And now we enter into chapter 3 of this thing. I'm actually surprised it got this far, I assumed this fic would be a waste of space. But oh well, I LOVE this couple so I hope my story (and hopefully future stories) about them will gain them more fans.
The world is a harsh place, if it wasn't then I'd own Pokémon and then... well 4kids would be steering well clear of it!! Enjoy!! ^_^

Ash and Drew found themselves in a very interesting situation. Each of them had a completely different perspective on it from the other.

The optimistic trainer was over the moon. He couldn't have asked for a more perfect opportunity (well he could but in terms of reality, this was probably as good as it was going to get). If only he could manipulate the situation somehow, there could be a chance of some action. His dreams had been getting much more vivid lately and Ash was impressed with his own self control. However, the current predicament was proving too much and the dark haired boy was busy plotting a way to turn this to his advantage.

The usually pessimistic co-ordinator was stuck smack in the middle of heaven and hell, although maybe he was veering more to the hellish side of this. Trying his best to keep his super-cool demeanour about him, Drew was doing his best to fathom a way out of the current state of affairs. Sadly this was to no avail and he knew that his 'normal' self was rapidly disappearing, leaving only the extremely rare love-sick side of him behind. He was NOT going to do something stupid. He had come to that conclusion as soon as he'd agreed to travel with Ash and the others, but Drew had always been unpredictable (even to himself) and so he couldn't be sure what would happen if this kept up.

--Earlier that very day--

"Squirtle, bubble beam!"
"Magical leaf Roselia!"

The two attacks fused together to form a very powerful combo.

"Quick attack to dodge Pikachu!"
"Foretress, guard!"

Brock had been right. This really was the perfect place to train.
The gang had been walking since breakfast, and after a couple of hours they came across an open clearing. Brock had suggested they rest a while and maybe train a bit as the clearing seemed like a good place. Although the pokémon breeder had suggested training, it was May who suggested the tag battle. And so it came to pass a few minutes later that the two co-ordinators were teamed up against the other two, with Max cheering on the sidelines.
Ash and Brock had started off in the dominant position, unleashing a powerful combo straight off the bat. However once May and Drew had finally gotten in sync, they started unleashing a powerful barrage of attacks that had their opponents on the defensive.
That being said, everyone in the battle was skilful and able with their pokémon so there really was no telling who would be the victors at the end of it.

Both Ash and Drew seemed determined to wrap the battle up quickly, effectively and with a win. Their partners in the battle cottoned on to this and so each team pooled together their strongest moves until there were two devastatingly powerful combination attacks flying at each other. Max was on the edge of his seat (well, log) with anticipation as to what the outcome would be. When the two attacks would collide, there was no way every pokémon would be left standing. However, the attacks never got to hit, for this is what happened instead:

A ridiculously huge sheet of metal was placed in the middle of the two attacks and seemed to eliminate them completely. Then came that ever so familiar and ever so annoying, "Prepare for trouble..."
They didn't even have to look up to know that there was now a huge Meowth balloon floating overhead in the sky. Team Rocket seriously did not know when to quit. You'd think that after all their failed attempts, they'd pursue other trainers or come up with schemes that would actually work instead of having Meowth come up with some ridiculous reason as to why their boss would be happy with [insert stupid item or random pokémon] off the top of his head. But I guess one could argue that old habits die hard, which is why they were here now, ready to try YET AGAIN to steal Pikachu and any other pokémon they could snatch from the group. Upon seeing them, the trainers quickly withdrew their pokémon (bar Pikachu of course).

If this were any normal day with Team Rocket using their hopelessly thought out tactics, then they'd have been blasting off in no time. As it happened though, today was not a normal day and through some obscure twist of fate it was Ash, Drew, May, Brock and Max that ended up blasting off. It all happened so fast that no one, not even Team Rocket, were quite sure what had just occurred. It didn't take long for all parties to figure out though, that the strange contraption Team Rocket had strapped to the balloon (the one that absorbed the combo) had suddenly released all the energy it had stored and created an explosion big enough to scatter the young heroes.

Anyway to make a long story short, Ash and Drew ended up alone together, with no one around at all. Ash would have to remember to thank Team Rocket when they next crossed paths. Granted they had no idea where they were (Max had the PokéNav) but they were ALL ALONE. This was the point that was at the forefront of Ash's mind. With no one around, there would be no one to interrupt them. With no one to interrupt them then maybe, just maybe, he could make his dreams become a reality...

x~x~x~x~x

"I think we can safely say that walking around aimlessly is not getting us anywhere. We need a new tactic." As he said this Drew put his hand to his head as if trying to come up with the perfect solution. No joy. They had tried using any flying pokémon they had with them to see if they could get a better fix on their whereabouts or if they could find the others, but they had somehow ended up in a very dense part of forest and so the pokémon couldn't fly effectively.
"Ahhh, this isn't so bad, try to lighten up Drew," Ash said teasingly.
"Oh, so you're back are you?" Drew half snapped, half sulked.
"Huh? Back from where?"
"Well ever since we landed here you've been completely out of it." Drew looked at Ash inquisitively. "What on earth have you been thinking about these past few hours? Must be pretty interesting to keep you occupied for so long, what are you thinking about?"

