my friend last night on discord sent me your steven and mike with reader fic and OOGH MY HEART /POS it has inspired me to pick back up one of my own unfinished fics :] in the midst of that i had a thought strike me and thought i would share with you the idea: platonic grey and shinto (THEY R BESTIES IN MY HEART UR HONOR) fluff with reader fic with the reader helping grey understand shinto with her crazy and wacky little antics around him but acts like a sweet little chaotic angel around reader
Aw I'm glad you both loved it!! Thank you!! Also I adore your art <3
.....
“I don’t get why she wants to be my friend, [y/n]! She’s the devil!!! A DEMON!!!”
“C'mon, Grey. If she craves friendship, then she can’t be all that bad-”
“No, no, no..you..y-you don’t understand. She’s been following me around all day and all night! I can’t get rid of her and the one time I thought I succeeded she freaked out on me and...a-and....ghh..!!!”
“Hey, hey. Breathe. It’s okay.”
Setting your hands on the younger trainer’s shoulders, you looked him in the eyes as you gently helped him calm down. You slowed your breathing, and eventually he did as well to match yours, blinking away his tears.
“I-I’m sorry..” He shuddered as you let him go. And he sighed shakily and hugged himself. "I hate feeling like this.."
“It’s alright.” You smiled in reassurance, feeling Shinto climbing onto your shoulder and nuzzling your cheek affectionately. “Hey, girl. Like feeling taller than me, huh?” With a chuckle, you rubbed her ear.
She silently nodded, continuing her sweet gestures while Grey just glared at her.
That little monster was only putting up a front because you were here.
How dare she act like an innocent little angel who could do no wrong?!
If only you could see how awful she really was....
“Now I’m aware she does some uh..pretty unnerving stuff like-”
“Turning into a giant slimy freak?!!” He suddenly blurted out, only to shrink back as you just looked at him, a little annoyed. “..sorry, I..I shouldn’t have interrupted.”
“It’s okay, but..for starters I don’t think she likes being called a “slimy freak”. So let’s drop the name-calling. I get she frightens you, but I'm sure I wouldn't like to be called a freak every time you see me, right?"
Grey opened his mouth to protest, though he stopped himself, shoulders slumping as he instead nodded in understanding.
He felt like he was back in school again--particularly in detention being reprimanded for his rudeness.
“But I know Shinto has her own flaws, too..” You pointed out.
“..Shin..?” The Hypno-like creature perked up in confusion, wondering why she was being targeted now.
“Yes. When you guys first met, did you know Grey was someone who was trapped inside that game?”
For a moment, her face held a thinking expression, before nodding with a smile.
“So you also must’ve known how scared he was...and that you can't force a friendship on someone if they're scared and don't know where they are, right?”
“.....Shi...no.” Pouting, she shook her head, realizing what her mistake was back then.
At that same moment, you heard your pokedex beep and opened it up to see that she left you a message on her section:
THOUGHT GREY NEEDED FRIEN
SO SHINTO SANG WITH HIM
BUT WHEN GREY CHEATED, SHE GOT MAD :(
“Ah. He probably didn’t realize you weren’t meant to be captured. So he couldn’t have possibly known that was cheating." You explained. "I think...the problem lies in you two not fully understanding each other. So we can work on that and help you guys get along better. Not as trainer and Pokémon, but as friends."
"...ironically, she's helped me out a lot." Grey remarked. "She was the only company I ever had in that game. I-I probably would've gone crazy and never found a way out if it weren't for her. So...I guess I owe you an apology, Shinto." He looked at her, frowning slightly. "I promise not to call you a freak anymore. Let's just...try to be cool with each other from here on out. Whatdya say?"
For a few moments, she stared right back at him in total silence, and it made him nervous that he said something wrong.
'Could I have worded that differently? Does she think I only apologized because of [y/n]?' He began to overthink...as usual.
Then suddenly, she leaped from your shoulder and onto him, hugging him around the neck. "Shin!! Shin!!" She cooed.
"W-Woah hey!!" He freaked out at first, although when he realized she wasn't trying to strangle him, he cautiously hugged her back. A relieved sigh left him after nothing bad happened.
She just wanted a hug. Plain and simple.
"I guess you um..a-accept my apology?" He laughed awkwardly, his eyes shifting to you. "I-Is this good?"
You just smiled at the pair, happy that they were already making progress with their friendship. "Yeah, I think you two will get along just fine."

I saw the ship dialogue prompt and I came to request for Lost Sliver with numbers 9. and 20. Maybe reader is comforting Lost sliver about something.
9) "You look sad".
20) "I could just use a hug."
........
"Nice job, Chansey. I appreciate your help." Smiling, you watched as the normal-type Pokémon plastered the final bandaid onto Gold's torso, covering the cut there.
