>>57882130Romance isn't the primary angle of my fic, but it's a very integral part overall as all five of my MCs take part in a romance across its length. One straight, one yuri, and one yaoi.
The MC and Deuteragonist are the primary but also slowest-burning romance; the girl decides on her feelings early on, but the boy is more concerned with the plot and doesn't know how to react to her bizarre flirting until their relationship starts to fully blossom in the back half of the story.
A third member of the party is also interested in the MC, and becomes deeply infatuated, but fairly quickly on realizes his feelings won't be reciprocated, which leads him on a new personal arc of learning to be happy with himself before looking for a partner, and he eventually meets someone much later on in the plot.
The other two members of the party bond fairly quickly, as one is the black sheep of the group who gets on poorly with the others, but their love interest matches their vibe easily, and they both actively pursue a deeper relationship and romance.
As far as the explicitness of the romance, it's meant to be a roughly PG-13 rating story, and the characters themselves are ~16, so it doesn't show sex outright, but there's implication to some degree that the ones actively pursuing their relationships are having it.
Although at the climax of the story, the MC screams out (for reasons that make sense in context) that he wants to marry his love interest and have a lot of children with her.In my setting Poke-human relationships aren't really a thing; there's legends that before humans became "human", they were originally a type of Pokemon that interbred with other species normally, but it fell out of cultural acceptance before most recorded history.
