Her, HE, and Me
By: Moonlit Shadow
Authors notes: Short story based on a love-triangle. Revised and re-written on 4/10/2004.
Disclaimer: I own Ki (the Mewtwo), but I do not own the concept of pokemon and trainers. If I did, I'd be swimming in a pool of cash instead of writing crappy fanfiction…
I stand amongst the shadows, masked by the darkness that surrounds, largely ignored by everyone nearby. That is, until I am needed to make them smile… You'd think it wouldn't be so bad, being a one of the most powerful pokemon in existence, a Mewtwo. There are almost no others of my kind; I haven't seen another Mewtwo since I was a child. Of course, that was years ago. Always smile, even though the bad, despite the fact I was dying inside. All because of HIM.
My thin lips curve into a smile as I catch sight of her. She's my trainer, my partner, my best friend, and the one girl who can make my dreams come true. Yeah, I'll admit, I love her…
Of course, she's with HIM; the man who makes her life complete. The color drains from my face as I watch them together… It's… not me. I am cursed to be forever nothing more than a buddy, a sidekick, standing on the sidelines and waiting for him to break her heart. But he never does. Because, as much as I hate to admit it, they are meant to be…
She laughs, a laugh only found around HIM, and embraces him, tells him she loves him over and over… And he says it back, embraces her as well… They kiss, and I turn away, unable to watch, for fear of acting out in contempt for this man. Well, more than contempt. Hatred. Hatred for this man who is perfect for my trainer, my best friend, my partner…
My angel.
And yet she will never be mine. For her heart belongs to HIM.
