"Hey Yellow."
"Yes, Red?"
"Now that it's in the direct sunlight, I can see that your hair is absolutely beautiful."
"What?! T-t-thank y-you Red..."
My face was more red than the world's angriest charizard. I never expected Red to say something like that out of the blue.
Earlier today, I had received a call from Red, asking me if I wanted to watch some clouds with him. Seeing that I had nothing better to do, I hurried myself over to his location. We have been watching clouds for hours, seeing ones shaped from anything to psyducks to sandiles. I never expected Red to act like this, since he was ALWAYS training. I guess he wanted to take a break.
"Do you do anything special with your hair, Yellow?" He asked with a big grin on his face.
I flushed again. "Nothing o-out of the ordinary, I guess."
"That's interesting. I'm glad we could spend the day together." He said, a faint blush detectable on his cheeks.
"Me too." I giggled, looking away.
For a while now, I had been wanting to tell Red about how I felt about him. He was more than a friend to me. I was indebted so much to him, like when he saved me from that dratini so many years ago, or when he held me in his arms when we were frozen. I don't know if he feels the same, but I would be okay with just being friends.
"So, I guess Blue and Green are dating, huh?" Red asked, breaking me out of my trance.
"Hilarious, isn't it?" I laughed. I never expected them to get together, especially since they argue so much.
"Speaking of romance, Yellow, I asked you to come for a reason." He said, his face becoming serious.
I shifted on the ground awkwardly. I could only manage an "Okay."
He put his hand on my shoulder. Not typical Red behavior.
"Yellow, I just wanted to thank you for all the fun years we've had together, the training, the laughter, and much more. You even nursed me back to health when I defeated Giovanni. I just wanted to give you something in return."
I was a little thrown off, but nonetheless a little excited. Like a kid in a candy store.
"What do you want to give me, Red?" I asked him after a period of sweet silence.
Suddenly, without cue or warning, he took his hand, and pushed my chin up slightly as he kissed me.
Unbelievable. That was the first word that came to mind. I NEVER, in my life, would've thought that Red could really show this kind of emotion. He was always, well, how do I put it...dense. But right now, he was so gentle, a quality I've never seen him exude, and with such power and grace.
He pulled away, and suddenly hugged me.
"My eternal, undying, passionate love. I have meditated a long time about you Yellow, and I want you to be mine. Will you?" He said as he released me, and stared at me lovingly.
My stomach somersaulted repeatedly as I looked into his deep crimson eyes. This was like a dream come true. It was like, when I was four years old, and all I wanted to be was a princess in a big castle, and to fall in love with a handsome prince on a white horse. I could never have imagined this when I was that little and naive.
"I-I..." I was lost for words.
"I love every little thing about you Yellow, from your hair to your voice to your smile to your favorite things to do. How does that make you feel?" He whispered.
"I feel the same way about you too, Red." I said quietly.
We both sat down on the grass, but as I sat down, he suddenly pulled me to his lap as he sat Indian-style. I took advantage of my position and rested my head on his chest. He put his arms around my waist protectively.
He leaned in close. "I will protect you always."
"I will love you always." I replied.
Sorry if Red was a little OOC there, he was just so serious!
