I stood awkwardly, still scratching the back of my neck and looking down at the ground. My (h/c) hair still hung over my (pale/tanned/dark) face. I shut my eyes tight and kept my teeth clinched, hoping to god he didn't say anything to me, while silently hoping he did so that this awkward tension would be over with.
After what seemed like centuries of silence, I heard him say something...
"...How long have you been there?" he muttered, his voice very low and quiet.
"Uh, Iiiii... I was just, err... eheh...." I muffled quietly, scratching my neck again, forgetting what I even came here for. 'God dammit, (y/n), why do you have to be so awkward!' I thought to myself in irritation. Although my head was still awkwardly lowered to the ground, I glanced my (e/c) orbs slightly to the left where my Charizard previously stood just so I could get a simple sign of comfort, but then my facial expression completely changed once I saw nothing there. Suddenly, my eyes widened, my face turned pale, instantly turning from awkward to extreme panic. I threw my head upwards almost instantly, my hair flipping back from behind my face in seconds. I instantly flipped my head to the right, and without seeing anything, my (e/c) eyes grew larger and my pupils dilated slightly in fear. I quickly turned around to look behind me, Char being no where in sight.
I anxiously began looking around the area where I stood right before I ran behind some large rocks, and even getting hopeless enough to check behind small bushes, has if he was even small enough to be hiding there.
"CHAR!" I shouted, fear and anxiety running through my voice. "CHAAAAARRRR!" My voice echoed from across the mountain, and I almost instantly forgot anyone else was even in my presence.
I ran around aimlessly, screaming Charizard's name like I was the one lost and not him. Technically, I would be lost with out Charizard, though. Not only would I lose my best friend... but I'd be literally lost because I won't have any way to get home...
I continued running around and checking everywhere, the sound of my cries being the only thing anyone could hear. I stopped in my place in front of a large rock, and my breath stuck inside my throat as I realized I just checked everywhere and back 9000 times. I started shaking in fear. I dug my black converse into the snow and suddenly fell on my knees into the cold surface. "SHIIITTT!" I cussed out loud, complete fear and sadness running through my voice. I tangled my hands into my hair, positioning my knees so that I could bury my face into them. I shakily wrapped my arms around my legs and shoved my head into my knees.
Then, everything went dead silent except for my heavy breathing that was slowly returning at a normal pace. After my breath all returned, I remained completely and utterly silent. I trying my hardest not to cry. The moment seemed to have lasted forever, until I suddenly couldn't hold it in and made light whimper, then causing me to loose the 'bubble' I had almost blown up and start crying softly. Red's eyes widened at the sound, whether it be in shock, confusion, fear, sympathy... I don't know. I just cried softly, trying my best to make it quiet as I possibly could, simply unable to hold it back. My head was still buried in my knees so that I couldn't see anything, my breathing becoming muffled. I cried as quietly as I could, when I suddenly felt a warm hand gently touch my shoulder. My breath got caught in my throat as I slowly and softly lifted my head up and turned my now reddish and stuffy looking eyes behind me to meet a pair of two naturally, exotic looking red eyes, looking at me with complete sincerity. He looked as though he knew exactly what I was going through, and it almost as though he felt upset about it, too... sort of like how I did while seeing him cry. I stared at him for a moment, letting everything sink in for the both of us.
I then choked out a huff with a hint of a cry added to it, breaking my silence. My lips curled in as I threw my head back into my knees and started bawling hysterically. Red's eyes widened even more, and his face looked as though he were almost as sad as I was just by watching me. He gently slid his hand off of my shoulder, causing me to clutch onto my legs even harder than before. I then heard him sit in front of me in the snow. I glanced my crying eyes upwards slightly to see his face, not moving my head. My (h/l) (h/c) hair still laid in my face, but I could still somehow see his expression. It was sympathetic, full of emotion and completely sincere. I curled in my lips again, both of us knowing I was just about to break down again, but this time instead of crying into my legs, I grabbed onto his red vest and pulled him closer to me, quickly burying my face into his shoulder. I heard him gasp once I pulled him close to me, bawling into his shoulder. I sat like that for about a minute, my hands clutched into his sleeves, my face buried in his shirt. My cries were loud and probably hurt his ears now that I think about it. I cried, and I cried, and I cried. Suddenly, I felt a strong hand gently pet my hair. He was trying to console me... and somehow... somehow it made me feel... safer. I didn't even know this guy, but for some strange reason... I felt like he wouldn't judge me. Like I could cry over my lost Pokemon and he wouldn't think it was dumb like everyone else would. It was like he knew exactly how I felt, and wouldn't make fun of me for it. I continued to cry as he softly pet my head and I clutched onto his sleeves. I didn't even know him.. but still. Still, he.. he made me feel... safer. And I wasn't going to question it.
