Arceus, Elayne was so perfect? Considerate, kind, loving, affectionate, earnest, gentle, straightforward yet devious in the best ways— Haiiro could go on and would go on in his background thoughts. From her most subtle gestures to her plans and preparations, Elayne just had a way of radiating perfection, and it killed him perfectly. He loved her so so so so much. He wished he could express that enough, but words failed him. They always failed him.
It would take Elayne letting go for Haiiro to slowly do so as well. As Elayne explained her reasoning, Haiiro smiled a little more and shook his head. She didn’t need to, she knew that but… doing so made it feel that much more important somehow? Special, perhaps was the better word. Our favorites and a bottle of wine… His lips parted some but words still failed him. Haiiro took in a breath instead and leaned forward pressing his lips to Elayne’s and holding it there for a while.
Slowly breaking the kiss after a moment, Haiiro rested his forehead on Elayne’s. “Thank you..” the words came out quiet, weak, but there none the less. Slowly shifting to sit down on the blanket next to her, he felt… so at peace with everything right then.

Orange eyes searched blue ones as she waited for an answer or some reply to one of the many, many reasons Elayne had chosen to surprise Haiiro that day. Really, Elayne enjoyed spoiling Haiiro, enjoyed seeing him speechless and flustered. He might be quiet and not explicitly say everything that was on his mind but...Elayne could just ... tell how much she meant to him, and vice versa. The smile and shake of Haiiro's head earned a soft giggle from Elayne as she explained part of what was still hiding in the basket. When Haii leaned forward and kissed her, Elayne hummed contentedly, once again wrapping her arms around him once again as she kissed him back. It was no secret that she enjoyed kisses and well, it was perhaps one of the best ways to show how you were feeling, even without words. Elayne lost track of how long the kiss lasted, but she still wasn't exactly ready to break it when he did. Still, the way he rested his forehead against hers had her smiling, blushing a little at his thanks. For some reason, words had decided to abandon her now as she grinned wider and nodded in response. A quick kiss would be given before they sat back down on the blanket. Slowly, carefully, Elayne started to pull more of the more romantic touches to the blanket. A few electric candles would be placed in the center and at a few other places on the blanket. Then the food, glasses, and the bottle of wine. Glasses would be poured for both of them and one handed to Haii. After all of the food had been placed out, Elayne gestured to the food before smiling warmly at Haii, "Take your pick~," she mused, picking out her own food while she was at it. The way it was set up was sort of like a buffet. There was enough food for at least one serving of everything but then again, Elayne had been busy trying to get everything ready and perfect. There were a few other surprises, but that could wait until after they were both done eating.

After helping Elayne with the candles and food, Haiiro would sit back as a glass of wine was poured for him. He wasn’t too big into alcohol but could stand a little now and again. A drink for romance’s sake was just the thing, and he would take a small sip once it was handed to him.
The gesture had him fishing up a curry dish first and some silverware. He’d eat a little of that before moving on to some rice balls wrapped in lettuce, and from there he’d try some of the candied veggies. It was all pretty good, and considering how different their taste in cosine was, Haiiro could guess how much work Elayne had put in. It was a nice feeling, a very nice feeling.
Sitting back once he’d reached a point where he could say he was full, Haiiro glanced back to Elayne with a small appreciative smile. You’re amazing, Elayne… No words hit the air, but the thoughts shown in his eyes all the same.

The meal would pass in silence with Elayne watching Haiiro's expressions carefully, somewhat worried he wouldn't like what she had made. It had taken a while to prepare everything after all but it seemed that at the end of the day, it seemed she needn't have worried. Though she didn't particularly care for some of the more spicier foods that Haiiro liked, but there were some that they both liked and Elayne was willing to compromise on those. The candied veggies and rice balls were a few she did enjoy but the pasta dishes she'd made were some that she'd grown up with. They were all she had left of her home now, of her family. As Haiiro sat back, Elayne snuggled close, nestled against him comfortably. She could see his smile and knew very well what it meant, what his eyes showed all too clearly. For all she was, Elayne was very glad and somewhat relieved that Haiiro had enjoyed the picnic as much as he had. One arm wrapped around his waist as she leaned forward, pressing her lips to his in a soft, gentle kiss. It was meant to be sweet, a way to show just how much she loved him without words. For the few moments the kiss lasted, time seemed to stand still. The world only contained the two of them, and Elayne didn't want it to end. Still, there was something else that she wanted to give Haiiro... and though getting lost in the kiss was tempting, it would mean forgetting his surprise. Breaking the kiss, Elayne nuzzled him briefly, giving him another quick kiss before her free hand reached into the basket and brought out a small ring box. "I have something for you," Elayne murmured softly, handing the box to Haiiro, "Open it~,"she encouraged, smiling warmly at him as she rested her head against him. Inside the case would be the Z-charm she'd found a while back and had been keeping safe, waiting for the perfect moment to give Haiiro this gift. Not only that, but it had been personalized into a ring and inlaid with blue gems that matched his eyes. There was an open space in the center to allow a Z-crystal to be placed in the middle, but for now, Elayne would forgo an explanation as to what it was while she waited to see what Haiiro's reaction would be.

