Stay With Me

Chapter 11: What Confession Brings

A/N I am terrible at lovey-dovey stuff. This chapter will be kinda stupid and rushed.

-Leafy

(Name)'s head was spinning. She had just admitted that she loved Gary Oak. She always knew she felt something for him, but she just never was able to realize it.

"Espeon, help me, I think I'm going crazy," she whispered to her purple Pokemon, who snickered smugly.

'Translation: 'About time you finally realized your true feelings.' (Name) rolled her eyes as she read Espeon's translation.

"Let's go back to the apartment." (Name) began to walk, before her translator beeped once more.

'Translation: You are confessing, right?' (Name) rolled her eyes once again. Did Espeon think she was crazy?

"No," (Name) said bluntly. "Don't talk about it, Espeon.' Espeon just snickered again as trainer and Pokemon arrived at their destination. (Name) unlocked the apartment door after taking the elevator up to find Gary sleeping on the couch.

"Espi! Espeon!" Espeon cried suddenly, waking Gary up. He jolted awake, sitting up quickly.

"...(Name)?" he asked nervously as soon as he saw the (h/c)-haired girl. (Name) frowned. Why was he so nervous all of a sudden?

"Hi, Gary," she replied stiffly. She could't stop thinking about her and Ash's conversation.

There was an awkward pause as the two teens stared at each other for a span of a few seconds...

"Eh... sorry," (Name) said sheepishly, breaking away from the gaze and going to the refrigerator to get a snack.

"Dense much?" Gary muttered under his breath. He couldn't help but wonder if the girl was even smart enough to notice his change in behavior, for Pete's sake!

"What was that?" (Name) asked, yawning, even though it was only about 3:00 in the afternoon.

"...Nothing," Gary replied bluntly. (Name) was too busy thinking to pay attention to his response.

"That's nice. I... I'm gonna go take a nap." She did another fake yawn and set Espeon's snack on the ground. "Espeon, share with Umbreon." (Name) then quickly rushed to her bedroom and slammed the door.

"She sure is antsy today," Gary uttered to himself. He might've thought (Name) was being dense, but little did he know, HE was also being dense, maybe even more so. "Umbreon, come out."

"Umbri!" Umbreon walked over to join Espeon at the food bowl. Gary laid down and closed his eyes peacefully.

"Maybe I should pull a (Name) and take a nap as well..." he said aloud as he let sleep take over him.

Espeon's P.O.V. (Because I can)

"Did you get Gary to admit that he likes (Name)?" I asked Umbreon. He shook his head. "No?!"

"I didn't get him to admit that he likes (Name). I got him to admit that he LOVES her," Umbreon explained. I grinned, high-pawing him.

"(Name) admitted that she loves him too! But how do we get them together? That's the real question," I considered. Umbreon looked thoughtful.

"It's going to be hard. Those two will never admit that they like each other for a million PokeDollars," he pointed out. I sweat-dropped because I know it's true.

"We have to FORCE them to admit then," I said matter-of-factly. Umbreon just stared at me.

"How are we supposed to do that?" he asked incredulously. I let a dark smirk take over my face.
