A Hunting Ranger (Pokemon Fanfiction) {Pokemon Watty 2013}

Chapter 19

"Hey Autumn. How are you feeling?" I wake up when I hear Winter's voice am I open my eyes.

Jon was gone, of course who can blame him. He was a Pokemon Hunter, and when you're a Pokemon Hunter, especially the international kind, a Pokemon Top Ranger's house is not somewhere you want to be caught. Besides. Jon probably had some kind of mission.

I groan, "Tired. But I feel better that before."

Winter came up and put his hand on my forehead, "... You're still a bit warm, but you ARE better than yesterday." He said, "Is there anything you want me to get you? Anything at all?"

Jon please, "Something to eat... I'm famished." I say with a small, weak chuckle.

That manages to get Winter to smile, "Well at least you got your appetite back, which is good." He walked out of the room and left the door open.

I pull out my laptop and get on Pokebook. I couldn't help but look at Jon's latest post.

"What I wouldn't do to have last night again."

And then I got a privet message. From 'How_To_Hunt_Like_Hot'

I opened the message...

Him: Sorry I wasn't there when you woke up. I fled the coop as soon as I heard footsteps in the hall this morning.

Me: And it's a good thing you did. Winter came in this morning when I found you gone.

Him: I know. I saw. I can see you now.

I look out the window, and Jon was staring at me.

I close my laptop and slid out of bed, walking over to the window, "What are you trying to pass as? A stalker?" I questioned, opening the window.

A sly grin slid onto Jon's face, "Nope. If I wanted to, I could do a lot better than this. Now I should go. My mom wants me to try and track down a legendary."

I tilted my head, "Which one?"

"Like I would tell you." He laughed. He then kissed me gently and used his Abra to teleport. I was left staring out the window.

"Trying to get some fresh air?" I turned to see Winter walking Into my room, holding a trey with breakfast.

"How long have you been standing there?" I asked.

"Just came in." He set the trey down on the side table and sitting on the bed, "Why? Something I should know?" There was no accusation in his voice. Only mild curiosity and concern, "You're not throwing up are you?" A worried look was in his eyes.

I shook my head, "No. I was just talking to myself, and I don't like it when people watch when I do that..."

Winter crossed his arms, closed his eyes, sighed, and shook his head, "No. This is about Jon isn't it? He was outside the window wasn't he?"

I was a little shocked, "I thought you said you weren't watching!" Is squeaked as I sat next to him.

A sympathetic look was in Winter's eyes when he opened them, "I wasn't. But you have that look in your eye that told me. You had the same look in your eyes when I got angry at you for wanting Jon instead of me back at the-"

He stopped and instantly put his hand over his mouth.

My eyes widened, "What do you mean by that? As in the me wanting Jon instead of you." I asked.

Winter looks away, blushing, "Nothing. It's nothing. Really nothing."

Something was wrong here. I held his chin up to make his look at me in the eyes. Pure jealousy burned in his eyes, along with somewhat mixed embarrassment, caring, and love.

Did Winter love me? I knew that he liked me as a friend, and cared about me a lot, but had I been oblivious to him THAT much? The signs were clear.

I let go of his chin, only for him to grab mine lightly. That touch sent shivers through me, like an electrical spark. What was he doing?

He leaned in and kissed me lightly, and then backed off.

I blushed madly, "Winter! Why did you do that?!" But I couldn't help but smile.

Winter smiled shyly and blushed, "Don't act like you didn't like that." He kissed me again, and it was longer. And I had to admit to myself, I didn't mind. It was kinda nice just sitting here, being kissed by Winter. I felt myself start to kiss back, and I closed my eyes. My heart was beating steadily, and I began to relax.

He reluctantly withdrew, and smiled, "You don't have to say anything Autumn. I know you love Jon, and I'm not going to ask you to choose me over him if you don't want to. But just keep in mind that I will always love you, no mater what you choose." He touched my cheek before leaving the room and closed the door.

I crossed my arms, trying to figure out what just happened. Did I love Winter or Jon? Everything was so confusing. I take the opportunity to calm myself down by eating my breakfast. It was good.

But I still had to choose someone...

...

Do I love Jon or Winter
