This is a two shot. Quite possibly also my last story. It may start angsty but i promise it wont end that way like my other stories. This one will have a happy ending. This chapter just went on so long i had to write a second chapter. Enjoy.
It was a warm summer night and they were driving through the Pallet freeway. Ash Ketchum and May Maple just got out of the gym and wanted to drive around for a bit. He had a Royal blue convertible and it was absolutely perfect for a nice breeze of air that night.
Aside from the background music playing,it was a nice quiet moment for the two young adults to enjoy each other's company. Ash isn't one to communicate his feelings too much but everyone knew how he felt about May. His actions spoke for himself. May loved to travel and be free to do as she pleased.
Thanks to Ash, she was going in the direction of life she wanted. They were there for each other at the right times without being too clingy. Which worked out perfect because of their already hectic schedule. There was just a tiny little problem. May went to school in Hoenn.
Aside from their countless skype calls, constant Snapchats, and daily texts this was the only time they had together. With that said,Ash took the long road home to extend their moment. As they continued to drive a song started to play that caught May's ear.
"Oh my god Ash i love this song!" May spoke breaking their silence. She turned the knob up higher to increase the volume. " You know this song right Ash? Sing it along with me!" She told his with that wonderful rosy smile of hers."
"No not really May. I barely know the words to this." Her boyfriend lied knowing he had no musical voice whatsoever. "But hey go ahead id love to hear you sing it so i know the words as well." He smiled back at her.
Of course Ash! Youd love this song!"
If he doesn't get the hint then nothing will. May Thought to herself.
May began to sing along.
105 is the number that comes to my head When I think of all the years I wanna be with you That's precisely what I plan to do
Oh my god. Ash thought. Is she proposing to me?
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
Shes planning to do it while we drive?
And you know one of these days when I get my money right Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough I swear that I will mean it I'll say will you marry me
I have my money right. And i can show you the finer things in life already.
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
Alright then May. Lets not rush please.
I'll say will you marry me
"Oh Arceus May!" Ash interrupted her singing before she could continue." Did i forget my phone at the gym? I think i left it there."
That was a stupid comment for Ash to make. The phone was attached to his touch screen radio. The song was obviously making him feel some type of way and he did not want to continue any longer. May knew and it just upset her.
"Its right in front of you Ash." May sighed. "There's no need to freak out. That preworkout must still be in your system."
With that said, the rest of the ride continued like it did before the song came on. It was quiet and breezy. Only difference was the vibe. It was awkward and made May a little chilly.
About five minutes later,they arrived at the Ketchum residence. Ash parked his car in the driveway and before he could get out and open May's door for her. She got up herself and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Gave him a good night and almost stormed in the house.
She kept her composure as best she could but they knew something was wrong. They both took a quick shower from opposite sides of the house, brushed their teeth and got to bed. As they lied down and set the blanket around them, they had the same thought.
I really fucked up.
They thought
The next morning, May got ready as quickly as she could. She had 2 hours to get to the airport and she was going as fast as she could.
In the meantime, Ash got up extra early that morning because he knew he messed up. They have known each other long enough to realize that May is always late to everything so Ash decided to prepare her breakfast.
She loved Orange Juice so he took the time to make it fresh squeezed just for her. Her favorite color was Light Blue and a few nights before he bought her an under armour water bottle and bag to match with that color. He filled it up with her favorite drink and decided to pack it in the bag among other things.
Among those things, he got her a bag of her favorite french onion sun chips and some home made Sushi. He went to the 24 hour market earlier that morning to get the ingredients and went on youtube for a step by step. He wrapped those up tightly so it wouldnt fall apart. For the finishing touches, he added a blueberry muffin which he knew was part of her favorite cheat meals.
He packed it all up and walked over to his car placing it on the passenger seat. Most of her luggage was already in the backseat and she had just one more bag upstairs with her. With not much time left, Ash decided he would go up and get her. As much as he wanted her to miss the flight, she had to get home because she started work the next day and can't miss this flight.
"May were late. How much longer until you're done?" Ash Yelled to her from the front door.
Surprisingly,May blitzed out the house right past him knowing,as usual,that she was late.
"Im already ready!" She spat back at him." Lets go Ash. I didn't even have a chance to get breakfast."
Wow. Will she be in for a surprise.
He thought
"Ash. Your gym bag is here. " May said holding up the bag."Where do you want me to place it?"
"May that's not mine. Its for you."
The young brunette looked puzzled at him and thought for a moment.
Dick. Do you really think some gym bag is going to make up for last night? She thought.
"Talk later May. Get in the Car."
They jumped in the car and Ash closed the hood of his car so her items wouldn't fly off. As he sped, she started to go items in the light blue gym bag.
Everytime you wear that bag you'll think of me.
She pulled everything out of the bag and couldn't help but drool over the food in the bag.
"I made that this morning while you slept. I got the sushi recipe from youtube and i made fresh orange juice from mom''s orange tree. I got the Water bottle for you because i know you love to stay hydrated. Its also your favorite brand and color."
After Ash got done explaining what was in the bag, May gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and remained silent the rest of the ride.
As they arrived to the airport, both their hearts started to beat. Neither knew what was to come to their relationship after all this happened. Not to mention they live in separate regions. Ash unloaded the rest of May's bags and gave her one last hug and kiss.
What do i do now? This is awkward.
"May i want to visit you next month. It's my turn to come visit you."
May looked up at him for a moment thinking about what she was going to reply. She didn't know how he really felt. He wasn't very vocal about it. On top of that, the long distance. Is it worth it?
"Ash you don't have to. I know you're fine. We will see each other in person again. I just don't know when."
They stared each other in the eyes for a moment and couldn't speak a word.
Is this a break up? Both thought to themselves as they stood there.
Ash wasn't moving so as always May made the first move. She grabbed him by the cheek and Ash decided to close in for the kiss. May turned her cheek the last moment and kissed him on the cheek.
"Good Bye Ash."
With that said she walked away to the airport and those words echoed in his head for years.
