[ after this fantastic occurrence—
Wallace half expected Steven to shuffle along beside him so they can get going. Get going where, precisely? Wallace wasn't too specific with where they were heading, but Steven's hesitance caused him to pause and look over his shoulder. ]
What's the matter? Surely you don't plan on spending the rest of this fantastic evening by yourself, do you?
[ just what.. is he insinuating here.
what is he ever insinuating anytime anywhere? ]

Steven had given him a solid answer that he, in fact, was going to accompany Wallace in his judging for this contest. The best way to get to Johto from here was to book a private flight through the contest agency that was paying for it, in Wallace's opinion. Some people might have taken other methods, but he preferred one straight, quick travel to where he needed to go. It was less hectic that way. He requested two tickets.
He had probably too much luggage for his own singular person the carry; a lot of cargo for the event was being sent there through other means.
But in any case, they're both boarding now, and he glances over his shoulder. ]
I'm sure you get exhausted with traveling too.
[ he knows he does.
He was wearing something like this, though his eyes were covered with sunglasses. It was bright out today! ]

but thankfully, mr. stone is pretty understanding when steven asks him for vacation time, and the league has a hard time saying no to the champion. it's how he managed to secure some time off to accompany wallace to johto - he'll be able to get some work done there with silph co. representatives, while also staying by his lover's side.
he had almost offered wallace the company private jet that he takes to avoid any pomp and circumstance, but remembered that they were still technically under wraps. taking someone on his plane would suggest something, and besides - accepting an offer from the contest agency could end up being good PR.
as opposed to wallace, steven is travelling light - just a simple suitcase and small carry-on for his pokénav plus, cell phone, and other little personal items. ]
Sometimes, but it's better than sitting around. People still like to portray me as the "spoiled heir" type, and I like to prove them wrong.
[ fuck gossip magazines and tv shows tbh, he's on the pokéforbes top 30 under 30. he's wearing something a little more relaxed, but they do certainly look like a fashionable couple.
no subject
Their bags are taken as they walk up the staircase to the jet and Wallace instantly makes himself comfortable. Again, he's letting his hair down in front of Steven and going right ahead to lounge, lying back on the sofa against the arm rest and folding his arms behind his head. He felt like he could really do this either by himself or with Steven; in front of others he seemed to carry himself differently and more modestly. He keeps his sunglasses on and drops his head back. ]
Phew. I'm already tired. I suppose it's just from thinking about everything that's going to happen this weekend.
no subject
he walks behind the couch to get behind wallace, leaning over him to smile at him and drop a gentle, upside-down kiss on his forehead. gaaaaaay. ]
We'll have fun, I promise. Try not to stress yourself out too much.
no subject
I'm really happy you decided to come along. Haha, I never know what to think when it comes to you and contests and so it surprised me when you said you wanted to go.
[ a little ding sound. ]
You should probably at least take a seat.

I certainly don't have what it takes to participate in one, but I do quite enjoy watching them. It always warms my heart to see Pokémon and Trainers working together, whether on the battlefield or the stage.
Besides, this is a prime opportunity for us to spend some time together. I'm always happy to accompany you.
he makes it sound so formal and cool but he's really a that annoying fan-person wallace can't stand
It is a good opportunity for that! Wouldn't it be fun to gamble while we are there? I always liked doing some of that! It's so amusing.
People getting so anxious over something like money— I just love seeing what they do to places like this and what ways people are betting on.
[ wallace it's none of your business. ]
this is why he's a closet fan
at his suggestion, he chuckles. ]
I can't remember the last time I went gambling... but if there's any place to do it, I suppose Goldenrod would be it. I suppose it could be fun.
[ and he's not so irresponsible as to pawn off the family fortune, so why not? they're on vacation. ]
god
[ oh goodness... ]
no subject
[ oh, that has him quirking an eyebrow. don't test him, wallace. ]
Care to make an official wager out of that confidence?
no subject
Wallace shifts to the side a little, propping one elbow on Steven's shoulder as he allows his hands to meet together, his own fingers folding delicately as he looks at Steven with a smug grin and eyes full of interest. ]
Money? Or something else? Such as a task or dare of some kind.
[ because lol money. ]
no subject
[ basically, this is a glorified truth or dare with money. they are literally children with too much time and cash on their hands. ]
On the highly improbable chance that you win, what would you like from me?
no subject
As he mulls over this thought, his eyes look at him fondly, a little soft smile appearing on his face. ]
Hmmmm.
[ should he be concerned. ]
no subject
Well?
no subject
Well indeed.
[ His hand lifts, brushing some of that silvery hair back before his hand drops, but not before trailing lightly down Steven's chest. ]
—I think you should compete in a contest! Whether it be along my side or allowing me to spectate.
[ of course. ]
no subject
What? [ he really shouldn't be as shocked as he is. ] Wallace, performing is your niche - you can't very well expect me to...
[ measure up? be as talented as you? he trails off, so we will never know how that sentence ends. ]
no subject
[ He takes this moment to place one curved knuckle under Steven's chin and lean in, kissing the edge of his mouth softly. ]
But I'd really love to see you up there— doing the very thing I am so passionate about! C'mon, don't act shy about it. Even if it's just one of the smaller contests!
no subject
but he does manage some kind of action, gently pressing their foreheads together as he tries to regain his composure. ]
...And that's truly what you want? What would make you happy?
no subject
[ you know Wallace and that public. He really does love it, even if he seems exhausted by it sometimes.
His palms move to Steven's shoulders in a smooth motion down to his chest again. He leaves his hands there, tipping his head to the side and look at his lover curiously. ]
What about me, hm? It's your turn, mon cher.
no subject
[ man, he's definitely going to regret this if he ends up losing... but even if he does win, seeing wallace so happy has him wondering if he should surprise him and do it anyway. it's something to consider. ]
An exhibition battle between the two of us.
[ he very well can't ask for a blowjob now, so this is his backup. yawn. ]
no subject
Wallace makes a little humming sound, figuring he might suggest something like this.
The coordinator finally shifts in his seat to turn so that his back is facing Steven before wiggling to get comfortable by dropping his head into Steven's lap. His hands fold neatly on his own chest as he gazes up at Steven. ]
Tell me the rules, then.
no subject
Six-on-six, no substitutions. It's been awhile since we've battled... so I want a reminder of how fun it is.
[ a fairly standard drivel for a champion, but every inch of his words have truth to them. ]
no subject
And so, he lifts his head for a moment so he can remove his beret before settling back down on Steven's lap. ]
I suppose it's sort of fun.
[ he's like a person who just bought a new car when it comes to his prized Pokemon; doesn't like the paint scratched.
He seems to appear very comfortable as his eyelids fall shut, nose tipped to the side facing Steven. ]
no subject
[ he knows better than anyone to be careful with wallace's hair, making sure that his gentle strokes don't ruffle anything out of place. his aim is to be relaxing, and with the way that wallace is resting in his lap, he's fairly sure that he's succeeded. steven wouldn't even mind of they stayed like that for the entire flight - having wallace in his arms like this is like a dream come true. ]
no subject
[ Wallace replies with his eyes closed, a pleased smile fixated on his face. ]
Though, you'll be paying for any damage to my darlings should they have to get a make over because of your steel types.
[ His eyes remain shut as his hand lifts to curve his fingers around Steven's wrist so he pull his hand down to press a few delicate kisses on the silver rings that adorn his rugged fingers.
Wallace releases him and relaxes. ]
Wake me up when we get there, would you?
[ tired boyfriend is tired. ]
