"All right! I shall be waiting for you at Veilstone Gym! I will train seriously in whatever way I can, so that I will be ready for what ever you intend to throw at me!"

Half an hour later Missy left our room and Pearl and I are now sitting on the couch, watching a bit of TV. It wasn't something that interesting, just a re-transmission of an old cartoon episode both of us watched a while ago.
Even though the mood is quite nice and relaxed, I am not comfortable with it. It was just... TOO quiet between us. It's something I already noticed some time ago, but Pearl seems to avoid too much contact with me since we started our journey with Missy. It's quite upsetting!

I am gonna do it now! I'll talk with him about this and nothing will stop me! My inner eyes are already burning with determination!

"Say Pearl..."
"Yes, Dia?" Was his answer, as he continued to stare at the TV.
"Why are you avoiding me?" I asked him, also continuing to look at the TV.
"What are you talking about, Dia? How am I avoiding you? See, I am even talking with you righ-"
"You know what I mean!" I interrupted him and turned my head towards him, looking serious.
"Oh, come on Dia. You are just imagining things. Why would I ever avoid-"
I didn't let him finish, as I pushed him back and pinned him into the couch. He immediately tried to push me back, but I am way heavier than him, thanks to all the snacks I am always eating. I have to thank my late Dad for this, as he always told me:
"The more you weigh, the harder you are to kidnap.
Stay safe,
Eat Cake."
Just that Mom wouldn't let me eat this much cake, so I had to switch to snacks.

"Pearl, you are avoiding me and I am not imagining it. Also, I want to talk about this NOW." I pressured him.
"F-Fine. What do you want to talk about?" He asked me.
"Ever since Missy joined us on this journey you are behaving strange. Why are you avoiding me? Could it be.... that you fell in love with her and that you want to break up?" I questioned him, hoping that the last part was just something my mind-
*SLAP*
Pearl slapped me. I just looked down shocked at his angry face. Why are there tears in his eyes?
"Diamond! Is this all the trust you are giving me!? Are you doubting me this much!? Do you take me for a joke!?" He shouted at me.
"You should know me better than this! You should know that I would straight up come to you if I would want to break up! Why would you even think that I would do this!?"

"I'm sorry, Pearl. You are right, it was a stupid question.... It's just.... Ever since Missy showed up you started avoiding me more and more. I am worried about the reason and confused why you would do this! I.... I just don't want to lose you!" I started to cry, letting myself collapse on him, crying into his shirt as I lay on his chest.

After 10 minutes I calmed down.
"Did you cry enough now?" Pearl asked tenderly.
"Yes!" I smiled at him, the last tears still flowing down my face.
"You really are an idiot, Dia." Pearl said as he started to hug me, calming me down even more.
"I know." I agreed with him. "But, really now. Why did you avoid me, Pearl?" I asked again, still wanting to know the answer.
"Uh... Well..... Ehm.....You see......" he started to stammer, his face starting to become red.
"Pearl, could it be that you are embarrassed to show affection in front of a stranger and that's why you avoid me to stop every attempt of affection even before it happens?"
"..... so what about it?" He played tough.
"Nothing~" I teased him a little. He really is just too cute when he is so shy like right now.
"Don't worry about it, I won't do anything with others around, but the next time just come to me and let us talk it out, please." I said, as I leaned towards his face, placing a soft kiss on his lips. He immediately blushed even more.
