Had half of this done a while ago, but finally completed it today. Don't expect regular updates because I'm more focused on my other stories. This one will also be a short story.
Chapter 5
"Pikapi?" The mouse watches his trainer pack a bag. "Pi pika pikachu pi pikapi." Pikachu scolds Ash.
Sighing, Ash swings his bag over his shoulder. "I'm not traveling, okay?"
The last time he packed a bag, he wanted to get in on the tournament season, which was about a week after arriving in Pallet Town. Pikachu had to reprimand him to remind Ash the reason for this sabbatical. Thus, Pikachu is thinking Ash is on the run again. Why even take a sabbatical if he really doesn't want to? And why make Pikachu enforce it on him?
"Pi pikachu?"
"I'm gonna go see, um, someone for the weekend." Misty isn't his friend, so he can't use that excuse.
The mouse narrows his eyes at Ash suspiciously. "Chu?" Pikachu knows all of Ash's friends, which must mean Ash is hooking up with someone. Pikachu clearly smelled the scent of mating on Ash early. It was strong.
"Just stay with mom. I'll be back tomorrow." Or Monday. Or whenever that beautiful redhead kicks him out. Mew. Ash took a gamble asking to sleep over because he knows Misty wants no commitment. He didn't want his question to make her block him off forever since it could come off as commitment. Fortunately, Misty is letting him come over.
Although Ash understands that Misty was once his childhood friend, he enjoys whatever it is they have right now. They have yet to speak more than 5 minutes to each other about something other than sex. When they're not having sex, being around Misty is very awkward. One, because they haven't spoken in 10 years, which is his fault. And two, because they've had sex multiple times.
"Pikachu pi pikapi." Pikachu shakes his head.
"I'm going alone. You know I wouldn't go on a journey without you."
"Pika!" If Pikachu comes with, Pikachu will know exactly what is going on. Can Ash trust his starter Pokemon to keep a secret? Pikachu can keep secrets for Ash, but Ash is worried about whether Pikachu can keep secrets from Delia. Pikachu loves Delia as much as Ash does, making it hard for the mouse to lie.
Sighing in defeat, Ash glances at his open doorway to see no one is around. He then whispers, "If you come with me, you can't say anything. And you have to keep everything a secret."
What is Ash hiding? And why? Nevertheless, Pikachu would rather know than not know at all, so he hesitantly nods. "Pi."
Ash and Pikachu shakes hands to solidify their deal. "Say nothing." Ash reiterates, causing Pikachu to roll his eyes.
On the way out, Ash tells Delia he's going to work on a personal project. She lets him go without any thought because she wants Ash to get out of the house more and have fun. As much as she loves his company, she knows Ash is restless. This is good for him, and maybe he'll find a girlfriend. Delia hopes Ash meets some lucky lady soon. The woman wants grandchildren already.
Once Ash and Pikachu are on Charizard, Ash apologetically pats the fire type. "I know it's a long trip, but can you take me back?"
"Char!" Charizard is always up for any type of workout and challenge. Flying to and from Cerulean City in one day is nothing for him. Pikachu curiously watches Ash, and the mouse is slightly hurt because Charizard knew Ash's secret first. Where is back? Nonetheless, Pikachu does know he'll be getting answers to this afternoon of Ash coming home late after spending the night somewhere.
When they near the large familiar building with the Dewgong on it, Pikachu instantly knows where they are. "Pikachupi?" Ash winces because he knows Pikachu is going to figure everything out. He can feel Pikachu's curious eyes burning holes into his face, but Ash is still trying his best to not look at the mouse.
Making sure no one is around, they land, and Ash thanks Charizard. Ash then finds the spare key to open the door while Pikachu is on his shoulder. Mew. The man is sweating. Every step he takes just tells him that Pikachu is getting close to the truth. It's difficult lying to Pikachu because Pikachu is always with him, and Pikachu constantly pries into Ash's life. The mouse can always tell when Ash is lying, though Ash isn't a good liar to begin with. Pikachu is surprised that Ash walked into the house by himself rather than ringing the doorbell.
"I brought Pikachu!" Ash yells into the empty house, mainly because he doesn't want a naked Misty walking out. If Misty walks out naked, then she'll be upset at him for letting Pikachu see her.
