Short feeling drabble! Enjoy.

Love wasn't logical; love couldn't be figured out. Love was weak, love swayed the heart, caused one to make foolish decisions. Green had told himself never to fall in love, to focus on his research, his training, his Pokemon...

Yet there was some part of him that longed for his other half. When he sat in his lonely room in Pallet and looked out at the night sky, he wondered how it'll be like to have someone beside him to marvel at the stars. To have someone waiting for him, holding his hand, knowing that no matter what she would be there waiting for him. Green wanted those things so much but he pushed them away and hid them behind his cold exterior... until someone who had been born to heal broke down those walls.

~Cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can~

"Hi, Green. What are you doing?"

Green jumped at the soft voice and looked around for the intruder. As usual, he had been out on the rooftop, studying the Clefairy in relation to the moon's phases. Today was a new moon - darkness covered the town, although the sun was due to rise soon - yet there was a small group of Cleffa that only ventured out during the new moon. Green was intrigued by them and wanted to analyze them further, But his careful resarch had been disturbed by the small girl who was now making her way to where Green sat.

"Watch it," Green warned, seeing her almost slip and fall. "The tiles can be wet."

"Thanks," Yellow smiled, sitting beside him. "I've always been curious what you do up here."

"I study the Pokemon. Its fascinating at night," Green said. He offered the telescope to Yellow and she glanced up at the sky, here eyes wide with wonder. "Wow," she breathed. Green picked up his chart and continued to mark the careful movements of the Pokemon. When he glanced up, he found Yellow studying him intently. "What?"

"I can't believe you actually come up here in the dead of the night just to do research," Yellow said incredulously. "Aren't you tired after all the gym battles, and training me?"

Green shrugged. "I've always been a late sleeper. And training you isn't that much of a problem."

~Save me from myself, you can~

"I guess." Yellow bit her lip, twisting her fingers this way and that. Green waited, sensing she didn't come just to make casual talk; she had something she wanted to discuss with him. "Did you know Red left? For Unova?" she asked.

"Yeah, I did. He told me he went there to do more training," Green replied.

"He didn't tell me," Yellow said softly, her fingers twisting in her hair. "He didn't care about me." Without warning, the tears started to fall, liquid diamonds splattering into her lap as her shoulders shook with sobs. "Why?" She buried her face in her hands.

"I'm sure he didn't want to worry you," Green consoled her. "I think he thought you'd be worried about him." He reached out a shaky hand and gently patted Yellow on her back, trying to soothe her. Comforting girls had never been his strong point. Yellow didn't seem to calm down at his touch, on the contrary, her sobs became louder. Feeling distinctly awkward, Green wrapped a hand around her shoulders, pulling her into an embrace. "There, there," he soothed, trying to think of what people said to comfort others. He could smell a 'forest' smell clinging to Yellow's hair - it was fresh and smelt like flowers in the spring. Or cherry blossoms, he mused, feeling poetic.

Gradually Yellow's sobs diminished to hiccups and she lifted her face up to Green's. "I'm useless and weak," she stated. "I'm so useless, he didn't even remember me."

"Yellow, you are anything but useless or weak," Green retorted. If his trainings with Yellow had taught him anything, it was that she was probably the strongest person he had ever met. She seemed like a fairy to him - one with a core of steel. Despite the numerous times she failed, she never gave up. Yellow continually amazed him. When he'd thought she would never do it, she would suddenly find an extra reserve of strength and her power would rise again. And even at her weakest moments, Yellow would always be smiling. Her cheerfulness was like an eternal sun; Green caught himself laughing and marveling with her at the simplest things - cloud patterns in the sky, the leaves falling in the autumn, the cold touch of the river's water. She'd taught him that beauty was everywhere.

~If I could wish upon tomorrow, tonight would never end~

You just had to open your eyes and open your mind to see it.

"Yellow, listen to me." Yellow locked eyes with him. Green stared into those gold eyes, like rays of sunlight. "You are beautiful."

"Me? No, I'm - I'm not," she stuttered.

"You're beautiful, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." He gripped her shoulders tightly. "Red's an idiot for not noticing you. He'll see you eventually, for who you are. And he'll love you too." Why did the words make his heart ache? "Don't change yourself. Be the way you are. You're beautiful," he repeated.

~If you asked me, I would follow~

He saw hope flare in Yellow's eyes, and then he saw the smile he had been waiting for, breaking across her face like a winter sun. "Thank you." She wound her fingers through his. "Thank you so much, Green." Before he could react, Yellow planted a kiss on his cheek. She pulled away, her face turning red as she slid out of his grasp.

All Green could do was sit there, the papers forgotten and fluttering down to the ground. He touched the spot where Yellow's lips had met his cheek, feeling warmth spread through him from that single patch. He was too disoriented to realize that dawn had broken, and the sun was casting its first beams of light upon the ground. The light illuminated a small girl with golden hair who was walking away.

He'd realized then, that maybe love couldn't be helped. It came when it chose - so that you could choose not to love as you could choose not to breathe. Maybe love didn't always hit one as first sight - it gradually dawned upon you, like the sunrise that cast away the night and brightened your eyes to see true beauty. And then one day, he woke up and found that he couldn't live without someone.

That was the day he knew that he loved Yellow de Viridian Grove. Still, he denied the truth even to himself, burying it deep down in his heart and convincing himself that what he felt for her was merely brotherly feelings. He zipped his lips and cast away the key.

~But for now I'll just pretend

Cause if anyone can make me fall in love

You can~
