Chapter 5- Enter fanboy and jealous Drew

May's POV

I slowly woke up. I had a really good dream. I looked around and noticed I was no longer riding Flygon. Drew must have moved me. My pillow moved. That wasn't a pillow. I looked to the left. I realised that I had somehow fallen asleep on Drew's shoulder. His head was resting on top of mine. I was sitting almost upright and Drew was sitting on the chair. I blushed, really glad that no one had seen. I felt Drew stir and he lifted his head up.

"I can't believe I fell asleep like this again," he mumbled.

"Again?" I questioned, lifting my head off his shoulder.

"May you're awake!" he exclaimed.

"What do you mean again?" I asked.

"This has happened before," he explained, "After the incident with Flygon, you went to sleep. I guess I fell asleep too because when I woke up, the other guys were looking at us because you were using my arm as a pillow and I was using your pillow. They thought it was adorable." He blushed.

"Well, just now, you were using my head as a pillow and I was sleeping on your shoulder," I giggled, "at least the others aren't here this time." He nodded and got up, stretching at the same time.

"I think we should get ready for the contest," he suggested, walking to the door, "I'll find us some breakfast too." I nodded to him and he shut the door. I quickly locked myself in the bathroom.

I watched as Drew was preparing my breakfast. He turned to me, his damp hair falling over his eyes. He flicked it out of the way and handed me a plate with toast. I looked down at the toast and smiled. He had decorated it to look like me. It had banana slices for eyes with blueberry pupils, strawberry lips and chocolate hair. Drew's was similar except his had grape pupils and lime marmalade hair.

"Getting a bit artistic are we?" I teased.

"Just a bit of fun," he shrugged.

"Only I don't really like blueberries," I told him. He shrugged again and picked them off my plate, putting them in his mouth.

"Fine with me," he grinned.

"Hey!" I exclaimed. I reached over and stole his grapes and the bananas.

"Ok, that's unfair," he growled. Soon it became a fight to keep our food and steal the other's, but it ended with me eating his original one, and him eating my original one.

"That was pointless," I laughed, rolling back after I'd finished, "we could have just swapped."

"Now where's the fun in that?"

"You have a point."

"I know," he winked, "we should go squeeze in some practise before the competition. We haven't done that for a while."

"Maybe that's why we didn't win the last one," I said.

"Ah, she isn't so oblivious," he teased.

"I'm not oblivious!" I yelled.

"Chill May, that's what I just said."

"Sorry," I apologized, grinning as I checked myself. He dumped the plates on the kitchen sink.

"Let's go," he said.

"What about when Ash and stuff get here?" I asked, "They won't know where we are."

"Fine, I'll write them a note," he sighed. He scribbled on a piece of paper and left it on the bed. I nodded and we headed out.

Drew's POV

We were training in the hall. I noticed a boy was running backwards towards us, chasing after a frisbee.

"May watch out!" I called. The boy collided into May and she fell over.

"Oh I'm so sorry," he hurried to apologise as he got up. I ran over and took May's hands, pulling her back to her feet. The boy had short red hair and blue eyes.

"That's ok," she replied, dusting herself off. His eyes widened when she looked at him.

"Oh wow! You're May Maple!" he exclaimed.

"Huh? How do you know who I am?" she asked.

"Your picture was on the cover of an article a couple of weeks back with…um him!" he pointed to me.

"What?" I questioned.

"Yeah, just stuff about how well you guys are doing," he shrugged, turning to May, "I admire you so much May. You're my role model. It's why I started contests. This is my first year." I bristled.

"Really?" she grinned, "how old are you?"

"I'm 14," he answered, "I wish I was as good as you. I recon you're the best coordinator out there."

"Well, thanks um…" she trailed off.

"Craig," he filled in, "Craig Daniels." He stuck out his hand and May took it. I scowled.

"Drew, you're so lucky she's your girlfriend," he continued, "May is like my biggest celebrity crush." May backed away behind me a bit, obviously freaked out a little. I instinctively stepped in front of her. Call me jealous if you want, but mostly it was because I saw the way May was looking…Mostly.

"She's not my girlfriend," I informed him. His eyes lit up, before it was gone again.

"Well, I suspect she will be soon based on your relationship with her."

"Yeah, just keep thinking that," I said, "It's not gonna happen."

"But I watch you guys on TV all the time," he continued, "I've seen the way you look at each other. You even give her those pretty red roses."

"You must be seeing things," I said, crossing my arms, "haven't you noticed we're rivals."

"And those red roses mean congratulations," May added, "Drew told me."

