Aimar's POV
"Where are we going?" asked Ash, following me down the steps of the dorm. The weather was at its par, the sky an ocean of blue, not a single cloud in sight. I pulled the sleeves of my sweater tighter around my waist, securing it in place. "I told you," I responded, "I texted Dawn and asked if you and I could go over."
"Why would you do that?" Ash asked, pulling his phone out from his pocket and turning it on.
"You act like we have something better to do. Besides," I gave him a sly smirk. "You know you want to see her."
Ash tripped on his feet and nearly dropped his phone, catching before it could hit the ground. "Why do you keep thinking I want to see Serena?" He remarked, rolling his eyes at me.
"Who mentioned Serena? I just said 'her'." I laughed, feeling the heat of his glare on the side of my face. "For all you know, I could've been referring to Dawn."
"There's no way you were referring to Dawn," he pouted.
"And you know that how?
"Because I know so."
I let out a little chuckle. "You're so immature." I told him, sweat dropping. "You remind me of a ten year old."
We arrived at Serena and Dawn's dormitory, which was on the first floor. Like us, they lived in the first building.
"Well," I started, "Are you going to knock?"
"Uhh, I guess if you're not going to do it." He stepped forward and reached out to knock, making a familiar tune.
"Is that the Healer sound effect? From the Pokecenter?" He nodded, leaning on the door with a huge grin on his face. "It's also my rintone." He suddenly fell back, the door opening behind him. I reached out and held his hand, pulling him back up. He stood upright and turned to see Serena at the door.
"Oh hey Serena!" Ash said, scratching the back of his head. Serena laughed and moved to the side.
"Hey Ash, come on in." She giggled, gesturing at us to enter. Ash walked in and I followed. Pikachu ran towards the bed and made himself comfortable. I looked over and saw Dawn watching Snapchat stories.
"What's up, Dawn?" Ash asked, waving at her. She looked up and smiled. "Hey Ash! I'm guessing you're here for your date with Se-"
"DAWN SHUT IT!" Serena boomed, holding a pillow in a throwing position. Her face was beet red, but I couldn't tell if it was from anger or embarrassment. Ash seemingly took note of this, and asked what I believe could possibly be the dumbest thing I've ever heard or ever will hear him say.
"Hey Serena, are you alright? You should take a seat, your face is really red."
I swear to god it got so quiet that you would hear a pin drop on the floor if we had one. Serena's face flared up, getting more of Ash's attention. He walked over to her, and placed his hand on her cheek. "Woah, Serena! You're burning up!"
Dawn and I lost it. I clutched my stomach, roaring with laughter as I took in what just happened. Dawn rolled off her bed and started pounding on the floor. Even Pikachu face palmed at his trainer's stupidity. Serena seemed to be having the least amount of fun from all of this; her face was a color of red I've yet to see. This situation lasted for a good ten minutes.
"I'm going outside to get some fresh air." Serena quickly said, attempting to get away from the scene.
"Yeah, you go do that." I answered, wiping my tears.
Serena's POV
I opened the door and rushed outside, closing it behind me and quickly descending down the stairs. Upon reaching the bottom, I took a deep breath and calmed myself, taking a seat on the last step. I looked around my surroundings to make sure no one was there. "That was so embarrassing!" I said aloud. "I might as well be the cause of global warming." I face palmed. "That's right, Kalos Academy. I, Serena Yvonne, caused the last Ice Age."
I hung my head down in humiliation. Now Ash thinks I'm some loser who has some sort of face problem. I was simply blushing, nothing more to it.
No, I wasn't, I told myself. You were not blushing because there was no reason to blush. It was just really hot in there. Or was it something else? Maybe it was because he put his hand on my cheek.
I wiggled around, attempting to get the butterflies out of my stomach. Even thinking about it warmed my cheeks, and just the thought of him left a tingly sensation. I slightly giggled, thinking of his obliviousness. "He actually thought I was sick," I quietly laughed. "How can someone be so naive?"
"Who?" A voice said behind me, his footsteps edging closer. I looked up the staircase and saw Ash making his way down towards me.
"No one!" I quickly replied, realizing he overheard. "How long have you been there?"
"Not long, I didn't really hear much." I sighed, a feeling of relief going through me. "So," he continued, "How do you feel?"
"I wasn't sick," I told him, "It was just really hot in there."
"I guess you're right, it was kind of hot in there." He said, taking a seat next to me. His arm rubbed against mine, a light pink color taking place on my face. I took a quick glance at him as he looked into the distance. His hair rustled in the wind, and his cap added structure to his face. There were slight marks on his cheeks that weren't too noticeable unless you looked for them. His eyes were a deep auburn color, a shade that I felt I could get lost into if I stared for too long.
"Serena?" I snapped out of my senses. I blushed as I realized what I was doing, looking down to hide it.
"Umm, yes?"
"Are you a trainer? You only seem to have one Pokemon, and I know it's not your first year since you knew where the auditorium was at, along with your dorm without getting a schedule."
I looked at him, slightly taken back by how observant he was. "Well, my mother works here at the academy, and since I have no family in the Kalos region to take me in, I was kinda forced into staying here." I realized how negative I made it sound, so I kept going. "Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it here. Especially since Dawn is here to tag along, it makes life here really interesting." He nodded, taking in the information and looking back towards the sky. I joined him, deciding to relax and enjoy the weather.
Aimar's POV
"I'm gonna go check on her." said Ash. Judging by the uneasy look on his face, I could tell he wasn't to comfortable with us laughing at him.
"Alright." Dawn waved him off as she slowly got herself together.
Ash stepped outside and closed the door behind him, no longer in hearing distance. I sat upright and cleaned myself off, turning to face Dawn.
"So," I started, smirking at Dawn. "How are we getting those two together?"
She gave me a confused look, taking it a second for what I said to be understood. She smiled at me and replied, "You see it too? The way she gets around him, and the way he gets around her."
"Well, not the 'he around her' part." I put my hands behind my neck, creating a headrest. "But that can be fixed with time and planning."
"And how exactly are you actually gonna get him to do that?" She blinked, tilting her head to give it more effect. A sly smile crawled onto my face, setting the gears in my mind on. "Serena's extremely cute, like next level. I'm sure Ash has noticed that by now, without a doubt," a small flashback of my earlier conversation with Ash came to mind. "But when it comes to relationships, I don't think he has the slightest clue as to what to say or do."
"Well, let's get them on a date!" Dawn exclaimed, almost squealing.
"A date? What are they gonna do, Dormroom and Chill?" I sarcastically said, raising a brow. Dawn gave me a blank look, and vaguely replied, "A date with Mother Nature."
