Wow, this idea was really random, I think I might make this into a chapter story possibly.
Ash's POV
"Come on, come on…"
Ash Ketchum waited impatiently for his computer to load. No, there wasn't an assignment due, or homework to research, nothing silly like that. Ash was trying to be on time for his date. Not a real one, but online, in a chat room. Every Thursday, the two would meet in a poetry chatroom and try to discuss poems, but mostly talked about each other. Ash didn't know his real name, but just his username: Star_crossed_ luvr.
"Finally!" he exclaims, logging into Poetry Bug, the poetry nerds premier website. He'd found the site one day, just clicking random links. As soon as Ash logged in, he had a chat request. He clicked it excitedly.
Star_crossed_luvr: By my modestly, the jewel in my dower, I would not wish any companion in the world but you.
Secret_obsession: William Shakespeare!
The two had a game they'd play. Whoever logged in first, that person would post a random poetry quote and the other had to type the author of it.
Star_crossed_luvr: Correct as always.
Ash smiles.
Secret_obsession: How's ur life?
Star_crossed_luvr: Alright, I guess. Wbu?
He groans. Gary Oak made his life a living hell everyday and Star_crossed_luvr was his only salvation. Ash would never admit it to his online crush, but he was the only reason he gets on the computer for leisure.
Star_crossed_luvr: That Blossom guy still givin' u trouble?
Instead of using Gary's last name, Ash made something up. Even though he was in love with somebody online, Ash still had a bit of common sense, but sometimes, he seems tempted to sometimes.
Secret_obsession: Yeah…
Star_crossed_luvr: Would a poem make u feel better?
Secret_obsession: Of course!
Star_crossed_luvr's poems always made Ash feel better about his day, no matter what was going on.
Star_crossed_luvr: When I wake up, I think of you/as cold as ice and how the sky is blue/then I realize, I'm in love with you.
Ash sat in thought. He was speechless over the beauty of the poem, but he couldn't help but to feel something deep inside of him. Was that poem referring to him?
Star_crossed_luvr: U didn't like it did u?
Secret_obsession: No! I luved it!
'Almost as much as I love you…' Ash thought secretly. He couldn't help but to be in love with him. Ash talks to him like he's known him his entire life.
Star_crossed_luvr: U flatter me so.
"Ash! Ash Ketchum!"
His eyes widen in alarm. Ash quickly minimized the window before his mom barges in.
"Honey, time to eat."
"Alright, alright." Ash replies in a rush.
"Wow, you have a lot of messages, dear. Who are they from?"
Ash covers the monitor up with his body. "Nobody!" he exclaims, trying to think of a distraction. "Oh no! Your cabbage is burning!"
"Darn, I better go get it."
With that, his mother rushed out of his room. Ash breathes a sigh of relief as he goes back to the chat messager. Nobody, except his friends, knew about Star_crossed_luvr.
Star_crossed_luvr: Parents?
Secret_obsession: More like parent. Dad skipped out.
He doesn't type anything for a while.
Secret_obsession: I'm sorry.
Ash felt the need to apologize. He was burdening Star_crossed with his problems.
Star_crossed_luvr: No, I actually care. :)
Secret_obsession: Thx. That's y I luv u.
As soon as Ash sent that, he instantly regretted them. He just admitted to a complete stranger that he loved them. Ash quickly exited out of the site, his cheeks flushing in shame.
"Dinner!" His mother yells upstairs.
"Can't wait." Ash mutters sarcastically, walking out of his room.
Interesting twist, no? Hope you liked it, and give me your suggestions about being an actual chapter story or not.
