"I was such a jerk!" I muttered to myself, frustrated at my own actions. I ran a hand threw my messy hair.  I messed up. I know I did. And, I've messed up in the past, but never as bad as this. She needed me, and I let her down, stomping all over her for what? To save my dignity? I squeezed my eyes shut as I hit my head against a tree, beating myself up.

-*A few moments prior*-

"Drew! Drew!" May gasped, stumbling up to me. I caught her before she hit the ground. She clasped onto my arms as if they were the last things holding her up over a cliff.

"I can't! I can't do it!" May cried, tears skiing down her face. Her beat red eyes were full of fear. 

"Can't do what?" I asked, wrapping my arms around her in an attempt to comfort her. 

"I can't do this, the fanboys, they found out where I live! This morning I woke up to a loud snapping of a tree branch outside of my window, and there was a fanboy watching me sleep! I don't feel safe in my own house anymore, I don't feel safe anywhere because where ever I am, they always seem to find me." Tears cascaded down her face as her words jumbled. She buried her face in my chest. My neck and ears started to get really hot. It spread to my face like a wild fire and it occurred to me that I was blushing. Hard. Only she could do this to me. With her cute chubby cheeks and gorgeous sapphire like eyes she always could make my heart run a marathon. 50 times. In a row. Wait what? I was so angry with myself for not protecting her and thinking of something like that, a comment came out of my mouth that I wish I could have jammed back in there.

"It's your fault for leaving the blinds open, and not being aware of your surroundings if people were following you or not, gosh May, your so naive," It sounded arrogant too. Shoot. I opened my mouth to apologize when she shoved me away from her with enough force to knock me to the ground, more tears cascading down her cheeks.

"Of course you would think something like that you stupid arrogant grasshead! I thought that I could trust you to help me, but apparently I couldn't have been more wrong. Why are you such a jerk to me?!" She ran off, tears falling after her. I cursed myself.

Now I'm here, living with her thinking I'm a jerk.

How am I supposed to fix this? It took me years to slowly gain her trust, to knock down the wall that incased her feelings. It seemed like she just rebuilt that wall in a matter of a few seconds. I kicked a tree. I was so disappointed in myself. 

I finally stood up and ran. Ran full speed with all of my might, hoping that that might take away some of the pain. I didn't know where I was going, and frankly, I didn't care. I needed to escape my feelings, and running seemed like the solution. I ran until I couldn't breathe and bent over heaving, gasping for air. I needed to collect myself and my feelings, and figure out my next move to fix this situation. A thought crossed my mind. 

If I was May, what would she do in this situation? And with that thought came an easy solution. I needed to find her and tell her how I feel. And I know exactly where May would go in a situation like this. A clearing in Petalburg Woods, her place that she went to to escape everything. I started running. May had brought me to her special place a few times before and we sat and talked there for hours. I smiled at that thought of just me and May, talking about everything and anything. My smile slowly faded as I arrived at the clearing and saw May sitting there curled up in a ball, all alone. 

"May!" I called out as I jogged up to her. She didn't move a muscle. I stood right infront of her and placed my hand on her shoulder. She flinched as I did this and snapped her head up. 

"How did you find me here?" She sniffled.

"You brought me to this place once. Remember?" I asked gently. She nodded, her eyes swirling with a mixture sadness and rage. There was a moment of silence as we looked at each other, trying to find the right words.

"Why are you such a jerk to me?!" She suddenly blurted. My ears and neck grew hot so I rubbed the back of my neck. I opened my mouth to say something but decided against it. I didn't trust myself with saying anything for fear of saying the wrong thing again.

"You're nice to every girl but me. You give them compliments, never dare to insult them or tease them, and are just so polite. Then, whenever everyone else is gone and it's just you and me, you just start throwing insult after insult! Why?! It even seems you like my beautifly more than you like me! So tell me why!" She sobbed in rage. My heart stopped. Somehow I knew this day would come. The day where she would question me. I thought it would be in a nicer situation but, I guess I can work with this. I hesitated.

"Tell me now Drew! I've put up with your bullcrap for 3 years!" May shouted. "I think I deserve to know why I've had to put up with your-" I cut her off.

"IT'S BECAUSE YOU KEEP COMING BACK!" I shouted. My eyes widened at my own harshness.

"May sorry I-" It was her turn to cut me off,

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I KEEP COMING BACK?" She shouted. I couldn't keep it cool.

"WHEN I FIRST MET YOU I WAS A BIG ARROGANT JERK! And no matter what I said or did, you still decided to STICK AROUND" I yelled.

"OH REALLY AND YOU'RE NOT A JERK RIGHT NOW?" She shouted angrily.

"I FELT AWFUL YET I STILL KEPT RUNNING INTO YOU AND YOU STILL WERE NICE TO ME," I exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" May asked softly, caught off guard by my response.

"I thought, maybe she feels the same way, so I stayed that way around you and only around you because I was nervous that if I changed you would find out." I explained softly. "I didn't want you to, you know, to find out," I said choking up.

"What? So the point is that you're hiding something from me and you're scared that I'm gonna find out...." May said softly. "I understand that you don't have to tell me your secrets if you don't trust me, I-" I walked towards her while she was talking. I sat in front of her and pulled her to my chest. She was surprised so she stopped talking. I felt my ears and back of my neck heat up again and it quickly spread to my face.

