"Would you like to come inside?" Rio questioned. She held the door open inviting him in. "I thought you might want something to drink after all that jogging." She told him.
"Oh, uh...well I should really be go-"
"Please." Rio voiced whispered as she gave him a pleading look.
Machop sighed. He couldn't say no to that face. He reluctantly entered. Once he was inside Rio looked around before closing the door and without Machop even noticing...she locked it tight.
Machop had been here before. He often visited and hung out with Rio many times in the past. So why was he feeling so nervous now. He then saw Rio bend to grab a few drinks from her cupboard and then he recalled why. He hadn't been here since she evolved.
"Do you want anything in particular?" She asked. "Any juice or water?"
"Water is fine." Machop answered.
Rio complied and got him the water. She poured it out in two cups before coming over and sitting beside him. She handed him a cup and started drinking from her own.
"Ah. That is refreshing." She told him as she tried to make small talk.
"Yeah...it was." Machop answered.
There was an awkward pause between the two for a moment as neither knew what to say. It was then that Rio broke the silence.
"Machop...can I ask you something?" Rio questioned. "And will you promise to be honest with me?"
"I'll always be honest with you Rio." Machop answered.
"Okay." Rio told him as she took a deep breath. "So...Machop what do you think of my new body?" She questioned.
"Uh." He said in surprised. "Rio I already told you. It doesn't matter if you're different or not. You're still the same to me." He answered.
"Thank you...but that's not what I meant." Rio told him.
"Come again."
"Mach...do you feel things are different around us now. Like not just the difference in strength but do you feel different around me now that I look like this." Rio gestured to herself. "Like....do you think...I look....sexier now." Rio questioned.
Machop's face went red as he heard her say it. "Um...um...um..." he stuttered trying to find a response to her question. He didn't know what to say. If he was being honest he definitely did find her looking sexy but that answer be sufficient. Was this a test to see if he liked her for herself and was not being shallow? Or was she genuinely having self doubts about the whole evolutions.
"Ever sinceI evolved Mach, I've noticed things. I've noticed the way you look at me now. Looks that you never use to give me while I was a Riolu." Rio said as she stood up and walked away. Unbeknownst to Mach, she was smiling whenever she thought he didn't see her face. "You see me differently now, right?" She feigned hurt.
"I....." Mach sighed. "Maybe I do." He admitted. "But that's a natural response. I don't see you see in any negative light." He defended himself.
"You don't?" Rio repeated. "So what do you see me as?"She questioned.
"I...I see you a Rio...that's it." He said firmly.
"Oh." She said disappointedly. "So if I started acting differently Mach...would you hate me because I'm no longer the Rio you knew?"
"I could never hate you." Mach answered.
"I see." Rio smiled but it was not one Mach felt familiar with. He could see her licking her lips. Rio turned to face him with an almost hungering look in a her face.
"You're a good friend Mach." She said in a tone of voice he didn't recognize. "I'm so lucky to have you." She told him as she started to strut close to him. Something about the way she walked now seemed different. It was... very pleasant to look at.
Rio sat down next to him but something felt off. She never took her eyes off of him. "You know...I think I should do something special for you." She mused as she leaned closer in.
"Uh...Rio." Mach questioned as her face got closer to his own. "What are you doing?"
"Relax." Rio whispered in a sultry voice. "I'm just showing my appreciation to you. That's all." She whispered. Before Machop could say another word Rio kissed him, right on the lips.
Mach didn't know how to react, his brained practically rebooting on the spot. As his mind started to sort things out, he could feel as her arms slowly snaked around, hugging him. It felt good...but...something felt...not right.
