A Fling Across Time
Chapter 3: Sharing The Blame
"Maaan, that hit the spot!" Ash sighed contently, leaning back in his chair while holding his stomach.
"I guess some things never change, huh, Ash?" the young man glanced over to the blonde who was giving him an amused look, shaking his head with a sheepish grin. "And you weren't even out there swimming today."
"Hey, cleaning is a lot of work, too, y'know. This dinner was earned," he retorted, earning a responsive giggle. Ignoring the slight aching from his overfilled stomach, he got to his feet before grabbing his dishes, moving around the table and grabbing the empty plate from in front of Serena. He glanced over to the other plate on the table, seeing the last bite of food be stabbed by a fork and brought into the blunette's mouth, before she set it down on the plate and offered the dishes towards him. He placed the dishes in the sink before leaning back against the counter, giving another sigh. With the afternoon behind them and the girls changed back into their regular clothes, Ash was kind of hoping it was closer to nightfall so he could just go to bed.
"So, what else is there to do around here?" Serena piped up, giving Ash a hopeful look before he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Not really sure, to be honest. I'm usually outside with my pokemon, so being indoors for a long time isn't really my..." Ash found himself trailing off, trying to think of what they could do as a group before one idea came to mind.
"Oooh, I think you do know something! C'mon, you never came out to swim with us, so you better join us on this!" Serena's playful scolding made her laugh quietly at herself, not noticing that Dawn was watching her an amused smile. Ash remained hesitant to respond: he had spent most of the afternoon cleaning the basement, so constantly looking at his liquor had only made it more tempting. He knew most people usually thought of drinking as a social thing, but would these two be okay with it? And Serena did have a point, since he never went out to join the girls swimming all afternoon. There was no way he could have made it through that with Dawn involved, considering what had happened in the past between them in that very same pool.
"...Well...I'm not sure if it's considered fun or not, but I do have some drinks downstairs..." Ash's suggestion seemed to make the blonde perk up, neither one noticing that the blunette started looking a little concerned.
"Really? Yeah, let's do that, then!" the Kalos native's excitement made Ash feel a little better about the idea, but it clearly wasn't the same for everyone.
"uh, Serena? Are you sure...?" Dawn remained concerned even as her friend looked her way with a beaming smile.
"Sure I am, it'll be fun! No need to worry, Dawn!" the blunette frowned a little as her own catchphrase was used against her, crossing her arms as she leaned back into the chair.
"...If you say so..." Ash glanced over to Dawn curiously, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"So, what kind of stuff do you have?" Ash looked back to Serena.
"A bit of everything. What's your favorite?"
"Hmm...Maybe some rum? Depends if you have anything to mix with."
"I got plenty of Coke in the fridge."
"Sounds good to me!"
"Cool, I'll be back in a-" Ash started into the edge of the living room, looking around the corner towards the basement entrance before pausing. After a moment, he turned on his heels, pointing his thumb over his shoulder. "Just remembered I kinda re-arranged down there...Dawn, mind giving me a hand?"
"Huh?" the blunette blinked, looking at him in surprise. She was clearly caught off-guard by the expectant look on his face, casting a brief glance towards Serena, who seemed just as curious. "...uh...Sure?"
"Cool, thanks," he clapped his hands and turned around again, waving for her to follow. The Sinnoh native rose to her feet, moving cautiously after him while feeling her friend's gaze on her back. She noticed Ash open the door to the basement and head down, quickening her pace to follow him down the stairs. When she reached the bottom, she noticed he was already behind the bar looking among the bottles.
"uh...Looks pretty clean down here..." she said plainly, her eyes moving around the room. Sure enough, the basement was practically spotless, thanks to his tireless afternoon while they had fun outside. Which only made her more curious as to why he asked for help...
"C'mere," her eyes narrowed slightly as he waved her over. She moved to the opposite side of the bar as him, putting a hand on one of the wooden stools as she watched him lower his head with a sigh, his hands holding the lower counter. "Look, Dawn...I know you're Serena's friend and you're looking out for her. So am I, believe me."
"What are you talking about?" she asked, watching him raise his head.
"I saw that look up there. And I get it, a guy suggesting that we start drinking together, you have every right to be suspicious. But I promise I did not suggest that just to get her drunk. You know I would never do that," the blunette's expression softened. It was true: there were many occasions where she would come to hang out here with him, and not once could she remember him suggesting a drink. Maybe it was because he felt an obligation to remain attentive for the sake of his pokemon, or maybe because they didn't necessarily need a drink to get things moving on a boring night, who knows.
"...Sorry. I didn't think I was that obvious," the blunette put her free hand on top of the other, rubbing her thumb on the back of it. "I know you wouldn't do that. I just-"
"Is she a lightweight?" she noticed one of his eyebrows raise slightly, making her give a nod. "Tell you what. Call it anytime, I'll fake being tired and turn in for the night," Dawn's eyebrows raised a little.
"You don't have to do that. Besides, she wants you to be drinking with her, it'll just bum her out if you leave early," the Kanto native's brow furrowed, his eyes looking down at the counter in deep thought. Dawn frowned a little, giving a quiet sigh to herself. "I'll keep a close eye on her, and try not to get too protective."
"...Heh. Never thought I'd hear you acting motherly," the blunette glared slightly as he grabbed a nearby bottle, inspecting the label.
"Oh, shut up. You have no idea how much trouble she can be sometimes," her response made Ash chuckle.
"Could say the same about you," he ignored the blunette's cheek puffing out in frustration, grabbing another bottle and handing it to her. "Here, it's almost empty, but should still be enough for Serena. As for-"
"I'll take whiskey," Ash arched an eyebrow as he watched her open hand grab the neck of a whiskey bottle, pulling it with her as she moved away from the counter. She paused just short of the doorway, turning on her heels and shaking the bottles lightly with a playful grin. "C'mon, don't tell me you've gone soft on me, Ash."
"Never," his response was quick, starting to chuckle before he froze up. He felt a bit of relief to see Dawn react in a similar way, remaining motionless as her eyes watched him rather vacantly. "u-uh...With the drinks, obviously! That's what I meant, I didn't mean...Well, I wouldn't-"
"It's okay," he blinked out of his rambling, noticing the blunette give a half-hearted smile as she turned halfway around, her eyes looking to the floor. "Guess that was a pretty easy setup, huh? That one's my bad," Ash wanted to apologize, but the blunette disappeared up the stairs before he could. He lowered his head with a sigh, the grip of his palms tightening on the edge of the counter. Crap, how could he let himself mess up so easily?!
Considering the casual nature of their former physical relations, Ash and Dawn had become quite comfortable with just about anything together. Which of course included talking, and their comedic tastes. Ever since opening up to their carnal desires, neither one had a problem with not holding back on the other, from displays of sexual affection, to teasing, and even just joking around. But of course, considering their libidos around each other were usually pretty high, this sexual energy began to convey through their words: even the simplest of remarks could provoke a dirty response from the other. The most common of which was their an all-time classic, and their personal favorite - any comment that could warrant a response of 'make me'. It was so simple, but damn, did it ever get their motors running back then...
Ash shook his head as he reached the top of the stairs, closing the door with another bottle of whiskey in-hand before he moved to the kitchen. He found the two girls standing over the island as Dawn poured some of the rum into a glass, which already contained a few ice cubes from the tray on the counter nearby. He noticed three bottles of Coke on the counter as well that had been grabbed from the fridge, making him look to Serena, who merely watched her friend with eager anticipation. He breathed a sigh of relief: as long as she didn't ask about Dawn knowing her way around the kitchen, then maybe this whole visit would work out.
Before long, the three each had their mixed drinks as they now sat on the couches in the living room, taking a shared sip together. With Ash on the loveseat and the two girls on the full-size couch, he held back a chuckle as he noticed Serena shudder a little from the drink, but he didn't want to say anything. On the other hand, Dawn appeared as cool as could be as she swallowed the liquid, giving a small content sigh afterwards.
