Golden Time | Gold x Reader [Pokémon]

|| Chapter 26 ||

Neither of you uttered a word.

The whole panting had ceased and there was no longer anything that made any sound; it was absolutely silent for a moment, until Gold was the first one to break it with a soft chuckle escaping his mouth.

"Oh man, that was really hot! I thought i was gonna faint!" Gold laughed it off - his face still red - and you were honestly surprised that he said that aloud, embarrassed as well, since you actually felt the same way, but he was bold enough to state it; "D-Don't say it!"

Despite the whole thing being a bit embarrassing while the two of you laughed a while longer, you were relieved. Gold was always capable of getting rid of the awkward atmosphere and always make you smile.

"Anyways angel, i'd like to say that i wan't to take you somewhere, but i think you'll have to be the one taking us both there~." Gold hummed once he got comfortable in his wheelchair again. You brushed a few strands of your own hair out of your face - since you hadn't tied your hair ever since you exited the hot springs - and stood up from the couch.

"The lighthouse, right?" You asked just to be sure once you had already started leading the male outside the rather luxurious hotel you were staying at. "You're still good at reading my mind~." The male said smiling to himself, you countering that it wasn't 'reading into peoples minds' but just paying attention.

The Glitter Lighthouse which Gold is so keen on visiting is in the more south-eastern part of Olivine city, but it shouldn't take you too long to get there even by foot.

The streets were pretty much empty, there were no cars or other vehicles to be seen either, not even seagulls or other animals disrupted this peaceful setting. The only things that were to be heard, were the sounds of the waves. A slightly salty smell was in the air, obviously it was coming from the sea - since you walked on the seafront.

"We're almost there, look." You said, pointing forward with your index finger after you had seen a ray of light - the one that was sent off at the Glitter Lighthouse. And just a few minutes after that, you soon stood in front of the high building.

"Do you think we can still get inside? It's pretty late." Gold asked, but you had already walked to the door and entered the building. The door was probably the only thing that hasn't been made more modernly - since it wasn't automatic. Throughout the years, the owners of the lighthouse had added an elevator, so that it would be easier for the elderly to get on the highest floor.

"Don't worry, no one's probably here, but Ms. Mikan usually never locks up the lighthouse unless there's a criminal wandering around freely in the city." You explained and proceeded to walk to the elevator, careful not to stumble anywhere since you were guiding Gold and since the room wasn't illuminated on this floor. Just like you had predicted, no one seemed to be around.

"Ms. Mikan?" Gold looked at you a bit curiously while you pressed the '5' and watched as the elevator doors closed themselves. Thankfully, there was a light in the elevator, that made things a lot more comfortable for you, not to mention that Gold took a grasp of your hand and intertwined fingers with yours, causing your cheeks to redden despite the little scenario earlier.

"Ms. Mikan is Jasmine's Mom, and also the owner of the Glitter lighthouse." You explained. Gold nodded and gave your hand a soft squeeze, somehow making you feel satisfied for some reason, or maybe it was a feeling of reassurance, that he was here alongside you.
