Chapter Three: OH MY GOSH
"So, do you feel any better? " Drew asked quietly.
"Yes. A little..." May replied staidly and she shyly averted her eyes downwards at her lap.
"That's good at least..." Drew said softly with a grin and he continued casually, "So, should we go check out the Pokemon Center again? Wait, nah. I should probably go alone since it's too dangerous for you."
Drew smirked once he finished his last sentence.
" Yeah... I don't want to get hurt again..." May mumbled sheepishly as she still remained looking down at her lap and she then looked back up to see Drew smirking at her and she flinched.
"W-What?! WAIT! Are you trying to say that I can't handle myself?!" May demanded angrily as she felt herself slightly blushing and she clenched her fists.
"I didn't say anything..." Drew retorted playfully and his emerald eyes were dancing of amusement.
"But you implied it, you butt!" May accused childishly and she pointed a finger at him.
He chuckled and flipped his hair. "Not necessarily, May. I'm just looking out for you."
"Sure you are..." the brunette muttered sarcastically while she squinted her eyes in annoyance and she crossed her arms.
"No. Really I am..." Drew stated, actually sounding serious this time, and they locked eyes.
May was speechless as she felt herself blushing and had this cute but innocent look on her face.
Drew sighed.
"Alright. I'm going to leave now but I'll be back soon," he advised her casually and then told her with a smirk, "Don't do anything stupid, okay?"
May growled and pouted childishly. "Grr! Shut up, you meanie! I'm coming with too!"
"No you're not. I can't risk you getting hurt again," Drew told her sternly and he gave her one last fond look before exiting out the door.
Dumbstruck, her mouth hung open breathlessly, and she felt her cheeks flush of red.
May then promptly shook her head at remembering his previous teasing and she growled.
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! DREW I'LL SHOW YOU!" May declared out loud by accident as her eyes were on fire and she then squealed in embarrassment once realizing her sudden outburst.
She took a deep breath, exhaled, and finally calmed down..
'Why am I acting so mad? Maybe it's the black aura...or maybe it's just because of Drew...' May thought annoyed and she sighed.
•*•*•With Drewy•*•*•
Drew was nonchalantly walking through the forest near the Pokemon Center and his hands were firmly tucked into his pockets.
He then heard an abrupt noise from afar; however, he just shrugged it off, and proceeded forward.
'It's probably just a Pokemon...' Drew assured himself.
Rustling in the bushes was suddenly heard and he quicken his pace.
'Ugh. I hope it's not another fangirl again. I'm getting fed up with their stalking...' Drew thought irritated and he groaned silently.
A silhouette promptly emerged from the bushes and Drew stopped in his tracks.
The silhouette was giggling and it was...Harley .
Drew groaned. "What do you want?"
"So we meet again..." Harley whispered giggling and he smirked.
"Just go away..." Drew mumbled bitterly, already starting to get a migraine from this guy, and he sighed.
"I was following you because I wanted to see where you were going Drewy!" Harley revealed in a bubbly tone and he was vigorously jumping up and down while flapping his arms as if he were a butterfly.
"...I'm out of here..." Drew muttered quietly as he tried to contain his anger and he started to proceed forward.
"Wait! Don't leave me, Drewy!" Harley shouted dramatically and he stormed up to Drewy...I mean Drew.
Drew looked back at Harley as he felt a vein pop and he yelled in frustration, "Quit calling me that and quit stalking me, you creep!"
"But Drewy!" Harley cried and he began to whimper like a lost puppy as Drew proceeded forward once again.
Suddenly, Harley stormed up to Drew, and hugged him from behind.
"GET OFF!" Drew exploded viciously as he swiftly turned around and he punched Harley in the gut.
Harley plummeted to the ground and the purple-haired coordinator surprisingly felt pain in his abdomen this time.
" Ughh...and I try to be nice..." Harley grumbled in pain and Drew finally walked away from him.
'WELL...THE ACT IS OVER! NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY, DREWY!' Harley thought mischievously and he giggled uncontrollably.
•*•*•With Drewy•*•*•
The Pokemon Center was now in sight and the green-haired coordinator saw Nurse Joy standing outside the center.
He walked up to her and asked, "Is it alright to come back in...?".
