Me - Hey, I'm back with a new chapter!

Drew - Aren't you on a six-week trip and way too busy to update?

Me - I am, but I got sick today and decided to write this.

May - Get well soon!

Me - Thanks May, do the disclaimer please.

May - AdorableSkitty doesn't own Pokémon

Me - On with the story


I is for I love you

Three words, they are just three simple words. So why are they so hard to say? They aren't complicated words like Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis,Floccinaucinihilipilification or Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. No, they aren't nearly as complicated. Just three simple words, each one with less than 5 letters. It should be really easy to say them.

But for Drew, it isn't. He could rather say the complicated words to May and explain their meaning to her, since he was sure she wouldn't know them, than actually saying those simple three words to her.

It's not like he doesn't want to say them, it's that he can't. His normally confident self lacks when it comes to his feelings for May. He doesn't know what she feels, so he can't be confident about that. If this was about one of his fangirls, he'd know for sure how to say those words, since he would know that she feels the same.

And although he knows that his chances aren't bad with May after all she kept his roses, left Ash and the others to follow him to Johto and they are even traveling together, but he can't know for sure, that girl is unpredictable.

If he came to know one thing about her, except for her extraordinary appetite, it would be the fact that May never fails to surprise him. The first time he met her, he thought of her as some rookie who wouldn't stand a chance in the coordinating-world, now she's made it to the Grande Festival several times. She's even made it to the finals and he knew that she has more than enough to achieve the title of a Top-Coordinator.

Her unpredictability was one of the things he loved about her, but right now it was the thing that scared him most. If he would tell her those 3 words, there is no way he could predict her reaction due to her unpredictability.

Not being able to predict her reaction made him insecure. If she'd feel the same, everything would turn out fine and he would be able to call her his girl and not just mentally claiming her as his, but if she doesn't feel the same way, he is aware that he might lose her, as a traveling companion, as a rival and as a friend since things would most likely become awkward then. He didn't want to risk that, he didn't want to lose her. If she can't be his girlfriend, he's better off knowing that at least the friend part is there, or is he?

As her friend he would spent time with her, as her friend he would be able to talk to her but as her friend he would have to look at her on her wedding day, when she's getting married to another man, because as her friend, she would invite him and he'd have to come. But he didn't want that, he wants to be the man who is marrying her, not the friend who is looking at her while she marries someone else, but as her friend, he is doomed to watch her marry someone else.

He realized that he didn't want to be her friend, he wants to be her boyfriend, and as selfish as it might be, being just her friend isn't good enough for him. He wants to be the one she loves, he wants to be the most important person in her life, not just another friend.

But to accomplish that, he has to tell her how he feels, he has to say those 3 simple words to her, then his part is done and the rest depends on her. He knows that he can't predict her reaction, he knows that very well, but he also knows that losing her now won't be as painful as having to stick with being just her friend for how whole life while watching her love someone else.

With his mind made up he made his way towards May, who was sitting on a bench watching the sunset.

"Hey May," Drew greeted her.

"Oh, hey Drew. Are we leaving for the next town already?" She asked him.

"No, I just came here because I need to tell you something," he replied.

"What is it?" May wanted to know.

"I love you," he confessed. He did it. He had said it. He finally said those 3 words he's been trying to tell her all along.

May looked a bit confused for a moment, but smiled then and responded, "I love you too."
