Ban of friends chapter 10

Misty opened her eyes, as a gentle ray of sunlight touched her silky white skin. There was this feeling of relief, that wasn’t there the days before. She stretched out on her bed and lightly touched a huge lump that was near her feet. She looked down to see what she had lightly stroked and realized that it was Ash who was curled up on her bed. He was sound asleep, his jet black hair sticking up in every direction. Next to him lay a resting Pikachu. Misty sat up, rubbed her eyes and then rested her chin on her knees to look at her resting best friend.

She laughed as she watched him shift a little so to get a better sleeping position.

“Ash…” she whispered with a tiny smile on her face. Ash did not give any indication that he was stirring.

She moved closer to him, rested her chin on his arm and whispered once more: “Ash”

“What” he mumbled his eyes still closed.

“It’s time to wake up.” She whispered ever so gently with her chin still resting on his arm. She caressed his nose lightly with her finger.

“I was already awake” he whispered with his eyes still closed. “I just thought the way you looked at me a minute ago was so cute, I had to make it last for a little while longer.”

She giggled messing up his hair with her hand.

Ash smiled and opened his eyes to look at the redhead.

“Good morning” he muttered, sitting up.

“Good morning” Misty mouthed back with a sly smile.

“Do you know you kick a lot when you’re a sleep? I’m left with permanent bruises here” he chuckled petting his sleeping Pikachu.

“Well you should have gone to your own bedroom, then” she giggled.

“The professor said that from now on we will be sleeping in the same bedroom…so I thought I might as well make myself comfortable”

“You don’t think he’ll actually go threw with that, do you? I mean I wouldn’t mind sleeping with you, but…Gary”

“Oh so you wouldn’t mind sleeping with me, huh?” he smirked.

“You know what I mean” she said, throwing a pillow towards Ash. It missed him and hit Pikachu instead, waking him up. He looked around grumpily and rubbed his eyes with his little paws. Normally Pikachu would have shocked the two trainers, but because he was so happy that the two were finally speaking, he decided to resume sleeping without causing any trouble.

“I better get out of here” said Ash, standing up and stretching his arms. “If Gary sees me exiting this room, we won’t hear the end of it”

He lifted his yellow pokemon of the bed and held him in his arms.

“See you at breakfast” he said smiling.

Misty nodded and watched him leave the room.

Ash closed the door behind him and smiled slyly. Pikachu opened one eye and looked at his grinning trainer. He then shaked his head with a happy smirk and presumed sleeping.

Still smiling, Ash made his way threw the dimly lit corridor, hoping that he wouldn’t wake anyone.

He didn’t have to worry about waking anyone though, since from the sound of it they were already downstairs having breakfast.

“No way” he muttered, hoping that they hadn’t checked his bedroom or even worst Misty’s bedroom, while they were sleeping.

Ash tiptoed quickly into his bedroom and closed the door behind him.

He carefully placed his brown and yellow pokemon on the bed and ran to the closet to get some fresh clothes. He hurriedly took of his pajama shirt and pants and put on a black shirt with baggy blue jeans.

Running his hands threw his messed up hair he walked over to his bed and whispered:

“Wake up Pikachu. We got to go get breakfast”

Pikachu stirred, looked up at his trainer with an annoyed look on his face and growled.

“Fine then, miss breakfast…but I smell bagels” Ash chuckled looking at his fury friend.

“Oh and bacon and eggs….hmm pancakes too”

Pikachu’s ears perked up at the sound of pancakes and almost immediately he jumped of the bed.

“I thought so” Ash smirked.

They made their way out of the room and down the stairs both of them with their tongues hanging out.

“Well good morning Ash” the professor chuckled watching the hungry boy and his equally hungry Pikachu make their way to the table.

“Morning dear” said Delia.

Pikachu jumped into her arms purring lightly. “Morning Pikachu” she giggled.

Ash looked at the other end of the table at the person who hadn’t said good morning yet.

Gary was eating his bacon and eggs quietly not throwing Ash and his Pikachu a single glance. Ash sat on the chair beside him muttering a good morning as he did so. Gary shoved his stool away from him and didn’t even grunt in reply. Delia and the professor looked between the young men, as did Pikachu, but looked away at the sound of a cheery voice.

Misty entered the dining room waving happily. She was wearing a pink tank top with baggy torn jeans. Even though her wardrobe wasn’t much, she still managed to look quite beautiful. Her hair was loosely held in a ponytail that passed her shoulders. Gary glanced sideways at the beautiful girl.

Ash smiled at her as she sat down beside him.

“Good morning” she whispered once again towards him.

Gary glanced over at the two and muttered a “Psssh” under his breath.

“Good morning Misty” said Delia smiling. “Did you sleep well?”

“Yes …wonderfully” she replied.

Ash started spooning some eggs on to his plate. “Want some?” he asked.

“Yeah” she answered taking the plate from him and spooning some eggs on to her own plate.

Ash gobbled up eggs and some bacon and then moved on to pancakes.

“Wow Ash calm down before you choke” the professor chuckled.

Misty giggled as well. Ash looked up at the sound of her giggle and smiled heartily.

He took a bit of her eggs from her plate and ate it contently.