Ash averted his gaze and coughed, a slight blush also came to his cheeks. "Oh, just about pokémon and stuff." LIE! But like I'm seriously gonna tell him the truth. Ash's thoughts were all about Drew, and they started off innocent and got more and more... Ash had to keep himself from getting too excited. His thought pattern went something like this:

1.) Wow... I'm actually alone with Drew. Finally! Man he's so freakin' cute!
2.) When my hand brushed passed his just now, is that a blush?! Damn, I can't take much more of this.
3.) Hmmmm... Drew must be hot, I mean he's wearing WAY to much clothing. How can I get him OUT of them? If I could just think of a way to get him completely naked... *drool*
4.) I wonder what Drew's voice really sounds like. When we're doing it in my dreams his voice is always so clear, but I'm sure in real life it would be so much sexier and- "Drew, let me hear you! I wanna hear you when you-"
"When I what?" asked Drew.
Crap, thinking out loud Ash, thinking out loud! Watch it next time, idiot!
*cough* "Oh, errr... Nothing, sorry, never mind."
*confused look* "..."
5.) Come to think of it, in my dream last night the setting was outdoors kinda like this. How did we get like that again? Oh wait, it was straight in there with Drew giving me the most AMAZING blow job! God he was so damn sexy! Shit, if something like that happens because I lose control, it's his fault for being so hot!

"What 'stuff'?" Drew asked. He wasn't really sure if he was bothered but it was something to do, plus this way Ash would have to pay attention to him. It was bliss having Ash talk to him and treat him like a friend. It was nice to be so close to him, especially after he'd thought Ash hated him. Drew really was happy, and deep down he knew that he was enjoying the current circumstances much more than he'd care to admit. However, the co-ordinator had grown tired of keeping up his couldn't-care-less attitude and so for a brief moment he let his guards down. He looked at Ash intently and he didn't bother trying to stop the smile that had been playing on his lips this whole time.

The Sun was beginning to set, deep golden rays casting off anything and everything. The pokémon trainer had just invented the 'stuff' he'd been thinking about and turned to answer his companion, but he couldn't. That was it! Drew was smiling that same smile that had properly triggered his feelings for him. And it's intensity was only magnified by the setting Sun. The rays bounced off him, giving him a sort of heavenly glow. A slight breeze was in the air, gently blowing his hair around. He looks amazing...
"I love it when you smile like that," Ash remarked, not actually thinking about what he was saying. "I wish you'd smile like it more often." Ash gently placed his hand on Drew's shoulder. The two boys' pace had been getting slower and slower, and when Ash did this they came to a complete stop.
Drew quickly pursed his lips and Ash felt the younger boy's shoulder tense beneath his hand. Ash wondered if he'd done something wrong, but when he looked again the emotions on Drew's face weren't anger, but confusion. It was as if Drew was weighing something up.

Drew had finally seemed to come to a conclusion. He let out a long sigh and relaxed under Ash's touch. Usually the green haired boy hated other people touching him, but this felt kinda nice. Drew smiled once again and Ash spun him around so that they were facing each other. Immediately Drew looked down, focusing intensely on the ground. He was doing his best to suppress the blush that was trying to deepen the one that was already there, although he wasn't succeeding. I look like an idiot again. I was like this when he asked me to travel with him. STOP BLUSHING DAMMIT! Drew could internally scold himself all he wanted but it wasn't going to do anything. He made to step away from Ash but he faltered when he heard Ash whisper, "Beautiful..."

Sure he had misheard (although that didn't stop his cheeks getting redder) it was all he could do to stutter out, "Wh-what?"
In any normal situation, Ash would have blushed and started babbling a load of nonsense. But, as was clearly evident by this point, this was no ordinary day. This reaction was so cute to Ash, that he took his free hand and placed it under the smaller boys chin so he could bring his face up and get a better view.
"H-hey! What are you doing?!" Drew was doing his best to sound forceful. Drew was doing his best to sound sarcastic. In fact Drew was doing his best to sound anything but shy and embarrassed. Much to his dismay, all his efforts were in vain.
"I can't help it, you're just too cute Drew," Ash murmured against Drew's ear. "First you give me the smile that makes me go crazy, and now you're blushing. You really know how to test a guy's self control. Well it looks like my limit is reached, so-"

Drew opened his mouth to say... something. He wasn't quite sure what though, what am I supposed to say to that?! Before he had time to answer, his lips were captured. Ash moved the hand that was under Drew's chin to tangle itself in his hair, and the hand that was originally on the other boys shoulder had moved to his back. The kiss was gentle to start off with, cautious. Ash hadn't meant to kiss him, but with Drew blushing like that and his mouth slightly open, it was like an open invitation. The pokémon trainer expected to be pushed away, so you can imagine his surprise when he actually felt the others lips pressing back against his in response. Needless to say he had absolutely no problem with this, and took it as a sign that he was allowed to deepen the kiss.

Pulling the younger boy closer, Ash lightly licked the bottom of Drew's lip, asking for entrance. There was a slight hesitation from the other party, but his mouth opened nevertheless and Ash moved his tongue around the new space he was allowed to explore. Drew's arms came up around Ash's neck, who started massaging Drew's tongue with his own and this elicited a few soft moans from the co-ordinator. They eventually had to break apart for air. Drew's cheeks were completely flushed, and as he was getting his breath back he was trying to comprehend what had just happened.
Ash brought Drew even closer to him and started lightly nibbling his ear. Drew was not expecting this and so he let out a short gasp, but it was soon followed by a series of quiet, pleasurable moans.
"Ash-" Drew moaned against him. He didn't want this feeling to stop.
"I love you..." Ash whispered by Drew's ear, hugging him close. "I love you Drew."