"Oh! Yes! The aura has left according to the scientists I spoke to just now. Well, for now it's gone but we'll be open again at around eight tonight! Come back by then!" Nurse Joy informed cheerfully and she flashed him a heart-warming smile.
Drew flipped his hair. "Alright. I will, thanks."
•*•*•Several minutes later•*•*•
Drew returned to the clinic and went into May's room.
May was leaning by the window and she was watching the sunset in awe.
"I'm back," Drew announced smirking.
May then turned around to face him and she smiled.
" Oh! You're finally here!" she exclaimed excitedly but then asked reluctantly, "Wait... So, can we go back to the center?"
" Yep," Drew replied still smirking and he flipped his hair once again.
May jumped for joy. "Yay! Wait, what time are we going back?"
"At eight tonight," he responded casually.
She felt her heart sunk. " Oh..."
"Hey...are you hungry...?" Drew asked apprehensively.
" OH MY GOSH! YES!" May squealed enthusiastically and she jumped for joy once again.
Drew smirked. "Let's get going then."
" OKAY!" May shouted excitedly.
The brunette was SO happy that she held Drew's hand and dragged him out of the building to try to find a place to eat.
A few minutes passed and they were roaming all over the place while still holding hands.
Drew was blushing slightly.
" Um...May..." Drew started quietly and he looked away from her so she couldn't see that he was blushing.
" Yeah?" May asked casually, totally oblivious that she was holding his hand, and she flashed him a heart-warming smile.
" Well...you've been holding my hand the entire time..." Drew explained blushing and he tried his best to sound casual.
May looked down at their hands as she instantly blushed and she quickly pulled her hand away.
"I-I'm s-so s-sorry..." May apologized timidly and she felt utterly mortified.
"It's okay, really. I understand. After all, no girl can resist me," Drew retorted cockily while closing his eyes and he smirked at her playfully.
"Yeah in your DREAMS!" May hollered defensively as she clenched her fists and she was blushing slightly.
"Whatever..." Drew muttered flipping his hair.
May's eyes grew wide and she thought, 'Wow, he flips his hair A LOT!'
"Come on, let's walk faster," Drew urged staidly and he quickened his pace.
May nodded. "Alright."
As they were walking, May was intently looking downwards at the ground, and she was pondering about what had occurred moments ago. 'Oh you're such an idiot May...holding your rival's hand like that and for such a long time without even realizing it. GOSH! I'm such a ditz sometimes, how embarrassing! At least Drew's reaction wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But oh my gosh that that was SO scary! I can't believe I held his hand! At least Harley didn't see us but...KYAAAAA! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!'
May felt herself blushing at her thoughts and she frowned.
"Here we are," Drew announced cooly while flipping his hair, instantly breaking May out of her thoughts, and the two came to a halt.
"The Olivine cafe?!" May exclaimed dumbfounded and she blinked her eyes repeatedly.
Yep, our favorite coordinators were currently in Olivine City this entire time.
Drew smirked and closed his eyes. "Mhm."
"This place is so expensive though and I have no money..." May said sadly and she frowned.
"Relax, I'll pay for you but you owe me," Drew told her smirking, his voice so cocky that it could be nauseating, and he chuckled.
May wanted to protest but she didn't since she already felt so guilty.
" ...Fine..." May huffed and she crossed her arms.
The coordinators entered as Drew then chatted with the host, stating he had reservations which left May quite bewildered, and the host guided them to the fanciest looking table in the restaurant.
May gasped silently as she saw the table and she couldn't believe it.
They seated themselves at the opposite ends of the table.
Drew sat on the left side of the table and May sat on the right side of the table.
The waiter handed them their menus and left.
May flashed him a shy smile. "Thanks for taking me here, Drew."
He aloofly flipped his hair like always. "It's no big deal. Don't worry about it."
May squinted her eyes in annoyance and thought, 'His hair flippy thing is getting really annoying...'
"So, when did you make reservations for us, Drew?" May asked puzzled.
Drew blushed, but it was microscopic, and he flipped his hair AGAIN. "May, don't worry your pretty little head."
May growled and almost slammed her fists on the table. "What?!"
"So what are you going to order?" Drew asked smirking.
"Uhhhh..." May mumbled stupidly and she looked down at her menu.
