Imagine your OTP
Shipping: Leafgreenshipping
Person A: Leaf
Person B: Gary
Imagine your OTP, whilst not in a relationship, going to a hotel after a long road trip and finding out there's only one room left, with 1 small double bed in it.
. . .
"Turn that dumb music down," Leaf moaned, pulling her feet up onto the car seat and slapping her hands over her ears. Gary snorted but obliged as the brunette continued. "When are we going to get to that hotel, anyways?"
The spiky-haired brunet turned the knob, lowering the volume before he answered her. "Soon," he said. "Ashy-boy said it was in Fuchsia City, and we're almost there right now."
Leaf groaned, throwing her head back and slouching even farther in her seat. If it weren't for Ash Ketchum, she complained in her head, I wouldn't be trapped in a car with Gary Oak right now.
What she said was true, though. Ash had insisted that his two childhood best friends – Gary and Leaf – come with him and his girlfriend Misty to Fuchsia City to visit the Safari Zone, something that neither Leaf nor Gary wanted to do. Gary had been forced to go by his grandfather, Professor Oak – "For research!" he had said, much to the brunet's disdain – while Leaf had simply been kicked out of the house by her brother when she refused to go.
The moment Gary parked the car in the parking lot of the "Dodrio Hotel" Leaf hopped out of the car, slamming the door shut before Gary could even finish his sentence. "Okay, we're he-."
"Freedom! Finally!" Leaf shouted as she ran towards the door, fist pumping the air. Gary rolled his eyes as he got out of the car.
"Dumb girl forgot her luggage…"
"Hello, do you have a reservation?" the lady at the front desk was asking Leaf with a smile as Gary walked in through the sliding glass doors.
"Yeah. There should be two rooms – each with one queen sized bed – under the name Ash Ketchum. One for me and then one for my friend here," Leaf said as Gary walked up to them, motioning to the spiky-haired brunet.
"Okay, one second." The lady gave the two a brief smile before turning her attention to the computer in front of her as she searched for their reservation. After a moment, however, a frown tugged at her features.
"Oh my…" she began, catching Leaf and Gary's attention. "It says there's only one room reserved under the name Ash Ketchum, and it says somebody's already checked in to it…"
Leaf and Gary glanced at each, and then Gary leaned forward on to the desk. "Are you sure?" he asked. "Our friend Ash said he reserved one for both of us…"
The lady nodded, clicking on something on her computer. "Yes. But I can check you in to one of the open rooms right now, if you'd like."
"Two separate rooms, right?" Leaf asked before Gary could say anything. They'd gotten into a large argument quite a few years back, and even now they were teetering on the edge between being friends or enemies. She didn't want to get stuck in a room with that cocky idiot if she couldn't help it.
"Sure, if you'd like," the lady replied, typing in something on her computer. Leaf visibly relaxed, ignoring the look Gary cast at her, and waited for the lady to finish.
But of course something just had to go wrong.
Once again the lady frowned. "I'm sorry, but it seems like we only have one open room left…" She looked up, ignoring the two's surprised looks. "Would you still like it, anyways?"
Leaf eye's twitched, but she forced out a, "Could you give us a second, please?" before dragging Gary across the lobby by the arm.
"What?" Gary asked in an annoyed voice once Leaf let go of him.
"I'm not sleeping in a room with you," Leaf vehemently hissed at him.
"I didn't know you wanted to sleep with me in the first place, Leafy," Gary flirtatiously purred, but quickly dropped the seductive act when she punched him in the gut. "Okay, I got it," he wheezed, clutching at his stomach as Leaf nonchalantly blew on her nails. "No more flirting with you. Can't we just get that room, though? I'd rather share a room with you than have to sleep in the gutters."
Leaf shot him a glare. "Was that an insult?"
"No." Gary quickly shook his head. "I'll sleep on the ground, too, as long as you don't try to kill me while I'm sleeping. Deal?"
He held out his hand, and Leaf eyed it warily before reaching out and shaking it. "Fine," she agreed, "but come within five feet of me at any time and I will kill you, regardless."
Gary's lips curved into a smirk. "I can live with that.
