This is my first Palletshipping fic, and it is short and sweet. I feel like if Gary and Ash were meant to be then Gary would admit it far before Ash.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or Palletshipping or any of the characters, sorry to disappoint.
"Gary was here, Ash is a loser!"
When Ash sees this note hastily scratched into the street sign, Gary knows he will flip. Gary has seen the boy react to many incidents in the past and he can almost imagine exactly how the young pokemon trainer will react to the note.
He probably won't notice it at first, he'll just lean in and read the sign. Then, the words will catch his attention and he'll squint as he reads the words out loud. He sticks out his butt a little when he leans and Gary always has to remind himself to keep his eyes where they belong.
After Ash reads the sign, the words won't register at first, and his face will twist in confusion for the briefest of seconds. Then it will be replaced with anger as Ash's mini temper tantrum begins.
Gary squeezes his eyes shut as he pictures the stomping feet and swinging arms accompanied with loud complaints about Gary this and Gary that while his face continues to grow redder by the second. His nose will scrunch up and not even his red-headed friend will have the right words to calm him down.
Gary shakes his head to clear the image and retreats from the sign with a small sigh. Maybe one day he will be able to tell Ash how he really feels, but for now, he is satisfied, even getting an angry rise out of the future pokemon master is better than nothing.
Short, sweet, to the point, and gosh I think Gary would crush on Ash forever before saying anything.
If you guys are interested, I could write more drabbles and just post them as more chapters to this story.
