23/05/13: Before you read this fic, please be aware that everything after this is old. There might be slight OOC-ness, the writing isn't what I'd consider my best nowadays, etc. Y'know, the usual 'old fic' stuff ;) So please keep that in mind as you read. Thanks, and enjoy the fic! :)

A/N: This is why I shouldn't listen to Hey! Pikachu when in a fanfiction-writing mood.

A Comfortable Rivalry

Nyasu stretched out, and smiled slightly, opening his eyes gradually to the warm sun shining down on him. He glanced down, and smiled wider as he saw the Pikachu asleep on his lap. He stirred, and eventually opened his shiny, black eyes that had a hint of brown in them. Pikachu smiled up at the cat. "Good morning."

"Morning, Pikachu." Nyasu replied, happy. He thought on the night before.. had Pikachu heard him? He doubted it.. and yet, he didn't quite want to ask, now.

The screech of a Pidgeot disturbed his thoughts. He stared up at the sky as the bird Pokemon flew by; a part of his mind wondered if it was the same one that had carried Nyasu and Pikachu to where they were now.. the rest of his mind was on Pikachu. The cat-like Pokemon looked back down at Pikachu, who was blinking sleep from his eyes.

"..Did you sleep well last night?" Nyasu wasn't one for talking in the morning. It was too early, normally, but he tried now. It was, unsurprisingly, hard, but Nyasu did wonder if it was because he was talking to Pikachu.. somehow, he wouldn't doubt it.

"Yeah.." Pikachu's voice disturbed Nyasu's thoughts.. why was it that Nyasu kept on being disturbed? Was he not meant to think today? And the answer was obvious.. no. There was no thinking. There was just actions.. and that's what Nyasu did. The moment the yellow, mouse-like Pokemon looked up, Nyasu leant forward, and kissed him softly. As he expected, Pikachu blushed, but what he didn't expect was Pikachu kissing him back.. he expected the Pokemon to give him a sharp Thundershock attack, and then leave.. and true enough, as Nyasu put his arms around Pikachu, the mouse Pokemon's tail went bright yellow with energy and shocked him.. Nyasu felt no pain.

They had a comfortable rivalry. And that was how it was meant to be.
