Ok, so this story turned out allot...heavier than I originally planned, but i wanted it to end with a bang (no pun intended). I'm quite happy with the way it turned out in the end and I hope you will be to. There are probably a few spelling and grammar mistakes here and there, but I'll fix those up when it isn't 2 am in the morning. ON WIT DA SHOW!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, bla bla bla.
The walk back to camp was very pleasant, both boys strolling through the forest at a leisurely pace. When they made it back to the camp sight Gary spoke up. "Wadda you say we put up the tent now, make a fire, and then we can relax?" "That sounds like a good idea, once I sit down I'm not gonna want to get up again." Ash stated, pulling his small fold up tent from his bag. Soon the two had erected what admittedly looked like a tent for kids, but it was definitely better than nothing.
"Now all we need is fire wood!" Ash specified, looking around the small clearing for anything that would burn. Lucky for him it turned out it was not hard to find wood in the forest. The outskirts of the clearing where littered with small twigs and branches, and in no time Ash had amassed a pile of wood that could start a small bonfire. "Done already?" Gary questioned, looking at the pile of wood dumped on the ground. "Yep, now all we need is fire lighters!" the raven haired boy said as he tried to organise the sticks and branches into something that would burn nicely. "Arcanine, come give us a hand would you?" Gary said as he released his Pokémon from its Pokeball. "Arc-Arcanin!" the fire Pokémon barked gleefully, exited to be out of his Pokeball and enjoying the change in scenery. "Arcanin, use flame thrower!" Gary directed, pointing at the pile of wood on the forest floor.
"NINE!" the fire Pokémon chirped, blasting a torrent of flames in the direction of the wood. Though the wood was still slightly wet, the sheer ferocity with which Arcanine's attack engulfed the pile of wood meant that after a minute or two the fire was burning gently on its own, starting to pick up speed. "Great job Arcanine, return!" Gary instructed. The fire Pokémon glanced at his trainer with one of the saddest puppy-dog expressions Gary had ever seen. "Aw what's wrong boy? You wanna stay outside a bit longer?" the auburn haired boy asked the hound. "Arc-arc-CANINE!" the Pokémon responded in delight. "OK. Just don't burn the forest down!" Gary chortled as Arcanin bounded off into the dense forest, sniffing at the foot of a tree and rolling in the dirt. Pikachu bounced after Arcanin, feeling like a little bit of adventure herself.
And finally all was quite. As the sun sat low in the sky casting peachy hues of pink and orange across the heavens, both boys felt extremely content. Ash was still clad in only his boxers as the rest of his clothes where still sopping wet, Gary in his jeans without a shirt on. "Man, what a day!" Ash breathed, lying flat in the cool grass. "You can say that again." Gary responded, mimicking Ash and lying flat on his back. The two boys lay about a foot away from each other as the fire crackled and danced peacefully in the centre of the clearing.
"We should really do this more often Ashy-boy. I…I miss this…" the auburn haired boy trailed off, eyes slightly glazed. "Miss what?" Ash said, not quite understanding. "I miss the way we used to hang out together when we were young. I mean, we were always so close." Gary said sounding a bit distant. "Yea..I miss it to. I've really missed it. I always wondered why you started pushing me away. You know it really hurt me, because you were like my best friend in the world. And then suddenly you started calling me a loser and…well…it just hurt. I decided to put all my energy into training my Pokémon to take my mind of it, but I always wondered what the heck happened to us…" Ash was now looking off into the distance, sounding almost as desponded as Gary. The taller boy gulped, finally realising how much pain he must have caused his friend turned rival.
"I'm sorry Ash, I really am. It's just…things got really complicated for me at that time and my mind was in a bit of a mess. I was becoming a teenager and…yea. I was probably a bit of a dick to everyone…you especially" Gary said, feeling quite remorseful.
Gary wished he could tell Ash the truth. That the real reason he had stopped begin the boys friend was that he loved him. That he was obsessed with him. That he desired him more than anything in the world. That even at that young age he would steal glances at the smaller boy, undress him with his eyes, and dream of consuming his lithe form with wet kisses and slow ministrations. All of this was too much for his 14 year old brain to comprehend at the time, and so he ran. He pushed the one he loved so much as far away as possible and ran for the hills. He couldn't come to terms with how much power this kid had over him, and it scared him.
