Benz: Listening to music..Check! Ready to type..Check! Just going with the flow of my usual time! Time for another chapter that I'm once again going to write for fun! Cause that's how I do! ENJOY!
I don't own pokemon.
It was now Ash's battle with the Pokemon Gym leader, Fantina. (A/N: Is that Hearthrome's Gym Leader? I think it is.. Sorry to inturupt, continue.) Ash had his Venusarur and he was confident to the max, since he battled many challengers at the age of 10.
Barry didn't really pay attention to his battle, he was to angry to even speak to Ash now, he thought of him saying all those stuff he said about Dawn, which made him cringe inside. He couldn't believe he was like this towards her when -on the other hand- he felt warm no matter if it was fighting, seperated or whatever. He sat next to Dawn, he was so close to her he managed to slip his hand on her's, which was on her knee. But don't blame him, he was to much in thought.
Dawn watched happily or so, she watched as the battle became more intense by every attack, she felt excited wanting to cheer him on when she felt something warm placed ontop of her hand, she glanced down and saw the familiar blue bracelet around their wrist and the white sweater sleeve. Dawn straightend her spine and glanced at Barry at the corner of her eye, "Barry, what are you doing?" she asked, a slight flush in her face.
Barry looked at her, he smiled, "What's wrong?" he asked. He didn't really noticed what was going on when he looked at the battle in front of him. But, Dawn cleared her throat and flexed her fingers on Barry's hand. "Your kind of holding my hand." she mumbled.
Barry's grin slightly faded when he followed his arm down to her knee, to find it placed on top of her hand. Gosh he felt super embarrased, he let go right away, putting his hand into his pocket, "Sorry." he said. His eyes went back to the show.
Dawn smiled at him, she removed her hand that was on her knee and held it with her other hand, she couldn't help but let a slight pink run over her face. It just felt funny for him to do this when he didn't notice.
Ash was at his last pokemon and of course he was winning, he turned to Misty and sent her a kiss. Making Misty blush warmly and looked away in embarrasement. Ash smirked and looked at Dawn. He winked, which made Barry's hands turn into fists, and giving a death glare. Back away.. he thought, gritting his teeth.
Dawn frowned at Ash and looked away. He's totally changed. I'm starting to miss the Ash I liked before... Dawn thought.
Ash's battle went quickly as ever, it has only been a full half hour and he finished in a instant, he defeated the gym leader and won the Sinnoh Hearthrome City's badge with no sweat on his brow.
Misty ran up to him and hugged Ash, "You did really great, Ash!"
"Thanks, Misty. I did it because my lucky charm were here watching me." he smiled.
Ash turned to Dawn and Barry, hoping to get a compliment from them from his fair battle.
Dawn didn't really have a choice, she glanced at Barry's back which he showed a cold shoulder to Ash, he was expecting one, "You did a terrific job, Ash. Congrats." her voice was low but she showed a little of happiness in her dark blue eyes.
"Ditto." Barry said, same low tone as Dawn's, but not a gleam in his eye as he just looked away.
"Thanks, Dawn." he said, walking his way to Dawn's figure. God, she's perfect. Perfect for anybody, perfect for me... Ash shot out a foolish smirk at his thought, he stared right at her perfect shape.
Dawn stepped back, her arms over her chest as Ash gave her a hug. It was cold and uncomfortable. As the way Dawn felt it. But, for some reason it wasn't the same as his childish ones, full of excitement and comfort which was a sign that he's there for her. But now, it's like he's wanting to do this to feel her body. Ugh. Good thought, Dawn...
Barry snapped his head at Ash, kind of shocked and irritated to see Ash hugging her with no excuse on his face for what for. It was bad for him to even doing that to poor Dawn. Preasuring her to do the things she doesn't want to do.
Ash looked up over Dawn's shoulder to see Barry being formal by his awesome moves on these two girls. But, only in his opinion though. Ash rubbed Dawn's back only to get a terror of annoyance in Barry's eyes, punching his fist in front of him, telling him to quit it. But, Ash wasn't buying it, he moved his head to Dawn's neck and sniffed her scent.
OKAY! THAT'S IT! HE JUST CROSSED THE LINE! Barry thought, he stepped behind Dawn, his hand in the air ready to give it a third chance to hit Ash, but he was looking forward on hitting where it hurts the most. Maybe the nose? Or the cheek bone. Ah, whatever, he just loved it when he falls in pain.
Dawn just stood there, her hands were squished between her's and Ash's chest. She didn't do anything but look at his lower shoulder, she could smell Ash's scent of sweet shampoo and colone and a hint of Misty's warm vanilla sugar fragrence. Just when Dawn sighed she felt Ash rub her back and nudged his face into her hair. Dawn furrowed her eyebrows and struggled to let go.
"Ash..." Dawn spoke, when she heard something hitting something hard than Ash stumbled back from Dawn. Giving her a chance to get out of his space to run next to Barry, watching the unconsious Ash fall to the ground. "What just happened?"
Barry flicked his hand, a little pain filled his nuckles but flexed his fingers, he looked at Dawn with a small grin. He didn't know if he should make something up or tell her the truth. And he knew that Misty wasn't watching she was to much still in her own little world of blushing over Ash, until she saw him hit the ground face first, since he turned a bit while on his feet. "I... Well..." Barry managed to speak out. He gave it more thought to what just happened.
"Barry, what happened?" she asked. The tone in her voice worried him, he was afraid if she was mad or upset with him. "Did you hit him?"
