Ben x Reader .Secret Crush.

Sitting at one of the Aqua Resort’s spare bench, I gaze back and forth in hopes of meeting the wandering Johto Pokémon trainer. The first time we met, she just dropped by to buy the rug her mother wanted for so long as a birthday gift. We met while I was in the middle of learning the secret of the rug when ukulele Pichu used discharge on the rug. I got sidetracked a lot of times after engaging conversations with her every time we bump to each other since then.

I sighed as I haven’t gotten a glimpse of the trainer I’ve been waiting for. She must be very busy completing her Johto and Kanto gym badges to not be able to hang out here like she used to.

“Why do I miss you this bad?” I murmured to myself.

I remembered the day I invited her for a fly and she agreed. The way her (h/c) hair wafted along the wind, the way her (e/c) eyes sparkled as she saw the sea below us, and the way her bow-shaped pink lips curved into the most dazzling smile when she thanked me for the invitation.

“Why did I have a crush on you?”

When she told me she have to go back to Johto to finish her gym challenge and try to be the new Johto Pokémon master, she squeezed the living daylights out of me. She admitted that she might continue on and accept the gym challenge to their neighboring region, Kanto. However, she promised to drop by anytime she can here at the Aqua Resort to hang out with me and Ukulele Pichu. Ever since that day, I haven’t got a glimpse of her.

“I don’t want anyone knowing my secret crush on you, (Name)…” I sighed again.

I gazed at the sky one last time before calling ukulele Pichu to go back to Dolce Island. I stood and walked towards my Pokémon friend when a gust of wind almost blew the little Pokémon away and me down to the ground. I turned around and saw her pointing at me accusingly.

“Y-You…” She gulped as she got down from her Togekiss. “…you have a… crush on me?”

I paled as I realized she heard my mumblings. I looked down and nodded, ready for rejection but only to have the living daylights squeezed out of me. I looked at her and saw her in tears yet smiling still.

“You idiot! Stupid idiot!” She cried. “All this time I thought I was one-sided because you hang out a lot with Nema…”

I blushed as I remembered how many times Nema flirted at me behind her parents back. I always decline her invitations as I’d rather hang out with (Name) than her. But to think that (Name) is jealous of Nema both made me feel bad and happy that she is.

“Sorry…” I mumbled as I finally hugged her back with one hand and wiped her tears with the other. “You’re my secret crush (Name), I swear.”
She grinned as I finished wiping her tears. “You’re my secret crush too, Ben.”

I hope this would last forever…
