Selfless

(AU. Ash is 17 and May is 15. Told from May's POV)
You're so selfless, Ash Ketchum. You always were and you always will be, but I don't think you're aware of how selfless you are.
You walk with me to school, you walk with me on the way home, and you walk with me to almost all of my classes. I know you're lying when you tell me that you're never late to your own class, because the bell rings as soon as I sit down.
You carry my books, even when you have your own books in your hands. You help me with my impossible chemistry homework and you help me study for tests. You share your lunch with me when I don't have mine, even if it's just a simple sandwich and I know that you'll be starving later.
When I see you in the hallway, you leave your friends so you can be with me. And when we're with our group of friends, you usually stay close to me. When I'm at home sick, you bring me all of my schoolwork and sit with me for hours, sometimes catching whatever it is that I have.
You do things for me that no one else would ever consider doing. And whenever I ask you why, you just smile and tell me not to worry about it, because you care about me and it makes you happy.
Sometimes, I feel guilty when I actually ask you for a favor, because then I feel that I really am asking for too much. But when I tell you this, you laugh and take me into your arms, and then you kiss me until my knees begin to shake.
You do so much for me, but at the end of the day, there's only one thing that you need to give me that will make me happy.
It's your love. You're my best friend, the one person I can always count on, and so much more. And I love you more than I could ever explain.
You're so selfless, Ash Ketchum. But as long as we're together, I want to learn how to be selfless too, so I can make you happy. Because after all you've done for me, you deserve it.
I was trying to write something for Kisses, but, uh...oops.
I do mention a kiss in here, but it isn't really the main point of the oneshot, so I decided this one should fly solo.
