May walked beside the art director of Hoenn Magazine with a cup of coffee in her hands. They were discussing the possible theme colors for the next issue.

"I'm just saying, with Misty Waterflower as our cover girl, I think we should use like bright colors or something." May said, explaining her view.

"But she'll be wearing pastel colors for the shoot." The director said.

May laughed rolling her eyes and smiled at him, "Then why are we having this conversation?"

"Good point" he said in agreement. "I'll go now. Thanks." He turned his heel and went the opposite direction.

May waved goodbye before entering her office where a surprise was waiting for her.

"Hi" Brendan grinned at her. He was seated on the edge of her desk, with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Brendan!" she went over and gave him a hug and a kiss on the lips. "What are you doing here?" she asked him, as her arms wrap around his neck and his hands rested on her hips.

"I felt so guilty leaving you the other night that I was itching to make it up to you." he said with a sad smile on his face.

"Oh, no you don't have to feel guilty for anything." May assured, shaking her head. "I mean that's your job, and I know you are passionate about it. And besides your job is pretty important. People need you." she said gently, smiling at him softly.

He laughed. "Okay, but I don't want to be the guy who puts his job before his girlfriend. But still" he said wrapping his arms around her, pulling her closer. "I still feel guilty."

"Well" she pouted, "we can't have that now can we?"

Brendan grinned down at her, "Are you busy right now? Do you want to have some lunch?"

"How can I say no to you?" she asked with a giggle.

"Is it because I'm adorable?" he smiled, and then pecked her on the lips.

"Maybe…" she giggled again.

"So, what did you do after I left?" he asked, as he cut into his grilled chicken.

"I went to see Drew and we had dinner." She chewed on her spaghetti. She then looked at him nervously, "That doesn't bother you right?"

He bit his lip before answering, "No…" he lied through his teeth. "I know he's your best friend." He said hesitantly.

She nodded her head, feeling relieved, believing his words.

"Even though everyone did think that you two were together." he said with a bitter tone.

"What?" she asked in shock, she dropped her fork onto her plate. "Everyone thought me and Drew were together?"

"Yeah" he shrugged nonchalantly.

"And by everyone, even you?"

"Everyone." He nodded, "And I did at first until I actually talked to you…" he added on, "All the guys wanted to ask you out."

She frowned, "Like who?"

"All of the jocks…" he chuckled at her frown.

"What?! Those guys were hot!" she whined. "but wait you said at first you did, what made you change your mind?" she asked curiously.

"We were friends" he shrugged, "I mean you even told me to."

She took a sip of her iced tea, "But if we weren't friends, would you have believed everyone else?"

"Maybe…" he shrugged, "All I know is that I would be heartbroken. Any guy who has you is the luckiest guy to ever live."

"Really?" she blushed at that compliment.

"Sure. I'd be the unlucky bastard who missed out on your perfection."

May shook her head, still flushed. "I'm not perfect…"

"Yes you are." He nodded. His hand grabbed hers gently. "You are perfect in every single way. And I feel lucky that I have you."

She cocked an eyebrow at him, "you are one smooth talker, aren't you?" she giggled a bit.

"Well" he shrugged with a smirk forming on his face, "It worked, didn't it?" he then let out a laugh.

The next day

During breakfast, Gary came in through May's door, holding a big bouquet of flowers.

"Yo" he greeted, dropping the flowers on her table.

"Sup" she greeted back, staring at the flowers in confusion. "You going to a cemetery or something?"

Gary rolled his eyes, "No, those were on your door step." He said, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Oh!" May stood up and looked for the card between the stems. When she found it, she read it out loud, "I maybe the doctor, but you're the one saving me. Brendan. PS: Sorry for the lame message, I haven't slept for 12 hours and it was the best I could come up with. Call you later :)"

May laughed, but then froze, realizing her brother was next to her, eating an apple. "I have to tell you something." She says hesitantly to him.

"You don't say?" Gary teased. May forced a cheeky smile at him. "How long?" he asked her curiously.

"Almost two weeks…" she winced slightly

Gary threw himself off of the chair acting dramatic, he was chewing on what was supposed to be May's breakfast.

"I was going to tell you" May defended, "but then you had that fight with Leaf and—I'm sorry, are you mad?" she asked nervously.

Gary glanced back at her and chuckled, while shrugging, "Why would I be mad?"

"I don't know because I'm your sister?"

"May" Gary put an arm around her. "I knew Brendan in high school, he doesn't seem like a bad guy. He's actually almost as nice as Drew."

"Drew?" she asked furrowing her eyebrows.

"Yeah" Gary said with a smirk on his face, "I can actually see why you like Brendan. He and Drew are almost alike."

May broke away from his arm, narrowing her eyes at him "What are you saying? That I'm dating Brendan because he reminds me of my best friend? I never even thought they were alike, until you just said it."

