Title: Flight Summary: Being unable to sleep, Max goes outside for some fresh air. Seems like Ash has the same idea as well. (Drabble) Rating: K Genre: Romance Series: Pokemon Pairing: Ash Ketchum and Max (Alfshipping/AshMax) The doors flew open and Max went outside.

In front of him he saw Ash up and on his Charizard. Charizard's wings were wide open, preparing to take off into the sky.

"Ash?" Max spoke, causing Ash to look at him.

"Oh hey Max," Ash replied, "what are you doing up?"

"That's what I wanna know about you."

"Couldn't get back to sleep."

"Yeah, me neither. Mind if I join you?"

"Not at all." Ash smiled and gently patted Charizard's back.

Max got onto the Pokémon's back and held onto Ash as firmly as he could. Charizard then took off and up into the starry night sky above. They went up and above the clouds, flying across them. Ash and Max's hair flew with the chilly wind. Various flying Pokémon were up in the air, flying near the two. Max looked at them and smiled, looking excited to see some Pokémon during their late night flight. Max laid his head onto Ash's body as he watched the Pokémon fly.

After a few minutes later, Charizard landed onto the grassy ground in front of the Pokémon center that they were staying in for the night. Ash looked behind him and opened his mouth before realizing that Max was asleep. Carefully he got off Charizard's back then gently picked Max up, carrying him back into the building. He walked back into the room May and Brock were still sleeping in and laid Max down.

Title: Hat Dilemma Summary: Sometimes a hat can get in the way of things. (Drabble) Rating: K Genre: Romance Series: Pokemon Pairing: Ash Ketchum and Max (Alfshipping/AshMax)

"Hey Ash!" He said running up to him.

"Oh hey Max!"

Ash caught him in his arms. Max went to kiss him, but he felt something hit his head. An 'ow' came from his mouth, The younger kid put a hand on his forehead.

"Are you okay?" Ash asked in concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine..."

Max tried again, but this time he went slowly unlike last time. His forehead touched the cap again, proving to be an obstacle. That was the only thing standing between their faces. His lips were so close, yet so far away.

They tried again a few times but each time, the hat was in the way. Max clutched onto Ash's clothes as his eyebrows furrowed and his mouth curled downwards.

"Sorry that my-"

Before Ash could finish, Max took his hat off and pressed his lips up against his. He kept the hat close to them so Ash could grab the hat back with no problem.

They broke off the kiss and their foreheads touched. Both of them smiles and closed their eyes. Ash grabbed his cap back, causing Max to put his hands onto Ash's shoulders.

Title: Squish Summary: When squishing a Pokemon's face goes from one thing to another. (Drabble) Rating: K Genre: Romance Series: Pokemon Pairing: Ash Ketchum and Max (Alfshipping/AshMax)

Max gently put his hands on Pikachu's face.

His hands went up the mouse's soft yellow fur, making Pikachu look like his face was getting squished, causing him to react in joy.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu let out, sounding delightful.

"He's so soft!" Max exclaimed.

"You wanna know who's softer?" Ash asked.

"Who?"

Ash put his hands on Max's face, squishing it like how Max did with Pikachu.

"You are!"

Max chuckled. "I'm not softer, you are!"

He removed his hands from Pikachu's face and onto Ash's. They laughed trying to squish each other's face as much as humanly possible.

Title: Tired Summary: Max is tired and he sits down next to Ash. (Drabble) Rating: K Genre: Romance Series: Pokemon Pairing: Ash Ketchum and Max (Alfshipping/AshMax)

Max stretched and yawned.

He sat down next to Ash, leaning onto him. He then grabbed the older one's arm, putting it around him and he held onto his arm. Ash smiled and put his hand on Max's head, going back and forth. Max tiredly pushed his hand aside, not wanting his hair to get messed up.

Ash laughed when he did that. On the other hand, Max covered his mouth as he yawned once again. He then closed his eyes, feeling relaxed on his arm. The tan trainer opened his mouth, but shut it closed after realizing he fell asleep. He chuckled, it seemed like today took a lot out of him.

