From Beautifly
Slateport City, Hoenn. June 12th, 6 years ago. 4:21pm.
"I really hope I make it to the second round," I muttered to myself anxiously awaiting the results. Suddenly, a red rose was thrust in my face. I looked up to see the annoyingly handsome grasshead that had been bugging me since we came here.
I blushed at the fact that he'd given me a rose. A red rose. I inwardly squealed. I've got to tell Misty about this. Drew smiled slightly. "A good performance May!" he complimented me, as I stared at his gorgeous face. "For me?" I asked, blushing at both the compliment and the rose, as I picked the flower out from between his fingers.
Drew faltered a little, but covered it up with a hair flick and an insult. "It's not for you, it's for your Beautifly!" he'd exclaimed. Then he flicked his hair. "Of course, it's clear that the coordinator still has some training to do." Although I saw right through his facade, I couldn't help but get mad at his insult.
Slateport City Pokémon Centre, Hoenn. 12th June, 6 years ago. 11:13pm.
Misty squealed as soon as she saw the rose I had carefully pressed into a book.
"He totally likes you!" she squealed.
I frowned. "But he teases and insults me all the time! Plus he's so arrogant!" I retorted.
Misty rolled her eyes as I raised an eye brow at her.
"That's just how some boys show affection or interest in you," she explained. "I don't know about his insults or anything, but do they get you fired up?" she quizzed. I thought about it for a moment. Then I nodded.
"There you go," she told me. "He likes to see you fired up," she elaborated. My eyes widened. "And he's arrogant because-" she started, but I cut her off. "Because arrogance is another term for showing off!" I realized. "He's trying to show me he's all high and mighty!"
Misty applauded over the videophone.
"Yes!" she exclaimed, wiping fake tears out of her eyes. I groaned. She laughed.
"Anyways, there's this new girl who's travelling with Gary right now!" she told me. My blue eyes widened. Gary? Travelling with just one girl? That doesn't sound like Gary. "Who?" I asked her. "Leaf Green. She's super nice, and fun too." she paused. "Plus she likes my mallet."
I rolled my eyes. Of course Misty would take a liking to her. I looked at the time.
"I should probably go to sleep now. " I told her. "Bye!"
I looked at the pressed rose. If he liked me, did I like him back?
Fallabor Contest Hall, Hoenn. 2nd July, 6 years ago. 7:28pm.
I did it! I finally won my first ribbon! I squealed happily. Ash, Max and Brock met me outside, and offered me congratulations. I thanked them happily.
"Hey." I heard a voice say. I turned around to see the handsome face of the arrogant coordinator I had been dreaming about for the past couple weeks. In those couple weeks, I realized I liked him. A lot.
He threw me a rose. I decided to tease him a little.
"I guess this rose is for Beautifly, right?" His facade broke for a second, but he covered it up quickly with a flick of his hair.

Something like that
His words rang in my head as I recited them to Misty and Leaf. I also told them about the second and third rose, to which both of them squealed at. Then, I told them about the realization I had come upon a week earlier. They both nodded in understanding.
"Yeah, I kinda guessed you liked him by the way you gush about him." Leaf smirked a little. My face turned red. "What do you mean gush?!" I squeaked. Misty sighed. "Not that you don't, but do me a favour," she said as both Leaf and I turned our attention to her.
"Call us after a couple months along with every time you get a rose. If you like him this much after only a couple of weeks, you'd realize you're probably in love with him after a couple months." she theorized. "Really? That soon?" I said doubtfully.
"I agree." Leaf added. I sighed. "Alright I'll call you in a couple months and after I get a rose to discuss." I told them, as we changed the topic.
Slateport City Pokémon Centre, Hoenn. November 23rd, 6 years ago. 1:18pm.
I was walking around with my mom, Caroline, when I spotted Drew and Roselia. I quickly made my over to them, bragging about the fact that I made it. He merely shrugged it off, but handed me a rose anyway.
Then Harley decided to interrupt our moment by clicking pictures of our faces.
My mom teased me about him as we walked back to the centre.
Slateport City Pokémon Centre, Hoenn. November 23rd, 6 years ago. 9:04pm.
I called up Leaf and Misty and told them about the rose, as well as my recent Wynaut adventure with Drew. They gasped and squealed at how romantic the whole thing was.
A couple months ago, I realized I was in love with Drew, just as Misty had theorized. As I came to that realization, I started being incredibly happy, and light as if a weight had been lifted off of me.
"I thought you were in love with him." Came a voice from behind me. I froze instantly. "M-mom?" I breathed as Misty and Leaf watched the exchange silently.
"And Max, and Ash, and Brock." I turned around this time. " Max?" I gasped and turned bright red. Suddenly they all broke into smiles and hugged me. I was flabbergasted. "What?" I managed to choke out.
Ash rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "We kinda all suspected you liked Drew, so we were gonna ask you to go on a walk with us to confront you about it." Brock chuckled slightly. "Clearly, the walk wasn't needed."
My eyes widened, as I took in the information. Was it that obvious?
"And…?" I asked nervously.
Mom smiled. "And I fully approve of Drew. He's good for you, and you're good for him." I blushed. "Thanks guys." Misty and Leaf squealed again from the phone.
"Hey Mist!" Ash greeted her as he and Misty engaged in a lively conversation.
I turned back to my mom.
"Will Dad…?" I asked her doubtfully.
She sighed as she shook her head sadly.
"He's still gonna want you to get with Brendan."
I sighed. I wished things could be easier.
Cerulean City, Kanto. November 23rd, 6 years later. 8:30pm.
I was now, 16, and still hopelessly in love with Drew. And he still gave me roses, telling me they were for Beautifly. By now, I'd figured out that Beautifly was a nickname for me. But he didn't know I knew. So I decided to make it known.
"For Beautifly." he said, throwing the rose over his shoulder. Before he could make his dramatic exit, I stopped him.
"Wait Drew!" he turned around, surprised I'd called him. I bent over panting as I reached him. He blushed, trying not to look at my chest. I rolled my eyes. I 'd have to call that out later.
I straightened out, and grabbed his collar, as I put my lips near his beet red ear. "Beautifly has a present for you," I told him, as his eyes widened. "I-It's fine, I-I don't need one," he said, though I could hear his breath quickening. I pulled back, tracing circles on his chest seductively.
"Oh but of course you do! Especially since you gave Beautifly 6 years worth of roses!" I feigned innocence, though both Drew and I knew it was just part of the show. I pulled him by his collar again, tracing his jawline.
"I know I'm Beautifly by the way." I whispered as I closed the gap between us, moulding our lips together. After a couple seconds, I started to feel pressure on my own lips as well. I let go of his collar and placed my hands around his neck while he slid his around my waist, and dipped me back slightly.
When we were done, I was pressed against the wall of the Cerulean City Gym, with Drew hovering over me. I smirked and pulled his lips back onto mine and moaned seductively in his mouth. He pulled me back to his room at the Poké Centre. Something told me we wouldn't be getting out of here soon.
Thanks for reading! Please Review and send dares for my hopefully next fic!
