Within Attraction
Chapter 2
After a sleepless night and a morning of rest both, May and Ash were ready to continue their journey, the coordinator couldn't believe she and Ash slept "together" and her mind was busy remembering the fact.
Meanwhile Ash was busy arguing with Max, they, again, got lost somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
-MAX! You are the one with the pokénav why on earth did we get lost again? Pfff- Ash said
-Sorry, hehe, I was too busy watching wild Pokémon but don't worry Brock and I will get us on the way, right Brock?
-Of course a wrong turn won't defeat us!
The trainer sighed at those words; however, he wasn't mad at Max and Brock, why? A few reasons, no Pokémon league and no Battle frontier and of course no Grand Festival, they were just wandering in Kanto hoping to get to the nearest town so May and Max could return home, that meant the group will say goodbye.
-I'll tell him about this, yes, it's decided. Ash and I going out for a date it's just what in need, yes, it can't fail –May was creating a complicated plan, if it succeeded she and the trainer would live happy forever, or at least that was the goal for the girl.
After hours of being trapped in the woods the group finally found its way out.
-Wow, for a moment I started to think we were going to stay there forever –Ash stated
-Yes, but, I think it wouldn't have been so bad –May said with a very low voice, like talking to herself and giggling a little
-What? Not so bad? Please May, living in the woods, seriously?
-You are so dense Ash –May sighed in defeat
-Dense? But why, c'mon nobody wants to live in the woods, not me.
-You don't get it, right? However, I can't waste more time arguing with you
-Waste your time? Ho, sorry lady I didn't know your time was so precious, so precious you wanted to expend it living in the forest
-At least I do something useful with it, you know, I got second place in the Grand festival, on my second try, and you? I don't see your name in the top trainers for any league you competed in.
That last comment was vile, and of course hit Ash where it really hurts.
-You… that goes beyond the limits May, I have never criticized your coordination skills and have always supported you no matter what. What the hell is happening to you? These last days you act so strange, you get upset very easily and very often but you won't say a word about the reasons, I don't get you May and to be honest I don't want to, not with you like this.
The trainer was as furious as the girl; every word he said was true and even when some of those were tough he wouldn't regret, not even a little.
-…you, you… -May was speechless, she never expected something like this from Ash, she wanted to cry but resisted
-You don't understand me at all, I hate you Ketchum! –As soon as she finished the sentence she ran as fast as her legs allowed. In the bottom, she was waiting for Ash to come after her, and say some comforting words, but not this time. She continued running but of course, she couldn't go too far, not without Max. – Damn, I can't even run away properly, I'm pathetic…
-Ash –Brock yelled- why on earth did you do that to her
-Why I did that to her you say? She started it all, I just answered back
-Yes, but you don't treat a girl like this, yes, she has been acting differently these days but that's no reason to yell
-Pfff, now you make me feel like I'm the bad guy here
-You are, you should go after her and apologize, maybe all she needs is talking with someone, and who is better for that than her best friend.
-But I've tried that and didn't work, she is worried about something but I just don't know what, I have no idea, I feel like I can't do anything for her right now.. –The boy's face was filled with sadness; he was disappointed with himself for not being able to help his dear friend
May ran until she arrived to a Pokémon Center in the middle of the road, she decided to wait there for the rest of the group, she was confused, sad and regretting for everything she said to the boy.
-I am so stupid, yelling at him only for a comment –she sighed deeply- I, I want to see you Ash…
-Well, here I am May
-Ash!, what are you doing here?
There he was, the boy of his thoughts, standing in front of her. She couldn't believe it, a moment ago they were yelling at each other and know he is here, like wanting to say something
-Brock can be very convincing when he wants hehe, so May, I really need to know what is happening, and you are not acting like yourself I want to help you, please May…
The trainer offered his so known smile to the girl, she just melted at the sight, the words he just said, as simple as they were, really meant something for the brunette and she decided to let everything out.
-Ash, I wish I could tell you but I don't know what is happening to me, why I'm acting like this, the only thing I know is… every time I see you, every time you smile I feel something in my chest, something warm and nice…
-Wow, b..but don't worry May, we will find out, that's what friends are for –the trainer said with a blush covering his face.
The girl just giggled a bit and stared at him, she slowly stood and hugged our hero, the boy froze, he never expected something like this, even less expected for it to come from May.
-Look at them, just like the last time, in one moment they try to kill each other and in the next one they act…"weird". –the little four-eyed boy said with a serious attitude.
-Guys! -May yelled surprised to see his brother and friend staring at them.
-Wow Ash who would think you would be so good with the girls, I was wrong –the oldest of the group said, teasing not only the boy, but the girl in the process.
-Wait we are just eh… comforting yes I am comforting May you know, she's been having some problems lately and, as his friend, is my responsibility to help, yes, that is it.
-Yes Brock Ash is just being nice to me, that's all.
-I never said other thing guys, and… what is being nice after all? –Brock was having fun, surely he was.
The "couple" was bright red, May hid her face in Ash's chest and the boy tried to cover his own with his cap, none of these thing worked. After all the chaos finished, the center was alone, the only people in the main room were Ash and May, even nurse Joy and Chansey were having a little rest.
-You know Ash, I've been thinking of you a lot these days, I don't know why but your face always appears in my thoughts, I wonder why… -She said with a shyly voice and a slight blush on her cheeks.
-Hehe, when I was a child, I thought I could live without pain or sorrow, but as I grew, I realized it's impossible to do that…
-What?... I don't get what you are saying
-It's impossible not to have bad moments, moments when you feel everything is against you, moments of sadness, moments of pain, but I learned all of that is a very important part of one's life and now I see you struggling with yourself I'm sure that's true.
-Yes, I guess you are right but happy moments are also a part of your life, you just try to get as many of these as you can hehe.
-That's true, but sometimes you need a little help and that's where I appear –the trainer started laughing at himself- wow I sounded very deep and smart there
May of course laughed too, but she found Ash's words true and sincere.
-It's true Ash I… want you to help me, I want you to help me to realize what's happening right now, no, you are the only one who can help me, would you?
-Of course May I want to; I wanna see that smile of yours again
They stared at each other, the night seemed eternal for both, Ash was sinking in her beautiful sapphire eyes and she found Ash's look so comforting and sweet, she couldn't help but get closer and rest her head on his shoulders, that way, they spend another night together… Tomorrow will be another day, one that May had been waiting for so long…