"No they don't. Everyone knows that red roses mean-"

"Red roses do mean congratulations," I cut him off before he could give anything away, "I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing since I'm the one giving them. Anyway, we still need to practice, so if you don't mind." I handed him his frisbee to demonstrate the point. He nodded before quickly running off again.

"That was really rude Drew," she exclaimed.

"He was getting on my nerves," I shrugged, lying, "I can't stand his voice."

"You could have been a little nicer," she mumbled.

"Me? Nice? May where have you been?" I asked, feigning shock.

"Stop it," she grinned, hitting my shoulder.

"So how do you feel about your first fan boy crushing on you?" I asked her.

"Actually, it was kind of creepy," she admitted, "I'm almost glad for once that someone thinks we'll be together." I chuckled.

We passed the preliminaries with no problems due to our practise session. It was Craig's turn. May and I were watching in the open space. His partner had an Electrode while he had taken out a Seviper. They'd worked through their routine without too much of a slip up until the end.

"Electrode, duplicate!" yelled the guy he was with.

"What?" I exclaimed. May looked at me confused.

"That move shouldn't be able to be done by that Pokémon," I explained quietly in her ear.

"Seviper, finish off with Iron Tail!" Craig commanded. The Pokémon charged and then released, sending the Electrodes exploding off above the crowd. The last one was sent out of control, heading to May.

"May!" I yelled, diving and knocking her down just as it exploded above us.

"That's the second time I've been knocked down today," she groaned, "but this time I'm glad. Thanks."

"Trouble just looks for you, doesn't it?" I growled.

"I'm starting to think so," she moaned. Anger coursed through me as I heard the contest going on as usual. I got up and again pulled her to her feet.

"Whoa!" she exclaimed, stumbling into me. I guess I tugged on her hand a little too hard.

"So nothing going on huh?" teased Craig. My blood boiled.

"Well excuse me for catching her when she tumbled," I replied sarcastically, "I guess I should have let her fall to the ground again." I let her go, but I stood slightly ahead of her. Ignoring me, he turned to May again.

"I'm really sorry about that," he apologised, "I'm afraid Seviper hasn't quite gotten his aim right yet. I knew it was a risky move using it in my routine."

"Risky? Ha! You could have just seriously injured or even killed May, or someone else and you say it was risky?" I yelled. May gently rested her hand on my arm and tugged me back a bit. I hadn't even realized I'd been moving forwards.

"Look, it's ok," May said, "Drew's just a bit riled up because we barely escaped death the other day." Riled up? I was furious, ready to rip that guy's head off for being so careless. I settled a bit at the soft glance she gave me, feeling my heart flutter. I crossed my arms.

"Oh really? What happened?" he asked. I glared.

"I'd rather not say, it's a sensitive topic for both Drew and myself," she sighed.

"I'm really sorry Drew," he whimpered, "I guess you really care for May huh? Sorry." I nodded my head slightly, to acknowledge him and he soon ran off again. I glared at his retreating form.

"Settle down Drew," May whispered in a soothing tone, "he didn't mean to. It was an accident. C'mon, let's get ready for our match."

The four of us, being Harley, Solidad, May and I, had agreed to a restaurant together to celebrate. We had come a draw in the last round so we had all been given ribbons. May and I now had three while Solidad and Harley were just behind us on two.

"We have to dress up a bit," said Solidad, "We're going a bit fancy tonight."

"Of course we are," I groaned. Solidad ignored me.

"May, you have to let me help you get ready," Solidad insisted.

"Really? Thanks. I wouldn't know what I should wear," May replied. May was pushed into her room by an eager Solidad. Soon after, three annoyed boys were pushed out.

"Hey what's the big idea?" yelled Max.

"Sorry, girl getting ready time," giggled Solidad, locking the door behind her, "give us and hour you boys and we'll be ready. How about you spruce yourselves up."

"Great," I groaned. An hour? Really? Giggling sounded from behind the door.

"What's going on?" Brock asked me as Harley walked into his room, presumably to get ready.

"Solidad's decided that we need to go to a fancy restaurant to celebrate all of us getting a ribbon today," I mumbled.

"Aww, double date time!" exclaimed Ash.

"How many times do I have to remind you, May and I are not dating," I sighed, though I knew it wouldn't work. This whole restaurant set up seemed more like a date than ever. I had to wonder if Solidad did this on purpose.

An hour later, Harley and I were both awkwardly standing outside of May's room. We'd both put on a neat pair of jeans, a clean shirt and jacket similar to a suits, but more comfortable. I knocked on the door again.

