Pokémon Gladion x Moon - More than a Friend

Part 24

Throughout the next two days Moon got many texts and calls from friends and acquaintances. Moon didn't want to keep on talking about it with people, she wanted to just move on with her life. Just when she thought she was over talking, she got a text from Gladion that said simply "Come over, I'd like to talk." She let her mom know she was leaving and flew to Aether Paradise on Charizard. She was very interested in hearing his side of the story. He was waiting outside when she landed. Without saying anything, he walked up to her and helped her off of Charizard. "Oh... Thanks." she said. Moon's hand still in his, he said "Come. We can talk in my room." This wouldn't be the first time they had a serious talk in his room. They walked in silence through the front of Aether and to his room. As he closed the door to his room Gladion asked bluntly "Moon... do you trust me?" Taken aback, Moon said "Wh-what? Of course!" Gladion, full of doubt, placed his hand on Moon's shoulder like before. Moon instinctually pulled away, as she did she sat on the foot of his bed. "See? I... I want you to trust me Moon." he said as he sat down as well. "N-no it's... it's not that... it's... that was where they d-drugged me..." Moon explained, her eyes starting to water. Gladion looked down, his eyes dark. "That wouldn't matter if you trusted me." he said deeply. "No! I-I do! It's just..." she started. "I know! I... I just want to know you trust me. 'Cause damnit, I would trust you with my life!" Gladion pleaded. Moon's expression turned serious. Without thinking she leaned in to Gladion's ear and whispered "let me show you how much I trust you"
