More than friends

This is a short story

Brendan and May arrived at the bottom of mirage mountain and began their long walk to the top. The two had been asked by Brendan's dad, Professor Birch to search the top of the mountain for a legendary Pokemon said to inhabit it

"So this Pokémon is apparently only here on Tuesdays according to my dad" Brendan said. "I wish he could have at least told us what it was, or why we had to come together. Wouldn't one of us been enough?"

May laughed and replied "oh come on! Where's your sense of adventure? And besides you wouldn't let your best friend travel here alone would you?" Giving him a wink.

He blushed and looked away "No, I guess i wouldn't". Brendan thought to himself "why did I have to say that after she captured Kyogre?" "You know why you said it". His thoughts went back and forth.

He looked up at May who was already near the top. "Hey!" She yelled. "Get your head out of the clouds! We are almost there!" Brendan yelled back "be right there!"

The two made it to the top. They searched every inch of the mountain top, but no Pokemon in sight, not even a Zigzagoon. The two looked puzzled and decided to give the professor a call on the pokenav. They informed him of the Pokemon's absence. He searched through his reports.

Finally he said "oops!" Brendan and May said "oops?" Together. He said "I made a miscalculation. It seems it only shows up on Monday".

Both trainers face palmed and fell backwards. May replied "Monday!" In disbelief. "But it's Tuesday! We will have to wait a whole week!" Brendan scoffed "Thanks dad!"

As the two laid there they watched the sun set over the beautiful hoenn waters. The orange glow reflected off of them both. They were both entranced by its beauty. May broke the silence by saying "I guess we should be getting back".

Brendan looked over to May as the light reflected from her beautiful face. He didn't know why he was looking at her that way, but he couldn't stop. Something came over him that he couldn't explain.

"What if we spent the night here tonight?" He said blushing. Hoping that the sun light would hide his red cheeks.

May surprised by his forwardness thought about it. "Is this what I think it is? Does he wanna spend the night with me? Nah! It couldn't be could it?" She searched for an answer but eventually blurted out "yes!! I mean sure!"

Time passed and the two talked all about their adventures. They enjoyed each others company and the stories they had. The night finally came. The two laid in their sleeping bags near each other. May started shaking and talking in her sleep. Brendan woke up and came over to check on her. He saw tears dripping from her closed eye lids. It pained him to see her crying.

He shook her. "May wake up!" He said desperately. She awoke from the nightmare and saw Brendan above her. She quickly embraced him saying "Thank God you're okay! I had an awful nightmare that something bad happened to you"

Brendan in surprise said "you were crying for me?" He pulled her away from his chest and dried her tears with his fingers. He said "it's okay! Everything is okay! Please don't cry anymore!"

She was overtaken with emotion with how caring he was. She put her hands on his face and pulled him in for a kiss. Brendan was in complete shock before finally moving his lips, kissing her back. He wrapped his arms around her to keep her into the kiss.

When the two broke for air they searched for the right words before May took a deep breath and decided to be honest. "I'm not gonna lie and say I just did that because of the bad dream. Brendan, I'm in love with you. I have been since the day I moved next to you. I don't wanna pretend like I don't anymore".

Brendan put his finger under May's chin as she looked away to tilt her gaze back to his. "I love you too May. I've loved you since the day you walked into my room when you moved here. I don't wanna pretend either. Let's just be together now"

May smiled and the two kissed again. May lifted up her blanket for Brendan to get under. "I don't wanna sleep alone" she said grabbing his arm. He replied "you won't have to". They cuddled close in her sleeping bag, holding each other tightly as they fell asleep, together at last.
