This could turn out to be a pretty long series… but I’m trying not to time jump.

Unfortunately, at the end of this chapter there is an R rated scene. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Chapter 16

Two weeks inside a cave.

Two weeks!
It was really, really not fun at all…

If it weren’t for Lance keeping him company, he might have atrophied. They explored the tunnels, kept the wild Diglett away, and spent a lot of time together in the dark telling stories, because there was nothing better to do.

Ash smiled as he burrowed his head in Lance’s chest at a particularly scary part in the saga of Mewtwo.

“Are you all right?”

“Just a little scared…”

“Don’t worry,” Lance said, smiling. “I’ll protect you.”
“Honto ni?”
“Of course I will. What else would I be here for? Unless you don’t want me to?”

Ash shook his head over and over.

Lance smiled, and continued with his tale. With a thermos of hot chocolate next to them, that helped too.

Still… being scared helped, he could cling to Lance and everyone would laugh at him but that was fine!

Because it was nice to be held, and he didn’t care about the circumstances at all… no, this was how he felt safe.

“So in the end, they didn’t’ live happily ever after.”

“Real life rarely ends happily ever after.”

Ash nodded. “I see.”

“But some of us pick the pretty things, and cling to them, and we gather bits of light in a shadowy realm.”

“Oh…”

“You don’t understand yet, but you will.” Lance promised. “Close your eyes, it’s getting late.”

Ash obediently went to sleep, curled up in Lance’s arms. Lance smiled, gently brushed a kiss against Ash’s lips, and closed his eyes as well.

So kawaii… but I’m afraid to break him.

Wait for me.

“Well done.”

“Thank you, father.”

“They found several Kabuto fossils that can be resurrected, but nothing else. In any case, get some sunshine and fresh air. Come back in two days.”

“Hai!”

Ash cheered. * Yay! I hope our next mission isn’t in a cave either. *

“Where to, Ash?” Lance asked, after he had emerged from the shower with only a towel around his hips.

Ash blushed a little, but shrugged. “I don’t know.”

“Well, I doubt you want to go to any cave.”

“No way!”

“Cinnabar’s a popular vacation spot.”

“Hmm… they do have legendary hot springs there.” Ash said a tad dreamily. * Maybe… we didn’t go there while I was on my trainer’s journey, so we can check it out now. *

“Well then, let’s head to Cinnabar Island.”

The two climbed on Dragonite again, and were quickly there.

Minutes later, they were soaking in the hot, mineral-enriched waters of a hot spring caused by veins of volcanic magma underneath the earth.

“You’re awfully tense, Ash.” Lance said. “Was the last mission that bad?”

Ash nodded.

Lance slid behind him in the water, and dug his fingers into Ash’s back. “Shh… just relax then.”

Ash bit his lip to keep from moaning as Lance massaged the ache out of his sore muscles. Yes, that was nice…

“Lance… I…”

“What is it? Does somewhere still hurt?”

“H-hai…” Ash whispered, embarrassment painfully visible in every single curve of his body.

Lance frowned. “Where?”

Ash decided to take the risk, and nudged Lance’s hand against his blood-engorged organ. “Here.”

All of the pleasant energy going to his head earlier had unfortunately caused stimulation. It didn’t help that it was _Lance_ doing the massaging.

Lance looked somewhat perplexed. * What the? *

A faint reddish haze took place in his vision as he realized what Ash was really trying to say. * Sweet little one, don’t tempt me… we’re still children, both of us… *

That didn’t stop the hormones though.

With an inward sigh, Lance smiled. “Don’t worry…”

He would not let it go farther than this, but in the meantime, he didn’t want to alienate Ash, so…

Ash’s eyes widened as Lance carried him out of the water and laid him on the smooth rocks at the edge of the pool. * What? *

That was when Lance stripped Ash’s wet boxers off, and then proceed to lick all around the base of Ash’s cock roughly.

Ash gasped in shock and pleasure as Lance ran his tongue along the length of his throbbing shaft. Yes! He wanted this!
He wanted it so badly…

Wasn’t that just lust though? But it felt so good…

Any coherent thought left him as Lance finished his inspection, and took the head in his mouth as he swirled his tongue around the tip.

He suckled _hard_. The electricity built up in Ash’s balls, before he spilled his seed into that waiting mouth.

Ash cried out as he came, trembling.

Lance licked his lips. * Sweet… so sweet… *

< Are you willing to be mine, sweetling? >

“Yes!” Ash gasped out.

< Forever? >

“Yours… forever. Only yours.”

“Good.” Lance said, before he kissed Ash passionately. * Mine. *
