(Y/N) had always admired Bede. From his confidence to the way he was so determined to win during Pokemon battles. He'd always train so much, he was always working hard, and although he didn't show that he cared about (Y/N), they knew that he cared.
"Your abilities...I almost understand it now."
Bede looked impressed, then seemed to remember something and checked his gucci watch, he seemed to be late for something, as he then rushed away.
The next few times that they'd encounter were awfully strange to (Y/N). Bede seemed to have been acting differently. He was always in a rush to leave, looking away, and sometimes (Y/N) swore that they could see him blushing.
The next week was (Y/N)'s birthday. While all of (Y/N)'s friends appeared at some point for their birthdays, they were happy; but something was missing.
Bede.
(Y/N) hadn't seen Bede in a while. They were worried for him. Was Bede okay?
(Y/N) was strolling through an opening in the forest nearby, when she saw Bede for the first time in a while. He seemed to be holding something in a box, along with a pokeball in his other hand. It looked like he was talking to himself, maybe he was practicing something.
(Y/N) didn't want to interrupt him, so they were going to walk away, but he ended up seeing them on accident. His face became red and he immediately hid what he was holding. (Y/N) walked up to him.
"Hey Bede! I haven't seen you in a while. How are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm doing well, thank you."
Bede looked away and took a few steps back nervously.
"So, what are you holding behind your back?"
Bede looked surprised for almost a moment, but then regained his calm. Mostly.
"Well, I- uhm, I got you some birthday presents, Happy birthday."
He mumbled, shifting his weight to the side, taking another step backward.
He gave the gifts to (Y/N), Almost hesitantly.
One of the gifts was a box, and the other, a pokeball. When (Y/N) opened the box, they found chocolates they seemed to be made by Bede. Considering that it was definitely something that he would do. (Y/N) ate one of the chocolates right then and there, it was absolutely delicious.
"These are really good!"
Bede looked surprised. Almost as if he wasn't expecting that.
"Thank you."
(Y/N) then took the Pokemon out of the Pokemon. It was an Applin. The Applin looked at (Y/N) and jumped up in joy. It was absolutely adorable.
"AWH, you're absolutely adorable, I'll name you..."
(Y/N) looked at Bede and looked back at the tiny Pokemon.
"Pearl, I'll name you Pearl."
The tiny Pokemon circled their trainer in joy. Pearl then proceeded to push Bede toward (Y/N), somewhat knowingly.
Bede seemed to have almost tripped bit luckily, (Y/N) was there to catch him. They were both blushing messes.
Suddenly, Bede kissed (Y/N).
"I've been meaning to tell you this, but I love you, (Y/N)."
"Well, that's good, because I love you too."
Bede kissed (Y/N) again, quickly, smiling against the kiss.
"Happy birthday, (Y/N)."
