Lance has bright eyes that are not really gold, but Ash likes to pretend they are. Ash likes to pretend, because really, he can’t face reality any more than he could when he started out on his journey. He knows, now, that all the time in the world wouldn’t really help him become Pokemon Master, but he needs a dream to chase, because without a dream he would be nothing.

Lance’s hair is pink and washed-out, nothing like dark brilliant red, but it’s a lot better than orange, and when Lance holds him, Ash can almost – almost pretend that he’s happy. Lance isn’t a girl, but Ash is pretty sure that he’s never going to get a girl anyway, so he makes do.

Sometimes, Lance will kiss him, and Ash allows him, because kissing at least feels nice. But sometimes, when Ash watches Lance, he sees flickers of something that might have been, and he wonders if he made the right choice.

Gyah. I wrote angst without explicit angst. Poor, poor Lance…