"Just wait guys!" yelled Solidad, "I'm putting some finishing touches on May's outfit. She'll be totally gorgeous." The door opened and Solidad slipped out. She looked really nice, wearing a light yellow dress that was full length with one shoulder strap. Fake diamond style beads were sown onto a sash that was tied loosely around her waist. She had straightened her hair and applied make up to her face.

"You look nice," I complimented the older girl.

"Thanks, you're looking not so bad yourself," she giggled, "but wait until you see my masterpiece." Harley hadn't said anything. I fiddled with the red rose in my fingers.

"I was going to give May this rose," Harley was saying to Solidad, "but I think Drew's wouldn't be as special then, besides, it looks nice on you." Harley tucked the rose gently under her sash. It was another peach coloured one. I nervously bounced from one foot to the other.

"You'd better let May out," chuckled Brock, coming behind us, "Drew looks like he's going to burst." The three other boys were waiting with us, so they could go into May's room again to sleep, eat or something.

"Alright May, you can come out now," Solidad giggled, when I glared.

"Do I have to?" came the mumbled reply, "I'm not so sure about this anymore."

"Nonsense, you look gorgeous, now come out before Drew goes insane waiting," she commanded. The door slowly creaked open and May timidly stepped out into the hallway. My breath caught in my throat. May was wearing a long gown that was cut lower at the back and higher at the front at the bottom. The straps gracefully stretched across her shoulders. The bodice was covered in silver sequins while the skirt flowed past her hips in soft, silvery, silky layers. She wore slight silver high heels. Her hair had been expertly curled, framing her face. She had a touch of mascara, defining her long lashes even more than usual. Her eyelids were covered in silver eye shadow, making them sparkle when she blinked. There wasn't any more make up on her face, the rest being her natural colour. I blinked and remembered that I needed to breathe.

"Who is this and where did my sister go?" asked Max teasingly, earning a glare from her.

"Wow May, you look amazing," both Ash and Brock said at the same time. Harley nodded.

"Told you she was my masterpiece," giggled Solidad.

"Drew, are you ok?" asked May, "You haven't said anything."

"He's so in awe of your beauty," said Solidad.

"Am not," I snapped, noting with satisfaction the blush that spread over May's face.

"Well, what do you think of my creation?" Solidad asked, dramatically sweeping her hand to May.

"You look pretty," I gulped, forcing myself to say the word, earning a round of sniggers.

"Thank you," she said as I stepped forwards and tucked the rose behind her ear, "You don't look half bad either."

"No worries," I whispered, "But I think you should let your hair out more often. It looks good."

"Thanks again," she whispered back.

"We should get going," suggested Harley, "I'm hungry." I nodded, eager to get away from the three boys eyeing me.

As we walked down the streets, I noticed the way the guys stared at her. Some even whistled at her, making her blush. May clung to my arm and I could tell she was nervous. I glared at all the boys who eyed her, making them back off. I was satisfied to know that the beauty that was catching everyone's attention was my date for the night. Well, not date; I reminded myself, partner or something like that. We entered the restaurant and again, eyes turned to May. She hid behind me slightly.

"What's wrong," I whispered to her when we sat down.

"I guess I feel kind of nervous," she replied, "I'm not used to dressing like this or all the attention I'm getting."

"Don't worry about it, you look fine," I assured her, "and in case you hadn't noticed, they all think you already have a boyfriend."

"But we're not dating," she said.

"I know that, and you know that, but to anyone else this looks like a double date," I explained.

"I guess you're right," she sighed.

"Of course I am," I smirked. The waiter arrived, taking our orders and then left, but not without hitting on May first.

"Drew," she whispered quietly, "I really don't like this attention. Can we tell Solidad to take us home?"

"May, we're not running out because a couple of guys are staring at you," I replied quietly, "look I'll try to get them to stop."

"How?" she asked.

"The jealous boyfriend glare," I chuckled.

"What?"

"To everyone, it looks like I'm your boyfriend, if I play the part and give them the jealous glare, they'll back off. Trust me," I explained. I began glaring at every boy in sight. They instantly stopped staring and turned back to their own meals. Our food arrived and I glared at the waiter to make sure he didn't hit on May again.

"Wow!" she exclaimed, "how does that actually work?"

"It's guy language," I explained, "No one wants to be on the receiving end of a jealous boyfriend's rage. The glare is a way of warning 'back off or else'."

"I see," she said thoughtfully, "Wow, you guys are pretty protective over girls huh? Well, thanks for acting like my jealous boyfriend."

"No problem, but you know that now I'm going to have to kiss you at some point or another," I warned her.

"What?" she choked.

"Yeah, if I don't then they'll get suspicious and the whole act will be up," I said solemnly.

