Gary&Ash Against The World

Johto - Chapter 5

I'm so sorry it took me so long but I've been struggling with my health for weeks. I've been fighting some kind of flu for 5 weeks now and at this point I start thinking I maybe should go see a doctor. And for that same reason I've fallen behind on most of my classes and well, you know it sucks. So I hope you'll understand a little better now. But here's the chapter!:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gary POV ~

While I pulled a blanket over our naked bodies he wiped his face close to clean with a handkerchief from his pocket. The man choked out one word: 'Ash?' Ash snorted at him. "Yes father, it's me. Glad you still remember my face. Now can you please get your head out of our tent?"

He unwillingly obeyed Ash' demand and turned around to walk away but before he made the first attempt to actually take a step he stopped with one foot in mid-air. "Can we talk, tomorrow. First thing in the morning?"

Ash mumbled an okay that was barely audible for his dad who seemed satisfied with his answer and walked away.

First I zipped the 'door' of our tent back up and than pulled Ash really close to me. I felt his tears falling down on my shoulder. "Can we leave afterwards?"

"Of course Ash, if that's what you want." I kissed the top of his head. He nodded slightly and nuzzled my cheek, snuggling further into my.

We asleep not soon after.

Ash POV ~

The sun starting to shine woke us. "Morning Ash."

I moaned, not wanting to open my eyes yet. "Goodmorning babe, what time is it?"

"It's..." Gary pulled his phone out. "I don't know... My phone died over the night."

I pushed myself of his sweaty chest to look at him. "What?! How? Didn't you bring a charger or something?"

He rummaged some through his backpack, throwing all kinds of stuff every where in the tent. I caught some of the things he threw at my head. After he completely emptied his bag he concluded there was no charger for his phone.

"Damn it!" He slumped down and I pulled him in my arms. "In that case I think it's time for breakfast. With lots of chocolate."

Luckily I packed a small bag with bread and spreads for breakfast last night so we wouldn't have to leave the tent before we ate something. I grabbed multiple slices of white sandwich bread and spread a milky chocolate hazelnut paste on them, a very thick layer for Gary and a regular one for me.

While eating a large clot of the chocolaty paste ended up on Gary's cheek. I laughed at him. "What?"

He wasn't aware of the fact that he had crap on his face. Chuckling I move my head closer to his. At the moment we usually got pulled together for a kiss I opened my mouth, stuck my tongue out and licked the clot from the corner of his mouth.

"Aw man, why did you do that?!" We laughed together at what just happened. "You had..." I had to take a deep breath here. "You had crap on your face."

"Ow!..." The sudden revelation caused him to fall in a fit of laughter. Somewhere from outside of the tent I someone yell at us. "Idiots."

After that we went to the bathroom facility together. Freshen up from last night, getting dressed for the rest of the day.

Then we went to see my father. I'm not even sure if I want to call him my dad after all he put us through. It takes jut the deed to become a father but to become a dad, takes dedication. Something he hadn't shown in the years after he left.

We talked about my relationship with Gary, how I spent the last years of my life and well everything. Very briefly. Because it's just to much to talk about in one hour or two. God knows how long I spent in that tiny room he called 'his office' with just the three of us.

The rest of the day we tried to find another camping a little further to the centre of Johto. And of course training for the contest next week in the capital of Johto.

I'm sorry this is it for now. I have no inspiration left and I gotta work on all the homework I have neglected...

Feel free to share your thoughts about this chapter and from now on I'll try to write a response to every one of you! :)

The picture at the beginning isn't mine but I found it just then and thought back to the first few chapters of Palletshipping and wanted to share it with you.

Beebee out ;3
