I groan slightly as sunlight blinds my eyes, I feel Leon's grip around me tighten as he too moans in protest. I roll my eyes but push my fingers through his messy hair, Leon hums before rolling over. I smirk and slip right out of bed, I creep over to the door only to open it and find my clothes clean and neatly folded in a basket. A small slip of paper on top, "Sorry if I embarrassed you the other day, hopefully last night made up for it." I read out softly. What the fuck? What a sneaky woman.

I let out a soft laugh before folding the paper and taking the basket into my room where I start to pack all my things back into my bag. I slip the paper into one of the pouches before deciding on what I'm going to wear today, I then promptly decide to put my best foot forward and pick out my black sundress with grey flowers. I change my underwear out for my own quickly before pulling on the dress and tossing Leon's jersey over to his pile of clothes. I pull my hair out of it's braid letting the crumpled hair flow free before slipping on a pair of booted heels. I tie a black silk scarf to my neck as I exit out of the room.

I walk out of Leon's room quietly and down the stairs where I slip his mom's underwear into the laundry basket of the bathroom down stairs. Once I feel like I covered everything I make my way to the kitchen where Leon's mother stood cooking breakfast. "You look lovely this morning." She smiles, "I feel lovely too, thanks to you." I snort as I move to her side and help her prepare breakfast. The woman holds nothing back as she laughs, "Thank Aecrus he's good at something other than battling," She teases. "Ah," She sighs with a small sad smile, My own smile drops at her sudden mood change, "You probably think I'm a noisy overbearing mother don't you?" She mumbles.

"Of course not!" I yelp, "Trust me I'm not very bothered by it, My father was noisy and overbearing but he was controlling about it. You however, you do it with good intentions, just as any mother would. It's refreshing." I smile. The woman sends me a bright smile, "Did your mother not try and stop him?" She asks, "My mother was never around, divorced my father. After that three more women came and went, mothers were never something I let myself think of often." I explain softly. "If you ever need someone one, like a mother's or an older woman's advice, you can always come talk to me." She offers with a smile. "I appreciate it," I smile in return, just as our conversation ends the two males of the house come stumbling down the stairs with messy hair and clothes. Both yawning and scratching at their chest, Leon's mother and I exchange looks before laughing.

We serve the two boys breakfast, Leon pressing a sleepy kiss to my cheek when I lean down to set the plate in front of him. I laugh hearing Hop gag at the action, "Is that going to be your reaction when Gloria kisses you?" I muse. Hop's face flushes as he starts to sputter out an argument, only to look to his brother to help, in which said brother smirks and simply holds his hands up in mock surrender. "Traitor," Hop hisses, "All is fair in love and war, dearest." I shot back.

When the boys ate their food their mother and I shoo them up stairs to get ready while we clean up. Just as we were finishing up Hop is dragging Leon out by his arm, saying something about reffing a battle. I can only assume he means between him and Gloria. I smile over to Leon's mom as she fixes herself another cup of coffee, she offers me a cup as well and I take it with a grateful smile.

We take a seat at the table and chat a little longer ignoring all the shouts that come from the yard outside. Eventually Leon comes back in with a bashful smile, "Hey, Hop and Gloria are ready to meet out at the professor's lab," He announces. I nod and finish the rest of my coffee with a long sip, "Just let me get my bag!" I call rushing up the stairs. I grab my bag and hurry back down, Leon stands waiting for me at the back door, I pause just as I pass him mom. I then turn and give the woman a tight hug, "I'll be sure to drag Leon home more often, hopefully you'll be able to spend more time together now that he has me to keep him from getting lost." I grin, the woman smiles tears pricking her eyes. Leon gives his mom a smile before hurrying us out the door.

Leon lets me out first and as I glance up from tightening my bag around my body I spot Hop and Gloria slipping past some gates and into thick woods. "Uh Lee?" I question, the man hums, "What's out that way?" I question. "That's Slumbering Wield, Sonia's grandmother banned everyone from going in there. Says there's some dangerous Pokémon inside." He shrugs, "Well you little brother and his best friend just went charging in!" I warn, "Shit," Leon grunts.

And just like that Leon and I find ourselves running through thick fog looking for his idiot brother and his friend. Leon zapping out Charizard to help look as I zap out Houndoom to see if he can get scent. Houndoom may not be the best tracker Pokémon out there but if he can catch a scent he can track it down. Houndoom eventually found one and howls out direction, "Come Lee, Doom has a scent!" I call. Leon nods taking my hand in his so we don't get separated.

"There they are!" I gasp as the two kids come into sight, "Lee?" Hop yelps, "(y/n)?" Gloria gasps. "What the hell you two!" I scold, "Us? What about you?" Hop chides, "How did you get this far out here Lee? Your pants at directions." Hop snorts. "You can thank Doom for that one." I scoff, "Doom?" Hop questions, and just as he did Houndoom snaps his teeth at the kid. Hop jumps at the aggressive action, "Don't talk to your brother that way, especially since he came to find you when none of us are even supposed to be out here, and the only reason we are is because of you two." I lecture crossing my arms. "But we had to save the Wooloo!" Hop argues, "Wooloo?" I question.

A sudden sound pulls us away from our argument, Houndoom and Charizard sniffing at the supposed lost Wooloo. "Alright we got the Wooloo, now let's get out of here before any of us get hurt," Leon calls, "Lee," I warn, "Right. You should probably lead." He chuckles. "Mmhm," I hum with a smirk.

We all eventually made it out of the woods, Leon turns and looks at the two kids. "Now this time please make sure you get to the professor's lab." He sighs, "I think we should be telling you that." I laugh. Leon gave me a look that was telling me I'm not helping, I held my hands up in mock surrender. "Yeah we got you Lee." Hop sighs with his hands on his head, "Great we'll see you there after we drop off the Wooloo." Leon smiles. "See you guys there!" I call as Leon pushes the Wooloo along to find his herd.
