#01 - Comfort

It's not like he does it for recognition or his own gain, but some days it feels like Team Plasma takes too much out of him and gives too little back, and on said days he's much less opposed when Clarence cleans up the scratches and bites for him before they spend the rest of the evening curled up close together in front of some silly film.

#02 - Kiss

The next time Dick kisses him in public he pulls back sharply, muttering some excuse about how Dick's stubble is too scratchy and dropping his guilt-heavy gaze from Dick's pained and angry face.

#03 - Soft

He (not so) grumpily gives in to the bombardment of kisses to his smooth face, and wonders whether maybe it really is time to ditch facial hair after all, deciding otherwise when the kisses stop and Clarence is back to hysterics again.

#04 - Pain

Even with Clarence's face knotted in agony Dick can't stop hurling insults as they sit and wait in the tense bustle of ER—Clarence snipes back in strained tones, his hands clutching Dick's even tighter, who squeezes back and curses having to watch Clarence hurting so often.

#05 - Potatoes

...Are all they've been eating since their finances hit rock bottom; Clarence moans as another plateful of the dreaded things is handed to him, but at least one-food diets are more bearable when living with someone who knows how to prepare several dishes and is handy with the spices.

#06 - Rain

When their soaked clothes are strewn across the bedroom floor it seems like too much hassle to change into something dry, especially when seeking refuge under the duvet together is a much quicker way to warm their freezing bodies up again.

#09 - Telephone

He'd loudly decreed before leaving that he wasn't going to call, but he does so anyway, even if he can't bear to phone more than every couple of days unless Dick calls him first; the line between Johto and Unova is crackly and only serves to remind them how far apart they really are.

#11 - Name

Maybe it's just some warped case of Stockholm Syndrome but he doesn't really mind "Dick" anymore, if only for how it feels in those moments when Clarence calls him by his actual name...and then he's back to calling him "Dick" again and Richard decides that no, fuck that, it really is that annoying.

#12 - Sensual

There's some indescribable essence to seeing that slender figure dressed in crisp black and white that makes him stare, his breath caught in his throat—he daren't not release it incase it distracts him as he draws-in the full wonder of Clarence wearing a suit.

#13 - Death

He agrees to turning the life support off because it's what Clarence would have wanted, but it's not what he wants; the sting of returning to the flat is eased a little by the fact it's now full of Pokemon who surround him in a shared sense of loss, and by their side all the tears that he held back at the hospital come rushing out.

#14 - Sex

Emerging from the heated struggle for dominance, Clarence forces a breathless kiss to Dick's flushed skin, his head reeling with victory and indecision of what he'll claim as his prize.

#17 - Tears

The thrashing waves finally part and Clarence gasps raggedly, his throat raw from the water—no, from screaming; Dick is pinning his shoulders back against the mattress, only letting go when Clarence stops struggling and gruffly brushing tears from Clarence's damp cheeks.

#21 - Life

He'll never understand—nor will he ever even try to—why Clarence is so at ease stealing the lives of Pokemon, how someone who treasures freedom so dearly can wantonly take it from others: it's something he will never forgive, no matter Clarence's motives.

#22 - Jealousy

Clarence hates clubs, however gay they may claim to be (or perhaps because of how gay this one claims to be), and his revenge is to wait until Dick is looking to pull another male dancer close: all sins are forgiven when the nameless sap is sprawled on the floor, and Dick's hand with reddened knuckles is clenched around Clarence's wrist as he drags him outside.

#23 - Hands

Even if he scoffs at Clarence's sappy gesture he's hardly fooling anyone when his true feelings betray him and he subconsciously squeezes his partner's hand back.

#25 - Devotion

Pounding the lamp-lit pavements does more to shake up his anger than settle it—he wonders why he bothered to come back at all as he returns to the flat and his sofa bed, not caring if the slamming of the door wakes Dick up, even if he already damn well knows the reason why.

#26 - Forever

Neither of them knows if this is a forever kind of thing, but it's a now thing, and at the moment that's all that means a damn.

#28 - Sickness

Swamped in blankets with his head resting in Clarence's lap, Dick's fever finally cools enough for him to doze off and he sinks deeper into a comfortable sleepy haze, lulled in by the soothing feeling of Clarence's hand stroking his hair.

#31 - Home

There's a bite-crazy Sandile lurking under the sofa, no milk, eggs or meat in the fridge, and he finds himself tripping on another wayward sock on his way to the bathroom...add to that Dick himself is more annoying than all of these things put together, but this is still more like home than the now-empty apartment in a city he's no longer welcome in.

#35 - Bonds

The grounds of their mutual understanding are toxic, but it's something, that their relationship can survive all the things said and the things left unsaid, simply because the other is lacking the same essence from their own heart.

#37 - Technology

Some days it feels like there's an unwelcome third-party in their relationship, and Clarence isn't willing to give the Poke-XBox any more leeway than if it were another man eating up the time that Dick should be spending with him.

#38 - Gift

With oceans between him and family and the scattered remnants of what was once Team Rocket, he has no reason to remember his birthday until an unwrapped jumper and a card are literally thrown in his face alongside bitchings about being late when he walks in the door; the vegan birthday cake is actually good, but he grumbles about it anyway, trying to hide a slightly teary expression behind the sleeves of his new present.

#40 - Innocence

"You mean there's more stuff we can do than just...you know...that?"

#41 - Completion

Dick punches the air with a whoop, the POKE-XBox controller still clutched in one hand as the game's ending credits scroll by in triumphant fanfare...moments later there's a shout and then a loud thump from on the other side of the TV and the screen goes blank, and just like that Clarence knows he's sleeping on the sofa—no, outside the flat, tonight.

#48 - Waves

As much as he laughs at how jittery Clarence becomes as they walk along the seafront, Dick still reaches out to grab his arm when a stray football nearly knocks his shocked (and consequently bruised) partner off of the pier and into the waters...and finds himself questioning how much Clarence really means to him when he thinks about how funny that would have been to watch.

#49 - Hair

He should know better by now...too bad that he only realises that when Clarence looks up from his magazine and gawks at the long-demanded haircut, his reply of "I don't like it, change it back" cut short by Dick's hands around his neck.