"Anytime now..." Drew teased playfully and chuckled.
"Shut up, Drew! I bet you haven't decided either!" May countered angrily and her hands were tightly clutching onto her menu.
"Oh but I did," Drew retorted smoothly, his voice insanely alluring, and he chuckled while closing his eyes.
"Then what did you order Smarty-Pants?!" May demanded eagerly and was rather annoyed.
He winked at her. "That's a secret."
May instantly flinched and she then felt her blood boil. "W-What!? That's totally an excuse, Drew! You totally don't know either!"
"Oh really?" Drew said playfully as he raised an eyebrow and his eyes were dancing of amusement.
"Yes really!" May huffed childishly and she glared at him while she felt herself slightly blushing.
"Heh. Well, believe what you want," Drew told her chuckling.
May groaned and rolled her eyes.
"So, what do you want to order...Princess?" Drew questioned playfully and he smirked.
May instantly blushed at the new nickname he gave her and she suppressed a gasp.
"W-What did you call m-me!?" May fumed flustered and the blood wouldn't stop rushing to her cheeks.
Drew chuckled and his emerald eyes were taunting her. "You heard me."
May growled and she blushed harder. "You jerk!"
"May, quit yapping your mouth like a airhead, and just decide on something already," Drew told her in a cocky tone and he chuckled once more.
May's jaw dropped in utter shock as she clenched her fists tightly and she twitched in anger. "Y-You're the one making me talk so much though, Drew!"
"Yes but it's your decision whether or not to respond back. So, you're the one at fault here," Drew countered smoothly with a smirk and he ran his fingers through his luscious green hair.
"But I just can't ignore you in here!" May bellowed in frustration.
"Oh, so what you're saying is that you can't ignore me even if you tried?" Drew questioned teasingly and his smirk grew.
She flinched and her entire face was glowing of crimson-red. "T-That's not what I meant! It would just be awkward if I ignored you in a place like this and it would be pretty rude to ignore you since you're paying for me, Drew!"
"Awe, how cute. For once you make a good point," Drew teased playfully and he chuckled.
"S-Shut up, Drew!" she hissed at him as she felt herself blush harder and she growled.
"May, will you please just decide already?" Drew asked cockily and he yawned.
May huffed and looked down at her menu once again.
She debated for a few minutes on what she wanted and nervousness consumed her.
"Um... Um.. I...I want ramen!" May declared cheerfully and she giggled.
"Come on, May. You can easily get ramen anywhere else. Pick something else," Drew insisted smugly.
May glared at him and her sapphire eyes were like daggers. "I. WANT. RAMEN!"
Drew chuckled. "Alright, alright... Calm down."
Their waiter then advanced towards them.
"All right, how may I help you lovers tonight?" the waiter asked smoothly in a French accent.
May blushed slightly and started to nervously play with her fingers.
" W-Were not a couple..." May clarified bashfully.
"Were friends," Drew added smoothly.
"Alright. Sorry about my tiny assumption. Now... Sir, what would you like to order?" the waiter asked Drew formally.
"I'll have the meatloaf, please," Drew answered politely; however, he smirked, and flipped his hair.
May twitched in shock and she thought, 'Meatloaf?! MEATLOAF?! That's what he ordered?! That's his BIG secret?!'
" Okay..." the waiter mumbled as he wrote down Drew's order and he then turned to May. "And you, miss...?"
"Just some ramen, please..." May said politely but shyly.
"Very well... Anything to drink? " the waiter asked formally.
"Some water would be good," Drew answered casually.
" Yeah, water for me too please!" May said excitedly.
"Alright. Your food shall be arriving shortly," the waiter informed them as he took their menus and walked away from them.
"So... You ordered meatloaf?" May asked slightly baffled.
Drew ran his fingers through his hair and he smirked."Yeah and what's it to you?"
"You can easily get meatloaf anywhere!" May exclaimed angrily.
"Correct, but it's not about quantity, it's about quality," Drew retorted cleverly and he chuckled.
May growled and she felt her cheeks flush of rosy-red. "Shut up!"
Minutes passed and the two rivals were starting to have an actual conversation with each other that was casual and they only bickered a little bit.
