Cause this is meant to be as real life as it can get, this will start to have stronger, more mature themes to be brought in as it goes.
(Serena POV)
"For threeeeee! Ashton Ketchum!!" We were all up on our feet again as Ash scored again for his fourth bucket of the night. The atmosphere inside the arena at the current moment was astounding. You could literally feel the vibrations of the people next to you clapping and cheering, it was such an amazing feeling. For my first game in a while, I forgot how loud it got inside the arena, but you felt a part of that and that you had to help to raise it even more.
We were up against the Po Town Highlanders in our first game of the season, and although the first quarter had been a close affair, we had pulled out to an 8 point lead thanks to Ash's most recent score. He was leading the team in terms of points so far, with 12, along with 5 assists, 2 rebounds and a steal. And from the way that he was currently playing, I could see why he was wanted so much to enter the NBA from high school instead of college. He was the leader on the floor, and even when he had been subbed in the rotation, he still was encouraging teammates from the bench and hyping the crowd up too.
The sweat that he had built up was soaked into his uniform as he brought the ball up the court again, the white and light grey turning darker from the patches of his sweat. His skin glistened as he made hand movements, asking for movements of teammates and a screen, before driving in towards the basket, faking a layup, and passing back to an open teammate, who increased our advantage even further to 10 as it dropped comfortably. I had to admit, he looked hot in that uniform, to be honest.
"This is a great start!" I said to Dawn beside me, having to shout to be heard over the crowd around us, who were chanting 'DEFENCE' at the top of their lungs with Gary seemingly leading it, seeing as he was standing up with a megaphone at his mouth.
"That's true," she said, turning to me with a smile. "But we've had better first games before. This is correctly a good start though, you're right. If we only could rebound better and pass more fluidly, then I think that we will be better then we are at the minute." I nodded in agreement with her point, as it was very true. The halftime buzzer soon sounded, and I looked up at the scoreboard, the score 48-35 in our favour.
The teams hurried off to the changing rooms for the halftime talk, while many students went to get refreshments for the second half. However, they were all back reasonably quickly, and soon the lights dimmed, leaving a spotlight on Professor Oak, who was at the centre circle, microphone in hand.
"Greetings students, thanks for coming to support your Commandos tonight as they look towards trying to win the championship." He started, cheers emanating from the crowd. "Now tonight is a very special night as this is the first time that the school has decided to do this. Tonight, as you may have or may not have known, we're retiring a jersey number for the first time. The player who we are retiring the jersey of tonight was the biggest star we ever had play for us until his younger brother reached his level, and is doing exactly that at the minute. As well as his younger sister being here as part of this school community, we also thank their mother for helping us a lot. So please, Hau'oli Beach High, welcome back the star of the Milwaukee Bucks, Red Ketchum!"
Wait, did Ash know his brother was coming tonight? Because if not, he's in for a surprise. I suppose I could say the same about Alex, as she left her seat behind me, and ran down to the court, screaming Red's name as he walked into the light, Red turning to her and catching her as she tackled him into a hug, with her starting to cry.
I finally got a good look at Red, and you could tell he was Ash's brother, seeing as he was an almost splitting image. Same shaggy tar black spiky hair, tanned complexion, tall as hell, muscles built up in the right places, those deep brown eyes, and a relaxed nature. The only main difference that I could make out was a sleeve of tattoos down Red's right arm, swirling down to his wrist. He waved to the crowd as Ash came back into view, seeing his brother in what must have been the first time in a few months. The two shared a quick hug with a hand on their shoulders, before Red spoke.
"Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. To have my number retired is a massive honour, especially at my age. Every time you have a game, it's so my best to watch it online, and there's some incredible talent in this squad. I look forward to watching more in the future, and if you are playing, just look into the rafters, and use my number as inspiration, as I've done so many more things in my life since I made the leap to professional levels. I hope you all enjoy the rest of the game tonight and I wish you all the best for the future. Go Commandos!"
The same cheers rose up again as the lights slowly focused up into the rafters as the cover draped over the number slowly fell to the ground, leaving a jersey with the number 96 and name Ketchum emblazoned on the back of the home jersey. Red swept a small tear away from the corner of his eye as he waved back to the crowd once more before going back to his seat. It would be interesting to talk to him later and see how Ash was at home back in Kanto because this special kid was getting more and more intriguing to me with every second I spent with him.
(Gary POV)
It was quite busy once we got back to the dorm. We had decided to invite Red over, as well as Dawn, Drew and May. Alex hopped over with Red so that the car wasn't congested as we drove back.
Once we did, it looked like an IED had hit our apartment. By the time that Drew and May had left at the end of the night, bottles were all over the floor, crisps and other food were scattered across the couches and tables, and the stench of alcohol was riff.
I could only remember ending up laying on the long couch come 11:30, with Red, curled up with Alex in his arms, sucking her thumb in her sleeping state in the small armchair, while Ash was hiccuping constantly with Serena checking his every move, making sure he didn't puke everywhere.
Shauna would have been glad she didn't come home tonight as she would have hated the current situation the place was in. Luckily, she decided to stay at another friend's house for the night and would come to help clear up in the morning.
As for Dawn, that female was in my arms, slowly and lightly breathing as she slept. I felt a little embarrassed as I felt her bust push into my chest, but at the same time, it was nice and get natural. Her hair, the deepest and darkest of midnight blues, was soft under touch and nice to run my fingers through. Her eyes, I have to admit, were amazing too, and her smile seemed to brighten up anyone's day, even if she had a short fuse and could turn feisty in a tenth of a second.