. . .
Leaf slid the card through the slot in the door handle, causing a small red light flashed green, signaling that the door had been unlocked. Holding back a small smile she opened the door and took a step inside, turning her head to survey the room…
...Only for her mouth to drop open in shock.
Gary stepped inside a second later. "Hey, why'd you just stop sudden- whoa," Gary gawked, dropping his bag on the ground as his jaw mimicked Leaf's earlier actions. "This room is small," he finally said, walking past Leaf and further into the pitifully small room, gently closing Leaf's mouth with his head – and ignoring the way she flinched away and glared at him.
The room could rival the size of a closet – and not the walk-in kind, mind you. In fact, there was only barely just enough room for a double sized bed to fit into the small area of the room, and to say it was a snug fit wouldn't rightfully describe how tight of a squeeze it was.
And what was worst was that there was no floor space. None at all.
"Are you kidding me?" Leaf forced herself to stay calm. "This… This isn't even… This isn't even a room!" She finally exploded. "How do they expect a person – let alone two people – to fit in a room this small? I swear I'm going to march back down to the front desk and give them a piece of my mind about this ro-!"
"Leaf, it's fine." Gary calmly cut her off, sitting down on the edge of the bed. "Besides-" He paused to grin up at her. "-now we get to share a bed, just like you wanted!"
Leaf could have sworn something fled her brain at that moment. Her sanity? Maybe. Her self-control? Definitely. Her hands balling up into fists, Leaf grinded her teeth together and tried not to lunge for the brunet's neck.
"Do you want me to kill you?"
. . .
And so that's how Leaf Green found herself laying in a double sized bed next to Gary Oak five hours later.
She was literally pressed up against the wall to put as much distance between herself and the spiky-haired brunet as she could, who was at least trying to make an effort to keep to his own space, despite his earlier words.
Why me? Leaf asked herself, pressing her forehead to the cold wall. She squeezed her eyes shut and valiantly tried to fall asleep. This is all Ash's fault.
After a while of unsuccessful attempts to let sleep overtake her (this included counting Mareep and singing lullabies in her head) Leaf finally gave up and stopped fidgeting, leaving the room to fall silent. She could hear Gary's quiet breathing beside her, and could tell that he was already asleep.
Feeling a bit daring, she turned over so that she was facing him and not the wall, and cautiously peered down at his sleeping face.
Gary's kind of cute when he's asleep, she bemusedly thought, a small smile tugging at her lips. I think he's a lot more handsome when he doesn't have that annoying smirk on his face… wait a minute. Leaf frowned. Gary, handsome? No, my mind is just tired; it's spewing random nonsense…
Suddenly, without warning, Gary rolled over and wrapped an arm around Leaf's waist, causing her to let out a muffled squeak as he unconsciously pulled her into his chest. Eyes wide, Leaf tried to push him away from her, but his grip around her waist too strong, and all he did was grunt in his sleep.
"I am so beating him up when he wakes up," Leaf quietly hissed to herself, but even as she said that she could feel herself slowly drifting off to sleep in the comfort of Gary's arms, and soon enough both the spiky-haired brunet and the green-eyed girl were fast asleep, cuddled together in the small bed.
. . .
It had to be at least 11:00am when a loud banging on their door jolted the two awake, followed by a call of, "Room service! Hello? Is anyone awake? We need to clean this room!"
"Clean? What's there to clean in this puny room?" Gary grumbled, half-asleep and barely noticing the way a red faced Leaf leapt away from where she had been sleeping with her head and a hand resting on his chest.
"I-It doesn't matter," Leaf stammered, leaping out of the bed and snatching her bag up from the floor. "Let's just grab our stuff and get out of here so they can clean."
Gary groaned a complaint about wanting to sleep more, but in the end rolled off the bed and ran a hand through his hair before packing up what little things he had taken out of his bag.
A few minutes later the duo were out the door, ignoring the suggestive eyebrow-wiggle the cleaning lady gave them as they exited the room – but with the ruffled way both her and Gary's slept in/on clothes and hair looked, Leaf asked herself what person wouldn't wonder what they had been doing in there, not that they had been doing anything, that is.
