The next few weeks as we traveled to Circhester to take on the Rock Type gym were some of the happiest I had ever experienced. Gary was the perfect travel companion. After that first night, he insisted on taking turns making meals and cleaning up. He always had something interesting to talk about to keep our conversation going. And training with him was incredibly insightful since he knew more details about pokemon anatomy than anyone I had ever known.

Within a week of traveling together, I realized why he had suggested it though. It was when I had released Dreepy for the first time. My whole body had been shaking slightly when I released him, but a firm hand had gripped my shoulder as Dreepy made his creepy appearance in front of me. Umbreon had also made an unexpected appearance when I released my new pokemon. As I got to know Dreepy and worked with him, Gary had stayed right next to me the whole time like a silent guardian.

I could hardly even grasp just how relieving having Gary there with me was as I slowly developed a real relationship with my Dreepy. Gary even helped me research more about Dreepies so I could understand the little one's background. Even though I got goosebumps when Dreepy startled me, which he loved to do, I was actually beginning to feel some affection for the little scamp.

While my affection grew little by little for Dreepy, my feelings for Gary were growing exponentially greater. I had never before felt so comfortable around a male in my life. My cheating jerk of an ex used to constantly compare me to other girls and always made little comments about how I should dress or what I should wear. Gary did none of that. He actually never even commented on my physical appearance at all. He just accepted me for who I was and stuck by me as I worked through my fear of ghost types.

After we had each taken on the rock gym, where he had attached scanners onto all of my pokemon just in case I dynamaxed them, Gary had said we might as well head to the next gym together too. I wasn't about to turn him down, and we had rented special rotom bikes that could be ridden across the water's surface. It had been a blast riding on the extremely cold water, running from the occasional territorial Grapploct, and setting up camp on the shore of the river.

"What's your plan for the next gym?" Gary asked after we had just finished a practice battle between my newly evolved Hatterene and his Dracovish. In our time together I had come to adore his gigantic pokemon and even though Hatterene had the advantage, we were at 3 to 2 for our practice battles between them. I hated to admit it, but Gary was good.

"Hatterene will be who I lead with," I said, laying down on the sleeping bag I had stretched out next to our fire and looking up at the stars. "Perrserker knows some fighting moves as well so I'll probably have him come in for a few battles," I said as I flitted my fingers over my six pokeballs on my belt, thinking of my current team. "And if things are getting desperate then I've got Chesnaught to fall back on."

"You've got a pretty good team to take on a dark type gym," Gary said from across the fire where he was stretched out, already tucked into his own sleeping bag.

"What about you?" I asked, glancing over to look at his side profile. I tried not to think about it, but honestly, it was a little frustrating how platonic Gary always was. I didn't dare try anything to upset the balance that existed between us though. I wanted to spend more time with Gary, even if it was just as a friend.

"Hmm," he said thoughtfully as he gazed up at the stars. "I might have to trade around some of my pokemon for the battle. Dracovish knows Low Kick though, so I will probably just lead out with him and hopefully intimidate some of his pokemon."

"Do you think a gym leader's pokemon would get intimidated that easily?" I asked in surprise and Gary chuckled before looking over at me with a knowing smirk.

"Any pokemon can be intimidated."

The conversation pittered out and soon it was apparent that Gary had fallen asleep. I curled up in my sleeping bag and wondered if I would ever get the courage to tell Gary how I felt.

After dropping off their rental bikes several days later, Gary and I made our way through Spikemuth. It had a grungy feel, not so much ill-kept so much as just purposefully dark. Several Team Yell members recognized me from our interactions in Turffield and I was surprised when they eagerly shoved me towards the gym. Apparently, they were wanting to see Piers trounce me and prove he had been too generous to endorse me in the first place. I rolled my eyes at that, but I couldn't go against the tidal wave of Team Yell grunts pushing me forward so I just went with the flow.

As we got closer to where the "gym" was supposed to be located, heavy rock music could be heard coming from it. Rock had never exactly been my 'jam'. But with the cheering and pulsing from the speaker, I couldn't help feeling my head nodding to the beat.

As I was herded into what looked like an abandoned lot of some kind with chain-link fences surrounding the square of cement, I heard the sound of a deep male voice blasting out a song. My eyes widened as my attention was completely captured by Piers up on the stage at the end of the lot singing along with his band.