Barry sucked in his bottom lip, he was afraid to answer but her tone went to concern, maybe the tone that she was alright for what he had done, might as well give it a shot to answer truthfully instead of running off to where ever his feet would take him. But, that's not him any more, that's more of young Barry. Now, this Barry grown mature but not so much when he's with Dawn.
Barry looked down at Ash, he saw Misty comforting him as Fantina put some water on his face, he sighed and looked at Dawn, "Yeah, I did. I don't know what came over me... I guess."
Dawn's face became soft, she understand him, in a adult way, but she never saw Barry like this, he was more of a hyper, impatient kind of guy, fining everyone for getting in his way in the next ten seconds, or shouting in annoyance. But, this Barry seemed to be over-reacting to something about Ash if he hit him. "Why?" she asked, but she caught herself to desperate. She didn't mind if he hit him, he was getting to weird on her anyways. Was it a good thing? Probably, yeah.
Barry shrugged, "I..." he was to unsure about telling her how he felt right here, on this spot where there's a desperate Dawn and a unconsious Ash inside a Pokemon Gym, yeah, it seemed very romantic to confess here. Yep, just romantic... He shook his head, he had to focus what to say, "I can't tell you... Yet." he felt kind of stupid for adding the Yet in his response.
Dawn tilted her head, she wanted to ask why, but he seemed pressured enough to answer why he hit Ash. Maybe something happened that made him mad, was it him? Was it his battling? Maybe he got jealous. But, why would he if he already won all the badges in the Sinnoh region. Dawn was confused, what was Barry hiding? She really wanted to read his mind.
Barry shrugged, "Just forget it. Something came over me, that I had to take care of. And that was... Punching Ash's nose." he winced when he flicking his hand again, a little pain in the knuckle of his middle finger, and a little trickle of dry blood from Ash's nose. "I'll be alright. It doesn't hurt."
Dawn nodded, a little reliefed that what ever was going on he was okay with it, maybe. But what ever his problem is, it wasn't part of Dawn. So, she shouldn't have to worry about it. It's his problem. She kept that in mind when she asked if Ash is alright.
"Wow, Barry," Misty exclaimed, a glare came from her as her eyes met Barry's, "You really hit the life out of him. What came over you?!" she asked, standing up, walking over to Barry.
Barry stood up straight, eyeing Misty's deathful eyes as he spoke up to her, "You don't need to worry about it, either. It's only between me and Ash." he said, calmly but seemed harsh.
"Ash is my boyfriend. Whatever his problems is, is my problems, and whenever Ash has friends ironic as you, you have to tell me." Misty had demand in her voice, her temper was probably medium but her face was red in anger.
Barry didn't believe any of her words, he scoffed out and leaned towards her, ready to fire flurry question, "Where did you get that? Was it in one of your book of rules whenever you get a boyfriend? It's my problem and I have to take care of it, god damit!" he hissed.
Misty shook her head, "You're such a ironic..." she murmured the rest of her sentence when she stomped away from Barry.
Barry shook her head, "Watch your language, Misty." he smirked, catching Misty glare at him, sticking out her tongue before knealing back next to Ash. Barry crossed his arms, Talk about maturity at the age of sixteen. Barry thought sarcasticly, he shifted his body at Dawn, "I can't believe your friends with her."
Dawn's eye widen, she didn't understand what he meant about that, how could he say such a thing to her friend that supported her ever since they first met. But, she did agree that her temper was all so high but that's the natural thing about her, that's how she expresses her true self... Well that's what Dawn thought. But she focused on Barry's statement which brought a shout through her voice, "What do you mean about that?!"
Barry looked away from her idiotic way of standing on her tip toes to reach his height, so her face was near his face and her hair sticking up with steam coming out of her ears, what a freak. "You know what I mean."
Before Dawn could speak another word to him, which nobody knows, even her if it would be bad or not, when she heard Ash woke up.
He groaned and touched his nose, that's when nerves entered violently into his brain, making him yelp in pain, he wanted to hold his nose, but he knew it would hurt again. "My nose! What the heck happened?!" he argued, looking at Fantina and Misty, which they both looked at Barry.
Barry looked at everyone and he shrugged, "I had a choice." he didn't really know what the choice was but he had to find a excuse that everyone would want to know before they would send him to the poke center.
"What's the choice?" Ash asked, "Hitting me in the nose or the eye? Actually I'm glad you got my nose, it would be hard for Misty to look into my adorable, gorgeous brown eyes of her life! Because one would be swollen and bruised."
That wasn't going anywhere to Barry's response but he just responded anyways since nobody really cared about Ash's arrogance than Misty. "It's either me hitting you from the cheek bone hitting Dawn or punching you straight forwards directily in the nose where you can fall meter's away from her." Barry smirked, great excuse if I say so.
Ash titled his head, he nodded, "Great choice. I don't think anybody would be happy if Dawn was hurt or injured. But why woud you-"
Barry cut him off right away, he knew what he was going to say, "I don't know, okay! Well, I do know but just leave it. I can handle this myself. Just don't push it before I start kicking you where it really hurts!" Barry yelled, he grab a hold of his scarf and quickly walked out of the gym.
Dawn frowned, she really wanted to help Barry out. They've been friends for ten years straight now. They understand eachother but now he wouldn't give it out towards her. Why was it a secret that she can't know. Was it family? Because if it was Dawn would have gotten the message the same time as Barry, because her parents have been friends with Barry's parents long before they were born. She just had to help him out. Poor Barry... I would understand if you just told me what's making you so upset right now...
