Well...uh...today at Lake Verity was...interesting...
It looked rainy all day, and I didn't really want to go, but Mars and Archie dragged me there anyway, as usual...We kinda sightsaw for a little bit, because that's what tourists do or whatever, but it still looked really, really rainy...
Then Mars damn her said she was going to go look for Mesprit in the cave in the middle of the lake, and when we offered to come with her, she said no damn her because having tons of people would scare off Mesprit damn her. And therefore Archie and I stayed outside while she went into the cave, so of course I'm left with the idiot Wailord and a ton of water and a sky that looked like it was going to open at any second.
We just kinda stood there talking - I'm surprised I didn't end up pushed into the lake for something, Mew knows what - until it started drizzling. And then it starting raining. And then it started pouring. So we're getting rained on, which is the most lovely thing in the world, let me tell you, and we both dashed under a tree, which helped a little but not much because it was still wet and absolutely freezing. I must have been shivering or something because Archie, that idiot, was all like, "YOU LOOK COLD~!" and then basically tackled me (he called it a hug; I call it assault -_-). So of course I'm protesting and yelling at him to get off me before I punch him in the face or something along those lines when we hear thunder.
I'm not sure how obvious I made it, but I'm kinda nervous about thunderstorms.
We didn't see lightning or anything, but the thunder was loud enough that I kinda froze a bit, and Archie apparently got the idea in his thick skull that that meant I approved of his "hug". Which I most certainly did not. He let go of me for all of five seconds, and before I could even think freedom he'd wrapped his jacket around my shoulders and then tackled me again. I would have protested, but his jacket was pretty damn warm, so I just kinda dealt with it. Then it got a little bit colder, and the thunder got a little louder, and the rain came down a HELL OF A LOT harder, and I decided being the absolute MORON that I am sometimes that I would probably be a bit more comfortable if I moved a bit closer to Archie, because then I'd be warmer or whatever. So I did. Yeah, it was an idiot move, but I was super sneaky about it and I'm pretty sure he didn't notice so... It was all fine and dandy until the next thunder crash, which was really loud, and I cringed and it was apparently very noticeable.
So what does the idiot do then? He starts stroking my hair. What the hell? I REFUSE to admit that it made me feel any better, because it most certainly did NOT. What do I do in response? Absolutely nothing. That's how content SHOCKED I was at his absolute idiocy. Granted, the Wailord has done some idiotic things before, but nothing topped this. At least, not until what happened next.
We had been sitting in silence because what the hell are you supposed to say when your rival starts frickin petting you?! for a few minutes, and Archie took a breath as if he was about to say something. And so I looked up at him, because that's the polite thing you do when someone is talking to you, you look at them! And I don't know what he had meant to say, but what he said was definitely NOT what he had meant to say, because all of the sudden, he just blurted out, "I really like you! ...N-No, I...I think I love you!"
(ahem) WHAT?! (<-- my internal reaction)
...so yeah, I had no idea how to react. But apparently, I should have reacted, because, since I didn't, Archie started blabbering incoherently like an absolute moron and confusing me even more than he already had, and he just kept going on and on and on, and I tried to stop him a few times but I don't think he heard me because he was too busy being an idiot, so finally I basically screamed at him to SHUT UP.
And then...I don't even know what happened...but I...well...sh*t I can't even type it...I...I KISSED HIM, OKAY?! >//////< THERE. It...It wasn't all that long...It just kinda...happened...and then it was done, and he was staring at me and I didn't really know what to do, so I just kinda mumbled that I loved him, too. Because I...I think I really do >//<
And then he hugged me. Just like that. He just hugged me like it was completely alright that I had just made an absolute fool of myself in front of him. And that was it. I...can't believe I'm saying this, but I almost broke down in his arms. You'd think it lasted forever, that stupid hug...But finally he pulled away a bit, and neither of us had noticed before that, but it had stopped raining...And then he just started beaming at me. Like an idiot. An absolute idiot. But you know what? I guess he's my idiot.
You know, I kinda like the sound of that...
We just kinda sat there for a little bit afterwards. We didn't do all that much talking, but that's okay because I don't think we needed to. Oh but there was one conversation that I guess was semi-important... It kinda went like this:
"We should carve our initials into the tree!"
"No."
"Aww, but Maxie, it'd be cute!"
"No."
"You know you want to..."
"No."
"Well I'm starting to carve mine, so you need to carve yours next!"
"No."
"Here, I'm done. Your turn."
"...fine."
Eventually Mars came out of the cave damn her and saw us and just kinda gave me this look and said, "I knew it." And of course my reaction was, "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU." And then the stupid Wailord started laughing at me -_-
Well, things returned to normal after that...ish...Archie held my hand the entire way back to Sandgem Town, which was kinda sweet in an absolutely idiotic kind of way...I guess...this means we're together now? Does it? Oh Mew, how are the admins going to react?! ...well, whatever. It's been an interesting day, but I can't say I wasn't happy with it...
Archie has fallen asleep on my shoulder, the idiot...I guess I'll be stuck here for a while...Maybe I'll try to sleep, too...It was quite a day...
... <3 I feel so happy!!
