Feeling a deep twisted, knotting feeling in his stomach, something similar to that of nausea yet quite different, something just like ‘having butterflies in one’s stomach’ except intensified. Allowing a sharp shaky breath to escape him, stiffening in his posture, Red felt the urge to move away quickly from the girl, to get away from the anxious feelings muddled in with uncertainty as well as a slight feeling of self-consciousness. What the hell was this? The raven-haired male was always quite certain and confident about himself, he never felt nervous around others, he never fell apart to that extent around everyone else, hell he kept up his composure even around the tortuous and brutal forces of Team Rocket. He never once felt so scattered, nauseous, and light-headed as he did right now. Glancing around sharply, crimson eyes narrowed, carefully searching within the confines of the small and comfy carriage of the massive Ferris Wheel, Red began to attempt to find the source of his strong feelings of anxiety. Was there any danger lurking about here? Were the two about to be assaulted by something deadly hiding within the shadows of the confines of the tiny carriage they were i-
The boy found himself being cut off sharply as the sweet sound of the brunette’s gentle voice reached his ears, prompting him to break off from his sharp and overly analytical glances and give the girl his full attention as she spoke after giggling. Struggling a little, the crimson-eyed male kept his sharp, composed expression plastered onto his face in a desperate attempt to hide away any of those scattered and wild emotions, still churning, and he nodded at Mei’s words, finding his ever-so-carefully placed expression faltering a little and shifting to that of a gentler expression he usually wore around Blue. The words lost in his throat, the sharp and knotting, nausea in the pit of his stomach growing more intense by the second, only proving to suddenly sharpen the moment the girl’s small, warm hand intertwined with Red’s pale, cooler one. Allowing a light gasp of surprise to escape his throat, barely audible to anyone else yet blaringly loud to him, the pale boy then glanced off to the side, a slight tint of faded pink rising to his usually near sickly pale cheeks. What the- What the hell was wrong with him? These reactions, these feelings, this odd sense of comfort he felt with someone who he hadn’t even known for a single month… was he sick or something? At the sound of Mei’s sudden sigh, crimson eyes flickered over only to catch the side of the brunette’s face as it reddened in color considerably. Was she sick too? Huh, no…. no matter how much he repeated it inside his head, the reasoning for these odd actions and feelings seemed to be different then what the champion kept on tellling himself.
Based off what he had heard as well as his own personal experiences back when he was a young and rambunctious, hot-headed young boy on his journey whereas he had developed a slight and brief crush on Kasumi, the only explanation for this scenario could only be that this was a crush. Oh Arceus how these crushes seemed to linger about and cause loads of emotional turmoil for the one afflicted by it. While at the same time, it brought an odd sense of joy and happiness, it also caused for awkward situations, and completely bizarre behaviour, even the a strange boy like Red himself. Carefully intaking breaths, Red thought back to when the two first met each other. Red could remember that upon seeing the girl, he was quite irritated at her being late for their meeting, however at the same time, he automatically felt like he couldn’t really be truly angry with her since she seemed so sweet and cheerful, it was quite the odd and rare occurence for the young hot-tempered male however he ignored it and got straight down to business. During their conversation back then within the small confines of the warm and brightly colored Pokemon Centre at a small wooden table they had managed to pull over. The more time that ellapsed, the more Red had found himself peering at the younger girl, studying her features while continuing their conversation. During their travels in order to complete that one task, the boy found himself feeling a little light in the stomach but, easily shook it off.
How though, he couldn’t avoid this sort of thing, it was apparent that he had a crush on Mei and by the looks of it so did she. Swallowing nervously, Red slightly opened his mouth to say something when with a sudden halt, the carriage screeched and ceased moving causing the brunette to fall into Red with a light thud, their noses only a few centimetres apart, both of the young trainers too shocked to even move away. Huffing lightly, his cheeks heating up slightly more, the raven-haired male leaned in a little closer and did something he hadn’t done in quite some time due to the constant nagging of others. Red lightly and briefly kissed Mei on the lips before pulling away and cooly saying;
“It appears that the Ferris Wheel has made an abrupt stop…. so I supposed that it was a proper opportunity to give a proper greeting since it must’ve seemed rude when I didn’t greet you earlier. It’s a little weird I suppose but, a kiss is like a greeting to me… besides that I suppose I should just be straightforward about this and inform you of this but… um….”
Red quickly found his formal tone fading off, the words he had wanted to say lost in the moment, his anxiety spiking to the point where he couldn’t even speak. Glancing away and onto the floor of the carriage, studying the solid color of the flooring, a few minutes passed by before he roughly muttered “… I like you….”
