To say Ash was In a good mood would be a lie.
Team rocket had attempted to steal Pikachu and it resulted in them accidentally capturing Ash. They brought him back to their camp and by the time they realized they hadn't captured Pikachu it was too late at night to do anything about it and team rocket and Ash would have to spend the night together. As Ash lie awake in the tent he was sharing with James he thought about Pikachu, Iris and Cilan. He hoped they weren't worried, even though they probably were. Ash sighed and looked over at James. He was still awake so making a run for it would be useless. Besides it was dark so he would only get lost. Ash sat up, and James looked at him.
"You still awake?" James asked.
"Obviously.
"Can't you sleep?" James asked.
"No. Your still awake to. Can't you sleep?" Ash asked pointing out the fact that James, was awake as well.
"I'm not very tired." James said.
"Why ?"
"I just have a lot on my mind and it's grown up stuff your too young to understand." James told Ash.
"James I'm sixteen."
"Really that old?" James asked.
Ash nodded.
"Well I guess I could tell you Jessie blamed me for not capturing Pikachu today. Not only that but we haven't stolen a single Pokemon in months and our boss is getting very irritated, and to top things off the only person I'm truly in love with hates me." James said.
"Who are you in love with?" Ash asked curiously.
"Promise not to tell?" James asked.
Ash nodded. Silently waiting for James to answer.
"It's a boy, a Pokemon trainer whom I've become very fond of. He has a great personality and he's hot but whenever I'm around him I treat him like dirt." James said.
"Why?" Ash asked.
"Because if I told him how I truly feel about him he would laugh in my face. He wouldn't believe me, not after the things I've done to him." James said.
"Why don't you try apologizing?" Ash asked.
"Believe me I want to." James said.
"Do I know this boy? Ash asked taking off the jacket was wearing.
"Well Actually-Hey! What happened to your arms?" James asked.
Noticing dozens of cuts and newly formed scars.
"Oh, that's nothing." Ash said.
"It doesn't look like nothing, is someone bothering you? Is one of your Pokemon acting up?" James asked with obvious concern in his voice.
"No I don't want to talk about it." Ash said.
There was a moment of silence between the two before James spoke again. "Did you do that to yourself?" He asked hoping the answer would be no.
When Ash didn't answer he took that as a yes. "Why?"
"Your not the only one with problems." Ash said quietly.
"I know but I'm not hurting myself." James said.
"Look it's no big deal."
"Yeah it is. It's dangerous are you suicidal or something? James asked.
Once again Ash didn't answer "Twerp, nothing is worth ending your life over." James said.
"You don't know what's going on."
"I know that you've got so much going for you, and you have so many people that care about you-including me-even if I don't show it a lot of the time. Jessie cares to so does Meowth. Whatever problems you have it will get better. Trust me." James said.
"You think so?" Ash asked.
"I know so. Now why don't you tell me what's going on?" James asked.
"Can I trust you not to tell anyone?" James nodded.
"I trust you not to tell anyone about my crush, so you can tell me about your problems." James said.
"Okay well Me, Cilan and Iris were traveling and it got really late so we decided to stop at a Pokemon center for the night. We ate dinner in the cafeteria and when we finished Cilan gave me money to pay for our food. Him and Iris went ahead to the room and I paid for our meals and started to head upstairs but I heard something outside so me being curious, like I usually am for some reason I went outside to see what was going on. There was this girl not much older than me and she was cornered by these four guys so naturally I figured the right thing to do was help her. Well I didn't have any Pokemon on me and that girl was yelling out to be helped. So I went over there, and I was no match for those four guys but I did manage to hold them off until the girl got away. I was about to run away when I knocked on of the guys down. He landed hard on the ground twisting and breaking his neck he died instantly. After that the other three guys ran away. The guy who fell was wearing a mask and I pulled up the mask and I realized that the bastard that I just killed is none other than my own dad! The cops started coming so I ran into the Pokemon Center and acted like nothing happened. Well apparently those guys with my dad were part of a gang he belonged to. After me, Cilan and Iris left town they followed us they did things I don't want to talk about to me.."
James interrupted Ash. "What kind of things? Sexual things?" Ash nodded.
