Chapter 2 best friends

Ash and May cuddled beside each other on the ship's deck as they slept under the stars. They both seemed very peaceful and very happy and that was the truth. Before long the sun began to rise above the horizon. May's eyes flickered slightly at the bright light. She lifted her head up and looked

"Wow…" she whispered and unintentionally woke Ash up

"Wha?..." he said groggily

"Ash look!" she whispered and pointed at the sun rise

'Wow…" he said softly and they both got up to take a better look. They stood by the railing in a slightly awkward silence. The two of them still had a hard time processing what happened last night. This whole couple thing was still new to them. Especially Ash…

Without them noticing their hands brushed against each other and made contact. Slightly embarrassed and frightened by it they retreated their hands as the watched thee sun rise as Manaphy kept jumping in and out of the water in the background. Their hands instinctively approached each other once more but this time, they stayed together. May had her palm on his and she gave it a light squeeze to which he blushed slightly and she giggled playfully. She got closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder which made him even more embarrassed

"You don't mind do you?" she asked

"Uhh…" was all he could say

"Oh good so you don't mind" she said. She enjoys teasing him about this and making him blush. He gulped hard and could feel his mouth dry out. He finally opened it too speak

"No I don't mind…"

"Good" she said happily and continued to rest her head on his shoulder. They stayed like that for a while until the sun has fully risen. Then they decided to go inside to have some breakfast. They were greeted by the rest of the group already eating

"Morning guys" said Brock

"Morning, Brock" the two said together and sat down

"How'd you sleep?" asked Elizabeth

"Fine" the two said together again

"So Sis, how does it feel to have a boyfriend? Did you too 'kiss' yet?" teased Max as the two blushed and May squirmed in her seat

"Quit it Max you're embarrassing me" she said as he laughed

"I'm just kidding Sis. I'm happy for you" he said and put a mouthful of bacon in his mouth

"Thanks" May said a little shyly

"Yeah thanks Max" added Ash

"I do have one request though" said May

"Wachtts thacht?" asked Max with the food still in his mouth

"Don't talk with your mouth full" she said and they all laughed including Max. a while later they reached land and they got off. Our heroes said goodbye to the water people and went their separate ways. They spent the next few hours relaxing in the park and playing with their Pokémon. After a while Max fell asleep in the grass along with the rest of the Pokémon. Ash scooted closer and whispered in her ear

"Hey you want to go get some ice cream?"

"Sure. But is this a date or just a friendly offer?" she asked

Ash blushed slightly before he answered…
