(Postwickshipping Prompt Week 2020 : Day 3+4 Realization / Confession)

This is my first fan-fiction writing. It was supposed to be a short comic, but with these tight schedule things, and my regular office work makes me too much busy to do that. And English is not my language, so if there is anything weird, I'm very sorry. I'll try to improve if I have a chance to do another fan-fiction.

[Post-game/They were like 14-15 in my HC and this kinda around 16-17 years old.]

--------------------------------

It has been a couple years since Gloria has become a Champion of Galar region. She has quite tight schedule since then, so she has to move to live in Wyndon, and rarely go back to her home in Postwick. Hop is still an assistant for Sonia, they don't have so much time to spend together like they used to anymore, and Gloria knows all too well about the responsibilities that came after she got the title, but it can't help that she still feels sad about it.

Luckily that she has some days off, enough for her to went back to Postwick. And with that, she spent most of the days with her best friend. They go every inch in their hometown, eat dinner/lunch together at Hop's or Her's, camping at Slumbering Weald and let Zacian and Zamazenta out from their Pokéballs to catch up.

Gloria loves every moments she has spent with Hop, her number 1 rival, but reality comes too soon....

Last day before Gloria has to go back to Wyndon, with her luggages at her side, right now she's at the Wedgehurst train station, last train of that day. 15 minutes before departure.

"Are you sure you don't forget anything?" Hop ask, he come to the station with Gloria to see her out. They are stand in front of the ticket gates.

"My backpack, here. My luggages, right here. My ticket, also here in my hand. I'm pretty sure I don't forget anything." She is looking aroud to check her belongings, and turns to face Hop with a smile on her face.

"Well, If you say so." He smiles back. And they just stand there, not a single word out of their mouths. They know that after this day, they might not have a chance to see each other for a while, for months, or for years. And with that, Gloria feels hurt. She doesn't want to go, it shows on her face, and Hop sees that.

"If you don't mind, call me when you arrived at your apartment, 'kay?" Gloria looks at the man before her, snap back to her smily face.

"Okay, thanks"

'When did hop grow this much' Gloria thought to herself. Her childhood friend, Hop, he has grown up, much taller than before. His face that once round and his cheeks were kind of chubby, now is sharp and, she got to admit, handsome. He kind of look-alike Leon, his own brother and former Champion, but with the smile that can stop her from breathing.

It's been a while since Gloria knows that, (Even though she tried to deny it for years.) She has been in love with Hop. Ever since that last battle at the Slumbering Weald, she started to fall for her friend. But with all these 'Champion's things' she has to do, made her don't get a chance to tell, to confess her feelings. But what is the point anyway? If she confesses to Hop, and what? They can't be together. It's going to be 'Leon situation' all over again for Hop. He's going to be sad, hurt, and Gloria doesn't want that to happen to her loved one.

"... Glo, are you alright?" Hop voice brings her back to reality.

"Oh! Um, I'm fine. It's nothing. I just.... wish that I can stay a bit longer. You know, Postwick is my home after all." She smiles, sad smile.

"Hey, you are a terrible liar Glo. If there is something that bothering you, you can tell me. I won't laugh." He said in jokingly tone, and it makes Gloria laugh.

"Stop that, I said I'm fine. You should worry about your own projects. Next time I see you again, you better become a Professor, or I'll mad."

"Alright, alright! I'll try. Can't promise though, Sonia-- I mean, 'Professor Sonia' won't be much of a problem, but Professor Magnolia is another story." Hop's scratching his back of the head, a bit worried when mentioning Prof.Magnolia. Gloria can't help but giggle.

"I know you can do it Hop. You are my best rival. You are capable of doing anything, trust me." She playfully punches on Hop's shoulder.

"Hey! Haha! Thanks, Glo" Hop smile so wide that it makes Gloria's heart skips.

'I love this boy so much', She thought, and that makes her feels sad again. She looks away from Hop, and they both just stand there in silence. Getting more awkward, Gloria looks at the clock on her Rotom phone. 5 minutes before her train to depart.

