Unexpected love

(With Ash and Brock)

"Nurse Joy" cried a young black haired boy with a Pikachu, as he banged his hands on the table "Did a girl, about my age with blue hair and a pinkish dress, come here?"

"Yes" she replied "she came passed through. She was travelling with a young man about your age. And she won the Pokemon contest with her newly caught Espeon"

'A boy my age…?' Ash wondered. He wanted to ask some more questions, but Nurse Joy was too occupied with Brock, who was on his knee proposing to her. On cue, Croagunk appeared and pulled him away. Ash sweatdropped, but used the opportunity to calm down.

It had been months since Dawn had disappeared, months of stopping of at, pretty much, every Pokemon centre to look for her. Ash loved dawn like a sister. And he hated the idea of her being on her own.

"Ash" Brock's voice broke through his thoughts and he noticed that he had somehow wheeled him outside the Pokemon centre. "Ash, she's not here. I told you if she's anywhere then she will probably travel along the route we planed on. And don't worry about the person she's travelling with, Dawns not stupid, she wouldn't choose to travel with someone that was bad. The best we can do is keep travelling and hope we find her" he said wisely.

Ash nodded "your right"


Two days later, and Dawn was still admiring her ribbon. It was 8:30pm, and Paul and Dawn both knew they were never going to make it to the Pokemon centre. So they had set up camp beside a lake.

As Paul stoked the fire, dawn leaned against a rock side, admiring the ribbon in the firelight.

"Take a picture and stick it to your forehead, it'll last longer" Paul joked. Dawn's glee in winning the contest was obvious. Dawn turned "don't joke…" she pouted "…about things like this". Paul turned his head and murmured a "humph."

"Anyway" she continued "I wonder what happened to Ren, I was sure she would come after the contest to yell at me for beating her in front of her Shin-kun" Dawn added empathise on the last to words and the effect was a shudder from Paul."Don't call me that" he said "Ever".

"You know what else" she continued, ignoring Paul's shudders. "You usually have such a sharp tong, but you didn't say anything back. Maybe you liked her" she said, again adding empathies on the last to words to taunt him.

"I didn't say anything, because she barely gave me the chance. Every time I'd open my mouth, she'd beat me to it and then disappear" he said making a face.

For some reason the inside of Dawns heart were doing little butterflies and it was getting harder and harder to hate them. She needed him to give her some reassurance "I don't get you, most boys would be thrilled to have so much attention from a girl. And Ren-san is Cute, bright, cheerful…"

"…Annoying, weird, obsessive, disturbing, oh and you forgot disturbing" Paul interrupted. "And in case you haven't noticed, Im not like other guys, so don't group me with them"

This wasn't working out the way she had expected; he wasn't supposed to say that! He was supposed to agree with her. Now her heart was speeding faster. Suddenly Dawn remembered something.

"You know what I noticed" she said innocently "you don't call me Troublesome anymore. You once didn't even know my name. Why?"

Paul stopped. And then looked up to her "because I don't think of you as troublesome anymore." Dawn's heart flipped. "To me" he continued "your just Dawn. Simple as that".

Dawn didn't know what to say, and before she could say anything Paul had come, and sat himself right beside her. "w-what, wait" she stuttered.

"The fire is closer to you" he said simply and leaned against the rock side.

Dawn's heart started thudding furiously. An image of the last time they kissed passed over her mind and her face suddenly broke out in a furious blush.

"I don't understand" she managed to get out "you don't see me as troublesome anymore?"

Paul looked uncomfortable, "don't make me say this" he murmured "you were Troublesome before, because I didn't understand you, I didn't know your name, because I didn't know you"

He scratched his head and looked out onto the lake "but now, after being practically forced into dealing with you every day" he smiled "you're not so bad."

Dawn's heart thudded even more as he continued. "That annoying smile became something that made me smile, the infuriating way you would needlessly care about your Pokemon; I started to respect you for it because you're brave enough to take the risk. And before I knew it, the feelings of disgust, became something else. I didn't understand them at first, but…" he paused, and turned to her "Dawn, I don't lie…ever, anything I say I believe in one hundred percent. And that kiss…was incredible, and I don't regret it. It helped me realize my feelings"

"A-and what were they" she managed to ask. But Paul only said "I've already told you before, I like you".

This was definitely not what Dawn had wanted, she had wanted him to say she was still troublesome, or at least something rude, not confess to her. And the worst thing was, Dawn heart felt like it was flying. No matter how hard she had tried not to, she was starting to feel the same way.

"Now it's my turn" Paul interrupted her thoughts "turn for what" she asked.

Paul raised an eyebrow "to ask you questions, and I have a few" she nodded "that seems fair" she said "Ok, shoot"

Paul looked her in the eye and said "why don't you trust anyone" that stopped her heart. Everything was so quiet; you could hear a leaf drop. "w-what" she stammered "what are you talking about" she smiled, trying to turn it into a joke "I-I trust people" she lied.

"Don't lie" she said sharply "you don't trust anyone. You don't trust me, you don't trust the people around you, and you don't even trust you friends. You didn't trust Nurse Joy, did you, that's why you stayed with Espeon the whole time" "don't be stupid" Dawn interrupted "I leave my Pokemon with Nurse Joy all the time. I like her"

"But not when it comes to things like before. You were scared so your natural instinct was to not trust her. And as for liking her, there's no doubt you like her…you just don't trust her. Just like you like your friends, but you don't really trust them and you don't trust me either."

Dawn wanted to object but then suddenly, Paul reached up and the tips of his fingers brushed against her cheek "No" he breathed "toward me, I think it's a little more then no-trust. Its like you're scared of me". "n-no that's not true" Dawn managed to get out. She would have said more, but at the moment she was having trouble breathing.

