A/N: Eh. This shipping bothers me, but whatever.
Hold close what you treasure
for one day
it might be gone,
and you'll regret
the day you took what you had for
Granted.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
What cliché words, he scoffs. But then again, he can't deny the truth that the over-said phrase holds. She really should be afraid, but that courage ringing in her namesake eyes is what holds Lance here. Here, in the Viridian Forest where no one else can witness their secret meetings. Here, where Lance can let go of his worries and fears. He often tells her that she is making a mistake, but he wants nothing more than to be selfish and steal her away.
The others suspect, but they're afraid of offending Yellow. And Lance. They're all afraid of Lance.
Except her. She was the only one that saw past the twisted attempt to save the Pokémon race and detected the love for nature underneath. (They're so similar, yet so different.) And so she sticks to this idea that with Lance she is safe. With Lance she is happy.
What a foolish girl.
He tells her that he will end up hurting her. But she never listens and it breaks his heart. Because he is afraid that one day he might actually damage her courage and spirit, and that is something that he does not want.
He fears for her. Almost more than he loves her. But he'd rather spend time scolding her for her stupid decisions. And because he loves her so much, he needs to push her away. So he threatens her friends, and while she claims that she doesn't believe him, there's a flicker of fear in her yellow eyes.
The next day, she does not appear for their schelduled gathering in the woods. Perhaps she finally took heed of his words. Lance wants to feel happy, for now she should surely be safe, but there is something stirring inside of him that puts him on edge. He can't quite put a name to it.
For the next week, Yellow doesn't show. Lance isn't quite sure why he keeps coming back, but something convinces him to take the familiar path through the grove to their quaint little meeting spot by an old willow. Every day the weight on Lance's heart gets a little more heavy.
Though one day, as Lance is about to turn and leave, he hears the soft whispering of a peculiar girl, begging him not to go. Lance turns and the feeling of being on edge is lifted and there's finally a name to the feelings brewing inside.
He stares into her golden eyes, pulls her close, and apologizes for ever taking her for granted.
A/N: Kay, here's my opinion on this shipping if you'd like to hear it. If not, then skip down to the next paragrpah. Gah, this shipping confuses me. I just don't like it because, while I see Yellow being the kind of girl to forgive Lance, I don't see her falling in love with him. I can, however, see Lance falling head over heels for a girl like Yellow. Like her. A girl like her that's maybe his age. I might like this shipping if THE AGE DIFFERENCE WASN'T THAT BIG. I mean, Yellow's like what in that arc, 11? And Lance is like 500. No, but he's gotta be at least like 20-somethin.
Bah! I've never written for this shipping, so parden any sucky-ness. I tried my best though. If you guys have any requests for Yellow shippins, I'd love to hear 'em. Just remember that I don't write yuri, kay?
