Runway to my Heart
Her heart pounded in her chest as Serena stared up at the older handsome man with wide eyes. The bell he had just given her was grasped tightly in her hands. Silently Serena felt as if Koga had just gained excess to land his flying type Pokémon in the runway of her heart.
"I hope you do not mind, but I have seen you about and you are beautiful," Koga all but stuttered out nervously, his face going bright red. "Every time I saw you smile it felt like my heart would sing in joy...and your laugh...the way you move..."
"You really did look at the true me before making up your mind to give me your precious bell during this special holiday, didn't you?" Serena asked with a love sick expression, ignoring those around them glaring at both of them with their own silver bells in hand. "You...you are nothing like the rest of them."
"I should hope not," Koga said softly and calmly though Serena could easily spot the nervous and fear in the ninja's eyes. "I do not go about doing things without thinking them out and making a careful plan."
"It sounds like we are opposites then as I am travelling with my Pokémon to find out what I want to do with my life," Serena explained, a blush found its way to her face as Koga gave her a proud and approving smile.
"Unlike some people your age you have a plan for the future even if it is not set in stone," Koga stated causing several of the watching hopeful's to groan sadly and disappear from the watching crowd. "I like how you treat your Pokémon, how you respect and honour others...you have something about you, a spark if you must call it something, that makes you different and stand out from all of the rest."
"Thank you Koga," Serena said shyly as she raised her bell holding hand and held it to her heart while making eye contact with the poison type gym leader. "I, Serena, accept your wonderful silver bell on this special day and I hope that we can make it into something more."
"I, Gym Leader Koga, thank you for giving me this honour to prove myself worthy to you and allowing me to take the first step in our relationship," Koga said as he said his half of the lines, unable to keep the silly grin off of his face. "D-D..."
"Yes?" Serena asked with a smile, enjoying how her growing crush was acting around her.
"Would you like to go and capture Pokémon together or have a battle?" Koga finally said, ignoring the shocked and dirty looks he was getting for suggesting such a thing. "I know that you like to drink tea and watch the clouds float by and do lots of girly stuff but...I know that you are a Pokémon trainer and-"
"I would love to, thank you for asking me instead of the other possible questions," Serena said with a happy smile that made Koga's knees go weak. "Too many people have asked me to do boring things with them like get a hot drink or go to a spar. I prefer the races, as a rider, or sky battles or exploring areas for new Pokémon."
Koga grinned proudly at Serena's words, it looked like the day was going to turn out alright after all.
