"May..."
May moans. She feels someone shaking her body lightly.
"What is it?" She grumbles, falling back into the pillow.
"There's a phone call for you."
It was her mom. May rubs her eyes and sits on her bed, picking the phone from her mom's hand.
"Thank you" She kindly smiles at her mother. "Hello?"
"May? It's Steven. Did I wake you up?
May sighs.
"You did, but it's fine. What is it?" She answers in a cold tone.
"Oh... Okay, then, I won't bother you anymore. Have a good day, Maylene."
"No! Steven!"
It's too late, he already hung up the phone. May flails on her bed, refusing to believe she'll have to get up to find out what Steven wants.
Curse you, Steven Stone.
She wraps up a bandanna around her hair before heading out. She didn't care to change her pajamas, nor brush her messy hair.
•••
We left a bag for you. It has a map and everything you'll need to survive in the wild. It's a long way to our daughter, but we trust her safety to you. Be careful.
Ron and Julia.
Steven folded the letter. He wasn't surprised by May's reaction, but he should've realized she still is pretty pissed at him. It was a rough fight, and he regretted some things he said to her. May saving him didn't erase their actions.
She was just trying to help...
He sighs as he walks up to the bag. There's Potions, Berries, all sorts of battle items, Poké Balls, Repels. Everything he could ask for.
Something feels weird inside his heart. A mixture of excitement, anxiety, sadness, and happiness at the same time.
A knock on the door snaps Steven out of his thoughts. He opens it, revealing a worried and messy May.
"Wha..."
"You're an idiot. Do you know that, Steven?" May hisses.
"I know, now" He mumbles, really upset.
"You wanted to ask me something, right? I know you."
"You have better things to do... I can go all by myself. Sorry if I bothered you."
Steven started to feel dizzy, so he sat back in bed. May furrows her eyebrows, worried.
"Are you okay?"
"You know what, Maylene? I'm not!" He snaps. "I just had the crappiest week of my life. Now, I need to get out of here and find (Y/N) before my father does, but..."
Steven sighs, finally calming down.
"I'm scared."
"Then why are you doing it?"
Steven hands the letter to May. She reads it quickly. Her eyes cannot believe in what they just saw.