"So, Ash, have you talked to Clemont or Bonnie anytime recently?" Serena asked, the young man giving a shake of his head.
"Like I said, I haven't really done much traveling for a while. I've thought about it, there are a few people I definitely wanna see how they're doing," he responded, the Kalos native looking down into her drink.
"Yeah, neither have I. I kinda feel bad about it, since they're so close to home. I wonder if Bonnie's had any luck finding Clemont a bride yet," she chuckled, making Ash chuckle at the thought.
"Oh, yeah. She was pretty gung-ho about that, wasn't she?" the blonde nodded in agreement.
"Sure was! I always felt so bad for the guy, it must've been so embarrassing!" she continued to laugh some more, earning a curious glance from her friend beside her.
"That's the brother and sister you've mentioned before, right? Who you used to travel with?" Ash and Serena gave a shared nod. Dawn smiled a little. "Sounds like it was a lot of fun. Makes me think about the tragic love story fails that were Brock's life, huh, Ash?"
"Oh, man, that poor guy," Ash's chuckle became more hearty, earning a curious look from Serena as he leaned forward. "And y'know, I've actually thought about that the past few years, and realized...Brock was kind of a pervert!"
"Right? We were just innocent kids who were so oblivious to it!" the blunette's smile grew, taking another sip of her drink. As she lowered her glass, she cast a playful look to the other couch. "But then again, I guess you were always a little more oblivious than anyone to all things romance."
"Oooh, you wanna play that game? How about Lyra trying to set you up with Khoury?"
"Uugh, please don't remind me of that! And I knew about that literally right away, you only realized it a few years later!"
"Minor details. Point is, you couldn't get a boyfriend even with help."
"That is wildly beside the point, mister. And doesn't even make sense, if I'm being honest," the blunette laughed to herself before taking another drink, Ash doing the same while Serena's eyes were ever-mobile looking back and forth between the two. To think earlier in the day, she was concerned that they actually hated each other! It was a relief to see them like this now, maybe all they needed was a drink to lighten the mood. Serena looked down at her drink and mentally vowed to keep that in mind, then took another sip with a single smile-inducing thought.
"This is gonna be a fun night!"
Ash swished the last small amount of his drink around in the glass, watching the display in front of him with an amused smile. Dawn wore a similar smile with flushed cheeks as she looked down at her lap, her fingers brushing through the soft honey-brown locks of the head that was currently resting on it. "I know you said she's a lightweight, but that is incredible."
"I told you," the blunette tried to keep her chuckle quiet, watching Serena's flushed expression not change as she nuzzled slightly against her legs. "This girl talks a lot of game, but she can't handle it to save her life."
"Heh, yeah, I guess it's been a while for me, too," Ash sipped back the last remainder of his drink, glancing out the window into the dark of night before looking down into the empty glass afterwards. Since they had first sat down, Ash managed to go through five refills, while Serena barely managed three before falling asleep. His eyes drifted over to the third glass in the room which belonged to the blunette, currently empty and positioned on the floor by the foot of the couch. Thankfully Ash didn't have much of an ego when it came to drinking, otherwise it would have hurt his pride and set off his competitive nature to catch up to Dawn's seven refills she had managed to finish. Maybe she was mixing hers lighter than he was...?
"I was mixing them the same, y'know," Ash blinked from his thoughts, looking up to the blunette in surprise. She smiled, arching an eyebrow.
"...Can you read minds now?" Dawn tried not to laugh too hard, not wanting to wake Serena as she covered her mouth.
"...N...No, idiot. You were staring at the glass, it was written all over your face," Ash's brow furrowed as he looked back to the glass, then shook his head.
"Whatever you say," he cautiously rose to his feet, taking a step before his body weakened a little. Dawn watched in amusement as he caught himself against the wall, carefully moving towards the kitchen. "Man, maybe I'm not so strong. Either that or she's a monster..."
"I heard that," the young man looked back quizzically as he reached for the counter of the island, missing slightly and nearly falling to the floor before barely catching himself. He noticed the blunette's head turn to look back at him. "Need some help?"
"No, no, I got it..." "Okay, definitely a monster..." the young man breathed a quiet sigh as he set the glass down, leaning over the counter and resting his head in his palms. The warm tingling in his body negated any pain or otherwise negative feeling, so he couldn't exactly complain about it. At the same time, it felt hard to keep his thoughts straight. "You need any help getting her to bed?"
"No need to worry, I got this," her calm tone was followed with a grunting sound, followed by another. He didn't bother to turn his head, hearing a third and final grunt before what sounded like a sigh. "...or maybe not. Little help?"
"Coming, coming," he took a deep breath and steadily turned around, moving towards the back of the couch before peering over the blunette's shoulder. He couldn't help but chuckle immediately, noticing Serena's arms were now wrapped around Dawn's torso and her face was buried in her stomach. The blunette looked up at him expectantly. "See? You could be a moth-"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence," Ash chuckled again, leaning on the back of the couch as he reached in behind Dawn's back. The blunette became tense, straightening up as she felt Ash's hands graze against her back, even with knowing that they were trying to help loosen Serena's grip. Sure enough, the blonde's arms began to slacken, until they were gently lifted around Dawn's torso before Ash paused, holding her arms in the air just above her head.
"uh...What now?" Dawn rolled her eyes.
"Here, you get her sitting up," the blunette took hold of Serena's arms before Ash followed her advice, snaking his hands in beneath her armpits from the back. He wasn't exactly in a mindset capable of full thought, so as he carefully lifted her up into a sitting position, his brow furrowed slightly at a soft and pillowy sensation beneath the tips of his fingers. He looked down curiously, his eyes suddenly widening a little as he noticed his fingertips on the edge of Serena's chest. "Okay, now- Hey!"
"S-Sorry, sorry!" he quickly drew back his hands and held them out defensively, backing away from the couch as Dawn glared at him. "Not my intentions, I swear. And you told me to lift her up!"
"...Just help me get her to the spare room," Ash cautiously moved around the couch as Dawn lifted one of Serena's arms around her shoulder, then froze as the Sinnoh native looked his way again. "But if you cop even one more feel, mister-"
"Got it, one hand will be on the waist, that's it," Ash leaned down and copied Dawn's position, the pair carefully lifting the unconscious blonde off the couch. Despite the liquor in their systems, they worked surprisingly well together to get her towards the spare bedroom: would have been perfect, if not for Dawn almost tripping over her own foot and banging her elbow against the wall.
"Ow, dammit!"
"Pfftaha, and you called me an idiot," Ash's chuckling made the blunette glare past her friend's flushed face at the one mocking her, then she glanced down at his feet.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yea- H-Hey, that's dangerous! Stop trying to trip me!"
"Don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, yeah, like acting cute is gonna help y- Oooow, shit! That island was...not there a second ago...!" now it was Dawn's turn to laugh to herself while Ash struggled not to hunch over, desperately wanting to rub the side of his hip which had just run into the corner of the kitchen island.
"Iiidiooot~" her chimed tone made Ash grumble to himself, feeling thankful when they reached the spare room. After they carefully set the blonde down on the bed, Ash started towards the door again while casting a glare back at the blunette, then his expression softened when he noticed her tucking her friend into the bedsheets. He leaned against the doorframe, watching until Dawn rose to her feet and turned his way, finally noticing him. "Not a word."
"...Sweet..." her eyes narrowed on him as he turned around, moving into the kitchen as she followed.
"What was that?" she asked, closing the bedroom door behind her quietly.
"That was really sweet just now. Kinda surprising to see it from you," Dawn's eyebrow raised as she crossed her arms.
"Really? So I'm not allowed to be sweet?" the young man shook his head, rubbing his forehead.
