    Summary

    “Don’t cry or scream,” Ash pleas, then shoots a look at Gary. “Or laugh.”

    Gary's thoughts jump from Ash did something dangerous to Ash did something stupid to Ash did something dangerous and stupid. He tries to brace himself for Ash's announcement, but there’s nothing in the world that could’ve prepared Gary for Ash to reveal a baby in the basket.

    Delia is the first to recover. She leans forward to coo, “What a cute baby. Why do you have this cutie with you, Ash?”

    “She’s mine,” Ash says.

    Delia goes still. Gary thinks she stops breathing. He isn't breathing either.

    Ash has a soft spot for abandoned Pokemon. Gary should've expected that Ash would have a soft spot for orphans too.

    Summary

    It wouldn’t be so surprising if Ash is in love him.

    Three times Ash gifts an Applin to Gary and one time he doesn't.

    Summary

    Ash is sure his ten-year-old self would be horrified to learn Gary is his best friend. Back then, Ash couldn't stand Gary's sense of superiority. He always tried to find some imperfection in Gary's perfection. But now, there's something comforting about his presence, from the dark green shade of his eyes to the proud tilt of his chin and the curve of his lips. Ash realizes he's staring too much when Gary smirks at him.

    "Like what you see?" Gary asks.

    "No!" Ash spits out, quick and high-pitched.

    Ash sees Gary in a new way.

    Summary

    "I can't believe you got caught under a mistletoe! You're supposed to be smarter than that, Gary!"

    Gary bristles at Ash's insult. "It happened once. You got caught a bunch of times."

    "Nuh-uh. No one's kissed me."

    Ash looks far too proud of himself right now, as if it takes talent to dodge mistletoes. Gary scoffs.

    "Yeah, that's because I stopped everyone from kissing you."

    There are too many mistletoes in Pallet Town.

    Summary

    "How am I supposed to get rid of those reporters?" Gary asks.

    "Just be yourself. That'll scare them away," Ash answers, cheerfully.

    Gary rubs his forehead. He reminds himself that Ash is his friend, he likes Ash. So Gary can't toss him out of the lab because it would send him right into a crowd of reporters. Gary isn't that mean.

    "Alright. If they ask, 'Do you know Ash Ketchum?' I'll say, 'Never heard of him.'"

    Gary realizes he cares about Ash more than he thought.

    Summary

    "Everyone is staring at me," Ash mumbles.

    "No, Ashy-boy. They're staring at me. I'm the best dressed person here," Gary says, insufferably arrogant as always. "Now let's go say hello to everyone."

    Gary presses his hand to Ash's back. As they walk into the ballroom, Ash hears people whisper his name. He suddenly feels like he's stepping into a nightmare rather than a party.

    The World Coronation Gala marks the start of the tournament season. As the new monarch, Ash must attend. He takes Gary as his date.

    Summary

    "Gary is avoiding me!" Ash whined. "Today he pretended he didn't know me! He hasn't done that since we were ten!"

    "What happened between you two?"

    Ash snapped his mouth shut. His face flushed red when he remembered their last encounter. Honestly, Ash didn't understand everything about romance but he knew you weren't supposed to say, 'I love you,' then run away.

    Which was what Gary had done.

    Gary accidentally confesses to Ash. They're both bad at feelings.
