Bede x reader Shorts Stories

1st Story : First love

Y/n's pov:

It's been over 3 years that I am the Champion of Galar. I was and still am holding on my title even if the challengers and gym-leaders become stronger and stronger every year. But in the end I keep winning after all those years, I don't even remember losing a battle before. All that strength in Pokemon battle annoy some people and the medias wonder if my "reign" will be as long as Leon's or maybe even longer. After all these years I learned to know more about the gym-leaders that are now like a little family to me, expect for one.

Bede, the fairy gym-leader. I don't know why but after all this time he still doesn't seem to care a bit. Every time I'm around him I feel like his stare is gonna eat me up. He doesn't come to talk to me,even a bit, but I feel his stare. It scared me at first but I kinda got use to it. I still tried to talk to him about it, but his answer didn't really help me understand. "Please.. please, don't tell me YOU think that I might be looking at you for something other than finding a way to beat you. You're so pathetic.." was his answer. It was kinda suspicious. It seems like he's hiding something but I can't find what. He's so arrogant and strong and I can't lie by saying that his beauty never affected me. But before anything now I wanna know what is going on inside his head.

Bede's pov:

It's been now 3 years since I became the fairy gym-leader of Galar. I became stronger, more than I would have been if I kept running after wishing stars for the one I used to call my family. Lady Opal's training to bear fruit despite the many quizzes I have to endure every day. But even if I grew stronger, there is still one person against who I keep being defeated, and this person is Y/n. Since our first battle I always knew they were strong but I never thought they'll keep being stronger than me. That's something..something that fascinates me about them, as much as it annoyed me.
I keep searching for a way to be the one defeating them, all the time. Which makes me think about them 24/7.

I tried to learn things about them to help me find a way to get out of this but it actually made things worst.. After thinking about them I realised I was now..fantasizing about them. I realized that not only their strength was fascinating me but also their beauty and the way they're always being so kind and helpful with people,even when they don't know them. I even surprised me looking at them at event or other situations where we were both invited. And the worst is that they actually noticed it. And when they confronted me about it I said they were pathetic. But in the end I think I am the one who's being pathetic and it's driving me crazy. Maybe I should be more honest with them and try to have a real conversation with them, more than just formalities. Yes maybe I should give this whole thing a try.

Y/n's pov:

This morning, I was surprised to see I got a text from Bede asking me if we could meet at a coffee shop in Hammerlocke at 3pm. It was weird coming from him but I couldn't stop smiling. I was actually happy he was trying to have contacts with me but I still told Hop and Marnie,my best friends, about it. They looked as puzzled as me and as always Hop was being a bit too overprotective saying that if this Wooloo head meanie (Bede) tries to do or say anything wrong to me , He'll have to protect his back. His reaction made me laugh but I told him not to worry before starting to get ready for my today's chores as the Champion.

Bede's pov:

It was already 3'o'clock. I was sitting in the coffee shop were me and Y/n were supposed to meet. I told Lady Opal I had an important meeting this afternoon and so I wouldn't be able to be at the arena but I don't think she actually believed in what I've said. She grinned at me with a weird expression on her face wishing me a good afternoon. But believed me or not I couldn't care less at this point. I just wanted to see Y/n.
