Ash woke up to the sound of Wheel of Fortune playing on the tv in the top right of his hospital room. Ash has been in the hospital for about a week and was looking forward to finally getting out.

He looked over to his right and found Misty asleep in one of the chairs. Ash knew she wasn't comfortable and decided to try to wake her up.

"Mist, wake up."

She didn't budge. Ash looked down to his feet and shifted his legs to wake up the Pikachu at his feet.

"Pikachu, could you do me a favor?" Ash pointed at Misty. 

Pikachu recognized what he needed and jumped out of the bed into Misty's lap. This shot Misty out of her slumber and on to her feet. Pikachu fell down and landed on the floor.

"WHAT THE..." Misty looked down and saw her Pika-pal on the ground. "Are you okay Pikachu? I didn't mean to do that."

She picked up the mouse and held him close to her chest. 

"Why can't I get a hug?" Ash pouted. Misty looked over in surprise. She didn't even know he was awake.

"Ash, you scared me!" Misty started to giggle.

Ash scooted over and patted the bed. "Why don't you lay down. I bet it's more comfortable than that chair." A seductive grin shot across Ash's face.

Misty blushed and walked over to the side of the bed. Pikachu jumped out of her hands and curled up in a ball on the chair she once occupied. 

"Are you sure?" Misty asked. "You're not in pain are you?"

Ash rolled his eyes and reached out, yanking Misty onto the bed. He then wrapped her up in his arms and legs. "Even if I was, it wouldn't matter. No amount of pain could keep me away from you."

Misty looked up into his eyes and smiled. She wrapped her arms around him and cuddled into his chest. Suddenly, realization hit her and she started to cry.

Ash pushed her away, so he could wipe the tears from her face and look into her eyes. "Hey, what's the matter Mist?"

Misty sniffled. "You could have been hurt so much worse than what you were. I could have..." Misty hesitated before continuing. "I could have lost you."

Ash pulled her close and rested his head on top of hers. "Don't worry about that. Yes I could have, but I didn't. There's no need to focus on what didn't happen when you could be focusing on what did happen. I'm here with you and that's all that matters."

Misty shuffled closer to Ash and smiled into his chest. "Thank you Ash."

"There's no need to thank me. I would do anything to make you feel better."

Misty sat up and grinned at Ash. "Anything?"

Ash grinned back and pulled her on top of him. He leaned up until he was only one inch away from her lips.

"Anything." Ash whispered before he finished leaning in and brought Misty into a kiss. Unfortunately, the kiss didn't last too long before it was interrupted by Ash's doctor entering the room.

Misty shot off Ash and laid down beside him, blushing madly the entire time. The doctor stopped and smiled at the scene unfolding in front of him. He then made his way to the machine that was reading Ash's vitals.

"Mr. Ketchum, your vitals are looking great and everything seems normal." The doctor explained as he looked back up at the couple. "I'm going to go and run these final few tests. If everything looks great then we should be able to get you out of here by the end of the day."

"That's great!" Misty exclaimed. "Thank you for everything doctor!"

"No problem." The doctor reached in and shook both of their hands. "Try to keep him out of trouble." He winked at Misty as he made his way out of the room.

"Oh, trust me. I will." Misty giggled. Ash looked over at her and grinned.

"Now... where were we?" The two giggled for a second before coming together for a second kiss. It lasted a little longer than the first one but was interrupted again, this time by Ash's stomach grumbling.

Misty broke out into laughter while Ash rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry about that."

"It's alright."  Misty said after finishing laughing. "Is there anything I can get you?"

Misty got out of the bed and made her way to the door. "I could go and pick up a cheeseburger and fries." Misty offered.

"It's fine. Could you just go to the cafeteria and get some food there?"

Misty gasped into her hand in a joking manner. "Ash Ketchum, did you just say no to a cheeseburger?"

Ash chuckled and gave his answer. "It was hard, but yes I did. I want you to get back as quickly as possible so we can try that whole kissing thing again." 

"Third times the charm." Misty giggled. "I'll be right back with the food." She walked out of the room and made her way to the cafeteria to get Ash's food.

"How in the hell do you eat that stuff?" Misty questioned her fiancé as he shoveled the hospital food into his mouth.

"It isn't all that bad once you get used to it." Ash answered. "Plus it would be a lot better if we would have eaten it when it was still hot."

"That isn't my fault!" Misty exclaimed. "You should have thought about that when you pulled me into that 40-minute make-out after I got back with the food!"

Ash smirked at this. "What do you mean I pulled you into that? You practically jumped on top of me after you set it down!" Ash exclaimed as he chuckled.

A small blush came to Misty's face after this. "L-lets not get caught up in the details."

Ash reached over and pinched Misty's cheek and grinned at her mischievously. "I love it when you get flustered."

Misty's face turned scarlet. "Just shut up and eat your shitty hospital food!"

Ash shoved the last fork full into his mouth and sat the tray on the table beside him. He then laid down on the bed and pulled Misty down beside him.

"How about we replay those details that you so desperately want to avoid getting caught up in."

Misty smiled at him and leaned in close. "I would like that." 

They were about to kiss when the doctor walked in. They pulled away quickly and sat up straight. Once again, the doctor smiled at the couple.

"I can leave if you want me to."

Ash and Misty turned red in the face when he said this. "I-it's fine doctor. What is it you need?" Misty asked.

"I came to say that Ash is free to leave. His condition is back to normal. He can return right back to battling and whatever else his daily routine consists of."

"So basically battling, eating, and sleeping." Misty giggled.

"And spending time with you!" Ash pointed out.

"Thank you again for everything doctor!" Misty exclaimed as he made his way out of the room.

"You ready to go?" Ash was already out of bed and was making his way to the door.

"Ready when you are." Misty walked up to him and linked her arm with his. They then made their way out to the parking lot and to their car that would take them back to Ash's suite.

And that's a wrap! I hope ya'll enjoyed it and I'll talk to ya'll in the next one. Peace!