"Yeah, The next day I get a call from my mom telling me she's engaged to one of the guys in the gang. I didn't tell her that I killed dad but she knows he's dead and this guy wanted to marry my mom just to hurt me and my mom and my mom couldn't see that. I decided I didn't want to be a part of that and ignored them. They got married he got her pregnant and left her. I knew something like that would happen. Well after he left her I let my mom back in my life, but drugs.." Ash said.
"Do you do drugs to?" James asked.
"Occasionally. It's easier than taking a knife to my wrist." Ash said.
Go on." James said.
"Okay well I started to become the one hurting my mom, the person I most cared about. I didn't even realize till I visited Misty and Brock. They always have a way of making me see things differently. Misty wanted to travel with me but I refused I know she misses me but I don't want to hurt her. Iris doesn't mean as much to me as Misty does so I don't care as much if I hurt her. Right now I want to be able to talk to my friends and get over what's happened. Ash said.
"But you can't?" James asked.
It's hard. I killed my dad, I was gang raped, one of the guys who did it married my mom and I hurt my mom and I'm pushing my friends away. Not only all that but my drug use is affecting my battling skills. I haven't won a badge in weeks." Ash said.
"Okay, that's about it." He finished.
James was at a loss for words by the time he was done.
"James? Say something " Ash said.
"I don't know what to say. I had no Idea you were going through this and I bet me and Jessie were only making it worse." He said.
"You guys are my comic relief." Ash said.
"Comic relief? Were supposed to be bad and scary. Well moving on, what are we gonna do about your problems because your not killing yourself. I'm not letting that happen." James said.
"Just a question? Why do you care so much?" Ash asked.
" Because I don't want you to kill yourself." James said.
"But I've made so many mistakes "Ash said.
"The only mistake you made is hurting yourself and doing drugs. Killing your dad was an accident and you can't help being raped, that's not your fault. Your mom marrying that guy was her decision, she probably knew this guy was a loser but she married him anyway. But you can look at the bright side of that." James said.
"There's a bright side?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, your gonna be a big brother. That's pretty cool and if you grew up without a dad then I'm sure your little brother or sister can too." James said.
"I guess that's a bright side. I always did want a little sibling." Ash said,
"And if you quit using drugs, then your life might slowly start returning to normal." James said.
"It's hard when your addicted." Ash said.
"I bet it is, that's why I never tried drugs. But you can stop. I know you can." James said.
"Really?" Ash asked.
"Ash, I ve known you for what? Six years? I know you re a strong enough person to quit using drugs. I m actually a little disappointed in you for getting hooked on them in the first place, but once you stop you can never do drugs again. Promise?" James asked.
"Promise." Ash said.
"Good. Do you have any drugs with you?" James asked.
"My backpack is loaded. Ash told him.
"Give it to me." James said.
Ash located his bag and handed it to James who emptied his bag.
"We'll get rid of those for good tomorrow."
"I paid a lot of money " Ash started.
"Well that was a waste of money." James said sternly, he was determined to help Ash quit drugs and the first step was getting rid of the drugs Ash had on hand with him. He turned his attention back to Ash.
"James your being really nice and stuff but would you really be upset if I killed myself?" Ash asked.
James looked shocked. "Of course I would! I love you!" He yelled.
"You what?" Ash asked.
James realized what he said and blushed.
"I said I love you." James said quietly.
There was a few moments of awkward silences between them. "Am I the boy you love?" Ash finally asked.
"Yes."
You really feel that way about me?" Ash asked.
"Yes! I do, but I know you don't feel the same." James said.
"James, I love you too!" Ash said.
"Really?" James asked.
"Yeah." Ash said.
"I didn't even know you were gay I just loved you." James said sincerely. Ash smiled.
"James your right. Things are getting better. I just found out the guy that I love loves me back. What could be better?" Ash said. James laughed.
"Being kissed by the guy that loves you." James said before connecting his and Ash's lips together. When they broke apart Ash was smiling.
James kissed him again. He slid his tongue over Ash's lower lip asking for entrance.
Ash opened his mouth and James slid his tongue in. Ash pulled away. "What's wrong?" James asked.
"Is this going to lead to sex?" Ash asked.
"Only if you want to." James said.
"I want to but it's might not be a good idea." Ash said.
"Are you scared?" James asked.
Ash nodded. " The only sexual experience I've had has been a bad one. I don't want this to be the same." Ash said.
