It had been maybe a month or 2 after defeating the Pokemon League of the Alola Region and claiming your prize as Champion of Alola. Lillie had decided to go on a journey, Hau had fianally beat his Grandfather Hala and was made Kahuna by Tapo Koko himself. You hadn't heard from Gladion in a bit and wondered how he was doing. Sure you met up with Hau and Lillie every once in awhile to catch up but Gladion never showed up. Despite always being invited. "Gladion what's up with you.." You mumble to yourself, walking back to your cousin Kukui's lab with your starter, who is now evolved, by your side. The cold autumn breeze brushed past you as you fiddle with your key ring, trying to find the one to the front door. An unlocking sound is heard as the door opens. "Hey Y/n," It was Gladion. You were at a loss for words. You hadn't seen him for the last 2 months and now POOF! He's back. "Gladion?" It was all you could muster. You always did find the male attractive, especially when he smiled,which was a very rare occurance. Gladion simply grabs your wrist and pulls you inside and out of the cold night breeze, your starter simply following the 2 of you inside.
"Gladion what are you doing here? Where's Professor Kukui?" You ask and look up at the blonde with a nervous expression. "He had to leave last minute. Some urgent research thing I guess," Gladion says simply and takes a seat on the sofa. You return your starter to its Poke'ball and follow suit, sitting next to Gladion. "Does your sister know you're here? She IS Kukui's assistant." You say looking into Gladion's pale green eyes. "No, she doesn't know." He says blandly.
"Do you plan on telling her?" You ask. He shakes his head no. "How's your mom?" You ask. Ever since that whole ordeal with her turning a crazy jelly fish lady, you were curious to know how she was doing. "She's alright," Gladion's response was brief, just as useual for him in this case. You're about to ask another question when Gladion puts his hand up, signaling you to stop. "Enough." He states and pulls you closer to him. He had matured since you last saw him. He had grown taller and his voice dropped a little lower in pitch. He even became more muscular. You cheeks flare a bright red as you make contact with his chest. Silence fills the room apart from soft breathing. "This is nice," He says softly as his gently hand caresses your hair. You smile at his touch and nuzzle into him. You look up at him curiously and smile at the soft pink blush layering his cheeks.
"Gladion?" He looks down at you with a gentle gaze. "Yes?" He responds. You simply smile and peck his nose. Which he smiles, his cheeks hot as he hugs you closer to him. "I know you love me." You say with a smile.
