Pokémon Gladion x Moon - More than a Friend

Part 6

Gladion stopped, realizing that he didn't explain himself. Gladion turned to face Moon, with both her hands in his. "You need to eat. I won't let you starve yourself." He said sternly. He knew. "W-what do you m-mean?" responded Moon, unconvincingly. "Don't play dumb with me. I know you haven't been eating." said Gladion. "H-how do you know?!" asked Moon. "You haven't been ordering food or leaving the house at meal times, and the only food missing from the kitchen is what I've been eating." answered Gladion. "Your... your right. I-I don't have enough for food right now." sighed Moon. "Why didn't you eat the food that's here?!" yelled Gladion. "I... I felt too guilty..." mumbled Moon. Gladion let go of Moon's hands in anger, "You're living here! It's your food now too!" Gladion continued to tell. Calming himself down Gladion closed his eyes and breathed. "I just... I care about you Moon. I don't want you to..." Gladion trailed off. "I had Hoenn style Ramen delivered. Let's eat." said Gladion. They walked together to the Dining Room. "Ngh" Moon grunted. She really was in pain from not eating for 2 days. "Sit Down" directed Gladion. "O-okay. I'm... I'm sorry for scaring you. I'm guessing you've dealt with something else like this before?" Moon said while taking a seat in front of her food. Gladion sat next to her avoiding eye contact, in front of another bowl of Ramen. "My mother... she... underfed me and Lillie as children." he admitted. Moon gasped. "I just... I don't want you to feel the same pain I did." Gladion continued. "I... Thanks for... confronting me about it, Gladion" Moon said. They ate the food that Gladion ordered. Moon was 'glad' Gladion made her to eat. It was the thing that fully convinced her that Gladion was an amazingly caring person.
