(Winona’s POV)

 

            He’s injured and it’s all her fault.

            She tried to get him to stay away from her. She broke off their relationship before this fiasco with Groudon and Kyogre happened! She had already felt stirrings in the wind, dark clouds on the horizon. She just wanted to keep him safe!

            But Wallace had to be stubborn, and stupid, and even when all the Gym Leaders gathered in Fortree, and he knew what the death of the volcano meant – he still tried to shoulder her burden and support her!

            She brushed him off as rudely as possible, trying to tell him that it was not going to work between them, that now was not the time, that she had put that part of her past behind them and he ought to do the same…

            But no, even after he went after his student, Ruby, he came back. And worse yet, during the battle in Sootopolis City, she was the one who was helpless, used as a hostage, and he was the one who was injured, because she was too weak…

            This was why she didn’t want him around! She didn’t want his pity. She didn’t want to drag him down. She didn’t want to love him any more…

            She just wanted to keep him safe, but if breaking his heart couldn’t fix the problem, what would?

I feel bad for Wallace since Winona kept pushing him away (even in Emerald, it seemed…) but I still like Metroshipping better *sniffles*. Or at least, I like Wallace/Ruby *friendship* fics! ^^
