I layed back in my seat, a little bored. The moment of wanting to say something had passed, only now it had become an akward silence. Neither of us said a word, and I began to wonder why; ever since I meant Touya, he seemed like such a talkative guy...

Then I felt a thump against my shoulder; fast asleep.

He looked so peaceful, just laying there. His breathing quiet and inaudible under the noises of the train. Naturally, this wasn't this most comfortable thing for me, seeing as I didn't have much movement, so I tried to manuver myself a little. While trying to do so without waking him, I managed to make Touya fall over, head on my lap.

iWonderful...this makes things a whole lot less akward./i

Well, at least like this, I was free to sit back. But that still didn't make me any more comfortable, especially with the stranger's head on my thighs. Although, he wasn't much of a stranger; at least not anymore. In the short day that we spent together, I had come to know him to the point where I felt almost safe with him, so much that I could already hear Bianca's voice ringing in my head, telling me that "Oh, wow! I totally like him"; words that I was dreading to hear.

A loud ring pierced through the silence of the train car. Touya shot up abruptly, startling the sanity out of me; that is, if there was any left in me after today. He starred dready eyed and dazed around the train. I was guessing that he hadn't realized he had been sleeping on me this whole time, but maybe that was for the best. My upper-legs were left with a very warm feeling, that was cooling down fast.

Touya adjusted his hat that had been left in disarray. He stood up, rubbing his eyes, and remarked while looking out the window.

"Seems like we've arrived."

And with those words, we stepped out together. The familier smell of metal cleaner rushed part me, telling me I was back in the world I once knew. I closed my eyes for a moment while taking a deep breath, and stretching like a Purrloin after a long nap.

But when I looked back at my side, Touya was stomping off up the stairs, away from me. And I swear I could see steam coming from his head.

I snickered at the thought.

The man in green was still standing by the entrance, waiting for more to people to arrive, no doubt. Which made me wonder how long his job went on for. Even at night, the Battle Subways were still open, so did that really mean that he stayed here all the time? I figured he would have someone to trade places with him, but things were proceeding well into the night, and yet he was still here. I found it very inhuman to make someone work so much; but then again, it didn't seem as though the job required much.

He waved when he saw me, but my mind was somewhere else at the moment, and I payed notice to him no longer. It seemed stranger to me that Touya had left without saying at least a word of goodbye. Although, he did seem genuinly upset earlier. I only hoped that this didn't have anything to do with me. I hated the thought of Touya being mad at me, so I pushed it away.

The building was so big, that trecking through it after all those battles made me feel like I could collapse once I had reached the outside. Darkness covered over Nimbasa, only to be hiden away by the numerous amount of lighting from the amusement park. It almost hurt to just look in that direction after sitting in that train car for half an hour.

I walked around the large city, but Touya was no where to be found. My guess was that he probably gone home, which left me with a feeling of loneliness to be here all by myself.

"Oh, wow! You totally like him!" Bianca's words rushed through me, almost making me choke on my slushie.

What a great way to start a morning.

It was a bright early morning two days later, and I hadn't heard from Touya at all. I even went back to the Battle Subways throughout the course of the couple days, but still no sign of him. So here I sat on this lonely, cold bench, just off the side of Accumula Town, with Bianca; but in all honesty, I think I would have prefered to be alone. Because let's put it this way, it was only eight-thirty a.m.; I could not be any less ready to deal with this.

"'.Him," were the only words I managed to get out.

"Oh really? Well you know what I think?"

Did I dare?

"What?" The word cam out more whiney then I would have liked.

"You think you have a little crush!" Her words got more high-pitched near the end of the sentence. "You should totally ask him out!"

I laughed at even the thought, "That's going to happen ireal/i soon."

"If you don't, then I will."

"No!" Somehow I managed to spit slushie bits in her face while releasing my slurred word.

Bianca whipped them away with my sweater. "First: Eww! Second: For someone who doesn't like him, you sure seem reluctant to have me go out with him," she taunted.

It wasn't that I liked him, but he had become my friend. And I was pretty sure I would feel akeward if either of us went out with any of our friends.

I sighed.

Alright, it was going to happen one way or another, I couldn't deny it any longer: I popped the top off my slushie, ready to pour it on her.
