Pre-relationship Amy considering Ash her best friend since hes the one to not only tolerate Amys nerdiness and general social inadequacy and other quirks (aka autism) but also encorages her to be her true self and not care what anyone else says about her and that anyone who thinks otherwise wasnt worth her time to begin with (shes already lost multiple friends due to said autism and thus ended up getting clingy to those that did stick which led to them leaving too)

It was the middle of the night and Amy found herself unable to sleep once again. She tossed and turned for a while before resulting to just staring at the ceiling. It was then in the middle of her overthinking that she heard a small groan come from the bunk below her, followed by a hushed, "Amy?"
Crap, she woke someone up.
Amy peered her head down off the side of her bed to see Ash, looking back up at her with a tired, but concerned expression. "How come you're awake?" He pondered quietly, still rubbing a bit of sleep from one of his eyes.
"I never slept." Amy sighed. "Ive never been good at falling asleep quickly, never been good at staying asleep either."
After a short silence, Ash responded. "Well i think i can help."
"How so?"
"Come down here, and bring your pillow too." Ash said while shuffling himself on the bed to where there was enough room for Amy to sleep beside him.
Amy climbed down from her bunk, pillow in hand, only for Ash to snatch said pillow and place it next to his, poorly attempting to make a little nook with the two of them.
Once he was satisfied with the result, he gently took Amys hand and led her into the bed, draping the covers over her once she got somewhat comfortable.
Amy was taken aback by all of this, out of all people to do this sort of thing, Ash was the one she expected the least.
"This may sound stupid but.." Amy let out a soft yawn before continuing. "..Why are you doing this?"
"W-well.. for one thing i want to help. And isnt this something that couples do? They share a bed, right?" Ashs cheeks began to turn a rosy pink as he tried to feign confidence. He was still new to this whole 'romance' thing.
"Besides, you seem to fall asleep pretty easily when we nap together. So me being here clearly helps." He gave a soft smile towards Amy, who finally began to doze off.
"Yeah, youre right". Amy drowsed before leaning up against Ash, laying her head on his shoulder before finally getting the sleep she craved.
Ash meanwhile took a little bit longer to fall asleep, taking the time to fully appreciate Amy being right beside him. He planted a soft kiss on Amys forehead, and whispered a faint "I love you" before falling asleep too, hoping this sort of thing would become more common.

Do you have a partner pokemon? If so, who and do they and ash get along?
What other travelling companions were you close to?
Whats your opinion on the different professors?
Is there an adventure that you liked most together?
Are the movies canon to your selfship? If so, how did you feel during pokemon 2000?
Do you do contests?
What's your favorite type and does it have an overlap with your si?
Ill try and answer these as in character as my SI so bear with me( ;´・ω・`)
All of these are gonna be under the cut due to the length
How'd you meet?
'Ash and i met in Ecruteak City, shortly after he won his gym battle against Morty. I heard there was a trainer who had a odd-coloured Noctowl, and rushed to meet him at once'!
Do you have a partner Pokemon? If so, who and they and Ash get along?
'My partner is my shiny Sylveon, Aurora! Ive had him since he was an Eevee, and him and Ash get along great!'
What other travelling companions were you close to?
'Ive always been good friends with Ash's travel buddies, and i consider May and Dawn to be some of my closest pals (at least when it comes to non pokemon heheh)'
Whats your opinions on the professors?
'I have great respect for the professors and what they do, especially Kukui and Burnet! I hope i could make researching my job someday.. :]'
Is there an adventure that you liked together the most?
'Travelling through Alola was so fun, it was nice to just lay back and take things slowly, especially after what happened in Kalos.'
Are the movies canon in your selfship? If so, how did you feel during Pokemon 2000?
(Going OOC for a bit to say that not all of them are canon, and even if i end up deciding if 2000 is, Amy wouldnt have been there at that point)
'Ive overheard some things regarding Ash and Lugia.. i wasnt there when that all went down, and ive tried asking him about it, but it seems he dosent want to bring any of that up..., its not the first encounter with legendaries weve had, and Ash has done some pretty reckless things during them. Those sort of things make me worry the most..'
Do you do contests?
'Ive tried! Honestly i dont think its for me though, turns out im not good in the spotlight. Showcases werent that fun either, there was a lot of pressure to do good and i just didnt want to grt involved in that.'
Whats your favourite type and does it overlap with your SI?
(Going OOC for this)
My favourite type is Fairy! And yes it does overlap Amy has a lot of fairy types hehe
Thank you so so much for asking!! This was fun to write ( ・ω・)

the thing is, i feel like sometimes self-shippers don't fully embrace the idea of a character being in love with them. instead, the character looks like they are pretending to be in love, like unwillingly putting on this role on the side, as they continue their own life as their canon self, you know what I mean? you need to be more self-indulgent. you have to disrupt their in-character persona in some way, because love is now present and it alters things and people. someone who is in love with you, as aloof and emotionless as they may seem, will care for you and will change if necessary. they will do things for you that they wouldn't normally do for others or even for themselves, because you are not just a random dude showing up next to them. you are their person.
fresh mown grass and and blooming flowers for the ask game!
Omg haii iris!! (Once again doing this for ash lol)
fresh mown grass: what is your f/o's favorite scent? does it remind them of anything specific?
Honestly i dont think its ever mentioned in canon so i reckon its that scent rain has sometimes ~~also razzberries cause amy somehow keeps being razzberry scented, yes that spelling is intentional~~
blooming flowers: what is your f/o's favorite part of nature? do they even have one?
Ash wouldnt have a favourite, he loves all of it equally! The warmth of the sun, the flow of rivers, the size of forests and scale of mountains, he truly appreciates it all!

fireflies: how do you light up your f/o's life?
