No threesome tonight.

The four of you continue to sit and go through your phones for a while longer, with Blue on her own while you and your friends text away in the new group chat. You have fun chatting with Orion and the Celadon girls, catching up with them a bit and getting to know them all a little better, as well as discussing the Beginner Level Tournament that’s happening in Vermillion City soon. Raven and Rose have apparently just won their Boulder Badges, putting them each at 4 total badges and out of contention for the tournament. The Saffron boy though, he’s still at 2 badges, so he could compete if he wanted too. Even if he wins his own Boulder Badge, he’ll still be at 3 total and be eligible for the Beginner Level Tournament. Since there’s a quick route from Pewter to Vermillion - Diglett’s Cave - Orion could feasibly participate in the tournament if he wants to.

He tells you that he’ll definitely consider it, after which messages from him and the Celadon girls start to become few and far between. After a couple minutes of radio silence, Rose sends a final message for the night.

@AnyOtherName: Sorry, we’ve just suddenly become very BUSY again ;-) Talk to you all another time!

“Damn, those three are really making the most of the evening, huh?” Daniel says, grinning widely. “Good for Oreo man. He deserves this, he’s a cool dude.”

“For sure. Though I’m a little worried about whether or not he’s going to be able to keep up with those two for much longer. It sounded like they’ve already done quite a bit.” You wish you could lend the Saffron boy some of your unusually high stamina, it sounds like he might need it.

“Rose especially seemed like she was still in the mood, constantly flirting and making innuendos. Bet they’re having a lot of fun…” Kayla starts her statement off with a smile, but it fades as she trails off. “Um… boys?”

“Yeah, Kay?” The blonde boy turns his attention to his ****, as do you.

“Well, I…” The brunette hesitates, eyes flicking between the two of you, then speaks quietly. “Those three got me thinking about what we’ve been doing after dinner lately, and I… was just wondering if I could take a break tonight?”

The light mood between the three of you dissipates slightly, giving way to a more serious air. The earlier events of today return to the forefront of everyone’s minds, everything with Team Rocket, Agent Inferno, and the forfeit. A painful ache takes hold of your heart, but it’s quickly overwhelmed by compassion for the Vermillion girl. Of course she would want a night off, her legs had been so sore that her master had opted to carry her for the last part of the day. And who knows how her throat and vagina are doing after the poundings they received… All things considered, Kayla has really been powering through this evening like a trooper. She must be exhausted…

“Kay… Of course. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.” The blue-eyed young man reaches out and grabs one of the slim girl’s hands, squeezing it gently. “No need to feel obligated to have a threesome every damn night. If you’re ever tired or not in the mood, just say so.”

“But…” Kayla frowns, a conflicted look in her pale green eyes. “I’m… supposed to be a ****. Free-use to you guys whenever you’re in the mood. And I like that, so I do feel obligated…”

“There’s a line though, Kayla. And you just pointed it out. You like letting us do what we want with you. But if you’re not feeling it - for whatever reason - then you’re not liking it. And we aren’t exactly keen on making you do anything you don’t like. Because we care about you.” You give her a reassuring smile, and she returns it with a warm one of her own.

“Couldn’t have said it better myself Casanova.” Daniel winks at you, before shifting back to his fellow Vermillion trainer. “We’ll do what we want with you most days, because you’re our sexy little ****. But don’t be afraid to let us know when you need a break, okay? That’s how this works.”

“…Okay. Thanks, boys. Sorry for making a big deal out of this.” Kayla’s cheeks turn pink, but a happy smile adorns her face. It seems like any unnecessary guilt has been dealt with, which is nice. Thinking about what happened after the battle with Ed, then what happened after the battle with Inferno… These two really are good at keeping each other in check, keeping each other from emotionally slipping. And you’re glad that you’re able to help them too, in at least some way, considering how much they’ve helped you. Becoming friends with them really has had such a big impact on your life, in ways you never could have expected…

“Well thank Arceus for that. I was not looking forward to trying to sleep while the three of you went at it.” Blue’s abrasive voice cuts through the brief moment of quiet that follows Kayla’s words, drawing everyone’s attention to her.

“Oh, as if you wouldn’t have just secretly been watching the whole time.” The brunette shoots back, a playful smirk replacing the smile on her face. “Hey, maybe you could trade places with me for the night! What do you say, feel up to having some fun with the boys while I watch?”

The sandy-blonde bristles as she responds. “Uh, NO! I’m not some ‘free-use ****’ who lets just anyone have their way with me!”

“It’s not ‘anyone’, it’s Daniel and Red. If they ask me to do stuff with someone else then I will, but they’re the only ones who don’t need to ask.”

“Wow, my mistake. So you just do whatever these two losers say? Is that it?” The brown-eyed girl sneers at her newfound… how would you even describe their relationship?

“I absolutely do.” Kayla answers. “What, are you going to tell me you wouldn’t offer yourself to Violet in the same way? ‘Cause I’ll call you a liar.”

“Of course I’m not saying that!” Your rival replies sharply. “I’d be fine with Lady Violet doing whatever she wants to me!”

“And if she asked you to let someone else do whatever they wanted with you? What then?” The slim young woman challenges.

“I… Well, I trust her! She wouldn’t make me do anything I don’t want to do, so yeah!”

“What a coincidence, that’s exactly how I feel about Daniel and Red! I guess we aren’t so different after all!” A smug smile plays on Kayla’s lips, and she lets out a small laugh.

“Uh, WRONG. It’s definitely not the same.” The young blonde woman says stubbornly, refusing to accept her defeat.

“Oh? Please, explain how that’s different. Go on.” The green-eyed young woman places her chin in a propped up hand as she speaks, eyes half-lidded in amusement as she awaits your rival’s explanation.

“Because… Because… She’s Lady Violet!” Blue crosses her arms, glaring at the Vermillion girl in defiance.

“Such a compelling argument. Consider me convinced.” Kayla’s voice drips copious amounts of sarcasm as she replies, a blank look on her face.

“Listen here you-“ And just like that, the tension that had fallen over the camp fades as the two girls return to what has become their standard bickering. It’s nice in a way, since things had started to feel a little heavy as your trio’s minds were back on your run in with Team Rocket from earlier today, which had definitely been bringing the mood down even after reassuring Kayla everything was fine… Did Blue… do that on purpose? Sure, she had cut in on a sweet moment, but she also pulled everyone out of a bit of melancholy by opening herself up to more teasing… Maybe you’re just overthinking things, this is Blue after all. It’s entirely possible she was just being her usual self, and things worked out for the best.

Either way, most of the tension leaves your group for the rest of the night, and everyone settles in for another hour or so of banter and cleaning up after dinner. Blue and Kayla continue to trade jabs and tease one another, sometimes seeming in good fun and other times not. It’s hard to tell with these two at this point, and they’ve only known each other for a few hours. It’s honestly pretty fun to watch them, so you and Daniel mostly just keep quiet and let the girls do their thing. Eventually, the night winds down and the fire starts to die, so the four of you all ready your various sleeping bags and settle in for bed. The Vermillion pair curl up together with you lying nearby, while your fellow Pallet trainer remains on the other side of the fire on her own. As the low-burning flames continue to crackle, you close your eyes and let yourself drift off to sleep…

A short while later though, a sound pulls you from your slumber and you blink awake. You aren’t sure how much time has passed, but there’s still the faintest glow of firelight from the campfire, so it can’t have been terribly long. What woke you up though…?
