Prepare for everything. That was what a smart traveler would do. However May was certainly not prepared. All she ever carried around was her fanny pack. While stylish (in her mind at least) it did not have a very large capacity. There was no way she could have fit a coat in there, no matter how much she forced it. So stupid, dumb her thought, 'who needs a coat anyway?'

She did. It was the beginning of December. While it was cold she was mostly fine. Until the sky decided to spit massive clumps of snowflakes making her wet and cold. The sky was beginning to dark into an inky black, and the snow spiraled around her, making it hard to see anything.

She was lost. She knew there was nowhere nearby she could go to. She was going to die. Out there, in the snow, without a coat, freezing to death. An untimely death for such a young girl of 16. Still she kept trying to trudge on, the quickly piling snow freezing her ankles.

She began waving, side to side, her chestnut hair swishing back in forth in its droopy dog ear fashion. Her eyelids were trying to cave in over her sapphire eyes, but she kept trying to stay awake through the cold biting at her numb skin, burning in contrast. Her nose and cheeks were red, irritated by the cold wind striking her face.

She kept walking aimlessly, until her vision began to blur in and out of focus. Suddenly, her sight went black, and she collapsed to the ground. The snow parted around her figure as fresh flakes began to cover her unconscious body.

Drew grumpily tugged the collar of his big fluffy coat. He shoved his mitten covered hands in his pockets, and forced his way through the snow with his snow boots. Out of nowhere, one of his Pokemon let himself out. It was absol. The white furred Pokemon pointed his nose and began to sniff. His nose twitched.

"Sol..." The Pokemon said in focus. Drew watched curiously as he felt the wind whipping his green hair into his face. Suddenly, absol's tail pointed straight.

"Absol!!" He cried. Disaster had struck. Absol began to take off, but slowed by the snow, Drew chased after him. After running for about five to ten minutes, absol stopped and started digging its claws into the snow. Immediately, Drew saw a figure in the snow.

He quickly kneeled down and frantically began to shovel the snow with his mitten covered hands. His heart skipped a beat and his breath hitched in his throat when he uncovered the face. May, that stupid girl. He began to dig faster with absol's aid.

He dug her up and took off his coat, putting it on her. He was furious to see she was not dressed appropriately for the situation. He picked her up and put her over his shoulder, pulling out his pokenav with the other. He got a signal and was able to locate the nearest Pokemon center, not too far away.

"Absol! Return!" Drew said, pointing a pokeball at absol which proceeded to suck him in with an orange beam. Drew moved around his pocket to find the pokeball he was looking for and threw it. The ball cracked open and a beam shot out taking the form of a green dragon.

"Come on Flygon! I need your help!

May was very comfortable. She sunk further into the warmth of the water. Not too hot, not too cold, but perfect. However, her comfort was short lived as her fingers, toes, nose and cheeks angrily burned.

Then, the events of before came back. Trudging through the cold snow and falling. The fear of looming death.

She opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. She was laying in a bath, fully clothed in a small bathroom with a toilet in front of her, facing the side and a long single vanity that was next to the toilet and ended at both walls. It was the sort of bathroom in the Pokemon center rooms.

Suddenly the door opened. She immediately recognized the person who stepped in. Usually his emerald eyes had a smug look to them, and superiority, but now they held a look she had never seen before. At least in his eyes. Concern, and pure anger.

"D-Drew?" May stuttered, her face heating up.

"How are you feeling?" He asked as he walked over and kneeled down beside the tub.

"My hands, feet, and face burn, but other than that, I feel okay," May answered truthfully, avoiding his piecing gaze. There was a pause.

"What happened?" Both asked at the same time. May bushed.

"Um, I was trying to get to the Pokemon center when it started snowing. I didn't have a coat or anything, so I was trying to get there as fast as I could, but the snow was falling so fast, and it was dark.

I couldn't see, and as the snow kept piling up, it was harder to move. I was cold, and tired and I couldn't stay awake anymore. I fell to the ground, and the snow felt warmer than the air, and I guess I fell asleep," May explained. Drew frowned.

"Why were you dressed in that? Don't you have a coat? You should be prepared for anything, you've been traveling for six years May!" Drew exclaimed.

"I don't carry a lot around with me! I don't want my back to be broken!" May said annoyed at him for yelling at her.

"I dug you out of the snow. I would have never known if it wasn't for absol who sensed something wrong. What if I wasn't there? You could've died! I was scared I didn't get you here in time! You need to take care of yourself! I don't think I'm comfortable letting you travel alone like this," Drew said, explaining a bit of his story.

