Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. ^.^
Okay, this is my very first yaoi, so go really easy on me, please! I wrote this as a birthday
present for The Annoying Girl. Happy B-Day!
Warning: This is a pretty much fic. And IT IT A YAOI! AN ASH AND GARY ROMANCE, GOT IT?
"No, Pikachu!" I cried, as I scooped Pikachu up in my arms. I had just lost a battle to
Gary, again.
"That's okay, Ash. Just keep training harder! If you work at it, maybe you'll have a
chance," Gary said to me. He did a sort of salute thing to me, two fingers across his
forehead. "So long!" With a swirl of his cape he turned away.
Feeling ovewhelmed, I wasn't sure what to say. He was my rival, so I should hate him.
I know I should. Look at what he just did to Pikachu! How could I not hate someone like
that? And yet, I didn't. Sighing, I searched for something to say.
"Yeah, well, you'll just see, Gary! I'll beat you good next time! You don't stand a
chance against me!" I cried after his disappearing form. He just turned around, gave me a
grin, and continued on his way.
"Don't worry, Ash. Gary's just a freak that doesn't know what he's talking about," Misty
consoled me. I felt an unwanted surge of anger toward her.
"He may be my rival, but he's a damn good trainer!" I retorted. "Maybe you should give
him a chance!"
Misty stared at me, hurt.
"Ash, Misty's just trying to help," Brock said. "If we work at it together, you'll be able
to beat him for sure!"
I looked down. "Yeah, I guess so... I'm sorry Misty."
Misty just blinked tears out of her eyes and shook her head. It wasn't fair of her to cry
when that was what I so longed to do myself, but for different reasons. I had to keep my
emotions bottled up, so no one could see. I couldn't let anyone know how I really felt,
especially Gary. Though I wasn't even completely sure myself how I felt.
"Come on, guys, let's go," Brock said, prompting us.
"Yeah, Misty. I hear that there's a great aquarium in the next town!" I said, trying to
cheer her up.
"All right, Ash," Misty sighed. In a surprising silence, we continued on our way. It
seemed we had only just begun, when I felt a drop of rain splatter against my cheek. The
first few drops quickly increased into a full-fledged downpour, which grew into a storm. My
hair quickly grew limp about my hat.
"We have to find shelter!" said Brock. "I thought that I had spotted a cave nearby."
Quickly, Misty and I sprinted off after Brock.
"Are you sure it was this way?" Misty inquired, panting. It was beginning to grow dark.
"Well, it's all we have to go on, so I sure hope so." We ducked underneath tree limbs
and around trees, getting whipped in the face in our hurry.
The gusts of rain were steadily growing stronger, and it was getting harder to keep a
strong hold on Pikachu in my arms.
"Hey, little guy, don't you want to get in your Pokeball?" I asked him. But he bravely
shook his head. I grinned at him. I knew that so long as I had to be cold, he would, too.
Just then an especially strong gust of wind came by, and Pikachu was pulled from my
arms.
"Pikachu!" I cried. The wind died down a bit, and I knew that Pikachu couldn't be far.
"Ash!" called Misty.
"I'll just be a second! I've gotta get Pikachu! You two keep going, I'll catch up."
Misty hesitated, biting her lip.
"Come on, Misty, we've gotta go," Brock said, gently touching her on the shoulder.
Misty allowed herself to be pulled away from me by Brock.
I brushed tree limbs out of my way, squinting for any sign of Pikachu.
"Pikachu!" I called, and was rewarded with a faint, "Pika-pi!" I quickly headed in the
direction of the sound. The rain was obscuring my vision horribly. I followed his faint chain
of calls steadily, inspite of the multiple times that I tripped over roots. Finally, muddy and
exhausted, I found his small yellow form huddled up against a tree.
"Oh, Pikachu! You had me worried! Come on, we've gotta find Brock and Misty!" I
turned, and realized I had lost all track of where they had gone. "Great," I whispered, "if we
can find them."
"Pika?"
"It'll be okay," I assured Pikachu, holding him tightly against my chest. We stumbled
blindly through the woods for what seemed like hours, until we finally came to a break in the
trees. Releasing one hand from Pikachu to shield my eyes from the rain, I took a look around. I was extremely relieved to see a cave, almost certainly the one that Brock had been talking about. I rushed towards it, entering it's embrace gladly.
"Hey, Brock! Misty! We found it!" I called triumphantly.
"Huh? Oh, why if it isn't Ashy-boy!" I heard a voice reply. As my eyes adjusted to the
gloom, I realized that Misty and Brock weren't here after all. Instead was the shivering form of Gary Oak. Gary. My heart skipped a beat.
I took a deep breath. "Oh, great, out of all the possible caves, I have to find the one
with you in it?" I retorted, cringing at my own words.
I heard Gary sigh. "Oh, come on, Ash. There's no one here for you to impress. If we're
here together, we might as well.... live with it." His last words were hesitant.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," I said quietly. "I'm sorry, Gary."
"It's no problem, Ash," he said through chattering teeth. It was just then that I
realized how cold I was. I shivered, and walked over to the wall where he was sitting.
I coughed. "Uh, may I, sit down?"