A familiar weight rested on my shoulder and I looked over to see Gary shoving his way through the crowd to come to stand by me. He opened his mouth and I could tell he was trying to say something, but with the cheering crowd and the sheer volume of Piers' singing I couldn't make out a word. I gave him a confused expression and shook my head. He then gripped my shoulder a little tighter and bent down, putting his mouth right next to my ear and causing butterfrees to riot in my stomach.

"Kind of pretentious to perform right before a battle, huh?" Gary yelled, but even then I could barely hear him. My cheeks were on fire, but I angled my head so we were practically cheek to cheek so I could yell in his ear to respond.

"This was probably pre-planned. It'd be pretty exhausting to perform before every battle," I responded loudly. Someone next to me jumped suddenly, knocking into my back and propelling me directly towards Gary. My lips smacked his neck right as I felt Gary's arm circle me protectively. If I had been blushing before I was practically on fire now and I couldn't do anything but pull my head back slightly before pressing my forehead against Gary's shoulder to hide my burning face.

"You okay?" Gary yelled into my ear, so close that I actually felt his lips brush against my ear. I jerked away from him, whapping my hand against my ear which was tingling like crazy, and nodded desperately. Gary let me go and covered his mouth with a hand, but I could tell he was laughing at me.

The concert lasted for another two songs before Piers and the band had finished. The crowd was screaming for an encore, but Piers shook his head and to my surprise, his eyes rested directly on me.

"The time has come for me to face the trainer I endorsed," Piers announced into his microphone.

The crowd exploded in a split of cheering and boos. I flinched, not used to so much attention directed towards me. I could feel Gary walking up next to me, but his comforting presence was suddenly ripped away as two random fans grabbed my arms and tugged me through the crowd, shoving and pushing people out of the way until they shoved me out into a now cleared spot on the concrete lot.

Piers jumped down from the stage and his bandmates scooted the crowd even further back to give us space. I was surprised to find out that this was the only gym in Galar that was not built on a power spot that would allow pokemon to Dynamax. However, I was actually a little relieved not to have to worry about getting out of the way of my super-sized pokemon's moves for once.

Even without dynamaxing though, Piers was tougher than I had anticipated. His Skuntank really threw me for a loop and I had only barely returned Hatterene before it could release a super effective poison type attack. Luckily though, my Hippopotas managed to take it down in a double knockout battle. I felt bad that Hippopotas had fainted, but after that, I managed to win the battle without losing any more pokemon. At Piers' defeat, we were greeted once again with a mix of cheers and jeers, but Piers seemed quite pleased as he came over to present my badge.

"As I thought, you are a gifted trainer, Sayuri," he said. With his rocker makeup on he looked quite scary, to be honest, but he smiled kindly at me. To my surprise, he patted my head after giving me the badge and he tilted his head almost affectionately.

Unsure how to react to this odd gesture I could feel my cheeks heating up slightly in embarrassment. I nodded briefly and mumbled a 'thank you' of sorts. But before I could do more than that, I felt a large hand grip my wrist unexpectedly. Looking over my shoulder, I was surprised to see Gary glaring openly at Piers.

"We'll be going now," Gary said in his usual polite tone. However, his grip on my wrist tightened and he marched away, dragging me with him before I could say another word.

"Wait, Gary, slow down!" I said as he pulled me through the crowd, who happily moved around us so they could swarm their idol once again. Gary's legs were long and I had to take two steps for every one of his, making it quite difficult to keep up with him. He didn't seem to notice though and just continued marching through Spikemuth.

I had never seen this quiet anger from Gary. Even though he appeared calm as usual, his grip on my wrist and his clenched jaw seemed to scream pent-up frustration. What had happened to cause this reaction, I had no idea, and honestly, it was kind of scaring me. When he breezed by the Pokemon Center though I tried to tug on his hold on my wrist.

"Wait a minute. I need to heal Hippopotas," I said as I pulled backward, but Gary didn't slow and he continued to tug me forward.

"She can wait," he responded calmly while still facing forward and my own anger was beginning to flare now.

"Excuse you, but she fainted! I should take her to the PokeCenter," I argued vehemently, but nothing I did seemed to loosen his hold on me.

Gary moved swiftly through the dingy streets of Spikemuth until we were past the walls surrounding the city and back on a normal path with trees and grass lining it. He continued yanking me down the path and I was seriously contemplating trying to bite his arm to get him to let go when he suddenly veered off the path.

