"Mm...mm?"

Eyes opening, Ash yawned lightly. Morning came with a feeling of refreshment... a highly unusual occurrence. Gary's empty, unmade bed was the next thing he noticed.

"Huh?"

Gary always made his bed before leaving in the morning... how strange. Wondering where the hell he had gone off to, Ash tried rolling over but stopped almost instantly.

"…"

An arm tightened around his midsection, Ash realizing that someone was in bed with him. Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, he remembered why the brunette was in his bed. He'd crawled in the previous night to massage him, after his own tossing and turning had kept him up. Resting his forehead down on his own outstretched arm, Ash sighed. This whole arrangement was... something.

The cocky, and often viper-tongued, arrogant man managed to turn nine years of rivalry, in to a bad romance. In all fairness, what they had wasn't necessarily 'bad'. However, 'unexpected' may have been a more suitable conclusion. What was a romance without love?... a mess. Just a mess. Said mess was not even official. Gary's proposition had been left unanswered...and oddly, he'd taken the avoidance with a grain of salt.

Gary Oak, was used to getting what he wanted. With that being a factor, along with a giant ego, he had no doubts in his ability to seduce Ash further. The intimate moment hung between them, postponed but not forgotten.

Ash's stomach bubbled anxiously.

When thinking of Gary Oak, the last thing that came to mind for Ash was a relationship. One look at Gary from any one with eyes could draw the assumption that he simply played to win. That same assumption entailed the brunette's interest to be strictly superficial and physical...but, said brunette had proved Ash wrong. Or, at least it appeared like he was trying to.

With Brendan still treading Ash like an opportunity waiting to happen, and Gary's suspiciously sudden change in behavior... Ash didn't know what or who he wanted, nor why either of his suitors even liked him. One thought he was an idiot and the other barely knew him at all.

Maybe Gary only wanted him until Brendan gave up, he wouldn't put it past the jerk to want what someone else could take away from him...and perhaps Brendan was stringing him along for easy fun. It all seemed possible at the worst, not impossible at the least. Surely neither Brendan or Gary were that horrible... The intrusive thoughts were enough to make Ash ill.

"I need to get up..."

Turning slightly with the intent of grabbing Gary's arm to move it, something jabbed Ash in the lower back. All movement effectively came to a halt. Was he...? Yup. Leave it to Gary to be rock-hard in his sleep.

From the perineal soreness Ash seemed to be plagued with as of lately, it seemed that Gary was always hard. Knowing all too well that he couldn't afford to wake the brunette up, he went rigidly still. But, if he just stayed there Gary would wake up at some point anyways...probably still hard, too. If he didn't try to move. and soon, he'd be a sitting Psyduck.

.

Bite the bullet and stay or maneuver his way out? Decisions, decisions …

"Bzzz!"

The sound of a device vibrating on the nightstand caught his attention, causing his heart to skip a beat as Gary shifted in his sleep. A sleepy grunt ensued then his breathing returned back to normal Without having checked the time yet, Ash already knew it had to be relatively early for Gary to still be asleep.

Trying to move as carefully as he could without waking him, Ash moved his outstretched to the night stand, sliding his pokedex towards himself with nimble fingers. Picking it up by the edges with his index finger and thumb, he brought it to his face and flipped it open.

New Message From: Misty

7:03 AM

Pikachu is acting strange at the daycare, saw him when I went to pick up Togetic. I suggest you go check on him.

Internally groaning, Ash realized he now had no other choice but to get up. Something was wrong with his pal and he had to go see what it was. Biting the inside of his cheek, he placed the pokedex back on the edge of the nightstand then gingerly picked up Gary's wrist, moving it away. He placed it down, inched away from him, and tried smoothly sliding to the ground. Succeeding, he stood up carefully, proceeding to search for his bag.

"C'mon, where did I put it?"

In his search, Ash hit his small toe on the foot of a dresser. The tiny appendage shot pain through his foot like a fuse, carrying it from nerve to nerve in a matter of seconds. He repressed the scream which he so badly wanted to let out. His attempt at silence seemed nearly pointless because the thump resonated off the walls. Hopping up and down he cringed while clutching his foot, expecting Gary to wake up. Miraculously, Gary didn't wake up.

"Phew." he breathed, rubbing his foot to calm the pain. "Owww... that fucking hurt."

His pokedex vibrated again, falling off the nightstand, bumping the bed then hitting the floor loudly with a clack.

"What the fuck...?" Gary mumbled sleepily, opening his eyes.

He pushed himself up off the mattress a little, still groggy.

"What was that?"

As if trying to be invisible, Ash stayed still.

Gary looked down, noting the empty warm space next to him where Ash had slept, and wrinkled his nose in confusion.

"Ash?" Gary called out, looking up and finding him.

The black haired male swallowed heavily, he was so close!

"Morning..."Ash responded, putting his foot back down.

Sitting up fully, Gary stretched his arms up with his eyes closed. Ash stood there out of place, Gary's nightshirt barely covering the hem of his briefs. His thin tan legs bowed slightly in nervousness. Gary finished stretching, opening his eyes to spot Ash standing there and wondered what the hell he'd been up to.

"Mornin' Ashy boy." he greeted Ash, eyes raking over the exposed skin. "Any particular reason you're up? It's early."

"Pikachu needs me..."

Gary smiled some, patting the space next to him.

"He's fine." the brunette assured him. "Now come back to bed...we don't have to be up for a little. "

Mentally trying to worm his way out, Ash didn't move. He needed an excuse and quickly. He had to go get Pikachu... so, he decided to just stick with that. It was the truth, afterall.

"Pikachu needs me," Ash insisted as he finally found his bag.

He zipped it open and took a pair of jeans out, ready to put them on.

"Ash." Gary said calmly, eyes glued to the younger's slender legs. "Hey..."

Ash looked up, jeans still in hand, and waited for what Gary would say. The brunette blinked, green eyes unwavering as he caught Ash's gaze.

"I need you."

Gary's bold statement loosened Ash's grip on the denim he held. The brunette's words struck a cord somewhere in his head, questioning the depth behind them. Staring, he saw Gary pushing the sheets away from his waist to reveal the morning erection Ash had momentarily forgotten about.

"Come here." Gary suggested seductively."Would ya?"

Instead of obediently obeying Gary, Ash resisted automatically. He'd read too deeply in to Gary's words... embarrassed, he tried making his exit.

"I really need to go-"

"You're not going anywhere." Gary cooed, lustfully. "Drop the pants, you won't need 'em over here."

With Ash hesitating for a moment, Gary nodded in encouragement, lowering his voice to a persuasive tone which fell seductively on the ears.

"Come give me a proper good morning."

There was just something about the way Gary spoke that over powered Ash's free will The brunette could boss him around with the tone of his voice, drawing poor Ash in like a Mothra to a flame. The same condescending voice that once pissed him off to no end when growing up now... it now aroused him beyond what he felt was even appropriate. Was it infatuation or masochism? Ash didn't know. All he knew was there was a sexy man in his bed who wasn't letting him go.

Now that he thought about it, maybe he didn't want to go.

Dropping the pants, he held Gary's gaze. The brunette drew him forward with a slow bend of his index finger, the slender digit beckoning him as if leading to sinful temptation. Ash couldn't ever deny how sexually drawn to Gary he was, but this all felt like a huge trap. Was this all just one of Gary's power games? Or was this really about him? Wearily, he hoped it was the latter.

He approached the bed where Gary sat, his rival's legs stretched out casually as he rested against the headboard. His brown hair held it's natural volume with minor rumple from sleep. The wispy bed head was undeniably sexy, along with his slightly hoarse morning voice.

Before Ash could get a knee up on the bed to crawl towards his morning flame, Gary signaled for him to pause.

"What?"

Why don't you get comfortable first?"

Catching the hint, Ash stripped himself of Gary's lent night shirt. He lifted the black article of clothing over his head then dropped it. His hands went down to the elastic of his briefs as he looked up at Gary with bashful apprehension. The underwear was all he had left for modesty and Ash didn't feel quite THAT confident. If anything, he felt insecure, like he was sleeping with Gary for the first time all over again. It was something about that stare...

"Go on. It's nothing I haven't seen before."

Naked with having no way to hide himself, Ash stood in full view. His penis lay half erect against his thigh, quickly inflating further when Gary watched approvingly. Wanting the stare off him, Ash crawled on the bed in to Gary's lap.

Not knowing what to do, he avoided looking Gary in the eyes. Gary laughed quietly, bringing his hands to Ash's waist to caress the skin there. Ash sat there stiff as a board.

"How're going to give me that 'good morning'?" Gary inquired softly, his voice just a notch kinder than what Ash was used to. "I look forward to it."

Ash refused to look at him, nervous of the stare that could make him do things he normally wouldn't consider. Seeing that his companion wasn't taking the bait, Gary clucked disapprovingly. He didn't care for the lack of eye contact and tried correcting it, pulling Ash flush towards his chest.

"Don't be shy." he insisted seriously, "You can look at me, Ash"

It was an absolute miracle Ash wasn't blushing. His chest felt hot inside. While wasn't sure how he felt romantically about Gary... he did have an infatuation. He couldn't help but continue questioning why Gary was doing all this, was it truly a display of interest or just a vindictive plot? The uncertainty made looking him in the eye all the more intimidating.

Despite his confliction, by some miraculous means, Ash felt a burst of confidence and looked Gary in the eyes. The green irises enticed him, making everything else he felt irrelevant. His fingers twined in the brunette's hair, holding him close as he brought his mouth upon the other's. Gary moaned without missing a beat, reciprocating the action. Their kiss became heated but abruptly took a competitive turn.

Ash trying to overpower Gary briefly, but Gary wasn't at all warmed up to the idea. Trying to assert himself as the male rightfully in charge, Gary fought the other's tongue. One hand reached down to free his erection as he put Ash in his place. Gary's larger bulge pressed in to Ash's rear from underneath, rubbing and bumping his plump cheeks. Ash ground down upon the mass touching him.

Distracted, Ash didn't see as Gary's hand came forward to shove him. Flat along the sheets, Ash now laid between Gary's outstretched legs. The brunette positioned Ash's legs, bending his knees and splaying them open, resting the two tanned feet on either side of his own hips. Trapped, Ash had no way of getting up.

"This is what I call a view."

Intrigued, Gary stared at Ash for a moment before reaching in to the nightstand and retrieved his bottle of lube. He paused as if debating to take something else out and did so without letting Ash see what it was.

"Gary, what is that?"

Choosing to ignore the question, Gary peeled off his wife beater. Lubricant coated his fingers before slicking down Ash's erection. A faintly fruity smell wafted by their nostrils.

"I got us some new lube, thought it'd shake things up for us." Gary explained, noting as Ash sniffed the air curiously. "It's flavored, but it even smells nice."

"Um, it does smell nice."

"You want a taste?"

Not caring to wait for an answer, Gary wiped a smidge over Ash's bottom lip. As Ash sampled it, Gary's fingers disappeared from sight. They reappeared at Ash's entrance, tracing the puckered orifice delicately. He teased Ash, waiting for him to voice how badly he wanted it. Slippery fingers nudged in slightly, Ash groaned.

"Still wanna be in charge?" Gary taunted huskily, slipping his finger inside Ash who gasped pleasurably from the impalement. "Because, I think you're much better like this."

"I shouldn't have...I'm sorry-" Ash apologized, shuddering as Gary slipped in further.

"Not yet you're not."

Enjoyed the feeling of Gary fingering him, Ash shut his eyes in bliss. Ash presumed that this encounter would be like the others, somewhat predictable now that Gary had him where he wanted. Just as he thought Gary couldn't possibly have another curveball to throw at him, something rubbery was slid over his dick down to the base, squeezing firmly all around his girth. He couldn't even fathom what was placed on him so he opened his eyes to find out.

"Did you just put something on my-"

A purple rubbery ring was placed on him, and he had no idea why. Ash wasn't familiar with the foreign object, squirming between Gary's legs as the rubber exerted pressure around his pulsing shaft. Gary decided to explain.

"I happened upon a little shop while you were out with What's His Face."

"Y-You mean Brendan?"

Gary rolled his eyes.

"Him, whatever." He dismissed. "It was an adult shop and I found some flavored lube, too."

Pressing on the rubber cock ring to ensure it was in place properly, Gary revealed what inspired the change in events.

"Found this cock ring and thought it'd be fun. Perfect timing."

"P-Perfect timing?" Ash pondered aloud, "Why?"

"Gotta keep you in your place."

Grasping the younger around the waist, Gary turned him on to his stomach. He manually positioned Ash so that he was on his hands and knees, ass propped up highly in the air. Gary craned his neck down, lapping at his sensitive hole.

"F-Fuck...Gary..."

Ash grabbed at Gary's legs. Gary licked slowly, lazily playing with the nerve endings. Ash's diaphragm shivered as he tried his best not to whimper like some desperate animal in heat, Gary wasn't thrilled.

It wasn't until Gary swatted Ash on the ass, startling him, that he let loose a needy moan. Grasping him by both cheeks, he pried him open and licked quickly, slipping his fingers in and working around them, mWasn't long before Ash felt himself peak, but the orgasm never surfaced. He lingered on the edge, panting as his seed was trapped and held him from release.

