A/N: In case you missed it, the last chapter I put up (14, not 13) was an April Fool's joke. Yeah, I know it was lame. Missed it? Too bad, because of.. certain events, it's not available anywhere. Anyway, here's the real chapter fourteen. Enjoy.

Chapter Fourteen: If I Said Yes

Pikachu watched the catboy walk off, and sighed. He wasn't stupid; he knew that Nyasu was in love with him, but.. how did he expect him to react to.. that? He was a good guy! He didn't want to be known as.. one of them. A Team Rocket member. He couldn't handle that.

Honestly, he would be happy if Satoshi came back for him. It wasn't like he was in love with him or anything.. he just.. he was used to Satoshi. Nyasu was so different, and Pikachu.. didn't like change. Takeshi had gone for a while and that Kenji boy had taken his place.. and that had taken some getting used to. Besides the fact that Kenji was so boring, it was change. Pikachu didn't like change. After what had happened before he was caught by Ookido-hakase.. He didn't even want to think about it. He didn't like strangers, either. Or fighting. He'd do it if Satoshi told him to, though...

"Satoshi.." he mumbled, sighing. Why couldn't he stop thinking about Satoshi? The more he thought about Nyasu, the more Satoshi came into his mind.. what was this feeling he kept feeling? Why did he keep thinking about them both?

Nyasu stretched, and kept on jogging as the tree he had left Pikachu under came into sight. He smiled, and went over to his love. "I'm back," he said. Silence. Worried, he said, "Pikachu?" The blonde boy looked up at him, and said, "I've.. I've been thinking about some things." He got up, and took Nyasu's hand. "Nyasu.."

The catboy, taken by surprise, turned red. His heart started thumping, as he said, "Y-yes, Pika-kun?", feeling bold enough to shorten the name he had grown to love.

"If I said yes, would I need to steal? Give up everything I've worked hard for and get a reputation as a Team Rocket member?"

Though he was slightly disappointed that it wasn't a confession of love, Nyasu was still surprised at the question. He was really considering joining Team Rocket?

"Nyasu?" Nyasu perked his ears up at the unanswered question. "Y-you wouldn't be a high-class straight away. Grunts. They're always in the background. No one would recognize you."

"How do you know?"

"Satoshi didn't."

The answer was so simple, and yet so tormenting for Pikachu, though he didn't realize at the time. Realizing something was wrong, he said, "Pikachu?"

"I.. I've been thinking while you were out.. about Satoshi.. and you.." Pikachu breathed in. "I've come to terms with some things today. I.. I don't like change. But some things have made me realize that.. well.. I think I'm gay."

Nyasu blinked. Had Pikachu just come out of the closet? In front of him? Maybe he had heard things. "..Pardon?"

"I said I think I'm gay. I can't stop thinking about you.. or Satoshi.." Damn, he had heard right. Funny how he was surprised by this after practically begging the boy to switch teams for him. "Nyasu?"

"Eh? Oh. Just thinking about some things. Kinda like how you just were, heh."

"Heh.."

Awkward silence. And then.. "...I.. I can't join Team Rocket. Not yet. But I'll.. I'll be your boyfriend, Nyasu. If you want." The catboy, amazed, said, "I'd like that more than anything in the whole world, Pikachu." The blonde, shaking, leaned in and kissed him, his whole face red.

"I.. I l..love you, Nyasu."

"I love you too, Pikachu," he said, putting his arm around the blonde boy.
