The nightmare
Rating - T
"Aaaaah, no! Go away!" This made Ash wake up. "Clemont?" He tries to help the boy by placing his hand carefully on the inventors shoulder. "Wake up! It's just a bad dream." But the boy didn't wake up instead he started to panic even more. His hands are shaking, he's sweating and mumbles nonsense. The Pokémon trainer doesn't know what to do. Ash decides he has to do something when he sees Clemont hitting himself using his fists. He tries to pin him down. "Wake up Clemont, please. You don't have to be afraid." "No! Leave us alone!" Ash didn't expect that his friend would fight back. He also didn't realize that his friend was stronger than he was. With a loud groan Ash was pushed on his back, the inventor climbing on top of him. "I told you to leave us alone!" A fist hits Ash in his face. "Clemont! Wake up!" This time it seems to be working. Clemont opens his eyes a bit. "Leave Ash alone you … Ash? Ash!" Ash is relieved. Then he feels something on his lips. He tries to push away but Clemont is too strong.
Since when did he become so strong? Why is he kissing me? Maybe he's still dreaming. I don't want him to hit me again. He already gave me a black eye. I can barely see with that one. Maybe it's for the best if I let him kiss me?
Clemont starts to deepen the kiss. He moans and starts moving his body against his friend. This action makes Ash blush.
"Clemont?! Are you … What is happening here?" A confused Bonnie enters the tent. "Why are you two kissing?" "Mmmmmmph!" Ash tries to give a hint that he does not agree with this. Bonnie notices that her brother has pinned him to the ground. When she's next to them Clemont his body falls limp. Ash and Bonnie are able to move Clemont to his sleeping bag. "What was that?" the girl asks. "I don't know. He had a nightmare and I wanted to help. Suddenly he was on top of me kissing and … You saw what he was doing." They both couldn't believe it. "Ash, your eye is purple!" "Is it that bad? Clemont did that to, before kissing me." "My brother … gave you a black eye?" Ash nods and starts to look for the medicinal supplies. "Let me help you. I'm used to this. I always take care of my brother when he gets hurt in one of his experiments." "Thank you!" Bonnie takes care of Ash his eye.
The morning after
Ash and Bonnie are eating breakfast. Pikachu decides to join them and sees his trainer's eye. "Pikapika?" Ash smiles. "It's nothing. Do you want something to eat? Let me get it for you." "Pika pikachu!" Ash gives Pikachu something to eat. Clemont walks to the table. "Good morning everyone! Ash? What happened to your face?" "You don't remember? You had a nightmare and hit me." Clemont his face turns pale. "I did that? I'm so sorry Ash! I didn't mean to! I'm such an idiot." Bonnie smirks, this is going to be fun. "I feel sorry for you, big brother. You kissed Ash and by the looks of it you weren't going to let him go when I entered the tent." This reaction has his effect on the inventor. He blushes and starts to panic. "Bonnie, don't lie to me. I'm sure nothing like that happened!" The little girl runs away shouting for everyone to hear: "Clemont kissed Ash! I saw everything and you know what? He used his tongue and he …" "BONNIE! Stop this right now!" Clemont had never run this fast in his life. Ash decides to enjoy his food while watching the siblings.
Good morning, Serena! – About 30 minutes later -
Serena is awake and ready for breakfast. She never expected the situation she found outside her tent. Everyone was somehow injured. The first one she saw was Clemont, who had managed to get bruises all over his face. He was crying like a baby while holding Bunnelby. Bonnie her hand was bandaged and Ash had a black eye. "How did this happen?" Everyone looked at the girl. Ash tried to use his hands to tell her that was a bad idea. Bonnie smiled and tried to speak but Clemont interrupted her. "I'll tell you what happ…" "Bonnie! Don't you dare to say even one more word! You said enough. I don't want to hear your lies anymore!" This got them to start arguing again. Bonnie runs away while she's shouting things. It didn't take long for her brother to run after her again. Ash is laughing.
