DISCLAIMER: I don't own Pokemon :[ (If I did May and Drew would have gotten together during their season...)
May Showers Bring April Flowers
-Flashback-
"Have you seen a brunette about this tall, blue eyes, and traveling with 3 boys?" asked a green haired boy.
"Why yes! They left about 2 days ago."
Hearing about the group's departure, he began to leave the nurse who kept on talking.
"But they split up. I heard the boys were going to gym on the other side of the Koala Region. The girl went towards Ambrosia Town." When the information hit his ears, Drew attempted to question Nurse Joy.
"Then-" Drew started saying, but was quickly cut off.
"Such a pity. Once they found out that they had to split up, the girl was a mess. She ran towards the forest crying." said Nurse Joy with a sad and concerning face.
"Is she okay?" Drew asked quickly. He was slightly worried because he knew of May's emotional fits.
"Oh yes! She came back an hour later, packed up her stuff and left." she said, missing the obvious worry on his face.
"Well thank you for your time." Drew said, while walking out the door of the Pokemon Center doing his casual wave of mystery.
Drew was just making his way towards Ambrosia Town when he heard it...or her...
"Drew!" exclaimed the all too happy brunette who came up to greet him. Although he didn't look like it, he was just as ecstatic as her.
"Hi there May." he said coolly. But then he remembered why he asked Nurse Joy about her whereabouts. Suddenly, he got tense.
"What's wrong Drew?" May asked sensing the sudden change in his mood.
"Oh it's nothing. I just had a question."
"Oh...Then ask away!" she said with a glowing face.
"Well...ummm..."
Drew was contemplating on his next words.
"Where's Ash, Brock, and Max?" he said. At the same time, he was kicking himself for chickening out on what he really wanted to say.
"..."
Her happiness meter dropped sharply as the last word left his mouth. That subject obviously struck a chord with her, but he hadn't realized that what Nurse Joy had said was completely wrong.
Silence had seemed to take over, and Drew was obviously getting worried.
"Umm...May?" he asked with a concerning tone that was impossible to hide.
Right then she started sprinting towards Ambrosia Town. Tears were clearly visible when she lifted her head and turned towards the town.
He stayed there...stunned.
"What just happened?" he thought to himself. Drew stood there motionless while watching the girl run from him.
"I'm sooo stupid!" May thought to herself, while running through the streets of Ambrosia.
"Thinking that talking to Drew would make me feel better!"
Muttering through tears and frustration, she fell backwards at the entrance of the Pokemon Center.
"Hey!" May said irritated.
Looking up to see who she had bumped into, she was surprised to see the result.
"Brendan?" she exclaimed stunned.
"May!" the white-haired male said, as he helped her up and hugged her tightly.
"What are you doing here?" May said, trying to wipe her tears away before he could notice. But he was too good.
"What's wrong May?" Brendan asked breaking the embrace and holding her arm's length apart.
"Oh… It's nothing..." she said trying to laugh it off but failing miserably.
"You know that won't work with me right?" he said back, wanting to know what's wrong.
"I guess that's what you get after traveling around with you for a year." May said slightly smiling at the fond memories.
"Now, now. Let's sit down and catch up." Brendan said, gesturing towards the seats outside in the Poke Park.
Sitting in the park, Brendan asks "So... traveling alone now?" He was trying to break the unbearable silence between them.
Tears that were starting to fade came back like waterfalls.
But the thing is, May didn't need to worry about crying in front of him. She thought of him as her second brother.
He was dumbfounded for a moment but quickly recovered and tried to comfort her.
"It's-it's..." May tried to start but was cut off by a hug.
"Shush...just calm down." Brendan said gently.
May was use to his hugs and accepted it. She cried into his shoulder until no more could come out. Soon, she and he were watching the sunset while May dozed off.
"Always the same aren't you May?" Brendan thought, smiling softly while looking at her sleep.
Carefully he picked May and set her on her bed in her room.
"Goodnight May." he said kissing her on her forehead then shutting the door quietly.
Somewhere else a green haired boy had seen the whole thing up to the part when a white haired boy took May into the Pokemon Center.
"This looks interesting." Drew said trying to control his envy but it was about to spill at any moment.
