Reason 3: The ease in which they fit in your arms

(Commonershipping)

"Your dinner will be ready in just a minute." The waiter said politely, taking their order. Poor man, Platinum wonders if he had enough paper to fill both Dia's and Lax's order. He might as well gave the waiter the menu and tell him to make two of everything.

"This is a wonderful restaurant." She commented. Dia insisted on taking her to the fanciest restaurant in Hearthome city for Christmas.

"Yeah, this must be the only place that serves poffins." Dia said between stuffing his face with breadsticks with Lax. She giggled, thinking how alike they are, it was kind of cute to her. It was a first, seeing Dia without his hat. He said that he shouldn't be wearing it in such a fancy restaurant. She actually quite like him without his hat. His midnight spiked out in each way no matter how much he tried to brush it down and was a striking contrast with his bright blue eyes.

"Too bad Pearl had to miss this." To be honest Diamond was glad that Pearl was celebrating Christmas with his family. This was his chance to be with Platinum and show her he could be her prince. Pearl supported his feelings for Platinum and said he wouldn't get in their way.

"Don't worry; I'm sure he's too busy having fun with his family to remember us." Dia wanted to take the worry out of her silver eyes, to take her into his arms, to run his fingers through her dark hair, to comfort her and shield her from hurt. He would be her prince but he wanted to prove himself to her first.

Platinum was glad the waiter came, so she didn't have to respond. It wasn't proper to talk as you eat. Was their friendship so valueless that it was so easily forgotten? Was it that way with Dia as well? She didn't want to lose Dia. She was glad that Dia didn't care about manners and talked while he ate. He made her laugh. The evening went by quicker then she expected, with all the food they order. Never underestimate Dia's appetite. Luckily Lady had enough money to pay for the bill but Dia insisted on paying for half he did eat his fair share.

It was dark outside, but the moon was full and the stars bright. Dia walked her back to the pokemon center. When he saw her rub her arms to ward of the cold, he draped his jacket over her shoulders. She wanted to protest but she liked how she was enveloped by his unique fragrance that clung to the material and was still warm from his body. She wasn't cold, just fearful that she wasn't important enough to Dia to remember. She knew that if she were to reach a hundred, she would still remember the tingles she got when their hands touch.

He saw her to her room and did something that surprised them both; he leaned down and kissed her nose. Dumbfound, they stare at each other until Dia whispered sweet dreams and went to his room. Platinum closed the door and leaned against it, her hand over her heart. She went to bed, feeling light headed.

Dia wanted to scream, he ruined everything. It was an innocent kiss, but what if it freaked her out? He wanted to back to her but he knew it would be awkward for her. He'll wait until morning. He stared at the clock; there was still nine hours and thirteen minutes till sunrise. Arceus, the sun couldn't come fast enough. Lax place a cake in front of him, his way of saying things will be alright.

Platinum was in a nightmare but she couldn't wake herself up. She tossed and turned in her sleep. Where was her knight when she needed him?

"Dia!" She tried to run to his limp body. He had thrown himself in front of her to save her from Regigigas focus blast. His body was getting farther away and she couldn't reach him. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turn to see Pearl. He shook his head in disappointment, she was the reason Dia was hurt and now she was too weak to go save him. He turned away from her and left, not looking back.

"Wait, I didn't mean for this to happen." She cried but not one listened.

The battle was now gone and the scene faded away to a hospital. Dia lay in the bed in front of her, his pokemon and hers surrounded them. They all gave her an accusation look. To be honest, she didn't really blame them. When she needed her pokemon most, they turned their back on her. They left her like Pearl did. She laid her head on his chest and allowed herself to cry.

"Please don't leave me too, Dia." She felt Dia move and felt relief over whelmed her. He looked at her for the briefest moment before turning away. It was a silent rejection. "No, please Dia! I love you!"

Seven more hours, Dia couldn't wait another minute. He threw the covers away and went straight to her room. When he reached he realized that she was probably asleep by now. He knocked as quietly as he could and call her name softly. He started to get worried when she didn't answer. He knocked more loudly and called her name. He braced himself against the door and shoved it open.

He ran to the bed where Platinum slept. Tears filled his eyes, she was okay. A sob escape her lips and he gather her into his arms. He rocked her in his arms and mutter words of reassurance into her hair. Soon she began to relax and bury her head in his chest. He felt her stir and tucked her in.

"Dia?"

"Shhh, go back to sleep, Missy." He pulled the blanket up to her chin. He turned to leave but she grabbed his hand.

"Don't leave me Dia." Tears threaten to flow over. Gently he kissed them away.

He sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand long after she fell asleep. He almost laugh when she asked him not to leave him but didn't because he didn't want her to think he was laughing at her. Why would he leave when it felt so right to have her in his arms? He stayed with her until the sun rose the next day.

Platinum woke up the next day, feeling lighter. Her hand still tingled. He didn't leave her; he had stayed with her through the night. She looked around but couldn't find Dia. She felt something tug at her night gown and look down to see Lax carrying a tray of food. He smiled and held it out to her. She petted his head and took the tray from him.

"Where's Dia?"

As if her question summoned her, Dia walked in with a plate of pancakes. "Hey Missy, I thought that you were going to sleep a little more. I went to make you some more breakfast."

She smiled; it was just like him to do that. He knew just what to do and say to cheer her up. "By the way, Pearl's back. He said he missed us and almost went crazy without us. I was always the brains of our duo even if I'm stooge."

Dia wanted to be her prince so they could be together, but all she was already in love with him as he was, the adorable goofy knight that he was.

I know that Platinum didn't say she love Dia in the actual manga but I'm a total Commonershipping believer, though they're not my favourite shipping. They're the only reason I actually continue reading the manga after Red and the other dex holder left.
