She didn't think her of all people would fall in love with the pompous, arrogant, cocky asshole who trained her poorly, yet outstanding in a time of crisis.
Yellow sighed, her fishing pole bobbing gently in the water. She was deep in Viridian Forest; her Raticate curled up next to her. How could she love someone so…intimidating? Yellow was scared just even thinking about him.
Yellow glanced down at Ratty. She smiled, petting his head fondly. She bit her lip. Yellow knew someone like Blue wouldn't like her in that way. She just turned sixteen. He was already a rugged, eighteen year old that had better things to do then dawdle around with a little junior in high school.
Yellow drew her line back. The Pokémon weren't biting today, and the sun was setting in a pillow of orange. She returned Raticate to his PokéBall, and began walking out of the forest. Yellow was staying with her fellow seniors, since they planned to celebrate Green's birthday together.
Yellow snorted, stepping over a tree branch. Green; the oldest of seniors. The one that flirted with Blue constantly. Yellow's blood would heat up throughout her veins when she watched that whore poke at his arms and his chest with her dainty little fingers. Yellow rolled her eyes, now out of the forest and walking in the city.
Though she didn't enjoy it, Yellow secretly wished Blue would give her a glance. Just a mere glance would make her whole day. Countless times she's wished she could nuzzle into his arms and drift into a peaceful slumber, feeling protected in his embrace.
But Yellow knew that wouldn't happen.
Yellow shook out of her thoughts, brushing her blonde bangs out of her face. She was in Pallet Town already.
Red's home was just up ahead. She was the last one to arrive at the gathering. Yellow took a deep breath, knocking on the door.
She braced herself as the door knob nudged.
Yellow cursed silently.
Blue would answer the door.
It had been a few years since she's seen Blue. He was taller, his hair was longer. He still had those defined cheek bones and brightened his face, and his gorgeous green eyes.
Blue smirked, leaning against the door frame. He crossed his arms, staring right into Yellow's eyes. Yellow's throat tightened.
"…Hi." Yellow said quietly, clutching her fishing rod tighter.
"Yellow." He said quietly. A blush colored the female's peach cheeks.
The two stood staring at each other in complete silence.
"Blue! Who is it?"
Yellow winced. She knew that voice.
The brunette came up behind Blue, her arms wrapping around his waist. Blue's face scrunched together. Yellow couldn't tell if he was surprised, or just unamused by Green's sign of affection.
"Oh, look who's here." Green said flatly. She gave Blue a kiss on the cheek, turning around and walking back to the living room. Blue looked back at Yellow, a small smile on his face.
"Sorry about that…" He chuckled nervously. Yellow smiled, stepping closer to signal she wanted to come in.
"Oh, it's fine. You guys are dating, it's normal."
Blue blinked, stepping out of the way and letting her in. "…Who said we were dating?"
Yellow looked up at the male, blushing violently.
"…Uh, she just kinda kissed you…"
Blue snorted, taking Yellow's fishing rod and propping it in the closet. "She does that all the time." Yellow's heart sank.
Blue leaned down, their faces only inches apart. Yellow's heart was pounding.
"To be honest, it's really annoying." He said lowly. Yellow laughed; a genuine laugh. She missed the humor Blue had when they were younger. And when he did show some sign of humor, it was incredibly rare and dry.
Blue suddenly pointed to her scalp, raising an eyebrow.
"Where's your hat?" He asked.
Yellow's fingers rested on top of her blonde ponytail. "Oh, I got rid of it." She said, "Didn't see why I needed it anymore." Yellow shrugged. The two began to walk towards the living room, where a total of five teenagers. Gold had his arm around Silver's shoulders, Crystal sitting cross-legged on the floor. Red was in his recliner, and Green on a love seat. Her eyes met with Blue's, and she patted the couch cushion next to her. Blue glanced at Yellow, and Yellow returned it with a small laugh.
"Hey!" Red grinned. Yellow looked at the tall, raven haired boy coming towards her. He embraced her in a bear hug.
To Yellow, this all seemed unreal. The boy who saved her from a wild Dratini when she was just eight years old, was grown up and handsome and…well, no longer a boy. However, he still sported the red cap from his youth. Yellow didn't expect it any other way.
The rest of the seniors greeted her, and the conversations continued. Green got up from the loveseat to go to the kitchen, the couch now available.
"Let's sit there." Blue said quietly, motioning Yellow to follow. He plopped down first, and Yellow sat on the edge of the couch, her heart just about to erupt. She was giddy that Blue wasn't as stale and bitter as he was. She…she really liked the new Blue.
"…Oh God, don't get me started on Professor Oak." Gold snorted. Silver's head was resting on his shoulder, quietly tuned in.
Huh, I forgot Silver and Gold came out a while ago… Yellow remembered.
"Hey, that's my grandpa." Blue chuckled.
