The Knot - An Amourshipping Short

Skinny Love

Before I start, I just want to say that this chapter might be a bit dark... there is some swearing too.

Three more months have passed since the dance. Ash is still living in Kalos and Misty has moved in with him. Serena, too, has started living with Calem.

With Ash

The relationship between Ash and Misty has become bitter over the last three months. They are always fighting and can't seem to agree on anything. It was much more than a couple's fight now. The two were irritated by each other's presence. Being in a relationship with Ash was not as glamorous as Misty thought it originally would be. She was starting to get bored of him. This often caused Misty to have random mood swings and get get angry at Ash. This provoked a mirrored response from Ash, where, he too, would lose his cool and get angry at Misty. It was anything but a healthy relationship now.

It is summer now and Ash is working as a Summer Camp coordinator where he talks about Pokemon to little kids. It was a summer job to muster up some money.

We join Ash as he is making his way home early today as he was allowed to leave early.

Ash's POV

I unlocked my door and entered my house. Upon entering, I started hearing voices inside the house. It was coming from our bedroom. At first, I thought it was one of Misty's friends like May or Iris... but as I started walking up the stairs, I quickly figured out that it was a boy's voice.

I knew that the relationship wasn't healthy... but I still wanted to make it work. I dismissed any wrong thoughts and started walking towards the bedroom door... and that's when I hear it all... creaking beds... moans of pleasure... and names...

"Oh... Misty... fuuuuu"

"Ahhhh.... Rudy... mhhh..."

Rudy... that name. I met him in the Orange Islands. It was clear that he really liked Misty.

My eyes widened and I already had a very good idea of what was going on inside MY bedroom... but I didn't want to end a relationship because of a misunderstanding... again. So, I slammed the door open. As soon as I did so, I immediately started wishing I hadn't done so.

In my bed was a naked Misty... with her legs wrapped around a naked Rudy who was on top of her. They were so into it that they didn't even realise I was there. I couldn't even bring myself to talk. I was angry... very angry, I was confused and I was distraut, but, most of all I was broken.

This was a lot worse than what happened between me and Serena. She had a reason to do what she did. Misty is straight up cheating on me... If she wanted to do so... she could have broken up with me first.

I didn't even bother to say anything. I slammed the door shut, making sure they heard it this time, and walked down the stairs. I hear footsteps following me but I didn't even bother to look back. I walked out of the house and ran...

After a while, I got tired and started walking. I kept walking to clear my mind... but I couldn't. The Image of Misty and Rudy together was burned into my head and it was making me sick to the stomach.

As I was walking, I came across a large lake. It was already getting dark now and I was getting thirsty. I got a can of Mango Juice from a nearby vending machine, sat down close to the lake shore and starting thinking about happy times... like the ones I shared with Serena.

As I was sitting there, I heard a voice behind me.

"A-Ash!?"

I knew that voice very well. I turned around, and I saw the owner of the voice. My suspicion was true. My eyes widened, my jaw dropped. I stopped breathing momentarily ans I looked at the person. I felt my heart break at the sight of the person. The grip I had on the can loosened and it too dropped onto the floor.