I had to jog to keep up with him as he walked towards two very large bushes. When he walked behind them though, I cried out when he suddenly yanked me. I tumbled onto my back and was about to ream into him when suddenly his face was only inches above me. My entire body froze as I realized that Gary was straddling my small body with his knees on either side of my waist and his hands pressing into the ground near my ears. My brain went completely blank as I looked up into Gary's dark eyes and realized they were practically a storm of swirling emotion as he glared down hard at me.

"So any guy will do as long as they are older, huh?" Gary asked in an icy voice that was so unlike his usual cool and confident tone that I wondered if someone had somehow taken over Gary and was speaking through him.

"What?" I choked out, not daring to move as Gary continued to glare down at me, not moving from this incredibly awkward position.

"I get that girls like it when their guy has experience, but you really should set the bar higher," Gary said in a rumbling voice that gave me goosebumps.

"What are you even talking about? I don't understand..." I said, looking around me anxiously and trying to figure out what had triggered this terrifying transformation. My entire body flinched as Gary suddenly touched my cheek with a shockingly cold hand. My eyes jumped up to meet his stormy ones again. I shivered as I realized that his usually calm expression had turned into something that almost seemed to be between apathetic and disgusted, which I didn't think was even possible.

"Should I teach you what older guys would do to someone like you?" he asked, his voice completely monotone by this point. I opened my mouth to try and tell him that would NOT be necessary, but like a striking Ekans his face suddenly bent down and I found myself in a lip lock with the guy I had been crushing on since I got to Galar.

I was so shocked I couldn't even think to move. Gary didn't seem to notice though and slowly sprawled out, trapping me underneath his much larger and stronger body. His kiss deepened and a whimper I had no control over came out of my throat.

No! I screamed inside. Not like this! Gary, please, not like this! Tears began streaming from my eyes and Gary jerked away glancing at the liquid running against his fingers pressed to my face and then looking into my eyes. Shock and shame flitted through his expression but before he could say or do anything else I reached up and slapped him across the cheek. The palm of my hand stung from the impact and Gary's cheek was turning bright red. Nearly choking on a sob, I placed the back of my stinging hand against my eyes and closed my mouth, trying to stop my stupid tears.

Gary slowly moved off of me and I heard him back up a few steps. I curled myself into a ball once his weight was gone from me and wiped at my eyes; trying desperately to stop crying. Nothing seemed to make sense and even before I had calmed down I pushed myself up and turned, slightly surprised to see that Gary was sitting just a few feet from me. His head was bowed and he was sitting absolutely still and I could feel my anger bubbling inside of me at the same time as my heart was breaking.

"What's wrong with you?" I choked out, still wiping at my eyes. "After a month of acting like we would never be anything but friends you suddenly need to teach me a 'lesson' and kiss me?"

Gary didn't look up, actually, he bowed his head even lower and shook his head slightly. "I'm sorry, Sayuri," he said quietly.

"Sorry? You're sorry?" I repeated hysterically, looking around for something I could throw at him. "Sorry isn't good enough, Gary! What possessed you to do something like that? What on earth did I do to you?"

Gary flinched and turned his head towards his left shoulder, still looking down at his lap. Silence descended but finally he let out a sigh.

"It doesn't matter. I was in the wrong. I'm sorry," Gary said despondently. My tears were finally spent and all I could feel was anger.

"Like heck it doesn't matter!" I yelled, crawling over and pushing Gary's shoulder. He rolled back slightly but still refused to raise his eyes. "Do you have any idea how badly I have wanted to mean something to you?" I seethed through gritted teeth as I knelt in front of Gary's unmoving figure. "Do you know how scared I was when I fell in love with you after having such an epic failure of my last relationship? But now, after months of making it painfully clear that there was never anything between us, you drag me away from my gym battle like a child and then say I was in the wrong and need a lesson? How dare you kiss me without any feelings like that!"

My breath was coming out in deep gasps after my rant and I was too worked up to feel embarrassed at the horrendous confession I had just given Gary. He remained like a statue though and after a few moments, I slumped down, holding myself up with my hands as I stared down at the grass beneath me. How on earth did everything go so wrong so quickly? I thought in despair as my feelings slowly began to numb.