" You have to trust me. When Ash still looked unsure James said I'll be gentle but I'm not forcing you." James said.
"Let's do it." Ash said.
"Really Are you sure? " James asked.
Ash nodded. James smiled inwardly. He kissed Ash again and started to remove Ash's shirt. When it was off of his body James took his shirt off he looked at Ash's body.
"Do you workout?" James asked. Ash shook his head no.
"I guess your just one of those people born with an amazing body, I gotta work for mine." James said.
"Yeah, Well I do walk everywhere and training Pokemon can be quite the workout." Ash said working at the belt on his pants which had become stuck.
"Here let me help you." James said. Ash watched as James undid his belt and threw it aside. James undid the button on Ash's pants and started sliding them down. Once his pants were off Ash was left In his Boxer's which weren't on for very long.
James started to remove his shirt and pants. "I don't want a one night stand James." Ash said suddenly. "Let's talk about that after were done." James said.
"No. Because then you would have already had sex with me." Ash said.
"Ash I love you. I'm not going to leave you after I have sex with you." James
"But your part of team rocket, how will we make this work?" Ash asked.
"We'll find a way. Trust me." James said.
He kissed Ash's neck, "Are you ready now?" He asked.
Ash nodded.
James brought Ash closer to him and pushed Ash onto his back. Ash blushed at how exposed he felt. James got on top of Ash and stared down at him. "Are you gonna stare at me all night?" Ash asked.
"If I want to I will." James said Ash sighed impatiently.
James noticed and decided to tease him. He grinded his hips against the younger boys and Ash moaned loudly. James shushed him, "You have to be quiet. Jessie and Meowth are in the tent right next to ours." He said.
"Sorry." Ash said.
James nodded and continued grinding their hips together. Ash moaned quietly, "Still too loud?" He asked James.
"No, your good." James said, his hand made it's way downwards towards Ash's member and he stroked it. Ash gasped and moaned at the feeling. James continued to fondle and play with Ash's now erect member.
James took off his boxers and tossed them aside. "Spread your legs." he told Ash. Ash blushed but did as he was told. James put a finger in Ash's entrance.
"James?" Ash asked.
"Just relax." James said putting another finger in.
Ash tried to relax but it felt really weird to have James fingers there. He flinched as James spread his fingers apart, stretching him.
"Are you ok?" he asked. Ash nodded. James put a third finger in and Ash moaned in pleasure and pain. James pulled his fingers out and positioned himself at Ash's entrance.
"You ready?" He asked. Ash nodded.
"This might hurt." James said.
"I know." Ash said.
"I don't have any condoms."
"It's fine just do it!" Ash said. He was getting impatient again. James started to enter Ash "James it hurts."
James pushed all the way in and Ash cried out in pain. James stopped his movements for Ash to adjust to the feeling. "You can move now." Ash told him.
James started thrusting into him and Ash moaned loudly, bringing his hips up to meet James's thrusts. "Be quiet " James said between thrusts.
"James harder!" Ash yelled. James complied and Ash was having trouble staying quiet. "Ahhh .Oh God! JAMES!" Ash screamed his lovers name.
Focusing on how good it was feeling. He forgot about trying to be quiet. James didn't seem to mind though, he was also caught up in the heat of the moment. "James, I'm gonna ." James nodded.
"Me too." He said. Ash moaned at a hard thrust aimed directly at his prostate. James thrust into the same place and Ash screamed as he came.
James thrust a few more times before coming inside of Ash. "James.." Ash said. James smiled and pulled out of him. "I'm tired." Ash said.
"Get some rest. We have a busy day tomorrow." James said.
"Okay I love you." Ash said.
"I love you too." James said. He crawled into Ash's sleeping bag with him and they fell asleep.
The Next Morning:
"Jess do you think James and Ash are still sleeping?" Meowth asked stuffing his face with a piece of dry bread.
"Yes. Go wake them up."
Meowth sighed and walked into the boy's tent and gasped at the sight he saw. James was sleeping next to Ash, and their clothes were not on their bodies but on the floor of the tent. "What did they do last night?" He wondered.
He decided to wake James up and ask him. He walked up to a naked sleeping James and shook him till he woke up. "MEOWTH? What are you doing in here?" James asked surprised.
