HELLO?? its been so long since my last fanfic im so sorry !! but hii im back and with a better writing style ^_^ and a different fandom, and its lifesteal :33 I HEART SWAGDOONS BTW!! this is a song fic, song being STAY HERE INSTEAD BY CARTER ACE !! if youve seen this on ao3 by juksterjuki that is me so geheheh I will leave you to enjoy this though ! 

Ash and Red are best friends.




Atleast that's what they call themselves. Most people would say Ash and Red are more than best friends, but the both of them would always deny it, because they're just friends. They both don't get why people keep mistaking them as more.


They just do normal bestfriend activities...It's normal to cuddle your best friend, it's normal to flirt with them, hold their hand, or....kiss their cheek as a joke. The both of them are just friends, they've just accepted that. It's totally not because they never talked about being more.


Red couldn't lie about thinking of being more with Ash, as much as he wants to lie about it. When someone asks him if he loves Ash, he just falls silent. Because he does love Ash and he can't, he won't have people know that. Because once someone knows, everyone knows. He doesn't want Ash having to deal with that.


Red won't confess to Ash, because he knows once Ash rejects him, everything will change.

Ash's laughter and yelling filled up Red's room. It was a friday and they were at Red's house, it was currently 6pm,, normally Ash should have been going home already, but since it was a friday Ash's parents really did not care.


"Holy shit thanks dude, that stressed me out, thought I was gonna lose a heart,," Ash laughed out, they had been playing minecraft with this 'lifesteal' plugin, and Ash was getting jumped...in a block game.


"As if I'd let them, I'd rather I have your heart instead." Red responded, soon bursting out in laughs by how corny he sounded.
"Oh my god bro, shut up.." Ash cringed, burying his face in his hands. No matter how shit or how corny Red's flirting was, he was always able to make him flushed. "You're so bad at flirting."

"I know, but your reactions make my bad flirting seem like I'm a total charmer." Red said with a smug look on his face. Ash rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Sureeee. Keep boosting your ego. Anyway I'm tired, lets go lay on your bed." Ash stood up, stretching his arms before grabbing Red's hand, forcing Red to stand up, dragging him to the bed.

–

An hour had passed by already. They were now laid on Red's bed, staring up at the ceiling filled with silly stickers. They had been talking about their friends who are clearly not just friends.

"It's so obvious they both like each other. Do you see how Clown looks at Branzy like he's the whole world or something? And Branzy keeps asking me if I think Clown likes him." Ash complained.

"Clown keeps throwing obvious hints at Branzy too. Sometimes I think they're already dating just acting like they aren't." Red chuckled, he liked, loved these moments with Ash, where it's like they were the only people alive.

"That would be crazy though, but I kind of see it? It seems like something Clown and Branzy would do." Ash acknowledged the last part, making Red laugh because it was true.

After that conversation, it was just comfortable silence. Red even reached for Ash's hand, Ash took Red's hand almost immediately.

Now, instead of staring at the ceiling, and being in comfortable silence, they were now staring at the ceiling, in comfortable silence, while holding hands. They both stayed like this for a while, Ash just staring at the silly stickers on Red's ceiling that Spep probably sticked on.

Instead of Red also staring at the stupid stickers that were sticked up on his ceiling, he was admiring Ash. Admiring how his long black - purplish hair was tied into a messy braid that was settled beside his shoulder, admiring Ash's facial features, admiring how kissable, and soft Ash's lips look, all he can think about is how beautiful Ash is.

Red was so distracted thinking of Ash that he didn't even realize Ash was turned on his side, looking back at Red.

"Dude are you okay? You're looking at me like how Clown looks at Branzy...Are you stunned by how beautiful I am?" Ash joked, a grin soon appearing on his face.

"I don't know...Maybe I am." Red responded, almost sounding genuine that Ash had a somewhat shocked and flushed face.

"Good lord Red..you almost sound genuine." Ash muttered, clearly flustered. Ash's reaction made Red have a grin on his face, because it is genuine, but he isn't gonna tell Ash that.

"Maybe I am genuine, maybe I am stunned by your beauty, or not." Red grinned. As much as he enjoyed talking with Ash while laying on his bed, he needed to get up.

Red sat up as he stood up, he pulled Ash up with him. Ash looked like he was about to complain, but then his head turned over to Red's clock. The clock read 8:25pm.

"Shit- It's already 8pm..? I should get home." Ash said, letting go of Red's hand. He grabbed his stuff, heading for the door, but soon getting stopped by Red grabbing his wrist.

"Ash, it's already late, I think you should stay, plus your place is across the town." Red insisted, with a hint of worry and persuasiveness in his voice.

"Clingy. But I'm sure my dad won't mind me staying... It's just you after all." Ash decided to stay at Red's house, because his father indeed, did not mind him staying there.

"DUDE WHAT THE FUCK!" Ash yelled from the bathroom, trying to wipe off the lipstick Red put on him. They were both playing with some makeup in Red's bathroom.

"HOLY SHIT!" Red exclaimed in laughs, putting down the lipstick he used to smear on Ash's face, replacing it with a makeup wipe.

"Ash hold still." Red took the makeup wipe, and he held Ash's face with his free hand, he gently wiped the lipstick off of Ash's face.

"Th..thanks Red." Ash was red faced again because of how close Red was to his face, he shoved Red away, god why was Red doing this him.

– [I'm sorry there r alot of times skips LMFAO]

"Goodnight Red." Ash whispered, pulling the blanket over himself and turning his back on Red.

"Night Ash, sleepwell." Red whispered back, he was laid on his back, staring at the ceiling.

'Maybe Red can live with just being best friends with Ash.'

[ 'It's kinda getting late at night,
I don't really think it's safe, cause'
All the bridges fallin' down, and your place across the town.
What's the use in driving now?
Stay here instead.' ]
