Chapter 6 Leah's Love
Breakfast was a serve yourself kind of meal in Nick's house. Nick settled with an unimpressive meal of cereal, and I settled for berries. Leah had the same cereal as Nick. With my nightmare fresh in my mind, I couldn't help but see how well Leah and Nick got along.

I guess Leah must've been reading my mind or something because one minute she was lifting her spoon up to her mouth and the next, it was in her bowl, milk splashed on the counter. Leah stared at me for a moment. I don't know why, but I deliberately looked into her eyes, thinking of my nightmare so that would be the first thing she'd sift through.

"Trinity..." She began but stopped. I knew that she was sensing tension on my side, and I let her know that I knew. Nick looked back and forth between us, thoroughly confused. Suddenly, Leah got up and ran from the room, leaving me feeling guilty and Nick still feeling confused.

After a moment, I got up and ran after her, knowing that I had gotten mad over nothing, a mere dream. "Trinity?" Nick asked as I ran by.

"I'll be right back." I said, going through the door that Leah had. It led to a set of stairs and a hallway. I sampled the air for clues as to which way to go, but she was all over the place, not surprising for her and her mother's home. I sighed, knowing that she could also be invisible.

I chose the stairs, climbing up while deeply smelling the air as to not miss anything. The top of the steps ended at a hallway. Another set of steps was in front of me. Sighing, I went up. It stopped in another hallway. This hallway wasn't well traveled, I could tell, but the scent of Leah was strong. I followed it down the hall to a door with an open padlock on it. Leah definitely came to this room a lot, but why? I opened the door to see another set of stairs. Confused because the mansion only had three floors, I started up the steps and noticed that they were a spiral staircase. It came up to the center of a circular room ringed with a bench running completely around it beneath windows. The top came up to a point and I realized that I must've been inside one of the pointed rooms on top of the roof.

I saw Leah sitting on a bench overlooking behind the house. She was tapping the glass sadly, and I could tell she had no idea I had found her, despite the noise I was making. "Leah?" I called out guiltily.

She jumped and looked to me, surprised that I had found her. "Trinity, how did you...?" She stopped midsentence and looked back out the window.

"I'm sorry." I immediately said, feeling like it was the only thing to say. I sat next to her uncomfortably.

"For what?" Leah asked, making it obvious that she knew despite her question. She just wanted to hear me say it.

"For being mad at you for no reason. It was stupid, and I was stupid." I looked at my hands, ashamed of myself.

"Yeah well, I overreacted. Only a little though." Leah sighed after a moment. "I always come up here when I'm sad. This place makes me feel better." I looked over the roof and saw the green room. We were in the blue one. Looking over the roof, I saw that the mansion was shaped like a square with the side opposite the front missing, leaving an impressive fountain in the .

We were quiet for a few moments. I could tell that Leah was giving me space and not reading my mind.

"I would never do that to you." Leah said.

"What?" I asked.

"I'd never do what I did in your nightmare... or say those things." Leah replied.

"Yeah, I know it's just..." I started.

"Nick and I are just friends. That's all we'll ever be." Leah said. She was quiet a moment then said softly: "If I tell you something, will you swear not to tell anyone else?"

"Sure." I must've sounded too casual.

"Not on your life?"

"Yes." I didn't like her question, probably thinking something like: 'if I tell someone, will I die?'

Leah took a deep breath. I didn't need to have a special ability to know that she was nervous. "Do you know what a lesbian is?" she asked, not looking at me, preferring the view of the roof.

It sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had heard it before. "No, not really."

"A lesbian is a girl who doesn't like guys." Leah said.

"How can anybody not like guys?" I asked, confused. I understood not liking a certain guy, but not liking Nick?

"I mean not they don't fall in love with guys." Leah added.

"So then, who do they love?" I asked, even more confused.

"Lesbians are girls that choose to love other girls instead of guys." Leah finished.

I couldn't wrap my head around the thought. A girl falling in love with another? It seemed to make as much sense as the sun going out to save power. "How would they have sex then? How would they get pregnant?" I asked.

"They have sex in a little different way." Leah replied. "And they don't get pregnant off each other."

Suddenly something occurred to me. "Why are you telling me this?" I asked nervously.

"You promised not to tell anyone." She reminded me, stalling. Finally she looked me in the eyes, not to read my mind though, and said, "I'm a lesbian." She turned away from me and waited for a reply. I had none.

"Say something." She provoked. Her voice sounded distant, quieter than a mouse's. Please say something. Her voice echoed louder in my head.

"I'm not sure what to say." I said, my mind was whirling. I couldn't believe that there were such people in the world. And my friend being one of them? "Are you really?"

