The Sea Guardian {A Pokémon Fanfiction}

The Final Blow

A/N: I dedicate this chapter to my good friend, Twave. She's not on WattPad, but she told me to say hi for her to all my readers ^^ Enjoy~

Lyra's POV~

I placed a finger to my lips. The lips Gold's had occupied only a minute ago. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I confirmed this wasn't a dream after all.

"Hoooly crap," I whispered to myself, forcing my paralyzed legs to walk into the Pokemon Center. Nurse Joy stood at her desk, looking up at me and smiling.

"Have a nice walk, Lyra?" she asked politely.

"Yeah," I replied, my voice cracking at the end. She suddenly looked concerned.

"Is everything all right?" Joy questioned.

"More than all right," I assured. I probably sounded more desperate than I am, but, who cares? Gold just kissed me for crying out loud! "I'm just gonna go."

"Okay then," she nodded. "Have a great night."

"Thanks," I mumbled. "You too."

Walking quickly down the hallway, I entered the girls' room breathlessly. Hazel groaned, rolling over in her bed.

"Idiot," she muttered, tossing a pillow at me. "You woke up me and Blizzard."

"Hazel!" I squeaked.

"Lyra," Naomi moaned. "Be quiet."

"You guys!" I whispered harshly.

"Shut up," Hazel said into her pillow.

"Gold fucking kissed me!" I blurted out, swearing for the first time in my life. Hazel and Naomi shot up instantly.

"He did what?" Hazel's heavy eyelids widened as much as they could.

"He kissed me!" I repeated, sitting next to her on the bed.

"What was he thinking?" she face-palmed.

"You like him back, don't you?" Naomi questioned.

"Of course I do," I blushed. "But it was so sudden! I mean, I wasn't expecting it at all!"

"Hold up," Hazel halted. "Lyra? Since when did you swear?"

"It just kinda came out," I said, flustered. "Sorry."

"So, are you and Gold an item now?" Twave asked from her bunk.

"Since when did you get up?" Naomi chuckled softly.

"We're you eavesdropping on us?" Hazel raised a brow at her.

"Pretty much," she grinned.

"I don't know what we are," I sighed, not really answering Twave's question. "It may have been just a friendly gesture."

"That's true," Hazel reasoned, stroking Blizzard in her lap. "But he hasn't done something that friendly with anyone, especially you. Right?"

"Well, we've hugged and he's put an arm around me a few times," I guessed.

"That's so adorable!" the blond giggled from up in her bunk.

"I agree," Hazel chimed. "You two make the perfect couple!"

"You're really lucky," Twave beamed, hanging her head over the bunk she laid on. "I'd kill for a boyfriend."

"Especially one like Gold," Naomi added, sitting up criss-cross.

"I know," I sighed happily. "Gold and I have been great friends since we were little. And I've had a crush on him forever."

"Does it ever bug you when he flirts with other girls?" the brunette coordinator interrogated.
