In The Garden( Milo x reader)

Chapter 14: Do I Like Him?

Kabu's POV(thought I'd try something new)

Maybe I should go train in the mines. I thought as I finished setting up the gym for the trainers. I already battled one, that eggplant from Postwick, he was going on about how he'll be the Champion. If he keeps up the attitude, I don't see any reason he won't though I still need to see the battle spirit of the other challengers.

I wonder if those two nuisances from Turffield will come. I smiled slightly to myself, remembering the two kids that shadowed me every time I visited Turffield. The two were joined at the hip though they were polar opposite, I figured one was dragged along by the other when they followed me.

"Hey Kabu!" I looked at the direction of the voice, one of the gym trainers. "Kabu, who's going to catch the fire type pokemon for the challenge?" I thought I decided on that, "Why don't you decide." The trainer held a questioning gaze but shook it away, "Yes sir." And the kid was off.

And we're back to reader POV, 5...4..3 2 1 we're going on a trip in our favorite Blastoise ship

I impatiently knocked on Milo's door, come on Milo don't make me break this dang door down. I knocked again, no answer, that's it I'm giving him a warning first. "MILO IF DON'T GET UP I'M LEAVING YOU!!" He hates letting me walk around big cities alone, afraid I'll get lost or something, he barely lets me walk around Turffield alone.

"Don't leave!! I just woke up." I heard his voice as I heard footsteps rushing to the door. "Okay I'm here, now we can go." I held my hands on my hips, "Yeah I was disappointed I couldn't take your hat to wake you up, so I pulled another sure fire card." I purposefully laced my voice with smugness to tease him.

"I'm glad you weren't able to take my hat, but still you don't have to be so mean about it." He sighed, "I wasn't mean! I was standing there for almost 20 minutes, I then had to use my ways." I retorted, "I suppose your ways consist of scaring me to death?" He mumbled half to himself. "I didn't know that me walking around alone scared you to death, I thought you didn't mind me doing that." I held mock surprise in my words, "You know perfectly well how over eager you get, if I'm not there you'll get lost or kidnapped or-" I cut him off, "But you said you can't always be there with me in the mines." He couldn't make an excuse for this, tell me why it stresses you so much. Instead of shooting something back he fell silent, I wondered if I broke him. Some other visitor was wide eyed, I gave him a confused look. "Lovers quarrel, I get it." I burst red and quickly hurried after Milo, who was still walking.

"Sorry." I mumbled, looking at the multi colored carpet we walked across. "Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything." He said back, how does this guy forgive me so easily? "But I made you worry." He shook his head gently, "It's alright," he placed a hand on my head, "I know you don't ever mean to worry me." He smiled warmly. I smiled back and ran to the elevator, pushing the down button rapidly.

"Don't over press it, you might break the button." He laughed as he took my hand off the button, keeping a firm grip on it. I looked down at our conjoined hands, my hand was like a toddler's compared to his giant one. I then looked at the expression on his face, a gentle smile and joy filled eyes. Shrugging it off, I happily continued holding his hand until the grip was quickly released, "Sorry about that."

( "How cute! Just ask her out story Milo!" Nessa fangirls while I feel a tug in my sleeve , "Can I have the mean Stunfisk now?" Alistar asked, I handed him a toy Stunfisk not trusting him with a real one. I turned around to find Nessa with the pen , "Nessa I swear if you put he asks You out, I'll end You!" Nessa puts the pen back and runs off.)

"You can hold my hand if you want, I don't mind." I closed my eyes and beamed, when I opened them I found Milo frozen in place. The elevator door opened and Milo was still frozen, I grabbed his hand and dragged him into the elevator. This time he got a pink shade on his face, "You good there?" He nodded and looked at the ground embarrassed.

The two of us were met by a bunch of kids, the heathens I have as friends. "Look they're holding hands." Nessa pointed out, I realized that I never let go of his hand when I drug him in the elevator.

"Nessa, I thought you would be jealous." I gave a confused glance, she then came up to me and whispered, "It's obvious you like him and I bet you anything that he likes you." Blood flooded my face and turned my cheeks red, do I like him? It would explain why I feel different around him. "Besides there are other fish in the sea." Nessa pulled away and snickered.

We sat together on the couches and talked, Piers came up to us once the others left, "Did you do it?" He asked Milo, do what? "No I didn't." He was flushed but wasn't stuttering, what the heck are they talking about?!

"Sorry, I can't help being excluded from the conversation. What are you talking about?" I asked the pair, Piers gave Milo a look and looked back to me. "Can't tell you." He said back, that frustrated me,

"Why not?"

"Because I can't, that's why."

"Piers I swear if you're hiding something-"

"(n/n), don't get mad at Piers, we can't tell you at the moment." Milo spoke up.

"Why?" I asked, "I need to decide when I'll tell you." He answered me, I shrugged and got up. "Well I'm gonna get some coffee/tea, be right back." They hummed in response and went back to their bro talk.

( "Can I have coffee? My ghosts would like some." I sigh and shook my head at Alistar. "Oh but why do Raihan and Gordie have coffee?" I gave the Shy Guy boi my pen and stomped off. " I SWEAR YOU TWO DON'T NEED COFFEE AND STOP WASTING THE PODS ON THE KUREGG!! " I shout and pour the coffee on their heads.)

I sipped the warm drink and walked back over, "Hey farmer boy, we need to go soon." I sat next to my friend and leaned against his side slightly. "I can't get up if you're leaning on me." He smiled and lifted me off his shoulder, "I woke up early because you are an early bird, let me have my head rest." I yawned and leaned back on his shoulder, taking another sip of my drink.

"I'm surprised you two aren't dating yet." I heard Piers mumble. "Whatever, I just want to finish my drink in peace and get going." I muttered, closing my eyes.

But seriously, why would Piers say that?

New chapter! Idk what else to say in these lil after bits.

Me: oh crap! *rushes to the kitchen*DON'T MAKE ME KICK YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE!!