"Looks like I have to go." A bit upset, Gloria looks at her friend again. He doesn't respond, avoiding eye contact, like he is thinking about something else, and that makes this situation much more awkward.

There was a thought that popped up in Gloria's mind, maybe he, too, doesn't want to let her go. Should she confess her feelings, right here, right now? Or she shouldn't? She doesn't know. This is hurt her feeling even more. If she confesses, will he think that same? If not, will Hop still be her friend? She thinks too much that her hands start to shaking uncontrollably, she knows that Hop would notice, but tries to hide anyway.

'I won't... I won't tell him then... That's for the best.' Gloria thought that, she look at Hop with a fake wide smile, trying to be normal as much as she can, she doesn't want Hop to be worried.

".... I'll call you when I reached Wyndon, so.... see you."

"... Alright,.... See you, Gloria"

Hop finally answered. He doesn't smile, Gloria started to worry but immediately shakes that thought out of her mind. She turns around and walks inside the ticket gates. Gloria stops walking just behind the gates, turn her face around again, just to see her friend one last time, Hop is still standing there, watching her go.

Gloria smiles at him, and when she turns back to go to the train.....

.

.

.

"Hey Glo! You forget something!"

Hop shouts, made Gloria jumps and immediately sprinting back at the gates.

"What?? What did I forget?? I thought I checked everything-----"

With the gate's door that separate them both, but Hop doesn't care. He walked to stand at the opposite side of Gloria's, and within range,..... He kisses her.

Eyes wide in shocked, and her body is frozen still. Hop, is kissing her, right now. This is too good to be true for her, so she doesn't return the kiss. But right now, her heart is skipping too fast that she can die. She wants this for so long and never thought that it is going to happen, so even people are watching them, she won't care anymore.

They break a kiss a while after. Gloria, who still in shock, looks her best friend, that his hands are caressing her face, her cheeks, and smiling.

"I'll be waiting for you, 'kay?"

With that soft and tender voice, Gloria's happy tears flowing down her cheeks.

"...I know. " With that said, both of them are happy laughing, and with one last touch of their forehead, and Hop wiped out Gloria's tears, they step away from each other.

Gloria has to run to get on the train. When she reached her reserved sleeper car, the train is starting to depart. She looks outside the window, Hop still stands there, looking at her until the train goes too far to see. She supposes to feels sad every time they are separated, but now, she knows in her heart, that there is someone, who is waiting for her, who is someone she can go back to.

Postwick is her home, but it much more precious now, that she has someone she loves, and loves her back, and she knows that no matter what, will be waiting for her.

Under the cut, as usual!

--------

“—It looks like our Champion will still keep her spot this season!”

 Inside the Wedgehurst laboratory, the telly blared Gloria’s match as Hop ignored the piles of notes about Pokémon habitats. He focused onto the screen to see her wave at the camera with a smile.

 “Fifth year in a row,” Sonia commented, approaching Hop with two cups of tea. “Gloria’s unstoppable.”

 He dreamily smiled back at the telly. “Yeah, she is.” He didn’t notice the professor handing him a cup until he felt it touch his cheek. Immediately, he snapped back to reality. “Ack, Prof, that’s hot!”

 Sonia snickered. “I don’t mind you taking a break from work, but you looking at the screen as if you want to teleport to Wyndon seems a tad corcerning.” She finally placed the cup on the desk. “Aren’t you going to see her today?”

 He was supposed to, like he always did every end of the Gym Challenge season, but— “I do have a deadline this week, and Professor Birch wanted me to submit—”

 “Ah, ah,” she interrupted him, “you’re almost done anyway. I’ll deal with Professor Birch when he calls; you go to Wyndon now and take Gloria on a date.”

 “D-date?!”

 “I got some coupons for Bob’s, or if you want something fancier, I can do some reservations for Captain’s Table—”

 Red-faced, Hop stood up. “F-fine, I’ll leave now!” He couldn’t handle the fact that Sonia could easily think of date ideas when he couldn’t even get the courage to ask Gloria. Well, he was trying to. It had been three years, at least.

 “Oh, sorry, Hop. They just scheduled an interview today, and I can’t say no.”