"I can't cum." he whined.

"It's the ring" Gary explained bluntly as he pulled his way away. "Uncomfortable already?"

. He expected Ash to resist asking for help for a bit, thinking he'd have even more leverage over him.

"Take it off." Ash pleaded, perspiring at the hairline. "I-I don't like it."

. His erection felt heavy and pulsed like a ticking bomb, building more pressure as time went on.

"I'm going to burst!"

Gary tch'ed in amusement, pushing Ash forward by the rear thus knocking his arms out from underneath him. He fell on his stomach. Gary then got up from the bed. Ash moved to get up but was ordered to stay put. Dropping his pajama pants, Gary rolled Ash over and resumed his place between the younger's legs.

"Garryy-"

Big, brown dilated eyes stared up at him, pleading. Having Ash right where he wanted, Gary moved in for penetration. His erection slid in with minimal resistance, shocking Ash discovered he wasn't sore anymore.

"T-That... that doesn't hurt."

Moaning with little regard to dignity, Ash reached forward for the juncture of Gary's chiseled shoulders to welcome him closer. The warm welcome dissipated as new pain blossomed along his swollen shaft, his circulation now being threatened along with his release.

"Gary! Take it off, please!" Ash begged, feeling his dick throb as his prostate was jabbed over and over again. " I'm so close, I'll do anything."

"Anything? Ha, that's a bold promise..."

Seeing an opportunity, Gary brought a finger to Ash's chin as he continued his thrusting. He rubbed the plump protrusion within him, actively watching Ash's face contort erotically. Features softening, Gary watched momentarily before taking Ash up on his offer. The erotic torture wasn't nearly as satisfying as something else lingering at the forefront of his mind...

"Tell me you love me."

The request wasn't as simple as Gary made it out to be, asking casually as if it were something he'd been told before. He knew it wasn't an easy request, but the curiosity overrode that. Ash was trapped, and as vindictive as it was to use the raven-haired male's compromising position to his own advantage, he'd get an answer out of him while he had the upper hand.

"What!?"

Ash's fingers squeezed Gary desperately. Again, and again, Gary's pelvis snapped forward, worsening the tingling heat torturing Ash's cock.

"Gary, don't play with me-"

"I need to know." Gary cut Ash off.

Ash's eyes watered at the corners.

"Gary, please" he moaned, pleading." Take it off!"

"Talk to me." Gary demanded seductively, fingers pinched the rubber ring in an unspoken ultimatum. "Just give me an answer. Something. Anything. Tell me."

Having enough of the games, Ash wanted nothing more to do with it. He tried pushing Gary away. The struggled ended with him pinned back to the bed, Gary kissing him. He asked again and instead of answering, Ash stared up at him with eyes that had grown fearful.

Gary kept thrusting, asking again. Ash threw a curve ball at his rival for once and answered his question with the same question. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

"Do you love me?"

The stare Gary gave Ash was raw, his eyes widening with full pupils. Sweat trickled down his face and their skin was slick against one another. Licking his lips, he looked at Ash with all traces of his usual snarky facade gone and nodded.

"Of course."

He admitted it wholeheartedly, the words tumbling from him as if he were amazed to be saying them. Ash's amazement didn't even feel real. He looked up at Gary, convinced he was dreaming.

"Gary, I don't know if I love you...but I want to."

The answer was enough for Gary who pulled the cock ring off. Pounding in to him, he brought the ebony haired male to completion instantaneously. Ash's seed shot from him in a low arch, spraying powerfully. Having been focused on prying Ash for an answer, Gary wasn't at close as he was and worked towards his own satisfaction.

Ash watched him with half lidded, convinced everything taking place was just a dream. In reality he must have been still asleep with Gary's arm draped around him from the restless night before.

With his body lax from orgasm, he shut his eyes and prepared to be wake. He gave a full surrender of his body, being rocked about on the mattress. Palming Ash's ribcage, Gary held on to him securely and climaxed with palpitating convulsions. He stayed penetrated within Ash, keeping their chests close as they attempted catching their breath with little success.

Ash's pokedex buzzed from somewhere on the floor but neither made any attempt to physically acknowledge it.

As it continued to buzz, Ash looked at Gary with understanding. He took a good look at his surroundings, aware that he was not going to miraculously awake from what'd been convinced was a dream. As the intensity of what had just taken place dawned on him in afterglow, neither wanted to break the silence. With a worn-out intake of air, Gary laid next to Ash with an arm out to cradle the petite male to his body, possessively.
