Summary: Apparently dinner was a disaster that everyone rather not speaks of. Ash wakes up in the middle of the night because of his upset stomach and notices Trip alone. This might be Ash's only chance to have a heart to heart conversation before he kicks them out tomorrow…
Pairing: Ash/Trip, Cilan/Iris with hints of Cilan/Trip, Blair/Bianca and Blair/N
This title is named after a Umineko song.
Chapter 8: Not in a Sight Without Love
Everything was a blur. Ash was almost certain that he was dead this time. He thought he was dead multiple times though like the time he was petrified and the times where he almost drowned and then the recent one where he thought he was going to freeze to death. This was different though. His insides felt like they were going to explode. He thought his intestines stopped functioning but that really wasn't the case.
He opened to see Est looking down at him disappointed.
"I don't get you people." He heard her say. "Trip's spaghetti was delicious. You people have no taste."
"Pika pi!"
"Eevee!"
Ash slowly sat up trying to remember what happened. He remembered almost instantly and felt like throwing up again. This would be the second time he fainted today because of Trip and he wasn't pleased.
"That was terrible…" Ash finally said.
"Jerk!" Est told him as she flicked his forehead with her finger. "You are the worse boyfriend ever! What kind of boyfriend passes out from their lovers food?"
"Apparently me because it was really bad…" Ash replied not really understanding the full meaning of what the little witch implied.
She shook her head in annoyance. "I can't believe you. Trip was really upset."
Ash wouldn't believe that Trip was upset. If anyone asked, the Kanto trainer would have thought that Trip was trying to kill him by food poisoning. What did he say about Trip not being a murderer?
"What time is it?"
"It's past your bedtime." Est replied harshly. "You should wash your face. You had spaghetti all over it and your Oshawott had to water gun your face, but you still didn't wake up."
"Hey…what happened to everyone else?"
"In the same comatose situation as you were. They all took one bite and they all past out…except that woman with the red hair. She knows what good food is unlike you guys." As she turned to leave, she said one more thing that made Ash visibly flinch. "By the way, you might want to apologize to Trip. If you don't, I will force you to eat all of that food."
She left Ash's room and slammed the door behind him. Ash had no idea why she acted like she owned the place but seeing his worried Pokémon made him smile slightly.
"Sorry for worrying you guys." He apologized. "Where is everyone else."
"Pika pi! Pikachu!" Pikachu exclaimed using body language to communicate with his trainer. He was simply saying that the Pokémon were next door with everyone else's Pokémon.
"Oh, I see. Thank you Pikachu."
Pikachu blushed, which resorted in Eevee getting a little jealous of the affection Ash showed. He instantly jumped on Ash's shoulder.
"Eevee!"
"Oh yeah! I have to watch my face. Coming Pikachu?"
"Pika!"
Ash opened the door and left the room with Pikachu by his foot, following him step by step to the bathroom.
It took Ash at least five minutes to wash his face and change into his pajamas in the bathroom. When he looked at the clock, it was already midnight. He needed to get some sleep if the group was going to leave tomorrow since Cilan was already showing signs of feeling better unless this spaghetti ruined the chance to leave tomorrow afternoon.
Eevee was already asleep on his shoulder forcing Ash to carry him back to his room. Slowly, he put Eevee back on the bed. Ash noted that his Oshawott somehow snuck his way into his bed as well but what could he say?
Ash decided that he would find Trip with Pikachu. It didn't take long though. He was in the place that he expected Trip to be and that was the kitchen. All the lights in the mansion were off but the only light was the one that came from the moon. Ash could see Trip reading in the dark and that wasn't good for his eyes. His Vanillite was right beside him who looked just as upset.
"I know you're there Ash." Trip said that surprised the Kanto trainer. "I hope you're feeling better."
"Uh…I think so…I'm…"
"I'm sorry…I shouldn't have had served that…" He replied almost instantly. "I should have known that I couldn't cook."
Vanillite was suddenly more interested in Pikachu than her own trainer now. Ash gave the signal for Pikachu to take Vanillite away so he could talk to Trip on his own. Pikachu agreed as he asked politely for Vanillite to follow him. The ice cream Pokémon blushed as it followed Pikachu away shyly. Ash then took a seat next to Trip.
"…I don't get it…I followed the cook book step by step and it tasted fine to me…"
Ash really didn't know what to say. He couldn't lie to him because his body wasn't going to allow that, but the food was so bad that Ash wanted to cry but he ended up passing out instead. The Kanto trainer noticed that Trip's eyes weren't as shiny as they always were. Instead, they were very dull when he turned the page of the book.