If only he knew then, that Ash desired him just as much, if not more. Ash was good at act acting oblivious. It was his way of dealing with situations that he didn't quite understand or was afraid of. Through their early teens Ash had fallen head over heels for Gary. Gary was like his protector, his guardian angel. Whenever the other kids would pick on Ash, Gary would be right there to set them straight. Whenever Gary would tell a joke Ash would laugh wholeheartedly, even if it was an incredibly lame one.
He would wake the taller boy up in the morning, warm mug of hot chocolate made especially for him. Whenever Gary would come over to the Ketchum residence Ash's face would brighten up, his personality changing instantly from introspective loner to someone whose smile could light up the whole town of Pallet. When Gary was with him he felt free. He felt…alive. Ash would try his best to captivate his taller companion through subtle gestures and compliments, but in Ash's mind they had all been to no avail. Gary didn't like him, so he thought, and soon the two where rivals.
As both boys lay in the clearing deep in thought, it's started to get darker and a cool mist descended upon the forest floor. Feeling a chill creep up his spine Ash scooted closer to the fire, his chocolate brown eyes staring deep into the flames. "Would you like a blanket?" Gary said softly, looking at Ash. "Thanks that would be great. It's starting to get a bit cold out here." Ash said, eyes still transfixed on the burning embers. Reaching into his backpack Gary quickly retrieved a fleece blanket and draped it around the smaller boy's shoulders. Ash looked up to him from his sitting position, dark brown eyes wide with gratitude. "Thanks Mr. Gary!" Ash said spiritedly, pulling the blanket around him as he continued to star into the fire. Just then Ash's stomach grumbled, remembering that they had still not eaten anything. "Hey, you feel hungry?" The brunet asked his raven haired companion, hearing Ash's stomach sounds. "Yea I could really do with a good bite to eat, though all I have is ramen noodles and nothing to make them in…" Ash said flatly. "Good thing I always carry a pot with me." Gary said, retrieving a small pot from his backpack and filling it with water from his water bottle. Placing it on the fire, he gestured to Ash for the noodles with an open hand. The smaller boy promptly got up and pulled a large pack of beef flavoured ramen noodles from his rucksack. "Mmmmm, beef flavour. Looks like we're gonna be dining like kings tonight!" Gary exclaimed, winking at Ash. "You bet!" Ash giggled, leaning back as he watched the other boy carefully place the pot onto the fire, fill it with water and emptying the contents of the ramen packet into the small pot. As Gary stirred everything up, Ash couldn't help but stare silently at the auburn haired boy in front of him.
He was taller now; more mature and above all, drop dead gorgeous. The sun had long since set, the warm orange light of the fire illuminating Gary's face and making him look almost angelic. Ash was smitten at how beautiful his rival had become, a slight smile planted on his face. "Ash..." Gary spoke, breaking the younger boy from his trance.
Realising that he had been staring Ash quickly lowered his head as he started to blush. "Yea?" he retorted. "What's up? You look so distant…" Gary questioned a hint of concern in his voice. "Ah nothing, I just can't remember the last time I had such a peaceful evening. This is amazing!" he said, a smile spreading across his face. "Yea, I'm really enjoying this too. Thanks for showing up, Ash. If it wasn't for you I would probably be sitting alone here in the darkness telling myself how much life sucks. You really have impeccable timing, Ashy-boy!" Gary said, teasing his smaller companion. Both boys sat in silence as the smell of the beef noodle ramen began to fill the air, Ash couldn't help but salivate.
"Looks like dinners almost ready, would you mind getting two bowls for us from my backpack?" Gary said, pointing in its' direction. "No problem…" with that Ash got up and walked to the bag, retrieved two small plastic bowls and a pair of chopsticks, and placed them down next to the fire. "Mmmmmm! Smells great!" Ash said enthusiastically, his mouth watering more than ever. With delicate precision Gary poured the contents of the pot into the two bowls, making sure he didn't spill anything. "This is gonna be delish! Bon apatite, Ashy-boy!" Gary said, handing one of the bowls to Ash along with a pair of chopsticks.
"Thanks a million; you have no idea how hungry I am." Ash almost purred, taking the chopsticks out of their plastic wrapper and holding them in his hand. He lifted the bowl and scooped some noodles into his mouth, instantly feeling allot better. "mmmm…is goog!" Ash said with a mouth full of noodles. Truth be told, the instant ramen noodles where probably decent at best, but given the action packed day both boys had just had, they tasted like the best thing in the world. "Mmmm, definitely…" Gary added, stuffing a sizable quantity of noodles into his mouth.