Still, Leaf stayed silent on the elevator ride down to the main lobby, shuffling her feet awkwardly and looking anywhere but at Gary. Did he even remember pulling her into his embrace last night? Leaf didn't think he did.
However, the moment the elevator door dinged open all of Leaf's thoughts about Gary flew out the window upon seeing the raven-haired boy and redheaded girl sitting in the lobby.
"Ash Ketchum!" she roared, heading towards the boy with a fist raised.
Said boy along with his companion turned to look at the approaching brunette, and smiled widely at her despite the murderous look in her eyes. "Hey Leaf!" he cheerily began, but was quickly cut off when she hit him on the head with her fist.
"You idiot!" Leaf exclaimed. "You forgot to make reservations for me and Gary, and because I that I had to share a room with him last night!" There was no way she would ever tell anyone that she actually had to share a bed – not just a room – with Gary, not even if her life depended on it. She'd be extremely embarrassed if anyone knew.
"Ah, sorry, sorry!" Ash yelped, trying to avoid Leaf's fist (at least it wasn't Misty's mallet). "I could have sworn I reserved rooms for all of us!"
"Yeah, you better be sorry-!" Leaf growled and prepared to hit Ash again, but Gary caught her wrist in his grip before she could.
"Calm down, Leafy," he drawled. "It was just a little mistake – and we know how many of those Ash makes." Ignoring the indignant cry from Ash in the background, Gary continued, "And anyways, I'm hungry, so why don't the four of us go out a grab some brunch before we go to the, uh… Safari Zone, was it?"
Leaf could hear the disdain in his voice when Gary spoke of the place that they had been forced to come here because of, but she didn't have time to think anything before Ash – whose eyes lit up upon hearing the word "brunch", which implied there would be food – took off out the door and towards the nearest restaurant.
"Wait, Ash, you idiot!" Misty shouted, starting after him. "Wait up for the rest of us!"
Leaf watched as Misty, too, disappeared out of the hotel doors, and took a step to follow her when a small tug that pulled her back reminded her that Gary still had a grip on her wrist. Slowly, she turned to look back at the spiky-haired brunet. "What?" she asked in a monotone voice, trying to keep her expression blank.
She perked an eyebrow upon seeing the smirk on Gary's lips, and opened her mouth to speak when Gary leaned down and whispered into her ear; his breath warm on her neck.
"I remember last night, you know."
And with that Gary abruptly let go of her wrist, nonchalantly breezing past her as if he hadn't said anything at all, leaving Leaf to spin around and stare at him with wide eyes and an open mouth of surprise as he strolled towards the hotel doors.
Once Leaf finally snapped out of her daze she took off after he friends, managing to catch up to Gary just as he passed a sign with the hotel's name on it.
"The Dodrio Hotel," Leaf said out loud, falling into step with Gary. Smirking, she glanced at the brunet next to her before redirecting her attention to the sidewalk in front of her. "I don't think I'll forget anything that happened there anytime soon."
Gary said nothing, only smirking as he stuck his hands into his pockets. After a moment, he finally looked down at the brunette next to him and smiled.
"Neither will I."
A/N: Ahaha it's 1:30am and I have school tomorrow what am I doing up at this time? :'D I was supposed to be writing the next chapter of Savoir Faire (a story about Leafgreenshipping, Contestshipping, and dragons that I am collaborating on with Apheleia - who is btw an amazing authoress so go look up her stories - that you can find by going on my profile and then to our joint account, "Aquileia", if you're interested in reading it) because it was supposed to be updated this weekend but then I got distracted and somehow ended up writing this. (Sorry, Apheleia! I'll finish the next chapter soon, I promise! DX)
Anyways, this chapter is probably going to suck and have a ton of errors and not make sense because - as pointed out above - it's the middle of the night and I'm super tired. So, yeah. BUT AT LEAST I UPDATED, RIGHT? THAT'S GOTTA BE WORTH SOMETHING!
...I'm gonna go to sleep now. Reviews would really make my day (night?) so if you could, please review. XD
