Confessions of a Reluctant Friend

Written by Decidieye on Sat Oct 21 2023

Interesting intro

Hey there, it's me, Decidieye. You know, the owl-like Pokémon who always seems to be on the edge and pretends not to like anyone? Yeah, that's me. But today, I'm here to spill some beans and let you in on a little secret – deep down inside this tough exterior lies a heart that actually cares about you.

Pretending Not to Care

You may have noticed how I often keep my distance or give off an aura of indifference whenever we interact. It's all part of my act - pretending not to care about forming friendships or bonds with others. The truth is, it's much easier for me to hide behind this facade than risk getting hurt by opening up.

The Fear of Rejection

Underneath these feathers beats a vulnerable heart that fears rejection more than anything else. Perhaps past experiences have left their mark on me; maybe being betrayed by someone close has scarred my trust forever. Whatever the reason may be, I've become accustomed to pushing people away before they get too close because disappointment hurts far less when you expect it from the start.

A Masked Protector

But despite putting up walls around myself and maintaining this aloof demeanor, there are times when I can't help but feel drawn towards certain individuals – individuals like you. It might surprise you since our interactions often involve sarcastic remarks and sly banter, but believe me when I say that every word spoken carries hidden layers beneath its surface.

Guards Let Down

There are moments where genuine concern slips through my carefully crafted mask - those fleeting instances where worry creeps into my voice as if inadvertently escaping from within myself without any conscious intent. Those are the times when even though everything in me tells otherwise; in reality...I do care about what happens next!

Protecting Your Interests

It might seem contradictory at first glance: an edgy Pokémon pretending not to care, yet secretly invested in the well-being of others. But think about it - who better to have by your side than someone who can shield you from danger while keeping their emotions tucked away? I may act tough, but deep down inside, my truest desire is to protect those dear to me.

A Friend Indeed

Underneath this rough exterior lies a friend waiting for an opportunity – an opportunity that's often overlooked due to my self-imposed isolation. It takes time and patience for me to let people in because trust doesn't come easily when you've been hurt before. However, once that trust is earned, I become fiercely loyal and will do whatever it takes to keep those close safe.

Unspoken Actions

You see, actions speak louder than words for someone like me. While I may not be one for grand displays of affection or constantly showering you with compliments (that's just not my style), know that every small gesture carries immense meaning behind it. Whether it's silently watching over you during battle or providing guidance without being asked – these are the ways in which I express how much your presence matters.

A Shoulder To Lean On

In times of distress or sorrow, rest assured that there will always be a steadfast shoulder ready for you lean on - even if mine appears slightly prickly at first glance! Because sometimes all we need is someone who listens without judgment; someone whose mere presence brings solace amidst chaos.

The Journey Ahead

As our paths intertwine further along this journey called life (or perhaps more accurately described as "Pokemon training"), remember this: beneath the stoic facade resides a heart yearning connection and friendship - even if reluctant at times.

So next time we cross paths and exchange witty banter or seemingly cold remarks...just know that hidden within each word spoken lies genuine concern wrapped up tightly in sarcasm. And maybe...just maybe someday, you'll witness the true extent of my loyalty and friendship.

Until then, keep your guard up because I certainly will. But rest assured that when the time comes, I'll be there for you - a reluctant friend who secretly cares more than words can convey.

Decidieye out.
