"Hey," Gary Oak called through the silence. Ash turned his head from where he laid on Gary's bed. The two were having a rare moment where they were both home at the same time, so they were taking advantage of it to spend some time together.
"What's up?" Ash asked, turning on his side and kicking the blanket on his waist to his feet. Gary swiveled around in his chair and leaned back to seem a bit more casual than he felt.
"You know what would be cool? If we traveled together," Gary said. Inside, he could feel his heart going a million miles a minute, knowing it might have been risky to offer to travel with Ash.
"Where would we go?" Ash asked, sitting up on Gary's bed to give more of his attention to the researcher.
Gary shrugged and looked down at the floor, "Maybe do Kanto over? Instead of me picking on you the entire time, we can just have fun…"
Ash beamed and leaned over the bed to grab Gary's hand, which caught him off guard. "Sounds like fun to me!" He laced their fingers together and waved their hands in the air, "Ash and Gary, back to being best buddies together!"
Gary's heart never slowed down, if anything it started to speed up. Yeah, best buddies…that'll work.
"We can leave tomorrow, if ya wanna," Ash said. Gary nodded, feeling his own smile grow at seeing Ash's. Gary got to his feet, flopping over onto his bed on top of Ash, "Wait what are you doing, Gary! You're heavy!" Ash shouted as Gary landed on his side.
"Whatever, Ashy-boy!" Gary laughed. Their never let go of each other's hands, instead they let that draw them closer. Yeah, Gary was glad he asked, maybe this could be normal for them, and not a rarity shared only when they were alone. Maybe they could do more than just hold hands one day…
So I'm doing two of these at the same time. I've officially lost my mind.
Tomorrow's prompt: Cuddling somewhere!
Review and tell me what you think so far!
