The cold wind felt like it sliced my skin in two.
I gasp in a a way later to be described as 'dramatic' and moan "Oh dear Mew, please SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!"
A/N; OMFG YAY THREE REVIEWS! No, but in all seriousness you have no idea how happy I was when I saw I had three. Made me feel famous lolz. Anyway, this is written in Ruby's P.O.V. I decided instead of just sticking w/ Gold, I would mix it up and change the viewpoints every chappie.
Ruby and Crys' personalities are WAY different because I decided they were OOC last chapter. I hope I fixed that.
mochicocoa- Thanks for that. I tend to type how I speak, and 'Should've' ends up sounding like 'Should Of.' Edited and fixed.
G.F.T.W- Yeah. I don't really like Crys that much (*EATEN BY CRYS FANS*) so I wasn't as upset as her being OOC as Ruby was.
delightedslice- I tried to fix the spacing this chapter. Did it work? Also, I don't know if Ruby and Sapphire will ever creep into M rated interactions. Maybe if i'm feeling particularly perverted one night lawlz.
Anyway, enjoy my. fic.
Disclaimer- I do not own Pokemon or it's characters. If I did, I'd probably be getting payed for writing this.
~RUBY'S P.O.V~
The cold wind felt like it sliced my skin in two.
I gasp in a a way later to be described as 'dramatic' and moan "Oh dear Mew, please SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!"
Upon my request, Crystal obediently shuts the wooden door although the air was still freezing. The whole room fell into a deafening quiet. So quiet, you need a machete to chop through the heavy tension that hangs in the air. I cast a stray glance in Sapphire's direction.
Her usually fierce and confident face was crestfallen. Although it pains me to admit it, I felt a sudden urge to go over to the wild child and throw my arms around her to comfort her.
She would just shove you off, a tiny voice in the back of my head reasons. She probably thinks you're gay.
What else is new? I bite back. Everybody thinks that.
The voice let out a laugh. She probably wouldn't be very turned on if she learned you talk to your head-voices.
Ignoring my conscience, I decide to shatter the monotonous silence surounding me. Well, I don't really decide to. I just blurt the first thing that pops into my head.
"Oh no!" I cry in remorse. "I'm going to miss my mani pedi!"
Everybody turns to look at me, their faces so expressionless it was almost haunting.
"Really?" bitterly says Sapphire. "We could die of starvation in here, and all you care about is your stupid manicure?"
I narrow my eyes into a glare and say stiffly, "Not just a manicure. A manicure AND a pedicure, thank you very much."
Sapphire laughs, a harsh mocking laugh. "You're such a damn narcasist."
She jumps up from the ground to stand, to tower over my sitting form. To make things fair, I stand up, too. It's pretty embarassing to admit, but I'm only two inches taller than Sapph'. Only two inches! Most guys were almost SIX inches taller than her.
"At least I'm no Neanderthal." I retort.
"Homo."
"Cave-Girl"
"Sissy."
"Tomboy."
"OCD."
"Barbarian."
We continued firing one-lined insults at each other when Gold yelled "Hey!" Sapphire stops mid-insult.
"Can you guys stop your damn lovers quarrel already?" he asks seriously.
"W-WE AREN'T LOVERS!" we stutter in unison. Her face is a healthy crimson, and my face feels hot enough to be crimson.
"Mhmm, yeah okay." sarcastically says Gold. "Your blushes say otherwise."
He slips into his cocky little 'Gold' attitude and teases, "How long has the secret romance been going on?"
The back of my neck gets all hot when he whispers in my ear "Have you had sex yet?"
I yelp in horror, jumping forward. "Well, would you look at that? White boy can JUMP!" he proceeds to mock.
I try my hardest to regain my composure even though I know my face is the color of my dark red eyes.
"F-for your i-i-i-" I anxiously stutter.
"I-i-i-i-i-i" he teases again, his amber eyes full of the glee he gets only from torturing kids like me.
"For your information," I try to say with my most detatched, stiff tone. "I am only smitten for girls with class. As you can plainly see, Ms. Birch here does NOT suit that category."
"That's it!" Sapphire cries. "I'm going to kill 'im!" I panic when I feel her iron grip around my plain black shirt.
"Stop!" I cry. "YOU'RE STRETCHING THE MATERIALS!"
Sapphire snarls sarcastically, "Oh, what a nightmare!" I hear Gold's laughter in the background.
"Please, stop!" I yell, but to no avail. The girl proceeds to attempt to slam me into the wall.
Which she does.
Once I'm pressed against the wall by my own fear and common sense, my gut develops a creeping sense of foreboding as I hear her footsteps behind me and her fingers begin to lock around my neck. You would expect my kind-of-best-friend Gold to jump in and go "Don't hurt him. He's my friend!"
But really, this is Gold we're talking about.
He's rolling on the ground, laughing his ass off.
"ARCEUS, DON'T STRANGLE ME!" I shriek in a way later defined as 'girly'. "FINE, FINE FINE! I ADMIT IT, YOU'RE CLASSY, I GUESS."
I feel her grip loosen slightly. Gold's laughter has died out to an occasional giggle. Crystal is still deathly silent, glaring at all of us with a "Oh my god, they're so immature." kind of look she always has.
Sapphire's smirk makes me want to go back in time and just get choked out by a girl. "You mean it?" I swallow a lump in my throat. It might have been my pride, though.
"Yeah. Sure. Why not." I mumble, my face burning.
She smiles a genuine smile. The kind of smile that sends warm bubbles through my stomach and electrifyingly cold jolts down my spine. The smile that reminds me why I like her in the first place.
My inner pleasure was promptly destroyed when Gold cooed, "Aaaawwwww. They're so cute together, aren't they Crys?"
Thankfully, Crys shoots a death glare at Gold and says, "I'm not getting involved in your childish antics, Gold. We have more serious matters at hand." She then stands up purposefully, walks over to the door and opens it.
The cold overcomes me again.
I stagger backwards and give a shaky breath of shock. That breath becomes a cloud of white that fill the air in front of me.
"Shut the door, please." I beg. "It's too cold to try and get out now. Let's just wait it out. It's sure to melt eventually."
Sapphire laughs again. Not bitter this time. A weird sounding laugh. Almost...normal.
Oh dear Arceus, you're going to make me puke in my mouth, the tiny voice groans, Just kiss the girl already.
Instead of satisfying my insanity, I patiently ignore said thought.
"You call ME stupid, Manwoman?" Sapphire says. "It takes at least three days for that much snow to melt."
My defensive mechanisms swing open. "Sorry if I don't know unimportant shit like that." I retort loudly.
"Unimportant?" Gold chuckles, " A fact like that could make or break our futures at this point, dear."
I don't know what hurt more. The fact Gold called me 'dear' or the fact that he was right. We only had so much food left. Knowing that it could take more than three days was pretty important to know.
Do I swallow my pride YET AGAIN just to not seem like a dickhead?
No.
I roll my eyes and grumble, "Whatever."
My words hang in the air like my breath does. Nobody says anything.
Everybody knows Gold is right.
Everybody knows we won't be getting out of that cabin for a while.
Everybody knows there is no hope.
Everybody.
Even me.
A/N; So, so so so did you like it? I worked pretty hard on this chapter (took me a whole hour I swear) so I hope you did. I think the spacing was a lot better. Crystal was sort of non-existent, I know. This was the big 'FranticShipping' chapter. Don't fret, MangaQuesters. Your chapter comes up next.
Please rate and review. Also, if you haven't already, vote on the poll that's on my profile. It decides what my next fic is to be. So far, it looks like I'm writing a straight up Pokespe Fic.