"You shouldn't be reading in the dark." Ash lectured as he tried to take the book away from him. Trip swiped it away from Ash almost instantly but placed it next to him. "I'm serious Trip. You'll hurt your eyes doing that. It's basic to not read in the dark."
"Using what I say against me now…oh how the mighty have fallen…"
"What is that suppose to mean?"
Trip ended up ignoring him as he looked up toward the ceiling where some of the moonlight gazed down at him.
"I'm really sorry…" Trip apologized sincerely. "You were probably expecting me to cook a more desirable meal…"
"…"
"I'm always mocking everyone around me for their lame cooking skills yet I…"
"You'll get better Trip. Don't worry about it."
"But…"
Ash sighed. "It was probably just a fluke. You might have just messed up on what sauce to put in or you might have cooked the food for too long."
When Ash mentioned the sauce though, Trip instantly stood up and looked at the bottle he used. He glared at the bottle, as he wanted nothing more but to throw it at the wall.
"Dammit Est…" He cursed. "You swap the bottle on me…"
"See? It wasn't your cooking skills. It was just a misunderstanding."
"…No one here thinks that now."
Trip sat back down next to Ash and scooted closer to him without the older trainer not noticing.
"Come on. Just explain to them what happened and everything will be fine. Like those dead bodies, it has nothing to do with you."
"…"
"It really has nothing to do with you, right?"
"No, it doesn't."
"You see? You worry too much."
Ash realized that compared to Paul, Trip was much easier to talk to without him retaliating at any moment.
"…I am going to kill her if I see her again…"
"It was probably a prank Trip, come on!"
Trip grunted and ended up resting his head against Ash's shoulder as a result. Ash surprisingly didn't budge from his spot. Something in the back of his mind was telling him to pull the younger trainer closer to him but that sounded better in his head then actually doing it.
"You know, I had other friends that are horrible cooks." Ash began, "but they never gave up after one try. If you keep trying Trip, I'm certain you'll get better instead of sending people to heaven…err…"
The dirty blonde was silent after listening to this information. Ash thought he blew it and decided that it might be best to leave him alone.
"So…are you going to kick us out tomorrow?"
"I don't see why not."
"But we're not done cleaning the mansion."
"There's that but I didn't ask you guys to help me finish that list. I can do it by myself."
"But…this seems too much for you."
"It's fine. My uncle is always doing this to me. I'm use to it."
"…Was he the one that called you?"
"…"
"Trip?"
"…Don't worry about me." Trip managed to force out.
"Hmm?"
"Don't worry about the phone call or the dead bodies or anything you see here. Once you leave tomorrow, you can forget everything you saw and focus on your journey on becoming a Pokémon Master."
Trip was obviously flattering him. Ash actually felt embarrassed for once but…
"That's the first time you actually encouraged my dreams especially when you called it childish before."
"And what's wrong with me supporting it now?"
"Nothing wrong it! It's just cute. That's all."
The photographer's eyes were no longer dull now. Their original color came back but his entire face was beat read now. Ash didn't seem aware of what he just said and continued.
"If anything is wrong Trip, you can always call us for help. We'll help you out even in the hardest times…like the one now."
"…You mean what happened in Nimbasa City…I heard from Paige…"
Ash clenched his fist instantly getting pissed at the reminder of the tragedy. "Team Plasma will not get away with this."
This would be the perfect opportunity to reveal to Ash who the culprit was. All he had to say was that Cilan and his two brothers were the ones that bombed the stadium and the tragedy was over. That didn't seem right though knowing that Cilan was a nice guy overall. Still…
"So…what do you think of…"
"Hmm?"
"…Vanillite and Pikachu seem to be getting along well."
He was obviously changing the subject but Ash wouldn't notice.
"Yeah. They're so cute together. Pikachu doesn't even seem to be aware of the girls he attracts."
"Like you should talk…"
"What?"
"N-Nothing…"
Trip needed to find another conversation fast before Ash asked him something he didn't want him to know. He couldn't think of anything else so Ash ended up bringing up the subject again.
"Trip…about your mom…"
"…There's nothing between us now. Just a broken relationship between mother and son…"
Ash couldn't say anything to that. He and his mother had a wonderful relationship and even though she was letting him travel all the regions in the world, there bond was still strong. Unlike Trip's mom who couldn't care less what he was doing now. It was very depressing.
"So Trip…what about your father? What's he like?"
That seemed to be the wrong question.
