Philophobia: Fear of Falling in Love or Being in Love
Ash POV
Me and Brock were just walking back to our homes when he just had to ask the awful question of why I'm so dense when it comes to love. I sighed, knowing I couldn't lie to him.
"Well, I've always been smarter than I've looked, Brock, but I've just pretended to be dense because of Philophobia. I don't know why I have it, but it keeps me from loving someone. I wanted to keep it a secret from everyone, so I've just played dense."
"I see. No wonder you were always so dense. But you're not the only one with a love phobia." he answered back.
"Oh really? Do you have Anuptaphobia, the fear of staying single?" I said, smirking. I could practically hear his jaw hit the ground after it dropped open.
"T-that's exactly right, Ash! How did you-?" he asked, but I held up a hand to silence him.
"You've always gone after any pretty girl you've seen. Anyone with have a brain can tell you have Anuptaphobia because of that." I told him, smirking even more.
"Well, I've tried to get therapy for it before, but it hasn't worked. Maybe you would have better luck if you got some therapy for it?" he told me as we walked on. I shook my head.
"No way. I've tried it already. The only thing that can cover it up is my dense facade. The only ones that know about my phobia are my mom, you, Pikachu, and Prof. Oak. No one else knows about my phobia, so don't tell anyone, alright?" I told him. He smiled as he said: "I promise." I smiled back at him as we continued our way to the crossroads.
I know, short chapter. I'm good at those anyway. By the way: read, review, and send me more people who you think should have which phobia. I only have one left!
