It all seemed to happen so fast. Though both Gladion and Moon were still in shock. But as the shock wore off and the really of their situation set in, they had begun to fume in rage at each other.
You see, they had been out for a walk in the woods. Well, it was more like Gladion going on a walk and Moon inviting herself along. Not that Gladion minded if she came. He actually really enjoyed her company.
Everything started off pleasantly enough. It was a beautiful day and the two teens weren't the only ones out to enjoy it. Pokémon scurried about around them as Moon went on and on about everything that came to mind. Gladion listened to her every word with a pleasant smile on his face.
It seemed almost perfect. Then, without any sort of warning, a powerful Ultra beast came out of nowhere. The crazier creature began attacking everything in sight.
"Look out!" Gladion commanded and tried to push her out of the way. But Moon held her ground.
"No! You get out of the way!" Moon countered as she tried to do the same.
"Moon, move." Gladion demanded.
"No you!" Moon growled.
The shadow of the huge beast suddenly loomed over them and they froze for a moment. They slowly turned towards it, their eyes wide with shock.
Everything seemed to go in slow motion as the Ultra beast formed a beam of energy to fire at them. In a state of panic and fear, the two froze in each other's hold and squeezed their eyes shut tight. Was this going to be the end?
Just as the beam was fired, another powerful move came and collided with it. Which resulted in a strong gust of smoke that nearly knocked the Moon over. Luckily, Gladion was able to keep a hold of her.
"What was that?" Gladion grunted.
Then, as if to answer his question, the Ultra Guardians came to the rescue. They were able to capture the beast and send it back to where it came from.
With everyone safe and sound, Gladion and Moon left the scene without a word. Their minds slowly processing what just happened and what could have happened.
Gladion was more adapt to keeping his feelings in check. Especially when it came to his more negative emotions. But Moon wasn't and she was having trouble not exploding right now. Her balled fists shook at her sides as tears threatened to roll down her cheeks.
"Moon?" Gladion broke the tension filled silence.
Her whole body tensed at the sound of his voice. She didn't want to talk. Moon knew if he started asking questions, she wouldn't be able to hold back anymore. It would most likely result in a shouting match.
"Moon can-" Gladion tried again.
"Why did you dot that!" Moon yelled as whipped around to face him.
She had tears in her eyes and was clearly very angry.
"Me? What about you? I told you to move! You didn't listen!" Gladion barked, also losing his cool.
"Are you kidding me?" Moon growled. "I told you to get out of the way! Why wouldn't you just move?"
"I couldn't do that! You were in danger!" Gladion defended.
"And you think I would just leave you behind?" Moon crossed her arms. "I could never do that!"
"Why? Why couldn't you just listen!" Gladion yelled.
"Because I love you!" Moon cried.
Suddenly everything went quiet between them. The only thing that could be heard were her quiet sobs that were muffled by her hands clasped over her mouth.
"Oh Moon." Gladion pulled her as close as possible as he hugged her.
Moon instantly wrapped her arms around him. She took fistfuls of the black fabric of his hood and buried her face in the side of his chest. In that moment, they just took the time to hold each other.
"I love you too, Moon. That's why I wanted to keep you safe. I don't know what I would do without you." Gladion whispered gently into her ear.
"I don't know what I would do without you either." Moon muttered. "Can we please agree not to do that again?"
"Sure." Gladion smiled lightly. "You want to keep going?"
"Not right now. Let's just stay like this for a bit longer." Moon replied.
"I can do that." Gladion remarked.
So, the two stayed in each other's embrace for a while. They did eventually continue their walk, but made sure it was hand in hand.
THE END!!!
