Milo's POV
"Hey what took you two so long?!" It was Nessa screeching at us. "I had to get my pokemon healed up, is that such an issue?" The short and (h/c) haired girl knocked heads with the dark-skinned water lover. "Ummm, there's no need to fight," I said rather softly, no wonder they didn't hear me.
"Hey, Milo, how's it going?" I saw Piers watching the two girls go at it, I sighed, "It's going, what am I going to do with her?" I murmured the second part whilst shaking my head. "Dunno, ask her out?" He suggested this happens every time I ask myself what I'll do with her. "I already told you, Piers, I can't muster up that kind of courage to ask her." You could hear a faint annoyance laced in my voice, he shook his head at me and sighed. "You need to ask her sooner or later, one day you'll find her heart taken by another if you don't ask." That was deep, what else do you expect from Piers. "I don't know when but I'll manage it. I'll-" I was cut off, "Do it now."
(Milo is screeching along with me in my writer's hole, "Story me can't ask now!! It's only the 10th chapter!" I shush Milo and whisper something in his ear, "Oh okay let's get back to writing." Hawk -my cat- meows and jumps on the writer's table. "Hey, off I must write!" )
"Not now, I don't think it's a good idea." I gestured to the two girls knocking heads and shuddered. "Yeah you're right, those two scare me sometimes," Piers muttered.
"WE WHAT!?!" The two girls shouted at my emo friend, how they heard him is beyond me. "Ummm, can you two stop yelling before Officer Jenny gets called over?" I said louder, the two heard me and smiled. "Sure we can stop." They were in sync, "Stop repeating me! No, you! Gahhh this is so frustrating!" They continued in sync. I separated the two and sighed, "You two are way more than I can handle." They both 'hmpfed' and sat down in the grass next to the lighthouse.
Time Skip due to technical issues "FOR THE LAST TIME STOP STEALING MY SANDWICH!!" Is yelling Hawk who has a sandwich.
Bea, Gordie, and Raihan took longer to get here and Nessa chewed their ears offs when they did. "Okay, I called you all over because I know some of you haven't been here yet. So, being a good friend, I wanted to have a picnic and talk about what we did on the way here." Nessa explained to us, she laid out a blanket and most of us were sitting on it, minus (y/n) and Piers. (Y/n) was sitting on a miniature cliff face(that hill near the lighthouse) and Piers was hiding in a shadow.
"Hey, (y/n), you hungry? Nessa is having a picnic for everyone. " the girl was sprawled out comfortably on the grass. "No thanks, but thank you for asking." She turned her head in my direction, "Rather watch the clouds now." I smiled at this, this girl is the most hyperactive girl I've ever met and she chooses to watch clouds, I thought warmly. "Okay well, you know where to come if you get hungry." And with that, I walked back over to the others.
"She not coming?" Gordie asked, I shook my head and grabbed a plate. "Well, if she doesn't want to come, it is her decision." Bea pointed out while beginning to eat some Hulbury delicacy. I wasn't eating much, wasn't hungry either, so I just talked with everyone else.
"So what'd you two do? Hmmmmmmm?" Raihan looked at me with some odd expression. "Errr, I caught a Cherubi and gave her to (y/n). Besides that nothing, much happened, oh have you noticed her acting weird?" I looked at them with a worried expression. "Acting weird? If it counts, watching clouds isn't like her. Usually, she'd be right here and trying not to knock everything over." Nessa gave me a sympathetic smile and set down an empty plate. "Yeah, I know I shouldn't be questioning her actions but, I'm worried about her." I sighed and flashed a glance in the (e/c) eyed girl's direction.
"Sounds to me that yoooouuuuu liiiikkkkkeeeee heeeerrrrr." Nessa and Bea said at the same time, I felt a match being struck against my cheeks and they were blazing hot. "W-what makes y-y-you s-say that?" I tried brushing it off and failed. "I don't hear him denying it." Raihan continued along with the girls. "C'mon just ask her out, you two would make a cute couple." Gordie poked my arm with each word. "Aggghhhhh!!" My only reaction was flipping my hat over my face and hiding in my scarf.
