Take Care of You
Chapter 2
Watching Over You
Fallout96: I had gone over many scenarios for upcoming chapters for the story. But I think I'm starting to paint a picture of how this story turns out. To know the ending, you'll have to read all the chapters in between. I hope you enjoy this one!
( Dream/Flashback)
May sat under an oak tree just outside Ash's home. Everyone was inside celebrating Ash's victory facing the Elite Four in the Sinnoh region.
'It's no surprise he won. He's the greatest pokemon trainer I've ever known.' May smiled as she thought of Ash.
'I love him, but I can't tell him now. He'll probably be going on another adventure with Dawn or something.' May felt jealously hit her right away. When she first met Dawn, she could automatically tell she had a huge crush on Ash. She hated the thought of Dawn pulling a move on Ash while she was in Johto.
May hugged her knees to her chest.
'I wish he would ask me.'
"May." A voice from behind said.
May turned around and could see Ash walking toward her.
"Can I join you?" Ash asked with his regular politeness.
May smiled and nodded. Ash sat down next to May.
"May, can I ask you something?" He asked.
May smiled at him.
"Sure, Ash" She replied, hoping that it was going to be something like "I love you." or "Will you marry me."."
Ash smiled back.
"I've been thinking. Kanto is having a brand new competition, so I was wondering, would you like to come with me?" He asked, while praying she'd say yes.
Ash was tackled by a hug.
"I'd love to, Ash." May said while tightening her hold on Ash.
Ash loved every minute of the hug and embraced it. May felt like she was heaven, burying her face in his wild black hair.
"Excuse me? I'm I interrupting something?" Both May and Ash turned around to see Dawn. And she looked mad.
May and Ash blushed furiously.
"What were you guys doing?" Dawn asked with a jealous tone.
May decided to show that she intended to make Ash hers. She slipped her hand into Ash's and answered
"Nothing much. Just enjoying each others company." She said as she place her head on Ash's shoulder. Ash was blushing furiously.
Dawn gave May a mean glare and turned to Ash.
"Ash, would be alright if I traveled with you through Kanto?" She asked with a nice voice.
Ash scratched the back of his head.
"Sorry, Dawn. I already asked May to join me. Maybe next time." He said calmly.
May stuck her tongue out toward Dawn.
"Well, I guess I'll be heading back to Sinnoh than." She said while walking up to Ash.
She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks for everything, Ash." She said with a smile as she walked away. Ash was blushing big time.
May was fuming with anger.
'I'll show her.' She thought to herself.
"Hey, Dawn." May yelled out..
When Dawn turned around, May pretended to trip and land on Ash. "Accidentally" kissing him on the lips for ten seconds before parting. That was the best ten seconds of May's life and by looking at Ash's face, it was for him too.
Dawn was about ready to kill May, but just gave her a mean glare and walked away.
"Well, Ash, let's get back to the party!" May said as she grabbed Ash's hand and dragged him toward the party.
'I'll tell him this time. This time I won't let him get away.' She thought to herself.
For the rest of the night, they enjoyed the party.
(End of Dream/Flashback)
May woke up from her dream about a wonderful memory. She realized that she had fallen asleep on Ash's chest. The doctors moved him to her house last night, and she's never left his side since.
"I wish you were awake, Ash." May said to Ash even though he was still unconscious.
'He's so handsome when he sleeps.' May thought to herself.
She placed her hand tightly onto Ash's.
'That dream. It reminded me that Ash is a good kisser.' She thought as she stared at Ash's lips.
'Just one time. No one will know.' She leaned down to Ash's face and kiss him tenderly for a minute. When she parted, she felt like a surge of happiness just went through her.
"I only wish you were awake to return that, Ash." She said as she remembered that Ash told her "I love you."
May heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." May answered.
As the door opened, she could see her dad, Norman, walk in.
Norman could tell that his daughter had been crying.
"Are you alright, May?" He asked his daughter with growing concern.
May shook her head.
"No, it was all my fault. If I had been more careful he would be alright!" May yelled as tears began to fall down her face.
Norman hugged her and tried to calm her down.
"Everything will be alright." May jerked out of Norman's hug.
She removed the blanket from Ash's chest to reveal bandages, bruises, and scars from the accident. "Look at him! He's not alright! He's badly hurt and it's all my fault!" She yelled at him with growing anger and guilt.
"May..."
"Just go, Dad. Just go." She ordered as she cried in Ash's chest.
Norman knew that it was no use to try and reason with his daughter while she was like this.
"Okay, May." He replied as he walked out the door and closed it.
"Please, Ash. Just wake up for me, please!" She yelled as she continued to cry.
"May?" A weak voice asked.
May looked up and she could see Ash staring at her.
"Ash!" She yelled for joy as she embraced him for a tight hug.
"May, that hurts." Ash said while he winced from the pain.
"Sorry!" She said as she backed away.
Ash sat up in bed.
"Where am I ? How did I get here, May?" He asked her with a puzzling look.
"You don't remember anything?"
"I remember being with you on the cliff and that's it." He said as he looked all over his body and saw the many injuries that he had sustained.
"How did I get all these?
May looked down.
"There was an earthquake and the ground that I was standing on collapsed. Than you dived for me and caught my hand. You managed to pull me up to safety, but you let go of the edge so that it wouldn't collapse under us also. And that's how you got all these injuries." She answered him with tears falling down her cheek.
May felt Ash's hand lift up her face so that they were eye level.
"Don't worry, May. I'm fine, really." He assured her as he tried to get up. His success was short-lived when he fell down to the floor.
"Ash!" May yelled as she ran to help him.
Ash tried to stand up on his own, but the pain prevented him.
"Maybe I could use a little help." He admitted while laughing.
May placed her arms under Ash's.
"Thanks." He said with a smile that made her blush.
"May, could you take me someplace to go eat? I'm starving." He asked with a begging face.
May could only smile.
"Okay, let me get the wheelchair the doctor brought over."She said as she went to get to wheelchair.
'I should tell her how I feel soon.' Ash thought to himself, not remembering that he already did that. But he was determined to find the right time to tell her, even though he was injured that badly.