This truly was heaven. As both boys polished off their food, Ash brought his bowl to his mouth, gulping down the soupy liquid as if he hadn't eaten in years. "AAAAAHHH!" Ash said, leaning back and burping as he rubbed his stomach. "That was freaking AMAZING! You should become a chef!" Ash said appreciatively. "Please, it's just instant ramen, all I did was put it in boiling water." Gary laughed, placing his empty bowl down next to him. "Well you sure know how to boil water then. It never tastes that good when I make it." Ash finished, Gary shaking his head and smiling at the somewhat non-sensible words coming from his friend. "Well I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'm so full I feel like I'm going to burst." Gary finished off, laying back down in the grass. "Me too!" Ash echoed, mimicking Gary.
The two boys talked for a bit, catching up on what one another had been up to in the recent times as the night grew cooler.
The flames of the fire continued to dance, its penetrating warmth soothing both boys to no end. The events of the day flashed through Ash's mind. It all seemed so surreal, like a hazy dream one would have on a Sunday afternoon. From his encounter earlier on with Gary in the clearing to their fun filled afternoon swimming in the crystal clear waters of the lake, to the delicious ramen they had just enjoyed around the fire. It was all too unreal. It made him feel so alive and free that he wished everyday could be like this. He wished he could be with Gary forever. "Ahhh" Ash sighed. He could dream, couldn't he?
Both boys now lay in silence for what must have been almost an hour, the gentle clicking of the fire and ambience of the forest calming them into a dreamlike state. Ash was the first to break the silence "I think I'm going to go to bed. If I stay up any longer I'm going to fall asleep right here, and it's starting to get really cold…" Ash rubbed his shoulders as a cool breeze cut through the night air. "Yea, me too. If you hadn't spoken up now I would have probably fallen asleep right where I am. "Should we put the fire out?" Ash asked, looking down at the burning cinders.
"Na, it looks like it's gonna rain soon, and if it doesn't the fire will scare away any wild Pokémon that might be lurking out in the night…" Gary said, trying to sound scary. Ash visibly shivered at the thought. Glancing over his shoulder Ash saw Pikachu curled up next to Arcanin, the two Pokémon fast asleep. "Good night Pikachu, sweet dreams…" Ash said as he smiled down at his Pikachu, gently stroking its soft fur. Pikachu stirred in his sleep, huddling closer to Arcanin for warmth.
And with that Ash made his way to the small tent, Gary following suite. Once they were inside it became obvious that this tent was made for a kid. Gary sat down in the corner, trying to get comfortable. "Uh, I only have one sleeping bag, but you're welcome to share it with me if you want…" Ash stated feeling somewhat embarrassed. "Uh, that's ok, I'll just sleep on the floor. I'm not all that cold actually." Gary lied, the mere thought of sharing a sleeping bag with Ash arousing him on the spot. "Well if you get too cold later on, don't hesitate to hop in. I'm quite a heavy sleeper so I probably won't even notice." Ash finished. "Thanks Ash, I'll keep that in mind." Gary said calmly, lying down next to Ash on the floor of the tent. Reaching out of the sleeping bag Ash turned off the small light they had been using and in no time the tent was immersed in darkness.
The events of the day had exhausted both of them and as the cool wind outside picked up they both drifted off into the land of dreams, their breathing steady and slow.
As the night drew on, it began to rain. At first lightly, then harder, and soon it was coming down in buckets as a chilly wind blew through the small opening of the tent. Stirring in his sleep, Gary awoke to find that he was cold and his skin was covered in Goosebumps. Feeling somewhat light headed he slowly pulled down the zipper of Ash's sleeping bag and crept in next to him, the feeling of the warm thick fabric against his skin incredibly sensual, not to mention the heat that was radiating off the younger boy that lay so close by. Closing his eyes, Gary sighed. He was already feeling too comfortable. This was gonna be a long night. "Mmph…Aahaaa…Gary…I…."Ash half mumbled. "What is it Ash? You OK?" Gary questioned, but the smaller boy remained silent. "I…Ahhh" Ash mumbled again, stirring slightly.
Gary looked his companion over in the darkness, realising that Ash was talking in his sleep. "oh boy" Gary said to no one in particular, laying down again on his back. He was very much aware of the fact that his hips where making contact with those of the younger boy, as the sleeping bag was also relatively small, and it was arousing him more than anything.
