Ocean Queen & Farm Boy

Ocean Queen: hey

hey??

Hey.

wanna catch a flying taxi to Wyndon Stadium perhaps?

oK

Farm Boy: yes

Ocean Queen: alright, I'll meet up with you at your farm so we can both catch one.

...

They were sat in the back seat of the flying taxi, going over Hammerlocke at this point, the weather was clear, but the air wasn't, it was filled with tension. A silence stretched out between the two, unwavering, deafening, silence. Nessa tried to break it. 

"So Milo-" She started, cut off before she could even start to talk or bring up a point. "Don't," His voice was soft but firm, giving her a firm warning to not press the topic anymore.

"But you don't even-" Yet again, she was interrupted by Milo/ 

"It's gonna be about the situation about what happened in the group chat, right? I just-" He let out a heavy sigh, curling up on himself a bit as he faced away from her and towards the window. "Don't wanna talk about it, I was considering..." His voice faded into the silence, leaving Nessa quirking an eyebrow 

"What?" Nessa asked. "Nothing," Milo crushed off, turning away from her as much as he could. "What were you considering Milo?" She prodded, he harshly turned around towards her, an aggravated but upset look on his face. Eyebrows furrowing, not in anger but in frustration that Nessa refused to drop the subject. 

"I was considering resigning Nessa! I have, ever since that stupid kid, Bede put those words into my head since the first battle... It's..." His voice faltered to a whisper. " It's been all I could think about for a while, and hearing it come from one of my friends? It was just too much to handle, this all is," His voice started to be barely hearable, his voice shaking as he spoke.

"But we need you here Milo, without you were nothing!" She stressed, hands curling into fists. "' Nothing'? Really, don't try and pull that on me Nessie but I'm the weakest gym leader, almost every gym leader that faces against me wins, I'm not as strong as you or the others." Milo denied lip curling into a downward turned crescent.

"And so what? You have to hold back against the trainers since most of them are kids, but even with you holding back your challenge is difficult enough as it, no one else would have been able to do that except you. If you didn't need to hold back no one would be able to pass your gym! You could probably face against most of the gym trainers here and win. And so what if you lose? That doesn't mean you aren't as capable as the rest of us." Nessa consoled. 

"Nessie, you don't have to say that-"

"Look, Milo, how many times have I lied to you?"

"Quite a few, actually," Milo glanced towards the side, and Nessa found a slight dust of heat, dust across her cheeks. "Okay, but what were those about?"

"That you weren't gonna prank mE- ooh. Oh, I get the point yer making." Milo spluttered. "Exactly, I haven't lied to unless it was to play a harmless trick on you, so why would I lie to you about something that isn't one?" Nessa inquired, head titled.

"...You wouldn't,"

"And you wanna know why that I wouldn't lie to you like that?" Nessa inquired, placing a hand on each of his shoulders. Milo gave her a simple nod. "Because... You like, matter to me a lot Milo, a lot. And I know I don't always act on it but you're special to me. In the best way possible,"

"Nessa, are you?..." His head tilted to the side, a pink tint finding it's way to his freckles cheeks. 

"Yes Milo, I am, you don't have to say yes if you need time to think I understand along with if you don't want to be in a relationship, that's fine." Nessa confirmed. "Nessie, I'm not against us being together I'd just rather... Take it slow, one step at a time, especially with everything that's happened and all," Milo said.

"That's fine, we'll need to set out some ground rules but besides that, we can take it slow, I don't mind,"  Nessa reassured, a small smile finding it's way on her lips. "Thank you," He spoke. 

The rest of the way to Wyndon was bathed in the same silence, neither bothering to break the peaceful silence with their hands interlocked.
