Okay, so this one-shot is based on an amourshipping picture I found on Tumblr. I wish I could post the link of the picture somewhere, but I don't think Fanfiction allows that anymore :/ so hopefully you all can guess what the picture was and maybe even you'll stumble across it one day :p

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy! :)


Crepes

"Such a lovely day!" Serena said, closing her eyes and tilting her head up towards the sky, taking in the nice weather and luscious surroundings. She smiled and let the light breeze tumble through her blonde locks.

"You can say that again," her friend said from beside her. His husky voice snapped her out of her senses and she opened her eyes again, quickly glancing at him. His eyes were also closed, in what she assumed he was taking in the nice day. The breeze also blew a few strands of his black hair.

Serena smiled and a light color dusted her cheeks as she continued to gaze at him. She found Ash to be extremely attractive. Not only with his handsome features, but his friendliness, his dedication to his Pokemon and becoming the best he can be! She loved the drive he had to strive for everything he did. She'd admired Ash ever since she'd been traveling with him and had developed a little crush on him.

She'd been keeping it to herself, but had been dropping subtle hints to Ash which he didn't pick up on. She quickly learned he was dense, which bugged her, but in a way, he couldn't be that dense because he seemed to take a very small interest in her. At times, she'd catch him staring at her and he even held her hand once or twice.

Maybe he did feel something in return, but she still felt like she had little hope. After all, Ash didn't seem to care about girls. Only his Pokemon and battling.

"Something smells so good!" Ash said, breathing in the scent - which he'd been doing the entire time.

Serena laughed and pointed to a nearby Cafe. "How about we eat there, Ash? They specialize in Crepes."

"Okay, let's go!" Excited to finally eat food, Ash took Serena's hand - making her blush - and pulled her over to the cafe in a hurry.

When they arrived, a host seated the two and handed them menus and letting them know that a waiter would arrive soon to take their order. This gave them time to examine the menu and decided exactly what they wanted.

Ash's eyes dashed over the menu, non-stop. He wished he could have everything on the menu, but he was limited in money right now. "Serena, what's a crepe anyway? They look great!"

Serena was busy looking over the menu herself, even though she pretty much knew what she wanted. She lowered the menu, so she could see Ash as she spoke, "It's a very thin pancake that can be made into a desert - it can be filled with sweet toppings - or for lunch and dinner with it being filled with meat and vegetables. I only eat them as deserts, I can't imagine eating a crepe filled with anything else other than sweet toppings."

Ash continued to eye the menu. It was filled with all types of crepes and they all looked good.

"You should try it, Ash," she said, noticing Ash's confused look.

"I think I will!" Ash said happily.

A woman approached their table with a notepad and pen. "Hello!" she said with a small. "Are you two ready to order?"

"Yes!" Ash said first with excitement pinched in his voice, causing Serena to giggle at him. "I'd like to try the 'build your own crepes'," he told the waitress. "In two of them, I'd like strawberries, with powdered sugar and whipped cream. And in the other two, I'd like them with melted Nutella and strawberries."

The waitress wrote down Ash's order and looked over to Serena who was gazing at Ash. "Ma'am?"

"H-huh? Sorry!" Serena blushed and smiled sheepishly at the woman, who only chuckled at her behavior. "I'll just have four crepes with cream filling and blueberries."

"Alright, darlings," the woman said, taking up their menus. "It'll be right up!" Before she left, she gave Serena a knowing look, which made Serena blush. She guessed she knew her secret.

As they waited for their crepes, they shared a great conversation with each other, talking about any and everything that popped into their heads. Serena found herself blushing quite a few times, and also noticed Ash had blushed numerous times as well. They were both enjoying each other's company. It was nice to actually be alone for a while, being that they also traveled with Bonnie and Clemont.

They couldn't tag along because Bonnie had gotten a fever and Clemont, wanted to take care of her. Serena and Ash offered their help, but Clemont assured them that he could handle it.

"Do you think we should order crepes for Bonnie and Clemont too? I know Bonnie would love them!" Serena said.

"Sure!" Ash agreed, thinking of the little one. "We can order them after we finish eating."

The waitress arrived with their food on a tray and handed them their separate plated that held their sweet crepes. Ash's eyes lit up as he his crepes were placed in front of him. He was ready to devour them.

"I hope you two enjoy your crepes. And if you need anything, just let me know!" the waitress smiled and bowed her head before walking away, leaving Ash and Serena to themselves.

Ash quickly began putting away his crepes, while Serena ate slowly at hers and watched Ash eat, giggling at him. As most girls found the way he ate totally disgusting, Serena found it to be incredibly cute. To her, everything about him was cute.

Fifteen minutes later, Ash had finished his crepes while Serena was slowly eating away at her second crepe. But she had stopped eating as her and Ash engaged in another conversation.

"So, Ash, are you ready for your battle at the Cyllage City Gym?"

"Oh, you bet I am!" Ash said, pumping his fist in the air.

Serena smiled at his excitement. "With your determination, I know for sure you're going to win that gym badge, Ash."

Ash felt his face heat up, hearing her compliment and smiled sheepishly at Serena. He didn't know why he was blushing and the feeling he felt inside didn't make sense to him either. "Thanks, Serena!"

Ash admired his friend's support. He loved when she cheered him on during his gym battles. She always had faith in him, and he loved it. Every time he heard shouting his name during a battle, encouraging him, he always gained more strength to push on and win the battle. He felt that Serena was his secret good-luck charm.

"Which Pokemon are you going to use? Have you decided?" Serena, asked, snapping Ash out of his thoughts.

Ash had grew excited again and went on to tell Serena which Pokemon he planned on using and the different strategies he had come up with to defeat the gym leader.

Serena had soon found herself gazing longingly at Ash as he went on about his upcoming battle. She barely even made out what he said anymore.

He's so cute! Serena thought to herself. She now visioned Ash being surrounded by hearts with a pink background.

But Ash was so lost in talking about his battle that he hadn't even noticed Serena just staring at him, dazed.

"Anyway, Serena..." Ash said, finally taking a breath between his words and calming down. He now noticed Serena staring at him, but he didn't think much of it as he was focused on something else now. A light blush spread over his cheeks as he stumbled to get his words out. "There's been something I've been meaning to ask you for a whole now..."

Serena had snapped out of her thoughts, with Ash's sentence catching her attention. She shook her head slightly and looked at Ash. Her heartbeat sped up upon her noticing the blush growing on Ash's cheeks. The seriousness in his voice led her to believe that whatever he had to ask her was important.

He's going to ask me out!

It all made sense now!

The gazing at her, holding her hand, the blushing and acting nervous all of sudden when he says he's been meaning to ask her something for a while.

Serena felt her heart flutter and all her worries of Ash not liking her disappeared.

She tried to keep her cool, but it was almost impossible for her to contain herself. "W-what is it, Ash?" she asked, smiling at him.

Ash continued his gaze at her and the blush never left his cheeks. There was something about Serena that made his blush. "I-I was wondering...if you were going to finish your crepes?"

Serena's smile dropped and she felt the sudden urge to cry as she unwillingly pushed her uneaten crepes over to Ash.

She wanted to slap herself in the face at how stupid she'd been to think Ash would seriously pick her over food.
