Chapter 6: Ruby's Rebellion
~*Sapphire's P. O. V.*~
When I woke up the next day, I was surprisingly...warm. I turned my head, and saw Ruby next to me. Then, I remembered everything that had happened the other day. "Morning, Ruby." I said, giggling. "Oh, morning Sapphire." He said, smiling. His eyes were warm and kind. I blushed. "We're only two days from Johto, you know?" I nodded. "I wonder what all we'll see there. After all, it is a whole new region." I nodded in agreement. I was excited to see all the sites there. I wondered what it would be like, what the people there would be like, all the different Pokémon we would be able to see and capture. The very thought excited me. "Sapphire, l-last night, y-you said you love me. D-Did you really mean it?" Ruby asked. I blushed, remembering the incident. "I-I think so." Ruby still looked serious. He came closer to me, and I blushed. "Sapphire, are you saying this for my sake, or do you really mean it? If you don't mean it, just say so. I'd rather be hurt by the bitter truth than a lie." I nodded. "I-I'm not sure yet." He smiled at me. "That's what I thought." The truth was that I loved Ruby, in every way shape and form that a person can love another person. I smiled back. I remembered all the times when I was lonely or sad or afraid, Ruby was there for me. He was always willing to listen, and he always made me feel better. I've never really been in love before, but I think that's what being in love is. When simply seeing their face just makes you smile. "S-Sapph? Y-You remember that one day, w-when you kissed me right?" I nodded. "Well, I-I wanna try something." I blushed. Ruby brought his face closer to mine, and within seconds, his lips met mine. It was soft and sweet, and I could tell Ruby was trying his damndest to keep it innocent. I smiled. I never thought I'd enjoy kissing as much as I do. I thought as Ruby pulled away. "Wow..." I said dreamily. "D-Did you enjoy that as much as I did?" Ruby asked. I nodded. Then, the air was filled with an awkward silence. Neither of us knew what to say. I walked up to the deck, Ruby following. "The ocean's pretty, isn't it?" Ruby said. "Yeah, I-I guess it is kinda pretty." I agreed. "And the different creatures that live in it make it even more beautiful and interesting." Ruby's enthusiasm was clear in the way he spoke with such reverence about the Pokémon that lived in the ocean. "You really like the ocean, don't you, Ruby?" I asked. "No, I don't like it that much. I guess I'm just drawn to beautiful things." I blushed. "Was that an attempt at a pick-up line, Ruby?" Ruby's confident demeanor faded, and he nodded, his cheeks flushed. I giggled, and ruffled his hair. "You're cute, Ruby." He blushed even deeper. I laughed. When the sky got dark, I decided to head back to my room. But I found that sleeping was in vain. All I could think about was Ruby.
