Red sat in front of the fireplace. After carrying her back to his cave, he had covered Leaf in all the blankets he had (which were quite a lot considering where he lived). She had gotten even more beautiful than what he remembered. What was she even doing there? Was she looking for him? After all these years? It couldn't be. Pikachu seemed to be as worried as he was. She could have caught neumonia, what was she thinking?

The girl moaned, she was waking up. He quickly got up and looked for the tea he had been heating up and served it in a cup. He walked up to her, who had already sat up on the couch near the fire. He handed the cup without a word, he wasn't really a person of words anyway.

She looked up to him, and gave a weak smile.
"Thank you" she whispered.

He sat next to her, wanting to say so much yet not able to say anything. To his relief, she talked:

"It's a cozy place.."

Silence again, he tried to say something.

"What are you doing here Leaf?" He hadn't meant to sound cold, but there was no other way it could be said.

"I... Saw your picture in the paper, and I just wanted to see if you were okay. Why on earth are you doing on the top of a mountain?"

She sounded nervous. He felt a bit guilty for treating her that way. He could never stay really mad at her.

"Training.. But, thanks for um, checking on me.." He managed to say. And even looked to her and gave her a half smile. He felt her relief. He got up and went out the door, Leaf smiled at Pikachu which ran and jumped on her legs.

"It stopped snowing at least." Red cried from a distance.
Leaf remembered the cold in the storm and brought the blankets closer to her. He came back and to her surprise, had a soft look on his face.
"You're out of your mind Leaf!" He simply laughed as Pikachu added: "Pika!"

They spent the day drinking tea at his table and talking about their lives, Red had gotten all the badges, from all the different gym leaders around Kanto. Defeated Team Rocket in the process. Leaf listened with her eyes wide opened. She felt so proud of him. She smiled:

"Your dream came true!"

Red smiled, then looked at her. "It was pretty lonely at times though." He hadn't meant to have said it out loud, but it had just slipped.
Leaf felt awkward.

"I-"

"What about you though?" He asked rather quickly.

"Oh, I-" Her mind went to Green. Shit. She was getting married and here she was having tea with ... Red. They were just friends now though, it was like talking to her aunt, or mom. She shrugged, it wasn't like that at all, she couldn't fool herself even if she tried.

"Leaf?"

She looked at him.
"I'm getting.. married." She simply said. Why was she feeling guilty over this? She had nothing to feel guilty about, Red had forgotten about her. No surprise though, Red looked away, kind of hurt.

"Who's the lucky guy?"

"Viridian's gym leader, his name's Green."

Red looked back to her, she could see the hurt in his eyes.

"Last time I checked team rocket owned that place."

"Yeah, well, Green took the leader test and got the place."

"Oh, well.. Congratulations on the wedding." He simply said, with a weak smile. She then got up, circled the table and hugged him from behind. There was so much she wanted to say, she hadn't forgotten him, even if he had.

Her arms were so warm, Red thought to himself. He had missed her more than he could have even imagined. The thought of her coming back to her hadn't ever crossed his mind, and when he saw her, in the snow, the flame in his earth started again. He sighed. Now he had just gotten burnt again.

"I should get back." Leaf said as she gathered her stuff. Pikachu gave Red the you know you don't want her to leave, make her stay look. He knew him too well.
"Be careful."
"I will." She smiled as she went towards the door.

Something inside Red exploted. He could have blamed it on Leaf coming back into his life, but it wasn't that. It was something else, something he was sure he understood.

"Why did you come back?!" He finally snapped at her. She stopped still at the door. "I was doing fine on my own, with Pikachu and... My mother calling me every once in a while and then you had to come back! Why?!"

Her reply was the last thing he'd ever thought to hear:

"Why didn't you write to me?" She turned around slowly.

Write to her? His mind went back to the 365 letters he had written.

"How dare you ask me why I came back when you didn't even bother to find me! I waited for you, I seriously did! It wasn't over for me! Now it's too late!"

Red felt an emptiness inside of him, he kind of had asumed she had gotten over him.

"I- I wrote you everyday for a year."

Now she was the one who wasn't expecting that.

"You- what?"

Red walked up to her and slowly cupped his hans on her cheeks.

"I never stopped thinking about you Leaf." He felt that fire in his heart again. "I wrote you all along. It wasn't over for me, it still isn't."

He brushed his lips slowly on hers and to his relief, she didn't pull away, but kissed him back. Her hands went to his chest, dropping all the things she was carrying. He pulled away slowly, to see her eyes, beautiful as always. This time it was her who pulled him close, for a more passionate kiss. His hands were now on her back and hers in his hair.

He gently lowered his hand to her legs and took her in his arms. He smiled at her. She smiled back. He hadn't felt this happy since he had won against Lance at the championship. He softly carried her to his bedroom and landed her on his bed.

What a kisser, Leaf thought to herself. She could feel her eyes getting teary. She wasn't sad though, just overwhelmed. Red was now kissing her neck with little pecks, making her feel chills across her body. She looked at him, to which he noticed and went to her lips again. She felt him smile in the kiss. His hand was making it's way under her shirt. The kisses had shifted back to her neck. She found herself playing with his hair and giggling. He sucked slowly on her skin but it was enough to make her feel like burning. She had never felt like this with anyone, not even with.. Green. Oh god. Green.

Leaf realised what was happening. She started pulling away. Red slowly noticed what she was doing. She didn't look at him, she simply got up and left the bedroom leaving Red alone.

She had cheated on Green. Oh god. She sat down on the floor, next to the couch. Poor Green had been nothing but good to her, and they were getting married and she just kissed Red without thinking. She felt the tears coming down her face, she loved Red, no, Green! Covering her face in her knees, she didn't even notice Red coming out of the room himself. He quietly sat next to her, not sure of what to do.

"Red I-" she started.

He looked at her without saying a word.

"I- never stop-ped..."

He could barely understand her.

"Stopped...lo-"

He still wasn't getting it. So he decided to wrap his arms around her, giving her his chest to her comfort.

"It's okay, I'm here." He whispered.

"I never stopped loving you" she then replied softly, as she fell asleep in his arms.