Gary raised his hands in surrender "Sorry sis, just stating the obvious factor." He bit his apple, and chewed sloppily, with a mouth full of apple he asked, "By the way, does Drew know?"

She shook her head, "No, I didn't want to tell him, until I told you. But I'm gonna tell him today."

"NO!" he snapped.

May looked at him strangely, "What? Why?"

Gary shook his head, "Just don't…" he said, unsure of himself.

"Why?" she asked him again.

"Just don't" he argued.

"Gary—"

"Just trust me okay!" he snapped at her.

It was then May's turn to raise her hands in defense, "Alright, alright I won't tell him. Sheesh."

Gary switched the channel on the TV until he found a re-run of Friends. May came out of her room, dressed to go to work.

"So," she said. "What are your plans for the day, besides raising my cable bill?"

Gary sighed softly, "I was thinking of going to Leaf's."

"Really?" she asked with a smile, impressed at her brothers, finally mature behavior.

"Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen her since the fight and—"

"Are you gonna tell her you still love her?" she asked, grinning at him.

"Sure, if you pass me the tequila." He said with a chuckle.

"But you should!" she said, sitting down on the couch next to him. "You should. It could stop the divorce."

Gary turned the TV off. "Yeah, I know that, but she doesn't love me anymore May. I may love her, but she doesn't."

She shook her head, "You don't know that" she took his hand in hers. "It's still worth a shot."

"I don't know…" he sighed. He took the remote and then turned the TV back on.

Gary's hands were dug deep into his pockets as he walked back to his old apartment. The old apartment he shared with Leaf. He rubbed the back of his neck before knocking, feeling hesitant for doing this, he suddenly wanted to turn back. But he knew, he knew he had to do this. Damn guilt.

He remembered when he and Leaf were still married. He didn't have to knock just to get in. he could open the door on his own account. He'd announce that he was home and he's see Leaf in the kitchen, preparing dinner. She'd smile at him and greet him. And he would wrap his arms around her from the back and kiss her neck and cheek. She'd giggle, forcing herself to turn around for their lips to meet. Gary missed that. He really, really missed that.

He craned his neck, swallowing his pride and cleared his throat. He made a fist and knocked on the door. He started to pray that his ex-wife would let him enter his—ex-home. The door swung open and Leaf appeared wearing a loose sweater that ended to her mid-thigh.

"Gary" her tone was surprised at the same time questioning.

"Hi" he said. "Can I come in?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

Leaf stared at him in wonderment, she bit her lip nervously "Um…sure." She said softly, stepping aside.

Leaf crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for Gary to say something.

"We didn't leave things right, the last time we saw each other." he said in a quiet voice.

She nodded her head to agree. She tucked a loose end of her hair behind her ear. Gary started to remember how her hair used to be curly, but now it was partially straight.

He shook his head to erase the distracting thought, "I uh—wanted to fix that." He admitted. "We can settle stuff."

She raised an eyebrow at him, surprised by his offer. "Oh—uh, okay. I'll, uh—get the papers then."

They found themselves at the coffee table, with a beer bottle in their hands. They stopped talking about the divorce when the booze started to kick in and they both started reminiscing the time they were married.

They just kept laughing and laughing at forgotten times, and unforgettable memories.

"You remember when we were watching Final Destination, that one night?" Leaf asked while letting out a fit of giggles.

"Yeah. It was so quiet and—you were the one who insisted we turn off all the lights" Gary grinned, laughing as well.

"I know. And then we heard a bang from behind us" she laughed even harder.

"We jumped and screamed so loud, we woke up the entire floor and the one below us." He chuckled, grinning at the memory.

They laughed together in unison, remembering the day. Gary watched Leaf laugh, while her light brown hair bounced. He stopped laughing and just grinned, staring at her timeless beauty. Leaf took notice and gave him a questioning glance.

"What are you looking at?" she blushed under his stare, she doesn't know if it was from the alcohol or just because he's Gary. And he has that effect on her.

"What happened to us?" he asked suddenly, as tension started to fill the room.

"No. Gary. Just don't." she stood up to get some more beer. "Let's not do this."

"No, seriously. I need to know what went wrong?" he followed her, with a frown on his face.

"Because" she sighed. "We aren't high school anymore. We both changed and—and high school relationships aren't supposed to last." She whispered the last part out.

She turned back to the fridge and grabbed two more beers and placed them on the counter.

"I still love you" he admitted.

Leaf froze. She looked back up at him with a questioning glance as if she was just meeting him again, for the first time. She searched his eyes and found nothing but honesty and love.

Gary sighed and pushed his hair back, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't of said that." He turned to walk away.

But Leaf grabbed his hand and turned him back around. And the next thing he felt were her lips on his and somehow, they ended up on the bed they used to share.