"Didn't say that, I just meant...ugh, you know what I mean," as his hand slid down to rub his eyes next, his other hand did a back-and-forth motion between the two of them. Dawn took a moment to realize what he meant, leaning forward over the island counter across from him.
"Oh...Yeah, well...Things change. I'm sure you've noticed the same with Serena, as well."
"How do you mean? I'll have you know, I haven't looked at her chest at all today, except when she brought up her-"
"Not what I meant, Ash. And while as suspicious as it is that you brought that up specifically...I meant how beautiful she is. As well as something else."
"Well...Yeah, kinda hard to miss the first thing. But what else could you mean?"
"Come on, you must have realized she still loves you, right?"
The kitchen fell eerily quiet. Dawn watched as his eyes gradually became vacant, his gaze drifting down to the counter in front of him while his index finger tapped against it repeatedly. She frowned a little, head tilting as she started to become curious about his reaction. Was she wrong? Sure, he was dense as bricks when it came to anything romance, but even after all these years he must have realized how Serena felt by now!
"...It's not that I haven't..." his voice was quiet after what seemed like a long time of silence, further inciting the blunette's nosiness on the topic.
"So you do know," she spoke quietly, casting a brief glance to the closed bedroom door.
"Of course I do...After looking back on it, even an idiot like me could figure that out," his head sunk low, giving a sigh as he scratched the back of his neck.
"And...?" the blunette leaned forward a little more, staring at the head of unruly black hair with expectant eyes. "...Has today helped you realize...how she feels now?"
"...Yeah...It has," his responses were so calm, it was almost annoying.
"...Sooo...How do you think...you feel?" Dawn was hoping she wasn't sounding too intrusive, but at the same time, how could she not? Hell, she had been listening to Serena ramble on and on about how great Ash is, and how much she wants to be with him, and how much she misses him for a whole freakin' year now! Damn her if she wanted to get a little closure between these two and bring this to an end!
"...I..." Dawn leaned even further on the counter, not noticing she was now only standing on the tips of her toes. She was really invested in this topic, after all.
"Yeah?" she inquired, waiting expectantly for his response.
"...I can't answer."
"Oh, come on!" her tone got louder involuntarily, making her quickly cover her mouth as Ash looked up at her with a furrowed brow. They both looked to the bedroom door, waiting and waiting to hear noise from the other side...but nothing. She breathed a quiet sigh of relief against her palms, slowly lowering them again. "My bad...But really?"
"I'm sorry, I just...I can't get my head around this! I have tried to think about this stuff, honestly! But anytime my own face comes into the picture, I just can't see it! It's like it...gets blurry, or...I just see negatives, or something, I don't know!" his response made the blunette sigh, rubbing above her eyebrow as she closed her eyes.
"Ash...Do you realize how honest that girl's feelings are for you?"
"Yeah...mostly."
"And do you think it would make her happy or sad if you said you wanted to go out with her?"
"I...guess happy, but that's-"
"So what is hard to figure out about this?"
"How can you of all people say that?" the blunette opened her eyes, looking at him curiously.
"What does that mean?" she asked, watching him rub his eye.
"Come on, Dawn, all those times you used to come here when we would fool around, you were saying the exact same thing! No guy understands me, no guy is nice to me without an ulterior motive, no guy tells the truth at all times, I don't know if I can see a real future with him, it's no different! You spent so much time coming here to complain to me about how all the guys you meet were either liars, selfish, lazy, egotistical, rude, or a combination of the sort. Then you would always wonder why it was only those kinds of guys that were attracted to you, but at the same time, you would come here to my house - the house of a guy you weren't dating - anytime you needed to burn off some stress!" Ash noticed a subtle shift in the level of her eyebrows. "B-But that's beside the point. My point is, you hated that the weird or bad guys went after you when the goods ones didn't, right? Despite you kind of - not as an insult - being...a bad kind of girl yourself."
"...I know that," Ash's brow furrowed. "I'm not stupid, I have thought about it. Maybe not before that first time we messed around, but definitely after, because I couldn't help but feel like an idiot. I knew I was being judgmental, and yet, I was doing the same thing women hate that men do! So you don't have to sugarcoat it, I get it. I just...want to see Serena happy, because I know she's been struggling with this for so long. And she deserves better," the blunette's head sunk a little as she sighed to herself, making Ash's expression soften.
"Look, I don't believe she sees...me. Like, me me, she only sees this...perfect image of me she's had in her head since we were kids! I have my bad points, obviously, but she doesn't ever seem to acknowledge it unless I've already fallen into a bad place! If you started dating a guy and he only ever brought up the good things - your looks, your smile, your success as a coordinator, you being the daughter of a former top coordinator - but never once bringing up a single flaw about you or wanting to help you through something, would you really be comfortable with that? Would you really think that they care about you, and not just a part of you?" since Dawn had looked up halfway through his explanation, she could only blink and stare in awe at the young man across from her. She thought Ash was simply avoiding the topic, but...he really had thought about this. A lot. And it actually made sense.
"...I...I guess not..." he watched as her gaze slowly drifted to the counter, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as if she were in deep thought.
"I don't mean to insult Serena, believe me, that's the last thing I want. But...I can't answer her, at least, not yet. Not until I understand everything," he scratched his cheek, watching the blunette not move before he put his hands to the counter and pushed himself away a little. "Anyway, that's a bit too much heart -to-heart for my taste. Especially with you."
"Oh, thanks," her sarcastic tone made him crack a smile as he moved around the island, pausing at the corner beside her.
"Come on, I'll help you up to bed, you drunk," the blunette looked over at his hand offered out to her, making her brow furrow and glance up at him.
"Excuse me? I am not the drunk one here, and besides, I'm sleeping right there," she stated matter-of-factly, pointing past him at the couch.
"No you're not. Come on," she watched in confusion as he grabbed her wrist, tugging her away from the counter towards the staircase.
"W-What? I thought you only had the one spare room," he didn't turn around, starting up the stairs while continuing to guide her behind him.
"I do. You're taking my bed."
"What?"
"Yeah. I thought about it since Serena first brought up staying the night. I was originally planning on Serena taking my bed with you in the spare room, but considering our so-called teamwork in getting her to the spare room, I don't even want to dare try getting her up the stairs. So we'll just flip you two around, and I'll still take the couch."
"Wha- But that's not fair, I can take the couch! It's your house!"
"Which means my rules, got it?" the hint of bossiness in his tone made the blunette feel a sense of concern. Not because of what he said, or what was happening; because of what other feeling just stirred up within her. "Almost there, c'mon, drunky."
"Will you stop that? Plus, I remember the way to your room, idiot, how could I forget that?" Ash felt the girl's wrist sneak out of his grip before he reached the top of the stairs.
"I can tell. Don't you think it was kinda risky getting the ice and glasses from the kitchen yourself? What if Serena had asked about that?" Dawn moved beside him, the pair walking down the hallway with a slight lean to both of them.
"Then I would have said lucky guess. Plus I could've pretended to check every cupboard and drawer until I found them," her response made him chuckle, nodding slightly.
"Oookay, okay...What if I changed the rooms around? What then?" the blunette arched an eyebrow and looked over at him.
"You would have re-arranged your whole house, just to trick me?"
"Would it have worked?"
"No, I- Wow, you really are an idiot."
"And yet you slept with me," the blunette stopped and put a hand on the wall, straightening herself up as she shook her head with a sideways glance and smile.
"Wow...Is that what you think? That I slept with you?" he stopped just as she did, turning to face her with a knowing look in his eyes.
"That's exactly...what I...think I'm saying? Wait, which is worse, you sleeping with me or me sleeping with-?" he stopped short as he felt a finger jab into his chest.
"Let me tell you something, mister. I did not sleep with you, because that would imply a moment of weakness on my account, okay? What happened that day only happened because of two things: one, you were horny and I was the only woman around. And two, I was just barely bored enough to be willing to try something crazy and unexpected," Ash's brow furrowed a little, looking down at the finger pressed to his chest.
