Max smiled and gently grabbed her hand. "Let go then, I know a
pretty good place." He said softly and covered his mouth with his
free arm when he sneezed.
~•~•~
Nami smiled and nudged Kip in a greeting. "Hey." Scar said gently
and walked over to Theo. "You ready to go?" She asked softly.
Max nodded and yawned. "Yeah sure. We can stop there first, let me
just go get dressed and we can go." He said gently and smiled. He
let go of Deirdre's hand and headed to his room, and passed a
picture of him and Deirdre together when Deirdre was seven and Max
was six almost seven, it was taken a few days before their
argument, and was taken on a camping trip Tiger, Lion, and their
families went on.
~•~•~
Nami smiled and followed her trainer. "About time she said
something about her crush." She laughed to Kip kindly and was
glad Scar wasn't able to understand her.
Scar blushed and smiled. She gently grabbed Theo's hand and headed
for town.
(should we do a flashback for that argument Max and Deirdre had
some time.)
In the picture was Max grinning gleefully with Suko, who was a
Cyndaquil, on his head. He had lost a battle to Deirdre, and it was
prominent in a few bandages both him and Suko had. Though, they
looked happy, Deirdre was in the picture with a smile and Iza
looked happy about the Victory. Max walked out of his room and had
a comb in his hand as he had just finished his hair. He was wearing
a black shirt and blue jeans as his usual attire was soaked
still.
~•~•~
Nami nodded in agreement and smiled. "Exactly!"
Scar smiled at Theo and gently placed her head on his shoulder as
they walked.
"Thanks, and you did." Max said with a smile and walked over to
Deirdre. "You won that battle, but I didn't mind, it was a fun
fight." He said softly and smiled.
~•~•~
Nami nodded in agreement and laughed. "I know!" She said
cheerfully.
"No. I just think you're comfortable." Scar whispered softly and
smiled at Theo. "I just love to be next to you." Scar said with a
small smile.
Max frowned and nodded, he shook his head clear as he tried to get
rid of the memory from that fight. "N-no that big fight wasn't fun
at all." He whispered.
(Should we do the flash back now?)
~•~•~
"I'm doing great!" Nami said happily and smiled at Kip. The
Squirtle yawned for a second. "You?"
Scar smiled and looked at Theo for a moment. "So random question.
How long have I been oblivious to your crush on me?" She asked more
so out of curiosity. "You don't have to answer if you don't want
to." She blurted out in embarrassment and looked at the ground.
“Yeah. Hey. You okay?” Deirdre frowned and turned, huffing him from
behind.
—-
Kip nodded and grinned. ”I’m always great!” he beamed.
Theo thought for a second. “Six years.” He replied with a smile.
“You know, if all this stuff makes you nervous or bothers you, I
can stop talking—“ he frowned.
Max sighed and glanced at Deirdre. "Just thinking about that
fight." He whispered softly and sighed as he was unfortunately
brought back to that day.
~•~•~
The sun was high signifying around noon. Max was in Hoenn due to
the fact that is father had a conference and his class was out for
Spring break. He was walking through the town near Deirdre and
Scar's school. He ran down a path with Suko by his side. "Okay!
Today I'm gonna tell Deirdre how I feel!" He said cheerfully.
~•~•~
"That's great!" Nami said gleefully.
Scar blinked and gently wrapped her arms around him. "No, it
doesn't bother me or make me nervous." She said quielt and looked
into Theo's eyes. "Umm... I'm sorry I never noticed." She whispered
softly and kissed his cheek.
Max blinked and looked over to Deirdre for a moment. "Sorry." He
whispered and tried to shake his head clear.
~•~•~
Max was nearing the schoolyard. He saw the older student nearly
trip Deirdre. "Hey!" He called out loudly.
~•~•~
Nami chuckled in amusement and went back to Scar.
Scar giggled and smiled at Theo happily. She wrapped her arms
around him and held him tight. "If it makes you feel any better, I
thought you were cute for six years, but I was too afraid to tell
you." She admitted quietly.