As Elayne’s lips met his own, Haiiro felt at peace. This was… this was perfect in all sense of the word, and he wouldn’t trade it for anything. Still, his eyes would open again and reflect on the ring box with surprise. She… SHE? Blue eyes flicked form the box to orange-brown eyes and then back down again. Hesitantly, Haiiro took it into his hands and carefully opened it.
Lips parted, but no words came out. The nature of this Z-ring, a literal ring, didn’t register in Haiiro’s mind. Even with the charm having no immediate jewel, the jewels around it registered as …. Blue eyes flashed up to orange-brown ones again, and suddenly Haiiro was blinking a bit too hard. His eyes glossed slightly, and he gulped. He’d… he and Felis had forgone proposing to Elayne because of all the stress that had suddenly erupted right around that time. She’d used his surname as an alias, but it Wasn’t The Same. And now… now? He … wasn’t even sure what the was feeling?
Some part of him felt loss, loss of what, he had no idea. Another part of him felt joy, manic joy, but it came and went so rapidly that he couldn’t even express it. Other parts of him were too twisted and convoluted to parse out, so he just sat there blinking harder and harder until finally a couple tears trickled down his cheeks. “….Yes?” he finally spoke-asked.

Elayne watched Haiiro's reaction carefully after he opened the box, curious as to what he would think about the Z-Charm she'd customized just for him. It had taken longer to get it to him then she'd expected but judging by Haii's reaction, the wait had been well worth it. It didn't even occur to her that giving him a ring box given the circumstances could be misconstrued as anything other than a sweet gesture. Maybe it was something she'd picked up from Felis, but Elayne liked to spoil Haii on occassion and this just happened to be one of those times. All that planning and sneaking around had been worth it just to see Haiiro's face when he opened the box. When blue eyes rose to meet her orange ones, Elayne couldn't help but smile warmly, grinning more when she heard the questioning answer that came next. "Do you like it?" Elayne asked softly. The answer was an obvious yes, but she felt the need to ask it all the same. "I found it when I was exploring some ruins. It's called a Z-Charm, have you heard of it before?"she continued softly, raising a hand to show him her own Z-charm ring with similar blue stones that matched Haiiro's. "I found one a little while ago too. It took me a little while to get them customized but I really like the results," Elayne explained, "See? The blue stones on yours match your eyes while mine has lighter blue stones. One of my friends, Lucien, explained to me what they do. I can show you if you'd like,"she continued excitedly, falling silent while she waited for some kind of response.

Did he like it? All kinds of words bubbled up but failed to pass Haiiro’s lips. Instead, they swirled around between the forefront and back of his mind like a torrent. Haiiro gulped. He wanted… wanted to say something? Something more? Elayne was explaining something, however, and that was vaguely more important. Wait… Z-charm? As Elayne held up her own, he blinked slowly. It’s…. This… this wasn’t a proposal? Or? Was it? Or? Aksjdalksjd?? He needed to focus on what Elayne was talking about, but it was Near Impossible now.
When Haiiro’s lips finally parted, a strange noise escaped passed them. He found himself shifting forward of his own accord, and arms wrapped around Elayne immediately after. “Thank you…” came the shaky, almost inaudible words. He needed to do something, say something more, confirm whatever or do … whatever but right then he just couldn’t even…. Calm down enough to. Not yet.

As excited as she was, Elayne didn't miss that strange sound that escaped Haiiro after she finished explaining. What? Was something wrong? Did he just not understand or...? Before Elayne could ask, Haiiro hugged her and whispered that shaky thank you. Relieved that nothing was horribly wrong, Elayne hugged him back tightly. "You're welcome~,"Elayne chimed, smiling warmly at him, "I'm glad you like it. Ya alright?" she continued, pulling away enough to look at him. Concern played on Elayne's features, she knew that Haiiro was usually quiet but this was getting to be a little worrisome. He didn't seem upset or anything, but now that she thought about it, Haii had been acting a little strange since she'd first shown him the box. Could he have thought... no, that wasn't-... maybe?? Hopefully she hadn't said anything wrong, it wasn't like she'd meant to upset him but... well, he seemed happy so maybe not?

Was he alright? No, Haiiro wasn’t, but he couldn’t even begin to explain why, so it didn’t really matter. Instead of speaking, he gave a small resounding nod. He’d… he would be alright eventually, yeah. Just… just a little shaken to the point he couldn’t explain himself. That was all. Shifting a little away from Elayne, he ended up pulling out a pen and the small notebook he carried with him. Scratching down what he meant, he held it forward.
-- Because it was a ring, I thought it was something else--
His eyes tapered away from hers, and he gave a small shrug in response. Well, it clearly wasn’t that so… whatever. Shifting what he had in his hands, he’d slip off a glove and try on the ring. It fit snugly but wasn’t impossible to shove on so… Well, this would work at least.
…Now what was a Z-charm exactly? He looked up thereafter a bit more confused than anything.

