#10 of Love is Color Blind


Kuyomi had been discharged from the hospital that evening, and Robin called Ray to pick them up. If there was one good thing about being friends with a psychic-type almost as strong as an Alakazam, it's that it seemed their teleportation powers were limitless. She dropped them off in front of Jubilife University's dorm building, briefly chatting with them before she disappeared again.

The Umbreon slumped against Robin as they made their way up, still feeling pretty exhausted from the whole ordeal. He got a beep from his phone while they were on the elevator, which notified him someone was texting him. He briefly read the message before groaning, making Robin look over at him.

"Apparently, we're going to have a fun little surprise when we get to our place." Kuyomi explained, annoyed. This caused Robin to sigh in his own frustration, already guessing who he was about to have the displeasure to meet again.

"I really do hope your plan works out, I really would rather not get expelled." Robin commented.

"Reminds me, why are you so worried about that? It honestly seems like you really don't care for school."

Robin shrugged. "You're not wrong, but I've learned two things in the past weeks. One, you exist, and if I couldn't see you anymore, that would suck."

"Aw." Kuyomi smirked and nuzzled into Robin's side.

"And two, while I don't see myself leaving my stripping job anytime soon, I would still like to have a backup. The sooner I get out, the better."

"That's actually really smart of you." Kuyomi complimented. "I... don't think I actually have a backup plan, really."

"Well, whatever you come up with, I hope it involves me." Robin wished as he turned to kiss Kuyomi, who happily returned it. The kiss helped both of them with their nerves, but it was short lived as the elevator dinged, signalling they had arrived.

The couple made their way down the hall, getting looks from a few students on the way over. No doubt rumors about what happened had been spreading, but Robin couldn't be bothered. Right now, he just wanted to know his fate. With one final turn around the hall, they had arrived. Sure enough, the door was already unlocked, and the sight that greeted them made Robin want to punch something.

Sitting on the beds were Houdin and Tides, and sitting on the Vaporeon's shoulder was a Ditto with Eevee-like ears and a tail. This was the first time Robin had seen the Ditto in person, but he was still already pissed off at them too. Kuyomi sighed and waved at his parents.

"Hey Tides, hey Dee... Good evening ma'am." Kuyomi greeted. "I heard you guys had something you needed to talk with us about."

"Hi moonlight," Tides returned. "Yes, we would like to talk about your 'friend' here, seeing as he's the source for all this trouble."

"Oh, I'm the source of it?" Robin exclaimed. "Yeah, sure, blame it on the guy that saved your son's life and not the homophobic bitch who is currently ruining your son's bedsheets with her fat ass."

Houdin flared her nostrils, and Tides was about to bark back, but it was Dee who spoke up first. "Alright, alright, calm down, all of you." They sighed. "Robin, we know you did what you could, and we have heard from Kuyomi how Houdin seems to treat you, but the fact of the matter is something bad happened to our little Umbreon."

"I-I'm not exactly little anymore..." Kuyomi corrected.

"Even so, something needs to be done." Dee continued. "And according to the dean, it is up to us to really decide what happens to you."

Houdin gave a victorious smirk to that, glaring at Robin. To her surprise however, both Robin and Kuyomi seem to have their own victorious smirks. Kuyomi then pulled out his cellphone and tapped something on there while Robin talked.

"Is that what she told you?" Robin asked. "That it was up to you guys? Did either of you actually get a chance to read through that contract we had to sign before all of this?"

Houdin's smile turned into a frown, and you could see some color drain from her face. Dee raised an eyebrow and turned to Tides. "Of course, Tides read the entire thing through."

Kuyomi put away his phone and put his hands behind his back. "Yes, they did, but only briefly. I seem to recall Tides not being very good at reading the fine print in a lot of instruction manuals, hoping to figure stuff out as they went."

Tides blinked and furrowed his brow. "I-I mean, yeah, but I swear I read the entire thing. It was about keeping you safe after all!"

Out from behind Kuyomi, a large stack of papers had appeared in his hands, with a book mark sticking out from it. "Then maybe you might remember something that was specifically written in it in the section regarding Robin's punishment." He then flipped to the bookmarked page as Robin moved his ribbon down 'til he found the line he was looking for. He then looked over at Houdin, who was looking livid.

"I-Is that... How the fuck did you get that?" She growled. "That is supposed to be locked up behind a barrier that prohibits even teleportation!"

"I mean, it's pretty common knowledge that you don't actually lock the door." Robin explained. "You just act like you do so people don't try the simplest solution. For a species renowned for their high IQ, you're kind of a dumb Alakazam."

If it was even possible for Houdin to look more pissed, she achieved it. Robin then brought the contract papers over to her, pointing at a line. "Here, why don't you read this section to the class for us?"