"I wish I didn't have one." Trip remarked darkly. "He's a loser that needs to grow a pear or mom won't come back! I hate guys like that must rely on strong woman to do everything for them! It pisses me off so much! And now that he's doing his job as a cop now, he still can't bring mom back and go back to how everything originally was! Why is he so stupid!"
He was ranting more to himself more than Ash. The raven-haired teen ended up moving away from Trip when he basically blew up about his father. This was probably the worse topic Ash came up with and leaving was the best option now.
"I'll leave you alone now…I asked the wrong thing…" Ash said quickly as he got up and tried to leave. He was surprised when Trip snatched his hand and held on tightly.
"…Please stay with me…for a little while longer…" Trip mumbled. The change from him shouting to whispering was unnerving. Ash glanced at Trip's expression and noticed that his eyes were watery. Was he about to cry?
"…Alright."
Ash ended up sitting back down next to him but was still afraid of him snapping at him again. Nothing was said between the two. Trip leaned against Ash's shoulder again and this time, Ash put his arm around Trip. Ash had done this to Misty in the past but he felt nothing. This was different though. He felt his heart beating faster when he did this action. What was this feeling?
Trip wanted to stay like this for while. He had no one to lean on in the past. That's a lie though. He had Amanda in the past but she's dead now and he had no one to turn to. It was fine though. He was strong on his own and he has already proven it to those who didn't think he would survive so far. Still, this felt warm and nice.
"Ash…"
He heard his name being called again.
"Yes?"
"Thanks for putting up with me."
"Nah, I'm use to it!"
"…"
"Uhh…"
"Your hand…it healed pretty fast…"
Ash almost forgot about his hands. They didn't hurt anymore when he was hit with the baseball bat. Then again, he had worse injuries.
"Don't worry about it. I'm use to injuries like these."
"…Is that a good thing?"
"Depends on what you mean by a good thing."
It was quiet again before Ash's stomach started grumbling. Trip ended up pushing Ash away when he did that causing Ash to chuckle nervously.
"Sorry, I'm still hungry. Have anymore food that isn't spaghetti?"
"No…but…"
Trip stood up and turned on the lights. Ash had to shield his eyes from the light so they could just to the brightness. He noticed the book that Trip was reading though. It was a cookbook on how to make breakfast food. It was on the page of pancakes.
"…If everyone didn't give up on me then I was going to make this…but since apparently I'm a bad cook."
"No you're not!" Ash shouted as he stood up. "It was just one mistake that won't happen again!"
"Ash…"
He rolled up his sleeves as he was looking around the kitchen. "I'll help you cook this time. With me, there's no way this will go wrong."
"…"
"What?"
"You're willing to help me out this late?"
"Of course! You're my friend like Iris, Cilan and Bianca! We're a team and we got to stick together."
"Friend…together…"
Trip was silent again puzzling Ash. This was before Trip started to push him to where the ingredients were.
"If you're going to help me then you better be handy."
Ash was being forced to climb the shelf to get some of the ingredients. He was instantly starting to regret helping the younger trainer but if he were to notice the expression on Trip's face, he would have those thoughts. For once, Trip was smiling.
Cilan felt like he was having a hangover when he woke up the next morning. That was the last time they were all going to let Trip cook. From now on, he would do the cooking if Trip ever joined their group whether it was temporary or permanent. He shifted in his bed trying to figure out what exactly happened after Trip forced everyone to try his cooking because apparently, Ash's suffering was not enough for him. Before collapsing, he remembered that little witch was unaffected and neither was Jessie. They must not have had taste buds if they continued chowing down the food like it was chocolate.
"Uh…my head…"
He tried to roll off the bed but bumped into something. At first, he thought it was his Pokémon that were preventing him from doing so. When he turned around completely to see who was in his bed, he nearly shrieked.
W-W-W-What is Iris doing in my bed?
It wasn't like the two were naked or anything when they were in the bed. They however ended up in the pajamas that they borrowed from Trip and that was just as disturbing as trying to figure out who the hell put Iris in bed next to him. If she woke up, he would not hear the end of it not only from her but from Bianca as well, and knowing Bianca, she would probably tell everyone…and if it reached Burgundy, he was fucking screwed.
She started to shift in her sleep causing Cilan to freak out more. He tried to get out but Iris made it impossible especially when she grabbed him around the waste and treated him like he was a Teddiursa. His brain froze from this contact and his body wouldn't let him move at all.
"I love you Excadrill…" She mumbled in her sleep as she continued snoring.
The grass gym leader was rather disturbed by that statement.
Iris…are you dreaming about your Excadrill…or am I just getting the wrong idea?