She nodded. Yes. I guessed that she didn't have the strength to speak.

"Why?" I asked, not being able to stop myself.

Can you answer why you love boys? She asked in return.

"It's just... the way I'm built." I replied.

Well this is the way I'm built.

"Are all Latias anthros like you?" I asked curiously.

Of course not! Leah exclaimed so loudly in my head that it hurt. My hand flew to my forehead along with a brief headache. "Sorry." Leah said in a shaky voice.

"Are you... about to cry?" I asked.

"Not if you say you're my friend still."

"Of course I'm still your friend.

"Most girls I tell it to don't want to be my friend anymore." Leah stated, finally smiling lightly. It lifted my spirits.

"Then that's their loss." I said. I knew I'd never look at her the same way again, but I also knew that I wouldn't forgive myself if I thought badly of her just because of her gender preference.

"Thanks Trinity. Everyone else in the house already knows except for Melly, but I'd feel better if you didn't talk about it okay?"

"Sure." I said, knowing that I really needed to ask Nick about this to see what he thought about it.


When we came back down to the dining room, Nick was still there, looking bored. When we came in he jumped up.

"Finally. What happened?" Nick asked right away.

"I told her that I was a lesbian." Leah said. My stomach still lurched at the mention of the word, but I didn't say anything.

Nick looked at me, and I gave him a weak smile, telling him I was okay with it. "That's good." He said. He obviously had no problem with it. I felt stupid for even thinking he might.

"You two should get going." Leah said, her smile returning to her bright face, her eyes shining blue. "You don't want to be late for work again." She giggled. "And don't you have a special package to pick up?" I shot daggers from my eyes at her, getting another giggle out of the Latias.

"She's right Trinity, we should get going." Nick pulled my arm toward the door.

See ya Trinity. Leah said in my mind, almost sounding flirty.


Nick stopped me when we stepped outside. "Are you okay Trinity?" Nick asked me.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"I mean how are you feeling about Leah?" Nick asked, almost as serious as when he swore he'd never hurt me.

"I just don't understand." I confessed.

"I didn't expect that you would." Nick kissed my nose. "It hit me hard when she told me, too."

"Did she tell you how she became a lesbian?" I asked. I couldn't see being a lesbian from birth... or being a lesbian at all for that matter.

"You should ask Jane about that." He said.

"Ask away, Trinity." a voice said from above my head. looking up, I saw Jane floating toward the ground above our heads. "I wanted to catch you two before you left to give you this." She put her balled hand into Nicks and deposited some green paper into it.

"I can't accept your money." Nick tried to give it back.

"I insist that you take it. I never got the chance to buy my daughter those berries. Besides, you're like family to me anyway." Jane smiled, reminding me of Leah's goofy smile. She looked me in the eye. "I'll tell you about it later when I'm sure that Leah isn't around."

"Okay." I replied awkwardly, wondering whether or not it was some big secret or not.

"You two should get going."


Then, before I knew it, we were walking down the dirt paths of Solaceon. It's true that some people stared at me and Nick. Some even made me so uncomfortable as to make me reach for Nick's arm. But just as many people said hi and smiled at us as we walked by. I always made sure to smile and say hello right back because if they took time to greet us, then why shouldn't I?

The daycare turned out to be huge! It was a fenced in area about as big as the mansion! A small grove of trees, a small lake, a small, rocky hill, a small field of grass, and a couple buildings was all that made up the area. Nick led me into the building that was half in the fence and half out. Pokémon followed us as far as they could up to the wall.

Inside was a small room with an elderly woman at a desk.

"Nickolas!" She said in a strong voice. She might've looked old, but I got the feeling that she had the heart of a lion. "And this must be the girl you went to get." I must've been famous or something, because she was probably the hundredth person to say that to Nick.

"This is Trinity." Nick flourished with his hands toward me like I was some sort of grand prize. Then again, I was his grand prize so...

"Hi." I said shyly. One good thing about Nick was that with him around, you never had to introduce yourself.

"My name is Ellen." She introduced herself, obviously not surprised about my ability to speak. "You're free to hang around, but we don't have any jobs available."

"Oh, I'm not here for a job, but I'll help if you need any." I said.

"Trinity's got superhuman strength." Nick explained. I didn't think that my strength was that impressive. Before I got caught, I could probably tear a small tree out of the ground as long as I could get a good hold on it. Now I could probably only overpower a man.

"That's very generous of you." She smiled then addressed Nick. "Clock in and then go tell Jerry that you're back."

Nick went to this clock thingy on the wall and stuck in a card that said Nickolas Jarrel on it. It made a clicking sound, and he pulled it out. I couldn't tell what it did before he pulled me away and out the door into the daycare area. Pokémon crowded around us like kids around an ice cream truck. Nick and I were so crowded that moving without stepping on a Pokémon would be an amazing feat.