Knowing he wouldn't get any sleep if he was in his current state he shifted to the side as much he could, breaking the contact between them. "Ah that's better" he said softly. A few minutes passed and it sounded as if the rain was actually getting heavier. "eh…Mmmm….Aaahh!" Ash almost shouted in his sleep, stirring even more. Was the boy having a nightmare or something? "Aaaaaaahh" Ash murmured again, this time flipping over onto his stomach, his head practically resting on Gary's shoulder as he unconsciously draped his right leg over Gary's. This was all getting too much for poor Mr. Gary Oak, his heart beating a thousand miles a minute. "Aaaa…..I….need…..aaaaahH" Ash slurred once more, moving in even closer. Suddenly, in a flash of realization it dawned on Gary exactly what was happening. Ash was having a wet dream. He's teenage crush, was lying next to him. Having a wet dream. Whatever control Gary had been able to muster had just instantaneously evaporated into thin air. This was, by FAR, the most stimulating thing he had ever experienced in his entire life. "AAaaah" Ash moaned again unconsciously, pushing his hardened member into the other boy's side. Gary flinched at the contact, not knowing what the hell to do.
At this point his heart was beating so fast and hard he could hear it in his ears. His vision was blurred. His own erection was straining almost painfully against his jeans. "AAAAHH!" Ash almost yelled again, grinding up against Gary in desperation. This was too much. Gary felt like he was goanna explode into the atmosphere if he had to be exposed to another second of Ash's desperate please for release. Just then as if someone in the heavens had heard him, a blinding flash of lightning light up the forest, followed shortly by the heavy drum-roll of thunder.
Ash stirred again, silently this time as he opened his mouth and then closed it. None of this had helped Gary calm his raging hormones of course, but it was a welcome distraction. Again a heavy flash of lighting filled the night sky, followed this time by and even louder bellow of thunder. Again Ash stirred, this time waking up and opening his eyes. Noticing this, Gary quickly acted as if he was asleep, least the younger boy be embarrassed about their incredibly awkward position. Ash shuffled around a bit, but surprisingly remained in his current position. "God I'm so horny…" Ash said softly to himself as he reached down and grasped his erection with his right hand. Hearing this Gary swallowed so hard he thought it must have been audible from a mile away. 'what the hell are you doing? The love of your life is lying next to you, ready and waiting and you're pretending to be asleep?! Make a freakin move already!' the little voice in his head said. Swallowing his pride, Gary opened his eyes, only to find that Ash was staring down at him.
"Say Ash, are you OK?" Gary questioned the unmistakable signs of lust plastered all over Ash's face, his eyes glazed over. Ash blinked, and then moved in closer, his lips grazing softly against Gary's own. "I've loved you since I met you, Mr. Gary." Ash said softly, looking away in slight embarrassment. Gary's mind was now in a total state of chaos. Was this just a dream? If it was then he had nothing to lose. If not, that would be even better. "Ash…" Gary said gently, his eyes closed.
"I've…I've always fancied you. Much more than a friend you know. I…I've always loved you, so much so that it drove me mad. That's why I pushed you away when we were kids. I was a coward…" Gary trailed off, not knowing what more to say. Ash looked back at the auburn haired boy, smiling a warm, heartfelt smile. Slowly, he slid over to lay on top of him.
Looking into Gary's hazel eyes, he lowered his head, and soon there lips met. Sparks shot through their body's, the sensation of the kiss melting their minds into one unified conscious. "Ahh!" Ash exclaimed, breaking their contact. "That was incredible…" the smaller boy said, gasping for air. " Yea well, there's more where that came from..." Gary said, putting his hand behind the head of his raven haired lover and pulling him into another kiss. This time it was deeper, longer and so much more passionate. The two finally broke their contact again, Ash transfixed with Gary's hazel eyes and Gary with Ash's deep brown ones. Ash droped his head down again, this time nibbling a bit on Gary's ear lobe before he whispered in the older boy's ear. "What do you say we make this a night to remember?" Ash purred seductively, grinding against his friend-turned-rival-turned lover. "Do you really have to ask?" Gary almost chuckled before he kicked off his jeans and boxers. Ash removed his boxers and soon both boys where lying completely naked, Ash on top. They continued to kiss, getting more and more into it. Gary ran his hands over Ash's back, amazed at how silky smooth his tanned skin was. Ash arched at the contact, his own hand tentatively brushing a few loose strands of hair out of his lovers face. Gary squeezed Ash's left butt check with his hand, eliciting a moan from his raven haired angel.