"I think… you're scared of me, because bit by bit, you're starting to trust me. And that terrifies you" he cupped he cheek, and dawn subconsciously felt herself lean into his palm. It was only then that she noticed how close they were.

"Im not scared of you" she whispered. Though she said that, on the inside she was scared. How in the world he had known all that was…unbelievable. But the second she looked him in the eyes she was lost.

Paul had beautiful eyes. He spent so much time glaring at everyone that no one would ever see. But now with him not scowling and her staring into them she could see that they were a deep ebony colour. She felt her self falling. Then he said one sentence, one sentence that made her lean forward and do what she obviously wanted to do "then prove it"


"Then prove it" he whispered, his breath mingling with her little breaths. And then he leaned forward and kissed her. And he was lost.

He was supposed to have just leaned forward a bit, to help her get the point. But one look in her big blue eyes, and a small glance at her lips had him remembering the kiss that shared before. And he, for some reason, he found himself unable to pull away.

Unlike the other times, Dawn this time just melted straight into their kiss. Paul's hand that was cupping her cheek went around her neck to pull her closer and his other hand once again snaked around to her back and pulled her up against his body. Dawn's fingers reacted by reaching up and running her fingers through his hair. Paul gasped, why did that movement always send shivers up his spine?

He pulled back to breath, but Dawn did the unexpected thing and just pulled him back to her mouth. That surprised him, but a few dazzling kisses made him forget. The way and how much she affected him was incredible. No one had ever made him feel like this and any other time, he would be disgusted with himself. But dawn was different.

He felt different when it was with her. He knew that she was meant for him, and even thought she kept denying it, she obviously knew it too. He ran his tong over her bottom lip and licked the corner of her mouth, earning a little tremble from Dawn. He pulled back and let his tong traced down side of her neckline.

She gasped and he used the opportunity to press his lips to her mouth again. He half expected her to shove him away, but instead she pushed her tong out to meet and intertwine with his.

Somehow, they managed to end up lying on top of each other with Dawn underneath and Paul gently probing her mouth and his thumb caressing her cheek. At that moment, he wanted her more then anything. He wanted this, to kiss her everyday freely. He wanted to pull away and see her dazed expression and her half-lidded eyes reflecting all the things that she didn't want to admit. He wanted to possess her and her to own him. He wanted her, full stop.

Dawn moaned under him, the sound set him on fire as he pressed her closer to him and gently bit the shoulder bone of her neck. Again, he expected her to push him away, but instead she only kissed and nibble on the top of his ear, her breath hot on his skin.

After the love-bite had been left he pulled and met the lips that were working on his ear. Everything was right, exactly right. Where they were, what they were doing, nothing about it was wrong.

Paul felt Dawns fingered in his hair, threading through the strands and stroking his head. Suddenly he wanted to run his fingered through her hair for once. And so he did. Dawn's hair was like silk and beautiful as it looked. He probed deeper; then he felt something on her scalp. He traced his finger along it, wondering what it was. Then he realized 'a scar?'

The second Dawn realized what he was doing, she suddenly opened her eyes and pushed him off her "NO!!" she screamed. Paul stared at her, her eyes were frightened and angry "What the heck were you doing you…you…" "Look Im sorr…" he tried to apologize, but stopped short at the next thing she said "pervert" she cried.

Dawn got up and Paul followed in suit, still staring at her unable to keep the shock of his face "what"

"You heard me" she screamed "what happened to, 'I won't kiss you unless its something you want" Paul didn't want to listen to her speaking stupidness. "I didn't see you exactly fight back or objecting" he snapped back spitefully. And then when he saw the look of utter despicability and guilt at her self he mentally kicked himself.

"Look…" he said trying to take her arm, but she slapped him away" Don't touch me" she screamed "I hate you". Dawn gasped and covered her mouth, but the words were already put. A look of hurt passed over his eyes, ant it stabbed her in the heart, especially when it was soon replaced with his scowl as he said coldly "you hate me, that's good, because it makes it so much easier to jilt you after kissing you. The truth was I never liked you; I was just using you, because it was fun to watch you squirm when I was around. I…hate you also"

Dawn didn't know what to say "I hate your bubbly personality and your wiers secrets. Your contests are stupid and useless, just like you. You should just get a life" and with that he walked away. But not before stopping for a second to say "if you still need to travel with me, be my gust. But don't expect to leave with me when we get to the next town"


Dawn walked behind him in silence, only the silence this time was different. How could she say that, it was so cruel, and she was never usually like that.

But she had been so surprised, and so scared that a kiss from Paul, could make her loose herself so much. She had forgotten everything, who she was, who he was, the only thing that was on her mind was their kiss, and how much she was loving it. But when he touched her scar, it had brought back such terrible memories that she had ended saying those things as an instinct defence.

But she hadn't meant any of it, especially the part about her hating him. It was quite the opposite actually. She was starting to believe that she maybe falling in love with him back. That is if he even liked her after what had happened. Dawn's heart dropped, according to what he said, never liked her. So she may have be falling in love with someone who hated her.

But she had fallen in love with the boy she had gotten to know over the past few months, the boy who was only pretending. And now she had seen his true colours. But then, what was that hurt expression that time, the Paul she knew now, would never show someone such an expression. It was all so confusing and giving Dawn a headache.

She looked up. Paul was waling briskly, never looking back once when, before, even when they were first staring out, he would always look back to see if she was still there, not even trying to hide it.

Dawn smiled, Paul had always been simple like that, in a good way. If something was bothering him, he would deal with it. If he felt like saying something, he would say it. And if he said he hated her, then it meant he hated her. And nothing broke her heart more.
