''I can't do this'.''
''Come on Ash, It's going to be alrig...''
''I CAN'T DO THIS!''
The young Pokémon Master was pacing furiously around the room, all of his nails bitten. It took him months to gather the courage to do this. Even more months to find a perfect way to do this. And then he decided. He knew. He knew just how to do it. He was sure. He was...
''Screwed. I'm screwed, Brock. This is not gonna work. Oh God, what will I do when this doesn't work? Do you think she's going to stop looking at me on the face? Do you think she's not going to...''
''ALL RIGHT!''
Brock, who was on the other side of the room, screamed, finally walking towards his friend. It is true, Ash had been a nervous wreck the day before the battle that gave him the title of Pokémon Master, but this was another level.
''Ash, come on, you're being unreasonable. You guys have been dating for nearly five years. Has Misty, for a moment, given you any signs of wanting to end your relationship?''
''No but... I don't know, maybe she did. Maybe I just didn't see it...''
''Ok, this is getting ridiculous. I understand you being nervous, I really do, but it's like your brain has stopped working! Ash, Misty is crazy about you! Has always been, since we were kids! And since you two started dating? Mew, I haven't seen her more happy. The day you got your title she was so proud she was glowing!'
He put an arm around his friend, trying to make him calm down.
''I'm sure it's going to be fine. You're going to get her, take her to your special place and put that ring on her finger. And everything is going to be fine.''
Although Ash looked more calm, he didn't sound completely convinced.
''But what if she says no?''
Brock couldn't help but laugh.
''Ash, believe me, she isn't going to say no. There's absolutely no way she's going to say no. Believe me. She's my best friend too, after all, isn't she? I know better. It's going to be alright.''
Ash looked down, as if considering the possibility. Maybe Brock was right. After all, they were a happy couple and their relationship had never been better.
''Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just freaking out. But...''
''No buts! You just got you got your title of Pokémon Master, and now you're going to go there and make your other dream come true.''
He looked more determined this time.
''Yes. Fine. I'm going there. It's going to be fine, right? I'm better get going, then.''
Brock chuckled, giving his friend a friendly slap on the back.
''Go. She must be waiting. Good luck, Ash!''
With that, Ash finally walked out of the room, leaving an amused Brock beside him.
.
Two hours later, just when he was heading to bed, a simple message appeared oh the screen of Brock's phone. He glanced at it, smiling and muttering a quiet 'I knew', before turning off the lights.
'She said yes.'
Hello everyone! Wow, two posts in less than a week, I'm getting better!
So, this is little side project that I've been thinking about doing for a while, but just now had the time to actually do. Don't worry, I'm still working on my other stories.
I'll probably be updating this more frequently, since these are small and non-connecting stories, what makes them easier to write.
As always, your opinion is welcomed, so leave a review if you can! Thank you for everything, 'till the next time!