"Riiight...I seem to recall it a bit differently. I'm pretty sure I had invited my friend over to celebrate me moving into my own place, and she had come onto-" her finger jabbed his chest again, making him wince.
"Oooh, I came onto you, huh? And how exactly did I do that?" she asked, leaning forward a little.
"Well, those little shorts of yours are a good start," Dawn glanced down at her attire, arching an eyebrow.
"Maybe someone should learn to keep their eyes off what's not theirs."
"Then you should've kept your eyes off the crotch of my sweatpants that day."
"My ey- Maybe you shouldn't start wandering around shirtless without a warning!"
"Because someone spilled their drink on my shirt, and it wasn't me, and we both know there was only one other person in the house at the time."
"Don't blame Pikachu for your nudity!"
"We both know Pikachu is not who I meant!" despite the quick back-and-forths between them, both Ash and Dawn realized something in the moment. Or rather, remembered something. It was clear from the non-hurtful jabs they were throwing at one another, the playful tones of their voices, the obvious attempts to bring one another down while not actually hurting any feelings. Neither one of them were serious about this. And the reason for that was because that's how it used to be: casual. Just some back-and-forth banter with suggestive comments.
"Ugh, you are still such a boy, Ash!" the blunette's eyes narrowed as she stared up at him, finally noticing the few inches of height difference between them.
"Oh, and I suppose you're an attractive woman who can do anything you want to, huh?" but there's one thing in particular about the past you must be careful with.
"Damn right. And no one can stop me," she pushed her open palm against his chest, making him stumble back against the wall.
"Wow, you are still such a child, it's adorable," her eyes narrowed slightly as she closed the hallway space between them, rising to her tip-toes in an effort to even their heights.
"You're calling me the child?"
"That's right, Dee-"
"You finish that sentence, I will put you in your place, Ketchum," Dawn's grip had found the corner of Ash's collar, neither of their eyes breaking away from one another. The thing to be careful about with the past is that it's like a pool: you can dive in and reminisce, for sure, but if you're swept along by a memory too strong...
"You shouldn't bark when you can't bite, might wanna keep it down."
Or you dive too deep...
"Make me."
You tend to get caught up in the same mistakes.
Neither one could comprehend who started it, but the fact remained that their lips mashed together like their lives depended on it. Ash's hands wasted no time in reliving old memories, finding their way around to their favorite place in kneading a handful of each cheek contained by those damn teasing shorts. Dawn's hands had found his cheeks in an effort to pull them closer, but her grip wavered and her thoughts were jumbled as they suddenly dragged up to his hair instead, her fingers weaving through the thick locks. They could both hear the smacking of their lips as one would try to get some air, but be rudely interrupted by the other. It was barely a few seconds before their tongues became entwined, wrestling within their mouths as the blunette's vocal chords began to ring. He felt one of her legs come up beside him as her knee planted against the wall, her ankle gradually snaking in behind him before her leg tightened around the side of his hip. His grip on the cheeks of her ass tightened, feeling her moan into his mouth before he suddenly yanked the girl upward. Their lips never parted as her other leg swung around his opposite side, her ankles coming together behind him before he parted from the wall, straightening up with the girl straddled to him. Her lips smacked gently as they parted from his, his tongue retreating from her mouth as they both panted heavily due to lack of oxygen. They stared at each other, not uttering a word as everything began to come back to them. The smell that hung in the air above them, the pounding in their chests, the lustful stares in their eyes, or the rock-hard bulge that Dawn's shapely behind was currently perched on. Neither one had forgotten a single detail.
"Your room. Now."
Ash didn't have to ask or wonder what that meant as he quickly turned and made his way down the hall, the blunette's grip on him not loosening in the slightest. During the time they would fool around, he learned one important fact about Dawn: when she wanted something - and I mean badly - Dawn would reduce her sentences to their simplest form. Why say a whole sentence when she could command with one or two words?
Ash heard the door bounce lightly off the wall after swinging open, his thoughts currently occupied with trying to walk while the blunette's tongue invaded his mouth again. He couldn't see, he could only hear their lips smacking together, he could only feel the plump roundness of that ass he could never forget, and he could taste the sweet saliva of that horny girl he had once called a sex friend. How the hell did he ever manage to get over this?
His back fell against the bed rather roughly, watching with a furrowed brow as the blunette brought one knee onto the bed beside him and crawled over top of him, her lips finding his like it was an oasis in a desert. He grunted a little as her hips came down onto his rather hard, feeling her shorts begin to grind against his jeans, which made the uncomfortable bulge attempting to break free from them even more unbearable.
"Dawn-" he could barely part his lips and get her name out before her palms found his cheeks and held them in place, her lips finding his again.
"Shut up," Ash swallowed his breath, feeling his erection begin to throb at that tone. God, that demanding tone brought back memories. Her lips suddenly parted from his and hovered towards his ear, her teeth nibbling on his earlobe. "Pants off."
"...You know that's not how this works," Dawn blinked in surprise as she suddenly landed on her back, staring up at the auburn eyes hovering above hers. Ash glanced downward, the blunette whimpering against her will as she felt one of his palms begin caressing her inner thigh. "You gotta play fair, Dawn. You may have started this, but remember...My house, my rules."
The blunette sucked in a shaky breath as he began moving away from her face, crawling backward to the edge of the bed before his eyes stared down at the young woman's shorts. He felt like a kid at a carnival who finally won at one of those rigged game stalls: and he was not leaving without a prize.
Dawn gasped as her shorts were swiftly yanked downward, feeling herself dragged along with them as she tried to hold herself in place. It took a few tries before the shorts finally slid down her legs, revealing the black lace thong hidden underneath. "And what do we have here...?" he smirked as he grazed two fingers up the front of the fabric, hearing a whimper from the young woman as he looked to his fingertips. "Pretty wet already, aren't you?"
"Like you're one to talk...!" he winced, glancing down to see one of her feet rubbing against the aching bulge of his jeans. "I'd say you're pretty excited too, mister."
"Then care to make a bet who lasts longer?" Dawn bit her lip as she watched his head hover downward between her knees, his face inches from her underwear as he glanced up at her with knowing eyes. His offer was tempting; she hated the fact that she instead moved one of her feet over his shoulder.
"Stop wasting time!" Ash smirked as he felt her heel begin to press actively into his back, his eyes shifting down to the black fabric before he granted her wish. The blunette let out a happy sigh as his nose pressed into the front of her panties, feeling his breath tickling her through the fabric. Dawn tried to keep it together as she watched him tease her, desperately trying not to make any sounds since she knew he would only enjoy it. Then without warning, one of his hands pulled the fabric to the side before Dawn could notice, his head closing the gap once again.
Dawn's back arched off the bed with a moan escaping against her will, her palm quickly covering her mouth before she sank back to the mattress. Ash wasted no time or mercy on the girl, immediately bringing his tongue upward along the outer lips of her opening, hearing another suppressed moan against her palms. With her heel digging into his back more roughly, her other foot fumbled its way down the front of his torso until it found his crotch like earlier, rubbing up and down along his bulge. He let his lips smack slightly off her womanhood, glancing up to see the blunette still covering her mouth with her eyelids flickering, a familiar look of lust in her eyes as she stared at the ceiling of the room. He smirked, feeling a sense of nostalgia at the sight of her like this: it had been far too long.
And he was not the only one who thought so. Dawn could no longer tell if it was the alcohol or her rising libido, but her mind was so fuzzy she could barely manage a proper thought. She could hear a small, distant voice telling her to stop this from going any further, but at the same time, her body was screaming for Ash to continue. She wouldn't dare tell Ash because he would laugh, but the last time she was intimate with a guy was about six months ago, so her body was currently being a little...needy.
