Heroism
Just a random Jun/Hikari drabble, because I luff them. And was just as frustrated as Hikari with him when I got to this point in Platinum. XDDD
Title: Heroism
Characters/Pairing: Jun/Hikari
Fandom: Pokemon (Sinnoh)
Summary: Hikari was willing to drop everything to come to his aid. Too bad he never saw things that way.

The blizzard seemed to have slackened off a bit. Hikari leaned against a snow-covered tree, breathing hard, her breath coming out in great puffs of visible condensation. Looking ahead, she could see a signpost. Dragging her exhausted body through the snow, she wiped frost from its surface and read the words “ACUITY LAKEFRONT,” accompanied by an arrow.
“I’m coming,” she muttered, taking a deep breath and pulling her coat tighter around her body as she struck out in the direction the sign had indicated.
The cliff she came to seemed impassible. She would have missed the skinny figure standing on top of it if a familiar voice hadn’t reached her ears. “Hikari!”
She looked up. “JUN!” she screamed, her heart suddenly pounding. “Are you all right?”
“You’re way too slow!” Jun shouted gleefully. “I’d fine you if this cliff wasn’t in the way! You can’t climb it without the badge from Snowpoint. So I’m gonna beat you to kicking Team Galactic’s butts! Ha!”
“You mean…” Hikari managed weakly. “All this time we’ve been fighting Team Galactic, and getting so worried about you, and you were winning a gym badge?”
“You should win it too!” Jun called to her, either ignoring her irritation or oblivious to it. “You can follow me and be my backup! Not that I’ll need it, obviously! I’m not waiting for you, so you’d better hurry! See you!”
He dashed out of sight, presumably toward the lake. Hikari clenched her fists, not sure whether to laugh or cry. She’d run here all the way from Solaceon Town, worried sick about him, and he didn’t even need her. Of course he didn’t. What else had she expected, from Jun? He was the same as always.
That thought relieved her somewhat, which made her calm down. She glanced down at the Poké Balls at her waist, somewhat guiltily. Worried about Jun, she’d rushed through wild encounters with unusual ruthlessness, and the Pokémon had to be tired. At Snowpoint Town there’d be a Pokémon Center, and hopefully something hot to drink.
Nodding to herself, Hikari set out in the direction of the town, where Jun had pointed. She’d get the badge, go back after Jun, and then give him a piece of her mind. Nothing, she told herself firmly, was going to happen to him in the time it took her to do that.
