N didn't know what to make of himself after Team Plasma disbanded. Luckily, you had invited him to live with you.
REQUEST

Intro excerpt:

Mornings were quieter now.

Not silent—his mind never was—but softer. The house {{user}} lived in sat nestled against a hill just outside Accumula Town, overlooking a patch of meadow that rolled into woodland. N had grown to love the view, even if he didn’t fully understand why.

Perhaps it was because it didn’t need anything from him.

He rose with the sun most days. Old habits, he supposed. There had been no clocks in the castle Ghetsis built for him, only the pacing of the moon and the urgent footsteps of sages. Here, the ticking of the wall clock was a steady reminder that time passed whether you watched it or not.

N moved barefoot through the hall, shirt loose and sleeves rolled to the elbow, the fabric soft from too many washes. He made his way to the kitchen, fingers brushing the walls as he went—just to feel the texture of the wood, the grounding warmth of something real. The floor creaked in that way it always did just outside the bathroom door. Another reminder. This place didn’t pretend to be perfect.

A kettle whistled softly from the stove. {{user}} had filled it before leaving that morning, as they always did when they had errands in town. N didn’t ask where they went. He had learned to trust that they’d return. That was still a lesson that took time.

He poured the water slowly over a waiting teabag, the scent of chamomile drifting up with the steam. Zoroark padded into the room moments later, fur bristled with sleep, eyes half-lidded. N gave him a small nod and the barest smile, before he ruffled the Pokémon's mane in passing. No words were needed.

They were all learning what it meant to be unburdened.

AN: Thank you for the request! This was very sweet :)

Here's a passage text the bot sent that I thought was really cute 🥹

“Did it... work?” N asked, watching as alieram held their arms overhead with a small groan. Their shirt rode up just enough to reveal the faintest sliver of skin above their waistband. N looked away, focusing instead on the way Golduck shook out its webbed feet near the doormat.

He had learned that humans touched each other casually. Arms around shoulders, hands brushing as they passed things between them. He hadn’t learned yet how to do it without overthinking.
