Fic: In Our Final Curtain Call

Verse: Bound by Destiny 1/?   [MASTER POST]
Chapter Title: IN OUR FINAL CURTAIN CALL
Author: clover71
Fandom: Pokémon (Anime)
Pairing: Paul/ Ash (Comashipping)
Rating: PG
Description: Written for love_bingo Round 2, for the square prompt, 'without you'
Word Count: 3,500+
Warning: Underage kissing (although it's merely just a brush of the lips on the other's cheek so duh)
Chapter Summary: Ash had said goodbye to a lot of friends he had made over the past years and he should be used to it by now but why does it hurt to say goodbye, not to a friend, but to a rival?
Disclaimer: This is only fan fiction and written for non-profitable purpose. Pokémon and its characters are owned by its creator, Satoshi Tajiri.

Author's Note(s):
- I refuse to believe that the romantic farewell scene on the stairs is the last time Ash and Paul ever saw each other. If only I know who to bribe so they'll bring Paul back in the Black and White series, but I don't, so for now, I have to settle on fan fictions where in my thoughts and in my world, Ash and Paul are together.
- The title of this fic comes from the lyrics of the song played during Misty's goodbye scene when Misty finally says farewell to Ash and Brock at the end of the 5th season. Gosh, that scene still makes me cry even after almost 10 years.
- A million thanks to radcliffe_bass for reading through this and for watching several episodes of Pokémon with me just so she can help me with Paul's characterization.

Goodbye
Funny how that's such a hard thing to say.
Now it's time to let go but,
Never thought I'd feel this way.
