Requested over on ao3! Slight angst to fluff

You were currently making your way over to Steven's house, a few items in hand. A couple people had made a comment here and there to you that he's been acting more strange than usual, which you knew something was up. Sure; you knew everyone was afraid of him, except for you as you were friends with him before this whole incident happened with his brother. Which is exactly why people will turn to you if Steven is causing problems, which you find odd since he usually just... keeps to himself.

You walked up to the door of the house and knocked, calling out to the man inside,

"Steven, it's me, Y/n!" It was quiet for a few moments before the door opened to reveal the raven haired male you've come to know and love.

"...hello, Y/n." You heard a faint noise in the background which sounded... like Miki, but she didn't sound too good, like she was sick, which worried you since you knew how much Steven adored her.

"Could I... come in?" Steven was quiet for a moment, before he nodded and opened the door more to allow you into the house. He only did this because it was you, because he trusted you. Anyone else, he wouldn't have even opened the door.

You followed Steven to the other room where Miki was, curled up on the floor. You made your way over to her, kneeling down beside her. You glanced over at Steven, as if asking for permission to get this close to her, as you didn't want to upset him. He only nodded in response, before you did a basic check up on her. She was warmer than what is normal for fire types with the occasional chills. How this was even possible considering... well, you knew the situation. You looked over at Steven as Miki now rested her head on your lap, allowing you to pet her head, which you did so.

"Steven, she's going to be fine, I promise." You said to the raven haired male that was now pacing back and forth, a dark shadow covering part of his face, hands, and arms and red eyes glowing like crazy. You knew it was MissingNo, so you had to calm him down before he went crazy and did something he would regret.

"Steven. Steven, listen to me! Miki is going to be okay! She's just sick, she'll be fine in a couple of days." You had stood up and went over to Steven, placed your hands on his shoulders, which made him stop his pacing and look at you.

"How do you know, Y/n?" His voice sounded a little distorted at the moment as he stared at you with his red eyes.

"...you do know who you're talking to, yeah? The one who went to work with Nurse Joy for a few months while you were out on your journey?" Steven was silent for a few moments, staring at you... then looked back at Miki.

"...Alright, I trust you." You noticed the dark shadow starting to fade away, making you sigh internally in relief. "I'm sorry, Y/n." you heard him mumble before he pulled you into a hug. "Please... help Miki.."

"Of course, Steven." You nodded, soon pulling away from the hug and went back over to the Charizard lying on the floor. You knelt beside her once more, taking a few things from your pack, and set them to the side.

Steven watched you as you took care of his Charizard, feeling something that he hadn't in a long while: and that was his feelings for you. He's had feelings for you for a while now, but he pushed them to the side as he never thought you would feel the same way about him, but what he didn't know was that you had feelings for him, but you also felt the fear of rejection and had never told him, or thought to tell him.

Steven was brought back from his thoughts as you called his name. He looked back at you, seeing as Miki had fallen asleep now.

"She'll be okay, she just needs to rest, alright?" Steven only nodded in response.

"I'll be back in a little while to check up on her, okay?"

"Alright..." he seemed a little hesitant to let you leave at this moment.

"I'll be back, Steven. You know I wouldn't let anything happen to Miki. I know how much she means to you, that you care about her, and that's one of the things I like about you." You then walked outside, looking back at him.

"See you later." Steven watched you as you left before closing the door behind him, thinking about what you just said. "That's one of the things I like about you," you said to him. He didn't just hear that, right? Did you really like him the way he likes you?

"...don't give me that look, Miki." He looked over to see his Charizard giving him a look. She knew about his feelings for you.

"Yeah, I know, you want me to tell them how I feel." He went over to Miki, sitting beside her. "We'll see." He mumbled to himself.

Over the next couple of days, you've been going over to Steven's house to help him take care of Miki, but also spend time with Steven while you were there. If Steven wasn't awake by the time you got there, you had woke him up and see how Miki was doing, and of course to see if she was doing any better, which she was getting a lot better with your help, which made you and Steven relieved.

You were sitting on the floor, with Miki's head resting on your lap, looking much better now than the other day. Both her and Steven were grateful for your help, especially Steven. You had a faint smile on your face and you lightly rubbed her head, looking over as Steven walked into the room.

"Miki is much better now."

"Thanks to your help, Y/n. I... really appreciate it."

"Of course, it's not a problem." Steven went to say something else, but noticed the look that Miki was giving him. He knew that look. She was trying to tell him to finally tell you how he feels.

"Y/n."

"Hmm? What is it, Steven?" You looked back at him.

"The other day when you were here... as you were leaving, you said something that stuck with me."

"I did?"

"Yeah. As you were leaving, you said something about liking me. Is that true? Do you like me, Y/n?" You froze in response to his words, taking a moment to gather your thoughts before you sighed,

"Yes.. I do like you, Steven. Well, actually... I like you more than that. I know everyone tells me to stay away, but I just can't. I love you, Steven." Steven was a bit surprised by your confession, not expecting you to tell him that you loved him.

"Y/n." He stepped closer to you. "I feel the same way."

"You.. you do?"

"I do. I have for a while now. You knew what I did and you didn't run away. In fact, you're still here."

"Well, we've been friends since before then, why would I leave you now?" You hugged him, causing him to flinch in response before he hugged you back.

"...thank you for not leaving me, Y/n." He leaned down and kissed the top of your head.

"It's no problem, Steven." You smiled softly, but squeaked as you and Steven were pulled into a warm hug by Miki, who had a proud look on her face.

"I think she's happy for us, Y/n." Steven chuckled a bit in response.

"I think so too." You looked back at the raven haired male before you. "Heh.. actually, it's because of you we were able to get closer and even confess." Miki nodded and took a step back.

"Come on, Steven, let's go spend some time together before it gets too dark." You grabbed his hand and dragged him outside, which he hesitantly followed you, with Miki behind you, happy to see her trainer has finally found someone that will love him regardless of his past.
