Speaking the Truth - Gold x Silver

Speaking the Truth

"This is it guys." I inhale sharply and gulp, my Pokémon team, no, partners looking at me worryingly.

"Today will change everything, I'm already 99% sure I'll get rejected, but it's okay I mean I'm not exactly anyone's type really!" I lift my arm and scratch my neck nervously, man, my self esteem is taking a toll lately.

Typhlosion eyes soften, he approaches me and nuzzles against my arm in an effort to comfort me.

It worked, because I felt my heart warming up as all the other came over to hug me, they knew I've been going through a tough time dealing with my recent crush.

I'd never even had one until now and I'd never guess it would be a guy.

I mean, I never thought I'd ever even like a guy that way.

Well, okay liking a guy I could deal with, the problem was it just had to be my rival, no, friend.

Silver.

See he wasn't like anyone I'd met, he had this weird mysterious and serious aura around him, but it was easy to break though.

It felt so good when I broke through his barriers too.

Because the moment I saw him smile, knowing I was the reason why, my heart raced and twirled and I swear I felt like it would have jumped right out my mouth.

I finally understood why girls in those cliche romance movies freeze up talking to their crush because I felt that right then and there.

My face flushed, I tilted my head slightly so my bangs could hide more of my face, my hands felt sweaty and I was force to stuff them into my pockets and I couldn't stop smiling.

It wasn't a genuine smile it was more of a " oh my god I think I'm gay " nervous smile.

Ever since I've been trying to avoid seeing Silver, which was pretty much impossible since we both were going to the same locations just with different routes.

Anyways I started today feel guilty about it when Silver tried battling me and I ran away before he could finish his sentence, not saying a word, the look in his eyes drastically changed from eagerness to panic, wondering if he did something wrong.

That's when I realized I had to do something before our friendship was destroyed thanks to me.

So here I am tracking down Silver to the Dragons Den, choking up on my way there, I never imagined myself losing my confidence like this it feels so strange.

"S-Silver!" I call out to him, I notice him tense up and he withdraws his Golbat, I guess he was training.

"...Why are you here? It seemed like you would rather stay away from me, don't think I didn't notice."

And cue the feeling of a big rock dropping into my stomach, a rock of tremendous guilt.

"Yeah, um about that."

Nervous, again. I hate this, but I also love it, being lovesick really sucks.

I stuff my hands into my pockets again, subconsciously, it's become one of my nerves habits.

"So I know I've been hiding from you, I'm sorry. I just, er didn't really know how to deal with things so I just ran from it all."

Silver narrowed his eyes, oh no this isn't making sense, he's going to think I'm making excuses and will hate me more I have to be honest. I have to confess, I feel like I might pass out what the hell?!
