Chapter 4: Drunk

Although Ash only lived about ten minutes away, it felt a lot longer with May constantly yelling, flailing around and kicking the back of his seat. For the most part he was able to keep calm with her, as most of her attention was on Misty.

"Misty I love you." May awkwardly hugged the clearly off put girl. "You're my best friend ever." May then began rubbing her cheek against Misty's which made the gym leader squint in displeasure.

"Thanks May, I love you too." Misty played along wishing that May would release her bear hug.

Ash found a small piece of humour from this. He realized that he may have been a bit too hard on Misty, he was as much to blame as she was and Misty wasn't as drunk as he thought she was. He couldn't get mad at May either since she had no control over herself. She then started kicking his seat again, while still attached to Misty.

"May, Ash is driving please don't disturb him." Misty told her calmly.

"I'M massaging his back while he drives." May replied loudly.

Ash was very glad to see his house in the distance and gave a sigh of relief. As he pulled into his driveway May suddenly wrapped he arms around the front seat and over his neck, wrestling with the seat.

"May stop that!" Misty tried desperately the break her hold.

"Noooooooo!" May screamed into Ash's ear.

If he hadn't been going so slow he might have crashed, thankfully Ash was still able to control the car and pulled up on his driveway and then quickly hit the brakes, sending May forward and then back into her seat from the sudden movement. Having been released from her grip Ash got out and moved to Mays side of the car.

"Could you open the front door thanks." He tossed the house keys to Misty. When she caught them he opened the car door and after taking May under his arm pulled her out and started walking towards the door. As the three entered May was squeezing Ash tight around the waist and humming to herself, Ash decided that this was better than her trying to abuse him.

He turned to Misty "Could you go into May's room and move anything away that she could break or hurt herself with?" He asked.

Misty rubbed her head looking tired "Wouldn't it be easier if you did it, it's your house." She moaned.

"I've kind of got something attached to me at the moment." Ash's raised his voice while pointing down to May as she began to giggle silently.

"Ok I'll do it." Misty lowered her eyes in defeat. As she went into the room down the hall Ash sat down on the couch with May still holding onto him. As she lay next to him she started rubbing her head against his chest like a small dog.

"You're really warm Ash." May said in a soft voice.

"Thanks May." Ash played along.

"Are we going to bed now?" May seemed to sigh.

"Yes May, and don't try and fight it." Ash looked down at her.

"Ok, only if you go with me." May squeezed him tighter.

"Sure thing May, I'll get you there." Ash looked up noticing Misty coming back.

Misty nodded so Ash got up and nearly dragged a limp May to her room. As he entered he double checked there was nothing May could break, satisfied with Misty's work he careful placed May on the bed and detached her arms from his waist.

"See I didn't fight back." May looked up, her eyes half closed.

"Thank you May, now you get so sleep ok." Ash stroked her shoulder.

"Ok, you'll be coming back though won't you?" May asked now struggling to stay awake.

"Of course I will, promise." Ash told her as her eyes finally shut. Ash stood up, turned off the lights and stepped out the room making sure to close the door as quietly as possible. Misty stood just outside the room and waited for Ash to close the door before speaking.

"Ash I'm sorry." She whispered "I really didn't know May wouldn't be able to handle that much I just got caught up in the moment with trying to make her night great." Though she wasn't going to cry Ash could see Misty was hurt, and it was mostly because of the way he reacted towards her, though he still wasn't happy with the way she looked after May he didn't like seeing her so down.

"Misty it's not all your fault," Ash crossed his arms "I hadn't checked on you two for almost an hour and even before then I should of seen the change in May's behaviour." He concluded.

Misty still felt she had to explain herself "But still I was with her the entire time, but by the end I was too busy dancing and lost track of her." She started to sound depressed.

Ash looked at her "I'll ask you this, while you were there did you and May have a good time?" Ash asked trying to cheer her up.

"Well yes I guess we did while it lasted." Misty responded slightly confused at Ash's light hearted question.

"Then don't concentrate on the bad parts, remember all the fun you had tonight, try not to beat yourself up about it." Ash smiled reassuringly.

Misty returned the smile happy to see Ash wasn't angry with her anymore.

"Now go get some sleep." Ash pointed towards the room down the end of the hall. "I have a feeling May is going to be in a bad way and will need our help."

"Alright" Misty then brought Ash into a light hug, something she felt she needed. Ash returned the embrace although inside he felt slightly awkward hugging her. They soon parted and headed to their respective rooms.

Ash closed his door and without turning his light on fell straight into bed. Tonight had not gone to plan at all, and he was quite stressed about May's condition. He set his alarm to go off extra early and decided that the best way to help her in the morning is if he had some decent sleep himself, he got under his sheets and got comfortable.

