In the evening Ash knocked on the door of Gary's room. "Just come in." Was his kind of annoyed reply. "Um, you don't have to be so rude." Ash said with played aggressiveness. "I wasn't trying to be rude. It's just that this room is as much mine as it is yours, for as long as you stay. And your welcome to stay as long as you want." Gary said with a smirk. Turning Ash's anger into a blush.

"Thank you, ... I guess" he replied, not really knowing what to say. Suddenly Gary came really close to Ash, just leaving a gap of a few millimetres. Looking down at Ash's body he said "You know, I like you wearing my clothes. They look really hot on you." Which made Ash's blush turn into a strong light shade of red. That was possibly the biggest blush ever been had by anybody. Unable to get any bigger.

Did I say 'unable to get any bigger'? Well I was wrong because it did, when Gary looked into Ash's eyes and moved Ash's head with his hand, so he'd look into his eyes as well.

"G-Gary, y-you're getting really close." Ash barley managed to bring the words out. But instead of giving Ash some space he got even closer their lips nearly touching each other. "Your blush shows that you like it." he said, before closing the last bit of gap there was between them. Kissing him passionately. Though in surprise Ash didn't respond at first, but quickly gave into it. Letting Gary's tongue slip into his mouth. Liking, no loving it's taste.

As they're lips parted, destroying what felt like it had to be united, both slightly panted because they had forgotten to breath while they were kissing, stealing each others air. Now Gary had a slight blush as well. Ash pushed Gary lightly backwards, pushing him onto the bed. "Now that I like." Gary said smiling. Pulling Ash onto him and kissing him again. "I just love when you blush, or try to be dominant, or that you won't give up, .... just around me. I just love you and everything about you." He then told Ash, making him blush even harder. His face was nearly looking like a tomato now. Through that Gary had gotten a big smile, that was what he meant, blushing just like that, even though it hadn't had to be as strong. Ash was always cute from Gary's point of view, but with a slight blush he was the cutest.

Suddenly the door was opened a tiny crack, just enough, that Pikachu could walk in. Though as he saw the two boys laying so close onto each other, he directly electrolysed and shot a stream of thundershock in their direction. The boys being too lost in thought, weren't able to react quick enough and got hit by it with full force. Ash turned towards his Pokémon, which just responded with a look that meant something like: "Him seriously?" and then went away again leaving the boys standing there in shock.

"I gotta ...", Ash started to say but then was off already after Pikachu. "Pikachu stop it isn't ...." He stopped himself. Was it not what it looked like? Then what did it look like either? Well it had to be looking like they were making out. The two boys laying upon each other, kissing. That ... damn looked like what was going on. Then again was it like Ash didn't like it? Well his brain was frozen at the time, it took Pikachu's thundershock to get it melt into thinking again.

But was that bad? Didn't this mean Gary got all of Ash's focus and attention? As he did right now? He was already all over his mind again. Trying to focus on his Pokémon he turned his gaze at it. Pikachu just nodded, leaving his protest. Because even after all Gary did, he was never really mean towards Ash, and if his trainer still had fallen for him there was nothing he could do. So why not give him a chance? With those thoughts he jumped upon Ash's shoulder to show his agreement.

With Pikachu on his Shoulder Ash walked back into the room, whispering "Thank you" towards Pikachu and closed the door behind him. "Ash this has gotten bad for me... I-i've missed you already." Gary said hugging Ash. "Would you please tell me you'll stay with me?" he added, pulling Ash even closer. "I .... I ..." Ash stuttered not knowing what to say. Getting sad and losing all his hope Gary let his grip around Ash's waist loosen.

"I can't stay but, if you'd follow me on my journey..." he paused to sort his thoughts "I wouldn't want to let you go." Ash then finished after his pause, which felt like minutes, no hours, even days. Though the answered filled Gary's heart with joy, he couldn't have asked, couldn't have wished for more. "I would follow you anywhere." He said, with a silent tear of happiness rolling down his cheek.

Though it was unspoken, both boys knew what the other felt now. Pikachu was glad to have given them his approval, and wouldn't never forget how strong their emotions reacted on each other. Every time Gary touched Ash, it sent shivers through his body.

They gave each other another passionate kiss, before they cuddled into bed, Having Pikachu in their arms. As if it had to be protected by them.