"F...Fuck, don't stop...!" her moaning rang like music to his ears, making him glance upward and turn his head slightly.
"Sounds like the bet's already won, huh?" she bit her lip, watching him nibble playfully on the flesh of her inner thigh. She didn't want to respond, because obviously he was right. She just couldn't give him that satisfaction.
"S-Shut up...I haven't cum yet..." he raised an eyebrow.
"You think I can't do it anymore?" the blunette's eyelids flickered as she stared down at him, panting before she gave a small smile.
"Prove it, big guy~" Ash's eyes narrowed slightly for a moment before he buried his face into her crotch once more, closing his eyes and giving his full focus to eating her out. Dawn's teeth sunk harder into her lower lip, her hands tightly gripping the bedsheets to either side of her head before she turned her head, biting a mouthful of the bedsheets as well. Despite this, she still moaned loudly enough to be heard, which further drove Ash's confidence as he worked his magic on her. With how long it had been since their last night together, Dawn tried to think back on the guys she had been with ever since Ash, but only found her mind going blank: Ash still knew her pussy the best.
The blunette squealed against the bedsheets in her mouth, reaching up and pulling a pillow down over her face as her back raised off the mattress. Her climax exploded from her in a way that she had not experienced in years, and almost forgotten. Ash's body acted on impulse and memory, gladly licking and sucking up all traces of her love juices that squirted from within her. His hands remained on her hips as they trembled in his grip, her muscles twitching beyond control for nearly a minute before she collapsed onto the bed again. Ash smirked as he heard her struggling to regain her breath, licking his lips as he pulled away and put a fist on the mattress beside her, hovering over her.
"Been a while?" Ash watched the pillow slowly fall off the side of her face, her eyes narrowed on him as she panted for air.
"Sh...Shut it..." he smirked, glancing down.
"And to think you used to talk so big about lasting longer than me, even if it was only a little bit. How the mighty have fallen," his smirk and playful eyes of confidence made Dawn feel annoyed, quickly wrapping her legs around his torso and grabbing his shoulders. Ash found himself landing on his back, the blunette once again hovering over him before one of her palms roughly grabbed the tent pitched in his pants.
"Then let's see how long you last," Ash smiled in amusement, but couldn't help but also feel a hint of concern as she started tugging his pants down rather eagerly. It was no surprise to him that Dawn could be bossy when she got horny, and he had never seen her go very long without sex during the days of their physical relationship. So as she swiftly freed his manhood from his boxers, letting it spring upward into the air and her view, the heavy look of desire in her eyes was a bit of a concern for him.
And sure enough, despite all the prior experience Ash was equipped with, he was still taken aback as his entire length was consumed in nearly an instant. He could barely comprehend the eager gagging sound of his dick reaching into her throat before her vocal muscles constricted around him, the warmth making his whole shaft twitch happily. He watched as the head of blue hair gradually pulled away from his crotch, watching his shaft return to view before her lips stopped on the tip. Her eyes looked up to his with a devilish playfulness before she wasted no time sucking him back into her mouth, this time driving an audible gasp from him. He mentally cursed himself, knowing that a sign of weakness like that is exactly what Dawn was aiming for. Sure enough, he noticed her eyes look upward to him once more, hearing a quiet giggle before her lips pulled backwards again.
"Aww, what happened to your big talk~?" Ash watched as the blunette's tongue snuck out from between her lips, tracing small circles on the tip of his dick while she gave him a knowing look.
"D...Don't get cocky, this is nothing...!" Dawn's eyes narrowed slightly, clearly not amused by his remark.
"Really...?" he closed one eye, wincing a little as he watched the mushroom tip be pulled into her mouth, watching her head tilt before the phallic shape pushed her cheek outward. He carefully took in a deep breath, feeling her tongue grazing along the shaft as her eyes closed. He frowned a little, recognizing the expression on her face: she was clearly messing with him. He knew just as well as she did that she could bring him to climax in almost no time at all, but now she was playing with the tip inside her mouth like a lollipop. This was not Dawn's serious mode, for sure.
Beyond the edge of the bed, Ash couldn't see as one of her hands snuck down to the moistened fabric between her legs. He was first tipped off by the quiet whimper as she continued teasing his tip, letting her lips pop off of it every now and then before licking up and down his length. He then became curious as her tongue started to occasionally fall limp in her mouth, giving him the impression that she wasn't able to focus properly. And there was only one thing that could distract her from sucking dick.
As if able to read his mind, her eyes slowly opened and looked up to him. Her lips slowly dragged off of his manhood entirely, revealing the layer of saliva she had left as she panted lightly, her free hand motioning for him to move back. His brow furrowed, but he obliged regardless, shifting backward on the bed before watching the blunette crawl up onto it. His suspicions were confirmed when he noticed her other hand submerged behind her panties, making him smile as she moved over beside his legs. Remaining on her knees, she lowered her upper half closer to the bedsheets while leaning over his pelvis, her head once again lowering onto the object of her affection.
"You are such...a damn tease..." the blunette raised an eyebrow, putting her free hand around the base of his dick.
"If you wanna cum, all you have to do is ask~" her playful tone made him frown a little, feeling her lips suck harder on the mushroom tip while her hand started stroking the shaft.
"Y...You want it too, y'know...!" his comment made Dawn smile, sucking even harder to make him gasp.
"Yeah...But you want it more~" he grumbled quietly to himself, glancing to the side of the bed. She was obviously right, but he didn't want to simply say it!
Too bad Dawn was pretty keen on making that happen. Her suction would gradually weaken over time, her hand's stroking motion also slowing down until she would suddenly crank it up to eleven, going even faster than before. He couldn't help but grunt, but then the blunette would suddenly stop and part from him, leaving it twitching eagerly in the air until his excitement began to calm down. Then she would do it all again, letting the events play out until the same result where she would watch his manhood with a smile as it shook for attention. All the while she did this, her fingers would continue to pleasure her lower half, driving a small trail of her love juices to drip down the inside of her thighs, which Ash of course noticed. After the fourth time this occurred, she heard the young man groan.
"Fuck, Dawn, come on...!" the blunette smiled, giggling to herself as she gripped his dick, playfully wagging it back and forth and letting it tap her cheek.
"Come on whaaat?" his eyes narrowed in annoyance, glaring down at her. His eyes shifted to the small trail of liquid running along her legs, her ever-moving fingers showing no sign of stopping inside her panties. He clenched his eyes shut, groaning a second time. The blunette smiled more, watching his shift in expression that told her he was about to break any second. But as she waited for him to beg, she instead felt both his hands find the top of her head.
"Not this time!" Dawn's eyes suddenly widened, gagging as his dick drove into her throat as deep as it could. She coughed slightly, trying to pull away but his hands prevented her escape. An intense flash of heat coursed to her loins as his hips sank back towards the mattress, then quickly thrusted upward again, prompting another gag. Saliva began to dribble out past her lips, trailing down his shaft as her eyelids flickered. Ash smirked, parting his legs slightly to make it a little easier, then worked on getting his revenge on the cheeky girl.
Ash 's hips began to thrust in a rhythmic motion, using the girl as a toy to pleasure himself. And what did Dawn do? Absolutely nothing. Despite not wanting Ash to get the upper-hand over her, their current position brought memories flooding back into her mind, each one sending a flash of erotic sensations coursing through her body. She did like to tease Ash, but even after so long, they both knew fully well that she loved to be dominated.
Her eyes began rolling back, no longer trying to contain herself as she gagged audibly with each of his thrusts. Her saliva would gradually build, coating itself over his dick every few movements which only made him groan more. The intense suction of her throat brought memories back memories for Ash as well, making his rising libido start to ache within his loins. His grip didn't falter on her silky hair, and his hips didn't relax from their current wild thrashing. He looked down, seeing the glazed-over look in the blunette's eyes as they threatened to roll back into her skull. That sight gave Ash the final push to satisfy the both of them.
