A/N: Hello! I know I haven't updated in a bit but I've been working on my other fic and honestly I had a bit of writers block coming up with this one lol anyway guys, it is a short one but nonetheless I hope you guys like it :)
Pairing: Contestshipping
O: Odd
"Why don't you ever talk about your personal life?"
Drew Hayden whipped his head to left where May Maple sat so fast that he may as well have gotten whiplash.
Scrunching his face up in half disbelief and half confused manor,"Come again?",Drew said as he blinked a few time. He didn't quite understand what the girl asked.
"Oh it's just because we've been on the road here in Johto for a while now traveling from city to city competing in contests that I always wondered". The fourteen year old paused before she spoke again,"You just never really open up".
The green hair Coordinator of the same age nodded from the couch he sat on in the Pokemon Center as they were waiting for their respective Pokemon to be healed. "I don't know honestly. The only person that knows some about like my parents and stuff is Solidad and that's because we met when I literally just started out. It's nothing personal or anything but that was four years ago". He spoke realizing towards the end how unintentionally rude it sounded.
May smiled despite that since she figured it was a touchy subject anyway. She did harbor feelings for the boy and from what Solidad said and by Harley's unfiltered teasing, he feels the same. May was just about to speak to change the subject when he spoke again, it half startled her because of his guilt laced tone.
"My father he is an odd ball. My mom she left him when I was just a little kid. The divorce was tough and my mom found someone else and it turned out she was cheating on my father with one of his workers. She-",Drew took in a deep breath,"She wasn't much of a mom to be honest. My father was always busy working and she lived off of his money. They were young but she was younger than him. The women liked to party and she left".
May scooted herself to sit closer to Drew on the couch. She put her head down feeling bad that she even asked the question to begin with. "Oh Drew, I'm sorry about that. Really you don't have to continue".
He shook his head. "No it's alright May. You told me all about yourself and I haven't been fair". She blushed when he said that and noticed he had a pink tinge to his cheeks as well. "She got remarried and lives somewhere in Hoenn, I honestly don't know care. My father he owns a big company in LaRouse City, he never had time for me anyway but I stayed with him because I had the run of the house. He practically swam in money so the nannies watched me. One of my nannies was a former Coordinator and that's how I found my passion for it".
May nodded her head and gave Drew a smile,"So you knew at a young age what you wanted then".
"Yeah",Drew replied with a bight smile, he loved Coordinating. He met a lot of great people and is currently traveling the world. Not to mention he is sitting next to the one girl that made his heart pounding like a belly drum attack. He smiled at that but then a frown adorned his face,"But my father he didn't well, he still doesn't approve of me doing this. So that's why he's odd to me. He was never around and after my mother pulled her stunt he dated all of his secretaries and when he wasn't out wining and dining them, he worked. So he could care less about me. But yet when it came close to my tenth birthday I told him what I wanted and he wouldn't have it".
"Aw Drew, but you're here now so that means..."
"Yup, I left. I packed up and left. The nanny I had told me she was proud of me for going after what I wanted and wished me luck. She reminded me almost of Solidad in a way and I think that's why I opened up to her the way that I did".
May asked suddenly,"What about...me?"
"You?"
She nodded a yes.
He was just about to answer when Nurse Joy called for them over the intercom. When the interruption ended he simply smiled,"You are... you, that's why".
This left the girl confused but accept it when she detected the slight stutter and his way of dancing around the subject. Maybe one day you'll tell me how you feel. But, I will let you spill it first. With that she followed behind Drew.
