Chapter 4 : Stars.

Ash opened his eyes, trying to get his vision focused. His body felt relaxed, and he had a weird sensation of complete happiness. However, it was only when he tried to move from his position that he became aware of the source of that amazing feeling. All the memories from that few minutes ago flew back into his mind when he lowered his eyes to the sleepy figure of the young redhead. Her face still held a shade of blush from the act, and he could feel her calm breath against his chest. He had imagined that scene and that feeling many times over the years, but he had to admit, that it felt much more amazing than he could ever had thought. She was there, and she was his. That's what gave him the amazing and weird sensation of happiness and peace, at same time. After spending nearly twenty minutes staring at his companion, he finally realized he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep.

He slowly and carefully got her off him, laying the girl gently on the bed, before grabbing his clothes in order to get dressed and walk to his window. It was still a beautiful night, and the stars were still shining brightly in the sky, although by now, the cold air of the morning was starting to drop the temperature. He looked to his back, seeing how perfectly the sheets could lay over her body. If anyone had described that scene to his ten year old self, he would probably scream and say they were completely out of their minds. But now, nothing could feel more right. He returned his gaze to the window, until, a few minutes later, a sleepy voice draw back his attention again.

''Ash?''

The girl rubbed her eyes with one hand, while the other tried to hold the sheet against her body. She shivered as she felt the cold air of the night enter the room. They say the coldest hour of the day is the one right before the sun shows up, and by the temperature and hour the clock displayed, she deduced it must be true.

''What are you doing in there? It's cold.''

Her voice was weak from the sleep, and she let out a small yawn.

''Sorry, Mist.''

He quickly closed the window, walking back to bed; gently laying by her side and pulling the young girl back to him again.

''What were you doing there?''

She asked as she made herself comfortable against his chest again.

''Thinking.''

He draped his arm around her.

''About what?''

''Us. I mean, it's kind of funny how much things can change. When we met we could barely pass a day without wanting to rip each other's throats, and look where we are now.''

She laughed quietly before murmuring to him in an amusing tone.

''Oh well, I can still yell at you if you miss it so much.''

The boy chuckled.

''No, thanks, I'm good.''

He moved his hand into her hair, gently running his fingers over it, making her smile in happiness. A few minutes passed like this, and she was starting to feel her eyes getting heavy when the trainer called her name again, remembering the fact that brought them together.

''Hey, Mist?''

''Hmm?''

She murmured, half asleep.

''Do I still own you a bike?''

She laughed quietly, before opening her eyes and looking up to him, locking her gaze on his.

''Don't think you'll get away with this just because of what happened.''

He smiled widely, embracing her tightly against his body, lowering his mouth to murmur quietly into her ear.

''I hope you know I'm not gonna pay it. Ever.''

''Then I guess I'll have to follow you around for the rest of your life.''

The boy lowered his lips to hers, whispering before kissing her fully on the mouth.

''That's the plan.''

From the glass of the window, the young couple could have a sight of the night, just before deciding it would be a nice hour to actually have some sleep. Ash interlaced his fingers with hers, without taking his eyes from the sky.

''Thinking about the stars again?''

He smiled, mimicking his earlier response.

''Just one.''

So, it's done, that was actually the last chapter. I'm so sorry for the delay. I'm really, really sorry. I hope you all forgive me for that. I had a lot of things to do this week, a lot. I's been a hard day's night (sorry for the pun, I couldn't stop myself). I really hope you guys enjoyed the whole story. I have some other stories already started, so you should see me around again with some new stuff. I will try to post them as soon as I can :D

I was trying to come up with something sweet and funny for the end, and then I had this idea about the conversation about the bike - I wanted it to be about something that represented them, and the bike does it better than anything else - and Ash repeating the words he said to her on the first chapter. I liked the way it came up.

So, like I've already said, I really hope you all liked it, so leave a review and let me know; I aprecciate them a lot. Thank you all for the reviews you've sent me, you've been awesome. And thank you for reading too.

Thank you all, hope to see you again soon (:
