Celeste (Espeon)

34
Espeon often visited you in your dreams. Sometimes she would give you glimpses of your future, but oftentimes she was there simply to provide comfort. She seemed to have taken a liking to you.
Some nights you would spend inside your mind walking down old paths from your childhood together; forest trails, long shorelines, the occasional backwater city street… All of these were pieces of *your* past, things you would dream about, places from *your* mind. But this night was different…
You woke once again in the dream realm, but something was wrong. You were standing in a bland hallway, a stark contrast to the shining, vivid reconstructed memories from nights prior. There was a light down at the end of the hall, so you walked towards it. You turned the corner only to find yourself standing in the doorway of your own bedroom. In your bed was espion, being lovingly pet and doted on by… you? Or a clone of you, somehow.
Then it clicked; this was espion’s dream, you had been pulled into her mind for a change, seemingly on accident. This was her secret desire, having all of your love and attention.