“—ah, yeah, s-sure, I can give an interview—”

“W-what, another exhibition match?!”

 Yeah, just as busy as Lee before. Well, he’s still busy at the Battle Tower these days…

 He proceeded to remove his laboratory coat and fetch his phone. “I should send her a text first.”

 Sonia sipped her tea slowly. “Ever heard of an element of surprise, Hop?”

 “But she might have other things to attend to!”

 “Hold that thought.” The professor had taken her own phone, which was already dialing. When they heard someone pick up, she went, “Oh, hey, Leon, mind giving me a favor? Since you’re in charge of the Cup and all, could you reschedule poor Gloria's appointments—oh, is she? Why, that's swell! Thank you kindly!”

 "What did Lee say?"

 "For some reason, she’s all free today.” Her smirk returned, but she had a playful glint in her turquoise eyes. “Now, no dilly-dallying! Only one chance to ask her out!”

--------

“Hop!” Gloria ran towards him with a grin as they met outside the Wyndon Stadium. Luckily, when he arrived, most of the people have already left. “I didn’t know you were coming!”

 “Surprise!” he greeted, chuckling. “I can’t miss the Champion’s Cup for the world.”

 “Boo,” she replied after she blew a raspberry, “you technically missed my match, but better late than never!” She then noticed his attire. “All geared up today?”

 Since working as Sonia’s assistant, Hop had been wearing polos and long coats to fit the aesthetic. Today, with Galar in the cooler seasons, he was donning a cyan duffle coat closed up with a wool scarf. “Aren’t you cold in that champion’s uniform?”

 “Erm, a little. Good thing I have this cape and—” Gloria was cut off by Hop putting his scarf around her. “—t-thanks.”

 Hop wasn’t able to dismiss the slight blush on her cheeks, but thought it could’ve been from the temperature. I should take her somewhere indoors. “Um, have you eaten?”

 “No. Usually the organization provide food after the exhibition matches, but I was strangely given the day off today.”

 Only one chance.

 “Gloria…”

 She glanced up at him, her brown eyes soft and inviting. “Yeah?”

 That was all it took for him to stutter a bit. “U-um, I got us coupons for Bob’s, t-that is, if you want somewhere cozy—or we could go to Hulbu—”

 “I would love to.”

 Huh?

 “But, you know, I kind of don’t want to be in public right now.” She snuggled closer to the scarf, looking shy. “I need a breather, so why not we go to the Wild Area and camp out? There’s a part there with good weather.”

 Well, that could work.

--------

Hop observed Gloria mixing the curry as he fanned the fire. Even after five years as Champion, she still wanted to be outdoors like where they were in the old days. He couldn’t blame her, though; everywhere she went, the public would watch her every move. She still wasn’t used to the popularity brought by her title.

 “I think it’s ready now.” She then summoned her Inteleon to help set the picnic mat. Her other Pokémon bustled around to help them.

 Today’s menu was Sweet Decorative Curry, meticulously arranged by both trainers, with Hop’s Pikachu and Eevee awfully lopsided. “I’ll eat that, don’t worry,” she commented while giggling. “You’re bad at plating, but the taste still matters.”

 They started eating in silence across each other, until she said, “This is…nice. You and me camping out, with only our dreams and hopes ahead of us. No responsibilities. Just like old times.”

 Just like old times. Will we ever have that?

 Without even realizing it, Hop’s fingers were onto Gloria’s fringe, tucking it in place behind her ears. “Would…would you want the old times again?”

 She stared at him, fazed.

 “Or, would you want…to experience new things with me?”

 This is it. “Y-you mean—?” He only responded with a soft smile.

 Gloria merely leaned to his hand on her face. “I would love that.”

Prompt Day 3: Sudden Realization/ Slow Realization You thought I have a drawing, but voila, a drabble! Polishing my writing skills for a bit, but seems to be a bad time because my brain is mush from graveyard shift. Story under the cut~

-------- 

 Gloria was still fidgeting in her seat inside the flying taxi, her Rotom phone on her hands. Hop’s last call may have sounded reassuring; but facing a legendary Pokémon, and an enraged one at that, by yourself was definitely something to be worried about. She had recalled her earlier standoff against Zacian, the one with Hop now, and its power wasn’t to be underestimated.