Fortunately, the woman is dressed in a tshirt and shorts. She won't give Ash the satisfaction of knowing she's eager for his arrival. Thus, Misty casually walks into the living room from the kitchen. She is wondering why Ash brought Pikachu, but she's missed the little mouse. Now, she'll always be eager to see Pikachu, and she doesn't mind expressing it.
"Pikachupi!" Pikachu leaps from Ash's shoulder into Misty's arms.
Hugging him tightly, Misty exclaims, "I missed you so much, Pikachu!" Her little yellow sidekick. It was constantly them taking care of this dense man when they were traveling together. Pikachu is so much cuter in person. Misty hasn't seen him in ten years, so she's enjoying her time with him. All of her sexual desires for Pikachu's trainer is forgotten as she cuddles the mouse.
This makes Ash slightly jealous, despite him liking the relationship between Misty and Pikachu. "Ahem."
His awkward cough causes Pikachu and Misty to turn their attention to the shy man. Misty then remembers exactly what Ash is doing here, and it's not to let her meet Pikachu. Shit. How much has Ash told Pikachu? "Uh. Hey, Ash." Yup. They're still on uncomfortable terms. When they're not having sex with each other, Ash and Misty have no relationship. This is not going to go well with Pikachu here.
"Hey." He sheepishly rubs the back of his head.
Suspiciously eying the blushing adults, Pikachu is about to say something when he catches a whiff of a very familiar scent. Ash worriedly watches Pikachu's nose twitch as he sniffs around. That familiar scent is Misty's! Pikachu smelled Misty on Ash earlier! However, that's not all the mouse smells, so he leaps to the ground in annoyance. "Pikapi pi pikachu chu kachu pikachupi!"
Facepalming to hide his flushed face, Ash mumbles a reminder, "Pikachu, you said you wouldn't say anything."
Yeah. That was before Pikachu found out his trainer has been mating with Misty who Ash hasn't seen in ten years. How did this even happen? "Pikachupi?" Pikachu scolds Misty who is also hiding her face.
Although she is very happy to see Pikachu again, she was not expecting the mouse to reprimand them. "Pikachu, I really don't wanna talk about this."
Pikachu, though, glares at Ash. Ash was the one saying he hates hookups. That they're not his thing. He's on this sabbatical to learn if he can commit to a life outside of Pokemon, yet he's mating with Misty? Are they even romantically involved? From what Pikachu knows, these two have not been in contact at all this past decade. "Pika kachu pi!" He needs an explanation.
It's too bad for Pikachu because Ash and Misty don't have an explanation. They have yet to have any conversation about whatever this is between them. "Pikachu, you promised." reiterates the man.
Giving them a very disappointed look, Pikachu scampers off to the arena part of the gym. He'll question Misty's Pokemon because right now, these humans aren't giving him anything. Ash and Misty watch Pikachu leave, and after some time, Misty lets out a breath. "Thanks for the warning." She sarcastically tells Ash.
"He wouldn't let me leave. I had to bring him." Ash apologetically says. More awkward silence. That's something that's been happening a lot between them. Ash had dinner at home, so it's night now that he's finally at the Cerulean City gym. He sheepishly rubs the back of his head and breaks the silence. Anything to alleviate the tension. "Do your Pokemon know?"
"No." A very curt response.
"Pikachu is gonna ask them about it. They'll find out."
Sighing, Misty leans against the back of the couch. "They were gonna find out sooner or later." All of her Pokemon know about her flings. They can just smell it off of her. "Will Pikachu tell your mom?" Misty knows her Pokemon can keep this a secret for her, though she's slightly concerned about Pikachu.
"I'll make sure he stays quiet." Ash reassures her. Silence. "Um. I brought some clothes." He refers to his backpack.
The woman nods. This is a lot more awkward than last night. How does she get things started with her flings? Well, everyone knows what the relationship is, so they get right to it. Ash and Misty haven't discussed it, and Misty doesn't want to. "You can put it upstairs." She leads him up the stairs and to her room because that's where they'll be spending most of their time. Ash hands her his bag to place wherever she sees fit.
After setting the bag on her desk, Misty turns to face him for most likely some more awkwardness, but to her surprise, he captures her lips. Thank Mew Ash is making the first move because Misty wasn't sure how to effectively do that. He continues kissing her onto her bed, which is next to the desk. Misty's hands slide off his jacket as their breathing becomes more ragged. With every kiss, Ash just wants to taste more of Misty's lips. He can't get enough of them. This is a lot better than whatever uncomfortable lack of a conversation they were having downstairs.
