it's hard to keep track of how long it's been.
time is something abstract now. it slips through his fingers before he can even realize it's gone, but it isn't something he tries to hold onto. it's a blur, a mixture of travel, of new towns and challenges and just trying to be strong enough to keep moving. it's more than half over now, and it's been a while.
the grass is cool under his fingers. the breeze is familiar and the solitude is welcome. the thought keeps coming back to him. it's been a while. so he pulls out his pokegear, keys in the familiar number even though it's late.
"hey." kyungsoo can practically hear the smile in jongin's voice.
"long time no talk."
"i know. i was waiting for you to be the one to make the call this time." it's enough of a tease that kyungsoo doesn't feel guilty, even if jongin means it.
there's a pause.
"so. what have you been so busy with, huh?" still a tease, and enough to bring a smile to kyungsoo's lips this time.
"oh, you know. same old. we're going up against another gym tomorrow."
"we?" the curiosity in jongin's voice is obvious, mixed with something almost like disbelief. "awe, you have friends ~"
"shut up," kyungsoo grumbles. jongin laughs.
"it must mean you don't hate them anymore."
"i already told you. i hate everyone."
"everyone?" it's clear what jongin is asking, and kyungsoo resists the urge to roll his eyes.
"everyone," he confirms. "i just hate you less."
it's strange when kyungsoo starts to think he could listen to jongin laugh forever. or at least for a very long time.
"it's been three weeks," jongin says, and he isn't whining. he made a promise not to when they decided to do this, but that doesn't mean he doesn't come dangerously close sometimes. "where are you?"
"mt. pyre."
"of course. are you sleeping there?"
"mm." it's a noncommittal noise, but jongin doesn't like it.
"why are you sleeping in a cemetery? i have a bed."
"it's too far," kyungsoo points out.
"you have noivern," jongin counters.
"soon," kyungsoo says, and jongin sighs, but he tries not to make it too loud.
"the ponytas miss you." kyungsoo knows what he means, and he smiles.
"let me get this badge. i'll come by and show it to you."
kyungsoo can practically feel the grin on jongin's lips. he can't stay annoyed, even when he wants to.
"don't disappoint me."
this time, it's kyungsoo's turn to laugh.
"goodnight, jongin."
"goodnight, kyungsoo."
it's short and sweet, but it's just enough. kyungsoo lets himself relax, back against the cool grass so that he can watch the stars before he falls asleep. it's been a while, and he's starting to catch himself thinking that maybe three weeks is too long.