Drew actually was being rather kind to the brunette and was even being quite humorous towards her. He made her laugh a lot and May thought she hasn't laughed this hard in a long time. She felt SO happy.
•*•*•Hours Later•*•*•
Vast pools of darkness had consumed the sky and it was now almost eight o'clock.
The two coordinators have just been sitting at their table chatting nonstop for hours. None of the employees even bothered to kick them out.
"I think we should get going..." Drew suggested sternly.
"Okay..." May mumbled in a daze and she was smiling dreamily at him.
Drew put the money on the table and exited out of the building.
The two were now walking through a park and the street lamps illuminated the park.
"That was so much fun!" May exclaimed happily and Drew aloofly adjusted his hands into his pockets.
" Yeah it was. Surprisingly you actually managed to keep me awake," Drew retorted cleverly while smirking and he chuckled.
" YOU KNOW WHAT DREW-" May attempted to roar; however, he interrupted her by gently putting a finger to her lips.
May immediately blushed at the sudden physical contact and she blinked her eyes repeatedly in confusion.
"We should go to the Pokemon Center now..." Drew suggested sternly but somewhat playfully and he took his finger off of her lips.
"Yeah..." May mumbled in a daze and the redness in her cheeks refused to vanish.
Five minutes later, they finally made their way into the Pokemon Center, and the walked up to the front counter.
"We should both get separate rooms... " Drew proposed staidly.
"Okay..." May mumbled sadly; however, she tried to hide the sadness in her voice.
'This is weird but I actually don't want to leave Drew... I also don't want to be alone because what if the aura comes back and tries to harm me? I think the aura might be Pokemon or something...' May thought intently while frowning.
Nurse Joy then emerged out of a room and jollily walked towards the counter. "Hi! How can I help you two?"
"Can we get separate rooms please?" Drew requested politely.
" I'm sorry but...all of our rooms are currently booked..." Nurse Joy advised them while frowning.
" Oh..." Drew mumbled in disappointment.
" Oh...wait! There was a young man who checked in a room with three beds and he was all alone, so I guess he won't mind if you stay there with him!" Nurse Joy informed happily.
" Okay!" May and Drew exclaimed in unison.
"Let me call him to make sure if it's all right," Nurse Joy told them and the two coordinators nodded.
The nurse dialed the number and chatted with the young man for a minute.
"He said it was all right," Nurse Joy confirmed with a grin.
Drew and May simultaneously smiled and Nurse Joy gave them the key .
•*•*•Five minutes later•*•*•
The two rivals were roaming the hallways in search of their room.
" I wonder who the guy is?" May wondered out loud while walking.
" I don't know..." Drew muttered quietly.
Suddenly, Drew had spotted their room, and he smirked as they both advanced towards it.
Drew opened the door with his key and their eyes widened in utter horror at seeing who was in the room and both of their jaws dropped.
It was Harley.
"Oh hi guys!" Harley greeted in his usual bubbly voice and he giggled.
Drew twitched and tried to contain his anger from within. 'Oh god no. Please no... Someone kill me...'
" Oh so we meet again Drewy!" Harley exclaimed giggling and he began to dance around the room.
"Harley...? " May said under her breath in terror, her eyes enormously wide, and she began to sulk.
' I rather jump off a cliff then spend a night with this guy...' Drew thought bitterly.
"Oh my GOSH! We are going to have SO much FUN tonight you guys! We're gonna paint our nails and do our hair! Or maybe dye Drew's hair or is it already dyed?! Teehee! We are going to exchange secrets , we're going play truth or dare, and SO much more!" Harley excitedly ranted on and on like a chatter box, almost sounding like a girl, and he clasped his hands together with May's.
May and Drew's sweat dropped.
" Well...I don't know about that..." May mumbled, a tad bit freaked out, and her eyes remained wide.
"Umm yeah... I'm not doing any of that..." Drew muttered awkwardly and annoyance was lurking in his voice.
"Oh come on, Drewy! It will be REAL FUN! HEEHEE!" Harley assured loudly and he flashed Drew a playful wink.
"Um...I don't know about that either..." May mumbled frightened and she tried to break Harley's grip on her; however, it was futile.
Drew and May both sighed .
'This is going to be one heck of a night...' May and Drew both thought sulking.