"Well I'm my own person and I can take care of myself!" May huffed.

"I beg to differ seeing as I was trying one who dug you out of the snow!" Drew exclaimed.

"I don't need your help or pity, whatever, I learned my lesson," May huffed. Drew kneeled down and put his hands on her shoulders.

"This isn't about pity! It's looking out for your general safety because I genuinely care!" Drew said seriously, his emerald eyes staring right through her. May opened her mouth to say something, but closed it.

"You had me so scared. I thought I was going to lose you," Drew's voice faded into a whisper. May was in shock. It was very unlike Drew to express his emotions openly to anyone at all. He sighed before slipping his arms under hers, and lifting her out the tub. He tossed a towel at her, and it landed on her head.

"Get dry, I'm sure you have a pair of dry clothes you've managed to shove in that pathetic bag of yours," Drew said, leaving her bag on the counter. He closed the door behind him.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Much warmer but still wet, May left the bathroom feeling a lot better. The room had two twin beds across from each other against the wall. Drew was sitting one the bed across from her.

"Thank you," May said, closing the bathroom door.

"Whatever, but tomorrow we're getting you a better bag, and you can't convince me otherwise," Drew said, not looking at her with an annoyed expression. May huffed and grabbed the disposable coffee cup and threw it at him, gently hitting his head. He growled and glared at her.

"This is serious business, you klutz," Drew said. He rummaged through his bag and found his toothpaste and tooth brush before heading into the bathroom. May searched around for her fanny pack, and dug through it, pulling out her toothpaste and brush as well. She reached the grab the handle only to find it wasn't there, but in the hands of the person who she just crashed into their chest. She grew very flustered.

"S-Sorry!" She squeaked as she shut the door behind him. Her face was a bright red while she brushed her teeth. She looked in the mirror wondering how to get it to stop. She couldn't. All she could think about was stupid Drew. She once again left the bathroom and sat on her bed.

"Geez, I thought you fell in in there or something, you have me shaken up," Drew smirked.

"Well I didn't, and I'll be fine once I get a bigger backpack and more supplies,"

"I don't trust you to leave this area alone," Drew said, his emerald eyes bore in to hers, gently laced with concern.

"Whatever, just where do you plan on getting me a backpack?" May asked.

"What made you think I was going to get it for you? You have your own money," Drew smirked at her.

"I may have to do a withdrawal," May admitted.

"You're not prepared for anything. I'm surprised you've lasted this long as is," Drew said.

"I am prepared!" May huffed. Drew stood up and took a step forward.

"Oh really," he said smugly.

"What are you doing?" May asked curiously as Drew kept advancing. Suddenly, his index and middle finger were gently holding her neck up.

"I bet you weren't prepared for that," he whispered in her ear as his fingers slid up to her chin before releasing her. May shivered.

"W-What?! This doesn't relate!" May blushed, her face a deep red. Drew leaned in again, his mouth ghosting her cheek.

"But it does," he said simply. May whimpered.

"Stop that," she whispered.

"How will you handle yourself, May?" He teased softly right by her lips. His eyes met hers as his hands reached up to gingerly cup her face. May and Drew's eyes began to automatically shut as he layed a quick timid kiss on her lips. May's eyelids rose lowly as she studied Drew's somewhat embarrassed expression. 

May took a slow deep breath before slipping her arms around his neck and pulling her closer to him, suspending right before contact. She held for a moment, drastically increasing the tension. He kissed her harder that time. May's arms tightened around his neck as he slid his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to his chest. He pressed harder against her lips sinking deeper into the kiss. They had to part for air, gasping for breath.

"Hey Drew?" May said shyly, her voice quiet.

"huh?" He responded, his arms still wrapped around her. He rested his head on hers.

"I think I like you," she said, unsurely.

"I didn't think you were prepared to confess," Drew joked.

"All right Mr. Smartypants I get it," May huffed in annoyance. He planted a soft kiss on her head.

"You better. You're not freezing on my watch, or anything else for the matter," Drew said.

"Good thing I'm not on your watch," May giggled.

"Oh, but your coming with me, so you will be," Drew said.

"Hmm, I don't recall wanting to go with you," May teased. Drew capture her lips again.

"How about now?" He asked.

"Maybe I consider it," she said as she snuggled up into his arms.

Anyways, I hope this was more than satisfactory! I had a lot of fun actually writing this one-shot! Also, thank you guys for being patient with me, things have just been a bit rough lately, but I'm okay now.