His thrusting grew faster and rougher, her choking now sounding as if she were desperate for oxygen. He knew from past experience that she was fully capable of breathing through her nose in a position like this, so the sounds she was making only further aroused him. Her chest fell against the bedsheets, her ass remaining in the air as her back arched from the euphoria currently bombarding her mouth. Ash could feel his dick throbbing from the sight of her, his eyes admiring the round cheeks of her ass. He noticed that despite her lack of focus and energy, one of her hands was still between her legs and continuing to provide self-pleasure. So with the added pleasure he was providing, she surely wouldn't last much longer. But he knew the same could be said for himself. The aching in his balls had begun to condense, a familiar sensation traveling towards his base and up into the shaft. He clenched his teeth, thrusting faster as the sensation grew more intense, groaning deeply as he delivered one final thrust into her throat.
Dawn's eyes shot open on his final thrust, her mind flooding with erotic memories just as fast as her throat was filled with his thick essence. No amount of time passing could ever make her forget this sensation, her womanly juices squirting through her panties beyond control as they dripped onto the bedsheets. Thankfully her body's instincts were still able to keep up with him, her throat muscles constricting around him as she quickly swallowed down each new burst of semen he would release. Ash's hips trembled as he forcefully held her head in place, heaving for air as he occasionally twitched from the overwhelming sensation of climax. It took nearly a full minute before his ejaculation finally began to subside, his hips falling back to the mattress in exhaustion. With Dawn's head remaining in his grip, his dick slipped out past her lips with streams of semen extending between them as she quickly gasped for air. As Ash struggled to regain his own breath, he wasn't aware that Dawn's vision had started to come back, her pupils trembling as they slowly focused on the dick beneath her. She looked carefully at the traces of semen coating his manhood, the thick scent in her nostrils bringing her mind back to the countless nights she would spend smelling this in this very bed, then she swallowed her breath.
Ash flinched, glancing down with a furrowed brow to see Dawn's tongue dragging from the base up his shaft, cleaning up traces of his load before bringing it back into her mouth. She swallowed, giving a content sigh before licking her upper lip, quickly pulling his dick into her mouth and cleaning it inside with her tongue. He winced, his hips trembling slightly until she finally finished cleaning him off, letting her lips pop off with another blissful sigh.
"Still so good...~" Ash watched as she sat up straight, panting with a drunken smile plastered across her face as she stared up at the ceiling. Then her eyes quickly looked to him, which he couldn't help but feel slight concern over. "Hey...Don't tell me you're already done~"
"Wha- No, I'm-" Ash's eyes widened a little as her lips suddenly mashed against his. He could feel a new warmth to her lips, along with a strange bitter taste as her tongue made its way into his mouth, which he tried desperately not to think about. Though it's not like it mattered either way: his mind couldn't focus on anything but what was still to come. After doing this much together, there was no way either of them were going to stop this now.
"Aaahn! Haah, that's iiiit...!" Dawn's vision started to fade in and out as it blurred slightly, but she could still make out the sensations of a pair of hands positioning her on her hands and knees.
"Quiet," his stern tone made her let out a heavy sigh, her cheek falling against the bedsheets as his warm lips found her crotch from behind.
"H-Hyahn! O-Or what...? You gonna punish me...?" her delighted tone made him smirk, driving his tongue into her lower lips as his hands took a handful of plump flesh to either side of his face. She could feel him groan against her womanhood, making her shiver as she panted against the bedsheets, before biting down on them as his tongue suddenly found a sensitive spot inside of her. Her hips tried to jerk away to the side, but his grasp kept her in place as his tongue continued to ravage her, driving squeals and whimpers of bliss from her vocal chords. "Fuuuuck, Aaash...! Seems like you've been...haaah...p...practiciiing...!"
"Is that what you think?" the blunette blinked in confusion as she felt his lips pull away from her, her brow furrowing as she whimpered in disappointment. Ash smirked, using his tongue to split the strand of her wetness that followed him before he yanked her underwear down to her thighs. Rising to his knees, he positioned himself behind her, massaging her cheeks and occasionally squeezing the favored assets.
"Nnnn...Hurry uuup, Ash!" his brow furrowed slightly as her butt moved away from his grip, her body crawling towards the side of the bed before noticing her reach for the nightstand. Her hand found its way into the drawer, fumbling around before pulling back out with a small package in her grasp. "Get this...on alreadyyy...!"
"Eager one, aren't you?" he smirked as he watched her claw the packaging open, tearing open one of the condoms and reaching for his crotch. He watched her apply the condom, hearing a quiet whimpering emitting from her throat before she looked up at him, a deep lustful look in her eyes as she practically pleaded him without words. "Say...You sure about thi-?"
"Don't you dare back out on me now!" Ash grunted, wincing as her hand grabbed his dick rather roughly and squeezed. He suddenly felt her chest press to his, her breath tickling his ear. "C'mooon, Ash...!"
Ash needed no further invitation, the blunette yelping as she was tossed over and landed on her side. No warning was issued before her hips were suddenly yanked backward, her knees planting on the bed while she arched her back, raising her ass into the air while a pair of hands massaged them. She gasped loudly as one of his palms suddenly smacked against one of the round cheeks, making it sting a little before he abruptly did it a second time. Dawn bit her lip, trying not to moan as she was spanked, but was doing a horrible job at it. Ash stared at her back with a smirk, then frowned a little as he looked up and down over the shirt that she was still wearing.
Dawn put up no resistance as she felt her shirt pulled up towards her head, then removed before being tossed aside. One of his hands reached around her and gave a gentle squeeze of one of the black bra's cups, making the Sinnoh native whimper in anticipation. Memories would tell her that he was normally more aggressive than this, but her hopes began to rise as she felt his other hand tug slightly at the strap across her back. She felt it slap back lightly against her skin, making her whimper once more before hearing the strap's clip come undone, watching his hand retrieve it from beneath her and toss it aside as well.
"W...What's taking you so long...?" her impatient tone made him smile, watching her butt start to wiggle as he grazed his fingertips up the center of her back.
"Don't be so impatient-" he glanced down as he felt her hand grip his collar, then winced as he was suddenly yanked forward. His dick slipped between her thighs along her wet wet and warm opening, his stomach and chest falling on top of her back as her fist gripped the collar of his shirt, her lustful gaze looking back at him.
"Then fuck me with that big dick already, Ketchum~!"
Then in a mere moment, both of their minds reverted to those from four years ago. Thanks to how wet Dawn was, Ash's dick pushed inside of her much easier than either of their fingers had, not taking long before the tip prodded against the depths of her pussy. She couldn't bite the bedsheets in time before he moved, so her moan rang into the open air as her eyes lit up at the sensation she had not experienced in so long. Maybe she was drunk when she was thinking this, but God, had it been too long.
Ash was in a similar mindset, clenching his teeth and breathing through his nose while her insides tightened around his dick. He didn't move for a little bit, taking the time to mentally re-adjust to how good her insides felt while his hands found her breasts. A firm squeeze of one hand prompted a happy gasp from the blunette, his other hand massaging the underside before his fingertips found the hardened peak at the center. She couldn't help but squeal, making Ash smile.
"Hey, not so loud..." the blunette whimpered quietly as one of his hands covered her mouth, making her look back with an apologetic look in her eyes. He wasn't honestly sure what to think of that face, considering they never had to worry about keeping the noise to a minimum before, but her intentions were made clear as he felt her ass begin to grind up and down against his pelvis.
He smirked, pinching her nipple again before he pulled his hips back, letting his length slide out of her before thrusting in again. This was a little quicker than before, but Dawn knew for certain he could still be rougher, so she started wiggling her butt back and forth instead as if to tempt him. And that it did. His next thrust was more aggressive, making the flesh of her round behind ripple as his pelvis collided with it. He felt her tongue find his palm, licking it while her breath from her nostrils tickled the back of his hand.
