I don't own Pokemon.

Quiet

Ash Ketchum was sitting in a Pokemon Center in Snowpoint City as he waited for his pokemon to be done being checked over.

He was thinking about how he felt towards a certain someone.

"Man oh man. I can't get him off my mind. Why can't I shake this feeling off and just go on with my life?" thought Ash, running a hand through his hair before placing his hat back on his head.

While he was sitting there, he noticed someone walk into the Center and he started to sweat and quickly looked away.

"Why must he be here right now?!" thought Ash with a blush on his face.

The person looked his way and noticed the teen before heading over and sitting next to him.

"What's wrong with you? You normally come over and bug me." said Paul, looking over at the raven-haired teen.

The teen didn't answer, causing the purple-haired teen to raise an eyebrow and look at him strangely.

"Come on, tell me what's wrong?" asked Paul, turning toward the chocolate-eyed teen.

The teen in question looked down at his feet before looking at Paul.

"I don't know how to tell you this, but…I like you, Paul. A lot." said Ash, blushing super hard while looking at the purple-haired teen.

The teen blushed before answering the raven-haired teen.

"Ash, I like you too. I was wondering when you were going to say something." said Paul, his voice relaxed and not hostile.

They smiled at each other before they got closer and shared their first kiss.

Brock and Dawn had gotten Ash's pokemon and were heading back to return them to him when they saw the sight.

They smiled and left the two alone in their quiet time.
