Sometimes, Ash feels like a replacement.

He's not sure why, since he does, really does love Lance, but sometimes, if he looks really carefully, it seems like she is seeing someone else. Then, her eyes will slide towards gold instead of being warm brown. But the moment always passes, so Ash doesn't like to think about it too much.

Otherwise, he would go crazy.

 

It doesn't really click until they're sitting on the sunny, sandy beach of Cerise Island, somewhere in the Orange archipelago, when Ash is busy counting the little rocky peaks and realizes that there are seven of them around a volcano.

Oh. Oh.

He chuckles then, feeling red bleeding into his eyes, instead of muddy brown, and Lance smirks, hair running to crimson and eyes flashing gold, and hugs him.

And Red kisses back, feeling sharp fangs, and laughing. This is how things ought to be. Now, they are free.

Because replacements can only last so long
