Welcome to the first drabble/one-shot/thingie of this collection! I am OVERJOYED to finally write some PokeSpe after so many years!

I cannot promise often uploads because I am always either too busy or too lazy. But it also depends on the success of this first story!

Keep in mind some things before reading!

1. This is a Specialshipping-centered story (obviously)

2. English is not my native language, thus there might be some grammatical and spelling mistakes. Moreover, I am quite rusty with my writing at the moment!

3. Please enjoy all the fluff! (Seriously, there is a lot of fluff here. You have been warned.)

1. Same – RedYellow

It had been a while since he had felt so… relaxed. Free from his own pressure as a trainer- and he was not an ordinary trainer. He was the best in the entire region.

The overwhelming need to get stronger, to explore unknown places and to face new challenges was present in his everyday life. And even if he did love being a trainer, battling and travelling with his most faithful companions, sometimes he just needed to stop and breathe.

And the only place where he could do that was the Viridian Forest.

It was odd, how he preferred such place rather than his own hometown. But every time he walked through the woods, he realised that the forest was still the same no matter how long he had been travelling, whether it might be half a year or three of them. However, in Pallet Town, things changed and everyone moved on. His house, Green's and Professor Oak's laboratory were still there, but there were new inhabitants, new buildings, things that were not there when he left.

It saddened him to realise how long he could be away and how fast time could pass.

But the forest was the exception.

Red reached out his gloved hand to touch the nearby tree with a peaceful smile on his lips. He recognised it, he just knew that when he turned left from that point he would get to see the small lake. It was still the same path, even if it had been years since the first time he dared to enter the forest. It was as if nothing had changed, and as if he still was that naïve, ten-year-old child full of dreams.

Soon enough, the trainer arrived at the clearing next to the lake. His Pikachu swiftly jumped from his shoulder and landed on the ground to meet a fellow Pokemon of the same species. Red followed Pika's moves and smiled when he noticed the girl lying on the grass.

Honestly, the main reason why he loved Viridian forest the most of all the places in Kanto was because of her.

Red carefully approached the blonde while the two Pikachu rubbed their cheeks together as an affectionate greeting. Then, both Pokemon left the clearing to go somewhere else around the forest. Once they were alone, the trainer sat down beside her and simply stared at her face. As always, during that time of the day, Yellow was sleeping soundly at the clearing. She had not even stirred in her sleep when he sat down on the grass, just a few inches away from her arm.

Sometimes Red couldn't help but worry –what if someone came and tried to harm her?- but then he had to remind himself that everyone in that forest knew and loved Yellow. They would prevent anything and anyone from trying to hurt her there. As he kept looking at her, the black-haired trainer noticed a thin trail of drool falling from the corner of her mouth. He gave a snort and started to chuckle. She would be truly embarrassed when she woke up and felt her cheek sticky- It had happened before.

Slowly, Red moved his hand in order to brush those golden bangs of hers away from her face. However, as he did so, Yellow's eyes started to flutter open, and red eyes met honey ones.

At first, the girl seemed to be confused. But immediately afterwards, her eyes widened and she sat up all of a sudden.

"Red!"

Causing their foreheads to hit each other.

Both dexholders laid down on the grass again to press their hands on their respective foreheads as they groaned in pain. But it took merely five seconds for Yellow to sit up once more and approach the boy with a concerned and, at the same time, surprised expression.

"Red! Are you okay? I-I'm so sorry! I just- I didn't know you were coming!" She quickly explained as she moved her hands helplessly.

But the Champion simply laughed and put his hands away from his face to look at her properly.

"It's fine, Yellow! I guess it was my fault for scaring you!" He answered in a carefree manner.

Both young adults stared at each other- concretely, at that red spot that was now on their foreheads, and together they started laughing.

After several minutes of chuckles and giggles, they finally were able to breathe normally and Yellow managed to give him a sweet smile.

One of those smiles that made his heart melt.

"When did you arrive?" She asked him curiously as she reached out to place her fishing rod and her straw hat closer to her.

"Just now. As soon as I arrived at Vermilion City I took out Aero and flew here." He answered, leaning slightly back on his hands.

"Oh, right! Did you already see Green and Blue then?"

Red shook his head and sighed.

"I'm not even sure if Green is currently in Kanto, and Blue… Who knows what her whereabouts are right now." He answered, his lips curling into a fond smile as he thought about his two best friends. However, he soon gave another sigh. "To be honest, it's been a while since I contacted those two. Have you heard from them lately?"

"Ah, yeah! I believe Green is already in Kalos- He told you, right? That he was going there for some kind of investigation." Red opened his mouth in realisation, making the blonde giggle. "And Blue called me yesterday. She's currently at the Sevii Islands with her parents. She wanted to spend a few days with them."

Red hummed in acknowledgement, and then smiled at her.

"Either way, I wanted to see you first. That's why I came here in the first place." He told her cheerfully, and noticed how Yellow's cheeks reddened that same instant.

How he was still able to make her blush like that, he was not sure, but he certainly was not complaining.

"I..." Yellow started to say as she looked down at her fidgety hands. "I wanted to see you too." She finished her sentence looking at Red with another warm smile. "I'm glad you're here."

Red did not think about it twice when he moved closer and wrapped an arm around her. She gave a small, cute yelp at the unexpected action, although she soon settled herself comfortably in his embrace. The trainer smiled with genuine happiness and placed his chin on the crown on her head.

Yellow had changed, too. She was no more that careless and innocent ten-year-old child, embarking on a journey with dangers that she could have never imagined before. She had grown into the adult that she was today- But at times, he could still see traces of her (their) past. She was still the warmest, sweetest and most caring person he had ever known.

And they had changed, too.

"I missed you, Yellow."

He could now show her just how precious she was to him.

"I missed you too, Red."

And he hoped that things could stay just like that for an eternity.

Faves and comments are more than welcomed, and criticism is encouraged! Either way, I hope you liked it!

Cheers!
