Ash x Goh - JourneyShipping / FirstFriendShipping / Satogou

Part Six!

GOH POVVVVVVVV

HE JUST TRIED TO DRAG ME OUTSIDE IN PJS.

Sometimes that boy really doesn't think. I changed quickly, and grabbed my bag. Grookey now sat on my shoulder, hitting me with its stick.

I ran back out to Ash, where he was petting Pikachu and mumbling to himself.

"Does he actually like me too? I mean, even Mom said he did."

I heard Pikachu respond.

"Guess I'll have to find out."

I blushed, and walked out. He looked at me and jumped up, his eyes wide. "Goh, what happened to your face? It's super red!"

I turned away. "It's nothing, honestly."

He tapped me on the nose, and said, "Oh, really?"

I nodded. "Nothing. Let's go get breakfast."

We started walking, and suddenly, I remembered something- something he probably didn't remember.

The kiss.

He had kissed me, and he hasn't said a word about it. Was he that out of it that he didn't remember? Or did he just not want to talk about it?

We stopped in front of a building, and he looked at me, smiling. "I wonder if they have the teeny-tiny yummy things with the awesomely great smell?"

I laughed. "The Galar Scones?"

"Yeah, those!"

I took his hand and walked inside. "I bet they have them, Ash. They always do."
We bought some- they did have them- and went back outside to eat.

Sitting at a table, I said, "Ash, do you remember ... anything ... from when you were sick?"

He finished his second scone- he had eaten the first when we were going out- and replied, "Not really. I know we were outside in Cerise Park and my head felt like it was gonna go 'KABLAM!' at any second. Oh, and I know I passed out and you caught me..."

I nodded. "Anything else?"

He thought for a moment, and then shoved another scone in his mouth. "Nope!"

I sighed. He didn't remember after all. "Okay."

He swallowed. "Was there anything I was supposed to remember?"

I shook my head violently. "No, nothing much. Nothing of importance."

He shrugged and continued eating.

ASHY BOY POVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVHEHEHE

I did remember. I remembered it all. The memory was really blurry, but it was there. Me, sitting in his lap, his hand in my hair. Him, scrolling through something on his phone, his face a mask of surprise. Me, fighting to sit up, to try and tell him I was fine now, I didn't need any help.

Our lips meeting.

Me, laying back down, embarrassed I had just done that, about to black out. Him, shock plastered all over his face- but a note of happiness there too.

His fingers laced through my hair.

Him, burying his face in it.

A little while later, him picking me up with a struggle and putting me back down again. Chloe, sitting at the table, laughing about something I couldn't quite hear.

There wasn't really anything else I remembered, other than Goh coming back to me and running his fingers through my hair again. Apparently, he liked doing that.
