Can't fight this feeling 3
The song that I used for this song fic is, Through the years.
*~*~*~*~
Soon we were in the depths of the wood. Both of us were quite out of breath of so we found somewhere to take a break. We sat down together, side by side. The scenery was beautiful. The sound of the waterfall just behind us was so soothing and the feel of the warm lush grass underneath my hands made me feel so at peace. I could sit here all day.
"It's so relaxing out here, isn't Misty?" Ash's voice made me snap out of my thoughts.
"Yeah, it is." I smiled at Ash.
"Hey Ash, why'd you bring me here?" I faced my companion.
Again he flashed me his trademark smile and once again I felt my legs melt.
"Just wanted to spend some time out here to relax with my best friend and you like water so I thought that you would like it here," he answered.
I cast my gaze down at my feet to hide my blushing face. Never would I think that Ash would be so considerate of others. So considerate of me.
I can't remember when you weren't there,
When I didn't care for anyone but you.
I swear we've been through everything there is,
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do.
"Misty?" I looked up at Ash.
"Brook told me something today," he began.
I couldn't believe what I just heard! Did Brook tell Ash that I like him? He promised that he wouldn't!
"He said that you have something that you need to tell me."
I stared at Ash, a wave of relieve and fear running through me at the same time.
"No, I don't. Why'd you think that I have something to tell you?" I turned away, not daring to face Ash.
"Misty," Ash's voice sounded so caring and concerned that I couldn't help, but turn to face him. His face seemed expressionless and it scared me.
"You do have something to tell me, don't you?" he asked.
Not even waiting for my answer he continued.
"I'm not going to force you to tell me Misty, but whatever it is, it's been making you very upset these last couple of days and I don't want you to keep it all bottled up inside of you. It's not healthy for you."
Through the years
You never let me down,
You've turned my life around.
The sweetest days I've found
I've found with you.
I never knew that Ash took so much notice of me. To me, he hasn't acted any different today compared to any other day. Still just as determined to reach the next town to earn his next badge.
"Ash…I…" I choked on my sobs.
I felt Ash's hand on my shoulder.
"It's okay, Misty. You don't have to tell me anything," he comforted me.
No, I said to myself. I'm not backing down again. I've done enough of that to last me a lifetime.
"No Ash. You need to know and it's about time I let this out," I whispered.
Ash slowly took his hand off my shoulder and I wiped away my tears with my hand. I closed my eyes before starting.
"Ash, I've been keeping a secret from you ever since we first met."
"I haven't told anyone this secret of mine. I've wanted to tell you so many times, but I've been too afraid to. But I can't be afraid anymore. You need to know, you have a right to know," I paused, searching Ash's eyes.
Through the years
I've never been afraid,
I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed right here with you
Through the years.
"Ash, I…I…" I couldn't go on as streams of tears poured down my face.
I looked away from Ash and buried my face in my hands. I can't do this! Nothing's worth losing my friendship with Ash. Nothing.
Then I felt Ash sitting even closer to me and wrap his arms around me.
"Misty, please don't be like this."
"Ash," I gazed at him, tears still running down my face. "You don't know how much this hurts me."
"Misty, just say it. This way it's hurting me and you," he urged.
I took Ash's advice and taking in a deep breath I let out my deepest secret that I've kept hidden for 3 years.
"Ash, I love you," I whispered so quietly that I though Ash hadn't heard me, but when I heard him inhale sharply I knew he had.
I can't remember what I used to do,
Who I trusted, who I listened to before.
I swear you've taught me everything I know
I can't imagine needing someone so.
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more
I saw Ash's emotionless face and I cried.
"I'm sorry Ash! I never should have told you. I should have known that someone like you would never like me. You could never like someone like myself!"
"You're right, Misty," I heard Ash's voice and it felt like someone had just stabbed me.
No physical pain could ever compare to what I was feeling.
I pushed myself up and was about to turn and leave when I suddenly felt Ash grab my wrist.
Ash forced me to face him and before I knew what was happening Ash's lips was covering my own. I didn't know how to react so I just stood there as I felt Ash kissing me. I couldn't believe what was happening. One minute, Ash was telling me that he didn't like me and now he was kissing me!
My mind was still confused when I felt Ash pull away from me.
I could only stare at him, my whole body paralysed. If Ash hadn't still been holding me I would have fallen.
Through the years,
Through all the good and bad,
I knew how much we had,
I've always been so glad to be with you.
After what seemed forever, I heard Ash's voice speak.
"I could never like you, Misty."
His words stunned me. Then what did that kiss mean?
"I could only ever love you."
Through the years
When everything went wrong,
Together we were strong,
I know that I belong right here with you
It seemed like a truck had just hit me. Did Ash just saw what I think he said?
"Ash…do you…mean that?" I stammered.
"Have I ever lied to you?" he smiled at me and I felt like the happiest girl alive.
"You love me," I whispered, in a trance.
"You love me!" I yelled and I flung my arms around Ash, never wanting to let go.
I felt Ash wrap his arms around my waist and once again my eyes filled with tears. But this time they weren't tears of hurt or of anger. They were tears of joy and happiness.
After what seemed like eternity I finally let go of Ash.
"Man, you almost suffocated me, Mist," joked Ash rubbing his neck.
For the first time in ages I laughed and it felt great. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to laugh.
Holding hands, Ash and I made our way back to the Pokemon Centre.
Resting my head on Ash's shoulder I knew that Ash loved me just as much as I love him and nothing could ever come between us.
Through the years
I never had a doubt
We'd always work things out.
I've learned what love's about by loving you
Through the years.
