A/N: I'm back from writer's block, and it's been a very looong while since I've written a fic.Anyway,I'm terribly sorry for the long long wait. Here's the 3rd (and probably last) chapter of this fic. Hope you like it! Um, I also ran out of pokemon songs to insert in here too….Oh,and please R&R! comments and suggestions welcome, flames are...i dunno...

Can We Be Together Forever?

"Can I ask you something,Shishi?" Suzuki asked, his voice snapping me back to reality.

"Uh, sure, what is it?" I replied. His eyes told me he was unsure of what he was doing. He seemed to be reluctant to tell me something.

"Hey, what kind of a friend am I if my best bud can't tell me anything, right? I mean-" "Yeah yeah,I know. Shishi, if I… if I k-kiss you right now, would you object? I mean, now that I told you how I feel towards you…" Suzuki's voice sounded very nervous; not that I'm complaining. What he said took me by surprise, yet I managed to suppress a smile.

"Why do you ask?" I said instead. Suzuki blushed at that remark. Again, I managed to keep my cool and not give myself off.

"Nothing! I was just curious though…" he said sheepishly, now blushing more than ever.

"I mean, I'm just curious if you want our relationship to become nothing more than platonic?" he continued. I looked at him blankly, then I finally burst out in giggles.

"You're all worked up about that kind of thing? Why would you care about what I think of that?" I asked him, still maintaining my levity.

"Well, I wouldn't want to force you to do something you wouldn't wanna do." He said shyly.

"You still haven't answered my question yet, Shishi." He added after a few moments of uncomfortable silence. I calmed down a bit already.

"Uh,yeah. I mean, no. Well,you see…" it was obvious I had a really hard time with this,so I did the most unimaginable, un-me thing I have ever done in my entire life- I kissed him right then and there.

I didn't know how he'd react to that. Honestly, I felt as if I could die from fear that he would have gotten a really bad impression of me after I've done that. I kinda regretted that I kissed him without his permission, and I decided to pull back. To my surprise, he pulled me closer to him and I found myself comfortably in his arms. I placed my arms around his neck and pulled his head closer. I could feel his hand reaching up to my head and loosened my hair out.

After a few moments, Suzuki broke the kiss, pulling himself back. It was all too sudden, and I never expected we'd do such a thing. I stared at him, blank and confused. As for Suzuki, he came back to reality sooner than I did. Before I could speak, he placed a finger on my gaping mouth.

"You don't have to say anything. I guess that answers my question then." He smiled. I was stupefied at that. I felt my cheeks getting hotter by the second.

"W-wait a minute! I didn't mean to-! I mean…"

"Like I said, you don't need to say anything at all. I don't need an explanation for that thing…whatever it is. Anyway, it was rather unexpected of you to do that, but I'm glad since it saved us a lot of time for talk about our relationship. I guess you won't mind having a not-so platonic relationship after all." I blushed at that thought. If I would ever look at myself at the mirror right now, I guess I'd look like An Pan Man, or something like that.

"Now what are you blushing about for? There's nothing wrong with it. To tell you the truth, I prefer it that way. What am I saying? You must be getting freaked out by what I'm telling you, aren't y-"

"Suzuki…" I said finally, interrupting him.

"Yes? What is it?" he said, stupefied at my interruption.

"There's… There's something I have to confide with you…" I said. I didn't know how I was feeling, I was either so nervous or mad at myself for not telling him sooner.

"What is it, Shishi? Come on, you can tell me. I'm your best bud, remember?" he smiled at me.

"Suzuki, I…I love you too. I'm sorry I didn't tell you that sooner. And that thing you told me earlier, about being gay, it doesn't matter now, does it?" I told him, gaining some confidence.

"Of course it doesn't. I was just playing safe." He said lightheartedly. I laughed along with him. Honestly, I was glad that we would be a lot more than "just friends".

"Suzuki…"

"Yeah?"

"What was your impression of me after I kissed you like that?"

"That you're the best kisser that I ever met…"
