The Best Part of the Day
.
.
Ash Ketchum is a simple guy with pretty basic needs.
Sleeping, eating, catching Pokémon , eating.
He doesn't really fuss a lot about who stole his chair, who sits next to him at dinner, which spot he chooses to take a nap or even what shirt he'll wear that day.
It doesn't matter what time they go to sleep, how long they walk or what route they take.
He knows they'll eventually get where they need to go.
He knows they'll stop every two hours for a snack-break.
But, the one thing that makes he looks forward to the most is that night's sleeping arrangements.
It doesn't bother him where they decide to camp for the night or where the others are sleeping, exactly. No.
He's only got one person he's excited to have with him there.
Right now, snuggled up into his sleeping bag with Pikachu will almost definitely top any adventure, catching any Pokémon or any heavenly treat Brock could ever conjure up at dinner.
Feeling Pikachu's short little puffs of warm breath on his neck, the sweetest mix of a kind of purring-snore that's barely audible, has been the one thing that somehow just made everything alright.
He scratches Pikachu's fur behind his neck, earning a drawn-out 'Chaaaaa~' from him. It makes Ash giggle.
"Pikapi… pi chaaa…. " Pikachu mumbles, almost completely asleep now from Ash's warm hand on its back.
"Yeah, just ten more minutes," Ash assures with a smile and pulls Pikachu just the tiniest bit closer. He brushes his lips against Pikachu's cheek, earning a playful jolt in return.
And, the best feeling in the world for the young man? When Pikachu snuggles just that little bit closer the moment when Ash's hug finally relaxes.
He can't help but fall asleep with that smile.