A shift of movement pulled me from my depressing thoughts though and I blinked up to see Gary had bent one of his knees and was resting an arm on it. He slowly lifted his eyes and I was surprised at the deep sadness that seemed to emanate from his eyes.

"I'm not a good guy, Sayuri," he said after a lengthy pause. A disbelieving snort came up my nose and I wasn't sure whether to be angry or just annoyed at him. He lifted a limp hand as if to stop me from commenting though and sighed deeply.

"Look... I told about what a brat I was when I was a kid," he said with a look of deep shame and I narrowed my eyes in confusion.

"Yah..." I said hesitantly and Gary rubbed his hand against the back of his neck.

"I wasn't just a cocky trainer. I was arrogant, rich, handsome, and selfish. Pretty much everything materialistic girls look for in a guy," Gary admitted with a completely flat expression. He wasn't bragging, he was just stating facts. I frowned, wondering how this was going to tie into him suddenly forcing a kiss on me.

"Ever since I was young I had girls swarming around me. Even after I decided to be a researcher I was a hormonal teenager and I wouldn't turn away someone who was interested in me. But no matter what I did or who I was with, I felt empty inside. So I cut out girls from my life completely and just focused on my work."

It was a little uncomfortable to imagine all of the girls that Gary had been with in his past, but I pushed that thought away so I could focus on his story. I was a little shocked that he was baring his soul to me right now and I still wasn't sure how to react to what he was telling me.

"When I sat by you on the train and then when we met at Nessa's gym, I could tell you were attracted to me." I stiffened at this revelation, but I also knew that I was not the smoothest operator in the world so it really wasn't surprising that he had figured it out. "But even so you weren't like the other girls I had met. You didn't try to push yourself on me or chat me up. You seemed genuinely interested in my work, and you were easy to talk to. It was nice. Having a rival I was on friendly terms with."

My mouth remained stubbornly closed as I listened to Gary's version of the time we had spent together. I was partially glad that I had never acted on my desires to ask him out or act romantically around him since apparently, he found that to be a huge turnoff. But I was still confused as to why he had pushed me down and acted so cruel.

"Then I noticed you in the wild area and decided I should say hi. But you got so freaked by that Dreepy I felt this NEED to help you. To hold you. I honestly had never felt something like that before," Gary said awkwardly, flicking his eyes over to meet mine before looking away again. "I figured it was just because you were so scared, so I decided I should stick around until you were used to Dreepy. But the more I was around you, the more I realized that I found you adorable."

I blinked rapidly at this completely out of left-field comment and I could feel my cheeks heating up like crazy. Gary peeked over at me and my heart flipped in my chest when he gave me the barest hint of a smile. My anger at him from earlier had almost been blown away just by one smile and I inwardly scolded myself for being so fickle.

"Yah, like that. You got embarrassed over the silliest things and you may as well have worn a sign saying that you liked me," I groaned slightly at this and Gary chuckled, but when I looked up at him I realized he looked sad again. "But I was still scared. I didn't know if you were just really innocent and had pure intentions, or if you were hiding a nefarious side like those other girls that just wanted me for my looks or money. So I kept up my wall and you never pushed me to be more than friends, so I thought we could stay like that for the rest of the gym challenge."

I blinked in surprise. On one hand, I was amazed to hear that Gary had been planning to travel with me for so long. But on the other, it was pretty frustrating to hear that Gary had known about my feelings all along and purposefully ignored them. Although with his past experience I could slightly see why he had done that.

"I... didn't realize you were so guarded. I'm sorry," I said after a pause. Gary blinked at me and then let out a self-deprecating scoff.

"You have nothing to apologize for, Sayuri," he said with a grunt and I frowned.

"But I still don't understand why you got so mad a minute ago. What did I do to make you so angry?"

Gary stiffened at my question and my mouth dropped open in shock when a faint blush colored his cheeks. I had never seen Gary lose his composure even for a second and I was flabbergasted as he reached up and slowly rubbed the back of his neck again.

"You... blushed... because of the gym leader," Gary muttered so low I could hardly hear what he was saying. My jaw slackened at this and it took me almost a minute to gather my thoughts as I tried to process the adorably bashful look that Gary was giving me. I had to force myself not to dwell on that though and actually think about what he had just said.

"Hold up... you got upset because I blushed at another guy?!" I asked incredulously and Gary winced, looking away from me in obvious discomfort. "Gary, I blush at everything! I don't handle embarrassment well!" I said incredulously, feeling my traitorous cheeks heating up once again just by thinking about it.

