Chapter Text
"I love you, Goh."
Goh felt a hand on ruffle his hair, and a soft giggle from Ash. "I-I love you too."
He was still getting used to this whole 'boyfriends' thing. Now that he had finally somehow worked up the courage to ask Ash out, even after their first date, he would still be a bit flustered and surprised when Ash said something romantic to him. They still had yet to tell Professor Cerise and Chloe, but Goh subconsciously knew they both had been expecting it. He recalled many of Chloe's teasing remarks on his closeness with Ash. Just things like "oh, look, it's your boyfriend!" Whenever Ash walked into the room left an embarrassing memory for Goh.
"We'd better get to bed, it's 10 PM," Ash suddenly said, "we want to wake up early tomorrow to catch some new Pokemon."
Goh yawned. "Yeah."
He could feel the exhaustion creeping in. His eyes began to get heavy, and he felt the world around him get enveloped in a sleepy haze. "Hey, Goh! Don't fall asleep on me yet! You're not even in the bed!"
This snapped Goh out of it. "Mhm," he began to giggle.
He stood up, and without thinking, wrapped Ash in a giant bear hug. The black-haired boy blinked, surprised, but then returned Goh's affection. "Goodnight," Goh said softly, smiling.
"G'night."
Ash clambered into the lower bunk, shifting onto his side and closing his eyes. Goh started towards the ladder to the top bunk, then something came over him. Gazing at Ash's sleeping form, he was met with adoration for his lover. He climbed into bed beside Ash, causing his partner to shift groggily. "Huh...?"
He turned around, his eyes widening. "G-Goh!" he exclaimed.
"Can't we sharreeee?" Goh asked. He made sure to put on his cutest, pleading voice.
Ash smiled softly. "Of course."
Ash wrapped his arms around Goh, and the two boys cuddled. Goh felt himself drifting off to sleep in Ash's arms. That's great; there's no place he'd rather be.
