Leafgreenshipping is apparently the term for Gary X Leaf. Oldrivalshipping is apparently for the manga shipping Green/Blue X Green/Blue while Conflictshipping is apparently for the game-verse Blue x Leaf... Yeah, sure, okay. Correct me if I'm wrong because it is confusing for me. I feel like Oldrivalshipping would be a better name for the game-verse, but okay.

Anyway, this is Gary x Leaf, or Leafgreenshipping, or whatever works.

Gary had never hated being perfect as much as he did today. There were girls everywhere, and while most of them weren't focused on him (anymore), there were enough of them crowding around him to annoy him. Now, most of these girls were normally around him, and he knew none of them were bad people. Hell, most of them were actually his real friends, and they were actually decent people. He would normally enjoy being around these people.

But there was only one girl he wanted to see at the moment. And of course, the one girl he actually wanted to see was the one girl who would avoid this room like the plague on a day like this. Hell, she's even skipped class a few times to avoid this. He couldn't blame her.

The boy ran his hand through his spiky brown hair as he faked a confident grin and thanked yet another girl for her box of chocolate before having to push his way through his somewhat friends, trying to make it through the crowd of students who had gathered in this one damn classroom to give their friends or love interests chocolate. He groaned, mentally cursing himself for being dumb enough to come in here despite knowing the risks. Seriously, he couldn't even see the door!

Suddenly, a usually quiet voice called out through the chaos, demanding to be let through.

"Excuse me! Coming through! Everyone, please move!"

Surprisingly enough, a large group of students actually moved aside, making a straight path to the door, where a beautiful girl with light brown hair and grass green eyes spotted him and smiled. Gary couldn't help but smile back.

Leaf, his childhood friend, had actually come to the classroom. Judging from the way she was looking at him, like she had a purpose to fulfill, she may have even come to endure this hell for him. He felt his heart flutter with joy like...well, like someone in love. He wasn't too surprised when Leaf, having finally reached him, gave him a weird look and said, "Why are you grinning like an idiot, Oak?"

He tried desperately to wipe the grin off his face. It wouldn't go away.

"Oh, nothing. What can I do for you, Leafy? Did you come to steal some of my chocolate like you do every year?"

"Shh! Don't say that out loud, you idiot! What if one of them hears you?" Leaf snapped back, looking around frantically to make sure nobody heard them. Some of Gary's female friends were looking at them funny, but nobody seemed to hear that Leaf had been stealing some of the chocolate that the girls had been giving to Gary for Gary. She sighed before taking his hand and starting to drag him out of the classroom.

"Whatever! Just come with me! And no, you can't take any of your girlfriends with you!" She called over the noise to a slightly confused Gary.

After taking a minute to find their way out of the classroom, Gary and Leaf finally found themselves far away from the classroom, in a quiet part of the hallway. There were other classrooms getting ready to start classes for the day, but for some reason, students always picked that classroom to exchange chocolates on Valentine's. Leaf used to always insist the classroom was cursed, which Gary would always tell her was ridiculous, which would lead to an argument, and...you get it.

"So, Leafy..." Gary said as Leaf finally let go of his hand as they finally stopped. However, before he could say anything else, a small box of chocolates was practically shoved in his face. It took a moment for him to register that Leaf was the one holding them. Despite being his childhood friend, Leaf had never really gone through the trouble of giving him chocolates, having never really gotten the point of the tradition (or relationships, or love in general) and having seen that Gary got enough chocolate for the both of them. So the fact that Leaf of all people was giving him chocolate was...major.

"Leaf...?"

"Just take the damn thing before I change my mind, Oak!"

At a loss for words, Gary carefully took the box of chocolates and, after glancing at a blushing Leaf, opened the box and tossed one of the small chocolates into his mouth.

"Holy-! These are amazing! Where did you get these?" He exclaimed in shock. Looking down at the chocolates in the box, they were fairly simple looking, just little rectangles. How the hell did they taste better than anything that the other girls had made and decorated by hand?

"I made them." Leaf grumbled back, her face a tomato red color. "I can cook, you know."

For the second time in the past sixty seconds, Gary was at a loss for words. Not only had the girl he was very obviously in love with gotten him chocolates for the first time in ever, but she had made them by hand, just for him...he hoped.

Without even thinking, he pulled Leaf into a hug for the first time in years.

"Gary?" Leaf inquired, but she didn't push him away.

"I'll...I'll think of something to pay you back, I swear." He said.

The two stayed like that for several minutes in comfortable silence, until Leaf saw their other childhood friend, Ash Ketchum, come around the corner before stopping in shock upon seeing them before turning red in embarrassment.

The two stared at each other, Leaf blushing as she stared at him over Gary's shoulder (who hadn't even noticed his best friend's presence) before he bolted back down the hall.

And knowing Ash, he was probably going to tell the whole damn school.
