That's right; I'm making two fics at once. This one is (surprise surprise) made of 26 beach(friend)shipping drabbles, one for each letter of the alphabet. It will vary between 3rd person, the hero's POV, and the partner's POV. I will try to leave the species of the hero and partner as ambiguous as possible, so you can think of your own choices in here. The gender may or may not be ambiguous.

Note that these drabbles will always be quite short, and may or may not leave a cliff-hanger.

And here begins the Alphabet Challenge: beachshipping!

A-always (specifically- always had; always will)

Partner's POV

The sea at sunset was probably one of the few places that could calm my nerves when I needed it most. But it also brought so many painful memories back.

It always had; it always will.

You were the only thing that calmed me down more than the sea.

You always had; you always will.

I remember that day when we met, one identical to this. The sea had been my only comfort back then. But then you came.

When we faced that illusion of Groudon, I almost ran away in fear. But then I saw you, and it brought up that courage I didn't know I had. But I knew this:

You were the only trigger for that courage.

You always were; you always will.

And when you left, you took my courage away from me. But still, you told me to be strong.

But how can I without you?

Because the only reason I stayed strong is because of you.

I love you.

I always had; I always will.
