~It's Just A Distant Memory: Gladion X Reader~

~Chapter Nine~

~(y/n)'s P.O.V~

This place... Why does it look so familiar? As I squinted, I recognized the place as the motel that we were staying in. Why am I seeing the motel? Did something of significance happen here?

As I looked, in front of me, I saw a blurry image of someone. Now that I think about it... It kind've looks like... Gladion!? He seemed to be saying something. But, what is it? As I looked, very intensely, I saw who I assumed was Gladion say, 'Get out.' It hit me like a brick. Did Gladion... And I... Have a bad relationship? Did he actually hate me? Before anything else could happen, the white light enveloped me, once more. When I wake up, I have some questions for Gladion...

~Gladion's P.O.V~

As I was petting Silvally, I noticed (y/n) wake up. I quickly called Silvally back it his poke ball. "(y/n), did you have any more visions of your memories?" "Yes. And, I have a question for you." "Ask away." "What kind've relationship did we have?" This question puzzled me. "What do you mean?"

"Well... I was able to see a clearer vision of a certain memory. And, it was of us in this motel room. I believe you told me to, 'Get out.'" "Oh..." "Gladion, are we not friends?" (y/n) asked, with a sad look on her face. She looked so betrayed.

I took a deep breath. "At the time, we weren't friends. In fact, I actually despised you. But, after some time, we became friends. I'd actually take time off work, just to visit you. So, yes, we were once not friends. But, before you had your memories blocked, I can easily say that we were really good friends." I internally frowned, at the thought of only being, 'Really good friends.'

"That's good to know. Thanks, Gladion, for your honesty." "You're welcome. You can go back to sleep." "What about you? You need your sleep, too." "I'll be fine." Though, I couldn't help but yawn. For, I hadn't slept in over twenty-four hours. And, even though I won't admit it, I'm pretty tired. "Besides, I need to be able to protect you, from any harm."

"Nonsense! You can't protect anyone, if you don't get enough sleep." (y/n) said, in a motherly-like tone. This reminds me of the old (y/n), and, how she'd care about me, even though I didn't deserve it.

"I'm not taking no for an answer. You're going to bed, now!" I sighed, in defeat. "Fine." (y/n) then got out of the bed, and,helped me into the bed. "I don't-" (y/n) then put the covers over me. "Sleep tight." (y/n) then pecked me, on the forehead, like I was her small child. I turned away, so she couldn't see my blush. I was soon asleep.
