Chapter 4: The Truth Told by the Green Haired Boy
I looked down at the ground, as I walked away from the boy who I thought gave a damn about me. And I actually gave a damn about him, but the thing was, all we had was each other. He had been treated terribly his whole life, and I cared for him, but now I was walking away. But I wasn't going to feel bad for him, after all, he did the same 2 years ago. "Black." I was so happy to hear him say my name as I stopped, still hiding my emotions, this case hiding how happy I was. "Black! Stop!" He run's up to me and turns me around. "Black. You're right. You've always been right. I am nothing but an awful person who's selfish in mind. I don't want to lose you again. Not a day went by that I didn't think about you. You crossed my mind daily. I missed your voice. I miss your hair, your hat, your warm soul being close to my empty cold one. I need you Black. Please forgive me. I'm sorry. I was clouded with my sadness. I wanted you to feel pathetic as I did." His long green hair flowed in the cold breeze of the night, and his tears poured down from his face like a waterfall.
"N. I didn't mean to make you feel pathetic." I insisted smiling trying to lighten thing up "No! I told you I understood that I was wrong. And that much was true, but.. I knew that'd mean leaving you. Losing to you. I just wasn't thinking clearly, I'm not making much sense, but all I know is.." N stopped and looked at me hoping I wouldn't make him finish. He took off my hat and laid it on the ground, rustled through my hair and finally said "Black, I love you." and kissed my forehead. Nothing was said for a few seconds. He was looking at me and I looked at the ground scared to look him in the eye. My face was burning red, again. I worked up the courage to look up and kiss him. His lips were so soft, I'd been wanting this for so long but I didn't realize it till now. We broke apart and I said, looking into his bright grey eyes that were still filled with tears, "I love you too, N."
He grabbed my hand, without saying a word, looked at the ground, picked my hat back up and placed it on my head. We then started our way back to Nimbasa City. Nothing was said on the way back. But holding his hand felt so right. I'm not sure if it was awkward or absolutely perfect. But maybe the slight awkwardness made it perfect. We arrived back into Nimbasa City, nearly ready to pass out. It had to be a least 2 or 3 in the morning. We quickly ran through the empty town, beautifully lit up, and made it to the PokeCenter where we got a good nights rest, together, at last.
I woke up alone in the PokeCenter hotel room. I of course freaked out. "N?!" I shouted. "N, where'd you go?!" I was in the main lobby when Nurse Joy signaled me to her from behind the big counter, with a big machine behind her. "Er.. Are you Black?" She said nervously "Why yes I am, why do you ask?" I said without hesitation. "A green haired boy left this note for you." she said handing me a cringed up piece of paper. I quickly grabbed the note and opened it when a black orb with string fell to the ground. It took me a few minutes to completely understand it. I folded it up, and put it inside my pocket. "Thanks for everything." I said leaving the PokeMon center "You're welcome, Mr. Black! Hope to see you again!" I wrapped the necklace around my neck and whispered quietly to myself "Good luck, N. Stay safe." as I kissed N's necklace. Leaving Nimbasa City.