"Why?"

"Another thing a jealous boyfriend will do to ward off the others is to kiss her," I explained, "that pretty much shows that she's definitely taken. Don't worry though; it's usually a cheek kiss as so not to embarrass the girl." She giggled and nodded.

May's POV

We were still eating. Drew had told me that he would surprise me with the kiss and try to make sure that Solidad and Harley weren't looking. I didn't feel so nervous eating. I didn't have any boys constantly looking at me thanks to Drew's glaring. I couldn't believe it actually worked.

"Hey Drew, how did your jealous glare work if you're not jealous or my boyfriend?" I asked.

"I figure it can't be too much different from the protective brother glare I've had to use for my younger sister," he shrugged, "They're both protective over a girl. I just played off the fact that they think you're my girlfriend, meaning that I would be jealous."

"Wow, that's pretty clever," I said.

"Not really, I'm sure if someone tried to make a move on you, Max would try it," he shrugged again, "only I've had more practice and the protective brother glare works better if he's older so Max probably wouldn't have made much difference."

"I don't think Max would do that," I sighed.

"Sure he would."

"He didn't do it when he thought you were making a move on me," I pointed out.

"You told me yourself, he approves our supposed relationship."

"I still don't think Max would glare at any other boy," I huffed.

"Yes he would, I'll let you in on a secret," he whispered, "We brothers, though it may not look like it, want the best for our sisters. We have to make sure they have the right intentions. Only the most worthy boys are allowed past. That's why most boys go to great lengths to make a good impression; it's not just for the girl, but for whatever male relative she has."

"Then I'm doomed!" I teased, "Max let you through and you definitely didn't make a good impression."

"I told you May, it's the Drew charm," he grinned. I rolled my eyes. Suddenly I felt his lips press into my cheek. I blushed.

"There, told you I'd surprise you," he whispered.

"Ah! You two are together!" squealed Solidad. My blush deepened.

"I forgot about them, I just knew it was getting a bit late to do it otherwise," he mumbled under his breath.

"No Solidad," he growled lowly, his voice barely a whisper still, "May didn't like all the stares so I'm helping her out. I'm acting the jealous boyfriend and that was a necessary part of it." He emphasised the word acting. She raised an eyebrow.

"Look, I don't feel like explaining it all again. Harley would know about it, ask him if you don't believe me," he said, crossing his arms.

"Is this true Harley? Is the jealous boyfriend theory true?" Solidad asked, turning to Harley.

"Yeah, it's where the boyfriend glares at any guy making eyes at his girl, turns them away real quick," he confirmed, "A kiss is necessary to prove it."

"Oh. And here I was hoping that those two had finally gotten together," she sighed, sounding disappointed. I still hadn't gotten rid of the blush on my face and I refused to look at Drew.

Drew had linked his arm through mine as we walked home. I was too tired to ask about it. It was really late.

"I'm so tired," I yawned.

"Mm, I noticed," he said, "You're hardly standing up." I realized that I was leaning on him for support.

"Sorry," I said, quickly moving away.

"That's ok, as long as you can get up the stairs by yourself," he teased.

"Watch me," I said, starting up them. About halfway I slipped and fell back. Drew caught me.

"Sure you can," he smirked. He pushed me back upright and I successfully made it the rest of the way up.

"Thanks for making me look pretty," I said to Solidad.

"No problem," she brushed it off, "I wanted you to be the star for the night."

"You're so nice," I smiled.

"We'll see you tomorrow right?" She asked, ignoring what I had just said. I looked to Drew questioningly.

"Sure, at the contest," he nodded, "but probably not in the morning. While you and Harley will sleep in, May and I have to leave early."

"What?" I exclaimed, "Why couldn't you tell me this earlier? I would have come here sooner."

"It didn't matter," he replied, "Solidad would have made us stay anyway." Solidad and Harley left, closing their doors. Drew walked me to my room.

"You should probably get to sleep really quickly," he suggested.

"Yeah, thanks for tonight. It was fun," I yawned again.

"That's ok. Get some rest," he whispered, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodnight Drew," I called after him.

"Night May," he replied. I entered my room and was instantly bombarded by three over excited boys.

"Tell me all about it," yelled Max.

"Let me get changed first," I groaned. Locked myself in the bathroom and quickly changed into my PJ's. I sank down into the covers on my bed as I told them about most of it. I left out Drew's acting. They didn't need to know that. I could slowly feel myself dropping asleep.

A/N: Yay my OC finally comes in! Craig is a little bit of a filler character. Anyway, who knew Drew could get so jealous hey? I love teasing him. Please Review. What do you think of my OC?
