A/N: Kufufufu….A RedxGreen Friendship Fanfic. This was a lot harder to write than I imagine. Seriously. I revised this, like, 10 times. Once again, thanks to lumachu and Spinkichi for those moments about this ship. Seriously. I love you guys man.

Every day he would appear on your doorstep, and every time you would give in to his toothy grin and pleading eyes and follow him. You almost never knew where he would take you, but you weren't one to care. Whether it was an expedition through his backyard or an adventure through your kitchen, he would run ahead, red eyes flashing mischievously, while you would tag along, a frown plastered on your face at the thought of his immaturity. But despite all this, you two were friends-RIVALS even. But you weren't one to announce you friendship. Besides, to you, he was an idiot. YOUR idiot, you thought.

As your feet dangled in the cool pond, you saw him looking at you curiously, as if he had never actually taken notice of your presence before.

"Hey Green."

"Hn."

"Are we best friends?"

You seemed startled by his question, yet you managed to pull off a smirk and roll your eyes at his childishness.

"Stupid. Of course we are, Red."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"You pinky promise?"

You chuckled. He was so immature, you thought as you linked fingers.

"Yes, I pinky promise."

"I'm glad."

You heard his contented sigh as he drifted off to sleep.

There he was again, now surrounded by thousands of cheering fans as he was given the title of Pokémon League Champion. You wonder how you could have ever lost to that idiot, yet you smile a secret smile to yourself.

He did well, you thought.

You had a sharp intake of breath as you climbed the snowy cliffs of Mt. Silver in the frigid cold. You ponder at Red's choice to train on such a formidable mountain, yet a part of you admired and envied his courage and determination. Catching a glimpse of black hair, you feel nervous. After all, you hadn't seen him since the battle years ago, and you just had to wonder if he had already forgotten you.

There he was. Alone. Looking out onto the world from the highest point, almost as if he were the supreme ruler of a kingdom. He turned to face you as you stood by his side.

"Great view."

"Nice to see you again too, Green."

"Red?"

"Yes?"

"Are we friends?"

You heard a chuckle as the words came tumbling out of your mouth. Suddenly, you were the one feeling immature, as your mind drifted off to the distant memory of days long gone. Of days when the sun shone down on two young boys enjoying their time together. You wonder if he felt as nostalgic as you did. He's grown, you thought.

"Of course, Green."

"We promised."

"We did."

"And we're really best friends...just like we said?"

"We are."

You smiled as you stood alongside Red. Your friend. Your best friend. Somehow, the bitter cold no longer affected you.

"I'm glad."

"So am I."

END NOTE: BAHAHA. This is the longest fanfic I've written so far, and it was pretty fun to write.