"Jessie told me to wake you two up. What did you guys do last night?" Meowth asked.
"That Is none of your business!" James snapped.
"Looks to me like you two hooked up." Meowth said.
"So what if we did?"
"Then I'm telling Jessie." Meowth said with a taunting grin.
"No don't. You know she has a crush on me. If you tell her she'll lash out at Ash." James said.
"Doesn't she know your gay?" Meowth asked.
" I told her but she doesn't want to accept it." James said.
"So you just hooked up with the twerp?" Meowth asked.
"I've actually loved him for a very long time, this is going to be more than a one-night stand." James told Meowth.
"Since when do you love him? How would you even pull off a relationship?" Meowth asked seriously.
"I've loved him for a long time. You can't tell anyone Meowth. Really you can't. I don't know how were going to pull off a relationship but we will. Don't say anything, please Meowth." James said. "Were you even gonna tell me about this?" Meowth asked.
"Eventually .maybe. But I really don't want anyone finding out." James said.
"Fine your secrets safe with me, I'm gonna get out of here before he wakes up. You need to wake him up though and we have to get going. Boy it's gonna be awkward trying to steal your boyfriends pokemon.." Meowth said before leaving the tent. James got up and got dressed. Then he went to wake Ash up.
"Hey Ash time to wake up." James said.
"Thanks for waking me up." Ash said.
"No problem baby, I love you." James said and kissed Ash. Ash got out of bed and got dressed.
"That's why you started wearing that jacket all the time." James said. Realization coming to him suddenly.
"What?" Ash asked.
"You started wearing that jacket because you cut?" James asked.
"Yeah I don't want my friends to see the cuts so I hide them with the jacket." Ash said.
"Did you get rid of my drugs yet?" Ash asked.
"No. I'm going to before we head out though."
"Can I have just one hit of " Ash started.
"NO! I'm going to get rid of them right now." James said leaving the tent.
"Wait here." He told Ash.
Ash waited for James to return and ten minutes later he returned empty handed.
"What did you do with them?" Ash asked.
"I crushed them and threw the remains in the river.
"James we have to drink that water." Ash said.
"It might not have been the smartest thing to do." James said. "But their gone now."
"That's just awesome." Ash said sarcastically.
"Hey, no attitude kid." James said.
"Don't call me kid I'm your boyfriend. I can have attitude if I want." Ash said.
"Haha Ok." James said pulling Ash close for a kiss. "Last night was amazing." He said.
"It really was." Ash agreed.
"Let's get going now. I'm sure your friends and Pikachu are getting worried." James said.
Ash nodded and they went to go see Jessie. "Hey Jess" James said. "Ready?" he asked.
"I was waiting for you two." She said.
They packed up camp and headed off.
"I really hate how we have to spend time with the twerp, don't you James?" She asked.
"I guess.' James said.
"Twerp once we find your friends were going to have a huge Pokemon battle that WILL result in us capturing Pikachu." Jessie said.
"In your dreams- Ha! Not even then." Ash laughed.
"Kid you'll see. We will destroy you!" Jessie said fixing her hair.
"Did you do something to your hair Jessie?" James asked.
"I'm using a new hairspray, can you tell?"
"I can. Your hair looks nice." He said.
"Thanks James." Jessie said blushing.
Ash rolled his eyes James noticed and smiled.
"HEY ASH!" Ash , James, Jessie and Meowth looked over and saw Cilan and Iris running towards him.
"Hey guys." Ash said.
"Ash are you ok? " Iris asked. Ash nodded.
"Yeah I'm fine." He said.
"Okay! Enough talk! Time to battle!" Jessie roared. Everyone assumed their battle positions.
Once the fight started James pulled Ash to the side without anyone noticing.
"Well, looks like were about to go." James said. "Yeah." Ash said sadly. "Do you have a cell phone?" James asked. "Yeah. " Ash said.
"Give me your number." James said. They exchanged numbers.
"I'll see you later ok?" James said.
"Ok love." Ash said.
"Love you too." James said. They went back out to the battle were team rocket has just lost. Then Pikachu blasted them off.
A/N So that was the first chapter. Was going to be a one-shot but I think it will be better as a story. This idea just came to me somehow. Now this is my first time writing a story like this and I hope I did a good job. Reviews are appreciated.