"Think you can keep quiet on your own?" the blunette glanced back with hesitant eyes, but gave a nod regardless. She could tell by his raised brow that he wasn't convinced, making her look ahead and grab one of the pillows, pulling it against his hand and looking back at him again. Cautiously, he pulled his palm away and watched her firmly hold the pillow against her mouth, assuming she was biting down on it as well. He used the free hand to find a cheek of her behind again, rubbing over it before delivering another slap just as he thrusted into her again, hearing her squeal against the pillow. Thankfully, it concealed most of the pitch, so he figured this should be fine for him to get serious.
Dawn's eyes went wide, moaning against the fabric in her mouth as his dick started moving to a rhythm, rubbing against each pleasure point within her that he could find. And to both of their excitement, thanks to past experience, that included practically all of them. She would feel him throb as he moved out, then twitch eagerly as it reached her inner depths, continuing this process as Dawn felt a pressure building in her abdomen. She knew there was no point in trying to hold it back, mentally cursing herself for being so weak since Ash would undoubtedly tease her about it. Nonetheless, she clenched her eyes shut and nearly screamed against the pillow as his hard rod drove her to orgasm, her vaginal walls clamping down around his shaft for dear life as her love juices leaked out onto the bedsheets.
"Fuuuck...!" Dawn fell flat on her stomach, feeling his body lay down against hers as she trembled beyond control. The deep tone of his voice sent a shiver down her spine, paired with a heat flash to her already burning loins as his dick throbbed against her insides. She was still feeling the waning effects of her climax when she felt his length start to pull out, making her whimper in her hazy state of mind. She could feel her body radiating disappointment as his tip reached her opening, then she sighed blissfully as he slowly pushed back inside. He did this a few times before he turned her onto her side, watching her eyes look back at him curiously as he pulled her leg up, letting her ankle rest on his shoulder.
She wrapped both arms around the pillow in her grasp, clenching her eyes shut and biting down hard on the fabric as he regained his rhythm in their new position. She could start to hear the wet sounds courtesy of her earlier orgasms with each of his thrusts, further driving her arousal as she slowly opened her eyes again. Her vision was starting to fade in and out once more, but thankfully her sense of feeling wasn't fading in the least, feeling every delivery from his pelvis. One of his hands had also found its way back to her breast, teasing her nipple while the other was wrapped around and eagerly gripping her thigh to help hold her upraised leg in place. Ash clenched his teeth, wincing as he felt a familiar sensation tingling in his balls. Dammit, he hated that he couldn't last longer than this, but it had been about three months since his little leisure trip to Unova, where he met a casual tomboy named Hilda. Thankfully she wasn't much of the relationship type, either, so their encounter was brief and to the point.
But Ash couldn't focus on that right now. He turned the blunette onto her back, her eyes fluttering open in confusion before watching him lift both of her legs up into the air. She looked back and forth between her feet as they came closer to her head, her body nearly folding in half as the weight of his pelvis continued to pound inside of her. She could feel his balls slapping the crack of her butt with each movement, her eyes looking curiously up to his and noticing the strained expression on his face. She smiled beneath the pillow, knowing what that look meant before she held the pillow in place with her teeth, reaching around her legs and pulling his shoulders in closer. Her nails gripped him tightly as his head snuck between her legs, his lips finding hers before driving her tongue inside her mouth as she started to moan. His thrusting started getting faster, making the blunette try to contain her squealing against the pillow to no success.
Ash suddenly gave one last thrust before stopping, grunting into their makeout session as his hips started twitching. Dawn could feel his tip deep in her pussy starting to grow hotter, as well as expanding as if it were somehow getting bigger. But they both knew exactly what that meant. One of Dawn's hands slipped from his shoulder, fumbling its way up to his head instead before her fingers sank into his hair, desperately trying to pull him closer than he already was. Neither one of them moved any longer until his climax subsided, the young man falling over beside the Sinnoh native in exhaustion. Dawn whimpered when his dick pulled out of her, glancing down to see the bulbous tip of the condom expanded from the sizeable load contained inside of it. The blunette bit her lip at the sight of it: there really was no other guy who could cum as much as he could. Or go as long as he could. Or be as hard as he could...or as good...
Ash let out a lazy sigh of air, his brow twitching as he glanced down to see the blunette carefully tugging the condom off of him. He watched her curiously - despite already knowing what was about to happen - as she brought the opening to her lips, eagerly sucking every last drop it contained before swallowing. Afterwards, she tossed the condom aside with a content sigh, then her eyes drifted towards his as she licked her upper lip. Before he could react, the blunette's face was already hovering over his as she sat on his legs, his dick still standing tall and poking against her stomach as she reached for another condom from the nightstand.
"You're not done, right?" her words made him narrow his eyes slightly with a smirk.
"You know I don't tap out until after you," Dawn couldn't help but return his infectious smile of confidence, one hand holding a condom beside her cheek as her other started stroking his dick. Her eyes never broke away from his, and vice versa, because both of them knew the other wasn't going to let the other win. But just as they always had, they could damn well try.
"We'll see about that~"
It looked like neither of them were going to be getting much sleep tonight.
Ash groaned, lazily dragging his hand beneath his head without opening his eyes. The minor adjustment in his position was enough for his whole body to refresh how he was feeling, sending a pulsing headache to his skull. A second groan at this pain made his other hand rub his forehead, then his head turned over and planted the side of his face against the pillow, letting his hand rest over his face. Thanks to the pounding sensation of the headache, he cautiously peeked one eye open against his better judgment, peering through his fingers and wincing despite the lack of light in the room. He could faintly make out the blurry dim glow of his alarm clock on the nightstand, as well as a dim outline of light on the other side of the bedroom doorframe. Crap, he must've left a light on before he went to bed last night...Normally he would think to turn all the lights off, so why would he have forgotten? He rolled onto his back again, sighing in exhaustion as he raised his arm into the air before letting it fall out to the side. And thanks to that, he managed to answer his own question.
He looked over curiously, lazily blinking in his tired state to his hand. His vision was still a little fuzzy, but he was able to see that his hand had landed on the bedsheets, but they were oddly protruded off the mattress. And quite a bit, too. He turned the hand over, patting the bedsheets. His brow furrowed at the cushioned sensation, feeling a certain springiness to whatever was beneath the covers before he put his palm against it, squeezing a little. He became more confused as he heard some kind of noise from beneath the sheets, making him rub one eye with his other hand before he slowly sat up. His eyes never left the odd mound of bedsheets as he continued to squeeze it, wondering why he was feeling so...nostalgic about it...
"Nng...Heyy...How long you gonna play with it...?"
The voice made Ash's eyes begin to open, little by little. A small sense of panic found its way into his heart, but being so tired, he couldn't think of why. Then again, he knew that voice...! His eyes trailed down the bed, noticing the bedsheets dip down a little before rising up again as another mound, then noticed the whole shape begin to shift. He rubbed his eyes with both hands, starting to feel more awake now as he noticed the bedsheets across the mattress were rather scrambled in an unorganized fashion. Okay, he wasn't this bad with making the bed. His eyes watched as the mysterious lump beneath the sheets seemed to drag away from him, moving a little to the left, then to the right, then to the left again. Ash noticed the closest edge of the bedsheets to the shape was at the foot of the bed, which it must have realized right afterwards, because that's where it went next. And when it finally found its way out, Ash fully woke up like a splash of cold water hit his face.
"Seriously...Is my ass that fun to play with...?"
As he stared at the messy head of blue hair, paired with the feminine yawn and lazy blinking of the similar-colored eyes that looked back at him, Ash's mind quickly recalled all of the events from the previous day. Running into Serena. Serena leading him to Dawn. Inviting the two girls to his house. The two girls swimming at his house. The three eating dinner together. The three drinking together. Serena getting drunk and needing to be carried to the spare room. Going upstairs with Dawn. Talking with Dawn. Some teasing jokes with Dawn. Getting to bed...with...