They all stopped, after a few minutes I heard sobbing. Oh no! I quickly looked around to see the owner of the sobs, hoping it wasn't a certain person. My herb green eyes fell on the hill, she must be having that nightmare again, I rushed over and I was right.
(Flashback)
Milo and (y/n) are about 6 or 7
(Y/n) And I were playing under a huge apple tree, it was our meet up spot in the Dappled Grove. "I got you!" She shouted in success as she tackled me. "Yeah you got me but," I flipped us over and tackled her, "now I got you." She giggled loudly with a closed-eyed smile.
She stopped giggling and looked up past my face, "What's that?" She pointed to a pokemon stuck in a tree branch. "I think it's a Skwovet, stuck in the tree?" Skwovets were great climbers but, sometimes get themselves stuck when trying to make their berry stash unnoticeable. "Milo, can you free it?" She gave me an innocent look, my weakness. "Sure I guess."
I started climbing up to the Skwovet, man I didn't realize how high up it is, I thought clinging to each branch. A gust of wind blew and freed the Skwovet, I on the other hand wasn't so lucky. The tree creaked and swayed in the wind while (y/n) was frantically calling for help.
After about 20 minutes of clinging for dear life, help came. "Okay just jump down, we got you!" The rescue team called to me. Nodding I jumped down, though with the swaying tree I hit a few branches on the way down. They did catch me on a huge blowup thing, ensuring I didn't break my back.
(Y/n) was a sobbing mess as she did her best to keep me in sight through the medics. The medics said I broke my right wrist and left ankle in the fall, the news made my friend worse.
Short time skip
After they finished fixing me up, my parents and (y/n) came in. (Y/n)'s father didn't come home from work till late so she mostly stayed with us. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry if I hadn't asked you to save Skwovet you would be fine." She cried out when she saw me. "Hey if I hadn't who knows, maybe Skwovet would still be stuck. I'm fine though, stop crying over me." I reassured, rhythmically brushing my good hand through her (h/l) (h/c) hair.
She calmed down and gave a determined look, "I'll stay with you and keep you company." I smiled and yawned, "Sure thing, right now I want to sleep." (y/n) nodded and cuddled up on a couch, quickly falling asleep.
(End of flashback)
I watched as the girl sobbed a waterfall of tears through closed eyes. I remember that well, it's one of the reasons I'm more nervous now. Oh (y/n) why don't you remember the good parts, I brushed my hand through her soft hair, you scare me when you make me worry like this, the rest of our friends were watching from the picnic blanket.
"W-why... D.. Did... I a-ask... Him?" she said through sobs. How do I respond to this? I asked myself, I looked back at the others and quickly looked back to her. I felt my face heat and slowly rested her head on my lap, leaning my back against the rocks behind me.
"Hey, don't cry it's not real I'm okay." I continued brushing her hair, murmuring soft words of reassurance. I went to wipe tears from her face before they dried, though she grabbed my wrist and clung to it like she'd die if she let go. "M-Milo... Please d-d-don't... L-leave m...e." She opened her eyes by just a sliver. I gave (y/n) a gentle smile and nodded, "I won't, just please don't cry."
She stopped shedding her continuous tears and smiled weakly, "O...k-kay. Th . .. Thank y-you... For sca-scaring... T-the m-mon-monsters away." Monsters? Must be the nightmares, I wiped off the tears still left on her cheeks and looked down at the others. They all held worried and pleading gazes, when I nodded they all let out big sighs of relief. (Y/n) has fallen back asleep, this sleep was peaceful.
I chuckled softly, "What am I going to do with you?" I whispered.
New chapter my dudes, so I put some sadness yeah... I'm sorry if I made you cry. Longer chapter too, with the little writer's hole thing I thought it was cute. Not much else to say so with that