"You going to try and graft, eh Gary?" The soft voice of Red with a slight chuckle carried over the room, a smirk developing on his face.
"Don't think I should, I've kinda already given a bad impression of myself," I smiled, only a little one, knowing that I had a lot less chance than before.
"Nothing a talk can't sort out Gary," Red spoke softly, scratching his arm as Alex snuggled further into him. "You better head to bed, Ash'll want you up for work at dawn tomorrow knowing him."
"We've all booked this weekend off. He plans to go sort out the cabin for when we go there next weekend for break, and I have homework and important stuff for Gramps to finish off. But what are you going to do?" I asked as I sat up properly, stretching my arms behind my upper back. "Tonight I mean. You can't drive in your condition."
"I'll sleep here. I'll put Alex where you are currently and this armchair will do me fine. Dawn should be your main worry." He motioned to the blunette in my arms, who was fast away in dreamland.
"I'll sort something out. Probably will make a pillow partition and get some sleep, even if it isn't good. Night guys." With a 'g'night' from Red, and mumbles from Ashton and Serena, I walked out the lounge to my room.
As soon as the motion LED lights lit the room up in a dim dark blue, I set Dawn down on my bed, before I quickly grabbed a change of underwear and entered the bathroom. Just walking back in my boxers, I realised I had to strip off Dawn's clothes. This had to be the most awkward thing I had done for a while. Slowly and as carefully as I could, I gently lifted her legs up to get rid of her short pink skirt. Underneath, a silky pair of lacy lime panties with black linings breathed air as I placed her skirt in the corner near to my desk on my gaming chair, before sitting her up against my backboard so I could take her top off for her. However, as I went to grab the waistline of it, she sprung awake and instantly looked downwards.
The next two seconds consisted of a loud crack, a small scream and a cry of massive pain, followed by a tumble onto the floor with a slam. As I slowly raised my head up, the lights fully brighten as Serena walked in to see me on the floor, holding the right side of my face as it started to swell, while Dawn started bawling in hurt and embarrassment, pulling my duvet up against her body.
"You sick pervert Gary Oak! Wait until your grandpa hears about this!" She shouted, ice running through her voice as she lunged for me, Serena diving in front of her in midair stopping her, only for her to lash out and try to grab my hair. "Let me at him Serena, he deserves to be hurt."
"Dawn, you're drunk, calm down. He was trying to help you was all, he was giving you a space in his bed and help you get ready for bed, he means no harm!" Serena shouted at Dawn, who stopped her actions and then cried into Serena's arms, who turned to me and mouthed 'are you alright?', to which I nodded as I slowly walked out to the bathroom once more, looking for a bag of ice along the way.
Entering my bed fifteen minutes later, a heavy silence clouded it over as I sat up against it, Dawn doing the same on the other side, dressed in her lime and black underwear.
"Sorry," she slowly said as she turned to look at me. "I didn't realise, and I shouldn't have had as much to drink as I did. I've sobered up now, but my head a little." She giggled. "It was also natural instinct and reaction so sorry. How's your face?"
"It's fine now thanks, you've got a strong hand. I'm sorry too, I should've woken you up first." I smirked, as her soft delicate fingers touched the swelling, the synapses in my neurones going into overclock mode as the heat slightly started to come back.
"Is there ever any way I could make it up to you?" She smiled, with 'that' look in her eyes, the look of lust, need and temptation, her tone turning sultry as she shimmied over towards me.
I turned to look at her, smiling as she moved closer, her figure seeming to stand out against the moonlight pouring through the furnaces sand that were the windows of my balcony. All the pain seemed to leave my body as she sat in my lap, her other hand touching the other side of my face, as my hands naturally moved to her hips, the soft silk doing wonders with my skin as they slid up them. "I mean, I and Ash are going to his family's cabin next week on Akala Island like we usually do for Autumn Break."
"Go on," She whispered in my ear, her warm breath and voice sending my head into overload as she ground against my lower body.
"We usually have Drew and Kiawe come too, but both Mallow and May are going to see their family in other regions, and want to introduce them. We were going to invite Shauna, but she is going back to Kalos, so at the minute, it's me, Ash and Serena. Wanna come with us?"
"I don't have anything to do Autumn Break yet, and it's too expensive to get flights back to see my mother in Sinnoh when I've already got plans for Thanksgiving, so I'd like to. Plus, we could maybe do this more..." Dawn smiled as she leaned forward and placed her lips on mine.
They were soft, juicy and wet as she held onto my face, her tongue, the fastest moving muscle after only the eyelid, swept itself across my lips and she fought for entrance. I wasn't going down without a fight, pushing mine back against hers as she pushed her body into mine more. I finally gave in and she smirked against my face as she entered my mouth, her tongue moving in synchronisation with mine as they wrapped around each other.
She soon had to part ways to breathe as she lifted up, a small strand of saliva forming a bridge of emotions between us. She cuddled her head into the crack of my neck, kissing and slightly biting the connection between my collarbone and throat area.
"I sure could get used to that a lot," I smiled, as I ran my hands through her hair rut again. "But it's too early to do anything official. We need to talk more on friendly terms more and speak more, this isn't going to be a straightaway thing, you understand."
"Yeah I do," she looked up to me once more and placed one quicker, chaste kiss on my lip, only for around three seconds before placing her head back down. "I look forward to what you offer Gary. Goodnight." And with that, she settled down on my chest, a small smile still there as she went back to her slumber.
All I can say, Red was right. Dawn would be the ideal girlfriend for me...