"Ooooh...Shit," Ash couldn't help but let his inner thought slip out while the sleepy blunette yawned again, rubbing her eye before trying to look back over her shoulder at where that voice had come from. Her vision was a little blurry, but she could tell someone else was in the bed with her. But she was more focused on rubbing her forehead, wincing at the headache pounding in her head. She was usually so good with drinking, did she finally have too much? She glanced down at her back, noticing the bedsheets reaching the middle of her back with the upper half of her body exposed. She was resting on her stomach, so it's not like she had to worry about her breasts being seen or anything. But wait...why did she feel a chill? Was she not wearing a shirt? Strange, she usually wore one, so why would she have forgot-
Ash watched as Dawn went through the same moment of realization he had only moments earlier, her eyes opening to normal as her now-awake gaze focused on him. He couldn't feel more awkward about this right now, his eyes drifting over to the mound in the sheets he had been feeling up earlier. And judging by how it was lower than the middle of her back, and she appeared to be lying on her front...no wonder it felt so nostalgic.
"...uh...Morning...?" his hesitant tone made him want to punch himself. He watched the blunette's eyes narrow slightly, then she looked back at the shape of her butt in the bedsheets, and then she lifted the sheets and looked underneath. She followed it all up with a sigh.
"...We...did it, didn't we?"
"...uh...Looks like it."
"...Huh..."
"...Yeah..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...So, uh...What do y-"
"Ash...before anything else happens today, let's get some things straight," Ash watched as the blunette sat herself, facing the side of the bed while her eyes remained fixated on her lap. She held the bedsheets up against her chest to cover herself, which he couldn't help but be curious about, because...What's the reason at this point? "First...Can we both agree that we might have...drank a little too much last night?"
"...Yeah...That's probably what it was," he rubbed his forehead, feeling another pulse of his headache.
"Not probably, that is what it was. There is no other reason this would have happened," Dawn's words made his brow furrow.
"Dawn...You don't have to deny that you get horny. I know as well as you do that you-"
"No, no, no. I do not get horny when Serena is around, I was not horny because I was in this house, I was not horny because of you. Got it?"
"But you- Fine, whatev- Oh...my God, Serena!" it dawned on Ash and Dawn at the same time that their mutual friend was sleeping on the first level of the house. Before they had gone upstairs and done what they did. "Oh God, oh God!"
"Hey, hey! Relax! There's a chance we might not have woken her up last night!" his former traveling companion's reassurance wasn't helping as Ash began to feel panic setting in.
"Shit, Dawn, how could that be possible? I mean, we might not have gone as long as we usually would, but still!" Dawn frowned a little, thinking about his comment. True enough, he was right: on a normal night together in the past, they could have gone at it for hours. Hell, on a really good day, it could've lasted until the sun came up. Maybe it was thanks to the alcohol last night, but the pair of them barely lasted two hours before they both fell unconscious.
"Look, no need to worry. I told you Serena's a lightweight when it comes to drinking, but she's also a super heavy sleeper when she's out," Ash looked at the blunette with a doubtful expression. "Ugh, just calm down. We still have things to settle before we can go check on her."
"Huh?" he blinked in confusion, making Dawn sigh.
"Second thing to agree on...We both agree - and I mean both of us - that this never happened."
"What? How am I supposed to pretend that never happened? How are you gonna pretend that never happened?"
"I'll just...I...y'know, I can...Ugh, dammit, fine! Scratch that one! But we cannot let Serena find out about this, and that one is not negotiable!" Ash rubbed his forehead, quickly nodding.
"Oh, God, yeah, obviously," Ash's agreement made Dawn breathe a sigh of relief. He might not have realized it, but they were somehow mutually agreeing on the decision with slightly different reasons: for Ash, it was because he never wanted Serena to think he was some kind of playboy or pervert. For Dawn, she didn't want her best friend to know that she had just slept with - and had slept with many times prior - the very same guy that Serena is in love with. "So, uh...Should I go first, and you wait here, or...?"
"God, stop overthinking this. Just go check if Serena's awake," the blunette's exhausted response made Ash slide to the edge of the bed, hopping out.
"Right, right," he got to his feet, pulling away from the bedsheets before glancing down and remembering he was naked. Clearly Dawn had noticed as well, because when he looked over to her, he noticed her head turn away quickly. He found his boxers and pants on the floor beside the bed, hurrying to put them on before walking towards the doorway.
"Hey, one last thing," he stopped just before the doorway, looking back with a furrowed brow. Dawn still hadn't moved, clutching the bedsheets over her chest, but she was now looking to her side with something he hadn't seen on her in a long time. Embarrassment. "...Never again, got it? ...For her sake."
"...I, uh...Sure..." he gave a nod, then turned and left the room, closing the door behind him. Dawn gave a sigh to herself as she let the sheets fall to her lap, staring down at her bare chest with a small frown. Jeez, how could she let this happen? It had been so long since they agreed to break things off, and it felt so long ago that she had already gotten over it! So why did she let this happen again?!
The blunette continued to mentally curse herself, getting to her feet beside the bed and searching the room for her clothes. She found her shirt close to the door, and could see her shorts against the side wall, but she had to go around the bed to find her underwear. As she reached for her panties, she glanced over and caught sight of a small pile of discarded condoms, making her swallow her breath. Her mind started recalling the events of last night, making her cheeks warm up. She counted four condoms, but she was much more used to seeing nearly twice that size of a pile in the past. She moved to the foot of the bed before sitting, slipping her feet into her panties before rising to her feet. As she bent over to pull them up, she couldn't help but smile. So Ash really didn't last as long when he was drunk, huh...?
"So good news, she's still asleep, we can just-" Dawn straightened up at the sound of the voice, noticing light pour into the room from behind her. She quickly turned her head around, now noticing Ash standing in the open doorway pointing over his shoulder, his mind now clearly focused on something other than what he was trying to say.
"Eyes up, mister," Ash shook his head slightly, forcing his eyes off her rear before looking her in the eye.
"Sorry, I...Serena's still asleep, thankfully, so as long as we're quiet and act normally, there should be no chance of her figuring it out," Dawn let the fabric smack against her butt, adjusting the fabric slightly before she sat down again to put on her shorts next.
"Good. I would rather die than have to explain this..." Ash frowned at her words, but understood. It might have sounded like an insult, but he knew that she meant it regarding Serena's feelings. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to find out your best friend is sleeping with the one you love, but he knew it couldn't be good. "I'm gonna take a shower before she wakes up."
"Huh? Why?" the blunette moved past him towards the doorway, then stopped and looked back at him like he was an idiot.
"Ash, the girl might be innocent, but she still has a sense of smell."
"What are- Oh...Oh, yeah, good point. Okay, you shower first, I'll clean- Oh, I can throw those clothes in the wash, if you want," Dawn glanced down at her shorts as she held her shirt and bra against her chest, keeping her breasts out of his view.
"That would actually be nice. Thanks," she put one foot out the doorway and glanced back with a smile, then stopped and furrowed her brow. He was standing a bit closer than he was before, and he had his open hand held out like he was...waiting for something? "...I'll set them outside the door, pervert!"
"Ow! Wha- Oh, okay, yeah, that sounds smarter," Ash rubbed his arm where she had punched him, watching her glare at him before turning with a huff and disappearing around the corner. He heard the bathroom door close, followed by a short silence, and then the shower running which made him breathe a sigh to himself.
Man...How the hell could he let this happen again?
END
I do apologize for how long this is taking, I have not been able to sit down and take my time with writing in such a long time. And even the occasional time I can, my mind just blanks and I can't get anything done. I do tend to get better bursts of inspiration in warmer weather, so hopefully as it starts to warm up here, I get more chances to continue with this story.