Ash pushed himself against the boy underneath him; their erections grinding together in ecstasy as they frantically devoured one another, each one struggling for more contact as the heat between them rose to unbearable levels. "take me" Ash whispered, eyes completely glazed over with uncontrollable lust. Ash scooted up a bit, positioning himself for Gary to enter. They continued to kiss frantically as the auburn haired boy slowly worked his way inch by inch into Ash. There was no need for lubrication as Gary was already dripping wet with precum. "Ah!" Ash almost shouted, the current mixture of novel sensations driving him wild. "A-are you o-okay?" Gary stuttered, hoping he wasn't hurting the smaller boy. "f-fine..aaahahH…it…feels…..so fucking g-good…." Ash cursed, throwing his head back and pushing himself down forcefully on the older boy. Gary almost came right then, but managed to calm himself.
Outside the storm continued to drench the forest, another huge lightning bolt lighting up the night sky as Ash started to bounce up and down rhythmically on his lover. Ash dropped his head again, sucking at the other boys neck and running his hands through his hair hysterically as Gary pounded into him from below. "AH god ASH! Your so fucking tight!" Gary said gasping for breath as he could feel his orgasm near. "AAaahahaaaa….just….ngh…shut...the..hell up…and….AAAHA…FUCK..ME!" Ash cussed again. The sound of his goody two shoes rival using such foul language driving Gary even closer to the edge. Outside the thunder crashed through the heavens, the forest floor shaking as the sound of the ear-splitting storm drew nearer and nearer. Ash gave Gary a small kiss on the forehead before he threw his head back again, slamming himself down again and again in fits of hysteria. He was so close.
They were so close it hurt. Feeling like he was starting to lose control Gary reached down and grasped Ash's rock hard member, it's entire length completely coated in Ash's precum. Ash's eyes which had previously been squeezed tightly closed shot open, his mind completely lost to the new sensation. Gary started to pump him in earnest as they edged ever closer to their climax, both of them moaning in abject ecstasy as the sensations practically turned the minds to mush. Another massive flash of lighting light up the forest, the sound of the thunder almost as deafening as their collective moans of pleasure. " G-Ga-Garrry…I'm…I'm….ga..ga..gonnaa" Ash jerked uncontrollably as he felt like he couldn't take anymore, his head falling into the crook of Gary's neck as he buckled over. Sensing this Gary pumped him harder with his right hand as he summoned every last drop of energy to pound the daylights out of the younger boy, hitting his prostate once, twice, a third time.
And then they were gone. Lost in a state of trance. As another massive roll of thunder shook the very foundation of the earth, Ash came so forcefully he practically saw nothing but white, his hands desperately clawing at his lover. Gary came a second later, his entire body quivering and shaking uncontrollably as he emptied himself into his raven haired angel. Outside the storm raged on, but inside the boys minds there was nothing but silence as the power of their collective orgasms caused the blood to rush through their heads with deafening intensity. Slowly but surely they descended back to reality, their breathing still frantic as they recovered in unison. Outside the storm had died down, only the gentle sound of soft rain now audible. Ash was the first one to break the silence. "wow…." He said, still slightly out of breath. "That was amazing…that was beyond amazing…" Gary whispered, giving Ash a little peck on the cheek. The smaller boy blushed in the darkness, moving over to lie next to his lover. "you where amazing" the smaller boy said delicately as he grabbed his boxers and used them to clean himself and his boyfriend off with. A minute or two of silence passed, before Gary spoke up "You know, I would have never thought in a million years that you had feelings for me. It's…" Gary struggled to find the words, "it's like a dream come true. It's everything I've always wanted…" he trailed off, feeling very emotional.
Ash kissed him on the cheek, scooting up closer and resting his head on the taller boy's shoulder. "That's exactly how I feel….so….you're not alone…and you'll never have to be alone again." The smaller boy finished, yawning as he closed his eyes. Gary soon followed suit, closing his eyes and holding his newly found passion in a tight embrace. "What are we going to tell my grandfather and your mom when we get back to Pallet Town? They might not warm up to easily to the idea of their boys in love with one another…" Gary said, sleep clouding his mind. Ash stirred a bit, thinking everything over before he spoke. "If they've got a problem with it I know exactly what I'm gonna say…" Ash said, a cheeky smile spreading across his face. "And what's that, Ashy-boy?" Gary asked affectionately through half lidded eyes.
Ash leaned closer and whispered into Gary's ear;
"C'est la vie; that's the way life is…"
