Chapter 2: Perfectly Fine
Ash shifted as the sun assaulted his face from between the trees before rolling onto his back and opening his eyes
"Pikachu…. You awake?"
He asked quietly. Pikachu just shifted and curled into a ball, Ash sighed and stood; getting changed then heading over to Paul's camp, just to see if he had woken up. Ash peeked through the trees at where Paul was; still curled up with his Ursaring. He may not have been awake, but his Ursaring sure was as it looked up at Ash and snarled in warning. Said boy flinched away from the over-protective Ursaring but couldn't help smiling at its protective nature.
"Calm down, Ursaring, I'm not gonna hurt him,"
He assured while raising his hands. Ursaring wrapped its arms tighter around Paul and continued to snarl at the brunet. He sighed and decided to walk forward; slowly and keeping his hands in view
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt him,"
He assured. Ursaring snarled and pivoted its body to move Paul away from Ash; Paul mumbled something in his sleep before groaning. Ash frowned
"You keep moving around like that and you'll wake him up,"
He warned. Ursaring looked down at Paul and brushed his hair out of his face with its claws. Paul groaned and nuzzled his face into its tummy
"Down girl,"
He sighed. Ursaring; who was apparently female, looked down at him and hummed happily. She loosened her grip on him and set him down on the ground before stalking over to me and growling in my face
"I was just checking up you guys, I saw you last night out here and just wanted to make sure he was okay,"
Ash assured; yeesh, talk about a momma bear. He heard quiet groaning coming off from behind Ursaring
"Ursaring, what are you doing?"
Paul yawned while sitting up. He stretched his arms out above him; causing his tank top to rise up. Ash's cheeks heat up at the sight of skin and he looked away from Paul
"Ash? What are you doing here?"
He growled; it wasn't a friendly greeting in the least and Ursaring got more hostile at the sound of Paul's displeasure. Ash flinched away from the angry momma bear and watched Paul check to see if his clothes were dry. He let out a quiet sigh of frustration and began pulling his wet clothes back on, Ash frowned slightly; he knew how uncomfortable wet jeans could be, not to mention they could be dangerous if you had sensitive skin. And judging by the smooth look and coloring of Paul's skin Ash would have to guess that Paul did, so he was a little worried he'd chafe his legs. Ash watched Paul pull his wet shirt on then shake out his jacket before putting that on as well, he turned and caught Ash staring
"You never answered my question,"
He snarled; obviously offended by Ash's gawking. The brunet cleared his throat and pointed behind himself
"We're camped over there and I heard your fire last night, I thought I'd come see how you were, seeing as you seemed pretty uncomfortable last night,"
Ash explained. Paul yawned again and stretched his shoulders
"I'm fine; although I'm surprised you care,"
He hissed. Ash rolled his eyes at the fellow trainer
"Just because you have this unexplained hate for me, doesn't mean I share your feelings; on contrary to your belief I'm actually quite fond of you,"
He scoffed. Paul shrugged
"Whatever,"
He mumbled while picking his bag up and pulling out a Pokéball
"C'mon Ursaring, don't waste your time on him,"
He grumbled while returning the vicious she-bear. He but his Pokéball away and turned to leave, Ash ran up to him and grabbed his bag to stop him from moving. He snarled and whipped around
"What the hell do you think you're doing!?"
He shrieked. Ash flinched; okay, bit of a touching issue. Ash clasped his hand over Paul's mouth and pinned him to a nearby tree
"Will you keep it down?"
He hissed. Ash removed his hand from Paul's mouth, but couldn't find the will to pull away. Paul struggled against Ash and memories of yesterday flashed through the brunet's brain; he instantly grew hard. Paul's struggling halted and he looked up at Ash with a shocked expression plastered on his face; he'd noticed. Ash decided to play dumb and pretend like he didn't know what Paul's problem was, even though Ash was technically the one with the problem, and it was a growing one. Paul began to struggle again, Ash shook his head and pinned Paul's wrists to the tree
"Quit struggling,"
He growled. Something snapped in Ash's brain and he soon found his lips and tongue on Paul's neck, he froze and let out a quiet, shocked squeak. All that did was send a wave of arousal down Ash's spine; said boy groaned and sunk his teeth into Paul's soft, sweet skin. He yelped and began to struggle again
"What the hell are you doing!? Get off!"
Paul snapped. Ash pulled away just long enough to slap him, that stopped him dead in his struggles; it also woke Ash out of his trance and he abruptly pulled away. Paul put a hand to his cheek and looked up at Ash; his eyes glistening slightly, the slap had obviously shocked him. The brunet swallowed thickly; there was nothing he could say to excuse his previous actions so he just ran. Ash ran back to his camp to find Brock and Dawn had already woken up and had breakfast; good.
"Come on, let's go,"
Ash urged. Brock looked up at him
"Don't you want something to eat?"
He asked. Ash shook his head
"No I'm good, let's just go,"
He pushed as Pikachu jumped onto my shoulder. He headed out before they were finished packing up; he couldn't stay there for fear of Paul coming to look for him. There was just no way he could explain himself; Ash didn't know whyheI did it. Dawn and Brock ran up to me
"Ash, are you okay?"
Dawn asked. Ash nodded and looked at them
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
He wondered. Brock frowned
"Because you've been acting strangely,"
He explained. Ash shook his head
"It's nothing you guys need to worry about, I'm fine,"
He assured while speeding ahead of them. Pikachu nudged Ash's cheek, he sighed
"I'm sure Pikachu, I'm perfectly…. Fine,"
Ash... No, you are not okay, stop lying to yourself. Well I hope you guys like this chapter, I try to get another one out soon.
