Reflections in the Deepest Light
By H-Man
No reviews for three chapters. Please say if I suck.
I was nearing tears when I realized that I was holding that for months, and that it was suppressed for so long. I had recovered my breath, but I still felt weak. But it wasn't the weak people usually connect. It was another type of weak. It was the kind of weak where you feel your body turning into jelly and your legs can't support you and there are Ledians in your abdomen flying around and making a mess in there. It was so… strange. I wasn't prepared for that. Maybe I still am not.
I tried to focus on him, now. I had to know who was talking to me. Who helped me. Who… who did what I could not.
My mind raced as the images started to connect. Black raven hair, the color of a Murkrow. A gold-colored cap, twisted, facing the back of his head. A hooded jacket, with a color mix between gold, orange, and black, keeping most of his body hidden. A lighter shirt, still with the orange theme, but with tones of blue. Short, black pants, that reached his knees. Typical sneakers, but there was something remarkable about them I could not remember. Dark, chocolate-brown colored eyes.
That face was incredibly familiar…
Was he not the trainer who had defeated the Elite Four, a few weeks ago?
I walked towards the announcement board, and took a good look at the newspaper that was stuck there. Indeed, there was the perfect image of the boy. The subtitle said that he had defeated the last Champion, Lance, and that he had decided to head to the Kanto region next. There was, however, something that took my attention from the rest of the newspaper.
There was a girl in the picture.
A girl who seemed, by all instances, his girlfriend.
And, for some reason, that made my insides burn up with anger. Even though I never felt that sort of thing before.
But why? Why would I feel so strange about a boy? A boy, of all things, who was just someone I met once?
Why did my heart ache so much?
Okay, you heard me. Do I suck so much? Oh well, I'm nearing the end...