He reached behind him, feeling around for a blanket. He felt one and grabbed it, putting it over Max. Ash kissed him on the forehead. He took the younger boy's glasses off, putting them in a safe spot.

Title: Stargazing Summary: Max distances himself from the campfire, sitting down at a cliff to look at the stars. (One-shot.) Rating: K Genre: Romance Series: Pokemon Pairing: Ash Ketchum and Max (Alfshipping/AshMax)

Max sat down at the edge of the cliff.

He laid his hands onto the grass behind him. He breathed in and out. The young kid adjusted his glasses as he looked up to the sparkling blueish gray sky above him. Goosebumps showed up on his skin as the gentle, chilly breeze hit up against his skin and hair, the latter of which flew with the flow of the wind.

He closed his eyes. A second later, though, he opened them up again.

"Hey Max." Someone said.

Max looked behind him, seeing Ash there behind him. Pikachu was on his shoulder like he always was. The mouse Pokemon jumped off and went next to a log that was lying close to Max. Ash walked to it as well and sat down on it, looking up at the sky. The younger one of the two looked back up at the sky, having a smile on his face.

He leaned onto Ash's arm, which caught Ash off guard, although he didn't mind it. Max put his hands onto his legs. He felt a bit of heat go to his face, knowing his face was becoming a light red, possibly redder than that. Considering he was on the ground and he was smaller than Ash, he figured he didn't need to try to hide his blushing face, thinking he wouldn't be able to see his face too well.

They sat there and relaxed as they gazed at the stars. The ocean below glistened and sparkled while it was hitting the land, being the only sound they could hear. Max saw something up in the sky and pointed at it.

"Ash look, it's a shooting star!" He said, his voice laced with excitement.

"Oh wow! Quick, Max, make a wish!" Ash looked at him.

Max laid his elbows on his legs and put his face onto his intertwined fingers, closing his eyes. A smirk crawled onto his face; he wasn't wishing on the shooting star, rather he was thinking. He opened his left eye and looked at Ash, who was just sitting there, smiling and looking up at the sky.

Max closed his eye, took a quiet deep breath, and opened both of his eyes. He looked at Ash completely. Quickly, he gave him a kiss on the cheek. Afterwards, Max only stared at him and his face was as red as a ruby. Ash put his fingers on where he was kissed, looking at the younger boy in front of him.

They only stared at each other, blinking a few times. Pikachu's head poked out to look at them both and know what was going on. Nothing was said between any of them, just the sound of the waves below the three. After what seemed like forever later, Ash opened his mouth and only let out a 'uhhh' rather than any actual words at that moment.

Max immediately started running off.

"Max, wait I-" Ash sighed, seeing he was getting too far away now for him to hear the trainer. He looked down. "I wonder what that was about..."

Pikachu jumped onto his lap. As he got on, his lightning bolt-shaped tail smacked Ash in the face, although it didn't hit him too hard.

"Pikachu!"

"Pika Pi Pika..." Pikachu spoke in an apologetic tone, scratching behind his head. He looked in front of him as he began muttering to himself laced with annoyance, "Pika Pika Pi Pikachu...!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Max stopped running at May's side, catching his breath.

May looked at her brother. "What's wrong, Max?"

The only response she got from him was Max repeating the words 'I did it' over and over again. May grabbed him and pulled him in for a hug. She smiled widely about her little brother.

"I'm so proud of you! What did he say?"

Max pulled away, scratching the back of his neck. "I, uh, left before he actually said anything."

May sighed. "Well, I guess we'll just have to wait until he gets back for him to say something about that."

"If he's not clueless about this kind of thing anyways."

A short pause stayed there between them for a bit before they began laughing. Max smelled the food that was being made, causing his stomach to growl for it. The growl caused them to go silent. Max put his arms onto his stomach.

She chuckled. "Go ahead, get some food, I'll go bring Ash back here."

Max nodded in affirmation. May got up and walked over to the place where Max ran back from. He went to get some food, and after getting a bowl's worth of it he sat back down on the log.
