Wh-AH!” She slaps a hand over her mouth to muffle her voice, glancing around to see if anyone noticed. Luckily for her, everyone else in the establishment seems to be too focused on their meals and conversations to have caught on… except for the red-eyed man sitting with you, of course.

His gaze drifts to the hand you have in your pocket, and he chuckles. “Still up to the same tricks, eh Gabriel?”

You grin widely at your fellow trainer. “Of course. And Bella is still loving it.”

The brunette crosses her arms over her bountiful chest and huffs, trying to look annoyed but failing to fully suppress her smile. “Honestly… Just, please let me eat in peace? Pleeeaaassse?” She sticks out her bottom lip and gives you her best puppy-dog eyes, pleading with you for mercy.

“I’ll think about it. What were you gonna ask?” Your grin remains the same width as you take in your red-faced lover, who is squirming slightly in her seat.

“R-Right. What are you doing here in Viridian anyway Crow? There isn’t a tournament coming up, so…?”

“Ah, right. Here for some of my other work, actually.” The black-haired man explains, and now it’s your turn to chuckle

By ‘other work’, he probably means some high-stakes gambling. The young man from Celadon is just as famous in professional gambling circles as he is in the world of Pokémon training, being known for his **** cleverness and luck in all games of chance. Roulette, poker, blackjack, you name it, he’s played it and bet on it. And won. You can’t help but worry about his secondary profession a little bit, as it’s the kind of thing that can easily land someone in trouble, but he’s done quite well for himself so far.

“There a big poker game or something going on?” You ask, casually turning the vibrator up to level four.

As Bella bites her lips and tries to hold back her moans, Crow responds. “Something like that, I won’t bore you with the details. What about you two? Here for your eighth badges I guess?”

“Yup. We’ve been training for a while. Gotta be careful about Viridian Gym, what with all the rumors about it.” You tell the pale man.

“Right…” A serious look crosses the young man’s face, and he thinks to himself for a moment. “Well then, how about we have a practice match after dinner? I’ve got somewhere to be later, but I should have enough time for a quick battle at least.”

“Oh, really? That would be great training for sure! Sound good Bella?” You turn to your flushed lover, who simply nods in response, her lips pressed tightly together as she endures the vibrations from the toy in her womanhood. “We’ll take you up on that then. Thanks, Crow!”

“Sure thing! Now- Oh, food’s here!” The red-eyed man exclaims as Melissa returns with your meals.

“Alright, here you are.” As the blonde waitress starts passing out food, you turn the vibration level up to five briefly, causing Bella to ‘eep’ in shock. You then turn it all the way down to one as she nears the edge, freeing the brunette from her pleasurable **** for the time being and denying her release. The bespectacled server cocks an eyebrow at the blue-eyed girl, but then shrugs and finishes passing out your meals. “Let me know if you need anything, and enjoy!”

“Time to dig in!” Crow says happily, and you all do just that. You leave Bella’s toy on level one for the rest of the meal, only lightly teasing her so that she can eat in relative peace. The three of you devour your respective foods, chatting and laughing as you eat, catching each other up on what’s been happening in your lives since the last time you all met up. It’s a ton of fun, some of the most you’ve had in a while. Once the meals are done and paid for, you all say good evening to Melissa, and then head out to do some training.
