Fire and Ice

A Slight Obsession

In all honesty, I know I should just give up.

I mean, it's been-how many months now? Six or seven? Well, either way, it's been a long time and still Greninja has no interest in giving me a chance. As a matter of fact, he's made his dislike for me as plain as day. If I had any ounce of common sense, I'd just give up this fruitless chase right now and turn my interests towards something-or someone-else.

I don't even know why I like him so much. He's not ugly by any means, but he's also not good-looking in the sense that some Pokemon are. And not to sound arrogant or anything, but I'm sure that if I tried, I could get just about anyone else.

But....I don't want anyone else. I want him.

He's attacked me on several occasions, yet I can't bring myself to hurt him.

He won't even do me the courtesy of saying hello once in a while, but I can't stop myself from attempting to strike up a conversation whenever the opportunity presents itself.

He's even made me cry before, but I always end up forgiving him.

And yet....nothing ever changes. No matter what I try, I never seem to make any progress in getting Greninja to like me. It's almost like trying to wind my way out of a dense forest, only to find that each path leads to the same spot.

Actually, on second thought, it's exactly like that.

So, I'm sure I know what everyone is thinking. If I know there's no point, why do I even bother trying?

Well, to that I say...I don't know.

I don't know why I still try.

I don't know why I haven't listened to common sense and just given up already.

But I do know that I don't want to lose him. And if I quit now, then that's it. I'll have lost any chance I might have had with him for good. 

Maybe that's why I still insist on getting myself hurt.
