Title: minor disturbances
Fandom: Pokémon
Pairing: Paul/Dawn (Ikarishipping)

“Can’t you pick on someone else for once?”
“That would defeat the purpose.”
She blinks and stares at him for a minute before shaking her head and saying, “What purpose is there for making me want to slap you across the face?”
That, however, is the purpose. The whole point is to get a reaction - he needs something, anything, any kind of proof that she acknowledges him. Honestly, would she ever pay attention to yet another nice guy?
He doesn’t explain anything to her and looks in the other direction; he knows she’ll realize that she does the same thing.
-x-
She leaves him alone far too much.
She’ll give him a doubtful look when he insists that he doesn’t want to talk about it, but she drops the matter entirely and goes about her own business. It’s not that she doesn’t care - she cares more than anyone else; that much is true - but the awful truth lingers in the back of his mind.
She is utterly afraid of him.
Between the two of them, there is no outlet for the feelings that remain bottled up, and that will be their downfall.
(It’s not like they ever amounted to anything, anyway.)