Houdin snatched the papers out of the Sylveon's hands and adjusted her glasses, looking at where he was initially pointing. "'If Robin Pluto is to fail at accomplishing any of the given tasks, making the living for Kuyomi Luna unsatisfactory and/or dangerous... then Robin Pluto will be removed, suspended, and permanently banned from the Jubilife University campus and all its classes, as well as lose all recorded college credits, as stated in the Protection of Disabled Pokés Act. If this is the case, Houdin Prince may decide on the punishment,' See? I don't see what you're playing at."

Robin rolled his eyes. "Continue reading, or I'll read it myself. And don't skip anything this time."

Houdin grumbled and then continued. "'Houdin Prince may decide on the punishment, but it is up to Kuyomi Luna whether or not he wishes to follow through with this punishment. If Kuyomi Luna decides no, then all charges and accusations for that falter will be terminated.'"

Kuyomi nodded and then looked at his parents. "W-while I appreciate you guys looking out for me, I need you to understand I can handle myself. I know it seems like from what limited knowledge about this situation there was that Robin seems to not care, but he does care. He... he cares a lot." Kuyomi moved closer to the Sylveon, hugging him. "H-he saved me from something much worse, and I can't punish him for doing something good. So no, he will not be getting sued, and I... d-demand we drop all charges now."

The room went silent after that. Tides and Dee were both surprised, not just because they were being strung along by Houdin, but also because of how strongly Kuyomi defended Robin. Houdin was appalled, livid, and was so tempted to break few laws because of just how hard she got outplayed. And finally there was Robin and Kuyomi, who both were basically holding their breath in anticipation of what happened next.

Finally, Dee spoke up. "Well, I guess that takes care of that. Guess we should've asked our own son what he wanted. Sorry Robin, we were fools."

Robin finally let out a breath of relief. "It's alright." He replied shakily, wanting nothing more than to collapse.

Kuyomi also relaxed a little and looked at Houdin. She looked incredibly scary to the poor Umbreon, but he tried his best to speak. "M-Ma'am, you have all the documents with you, r-right? C-could you bring them with us i-into the bathroom?"

Instead of doing as Kuyomi asked, Houdin disappeared. Robin assumed she was too pissed and embarrassed to be in their presence anymore, which brought him so much joy. He picked up her slack instead, taking all the papers she left behind and bringing them into the bathroom. He followed Kuyomi's instructions, dropping them in the bathtub. Kuyomi then asked Tides to use Hydro Pump on the papers, which they did reluctantly, resulting in the destruction of the documents. Finally, Robin felt whatever leftover tension he had finally leave him.

After a few more apologies and some talking, the Vaporeon and Ditto were finally being ushered out. Robin was back on good terms with them, and he hoped he'd be able to see them in brighter lights next time. When they finally stopped giving affection to their son, Robin closed the door and put his back against it, slumping to the floor.

"Goddamn, if this is how you felt yesterday, I don't envy you." He commented, eliciting a giggle from Kuyomi, who joined him on the floor shortly after.

"Hey, it can't all just be rainbows and moonlight." Kuyomi remarked.

"You know, that kind of describes the two of us in general. Rainbows, referencing how fucking gay we are, and moonlight, referencing mostly your species."

"I mean, they did give me that nickname after I evolved. It's sweet." Kuyomi then turned and pulled Robin into another hug, this one lingering on so long it turned into a cuddle. He sighed, nuzzling into the Sylveon's chest. "Thank you for helping me through this. It means so much."

Robin kissed the top of his head and rubbed his back. "Of course, and thank you for saving me. I really don't know what I'd be doing if this all went south. I don't think I could've asked for a better boyfriend."

Kuyomi looked up at Robin surprised. "B-boyfriend? W-when did that happen?"

Robin blushed and sort of panicked. "D-did I say boyfriend? I-I meant... ROOM-FRIEND! Yeah, yeah that's what I meant, I mean, y'know, unless you want to, uh, be boyfriends... I-It's your call really, I'm fine w-"

The Sylveon was cut off as he felt some lips land on his. He closed his eyes as he was kissed, holding the Umbreon tighter. It felt so different this time. It wasn't just a kiss of two people in a lust-driven frenzy, or one of minor affection. This was a kiss of love, actual love, and it absolutely elated Robin. The fireworks sparked, lights glowed, and he was on cloud nine or some other cheesy metaphor, that's how he would describe the kiss. He thought it wouldn't end.

"Yes, I would like to be boyfriends." Kuyomi whispered when they finally broke. "In fact, I want to show you just how happy that makes me."

Robin chuckled, getting up and swooping the Umbreon up bridal style. "I would like that a lot. It has been a few hours. Promise you aren't going to get bad flashbacks?"

Kuyomi nodded. "Yes, and I'll ensure that by being on top this time."

Robin raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Oh, playing like that are we?"

With that, the two shared another passionate night, fueled by not just lust, but pure, romantic love. It was rocky, but the two couldn't have asked for a better beginning to their lives with each other. The road was long, but as long as the two eeveelutions had each other, they had the confidence to get through it together.

THE END
