Her Lake
ORS

It was all so calming. The simple but harmonious chords sung by the waking Pidove, the occasionally chirp from a newly hatched Ducklett, the thin trees giving off the sweet aroma of berries.

Every morning since she returned, Leaf woke up just before sunrise and jogged down to the hidden lake concealed within Pallet Town's lush forest. It was an easy path, but still challenging enough to give her the exercise she craved in the morning. Tired from the run, she broke into a smile when she saw the lake. Her lake. No one else new about it, or if they did, they managed to keep it clear of debris, waste, and most importantly, the public.

As gorgeous tones of red, purple, orange and yellow awoke the region of Johto, Leaf did her usual routine of stripping her feet free of her flip-flops and allowing the waves to gently lap against her free toes. Blistered from her improper use of footwear, the brackish water from the lake helped soothe the ache in her joints.

She sighed contentedly. This was her alone time. Her rare moment of complete peace which had been taken away from her, ever since she was forced to participate in The Champion's Tour. As much as she loved to travel around the world with her friends and fellow champs, seeing amazing people and places, there would never be an identical place to her lake. They had a week of freedom from the tour though, and she made sure to spend as much time as she could here.

A small growl caught her attention. It was too early for any aggressive pokemon to be around this area, so what could it be? Leaf brushed it off. Though she didn't bring her entire team with her to the lake, she did have her Venusaur. His pokeball never left her pocket, other then when he was in Nurse Joy's care. He could probably clear out the entire population of pokemon living around the area with a simple razor leaf. Leaf laid down, digging her feet into the wet sand. As she closed her eyes, a louder, more bizarre growl was heard. She sat up, curiously trying to find the source of the strange sound.

There, hidden between two Pecha Berry bushes, laid Gary, curled up in a fetal position and snoring away. His lips were cracked and partially open, indicating he'd been asleep for quite sometime. His Umbreon watched Leaf indifferently as Gary continued to use him as a pillow. He made no move to wake his owner or alarm him, considering Leaf was a familiar face.

Leaf smiled. The internationally famous, cool, sly, Gary looked like an innocent little boy, sound asleep. She giggled and crawled over to him. Acknowledging Umbreon with a quick pet on the head, she began to dig in his backpack. She pulled out his spare blanket and placed it over him, a ghost of a smile traced upon her lips. She gazed at his body, his chest slowly rising and falling with each passing breath. Occasionally, he'd shudder and pull the blanket closer, the thin fabric hardly doing anything to contain his body heat.

It reminded her of how cold it actually was. Her body managed to ignore the chill since she was still hot from the run. She slid under the linen, mere inches away from his face. Though she was tinged with pink-which may or may not have been from the reflection of the rapidly rising sunset- being this close to Gary was nothing new to her, from their years of sleepovers as bestfriends.

But is that all they were? Best friends? Between the tabloids and constant nagging from her peers, she wasn't so sure anymore. What about Ash and Misty? And May and Drew? If anything those relationships would prove that bestfriends would always end up together some how. She crinkled her nose. Feelings can be so confusing. Leaf sighed and figured that they'd always be friends. He was just too cocky- too much of a flirt to be with someone like her.

As she turned away from Gary, she felt a lazy grip on her stomach. With a questioning gaze she looked behind her and saw her friend grinning sloppily, drawing her closer to him. "Freaking Gary. Stop molesting me in your sleep." She chuckled, happy to cuddle closer for warmth.

"Mmm... Finally Leaf..."

She whipped her head back to look at her sleeping friend. Finally Leaf? Why would he say that in his dream...while smiling? She flushed a shade of red that rivaled the morning sky and stared directly at the bushes in front of herself, wide-eyed and confused. She had so many questions.

Why did he say that? Does that mean he was thinking about her? Does he even know she's right next to him? What the hell is he even doing sleeping next to HER LAKE, crushing poor Umbreon with his fat head?

Confused and slightly light-headed, Leaf blamed her irrational thinking on her lack of sleep. She gently smiled before cuddling into him further and dozing off into a nap. Whatever their future may be, she wouldn't worry about it. Because right now is just perfect.

But of course she'd love to see the look on his face when he wakes up with her in his arms.