The longer Haiiro waited, the more concerned Elayne grew. Had she said something wrong? Whatever it was, it had been enough to make him unable to speak, and that worried her even more. Leaning over a bit to read what he was writing, Elayne blinked when Haiiro held the note forward. He thought it was something else... A ring? He thought-... The realization of what the surprise had done turned Elayne's face scarlet and for a few moments, she was struck speechless. He'd thought...she proposed? That made her smile, certainly, but it wasn't exactly a ridiculous notion. Leaning forward, she kissed Haiiro's cheek and watched as he put the Z-charm on. It looked nice on him and now they had a matching set of Z-charms. Maybe they would have another matching set of rings in the future but for now, this would do. Haiiro's confused expression elicited a soft giggle from Elayne. Right. She was going to explain what Z-moves were before Haiiro made her worried. It would take a little more time to explain what the crystals did and how they fit into the Z-Charm but Lily did a good job demonstrating the Z Move just like before. The Meganium was pleased with herself but tired and ended up sleeping in the sun after that. "Do you understand? I tried my best to explain it but if you have more questions I can try my best to answer them,"Elayne asked, smiling a bit after demonstrating the move.

The cheek kiss had Haiiro’s features burning. He tried mostly in vain to try and distract himself via learning about this new power of sorts, but …. Fffff, his mind was elsewhere, he supposed.
As Elayne began explaining how it worked and even demonstrated the power of the move after a bit, Haiiro found himself stunned into still more silence. That was… a hell of a lot of power that could just be dropped almost on a dime. It was almost vaguely comparable to what he had seen of Mega Evolution, but now he was thinking about that too and wondering how much power could be released on a moment’s notice if something both Mega Evolved and released that kind of burst power. Was it even possible? He had to wonder.
….And then he had to wonder maybe if he had had this kind of power before, might he have been able to protect Elayne, Felis, and all the others better? Might he have been able to keep the Rebels off a little longer? Might he have been able to save Sai and Isa from their fates? Haiiro was blinking hard again, and a hand reached up to cover his eyes. He wished… he wished there was a way to go back…. He wished so dearly.

After she had finished explaining what the Z charm did and illustrating it, Elayne turned to suggest that Haiiro try it in turn.What she hadn't expect was seeing him so upset? What? Why? How? This... wasn't at all how she imagined the day would go. Somehow Elayne had managed to make Haii upset not once but twice and it made her stomach twist with guilt. "Haii...?"Elayne whispered, approaching him quietly and wrapping her arms around him. She didn't know exactly what had happened to make him so upset but she could hold him, comfort him. "It's alright, Haii... I'm here,"Elayne murmured softly, holding him close as she rubbed his back soothingly. It was all she could do, at least until Haii was able to explain the sudden tears.

He missed them. Arceus he missed his Pokemon. He felt so guilty for catching others, for moving on with life when they couldn’t. If he could just… reverse time, go back to when they were protecting him, and stop their deaths…. If he could just…
Haiiro’s face fell into Elayne’s shoulder, and it was only after that that he realized she was right there. Arms wrapped around her, trying to be gentle but clearly clinging. His breath heaved a little as two tiny words came forward: “My Pokemon…” His Pokemon. So many of his Pokemon taken down, not just defeated but killed. If he could have just done something, anything, everything, surely it would have spared them…
For a while, Haiiro could do nothing but choke back sobs. He clung to Elayne because she was there, because she was soothing, because she was alive, but it physically hurt him to think about everyone else. Why did he have to lose them? Why did they have to die? Why couldn’t he have found a way— this way— sooner? It wasn’t fair….

Elayne could feel Haiiro's arms wrap around her almost painfully so. She held him closer in turn, trying to be as comforting as she could. The feeling of him clinging to her, of his breathing, it hurt but not near as much those two words did. My Pokemon... Yes, that hurt, that pain never really went away even though she loved her new Pokemon, loved her breeding ranch. Those first few that died for her though... Elayne knew she would always miss them. "I know..." Elayne murmured softly, her voice wavering from the emotion behind it. She knew exactly how it felt, knew how hard it was. She could still remember her own Pokemon... how they had sacrificed their lives for her. It was a miracle that her first three Pokemon had survived in the hell that Era had become; Elayne knew that. It didn't make it any easier though, especially knowing that there might have been something they could've done to keep them safe. Holding back her own tears now, Elayne continued to hold Haiiro, stroking his back gently. There was nothing else she could say, nothing else she could do. It hurt too much to think about the past but... they could move forward, they could make new bonds, form new friendships. If nothing else, she owed the Pokemon that gave their lives for her that much.

By the time he settled again, Haiiro looked a little worse for wear. Sitting back, he seemed exhausted, burdened, worked up and rung out. Words failed him now. Thoughts failed him. Emotions too complex and confusing to understand spiraled in a torrent that he could not quell of his own volition. Blue eyes closed briefly, and he sighed weakly. A hand shifted to the notepad he’d set down, the other to the pen. A quick write out and hold forward followed.
-- Sorry, I know this is supposed to be happy -- -- I know that this is supposed to be a good day-- -- But if I’d just had this kind of power or even Mega Knowledge before, they might have come out alive--
“They” being obvious by that point.