"What did he say to embarrass you?" Gary mumbled and I shook my head in bewilderment.

"He said I was a gifted trainer and then patted my head. I didn't even know how to respond, but there was nothing romantic about it!" I said with a frown but then I blinked and waved my hand in the air. "Hold it. Back up. Are you saying that you got jealous because I blushed at another guy and then you freaked out on me?"

Gary flinched at that accusation and I covered my open mouth in shock as he grimaced over at me. Elation and anger danced inside of me but I forced myself to be stern and glare at him.

"How dare you? What right do you have to get jealous and put me through something as traumatic as forcing a kiss on me when you have NEVER shown any sign that you liked me?"

Gary let out a rumbling sigh and I flinched when she shifted onto his knees and bowed his head to me. I blinked in shock as he stayed there for a while before he slowly looked up and met my eyes with his.

"You're right. I really am sorry, Sayuri. I never meant to make you cry. It's just," Gary looked away for a second looking lost before he turned back and met my eyes again. "I thought he was hitting on you. And I thought you were attracted to him since you were blushing. And for whatever reason, I thought that maybe you just had a thing for older guys and that was why you had acted the way you did around me. The more I thought about it the more I wondered if I had been wrong all along and you didn't actually like me for who I am but just because I was older than you and... well... I let my anger take over. There is no excuse for it. I am so sorry, Sayuri."

I could see the sincerity in Gary's eyes and I was shocked to think that something so normal had actually caused Gary to feel insecure to the point of lashing out like that. But the fact that he had stopped as soon as he realized I was crying and that he had misjudged the situation led me to believe he really was sorry. Plus the fact that he had actually stayed by me to explain and apologize made me feel much more willing to forgive him.

As we sat in silence, both lost in our own thoughts, I slowly looked over at Gary again. I didn't know how it was possible, but now that he had actually shared his past with me and his expression was pinched and worried instead of his usual calm demeanor... I found him even more attractive.

Glancing around me, I could hardly believe how much had happened in less than an hour. Stealing another peek at Gary, I was surprised to see him looking off to the side with a resigned expression, as if he were just waiting for me to say I wouldn't forgive him. Feeling slightly mischievous, I cleared my throat and barely kept myself from grinning when Gary flinched and looked over at me.

"So in summary," I said slowly, "Because of the girls you used to date you didn't trust that anyone would like you for who you were. But you enjoyed spending time with me so you traveled with me and developed feelings for me, Then, when you thought I liked someone else you exploded in a rage of jealousy and tried to snap me out of my older guy fetish by kissing me without my permission. Did I get that right?"

My insides flipped when Gary's cheeks once again colored slightly with a faint blush but he nodded his head awkwardly. I could hardly believe that the guy I had been crushing since I got to Galar actually liked me back. But I was kind of enjoying how meek he was acting with me and figured I should enjoy it while I could. Fixing my face into a stern expression, I folded my arms and glared at him.

"Well, I can assure you that I do NOT have a fetish for older guys," I said with a humph and Gary winced slightly and looked down at the ground. "And there is only one thing I can think of to make me forgive you."

Gary blinked a few times before looking up at me with surprise evident in his expression. I nearly lost my nerve when I saw him looking so adorable, but I mentally shook myself and crawled forward on my knees until I was only a hand span away from Gary. His eyes narrowed in confusion and I bit my bottom lip slightly before forcing myself to say what was on my mind.

"Since you stole a kiss from me, I'll just have to do the same to you."

Gary's eyes widened into the size of silver dollars for a second and I could feel my cheeks heating up in embarrassment. I looked to the side, not believing how bold I had just been. Just as I was about to say I had been kidding though, Gary let out a low chuckle. When I looked at him my entire body tensed at the sultry, yet teasing smolder he was giving me.

"Go ahead," Gary said with a teasing grin that made my cheeks heat up even more. I scowled at him, knowing full well he was trying to get a rise out of me and tried to remain calm. Closing the distance between us so our knees were touching, I slowly raised myself up on my knees and placed a hand on Gary's shoulder. He kept his eyes stubbornly open and I scowled at him, wishing for the millionth time that I didn't blush so easily.

