He didn’t know why. Every time he looked at her, he had lost himself in those beautiful eyes of her, those blue whirlpools, endless, so charming, so mysterious, surrounding him, trapping him in a labyrinth of his own thoughts.

His hands, shaking uncontrollably, his tongue, unbelievable wrapped, his mind, running around in circles, unable to pronounce even one single word.

He had never been very good at expressing emotions, he was not a cold person, however, he had felt joy more than once throughout his journeys around the different regions of the world, but never the type of joy he experienced every time she use to smile widely at him. He felt proud of the awards, prizes and dreams achieved by each one of his former companions, but never the way he felt every time that the blonde haired girl wins a Pokemon Showcase. He felt sadness now and then, but never the kind he felt that night, when he heard the sobbing of his partner after her first loss, she knew she was brave and confident, but hearing that crying, almost screaming of the soon-to-be Kalos Queen (because he’s completely sure that one day she´s gonna become the new Kalos Queen) shattered his heart into a million pieces.

She often says that he’s an inspiration to her. Exactly in that moment, is when the pain comes. A deeply, oh, so deeply, pain in the middle of his chest, like a thousand Vivillons using hurricane at the same time inside him. The strangest part, however, is how he had become addicted to that pain. He truly wants to feel it, because it’s a nice pain. How a pain can feel actually nice? - He thinks to himself – Well, that’s a question for another day. Today, all that matters, once again, is her.

The way she smiles at him, the way she compliments him, the way she’s always baking something different just to make him happy. And he’s never truly grateful for that. Why? Maybe, just maybe because he’s an as… Not, not that word, but, yea, he’s kind of an idiot, an oblivious, dense, and unwilling to reciprocate feelings idiot.

" Ash…"

Oh, and the way she says his name, that’s the most wonderful thing about her! It’s like she picks softly each one of those three letters, combines them very slowly, thinks about saying it carefully, and then Boom! Like that, she enchants him with the sound of her voice

"Ash…"

For Arceus, it feels warmer than the hug of a giant Teddiursa

"Ash…"

Softer than a pillow stuffed with Altaria’s feathers

"Ash…"

More shocking than any 10.000 volts attack that he had receive from Pikachu in his entire life

"Ash!!!"

He blinks; finally awakening from his daydream, Serena is staring at him, worry evident in her eyes and the sound of her voice

"Huh? Sorry Serena, I really wasn’t paying attention, what were you saying?"

She frowns, Clemont laughs a little and Bonnie facepalms

" I ask you…" Serena says, "If you like me…"

Immediately, he stands, looking at Serena’s eyes, and says,"Finally! I’ve been waiting for this question for weeks now! Finally you ask it, Serena!"