Serena joins Ash. She picks up something to eat. "What was that about?" Ash looks at her. "You won't believe me if I told yah." Now he has the girl begging for more. "Please, I want to know what happened. Can you tell me?" The boy thinks about it. "Okay, You're gonna find out anyway. Clemont had a nightmare last night. I tried to wake him up. He hit me in the face and gave me this beautiful eye." This surprises the performer. "Clemont gave you that? That must have been a horrible nightmare." "Yeah I think it was. I mean, I don't know what he was dreaming about. I didn't have the chance to ask him about it yet. What happened after that is that he pinned me down and he …" Serena encourages the boy speak. "Well, he kind of kissed me." "He did what? Is this Clemont we're talking about? And what do you mean with 'kind of'? Was it just a peck or something else?" Ash picks up some food and starts chewing on it. It's obvious he has a hard time telling this to Serena. They hear the siblings shouting somewhere near. "It wasn't just a peck. He used his tongue to deepen the kiss. I couldn't do anything about it. He was to strong. I don't mind but it's obvious that Clemont doesn't like it. When he kissed me Bonnie entered the tent. She saw everything. He went back to sleep and she took care of my eye." Serena had to think about this. "How did they get injured?" "This morning, Bonnie told Clemont he kissed me. Clemont believed the black eye but not the kiss. He ran after her to shut her up. Bonnie stumbled over a root. Clemont ran into to a tree." This made the girl laugh. "You guys are so funny. I can't believe this all happened!" They both finished their meal and started cleaning up a bit.
The siblings were somewhere in the forest. They could still hear them so they weren't worried. Pikachu ran after them to be sure. "You know Ash, you have a lot to think about." The boy sighs. "Yeah, I know. Do you mind if we talk about it? I don't want to hurt your feelings." Serena knew for a while now that Ash was gay. She confessed her feelings and he confessed his secret. She wasn't mad at him. He told her the truth and he held her and tried to cheer her up. She never expected it, but she could talk about everything with him. "It's okay. I'm over you. You can tell me everything." This relieves Ash. "Thanks! This kiss was really something. I think I'm in love with him. I don't know if he's straight or gay. Should I tell him about the kiss?" The performer smiles. "I think he might like you back. He's too shy to do something. You can start to tell him this kiss really happened and see how he reacts to it." Ash thinks about it and starts grinning. Things were about to get interesting.
Clemont, Bonnie and Pikachu returned. They were exhausted. Pikachu ran to a tree to get an apple. The four of them sat in silence. "Guys, I have something to tell you. I'm gay and I hope you accept me for who I am." This has the desired effect. Clemont hugs his friend. "I'm glad you told us. You don't have to be afraid. Bonnie knows that I'm gay and she won't judge you either." Clemont gasped. "I'm so happy that you told them big brother! You are gay and Ash is gay. When will you get married?" "Bonnie! I told you to stop this!" Ash places his hand on Clemont's shoulder. "It's okay, we don't judge you either. Bonnie is right about one thing you know. You really kissed me last night." Clemont blushes. "I kissed you?" Ash moves closer to his friend. "Yeah, like this." Bonnie is excited but before she can talk she feels Serena pushing her away. She whispers "I think it's for the best if we give them some alone time." The girls walk away and sit down next to a tree. It's still close enough to see and hear what happens. The kiss ends sooner than Clemont expects. "Do you mind telling me why you kissed me last night?" "I have no idea. I had a dream, a nightmare. I remember kissing you in the end but I didn't think it was real." Ash grins. "It was real. You pushed me to the floor. You were stronger than me." The inventor tries to look away. "I'm really sorry Ash." "It's okay. Clemont, do you want to be my boyfriend?" This surprises the other boy. "Yes! I'd love to be your boyfriend!"
"Did you hear that Serena? My brother finally found a keeper!" Everyone hears this and starts laughing. "I'll keep him forever, don't worry!" Ash says while he hugs his boyfriend.
