Picnic Romance

"I can't believe that you thought all of this up by yourself," Harry said with a happy smile on his face as he allowed himself to relax fully, "You really are something."

Ash blushed madly and hugged Harry, "Thank you but I'd only do this for you!"

Harry let out a laugh and looked up at Ash, Ash sucked in his breath as he saw those shining emerald eyes full of love, kindness, trust and unconditional love for him.

"So...you like going on picnics?" Ash asked nervously as his eyes scanned the area for two Pikachu's.

"Ash, you know I do love our picnics together, I have from the very first time you took me on a picnic," Harry answered with a small frown on his face, "Don't you remember me saying so?"

"W-Well I was only making sure, after all I don't want you to board of going on picnics," Ash said quickly as he tried to buy time until his and Harry's two Pikachu's arrived 'Where are you guys? How hard can it be to fetch a box?'

"Are you alright? You seem a bit distracted today," Harry said as he placed a quick kiss onto Ash's check, "Is something bothering you love?"

"No, I'm only thinking about the first time we meet," Ash answered quickly as his hand wrapped lovingly around Harry's hand, "I can't believe what those idiots did to you! Or the state you where in when you first arrived here!"

Harry frowned and leant over to place his head on Ash's shoulder, "I know...I can't believe that they...they tried to sell me to Voldermort for just a month of peace...I...I thought."

"Don't worry love, everything is in the past, those idiots can dig themselves out of the hole they've created for themselves," Ash said lovingly as he pulled Harry closer to him, "Through it was a shock to find out you loved me back and our first Pokémon loved each other."

Harry gave a shy giggle at the memories, "Yes, I remember those days, they seem so long ago. You and Pikachu where basically stalking me and my Pikachu like we where some sort of chocolate and then one day you suddenly show up and save us from Team Rocket then you confuse your unconditional love to me while your Pikachu does the same thing to my buddy."

"Yeah well, it was then or never," Ash said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck, "If we did not tell you both then and there then we would of never told either of you how we really felt about you."

"Well then I guess we can be glad for Team Rocket showing up that one time then," Harry said with a grin as he snuggled up to Ash.

Ash took a deep sigh and looked down at Harry with love shining brightly in his eyes, "Yes, we are lucky to have those idiots around now and then, love you Harry."

"Love you too," Harry said as his heart swell with happiness, "What did you want to ask me love?"

"Ask you?" Ash said as he half paid attention to Harry and while he looked over the field for any sign of his bubby.

"Yeah, you asked me out on this picnic because you had something very important to ask me, you said you didn't want anyone else to interrupt us," Harry said lazily as he basked in the presence of his lover, "So...what is it?"

Ash gulped nervously as sweat began to pour down him, "Well...I...that is to say that...I..."

"What's wrong? Is something wrong with your mum or Professor Oak?" Harry asked with a frown as he realised just how nervous Ash was.

"Errr...no they're fine, you see there is something very important that I've been wanting to ask you," Ash said nervously as he chewed on the bottom of his lip.

"So that is why you are so nervous," Harry said with an understanding nod of his head, "And does this question that you want to ask me have anything to do with why you keep looking out at the horizon for some reason?"

Ash rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "Yeah, you see our Pikachu's where watching over...it...for me until I got the chance to ask you and they were meant to bring it out to us today."

"Holding onto what?" Harry asked as he tilted his head innocently, "What are you talking about Ash?"

"Well...It won't be the same without it but I guess..." Ash mumbled to himself as he took a deep breath.

Harry watched in confusion as Ash took a deep breath and moved away from him so Ash could look into Harry's eyes. Looking at his lover carefully Harry could see the obvious signs of panic and fear within Ash through Harry could also see the love and dedication within Ash's eyes.

"Whatever it is Ash you can tell me," Harry said softly and comfortingly, "You don't have to hide anything from me."

"Well..." Ash said slowly as he looked into Harry's loving eyes that just seemed to order him to tell the truth, "You see the I was-"

"PIKACHU!"

Blinking in shock both Ash and Harry turned around to see their Pikachu's running towards them while carrying a small black box together protectively.

"Yes!" Ash cried out happily as he grinned like mad, "They made it and they've brought the box! I can finally ask you now!"

Harry blinked in amusement at his lover's excitement, "And just what are you on about?"

"Why I am going to ask you to marry me of course!" Ash cried out without realising just what he had said, "I'm going to get down on one knee and-"

Ash's heart slowly sunk as he suddenly realised just what he had said, not even the arrival of the two Pikachu's could cheer Ash up. Gulping nervously and trying to hide his pain Ash turned to Harry, expecting to be yelled at or at the very less receive a disgusted glare at what he had just said.

Instead Ash was met with happiness, acceptance, pure love and one simple word from Harry.

"Yes."