"May I, I do trust you, and I want you to know something but......" I choked on my words. My tongue felt heavy, I was never good at talking about my feelings.

"If you want me to know then why are you holding back?" She asked, still snuggled into my chest, more relaxed.

"I'm afraid," I admitted.

"Of what? I won't bite," She had her eyes closed and had a peaceful look on her face. What I didn't know was what was going through her mind.

-*Quick May Mind thing*-

Does he not trust me? I hope he does, because I trust him with my life, even though we sometimes argue. What is he trying to say though I'm gonna die of curiosity. He's so warm. His arms and chest are soft, I wonder. . . WAH! STOP, Don't think what he would look like with his shirt off!

-*Back to story*-

I noticed her cheeks turn really pink and her face kind of scrunched up.

"You ok?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Y-Yeah perfectly fine, just tell me please. She snuggled deeper into my chest and wrapped my arms around herself.

"May, I-I," I tried to speak but my voice wasn't working.

"Just spit it out!" She exclaimed, her sapphire eyes piercing through mine. I gulped. I shut my eyes quickly. 

"Actions speak louder than words," I said, words tumbling out.

"What?" She said confused. "Huh?!" She exclaimed when I brushed her hair out of her face.

"Drew, what are you do-" I silenced her by pressing my lips against hers.

". . !? . ." May was shocked. I could tell. She was stiff for a few seconds. Then, when I thought it was all a mistake, she melted into me. She started kissing me back. I knew I was going to lose it. I wondered if she understood what I was trying to get across to her. It was filled with compassion that I felt for her, and wondered if she could tell. Wondered if she was feeling the same way. Heart racing, palms hot and clammy, face sweating. All from her. From chasing her. Both physically and emotionally. Finally we had to break apart for air. I made sure to linger on her lips for a couple of seconds and smirked on her lips, before finally retreating, feeling quite shocked and a bit proud at my bold move.

"What the heck Drew!?" May exclaimed. She tried to get away but my arms that she had wrapped around herself were holding her tightly.

"You have no right to talk," I said.

"What!?" She exclaimed.

"You kissed me back," I said matter of factly. She looked like a deer in headlights.

"I-I wasn't thinking straight!" She exclaimed.

"Oh really. . ?" I said softly moving closer again.

-May POV-

I just couldn't get the feeling off of my lips. That stupid jerk. I couldn't help it. He was drawing me deeper. I've been crushing on him hard for so long and now I didn't know how to take it.

"I just wasn't thinking straight!" I replied to him, but it was more to myself than anything. My heart was speeding, pounding so hard, I was sure he could probably hear it.

"Oh really. . ?" He mewed softly, inching closer to my face again. My face felt like it was getting a sun burn. I was blushing that hard. Truth be told half of me wanted him to kiss me again so badly but the other half of me wanted to hang on to my pride for a little bit longer. For as long as I could, even though my lips were aching for his again.

"But, Drew-" Once again he pressed his lips against mine. I tried to resist. Closing my eyes tightly. Trying to get out of his grip. I couldn't. It wasn't worth it. He was taking advantage of me wasn't he? He knew and was toying with my feelings wasn't he?! I finally shoved his lips off of mine and tried to break free but his grip grew tighter.

"May, please stop!" His eyes were full with hurt. "Please stop trying to leave, I want you to stay with me, actually I need you to stay!" His eyes widened and I saw him gulp. He sighed. "May, I-I, erg I'm sorry, May I," He paused. "Alright you stupid brain, stupid mouth, stupid heart!" He shouted. I was so confused. I didn't realized I had stopped struggling.

"Huh?" I asked.

"May please I," He stuttered. My eyes widened. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt hot tears form in my eyes, threating to fall like waterfalls down my face.

"You knew didn't you, YOU KNEW HOW I FELT AND USED IT AGAINST ME, YOU KNEW HOW I FELT ABOUT YOU!" I screamed, wiggling and hitting and kicking all in an attempt to break free from his grasp. The tears kept coming. I saw his dazzling green eyes fill with anger. His grip on me tightened even more.

"I WOULD HAVE NEVER, EVER DONE SOMETHING LIKE THAT!! WHAT THE, wait, feelings?" He asked. My eyes widened, and I stopped struggling. I went limp. He didn't know how I felt about him, then that means... My eyes widened.

"May, what I was trying to say earlier was that, that I, I love you. I love you so much. I-I can't, I can't think of a life without you, I'm sorry for what I said earlier it just slipped out, I'm sorry, If you don't feel the same way it's fine, but I-I, before that, I just have to, I'm sorry, I might not get the chance to again" He said, stumbling on his words. He seemed so nervous, like his entire body was just composed of nerves. 

I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. Just like that, he planted his lips on mine. I gave in, I did love him too, after all. I wrapped my arms around him and pressed my lips against his. I didn't want it to end. Never. We had to break apart for air though.

". . ."

"Drew, I-I love you too, more than anything I-I want to be with you," I said.

"Ok, then you wouldn't mind be The Drew Hayden's girlfriend?" He smiled at me, genuinely.

"Of course I wouldn't mind" I smiled back. He planted a small kiss again on my lips, not as long not as passionate but still pretty meaningful. That's when I heard the click of a camera, Drew heard it too, he pulled away quickly. We looked around for the perpetrator.

"This is going in Coodenator's Weeeeeeekkkllllyyyyyyyy~" A woman said in a sing song tone.

"WHAT THE? SOLIDAD!?"
