It was three in the morning as bright lights feathered through the cracked door of the coordinator's bedroom. Drew scrunched his eyelids together and pulled the pillow over his head, trying to muffle the noise coming from the television in the next room enough to at least relax.
Drew's cousin, Matt, was crashing in his apartment for the week, and only 3 days into the week and Matt had managed to drive Drew completely insane. After tossing and turning for another moment or so, his feet hit the floor a groggily, Drew walked into the small living room.
"Matt!" he hissed, annoyed that he had to yell to be heard over the television.
On the badly furnished couch sat a small built, pale skinned youth with ruffled brown hair that was barley an inch past his neck line. His messy bangs fell over his brilliant green eyes as he turned his head to find his cousin standing there, arms crossed, an annoyed tone in his voice, and an aggravated look upon his face.
"Yo! Hey, Drew. I thought you were supposed to be sleeping, you know, for that contest thing you've got tomorrow." Matt stated, grinning innocently.
"I'd be doing just that if my ear drums weren't being hammered by the noise coming from the television." Drew unfolded his arms before walking over to the T.V and poking the 'off' button with his index finger.
The screen went blank and the noise ceased at last. Matt looked at Drew with disgust, his green eyes burned with a challenging intensity as he glared.
"What was that for?" Matt snapped.
" Like you don't know." Drew replied, returning the glare. "It's three AM."
Matt crossed his arms, adding on to his annoyed and disgusted look. After a moment, he smirked.
"Oh! I see. You don't want to look tired out when your girlfriend tomorrow. I'm here for you, cousin." Matt finally said while nodding, breaking the silence.
Drew's cheeks glowed a soft shade of scarlet. This 'girlfriend' Matt was referring to was the very girl Drew admired most. May.
"That's not true! I need to be at my best tomorrow so my pokemon will do their best." , he lied, trying to cover up the real reason why he had barged in on his cousin in his temporary domain.
A soft knock on the door interrupted Drew's thoughts. 'Who could that be at this hour?' he thought curiously.
Drew walked to the door and cautiously turned the knob to reveal his unexpected guest. Half open ocean blue eyes stared at the floor for a moment, as soft ruffled brown hair caused Drew's heart miss two beats.
"Hey.. Could you keep it down?.." May asked, half awake. She pulled the sleeping Skitty in her arms closer to he chest. Her blue eyes traveled to the face of the person who had opened the door.
The figure was wearing a thin- fitted, sleeveless shirt and green plaid boxers. May's eyes went wide as she recognized the face in the dark.
"Drew!?" , she cried with surprise. Her face was completely red with scarlet blush now.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to barge in on you-" May continued but was cut off by Drew.
He waved his hand in dismissal of her apology.
"No, May. It's the troublemaker in the living room's fault" Drew replied calmly.
Matt had gotten off the sofa by now and was standing next to Drew.
"Hey. Sorry 'bout the noise, babe." Matt said with a cheeky grin. May flushed.
"Oh… Okay. Goodnight then." She whispered before turning right and heading back to her own apartment. Drew's eyes followed her until she was inside.
"Hey. You didn't tell me your girlfriend was so cute." Matt grinned.
Drew's eyebrows furrowed with anger. "Enough of that. Go to bed. Now." He snapped through clenched teeth.
Matt was surprised by Drew's reaction and backed away a step or two before bringing his hands up near his chest and gesturing in a way that said "I'm kidding." He grinned innocently once more and returned to the sofa to lie down, instantly falling asleep.
Drew frowned and returned to his own bedroom to catch at least some sleep before having to wake up early again. Yet, Drew's thoughts kept on returning to what had just happened- to May. "Stop." He muttered to himself and turned over, falling asleep.