While she tended to the numerous smaller injuries to his body, you focused on bandaging his limbs, making sure they were wrapped snuggly into stumps.
Of course, you weren't worried about him getting any infection since, well..he was dead. He couldn't catch the common cold even if he tried.
But you knew that he's been insecure about leaking blood everywhere and grossing out everyone he met, so you decided to do something about it and let him into one of your clinical rooms at the Pokémon Center.
Being a nurse who helped patients with traumatic injuries had its perks, as you knew exactly how to help your boyfriend.
However, it was only now that he decided to trust you enough to do this. He used to flinch at being touched before, and so for him to approach you and finally agree to this brought you relief.
He allowed you pull off his hat, jacket, and shirt, leaving just his shorts on before you got to work patching him up. You could see how flustered he was, cheeks turning pink despite his expression remaining blank. But he didn't complain once, simply nodding when you asked if he was okay so far.
However, after giving Chansey a treat for her good work before sending her out of the room, you were confused when Gold seemed...even sadder than before.
He didn't look happy in the slightest, staring at his covered wounds with a frown.
"What's wrong, love? You look sad." You remarked, gently running your fingers through his hair. When he didn't answer you, worries began clouding your mind. "If you need anything else..please tell me. I'm here to help you, no matter what."
"I feel...fine, but...." He stopped, looking down at the bandages on where his legs would've been. "I....I could just use a hug. But I know I look...d-disgusting...so.." His breath hitched, tears of blood leaking from his eye sockets as he began regretting such a stupid request. "Forget it...I-I don't need anything else.."
Your heart broke at the fact he thought that about himself. But then again...this was probably the first time he was seeing himself after his death on that mountain. He had been stuck in those same clothes for years until you came along.
Now with most of them off, it reminded him that he's just a limbless frostbit corpse...and always will be.
How were you not grossed out?
"Gold..." Frowning slightly, you sat beside him and pulled him into a hug, feeling him shake with quiet sobs. His skin was freezing cold, but you did your best to keep him warm. "You don't look disgusting to me at all."
"..I-I don't..?"
"No, I've seen lots of stuff in my career so..this doesn't bother me at all." You carded a hand through his hair. "I'm just glad you trusted me, sweetheart."
Hearing you call him that left Beautiflies in his stomach. No matter if you said it once, or a million times..that will never fail to make him flushed.
It didn't help matters when you kissed the top of his head, although he eventually relaxed in your arms, head against your chest as he listened to your heartbeat. And he closed his eyes, for once not feeling anymore pain.
He thought he was beyond help, but you proved him wrong.
YOOOOOOO, This is so good! :)
Hello, how are you? I hope you are doing well. I came by to request something for Lost Silver and Glitchy Red (Separate) . How would they react to an aroace reader. Like maybe they didn’t know what it was and reader explains to them that she didn’t get those types of feelings and they would rather just be friends with everyone instead going around looking for a romantic partner and if you could use they/she pronouns I would be very grateful.
If this is too much for you you can just ignore this. Take care! :)
I hope these are okay! Also I don’t really tend to use any pronouns in my headcanons since I just use “you”
Lost Silver:
*He’s heard the word aroace before, but he had no idea what it meant
*so, bring his best friend, he decides to ask you
*since you’re the one who mentioned it to him
*you were a little hesitant to tell him, since you’ve had backlash before, but you knew he wouldn’t make of you, so you told him what it meant
*Lost Silver listened intently to your explanation, that you’re not interested in going around and looking for a romantic partner or anything, just friends
*and he takes a moment to process, before he smiles at you and tells you that he’s happy you told him
*and he’s proud of you for coming out to him!
Glitchy Red:
*Aroace sounds familiar to him, like he has heard it before, but he isn’t really sure
*he isn’t sure how it got brought up in a conversation, but he had ended up asking you about it, since you’re familiar with the outside world than he is
*You were a little unsure whether or not to tell him at first
*but seeing as he wouldn’t leave you alone until you told him, you told him what it meant being aroace, and that you were aroace
*Glitchy Red took a few moments to process your explanation
*”so you’re not interested in anything romantic.. I see.. and that’s great, at least you know what you do and don’t want.”
*he chuckles a bit as he pats your head, proud of you for pretty much coming out to him, even if it wasn’t completely intentional
I couldn't finish the drawing I had planning today so can you hold this bomb for me for a second byee
Ok does anyone else constantly hear that “A girl and a guy can’t just be friends one of them is going to catch feelings at some point.” Because I hear it all the time and that can’t possibly be true because that would mean that every single one of my guy friends has had a crush on me. Because I can tell you I did not have a crush on them, I’ve never had a crush on anyone I’m aroace
kissin is hard okay!!!
This user is hella sensitive