"Would you at least close your eyes?" I muttered, feeling incredibly awkward all of a sudden. Gary grinned wickedly at me though and just cocked an eyebrow up at me.

"Closing my eyes would mean consent. You said you wanted to steal a kiss, so they stay open." I flinched at that and scowled at him, realizing that my plan was quickly backfiring.

I wasn't about to back down now though, so I gripped his shoulder tightly and slipped my other hand behind his neck, pulling him forward slightly before planting a kiss on his lips. Frustratingly, I could feel Gary smile against my lips, and I wondered how a person could be so exasperating and yet so cute.

Deciding that he deserved a little lesson of his own, I nudged his lips apart slightly and bit down on his bottom lip, just a bit. Gary flinched at the bite and I pulled back, smiling contentedly. My entire body froze though when I met Gary's eyes and could almost see flames of desire roiling behind his dark eyes. He leaned forward, chasing after my retreating face and I gulped as he looked deeply into my eyes.

"So, I'm forgiven?" Gary asked, taking his thumb and running it over his bottom lip that I had bitten. I swallowed and shakily nodded.

"D-don't do that again though. There is no way I would like anyone more than you," I stuttered slightly, glancing down as the embarrassing words left my mouth. A tender hand rested under my chin and guided me to look Gary in the face again. He was smiling happily and I was shocked at the open affection in his gaze that I never thought I would see from him.

"Thanks, Sayuri. You're the one I like the most too," he said with a small chuckle. A feeling of euphoria wrapped me up and made me feel like I was floating for a second. Gary's expression soon changed back to his smolder form before though and I couldn't keep from flinching slightly as he leaned closer again.

"Hey, you're finished stealing a kiss from me, right?" Gary asked quietly as his thumb traced my jawline slowly. I blinked and nodded mutely. Gary grinned and I gasped when he reached down, grabbed my waist, and pulled me up onto his lap.

"Time for payback," he said with a sparkle in his eyes before he moved forward and claimed my lips.

This kiss was nothing like the angry, distant kiss from before. Gary kissed me so passionately that our breath was coming out in ragged gasps. Over and over he gently nipped at my lips causing shivers to run through my whole body at the sensation and the feeling of being so wanted. When he finally pulled away I wilted against his shoulder, breathing heavily and gripping his shoulders to keep myself from falling over. Gary let out a raspy chuckle as he held me tightly against him and leaned down to press a kiss to my neck. I shivered at the slightly ticklish sensation and I could feel Gary smiling against my skin.

"Payback for earlier," he whispered against my skin. I fuzzily remembered back in the crowd during Piers' performance when I had knocked into his neck.

"That was an accident," I whispered back, still exhausted and wanting nothing more than to hug Gary for the rest of the day.

"Even so," Gary said before planting a second kiss on my neck and making me squirm. "You'll be my girlfriend, right?"

I blinked and pulled back slightly, surprised to see Gary looking almost hesitant at the question. My lips burst into a smile though and I nodded firmly.

"Obviously," I responded with a huff. "Isn't that the natural course when two people like each other?"

Gary laughed and stroked my cheek with the back of his knuckles.

"That's what I hear. But I've never had a girlfriend so I figured I should check." I blinked my eyes rapidly at that comment and narrowed my eyes slightly at him.

"You really were a playboy," I said accusingly. Gary grimaced but I couldn't keep the smile from my face and I surprised myself by leaning forward and pressing a gentle kiss to his lips.

"Honestly, that makes me really happy to know I'm your first official girlfriend, Gary. Thank you for liking me," I whispered after pulling away from him. Gary's eyes shimmered with tender affection and he pressed a kiss to my forehead.

"Speaking of which," Gary said, leaning back and causing both of us to fall onto the ground. He shifted to the side and I spread my legs out so we were facing each other as he looked me straight in the eyes. "Didn't you mention having a jerk of an ex?"

My throat clenched at this unexpected question and I nervously looked away from his piercing gaze. "That's... not really important," I muttered awkwardly.

"Of course it is," Gary said firmly, prompting me to look over at him again. "I want to know everything about you. So spill."

My heart filled with joy at knowing that Gary sincerely cared about me and wanted to learn more about me. As I slowly opened up to him, I could hardly wait to see what our journey held now that we could go through life together.

Gary Route Happy Ending

A/N Sigh, again that was SUPER long. I'm sorry about that. But what did you think of the ending? Have a great day!