Cilan just sighed as he ended up watching her sleep for a few minutes. He had to admit she was a beautiful dreamer when she wasn't so loud and childish. Then again, she was everything he wasn't…that was because his childhood was taken away from him.
"Iris…"
He ended up stroking her wild hair gently. She didn't even react as she continued to snuggle against him. It was endearing to him…
This moment the two shared didn't last long when there was a crash downstairs followed by the fire alarm turning on in the whole mansion causing Iris to jump out of bed.
"WAIT, WHAT WAS THAT? Wait…what?"
"…Well it's obvious that Trip is cooking again…not a good time…" Cilan shook his head in annoyance as he tried to get back to sleep despite the sound…and then the sprinkles went off in the entire house causing all the inhabitants to wake up and screeching to their morning being ruined. On the bright side, Iris did not seem to catch that she and him were sleeping in the same bed because of this disaster.
Of course Est was the first one who ends up going toward the kitchen after the sprinklers turned itself off. Her witch outfit was ruined and she thought she was going to catch a cold. While the little witch was there first, Iris, Cilan and Bianca would follow soon after. Team Rocket would come after them but they were more prepared at the very least with protecting their technology.
Apparently, Ash stayed up all night showing Trip how to make breakfast. After multiple trial and errors, they finally got breakfast ready at the table. The consequences of making simple pancakes (along with the eggs, bacon, and hash browns), was a messy kitchen. If you looked at the kitchen, it looked like the flour exploded on everything from the refrigerator to the sink. The eggshells were cracked all over the place. Whatever didn't make it into the stirring bowl got on the floor and the table, and that was basically a whole carton of eggs.
The smoke came from no one apparently watching the bacon and leaving the frying pan on high. The smoke reached the smoke detector and the sprinkles went off as a result.
Pikachu and Vanillite would have been ashamed of their trainers if they weren't covered in flour, milk and water. Their trainers weren't any better though. Trip looked pissed when all was said and done and Ash had this stupid grin on his face.
"What the hell Ash! I asked you to watch the frying pan and you couldn't even do that!"
"Come on Trip! I was helping you out."
"I did not need help with that!"
"But you couldn't carry everything to the table."
"You…"
Est's eyebrow continued to twitch as she got their attention.
"HEY!"
They both flinched at the tone of voice she was using.
"So I get everyone to bed and I finally finish repairing my hat that you destroyed Trip…and when I finally close my eyes, the sun is coming up. Just when I fall asleep and have the most pleasant dream with Ilyana, the sprinkles come off! I come all the way down here thinking there's a fire and then I see my best friend's son and his boyfriend covered in food like their was a food fight and you caused all of this mess…WITHOUT ME!"
Trip predicted that Est had nothing interested to say. If it weren't her though, Iris would have something to say first.
"You two did all of this…you two are such kids…" She ended up muttering. "And you're not killing us today."
"Morning everyone…"
Bianca reached the group and…the pajamas she changed into were rather revealing especially when water was poured on them. Iris was lucky that she was flat chested or Cilan could have seen right through it. Bianca on the other hand was not excused.
"C-C-C-Cover up!" Cilan ended up shouting as he took his top off and through it over her. It was better that he was half naked over Bianca revealing her chest.
Bianca was still dazed so she didn't realize that her boobs were being shown. She was lucky that she was with them or there might have been problems.
Ash just continued grinning at the group. "The food's done."
No one wanted to taste the breakfast after what happened at dinner. However, Ash was adamant about the whole thing and assuring everyone that Trip got it right this time. Cilan wasn't so sure about that. He just wanted to go back to his room and change. That's what ended up happening to everyone though before they all decided to start eating. Trip did not want to see Ash's face after what he went through last night. It was an amazing thing he had ever experienced because no one would volunteer to help him cook from the beginning to the end. Many people would give up. Ash did not give up on Trip though and even though they both messed up together, he was happy that everything was done. The only thing that pissed him off was that Ash thought it would be funny to throw flour in his face and start a mini food fight that would explain the kitchen's predicament.
In the end, everyone just hurried along with changing into their normal clothes that were not hit by the sprinkles surprisingly. The food was still hot so they weren't missing much.
While everyone was changing, Trip got a look around the areas that were on the list. Besides the sprinklers wetting everything, all the things on the list minus the garden were finished. All he would have to do is wipe everything up and he would be done…besides the garden though…but he didn't want to touch the garden for good reasons.
As a reward for helping though, he prepared better Pokémon food for them than yesterday. He didn't make it at all. It was just a better brand that he fed his Pokémon. They deserved it for their hard work.