"C'mon guys," Nick laughed, "Let us through." They didn't listen.

"Eevee." I shouted and their chatter hushed. In my native language I asked them all to move out of the way so Nick and I could get through. Being older than most of them, I held superiority. Most of them moved out of our way but continued to follow us as we went to a barn shaped building.

"You must be magic or something." Nick smiled at me. "Kevin and I can never get anywhere with all the Pokémon around us." The barn shaped building was open on one end to let Pokémon in and out of their sleeping quarters. Nick told me this as we crossed the stone floor and went through a door in the back, leaving the Pokémon behind.

The room was like a storage shed, if you can call a mess of tools arranged like a tornado had ripped through the room a storage shed. If you don't believe me, you should go take a look at the hammer stuck in the fluorescent lights. At a desk was an elderly man most likely older than Garter. Although he lacked the sparkling pale blue eyes Nick's family had, he did have a certain charm about him. He smiled and laughed heartily when Nick told him about how Leah had handled F.A.T.A. when they came back for me. He introduced himself as Jerry.

After a long and boring conversation, Nick bid Jerry farewell and led me outside. Nick seemed to have a knack of attracting all the Pokémon in the daycare, as they once again flocked around him until I dissipated the crowd. Nick said that his duty was basically to refill food, and water dishes then roam around making sure that everyone was staying out of trouble, collecting Pokémon eggs as well. He told me I could explore the grounds for a few minutes while he refilled the dishes inside the barn.

I took his advice and headed toward the stand of trees. As I walked around, I began to get homesick for the woods I grew up in, but not enough to even think of leaving Nick. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I decided to think about the night we'd finally have. Moisture gathered in my lower regions thinking about finally mating with my love. I imagined what he'd look like, and how much gentler he'd be than the men who'd trapped me. Unconsciously, my hand dropped to my vagina, and I was surprised by how swollen the pale lips were. My legs wobbled as I stroked it, and I wisely sat down on the ground with my back to a tree and my legs spread.

Looking at my pussy was like looking at a river, my juices gushing out and soaking my fur. My sensitive nose now picked up a strong musky smell that originated from between my legs. I realized that it had been about five days since I had masturbated, being too busy with Nick to stop and realize my body's needs.

I touched myself again, reasoning that now was as good a time as ever. I moaned and started stroking myself, coating my fingers in my arousal. Bringing my fingers up to my nose, I inhaled deeply. My eyes clouded with lust as I returned my hand to my vagina, stroking a bit faster. My tail twitched in pleasure as I moaned, my other hand coming up to slowly caress my breast.

My middle finger began to press harder and harder with each up and down stroke, beginning to push for entrance into my still-virgin pussy while my thumb pressed down gently on my clit. My back arched and I let out a moan as my finger broke through my vagina's outer wall. I squeezed my nipple in pleasure, sighing as my finger went in as deep as it could, and I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of my it deep inside me while my free hand squeezed my large breast.

I then pulled out slowly, rubbing my clit harder as I began to push it in again. After a few strokes, I pushed in another finger, there being more than enough fluid to push in a doorknob with ease. Then I began to gun it, pushing in and out faster and faster. My moans became louder and higher pitched, especially when I added a third finger. I could feel my climax coming, building in my heated pleasure.

"Trinity!" Nick's voice exclaimed.

I stopped, surprised at being brought back to reality so quickly. "Nick?" I looked to see him staring at me.

"What are you doing?" Nick asked awkwardly, blushing hard. I notice that his blush wasn't the only thing hard.

"Is something wrong?" I asked, getting up. During all the lessons he gave me yesterday, he had never hinted that anything like this was wrong.

"Yeah, you shouldn't do that in public..." He tried to sound like he was man but he couldn't help melting in my innocent eyes.

"But this isn't public." I replied, trying to build a case.

"Nowhere someone might see you." Nick corrected.

"I'm sorry." I looked down, feeling confused.

"No need to feel sorry, you didn't know." Nick put his fingers under my chin and lifted it up, making me feel less ashamed. His smile made me smile. "Besides, soon I'll be satisfying you anyway."

"I want to be satisfied now, though." I frowned, realizing all the glory of masturbating had since disappeared.

"You can wait can't you?" Nick asked. I didn't have the heart to say no to him.Chapter End Notes:Uhg!!! Yes, I know I've been gone for so long, but writer's block 'pretended' to be my friend for three monthes. I wrote and rewrote the daycare part hundreds of times before it occured to me to add somtething sexual. in any case, don't expect another for awhile... reviewing might speed up the process... (HINT HINT
