It was a bright, crisp, early Christmas morning and the Kanto had been blessed with a light sprinkle of snow that had now just settled on the windows and trees, giving it the appearance of an iced Christmas cake. I was still curled up in Ash's room by the radiator and asleep so I didn't know what was going on while I scampered in dream land with my very best friends. Misty was settling her and Ash's four children on the sofa with a seasonal movie while they all waiting for the family and friends to arrive to celebrate the special holiday with. As my dreams naturally came to an end, my best friend for 15 years entered the room and gently creeped up to me.
"Hey buddy…" he mumbled, giving me and small smile and leaning up against the radiator I too was curled up against. I blinked the sleep out of my eyes, sitting up and smiling to myself. Ash had changed a lot since I first met him; he had become a lot bigger, in both length and width, he had discovered girls and of course looked quite a bit different too. One of the things that still remained though was his love for his friends, family and pokemon and his gentleness and special bond with me. We were just as good as a team than when we first met, over a decade ago.
I smiled at my best friend, letting out a contented coo when he lifted me onto his lap and scratched me behind the ears, his own grin decorating his lips.
"Merry Christmas Pikachu…" he paused, looking right at me as he rubbed my temples in circular motions. "You've got another present downstairs waiting for you but I wanted to give this to you now, sort of, in private…"
My eyes blinked in confusion as he pulled out a square parcel from behind his back, rubbing the angled edge of it sheepishly.
"Here Pikachu, Merry Christmas…" Ash repeated, pulling off the wrapping paper with his thumb to reveal what hid behind the red, papery disguise. I must have had a confused look on my face because he let out a husky laugh, holding the object closer to me. "It's an electronic photo frame… You can't really do much with it of course but I thought we could put it by your favourite spot by the fire and you could look at it while you curl up to sleep…?" he trailed off, rubbing the back of his neck embarrassedly. "I don't know, I'm rubbish at presents…"
I smiled warmly up at him and shook my head before nuzzling his hand and the gift to show I liked it. Of course I liked it; I adored it, in fact.
Blushing slightly, Ash tapped the screen and began giving me a preview of all the photos that he and Misty had stored on there.
"See? There are so many photos for you to look at…" he sighed, putting down the present to focus his attention completely back on me again. "I wanted a gift to show you how much you still mean to me… I know I sometimes don't have time for you with me being a pokemon master and having four kids and all the other stuff that happens in my day to day life… So I bought you this to show you that I still remember all our times together and will do forever and I definitely want to keep making memories with you and the rest of our family…"
Ash blushed deeply, finishing his speech and looking at me once again.
"Maybe I'm turning soft as I get more mature but whatever; I thought you might like it… Do you?" he nibbled his lip, his warm chocolate orbs which I had known for what seemed like forever staring into my own.
I nodded my head slowly but certainly, resting my head on his hand that was fingering his jean pocket sheepishly.
"I'm so glad you do buddy…" he smiled once again, his fingers making their way back to my ear. "You're my best friend and you will be forever… You're one of the few people who really know me and you never once have judged me… I know we'll be together forever…"
At this, we both shut our eyes, hugging each other tight. We never found out the truth but I closed my eyes because I didn't want him to see my tears and I think he was doing the same as well.
"Merry Christmas, Pikachu…" he mumbled, his hand stroking my striped back gently.
I was too choked up to talk so I just snuggled in deeper to him, contented to still be in my best friends arms after 15 whole years together.
Merry Christmas, Ash. Never in a million years did I think I would find a best friend as sweet, kind, determined as you are. You have helped me as much as I have helped you and I too know we will be together forever. Merry Christmas, Ash.
The End.
There you go, thanks for reading :3 Hope you guys had an amazing Christmas with your family, I know I did :P Thanks again and I'll see you on the 28th for mine and my TT's anniversary xP