"Pull up some ground." I noticed that Gary had his Eevee out, and huddled against
him, as well. Pikachu had always understood me better than anyone I know, and while he
was surprised at my behavior, I felt him relax against me, accepting it.
"Vee?" Eevee called out to Pikachu.
"Pi-kachu!" Pikachu replied. With a glance up at me, Pikachu jumped out of my arms
in the direction of the Eevee.
"Hey, Eevee!" said Gary in response to his Eevee creeping away from him and toward
Pikachu. The two Pokemon joined each other and headed off to a corner to engage in some
Pokemon dialogue. Pokemon always seemed to understand their trainers, especially those
close to them.
"Heh. Well, our Pokemon seem to like each other well enough," I said with a grin,
sitting down slowly next to Gary. It sent chills down my spine to have him so close to me.
I shivered noticeably.
"You okay, Ash?" asked Gary worriedly. I was thrilled that he cared enough to ask.
"I'm fine," I said slowly.
Gary shook his head. "You know, Ash, we're being really stupid. It's obvious that we're
both freezing, and we don't need to be."
I licked my lips slowly, considering what he meant. I hesitantly inched closer to him.
He responded by closing the gap between us. I shivered again at the contact between our
two bodies. I was suddenly aware of the touch of his hand on my shoulder. Slowly his hand
inched over until his arm was draped about my shoulders. My heart beating fast, I placed my
arm gently around his waist.
"Oh, Ash..." he whispered so slightly that I could hardly hear him. I almost responded, until I realized that I wasn't meant to hear. I tightened my grip around him, and put my head on his shoulder. I felt Gary relax, and hold me tight. I shut my eyes, savouring his scent and closeness, just drifting in the magical moment.
After a moment I felt a drop of water slide down onto my cheek. At first I was alarmed
that the rain was coming down into the cave, but as I looked up, I realized that it was a
tear, from Gary.
"Gary! Are you all right?" Gary hurriedly brushed away the tear.
"Heh, sorry Ash. I thought that you were asleep."
"How could I possibly be?" I asked quietly. "What's wrong?"
"That's it. Nothing. For the first time since I can remember, it seems like absolutely
everything is right. Somehow I just feel so complete, Ash. Tears of happiness. I'd always
heard about that, but never dreamed that I could ever experience them." I realized that
Gary was blushing. "I'm sure this seems really wierd to you," he said. "I'll move if you like."
"That's the last thing I want right now," I whispered to him.
A gust of extremely cold wind blew in on us just then, and we instinctively huddled
closer. Gary tenderly brushed some of the wet strands of my hair from my face.
"Gary.... I- I'm not at all sure how to say this..." I said, and stopped, unsure whether
to go through with it.
"I'm listening, Ash," he said in a quiet voice, looking at me with wide, sparkling eyes.
I licked my lips in nervousness. "Well, for a long time... this past year or so, at least,
I've felt something towards you." I blushed, while Gary gave me a half smile, encouraging
me. "I'm afraid it may be wrong, by some peoples opinions, so I haven't told anyone, but I
can't control what I feel. Gary, I- I think that I," I took a deep breath, "I love you." My face
was aflame, I was blushing so much. Then I saw a tear stream once again down Gary's face.
All at once, Gary tilted my face up toward his, and our lips met in a hesitant, then
passionate kiss. I felt I wanted it to go on forever. His lips were so soft, like rose petals. I
brought my hand up to his face and caressed his cheek with my fingers. I wasn't cold at all
anymore, and knew that, as long as he was with me, I never would have to be again. Our
kiss finally broke, and I was left nearly gasping for air. When I was kissing him, oxygen
didn't seem nearly so important. He was my oxygen.
"I love you too, Ash," Gary whispered into my ear. Now it was my turn to have tears
stream down my face. Gary just silently kissed them away. "I think I'll love you forever, and
I think I always have."
Gary pulled me close against him, running his fingers through my hair after removing
my cap. I put my arm around him possessively, hoping I would never have to let go. Bracing
against each other, we lay awake for a long time, no words being exchanged between us.
My hormones were too active to allow me any sleep. Hours later, I gave up most hope of
sleep. Sighing happily, I looked upward at Gary. His eyes were shut and his breathing was
steady. I wondered if it would wake him if I moved, his closeness was driving me crazy. I
slowly lifted my head from his shoulder and removed my arm from his waist. As I looked
into his face, though, I found it impossible for me to turn away. Instead I was drawn closer
to him. I planted gentle kisses about his jawline and face, and noticed his breathing speed
up slightly. As I reached his mouth, he was kissing me back.
"Oh, god, I love you Ash," he told me. I grinned shyly.
"We won't be able to tell anyone, will we?"
"No," Gary agreed. "But whenever possible, I want to be close to you. I know it'll be
hard, but we'll work it out somehow. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon. I'd go through anything
to be with you, Ash."
"Soon," I agreed. "Although no matter how soon, I wish it were sooner."
"I know, Ash. But just be glad that in this whole wide world, we managed to find each
other. And, we have tonight. If not tomorrow, we have tonight."
Tonight. "It's not quite enough, but I can live with it for a while. I may be able to wait
another day, possibly another week, so long as we have tonight."