The group didn't want to sit in the dining area again, but Ash convinced them otherwise. He ended up having to test the food in front of the group again to prove that there was no poison this time. He ate the pancakes without hesitation and kept going on from there.
"This is better than what you cooked yesterday~" Ash praised. "Glad I was there to see this through."
"Gee…thanks…"
It was hard to tell if Trip was thanking him sincerely or being sarcastic. It didn't matter now as everyone looked at his or her food. Est, who wasn't sitting at the end this time, was already serving herself as she was speaking to Jessie.
"Yay! Blueberry pancakes are my favorite~" Est declared as she snatched the blueberries from one side of the table.
Jessie seemed to ignore her at first, but like Est who had no taste buds originally, she too thought it was better tasting than the food yesterday. (She didn't understand why James and Meowth passed out though.)
"It's not poison…" Iris stated as she bit into her bacon.
"Does everyone here think I tried to kill them yesterday?"
"Of course." Est said with a grin as she snatched some bacon right underneath Bianca's nose.
Trip glared at her before giving her an evil smile. "Speaking of bad cooking, I realized last night that someone swapped the tomato sauce with soy sauce."
"Oh really? Are you sure you didn't just take everything out and then put whatever into the sauce?"
"No. I'm pretty sure it was there when I started cooking. And I'm almost certain that it was missing after I kicked you out of the kitchen."
"You're point."
Est didn't realize that Trip had a frying pan behind him. Iris and Bianca's eyes widened in horror as he hit her on the back of the head causing her to scream and turn around to face Trip directly.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"
"Because of you, I messed up yesterday and you're making me look like the idiot!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"To hell you don't!"
Cilan was actually amused by this scene and mumbled one thing. "It's chasing time."
And that's exactly what happened. Trip tried to hit her again and Est jumped out of the seat. Luckily, the hit wasn't strong enough to hit anything. Est started running for life with a piece of bacon still in her mouth and Trip gave chase around the dining room. Everyone just watched the scene either in horror or amusement, or if you were Team Rocket, you were eating the food before the twerps got their grubby hands on it.
"Trip…shouldn't be hitting a girl!" Bianca exclaimed as she stood up attempting to break up the fight.
"I think you should leave those two alone." Cilan said, still having his evil grin on his face. "If she's not here, then more food for us."
"I don't like your way of thinking…" Iris said with a sigh.
Ash was just watching the scene before he busted out laughing causing Trip to stop. Est kept running and eventually crashed into the wall. Her Zorua, that was hiding in her hat still just snickered at his trainer failing badly again.
"What's so funny?" Trip asked annoyed that Ash was laughing at him.
His friends were wondering what was so funny because what Cilan was laughing at was completely different from what Ash found funny.
"Nothing. You just seem like you're enjoying yourself for a change."
Trip blinked not understanding what he meant at first before he absorbed the information and understood. He instantly hid the frying pan behind his back and said nothing. Est rubbed her forehead that grew a noticeable red bump before turning toward her attacker. The pain she felt was instantly gone when she noticed his face.
"Ahh~ How cute!"
"Shut up…I lose my temper whenever you're around!"
"Don't say that to your elders!"
"I'll say what I want when you grow an inch."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY HEIGHT!"
It seemed like the chase was going in reverse now. Instead of Trip chasing Est, she was chasing him around with nothing but a nasty temper when the red button was pressed. Now everyone was laughing now at the display of immaturity. This sort of atmosphere should have lasted forever…
The happy moment was suddenly ruined when there was a crash at the door. Everyone stopped what they were doing because it sounded like someone was trying to break in.
"W-What was that?" Bianca ended up asking as she stood up ready to panic.
Ash turned to Trip who noticed that he froze instantly. He didn't have time to get to him though because there was a voice at the door…a voice anyone here would forget.
"TRIP, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU? YOUR TIME IS UP!"
Me: TBC with 5883 words.
Li: No more comedy after this?
Me: Unless the humor is from Est then no. Notes!
1. It was food poisoning that knocked Ash out.
2. I feel like it's unrealistic to stay up until morning to cook breakfast without feeling tired. Then again, Ash kind of had a food fight with Trip so that will very well keep them up and with messing up repeatedly.
3. I didn't mention this in the last chapter but I don't mind woman getting hit in slapstick. People shout sexist when a man hits a woman and it's never played for laughs but when it's a man, he can take all the abuse he wants from the woman and she won't have to suffer the consequences. For a while, I don't see what's wrong with a man hitting a woman in a comedic fashion. It's not domestic abuse at all from how I see it and I think it's more sexist for woman to hit a man and not suffer the consequences and people calling the woman the victim when a man hits them.