"Oh, shut up, you know how annoying he was." Red scoffed, reclining back in his chair. "He thought I was a thief when I first came to him. Yeah, a ten year old kid—"
"Well, you can't say that, since Silver stole Totodile when he was ten." Crystal chimed in. The group of teenagers laughed. Silver blushed deep red.
"Hey, leave Silver alone!" Gold said, hugging his boyfriend closer to him.
"Professor Oak thought I was trying to steal Red's Pikachu from him. So I had to battle him to save you." Yellow said. Red chuckled. Yellow sighed in relief. At least her attempt at humor didn't fail.
"His little stunt at the Pokémon League was interesting." Blue pointed out. Green returned from the kitchen, narrowing her eyes.
"He made me lose! I can't forgive that old bag for that!" Green hissed, sitting on the floor next to Crystal. Yellow saw Green shoot a glare to her. Yellow just smiled.
The dex holders sat around talking until about eleven thirty, which was when they decided to get to bed. They all called Emerald wishing him a happy fifteenth birthday, and scurried off to bed. Each of them shared a room with another. Gold with Silver (They were told to keep quiet if they started going at it), Blue with Red, and by some stroke of bad luck, Yellow with Green and Crystal. Yellow somewhat saw it coming.
She was dressed in a white shirt and yellow shorts, undoing the band that held together her ponytail. The bathroom door opened, Green strutting out in a tight white tank top and green booty shorts. Crystal was on the opposite side of the room, already passed out. Yellow rolled her eyes, pulling off the white sheets. She glanced at the clock next to her bed. 12:09.
Yellow crawled into bed, turning off the light on her nightstand. She sighed in comfort, the sheets engulfing her into a deep sleep.
But before she got her much needed sleep, she turned on her side facing Green.
"…Happy Birthday, Green," Yellow said quietly.
The outline of Green turned to face her. Yellow couldn't see her facial expression.
"Thanks, Yellow."
Yellow awoke in the middle of the night, her body heavy with exhaustion. She blinked and turned to the digital clock. 4:49.
Why was she awake at four in the morning?
The door to the bedroom was open, a light filling the hallway. Yellow's eyebrow rose as she kicked off the covers and stretched like a feline. Her steps were light so she wouldn't wake a snoring Crystal. She pushed for door a bit farther, the room across from her quiet with voices. That was Red & Blue's room. Yellow stood outside of the door, listening intently.
"Why did you invite her?"
Green's voice; Yellow cringed.
"Because we invited all the seniors. Plus, Yellow's cool."
Yellow's heart rose. Blue thinks she's cool!
"Well, this was for my birthday, and you know I don't like Yellow." Green huffed. Yellow could see through the crack between the door that she was lying curled up next to Blue on his bed. His shirt was off, his tan muscular body almost glistening.
"…Oh My God, you do still like Yellow. Why else would you invite her?"
Yellow's hand slapped over her mouth. No way.
Blue blushed, pulling the blanket over his head. Green struggled to pull the blanket off, and when she did, she pinned his arms to the bed.
"Do you still like Yellow?" Green asked. Blue was blushing like crazy.
"Fine, fine, yes, I do!" Blue said, pushing the brunette off of him. Green frowned when she sat down next to him. They were both quiet for a minute. Yellow stayed glued behind the door. Was this really happening…?
Blue reached under the bed, pulling out a blue wrapped box, a small purple bow on top of it.
"Happy nineteenth birthday!" Blue smiled, pushing the box towards the female on his bed. Green took the box, looking at it between her fingers; she set it on the ground and hoisted herself onto Blue's lap. Blue stared at her in confusion, laughing nervously.
"You know what I want for my birthday, Blue?" She said seductively, her fingers tracing his abs. Yellow's fists clenched. Blue raised an eyebrow.
"…Um…"
Green didn't let him finish. She leaned forward towards his ear, her lips twisting in a smirk.
"I want you." She whispered, kissing his neck gently, teasing him. Blue's eyes widened, pushing off his friend and looking into her deep blue eyes.
"Green, what the hell is wrong with you? You know I like Yellow."
This can't be happening. Yellow thought, watching Blue fending off his horny friend.
"Would you rather be with some sixteen year old who probably hasn't even had a boyfriend, or a woman who can please you beyond belief?"
Yellow's eyes narrowed. Stupid whore, I have had a boyfriend, thank you very much.
"I'd rather be with Yellow—"
"You're too scared to even have a conversation with her." Green nibbled at his earlobe from Blue's right side. Blue gasped softly, tugging away. He rolled out of the sheets and stood up. He was wearing navy blue boxers.
Green was on all fours on the bed, smiling wickedly.
"Come on, Blue, it's my birthday. Yellow's barely a woman. You know you want to..."
"Shut up!" Blue shouted. A lamp in the room clicked on, the two turning and looking at the other side of the room. That side was out of Yellow's sight.
"What the hell…?" A sleepy Red said. The room fell quiet.
Someone say something… Yellow thought, biting her lip. Then, Blue walked towards the door, yanking the door open.
Yellow had no time to move.
