Too Much Love?

Okay, I want to say this without being mean to her --- Starley is too touchy. I do love her, but she's around me all the time, it makes me a little uncomfortable and I want to tell her that but I'm scared to, she's like a glass, very delicate if handled to roughly. It all started about three months after she told me about her feelings for me, she would always lay her head on me, I never thought she would attach to me like a glued school project, but she did, it went from that to cuddling, to kissing me when I least expected it, to depending on me to protect her from other Pokémon who want to kill or possibly eat her. I understand she wants to learn more about me, I'm cool with that - honestly. I just wish she could respect my space, because I respect hers. Today she was helping Serenity out in the fields picking berries, I tried to sneak past her and Serenity then I tripped on a tree root and landed on my face, it hurt and Starley rushed over to me and took me inside for one of Solaria's ointment treatments, the ointment honestly didn't sting which surprised me, but what didn't surprise was how this Eevee held me like I was a plush doll, like the one that got me turned into an Eevee, again I do like her, I just want her to respect my personal space.

"Starley"

"Yeah?"

"Can you let go of me now"

"Nope"

When she said that, my face turned red, "D-Don't you think this is too much"

"Not at all" She told me, and then squeezing me harder, aggh! I'm telling you she's stronger then she looks. All I could do was sigh and let her rub her cheek on my head and kiss me every two minutes.

Later that night I decided to go to Serry about this, I was not so sure about the advice he'd give me but I shook all the nervousness out and went up to the Umbreon, I noticed he stole a school text book - from my school!

"Hey! That's from my school!" I shouted.

Serry looked down at me, "It's from your human school?"

"Yes" I replied, I could not help but groan, then I remembered why I was there, "Can I talk to you about your daughter"

"What about her?" Serry asked, his head tilted to his right side.

I sat him down on one of the pillows and explained everything to him. His answer was pretty interesting though...

"So she's glued to you?" Serry asked.

"Yes" I really don't know why"

Serry took a deep breath, "She's overprotective"

"R-Really?" I replied, I think I was astonished because Serry's had a surprised face.

"Yep. She had another boyfriend, a Pikachu, his name is Sosa. They broke up because Sosa was getting tired of her holding onto to him. I find it a relief he didn't decide to electrocute her" Serry replied, then the suddenly curious Umbreon bought up another question.

"Is my daughter okay with you being used to being human?" Serry replied.

"Yes, I told her. I don't think she really cared"

"Hm - I see" Serry replied, "Anyway. Just be patient with her and talk to her about it and if she doesn't stop please let me know"

"Um Sure"

Later after leaving Serry's room, Starley scared me, it was like she just popped into my vision, I jumped - too high, and hit the ceiling. I remembered how powerful Eevee legs were. When I came back down the pain echoed all over me, holy Arceus it hurt.

"B-Blake! I'm so sorry please don't be upset, I didn't mean for that to happen, I swear!" Starley shouted out of nervousness.

She legit thought I was going to scream at her, but I'm not that kind of person - blegh! - Pokémon.

"Chill Star! I'm alright. Just don't get too close to me" I replied, my nerves still screaming 'it fricking hurts!'. I could not help but hold onto my head.

"Blaze is finished preparing dinner, c-come on" She said.

"What is it?" I asked as the pain subsided.

"Fried Furrette! My favourite!" She replied.

I felt myself cringe, "No thanks"

"Why not?"

"Humans don't eat Furrettes - I think"

"Oh okay" She replied disappointedly, her ears drooping like dead flowers.

At that moment I got very nervous, I did not want her to feel ashamed of her favourite food. I don't think there was any other option as I felt the sweat secrete from my body, and I knew I wouldn't like this but I had really now other option.

"Uh Uh I'll try it!" I shouted.

She slowly looked up at me, her ears coming back to life and a smile on her face.

"Y-You will"

"Yes" I said threw my teeth.

She grabbed me and began squeezing me tightly, I felt like she was an Arbok trying to constrict me with Wrap.

"Oh Thank You! I knew you cared about my feelings!" She replied, "Do you?"

"Y-Yeah" I replied.

Her face turned red as her smile grew wider, and since being here for three months has allowed me to get to know her well - I knew this meant one thing...

"Oh karp" I said to myself.

Then she knocked me onto the floor and began kissing me gently and affectionatly, at least she was happy.

After dinner, I took her upstairs to my room and I began to start the conversation about my space bubble and my privacy.

"So Starley"

"Yeah?"

"I wanna talk to you about personal space. I talked to your dad about it and he told me to have this talk with -"

"Wait is he splitting us up?! Oh I knew this day would -"

"No Starley! Relax! I don't plan on breaking up with you. Okay?" I snapped.

"Oh I was scared for a moment... Sorry"

"It's alright" I replied.

"So you want me to give you personal space. I see, sorry if I caused you any trouble" She said.

"It's okay" I replied.

Then she gave me a hug, "At least you aren't like my old boyfriend"

I frowned, "Yeah - I'm not. I'll be as patient as I need to be with you"

"That's what I like about you" She replied.

"Oh umm okay" I did not expect that to be something she loved about me.

"Well - It's getting late, I think we should get to bed!" Starley told me, then she yawned and kissed my face.

"Yeah" I replied, "Let's get to bed - oh and thanks for having this talk with me"

She looked up at me, "You're very welcome"
