So… the aftermath…

RECAP: Love confessions, sex…

Chapter 16

 

            “I love you.” Ash whispered as he snuggled up to Lance.

            Lance smiled. “I know. But there’s something you should know… I’m in Team Rocket.”

            “Really?” Ash asked sleepily.

            Good, he had timed it correctly. The boy was too satiated to complain. He continued stroking Ash’s hair in a soft, repetitive motion. “Hai.”

            “You’re not… a bad person…”

            “I’m not?” Lance teased.

            “No…”

            “That’s good.” Lance whispered. “Sleep now.” And Ash did just that. Sleep was nice…

            Relaxing… calm… perfect…

            I love you so everything is right with the world.

 

            Lance called his father and reported success.

            Sure enough, Ash fell easily. The bugs told him they had to work and it was their duty to punish the world.

            It was right, right? This was what Serebii had tried not to tell him. The pokemon admitted it freely now. After all, Lance had caught Serebii and with the Earth badge, it had to obey.

            It was just and right what he was doing.

            Fair? Fair.

            Besides, Lance loved him, and that made it all the better.

            Success.
