Title- Feelings
Summary- Ash, Misty, and Brock are traveling through the Kanto region after Ash returns from the Hoenn league, and Ash has something on his mind. Will a simple gesture help him show the way he really feels about a certain someone? And what will happen when they get caught in a storm and have to find shelter in some nearby caves? Pokeshipping, AAML, Ash/Misty.
Chapter 1- The Breakdown"Hey Ash!" Misty called, running up to him.
She stopped to catch her breath before continuing.
"Ready? Brock's already gone ahead to check how far away the nearest Pokemon Center is from here. He's already a mile away! We'd better start walking if we want to eat tonight!" she half-joked, half-complained.
The dark-haired trainer grinned at her, and stood up.
"Sure Mist, whatever you say," he replied in a totally out-of-character way.
Misty was a little surprised.
'He didn't retaliate. He didn't complain. He just… AGREED WITH ME???' (A/N: I know, pretty unbelievable right? anyway, sorry for the interruption P)
'He's matured since I last saw him… Wait… Ash? Mature? That can't be right.' she thought, confused. Then she sighed, and frowned a little.
'I guess he really has been gone a long time… It seems like I don't know anything about him now…'
These thoughts left her feeling a little depressed, and a little tear formed in the corner of her eye.
But Ash didn't notice this because he couldn't see the certain eye in which the tear was.
After awhile, Ash swiveled his head to the right so he could see Misty. She had been awfully quiet, and he wondered if she was all right.
He noticed something odd. Misty's hair was down, and it covered her so that he couldn't see her face.
She had let it down earlier so Ash wouldn't see her crying.
"Mist? Why's your hair down? You never take it down," he said, a little concerned, "Are you okay?"
A little muffled sound came from beneath the hair.
"What'd you say Mist? I couldn't hear you with your hair in your face." Ash was starting to get worried.
He walked closer to Misty, brushed her hair aside with one hand, and gasped.
Misty was…crying?
"Mist! Why are you crying?" Ash softly asked.
He pulled her into a warm hug, and her tears began to slow.
She buried her face in his chest and her tears stopped altogether.
Misty thought a moment, and when she finally made up her mind and knew what she was going to say, she lifted her head from his chest, and looked up at him.
'He's taller too…' she thought, and a stray tear slid halfway down her cheek.
Ash lifted a hand from around Misty, and gently brushed away the tear on her face. His gaze was soft as he looked at her, waiting for her answer.
"B-be-cau-se," Misty began shakily. She stopped and took a deep breath. Her voice came out a little steadier this time.
"Because…I…"
Ooh yay a cliffy D Well, you all think you know what Misty's gonna say, but you might be wrong O Anyways, please Read and Review like always ) Next chapter up soon!
