Dorm of Eeveelutions

Chapter 5 - Off the X-Box

I perceived a blue head with ice crystals and ears mostly similar to mine. I decided to approach the Glaceon and see what it was up to.

As I came closer I gained her attention, not wanting to seem ill mannered I asked: "good afternoon, how are you?".

She ignored me and I decided to try again: "what are you up to?".

Once again ignored, it wasn't the first time that this wall had appeared to me, so I didn't feel awkward. I instead looked at what she was doing, which turned out to be drawing a Golduck on a drawing tablet.

"Oh you're drawing? Cool! No pun intended, but I am a bit into drawing too." I said.

I gained her attention when I said that.

"Really? Then what do you think can be changed on this to make it better?" She asked, probably checking if I was lying or not.

"Well, look" I started, pointing at it's belly, "if you look at that, then the shade should be a bit darker, their fur is also a bit unorganised there whenever they get out of the water, did you know that? So, maybe you should give it some more thought. Oh! And on that beak you could add a slight glint on one of the drops of water up there and... add some wind in the trees?" I proposed.

She carefully accessed what I said on her work, before duplicating it, and testing my ideas out.

"Yep that works" I stated when she had finished editing my ideas into her work, "Maybe I should start drawing again, it has been a while since I've last drawn".

"Really? Because that was already pretty good" she said surprised.

"Yeah, although you already did it well. Maybe a slight problem with the shade but otherwise it's good" I answered looking at her art.

"Thanks, maybe I should apologise for being so cold" she said apologetically.

"Nah, it's fine I've met a few mon like that so it's not anything that hurts" I reassured her.

"If you say so, say... how about we introduce ourselves? I'm Rea" she stated.

"Oh, sure Rea, I'm Grey and it's nice to meet you" I said.

After a moment of pause, Rea then asked: "do you think that you can help me with some other ones?".

"Sure! I'm happy to help" I answered.

<Flashback Grey POV>

I was walking on a rainy day. I was in a bad mood since school was annoying, everyone had made fun of me for liking art. There isn't anything wrong with it though, it's not like it's girly... right?

I sighed and sat down on a bench in my favourite park. It was full of small lakes and had a lot of shade from the sunlight.

I sat there for what felt like hours before I took my drawing book out. I opened it on my newest creation: a drawing of each eeveelution. So far I had managed to make the Jolteon, Vaporeon, Umbreon and was just making a Leafeon. It was going okay apart for how I couldn't for the love of Arceus make the head as good as I wanted it to be. After a few minutes of trying to figure it out I gave up and put it away.

I placed my paw on my head as I tried to figure out what to do. My problem with drawing was that I was a perfectionist. I was questioning whether I should become less of one or perhaps more.

I sat there for a good while just enjoying the peaceful atmosphere around, before I noticed a fellow eevee near me. Curiously I moved towards her slowly, and figured out that it was a girl, and she was drawing something like I had been. I sighed thinking that this was a sign that it was girly, but something about how she was continually having moments of pause lead me to come closer to her.