Not ten seconds after he had done this he heard his bedroom door open, he looked around and saw a female figure standing there. At first he thought it was Misty but he could tell from the outline of her body and cloths that it was May, who then groggily walked towards him.

"May, what are you doing up?" Ash took the sheets off of himself and looked at her in the blackness.

"You said you would come back, and you didn't." May replied sadly.

"Well I was talking about coming back in the morning May, you and I have to get some sleep." Ash talked to her in a similar why one would talk to in infant.

May shut the door behind her and then turned back to Ash "I don't think we'll be getting any sleep tonight." May giggled suspiciously.

Before Ash could reply May pushed him to the bed and jumped on top of him, pushing her hands on his chest and wrapping her legs around his waist.

"May what are you?" Ash tried to keep his voice low so Misty couldn't hear him.

"You're really fit Ash, look at these muscles." May whispered as she stroked his chest and arms, making Ash begin to heat up from embarrassment.

"May stop this, your drunk." Ash tried to wiggle his way out of her leg grip.

May then leaned her head closer to Ash's. "I want you to be my first." She said in a seductive tone.

Ash didn't need anything else to be said. She had come in here to have sex? Not only that she wanted him to be her first. There was no way that he could take advantage of her in the state she was in. He quickly grabbed her shoulders to try and control her.

"May listen to me, I'm not going to do that. If I did then I would be taking advantage of you, and I won't have that happen." Ash tried to form a convincing argument to a drunken May.

"Come on Ash" May lent back "You telling me you don't want this." May slowly and seductively ran her hands down the side of her chest, hips and then her legs.

Ash didn't know how to get through to her, he then turned over and placed May on her back with him now kneeling over her.

"You want to be on top? That's fine with me." May slurred and then began laughing loudly.

Ash instinctively covered her mouth to stop the laughter.

"May listen" Ash began as May lightly bite the inside of his hand, ignoring the strange feeling Ash carried on. "I cannot sleep with you May, your drunk, you don't know what you're doing, and it's my job to watch over you tonight and part of that involves making sure you don't make dumb decisions." He spoke to her quietly but firmly, even in the darkness he could see she has taking it in.

"Your my friend May, and I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Ash then slowly removed his hand, May remained silent for a while until she nodded and looked up to him.

"Alright then, come on let's go to your room." Ash said as he stood up.

"No I want to stay here." May objected.

"May what did we just talk about?" Ash exclaimed, a hint of agitation in his voice.

"I just want to sleep next to you." May then brought the covers over herself. "If you don't I'll just come find you." She said while curling up on the bed.

Ash was too stressed and tired to argue with her, and couldn't see any other way out of it.

"Fine, but don't try anything." Ash pointed at her, not even trying to hide has frustration.

"Ok then." May replied cheerfully.

Ash carefully got into the bed trying to keep as much distance between him and May as possible. He expected her to immediately start fooling around again, but she just lay there silently. Ash couldn't get to sleep now as he didn't want to fall asleep and May then try something, May was also awake consciously waiting for a moment to do something, although she didn't know what. Eventually sleep started to creep up on her she turned over and ended up quite close to Ash who was laying on his back. Ash himself watched her but didn't move in case it sparked a reaction from his uninvited guest. As luck would have it May started to go to sleep, Ash monitored her breathing for a few minutes eventually coming to the conclusion that she was in fact slumbering. He breathed a sigh of relief but was still not willing to move. May's hand suddenly jerked up and landed on Ash's leg with her fingers caressing down his groin. Ash didn't move an inch the shock of her sudden movement and the current position of her hand was slightly overwhelming for him. Very slowly Ash turned his head and noticed May was just awake, not even lifting her head. Obviously the jolt of movement must have happened because of something in her sleep. Ash's eyes had adjusted to the dark and he could see May give him one last devilish smile before she couldn't put off sleep any longer, she closed her eyes and went numb.

Ash didn't know what to do about the hand which still seemed to twitch around his manhood, he didn't want to wake her up but he didn't want to go to sleep with the girl nearly cupping him. With the feeling of another person on him, his member instinctively started to bulge.

'Damn it Ash she's your friend, not some random girl you picked up from the bar.' Ash cursed himself for having such a reaction.

Deciding this was not an acceptable state to be in Ash careful turned so that May's hand eventually slide off with the help of gravity, to his relief she didn't wake up. With that problem out of the way Ash got as comfortable as the circumstances would allow and tried to forget about what had just happened.

'Great how am I going to tell Misty about May ending up in my bed?" Ash realized, now somehow even more stressed.
