Quick one-shot while it was on my mind. Enjoy.

I don't own Pokémon.

LANGUAGE

May could read Ash like an open book. And she liked it.

The subtle cues.

Twitching eyes when he came shopping with her. Fear.

Fire in his eyes when he was challenged to a battle. Passion.

Gentle petting of Pikachu's head. Love.

Stiffening whenever she kissed him. Uncertainty.

Scratching his cheek when confronted about their public displays of affection. Embarrassment.

The not-so-subtle cues.

A strong pokéball throw. Confidence.

90° hat-turn. Strong opponent.

180° hat-turn. Stronger opponent.

Giving his hat to Pikachu to wear. No restrain.

Enveloping his strong arms around her. Protection.

Oh yes, May could read Ash like an open book. And she definitely loved it.

Really short for some reason, even for my standards. Oh well.

Hoping to become a lot more regular than posting once every couple of months, especially if the stuff I write is going to be this short.
