A buzz from Burris’ PokeNav interrupted his daydreaming; a message from dad…

<12:45 pm> By the way, I forgot to mention this to you, but your aunt’s in the region.

Burris looked up from his screen, eyes straining upwards.  Which one? Dad’s sister was taking care of the Floccessy Ranch back in Unova, but-

“Oh goddammit,” Burris muttered.  His fingers spat out a response

<12:46 pm> oh god, zinnia?

“Something wrong?” Wally asked.

“Nothing.”  No, it was everything.

<12:46 pm> Yes, Aunt Zinnia.

Burris mockingly mouthed an “Aunt Zinnia” before replying.

<12:47 pm> she is not my goddamn aunt shes 16
<12:47 pm> how tf did grandpa n let her out of the house

Burris looked up to see Wally raise an eyebrow at him.

“Nothing but furious typing,” he said, skepticism heavy in his voice.

<12:48 pm> Unova has more lax laws than Hoenn does when it comes to trainers.  And yes, she is technically your aunt.
<12:48 pm> And while I can hear you typing “I will never call her that ever” at least try to get along with her if you see her?

Burris snorted.

<12:49 pm> fine.

(random not texty stuff)

An annoyed look flashed across his face.  “Suppose I should text Roxanne before I sleep.”

The snarls grew louder as Burris pushed the PokeNav’s touch screen quickly

<2:36 pm> hi its burris
<2:36 pm> so uh.  no good way to break this.  but im-

The barking hit a fever pitch.  Burris scowled and looked over.  Madison had Jonesy pinned, the Eevee crying at his ear being pulled.

“Hey! Knock it off!” Burris snapped.  Madison sat upright and looked at Burris, pink tongue sticking out of her black snout.  “I saw what you were doing, don’t hurt Jonesy or I’m going to return you.”

The Poochyena barked and waggled her butt, attempting to say she was innocent, honest!  Burris rolled his eyes and returned to his PokeNav.

-gay.

He rested his PokeNav on his chest and felt his eyelids droop.

-

Buzz Buzz Buzz. Buzz.

Burris grunted.  What the hell… He felt the weight of Madison and Jonesy on both sides, the trio making for a very fluffy pokemon and human sandwich.  Blue eyes glanced up at the PokeNav, flashing to life with a number Burris didn’t recognize, but there were four new messages and-

“Oh, right.”  Burris grabbed the device.

<5:31 pm> OH MY GOD
<5:31 pm> OH MY GOD
<5:32 pm> I’M SO SORRY I’M SO SORRY
<5:33 pm> I had legitimately no idea I swear to all that is holy I wasn’t trying to be a jerk you’re just cute and aaaaaa

“Well, there it is,” Burris said.  He felt kinda bad but what the hell else was he supposed to say.  His palm slapped his forehead.  “You could’ve said [i]nothing[/i], you dope.”

<5:33 pm> look not everyones gaydar is perfect