“Gloria, are you OK?” she barely heard Sonia ask.

The reigning champion had been trying to maintain her composure this whole chase. Yes, she wanted to stop the brothers from wreaking havoc over Galar, but seeing Hop so…reckless about the situation suddenly made her fret for his safety. All the more when she had remembered before all of this had occurred, he had been pensive on the events of the Champions’ Cup. He was not himself lately. Of course I should be concerned for him, she thought. He’s not just my rival; he’s my best friend.

“—ria! Gloria!” Sonia waved her hand across Gloria’s face to get her attention, and sighed in relief when she finally looked up. “Good gracious, I can’t worry for the two of you at the same time.” Noticing the young girl’s tense hold on her phone, the professor smiled. “I’m sure Hop is on it like a car bonnet. He’s just as strong as you are, and you know that of all people.”

Sonia had a point. Also, Gloria was sure that Zamazenta, the other Hero that she just caught minutes ago, had total faith in Hop for restoring order for its sibling. Still, she couldn’t shake off this feeling of dread.

--------

Both Sonia and Gloria rushed towards the heart of the Slumbering Weald after getting off the taxi, wishing they would make it in time before anything worse could happen. Hop, please be all right, the Champion fervently prayed. Please—

Suddenly, memories of their encounters today flashed in her head.

“Really, you’re amazing, Gloria. So amazing, maybe, that I don’t even realize just how amazing you really are!”

But you are, too! she had wanted to answer him, but she was astounded by everything he had revealed to her at that moment.

“I didn’t expect there to be such a gap between you and me, mate.”

Then there was no need for one! The League may have given the title to me, but I had never thought of that separating us, Hop!

Was that what bothered him?

“Hop!” Sonia’s cry broke Gloria from her thoughts. There was Hop right in front of the worn-down shrine, gently stroking Zacian’s mane. The boy looked a fright, probably from running around Galar and having to handle the raging Pokémon alone. However, it seemed that it had finally calmed down.

“See!” Hop flashed a grin at Zacian. “I knew you could do it, champ!”

The sight of her best friend still in one piece and successful at a feat without even having to use his Pokémon brought Gloria relief—and another feeling she couldn’t explain. “Hop!”

He whirled to see the two girls come closer. “You two made—” He wasn’t able to finish his sentence when Gloria suddenly hugged him. “G-Gloria?!”

“Don’t rush off like that again!” she berated. “I don’t want to see you hurt!”

She felt Hop hesitate a bit, then returned the gesture with his arms around her shoulders. “I’m fine, see?” He had to reluctantly let go to show himself to her. “No harm done.”

“Hmm, Zacian seems to be happy now,” Sonia stated, obviously shifting her direction at the legendary Hero from their scene.

“Yeah, it does, doesn’t it? Though I can tell you, things were looking pretty dire here at first!” Zacian then responded with a proud bark. Avoiding Gloria’s worried stare, he turned to the Pokémon. “Wait, really?! Are you saying I’m…worthy?”

“Worthy of what?”

“I think…Zacian wanted me to be its trainer! Is it…is it really OK?”

Zacian nudged into his pockets as if trying to point to his other Pokéballs. Understanding the Pokémon’s answer, Hop reached for one unused Ball, to which the Hero touched with its snout. The familiar light enveloped its body and entered the Ball, securing its capture.

Gloria gaped in admiration. Having to prove yourself in front of the Heroes was no easy feat: she had done so prior today by battling Zamazenta. However, Hop had only showed his determination and compassion for Pokémon, and Zacian had given him its trust.

Hop had never been more commendable in Gloria’s eyes.

“You two really are something!” Sonia exclaimed.

“I…” He stared at the Pokéball in disbelief. “I still don’t quite see anything like that in myself yet…”

You still don’t? After all of this?

“…but thanks to your help,” He grinned widely, this time at her, “I’m starting to!”

Gloria smiled. That’s much better.