When they separate to take off the rest of their clothes, a smirk dons Ash's lips, irritating Misty. "What's so funny?" Ash taps his neck, causing Misty's blush to deepen. Very annoyed by his teasing, Misty forcefully flips Ash over so that she's on top. He showed her how he pleases women yesterday. Now, it's her turn to show him how great she is in bed. "Shut up."
"I didn't even say anything!" chuckles the man, though he soon starts moaning when her lips are on his neck. "Don't leave anything. My mom won't let me hear the end of it." Oh. Misty will leave something. She'll get him so high on pleasure that he won't even notice she's leaving hickies on him.
With Misty straddling his hips, Ash sits up to cup her cheek, thus putting a pause to their session. He gazes into those lustful blue eyes of hers. Although he likes seeing her lust over him, this isn't his favorite look from her. His soft gaze causes Misty to relax, and Ash slowly inches his face towards her. He doesn't like hookups because they feel like animalistic fucking. Mating, as Pikachu likes to call it. What Ash prefers is making love. He doesn't love anyone in that way, though he can at least pretend he does just for this moment. Just to get a good lay.
Therefore, he gently places his lips on Misty's where he slowly basks in the taste of her. Those soft warm lips of her along with his hand still cupping her cheek makes this feel a lot more intimate. As Ash deepens the kiss, he licks her bottom lip, asking for entry. Feeling her tongue, Ash knows he's got permission. Ash uses his other hand to brace the small of Misty's tender back since she's still sitting on top of him.
While Misty prefers the animalistic fucking because it prevents feelings from arising, she is taking a liking to this sensible man. With his slow pace, she can feel everything. Every touch, every kiss, every breath. Misty is curious about his body count because she never expected Ash Ketchum to be this good. Nevertheless, his kisses are bringing her to a state of euphoria where all thought is gone. Only her body is here, and she's allowing him to do as he pleases with her.
Feeling Ash slip inside of her causes Misty to gasp. He's gentle about it so that it doesn't hurt, but it's still a surprising sensation. Ash recaptures her lips, and his free hand dancing along the side of her body to rest on her hip. His lips twitch up slightly, which brings Misty back to her senses. Why is he smirking? Ash leans back onto the bed, letting her see his very evident smirk.
"Show me what you've got, Mist." comes his playful words as he brings his arms up behind his head.
"I told you not to call me that." That childhood nickname just makes them feel so familiar. They're not friends. If anything, they're just hookups. Not even friends with benefits because that requires them to be friends. Therefore, Ash needs to stop using that nickname.
"Make me." He challenges with a glint in his eyes.
Although the playfulness is pretty sexy, Misty really doesn't want him calling her that anymore. She decides to silence his lips with her own, which Ash melts into. There was a time he was curious about the feel of her lips. Years have since passed, though Ash is pretty sure kissing Misty is a lot better than he expected. How is she so good at this? Out of habit, Ash finds his hand intertwining with Misty's close by.
Feeling the touch, Misty stops kissing him, causing Ash to raise a confused eyebrow at her. She pulls her hand away and gets off his lap. "Why'd you stop?" Ash didn't want her to. If they're not having sex, then they are just awkwardly around each other. This is honestly the best way for them to interact.
Sighing, Misty starts putting her clothes back on. "Just didn't feel like it anymore."
Hold up. Just last night, she was the one asking for him to have sex with her. She was the one upset when he kept stopping. This morning, he wouldn't let her go. And now she wants to stop while he's very hard? That is now fair. "Why?" Ash sits up to watch her shrug.
"You should go pick a bedroom." She does not want to sleep with him right now, so he has no reason to spend the night in her room again. Plus, Misty doubts she'll be able to hold herself off from him later.
Why did she stop? First, he called her that damn nickname. She doesn't sleep with her friends, and Ash is far from being her friend. He lost that title years ago. Every time he calls her that nickname, she is reminded of their innocent youth. A youth that is long gone between them. No one wants to be having sex and thinking about their childhood, especially with the heartache associated with it. Misty thought she could move past the whole nickname just now, but when he intertwined their fingers, like it means something, she just couldn't. First the kiss, then the nickname, and now the hand holding. What part of "no commitment" does Ash Ketchum not understand?
