Misfits 15 - Springtime Somewhere

Description

Our team moved out, heading south towards Pastoria City. I'd heard the next gym was there. We went down through the woods until the trees thinned, and we came to a wide, spreading beach. There were a few swimmers or fisherman here and there, but mostly, the beach was empty. It was very pretty. I was getting late in the day, though, and I doubted we'd make it to Pastoria before nightfall - besides, I though that the crew could use some R&R, and what better place for that than the beach?

We found a boarding house farther down the beach, nestled beside a rocky cliff. It cost a bit, but I got us a room for the night. Then we spent the rest of the day playing on the beach.

When the sun was setting, I noticed something. Dia and Mo were walking off together, while the others, tired from the day, were heading back to house.

I...I have to say my curiosity was aroused, so I hopped up and followed them.

I hid behind a rock, watching them, as they stopped at the edge of the water. The ocean glittered gold behind them. Mo looked at Dia, a puzzled look on his face. "So, what did you want to talk to me about, Dia?"

She flapped her wings and said bluntly, "Mo, I've been trying to flirt with you for days, but you're oblivious. So, I'm telling you outright - I'm in love with you."

I have to give the girl props. She was not one to beat around the bush.

Mo's fire jumped and his fur bristled in shock. "W-what?"

"I'm in love with you. I've always liked you, since you first defended me, and we became friends." She cocked her head at him. "So, do you love me?"

Mo was opening and closing his mouth, looking like a landed Magikarp. "I - I don't - we're not even in the same egg group!" He gasped.

"So? Do you love me?"

"I'm - I'm a fire type, I could burn you on accident!"

"So? Do you love me?"

"I-I-Dia..."

She fluttered down and landed on his knee. She said softly, again, "Do you love me, Mo? Because I think you do."

He turned his head away, and I had to duck so he wouldn't see me. I heard him say quietly, "Dia...I'm not...I'm too..."

"Ugly?" Dia laughed. I peeked up from behind the rock. She was in the air again, and she touched his twisted jaw with her proboscis. "Oh, Mo, I don't care what you look like. I can honestly say I don't even notice those things about you anymore. You're not a cripple, you're not ugly. Not to me. I think you're perfect, the way you are."

He turned slightly, showing his shoulder where there should have been an arm. He smiled sadly. "This is perfect?"

She fluttered over and landed on his left shoulder. "More than perfect." She said. "I think you were born without this arm, so I'd have a place to be someday. Mo, I love you, all of you, just the way you are."

Mo's eyes were misty. "I don't know if I can believe that." He said, his voice hoarse.

"You don't have to, now. But you will, someday, even if I have to tell you every day from here till we die." Dia touched her head against his mottled cheek. "For now, just tell me honestly. Do you love me?"

His answer was so soft, I had to strain my ears to hear it at all.

"Yes."

I quietly snuck away, leaving them be. But as I walked back to the boarding house, I was grinning from ear to ear.

(Hooray for cliche beach romance scenes! XD But yeah, the Dia/Mo ship has sailed. It was just too cute. <3 I decided to call it Fireflyshipping, since that's such a cute name. :3 It can also be called Diamondshipping (like diamond in the rough ha ha) and Shouldershipping. Whichever you guys prefer. XD)
