Pokémon Gladion x Moon - More than a Friend

Part 10

His mother? Why would Lusamine call him? Was she finally healthy? Gladion paced back and forth in the front entrance on the phone. Moon couldn't hear, but could tell it was tense. "... okay, bye" Gladion hung up the phone. He walked towards Moon obviously with something on his mind. "What  was that about?" asked Moon. "My mother has made a full recovery and is coming back to Alola soon." said Gladion. "Isn't that a good thing?" Moon questioned. Gladion closed his eyes deep in thought. Moon could tell he wasn't happy with his mother coming home. He opened his eyes and asked her a question. "Do you believe in second chances?" Moon paused. "I just... I don't think I can forgive my mother after what she did." Gladion continued. "You don't have to forgive her, but you should give her another shot. Let her make up for it." Moon answered whole-heartedly. Gladion rested his hand on his chin and said "I think I will." "So, is Lillie coming back too?" Moon asked. He simply responded "Yes." What an exciting day! Later that day Moon called Lillie for a video chat. "Hi Moon!" Lillie yelled ecstatically. "Hey Lillie! So you're coming back to Alola?" Moon asked. "Yeah! I can't wait to be back home! It's been what, 6 months?" Lillie mentioned. "Oh crap it has! That's crazy." reacted Moon."When I get home, we are so doing like, a big sleepover party." said Lillie. "That would be fun!" They talked about some other things. The whole time Moon couldn't stop thinking about her kiss with Gladion. She knew she shouldn't tell Lillie, but still wanted to know her thoughts on it. "Hey, you listening?" Lillie said while knocking on her table to get Moon's attention. "Oh sorry. There's just... something on my mind." Moon answered. "Then tell me! I'm always there for a friend." Lillie said smiling. Moon took a deep inhale before speaking. "So... um... there's this guy I like. And recently we... we um... we kissed. I... I don't know what to think of it. I don't know if he, like, wants to date, or if that was to get it out of his system, or... I-I don't know." Moon rambled. "Whoa whoa whoa, slow down. First off, who is this guy?" Lillie said. Moon started blushing immediately. "I'm not telling!" Moon yelled childishly. "Fine, fine. Whoever it is, just ask. If they went as far as kissing you, they shouldn't feel embarrassed about saying they want to date." Lillie answered. "Thanks Lillie." said Moon. They talked for a while longer until Moon went to bed.