Before Misty can walk to the door, Ash, half naked, stands to grab her arm. "Why?" Why won't she just answer his question?
She pulls her arm away roughly to shoot him a quick glare. "Consent can be given away at any time."
"I know." Ash awkwardly rubs the back of his head. "But can't I get an explanation? I mean. I'm confused, Misty. Last night, this morning, and now this? Like I don't get it."
"You don't need to get it."
"Why not? We're friends."
"We're not friends." She reminds him. "You forgot about me twice now, Ash. Don't call me your friend anymore."
"But-"
"Look. I told you that I don't need commitment. That is the only reason I even slept with you! Don't get any ideas. Once your little break from traveling ends and you leave again, I expect to never see you again."
Ouch. Although he knows he deserves this, it still hurts. His poor communication must've done some damage to her, which makes him feel more awful about this. Picking up his shirt, Ash obediently nods. To Misty's relief, he walks past her towards the door as he slips on his shirt. "I'm sorry, Misty." Obviously, young Ash Ketchum wouldn't realize the pain he's caused her because younger Ash was much more oblivious than this adult Ash.
Seeing his shoulders slightly slump while she had watched so many of his back and arm muscles flex as he put on his shirt, Misty mentally curses herself. She's feeling shitty about his neglect, though why is she feeling so guilty seeing him like this now? For years, she's wanted to lay it out to Ash about him being a bad friend. She didn't do much of that just now, but he seems to have gotten the hint for once. Nevertheless, Misty's heart aches watching him dejectedly approach the door.
He's only here for tonight, and he'll be gone who knows when tomorrow. What if he leaves right away early in the morning because of this spat? Because she wants to bring up old feelings to someone who is supposed to mean nothing to her now? All she needs is some good sex, and the only person she wants to have sex with is about to leave. What if she never sees him again? She'd rather have that scenario happen on her own terms: when he leaves to travel again.
Mentally cursing herself, Misty tells him, "Nevermind. Just uh. If you don't mind, can we watch a movie in here?" She still isn't in the mood to have sex with him, but she doesn't want him to go just yet. A movie will mean neither one is talking. It's perfect to avoid the awkward silences they've been having, and it'll prevent them from arguing.
Turning his head, Ash reveals a small smile on his lips. "I don't mind." He already knows Misty will put on a cheesy romance movie. Despite her boring choice in movie genres, Ash prefers being with her than being alone. He's restless in Pallet Town. Here, he hasn't felt so anxious. Yeah, he's slightly agitated and not sure what to make out between him and Misty, but at least he has some excitement back in his life again.
Fortunately, choosing a movie isn't too bad. Misty honestly just threw something on to avoid the awkward silence. Unfortunately for her, it's a romance movie. Because she usually watches romantic movies, those are the ones always recommended to her. Therefore, she blindly picked one of the first movies she saw, which is a pretty steamy romance one. Misty is awkwardly sitting on her bed while Ash is equally shy on the chair beside her. They're sitting as far apart from each other as possible.
Although they could forgo this uncomfortable situation, neither one wants to leave the other. Misty feels bad for making him come all this way, though a large part of her is happy to have him in her life again. He is Ash Ketchum, who was once her best friend. No. Misty. Stop thinking about that. Best friends, especially friends, do not have sex with each other. There is no going back to their innocent youths.
Ash's eyes occasionally slide over to the redhead. Misty had put on clothes earlier, along with Ash. Neither one is really sure about the movie's plot because they've been subconsciously focusing on the other. Besides for having something exciting to do outside of Pallet Town, Ash is happy to be around an old friend again. Well, he and Misty did have sex, contributing to the awkward air around them. Nevertheless, he still considers her a good friend, regardless of the time that has passed between them.
"Ash."
Her soft voice makes his eyes dart back over to the side of her head. "Yeah?"
Mew. This sex scene has been going on for a while, and it's the third one in the movie. Misty has since gotten over her anger from before, allowing her body's desires to take over again. She usually can last a few days or weeks after sleeping with someone. However, there's something about Ash that makes Misty crave him more, and it's not the fact that she used to be in love with him.
Finding her voice to make sure it's not timid, Misty's eyes remain on the television. "Can you come here?"
"Why?"