“Hey, that’s mine” she giggled, hitting him lightly on the arm. “Besides there are more eggs on the plate”

“Yeah, but they taste better coming from your plate” he stated smiling slyly and looking her up and down.

Misty smiled and looked away blushing

This did not go unnoticed by the professor or Delia. Even the gobbling Pikachu looked up smiling.

Gary shoved his chair backwards, stood up and walked away from the table.

“Gary, what’s wrong?” asked the professor.

“I’m done eating” he muttered, walking out of the room.

Misty looked at Gary’s back, as he walked out of sight.

Ash could have cared less and presumed eating.

“Uhm, be right back…bathroom” whispered Misty.

“Oh come on…this is supposed to be union time…how can you possibly bond, when you guys leave half way threw breakfast” the professor sighed exasperatedly.

“I’ll be right back, professor. I promise”

Then she too made her way out of the dining room.

Misty ran up the stairs, just catching a glimpse of Gary entering his room. If she wanted to make things right between them she had to do it now.

She made her way towards his bedroom door and knocked on it.

“I’m busy right now” she heard Gary mumble.

“Gary, can I come in?”

“I’m busy…wait a second” he mumbled again.

“Come on Gary…I know you’re not busy” she hollered, opening the door, revealing a half naked Gary.

“Jesus Christ, Misty…I told you I was busy” he hollered, pulling up a fresh pair of pants.

Misty covered her eyes and turned her back to him. “God, I’m sorry” she whispered, giggling and blushing a bit.

“I spilled some orange juice on my shirt and pants at breakfast” he said calmly.

Misty nodded with her back to him.

“You can look now” he mumbled awkwardly.

Misty looked around at Gary with his bared toned torso.

He could feel her eyes on him and very uncaring he said: “What are you looking at?”

Misty looked away not knowing what to say.

“I know I’m not nice and tanned like Ashy boy is” he snarled. “Yeah I saw him in your room this morning”

Misty looked him in the eyes and saw hatred. She immediately regretted ever coming upstairs to make things right.

“Was he nice” he asked her with disgust.

“Oh come on, Gary. You know we didn’t do anything. Ash and me, we’re just friends. Like…like you and me are friends”

He looked at her not knowing what to say and then he walked towards her.

Hesitating he stopped mid track. Misty looked at him in sympathy and walked over to where he was standing. They stood there for a second with Misty looking up at Gary and him looking down on Misty.

“Please, Gary” she whispered. “Let’s put the past behind us”

He barely heard her though. He was too busy concentrating on her beautiful face and her breath caressing his chest.

And then without any warning she wrapped her arms around him and dug her face in his chest.

Gary put his arms around her and kissed her on the top of her head. His heart almost jutted out of his chest when she returned that kiss with a peck on the cheek.

“We better get down there” she smiled.

“No wait” he whispered pulling her into him.

“….Gary?” she whispered, watching him lean into her. He nudged her nose lightly with his. “Gary” she whispered once again. “We can’t…”

“Yes, yes we can” he mumbled and with that he pressed his lips on to hers.

Misty gave in and started kissing him back. He ran his hands up and down her back and she on her turn nibbled on his under lip.

He chuckled as she did so and broke away. They both tore their eyes of each other and sniggered.

“Wow that was new” she whispered, suppressing a giggle. “Uhm…what should we do?”

“I think you should come over here and let me give you another kiss” he mumbled, running a hand threw his messy brown hair and touching his lip lightly with one finger.

She didn’t hesitate one second as she walked over to him, her eyes fixed on his handsome but rather pale face.

She looked up at him shaking a bit. This feeling she was feeling at the moment was unlike any she had ever felt. It was a mix of fear, longing and lust. Maybe it was because Gary always intimidated her a bit. When he was younger he was always the handsome young man, surrounded by beautiful women, who adored him. The few times he would throw her a glance was when she opened her big mouth to defend Ash, when he insulted him. He was always the bad boy who didn’t give much for appearance, but still managed to look good. And tonight was no exception. His baggy jeans, his bared torso and his messy brown hair, covering his eyes partly suited him well.

Gary looked down on her with a serious look on his face. This made Misty shudder a bit. He then gave her a tiny lopsided smile, reassuring her that everything was okay. He leaned his head down a bit his lips slightly parted and pressed them on hers, slipping his tongue between her lips.

Misty reached upwards towards his hair and ran her hands threw it. He moaned lightly caressing her back.

They broke away after a while of heavy tongue battling. Gary nudged her nose with his and touched her lips with his fingertips

“Oh my god…what is this? What are we doing?” Misty muttered, closing her eyes to take in the sensation. “I can’t, we can’t…can we?”

“You can’t tell me you don’t want to. Cause that wasn’t a kiss from someone who doesn’t want it” he said looking at her slyly and calmly. Misty rested her head on his chest and sighed. She giggled as she noticed that Gary was not as calm as he appeared to be….His heart was beating very fast and he was breathing rather heavily.

“I’m sorry” he said under his breath. “You know…for everything”

Hahah you didn’t see that coming did you. Don’t worry though Ashy- boy is definitely not out of the picture.

Much love Tichi
