Fandom: Pokemon
Claim: Jessie/Cassidy
Prompt: #1-Unexpected news
Pairing: Jessie x Cassidy, James x Butch
Rating: PG
Summary: When their partners move in together, Jessie and Cassidy wonder what do with themselves.
“So, I take it you’ve heard the news.”
Jessie glanced up from where she had her face buried in her crossed arms, to meet Cassidy’s familiar sneer.
“What was your first clue?” Jessie frowned as Cassidy chuckled and the blonde slid into the booth across from her. “Who invited you to sit down…?”
“It’s just killing you inside, isn’t it?” Cassidy asked, an all-knowing smirk decorating her face.
“No!” Jessie hated the defensive whine her voice gained when she protested. “What’s there to be upset about?”
Sure, she and James had been together for a long time. Years. Some of the best years of her life. But it wasn’t as if she’d ever fooled herself into thinking it’d always be that way. James falling in love was something she was prepared for.
James falling in love with Butch, however, was something she would never have been prepared for.
“I can understand being shocked. Of course, I knew about them when they first hooked up.”
“You mean, Butch told you?” Jessie tried to keep the incredulity and envy out of her voice, but she was sure the emotions were clear in her big, blue eyes. “What, he just came out and said it?”
“Well, Butch and I just have that sort of relationship.”
Jessie’s expression darkened. Hard as she might try to ignore them, Jessie always ended up letting Cassidy’s remarks get to her.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Oh nothing, dear. Nothing at all.” Cassidy smiled at her, haughty and callous. In the somewhat tense silence that followed, however, her thoughts wandered and she remembered that she had nothing to be so arrogant about. She was losing Butch, after all. Even if she’d been more prepared than Jessie, they were still going through the same thing.
Their boys were leaving them.
“So…” Jessie’s wistful gaze was focused on the dirty surface of the table. “Where does all this leave us?”
Cassidy wasn’t sure of how to answer. It left them with empty, quiet apartments. It left them with partners who would spend spare time with each other instead of with them. It left them sitting at a booth in HQ’s cafeteria, looking totally pathetic.
Smirk returning to her face, Cassidy lifted her leg slightly and hooked her foot around Jessie’s ankle.
“We should go out sometimes.”
“Wh-What?” Jessie looked up at her in surprise. Surely she must have heard that wrong…
“Well, we’ll have a lot of free time on our hands without the boys to bother us.” She arched an eyebrow, somewhat suggestively. “Don’t you think so?”
Jessie looked away, considering the offer, even as a bit of color started to tinge her cheeks. Cassidy felt her smile grow wider; she knew she’d won. And suddenly, losing Butch didn’t seem so bad, after all.