She mentally curses him for being so dense. Some things don't change, even if Ash looks more like a man than the boy she remembers. Turning her head, she meets his confused brown eyes. It's too embarrassing telling him or asking him. Thus, she opts to just take off her shirt, revealing the naked breasts beneath. Misty didn't bother to put her bra back on earlier. "I'm tired of the movie."
Due to her stopping them an hour ago, Ash isn't quite catching onto the obvious hint. Instead, he forces his eyes away from the half naked woman to look back at the movie. "Should we switch it?" He'll be sure to pick a movie with no sex or romance. This has been a very uncomfortable hour.
Frustrated by a lot, Misty turns off the TV. "I stopped earlier, but I'm ready now."
Oh. So that's what she was saying. The man sheepishly rubs the back of his head, still seated in his chair. "Are you gonna stop later? I don't think I can handle stopping twice in one night."
Misty takes off the rest of her clothes, making Ash shut his eyes. Even though he saw her naked plenty of times already, he feels nervous right now. "Just don't try to do anything except fucking me." Nothing familiar. No hand holding, no passionate kisses, no nicknames. Just straight sex with no strings attached. That's all she wants. And doing it with Ash Ketchum is very dangerous to her because he's the only person she's ever had feelings for. She can't allow herself to fall for him again since he'll be gone in a couple of months.
Contrary to Misty, Ash prefers all of that stuff. He hates having sex for the sake of doing it. It's the whole reason he hates hookups. Regardless of his own beliefs and opinions, his body craves Misty too. It's been years since he's yearned for someone like this. Plus, it's not an Ash Ketchum kind of thing to think before he acts. Misty fully wants him, so he'll finally relieve the throbbing he's had since arriving.
Cautiously moving to the bed as he takes off his shirt, Ash closes in on the woman still sitting on the bed. Their faces are a few inches apart, so they can feel the breath coming from the other. "Okay."
That's all Misty needs to hear before crashing her lips onto his. She tugs at his shorts, and he allows her to take them off along with his boxers, leaving them both fully naked. Misty manages to flip Ash onto his back. Straddling his hips she continues kissing him fervently. The whole time Ash has been here, there was so much tension between them. It's only when they're having sex do they feel at ease.
Feeling Misty's soft small hand grip his manhood, Ash lets out a small gasp between their kisses. Misty smirks, especially when she feels him hardening. The thing about Ash Ketchum is that he's always been a simple guy. It doesn't take much for him to be happy and content. Also, being his former best friend, Misty knows many of Ash's reactions for certain situations. This sexual reaction is new, but it's such an Ash thing.
As Misty continues tugging on him while making out with him, Ash's body is shaking with excitement. The moment he got her text asking him to come back, he has been excited. All he wants to do is flip her over and have her to himself again, but Misty is very resistant to him moving from below her. When her thumb rubs over his member tip, a small moan escapes his lips. He's been trying to fight speaking because he doesn't want to turn Misty off again. However, teasing him like this is making him want to just speak already.
Ash has a hand on Misty's cheek and the other on her hip, which is still hovered above him. He lightly pushes her down, hoping she gets the hint to ride him already. Instead, Misty removes her lips from his, and plants a long kiss on his neck. "Mew." He shivers in anticipation, clapping a hand over his mouth to prevent himself from saying more.
Fortunately for Ash, Misty is less patient than him, and she craves him a lot more. Thus, she eventually puts a condom on him before she slowly lowers herself onto him, causing them both to moan out in satisfaction. One of Misty's hands is clenched on Ash's chest while she bounces on him. Ash sits up slightly to continue kissing her. He doesn't like being the only one pleasured, despite it being nice. Moreover, kissing her keeps his mouth preoccupied from speaking, and it contributes to clouding his mind of thought.
Wet kisses. A steamy room. Hot bodies. That's all the two want right now, and that's what they're getting. They're only focused on each other. Misty picks up speed, making Ash groan in pleasure against her lips. Her back is arched, which is where one of Ash's hands is on. Moving some of the strands of hair on her slightly sweaty neck, Ash pecks it. He loves feeling her chiver from his touch. The neck is such a sensitive area, especially on her. Ash continues planting light kisses along the nape of her neck, each kiss lingering longer and longer.
"No hickies." mutters the out of breath woman.
"I know." whispers Ash. Marking Misty excites him, but he'd rather not piss her off anymore. Feeling Misty's nails dig into his back, Ash knows she's close. His own body stiffens up, and before he can think or do anything else, he feels the walls of her insides clamp around him.
