Disclaimer: Simple Plan owns the song ‘Addicted’. O.o Pokemon people own Pokemon. I am not one of them…

Author’s Note: This song REALLY reminded me of an Ash/Misty thing- and its one of my favorites. * yawn * And I might be doing a new series of songfics/fluffs or something- starting with this one. So here we go: Addicted

I sat up in my sleeping bag and scooted it back to lean against a tree. Sighing, I turned to look over at the lake. "Bad place to stay, May…" I muttered, staring into the deep, moving waters of the lake.

She stirred in her sleep and muttered a ‘Hmm?’ before sighing and cuddling back into her pillow.

The lake…reminded me of her. Not May her, but …her her. Misty her.

I knew I should be over Misty by then. But I wasn’t. Wasn’t closed to being. I shouldn’t have let her leave… I banged my head against the tree.

A voice inside of me told me she had to go. The gym, her sisters needed her. I tried to believe that if I was starting out in my journey and I arrived to get my Cascade Badge, I would be upset to learn that all four leaders were gone: three on a world tour and one traveling with her boyfriend.

True, we weren’t a couple yet, but I know we would have been if she had stayed!

"She should have stayed," I whispered to myself.

If I had known in advance she was leaving, I would have done anything to make her stay…

I needed her.

I glanced over at May- sleeping soundly a few feet away. A rage built up inside of me. That should be Misty!

My anger shifted from May to Misty. How could she just get up and leave me? Did I mean nothing to her? I pounded my head against the tree trunk, and May mumbled in her sleep.

I flipped over and buried my face in my pillow, angry at myself now.

‘No need to get mad…stay calm…’ I told myself.

But Mew…I needed her! We had only been apart a month now…not even…

Every night was like this. Missing Misty. It was like an illness.

Since the day I met you
And after all we've been through
Still a dick
I'm addicted to you
I think you know that it's true
I'd run a thousand miles to get you
Do you think I deserve this?

Obsession, even.

I tried to make you happy
I did all that I could
Just to keep you
But you left anyway

Addiction. That’s the word…

I laughed into my pillow. Addiction. I was addicted to Misty.

I turned over to stare at the stars. Yeah- I could see it. I needed Misty. I lived on Misty. That’s why the past month had been hell.

Addicted to Misty… I liked the sound of it.

True, it was kind of creepy…but it fit.

I crept over to my backpack and rummaged through it for something Misty. Something that would remind me of my love. I saw it! My old Cascade Badge. I picked it up… it still smelled like her- even though she had never touched it. I breathed it in and hugged it to my chest.

"Ash?"

I jumped and turned to face her. "What are you doing up…" I trailed off.

"Ash? You’re making a lot of noise! I’m trying to sleep!" She smiled at me, even though she was angry.

"M-M-M…?" I stuttered and crawled over to her.

She smiled at me, "Yes, Ash?"

"I’ve missed you."

She gave me a curious smile, "What do you mean, Ash? I’ve been here all the time"

I returned the smile, "Of course you have." I reached up to stroke her hair and then her cheek. She giggled, "Ash…"

"I’m glad you’re back Misty…" I murmured before I kissed her.

She pulled away from me, "I’m not Misty..."

Before she could talk I kissed her again, "Yes…"

Again she broke our kiss, "No! May- Ash…are you okay?"

"Great," I replied, moving in to kiss her again.

"Ash!" She pushed me back.

"Misty!" I was hurt. "I’ve been waiting for you for forever…"

She sighed, "But Ash! I’m not Misty…" She rolled over into her sleeping bag, "Get some sleep Ash."

"Misty…don’t you love me?" No…but she was back? Didn’t she love me?

"No!" She shouted and rolled over.

"But…why?"

"You don’t love me. So I don’t love you. Simple."

"I love you." I replied. Of course. Forever.

"No…" She sighed. "No…

I didn’t understand.

"Misty?"

She didn’t reply to me.

"Misty?"

Author’s Note: What ya think? Now go on and review. Tell me how great it was or how horrible, but if you want to tell me how horrible it was, then use proper English, capitalization, spelling, punctuation, etc.- that really bugs me when flamers don’t. XD Good day.
