Twins of kalos (5th place in Adventure) PWA 2018

Chapter 17: Prescription*

Calem shook in his bed, groaning in his sleep. It's been like this since I brought him back in the rented room in the Shabboneau Castle. He was cold, needing multiple blankets I had to request from house keeping. The damn castle didn't have much to offer, so Z went off to find some and handed it off to Calem to bring down his cold

"Idiot" I soaked a wet rag in a bowl and placed it on his forehead. He opened his eyes and looked at me, breathing heavily "what?"

"T-that's cold..." I snatched it off

"Well what do you expect? I never done this before" I took the bowl away "I don't even know why I'm doing this. It's your damn fault for leaving at night in the first place!" He chuckled weakly

"Thank you... for doing that" I huffed, throwing the cold water away. How the hell am I suppose to do this? What am I doing taking care of him? "You have a real heart" I walked back to the room to slap his forehead "ow!"

"Let's get this straight, just because I look like Serena doesn't mean we're the same person" since he already saw me without my scarf, I thought it be useless to keep it on, and let my long hair flow down my shoulders "this was only because you took care of me before, so don't think I'm doing this out of my heart, because I don't have one" I raised his blanket to his chin, freezing when he gently felt my hair. He stared at me tenderly

"I know... I'm never going to compare you to Serena. You two are different, despite similarities in appearance. You're perfect" my face heated up "you've... matured, since the last I've seen you" I blinked confused

"What? What do you mean by..?" He fell back asleep. I groaned annoyed and send out Fennekin "I can just leave him here, but something doesn't let me... you!" I pointed at Fennekin, having it flinch with Eevee sitting by the bed, licking its paws "you're a fire type. Make sure you stay by this idiot to keep him warm while I go out to get some meds"

"Por?" Z seemed confused. I cupped my face, not knowing what was wrong with me, and hurried out the door with only sunglasses. With Z not knowing what this was for, I told it to send out the right prescription out to the system in this near by Pokémon center, it should be ready now. What I got Z to do was illegal, ordering drugs without a doctors consent... it helped me do much more things back when I was in a gang, and it was something I never cared about, one would say it wouldn't be something to be proud of, but I knew what I was doing, and now knew that even if it was illegal, I was aware of what kind of medicine he needed

"Serena?" I stopped running when I saw Shauna calling the name that was not mine "oh!" She hurried over "Sophia! Why are you out here without a scarf? I almost mistook you for Serena" she held her chin to stare at my appearance "besides the obvious, did your hair get longer since you came to Kalos?" I played with my long ponytail, stroking the strands a little nervously. I should had thought twice before storming out the room like this...

"No, the rest of my hair was in my scarf" she nodded

"That makes sense! I remember when Serena cut her hair short, it look a year for even a few inches to come in! She swears to never cut it again!" I sweat dropped. Serena showed up in a video chat with short locks down to her shoulders one day, needless to say... I could tell she didn't like it. When asking why she did it, she claimed she wanted a change, but something told me that wasn't the real reason. Whether or not she wanted to tell me, she looks nice in anything

"Right..." Shauna kept staring at me hiding down a little, realizing that I regret leaving outside with no disguise. She smiled and turned to dig in her bag to take out a large pink and orange floral patterned scarf

"Here!" She handed it to me. Huh? "I wanted to give that to you! As a gift!" I looked at her confused, staring at the pretty nice thick and wide scarf "I guess this is the best time to give it to you!" I looked at her smiling all happily
