A Secret I'd Never Tell : Hmm? What?

After that…what did happen after that? It's been around a month or so…oh right…I went to find the Silph Scope, traveled to Celadon City, won the Rainbow badge, looked behind the poster at the Game Corner, discovered Team Rocket's hideout, single-handedly seized their it, obtained the Silph Scope, trekked up the Pokemon Tower, defeated Marowak, saved Mr. Fuji, received the Pokeflute and caught a Snorelax. I spent a large amount of time just training and leveling up my Pokemon too but…why? For what reason am I doing this? Because it's only natural that I'm expected to do this as a Pokemon trainer? Or is it for Green? I even went so far as to try to seize Silph Co over Team Rocket just because I wanted someone to pitch my Pokemon against. I'm about to make my way to their leader until the unexpected happened.

"What kept you, Leaf?" A familiar face that (I didn't wanted to see) questions. "Hahaha! I thought you'd turn up if I waited here."

"Green?" I exclaim in shock.

"I guess Team Rocket slowed you down! Not that I care!" He smirks cheerily. "I saw you in Saffron, so I decided to see if you got better!"

'Not that I care' he says. I'm guessing he just wants to battle me now, huh? I know I shouldn't be expecting anything else…when he said he'd thought I'd turn up if he waited here...that made me a little happy. What for? I said was going to hold back these feelings but…if he appears in front of me like that then…I won't know what to do. Reluctantly I pulled out my Pokeball and sent out my Charizard but in doing so I put up a fake competitive smile. It's want he'd want to see I suppose.

"Alright! Bring it on!" I shout eagerly….or so it seems.

[Leaf wins battle – Like I need to tell you the results anyway]

"Oh, man! So, you are ready for Boss Rocket!" Green does his signature hair flick. "Well, Leaf! I'll be moving on up and ahead!"

"You're leaving already?" I mumbled inaudibly.

"By checking my Pokedex, I'm starting to see what's strong and how they evolve!" He nonchalantly grins. "Am I a genius or what?"

Hmph conceited as always but somehow it seems so lovable now. I also never noticed how straight his teeth were and white too…it makes his smile look really striking. "Haha it's kind of cute and amusing when you say things like that" was what I wanted to say but how can I possibly say that now? Hmm…how did I use to answer to his arrogance again? Something like 'you wish' or 'in your dreams' maybe?

"Haha…in your dreams, Green." I comment awkwardly. Well that didn't come out as I expected. "What can you even do?"

"I'm going to the Pokemon League to boot out the Elite Four." His eyes lit up with ambition and cockiness. "I'll become the world's most powerful Trainer."

"Oh Green, Green. The world's most powerful? Heh, why don't you try something easier? Like sprouting wings or find out why finding out why Sabrina's character design changed so drastically?" I mock in an almost annoying voice. Hmm…I don't recall being this asshole-y before.

"Leaf, well, good luck to you! Don't sweat it! Smell ya!" Green ignores my sarcastic comments and then walks pass me to leave. Not again… I don't want him to leave just yet.

"W-wait, Green!" I call out to him. He turns around. Crap. Why did I do that? Out of habit? Darn! What do I say now? "U-um…well can you just wait outside for me? We…haven't seen each other in a while so…"

"Hmm? Are you trying to tell me something?" Green indifferently glanced at me. "If it's nothing important I'm leaving."

"G-green I said hold it!" I ran up from behind him before he could jump into the teleporter and hug him from behind.

"W-whoa! Don't touch me! How many times do I have to tell you?" Green stumbles backwards and tumbles on top of me.

…..awkward position (you know you love it)

"U-um…" I stare at the face that was just centimeters from me. I could feel all the blood in my body rush up to my cheeks, it was like they were on fire. My body felt hot…too hot. I could hardly breathe. His face was just so close that if I accidentally life my head up our lips would touch! How can I stay calm in a situation like this?

"U-ugh…" Green didn't move. He was immobilized. I could see his cheeks gradually developing into a deep shade of red. He must be embarrassed too. His face was starting to sweat a little. I can feel his slow, heavy breathing; it was so intense that I felt it on the nape of my neck.

"G-green?" I asked quietly. I shifted my eyes to the right away from his face in embarrassment.

"Y-yeah?" He answers nervously.

"U-um…would you mind…getting off me?" I ask with my face flushing even more at the request. We had only been in this position for maybe 5 seconds but it felt more like 5 hours. I don't think my heart can take anymore of this.

"W-WHOA! S-SORRY!" He quickly leaps off of me.

"I-it's okay…" I mumble shyly. We sat there in silence for what seemed like eternity.

"U-um! What you were saying before! I-I'll wait!" Green shouts. He must be raising his voice out of nervousness.

"R-really?" I could feel a smile forming on my blushing red face.

"Y-yeah…it's no problem." He turns away from me. Geez…sometimes I really don't know what he's thinking. Does he have some sort of split personality? Hmm…but still.

"I'm kind of…really happy to hear you say that-Ah!" I cover my mouth in shock. Did I really just say that?

"N-no…I'm kind of…really happy you asked me-Argh!" Green successively does the same thing.

"Fufuffu…" I giggled. "Weirdo."

"Why are you acting all feminine all of a sudden?" Green gives me a devious look. "Did you fall for in love or something?"

"Y-yeah…" I smile genuinely at him.

"...Cu-cute." Green mumbles.

"Hmm? Did you say something?" I ask curiously because I couldn't really make out what he said. "Did you say I was 'cute' or something?"

"I-idiot! There's no way! Don't get so conceited!" He angrily yells.

"Pufu." I chuckled.

"W-what?" Green retorts.

"No…it's just that hehe. You're face doesn't match up with what you're saying." I laugh. "It's all red."

"Who's red?" He grinds his teeth and pulls my hat over my eyes forcefully. By the time I lift it up he was already about to step on the transporter. "Don't be late…I'll be waiting."

"Kay~" I answer happily. It's fine if I don't know what he's thinking as long as we can be like this. "I look forward to out time together~"

"I-idiot! You talk too loud." He stutters as he leaves.