Although he knows his groin is wet due to sweat, it feels more moist now that Misty relaxes in his arms. Her arms drape over his shoulders as she buries her face in the crook of his neck, exhausted. Ash plants a light kiss on the side of her head. Having sex is nice. Okay. It's more than nice, but Ash would trade it for this. This hug, though it resulted from Misty being tired from sex. Nevertheless, having this small woman contently in his arms just makes Ash want to keep her here forever.
"Sorry, I came first." mutters Misty, ashamed that she couldn't wait until he finished. His body along with his kisses just felt so good, she couldn't control herself.
With his lips still on the side of her head, Ash softly responds, "Don't apologize. I'm happy as long as you're satisfied." The fact that he can continuously pleasure Misty makes Ash very proud of himself. He always wants to make sure his partners are satisfied, even if it means he has to rub one out later for himself to finish.
Luckily for Ash, Misty has gained enough energy to move again. She does leave his arms, causing him to frown slightly. But when she takes off the condom and then lowers her face towards his lap, Ash quickly grabs her head. Misty curiously looks at his surprised eyes. "I wanna make sure you're satisfied too." It's an asshole move of her to just use him for her body rather than also satisfying him.
Ash shakes his head and moves his body from her. Reaching for another condom, he tells her, "I'm gonna taste like latex. Just, uh, if you're cool with it, can I go back in? I'll be quick."
Misty watches him finish with the condom. Smirking at him, she lays back on the bed. "No need to be quick." Women can last longer than men, and they can go many rounds back to back. Besides, Misty always wants Ash in her. She doubts she can get enough of him.
With her consent now, Ash's member twitches eagerly. Usually, he's very respectful and slightly awkward. Occasionally, in the bedroom, he'll show an extremely different side to him. A dominant confident sexy side that Misty finds makes him even more irresistible. Thus, when Ash roughly grabs her hips to flip her over, Misty complies by lifting her hips up in the air. "You just want to fuck." He reminds her and proceeds to enter her again.
Once more, the adults moan loudly from the sensation, despite just having it minutes ago. Ash starts out slow, like Misty had. Just to get a feel and a little tease. However, like Misty, Ash wants her body constantly. He can't control himself anymore, so he quickens his pace. Seeing Misty's hands grip the bed sheets tightly make him go faster. Misty grabs a pillow to keep in her loud moans. If the Pokemon hear her, she'll be too embarrassed to face them tomorrow.
Leaning over her, Ash plants light kisses on her neck and back while he continues to ram into her. Hearing her moans pleasure him more, but with Misty muffling them, Ash is somewhat upset. He grabs the pillow to toss over the side of the bed, which makes Misty scold him, "Hey, I ne-oh! Fuck!" As she tries to now bury her face in the bed, Ash grabs her chin to kiss her passionately.
With their lustful bodies in sync of each other, the moment Misty cums again, the sensation of her tightening walls causes Ash to finally finish. He collapses on top of her, both panting in exhaustion. Careful not to crush Misty, Ash rolls off of her and to the side. He tiredly reaches for the condom to take off. With his manhood shrinking, and the lust in him being satisfied, Ash is beginning to have a clear head again.
Misty too is thinking with a clearer head. She just had sex with Ash again. Really great sex too, but it was still sex with Ash! Just what is she doing to herself? She can reprimand herself all she wants, though she knows she'll do it again if he lets her. Turning her head slightly at the man with his eyes shut in thought, Misty says, "Ash."
Her voice breaks him from his own inner quarrel. Facing her too, Ash sees they're inches away from kissing. Not like they haven't kissed before. "Yeah?"
"Remember to keep this relationship between us."
"Oh. Uh. Yeah." Wow. Misty is really strict about this. She didn't even wait for them to catch their breaths after sex. "Um. What kinda relationship is this?"
Blushing, Misty is glad the room is dark enough for Ash not to notice her face color. "We're just two people who have sex. I mean, if you agree. I won't force anything on you."
"I agree!" Ash quickly states. A little too quickly because Misty now suspiciously eyes him.
Why is he sounding so eager? Can she read into it? She shouldn't because he'll be gone this time next year, forgetting about her again. Moreover, she has no time for commitment. It's just better than all they do is have sex. "Okay. No surprise visits though. We text and wait for permission first."
