❝ Pure hearts; Sinful desires; Endless love ❞
"Ain't it scary? How you can have everything you wanted only to lose it next second?"
She asked the picture holding it in her hand.. Her fingers brushing over the portrait taken years ago in the memory...
"Their chemistry was filled with tension... Sexual one, and a lot of it.. He touched her shoulder and set a fire in her mind only he could end.." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ × ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A drift was between them for a long time, maybe forever... The two of them sat opposite to each other in silence.. Astrid had excused herself sometime ago and went to his kitchen to whip something up for herself and Ash giving them the privacy they needed... His brown eyes silently gazed upon the Ninetail who walked around his chair getting accustomed to her new home gazing at everything intently...
His books on the table, the small pot in one corner of his room, the massive kotatsu in the middle of the room, the fireplace and sofa... At last laying next to his feets eating the food from the bowl charizard used long before evolving... He ran his hand over the silky fur of the pokemon not wanting to meet his gaze...
"Ash... I wanted to talk..."
Talk.. Now... After everything went to dust, after all was ruined.. He wanted to talk... He balled his free fist... He didn't opened his mouth aware what would come out of his mouth would be pure filth... For a moment his eyes rose and darted onto his father... He shivered for some reason and looked back at the Ninetail...
From anyone's perspective he wasn't angry, rather scared from remembering whatever happened with him... He was just sad.. With a small sigh, he rolled back onto his seat looking at the ceiling..
"How may I help you Mr Ketchum?"
He asked... For a split second his father's mind wondered if he heard the right thing... He expected Ash to yell at him, violently jump over the table and scream at him about his mother but all he did was ask him the question while looking at him with a blank face...
He wondered why it hurted more than that... Him not calling him father... He caught a sight of Astrid's blonde hair peeking from the wall she was leaned against listening to them... He was too numb to force a expression on his face..
"I saw your battle... You were very strong.. You have grown a lot Ash..." He placed his device onto the table.. Deciding to take a mature reach to it he looked at Ash wondering what would they have been if he would have been a better father... He looked at Ash's blank sulken face, the only feature making him look alive were his eyes which stared at him once in a while...
"It was all because of Charizard's hardwork... I merely was a vessel who would help him mega evolve... Any way I can help you.. Another date with your friend's daughter, a formal dance, something else... Please inform me in advance if you have such plan.. I shall see if I can free my time.. No saturdays or sundays though..."
"I have jobs I have to do.."
He sounded like striking a deal rather than talking like he expected them to be.. He was talking like they were in a meeting... Ash massaged his hurting knuckles waiting for a answer...
