The fic had been sitting on my hard drive for a long, long time. I might as well publish it. Well, I don't own Pokemon.

Chapter One

Don't Wait, Just Act

May visits him every Friday afternoon, four pm on the dot whenever she has her duties as Hoenn region's champion. It was about two months ago when they both told the other how they felt. Steven had purchased an apartment in Rustboro that was close to the company, if ever they needed the president. Later, May took it upon herself to invade his living space, which he never minded.

There was something about May in his home that spread warmth in his veins.

It wasn't long before the brunette officially moved in with him. Steven had been a bit hesitant at first, not because he didn't want her anywhere near him, but because he didn't want her to rush things that she may end up regretting.

May who had been putting her favorite coffee mug on the cabinet above her raised an eyebrow at him. You still want to wait? She had asked him. You loved me for seven years Steven, and Arceus knows how long I've felt the same way about you. What's left to regret?

And that was that. End of discussion. Steven had to smile at the memory.

"Something funny?" May's voice broke him from his thoughts. Steven stared at her for a moment before he shook his head, leaning back on his leather chair while May stayed perched on top of his desk, her champion's cloak not on her person.

He placed a warm hand on her thigh; the gentleness he exhibited on that simple touch could be felt by the younger woman who felt her own features soften up.

"Nothing, just thinking that you should visit me in the office more often."