"I'll text you. There's no way we'll be able to do this at my mom's house." Ash also prefers leaving small Pallet Town for a change of scenery.
Nodding, Misty fights the urge to continue looking into those deep brown pools. Facing the ceiling with her eyes shut, she lets out a long breath."Sounds good."
"I have a request too." Ash pipes up after finding the courage to do so. So far, it's just been Misty placing rules on him. This is a partnership; thus, he has a say too, right?
"What is it?" sighs Misty.
"Since Cerulean City is far from Pallet Town, I'll have to be here for a while at a time. We won't be having sex the whole time I'm here." Although, Ash wouldn't mind it. "So uh, I don't want us to be awkward when we're not having sex." It was unbearable when he arrived today and they didn't know how to interact.
That's easier said than done. Misty already can feel the awkward air returning. They did have sex, and they were once childhood best friends. It's very awkward! However, she can't just kick him out to a hotel, nor can she just ignore him when they're not having sex. Technically, he's still her guest, and she's not rude enough to just use him and dump him when it's convenient for her. Inwardly groaning, Misty reluctantly responds, "Fine, but if I tell you I don't wanna talk about something, you need to stop. No questions asked."
There are a lot of topics she'd rather avoid: their old travels, her flings, his flings, their goals. They are not friends anymore, so there's no need for that. Misty can make useless small talk. Hopefully, she and Ash will be having enough sex to bypass the conversations. That and he would be training and interacting with the Pokemon. She understands Ash's request, but it's still uncomfortable.
"Okay." Ash nods. Silence.
Eventually, to escape the situation as well as practice safe sex, Misty heads for the shower. She expects Ash to find a guest room once he recovers energy. He did go pretty hard in that last round. Where did Ash learn to have sex like this? Thinking about sex with him makes her blush again, so she hurries into the bathroom.
Some time later, Misty walks out of her bathroom as Ash is watching an old Sinnoh battle playing on the TV. Misty wants Ash to just go to a guest bedroom to save them from this awkwardness. Doesn't he understand that they're nothing besides people who have sex with each other? Nevertheless, the awkwardness keeps her from lashing out at him. Instead, she asks, "What are you watching."
Ash has been peeking at her since the moment she exited the bathroom. He just hopes she hasn't noticed. Mew. Misty has a towel wrapped around her hair and body, though Ash can only picture what's beneath. "The Sinnoh championship battle from last season." Ash enjoys watching Paul's battles. Well, he enjoys watching all of his friends compete, even his coordinator ones.
Misty nods as her attention turns to the TV. "Paul's battles are pretty boring."
"You watch Paul battle?" The slightly jealous man inquires. Why is Misty watching Paul's battles? Even though Ash knows Dawn is dating Paul, it still bothers Ash that Misty knows about Paul's battles. How does Misty even know Paul? Do they know each other? How close are they? Does Misty watch Ash's battles too?
She shrugs. "Sometimes it's playing wherever I'm at."
Occasionally, Misty is out and the Sinnoh championship battle will be on. All the regional championships don't necessarily fall on the same day, depending on how many contenders there are. Sometimes, competitors can't get past the Elite Four, so there is no Championship battle. Misty has seen a few of Paul's battles due to these various reasons just because the Sinnoh battle may be the only one on TV. The reason Paul's battles are boring is because he's such a strong champion that he quickly defeats all of his challengers. It's not interesting to watch a very one-sided battle.
"Do you watch my battles?" The eager man is curious what she thinks of his battles.
With a slightly pink blush, Misty bites her bottom lip, which Ash finds utterly attractive. "Not since you won the Alola League. The championship match was playing here because that was Alola's first tournament." She won't let him think that she actively watches his battles. That stopped years ago.
"I'll be sure to make it to Red next year, so you can watch me." grins Ash, causing Misty to feel her heart ache. That reminder that he'll be leaving again. That boyishly handsome grin of his that she's missed. It's not fair that he has this effect on her, but she just craves him too much to let him go now. Not while he's here and willing to be with her.
Therefore, Misty slips off her towels, making Ash's jaw drop. "We're not friends, Ash. You can go watch the battle in a different room, or you can have sex with me." That's all the man needs to hear to shut off the TV and pull Misty into his embrace. This is all Misty wants from him, though her heart is telling her she wants more. More than just sex. Nevertheless, she allows her lust to shut down any other emotions within her, especially when Ash takes her breath away again.
