❝ Pure hearts; Sinful desires; Endless love ❞
"Ain't it scary? How you can have everything you wanted only to lose it next second?"
She asked the picture holding it in her hand.. Her fingers brushing over the portrait taken years ago in the memory...

"It sure is nice to talk sometime like this right?" She asked him as they sat in the corner most cubicle of the resturant in late night when the resturant was supposed to be turned into bar not caring about the loud music booming and piercing down the walls of their cubicle...
"Yeah, with everything getting hectic and hectic it sure is..." He sipped down the hot soup soothing his aching throat.. She looked at him and passed a sheet to him.. His subtle gaze caught a glimpse of the heading of the sheet.. "Despite not you being there, you were somehow popped up as the head of managing committee and three out of four special classes voted for you... Any idea how?" She asked him.. With his gaze intact on the soup, he replied her...
"I wonder... Fate is quite a thing I guess.."
"I don't even know what you are aiming at this time.. The special exam is over so who will you expel this time, that too by becoming the managing director? It would make sense if you were a player and said someone injured you..." Her chopsticks rose toward Ash dismissively who blinked his eyes slowly...
"The visible special exam is over.. Not the student points one and stuff like that... I just want to keep my position in the class safe so i won't be expelled.. I am still aiming to come out as an ideal student as a promise to you..." Lies.. His aim was to break the administration of the school and deal a final blow all on his own.. Prove Cynthia's worth and keep his ass safe too... There were tens no hundreds of backroom deals going on and it was a pain for him...
"That aside... What about the Zeraora? Where did you got it?" She adjusted her blonde lock of hair over her ears turning around to face Ash who had a poker face thinking about something else.. "Oh, that thing.. G-men gifted it to me as a reward for completing the 1000 point mission.. Cool i guess.." He answered the question looking at the pokeball next to him and decided it to be a perfect time to wrap things up...
"Oh... I see... That aside.. Astrid feels like you are hiding something from us and i can't shrug this feeling of uneasiness too.. If something is bothering you then we are here.. You can talk about it..." She offered it to him whose lips softly cracked into a smile.. He was bothered by it but the mess was his and only his.. He will deal with it on his own...
"I can say the same thing.. Can't I? You never answered my question of that night too.. Do you love me or hate me?" He asked her as she chewed the inside of her mouth at the dreaded question.. Was he still onto it? In the silence of the room, Ash saw her face and sighed.. It was ephemeral as she said and forbidden was cherry on top of the dessert of doom so he decided to change it...
"You don't have to answer it.."
He simply said and cursed himself for bringing upon the thick cloud of sexual tension over them and stood from his seat.. It really bothered him. Going back, not to those dreamy past memories where they had fun with each other but to the night of the cursed day.. The night where where he laid down his heart, soul, everything bare in front of her.. An unconscious clench of hand didn't went unnoticed by her..
