POKEBOYS X READER (REQUESTS OPEN NOW 2020!) still working on it

•hugh x blind!reader

hi! this is a requested hugh x blind! reader. i'm gonna set it BEFORE the events of BW2. thank you for requesting, i LOVED writing this @tofumaple ❤️

•••

i was born blind. there's no special story on how i was in a tragic accident as a child, it's just the way i was born. my visual impairment often makes me feel
weak and useless, but sometimes i get a rush of hope.

that's because of him.

my childhood best friend, Hugh. the boy that's helped me through everything, most people who come across Hugh see him as a loud mouthed hothead, who always gives a piece of his mind and let's his emotions overtake him, i see him as so much more, Hugh is my saviour.

i know deep down, under all his grittiness, Hugh is much more, Hugh is the kindest and most caring soul to ever walk the earth.

"hey, Y/N?" i heard next to me.

we were both sat in our usual spot. our kingdom. it was actually just a grassy hill, but Hugh described it as the most scenic in Aspertia City, i highly doubted his modest statement.

"do you know what starter type you're going to pick?" he continued

i sighed, "i don't know... look... Hugh, i need to be straight. if i'm being honest i don't even think this whole pokemon journey thing is right for me."

he dramatically gasped, as if he literally had a dagger impales on his back , "are you serious? come ON!don't you dare say that now... don't you know how long we've wanted to do this for? to get out of this city and reach our goals. for my sister, for your champion title." Hugh ranted

"Hugh." i bluntly replied, no hint of emotion in my voice, just pure facts " please...don't be silly. my goal isn't even mildly realistic... let's face the cold truth...i cant become the champion, no matter how hard i try... it's impossible."

we both fell silent, i assumed Hugh was thinking of something monumental to say as i shredded his optimism right in front of him

ever since we were younger, in fact, ever since we met, we've both aspired to become strong pokemon trainers. at first we wanted to become the first co-champions of the Unova region, however Hugh deterred from that ever since his younger sister's Purrloin was kidnapped, Hugh stopped thinking about becoming champion and began plotting his revenge.

"Y/N..." Hugh softly whispered, then cleared his throat "y-you're right. i mean the chances of you becoming champion are extremely slim. you will have to come across tons of obstacles, probably everyday and on top of that there'll be tough competition out there. you're at a natural heavy disadvantage as well, compared to every other previous champion."

it stang slightly to hear it from him, but it was good to know he was on the same page as me

"exactly..." i murmured in agreement, then pursed my lips, "...it was a stupid idea... i don't know what i was thinking..."

"you didn't let me finish." i felt something touch my hand, that was resting on the grass. "everyone has disadvantages... one way or another. everyone has goals. everyone has obstacles. everyone has rivals... even my dream is unrealistic." he stopped for a moment and giggled to himself, "i mean, me. after five years being able to take back what was stolen from my dear sister... it's too ambitious."

i felt a knot in my stomach, "Hugh, d-don't say that..."

"Y/N... you didn't let me finish." he repeated, his tone stern, "listen to me, Y/N. i don't care about what's thrown at me, i don't care how hard everything becomes. you can rise past every challenge and so can i. no matter how big." he paused again, his breath becoming heavy, "do you want to know why?" his tone all of a sudden sounded anxious, which was rare for Hugh.

"Hugh... are you okay?" Hugh opened up to me, but it'd been a while since we've had such a deep
conversation, he wasn't one for going off on tangents. he normally spoke from his head.

"the reason is..." he took in one last deep breath, "even if everyone had some sort of advantage... not everyone is us... not everyone has our...b-bond. we're the only ones in this whole region who can proudly say we wake up every morning rushing to see each other, were the ones who can't bare to leave eachother's side. if you went away, a part of me would also leave..." his voice began cracking up

breathtaking, was an understatement. i couldn't say anything, i could only turn my hand over for the warm hand that'd been circling my knuckles for a few minutes.

i grasped onto it, feeling the slight dampness of what i presumed sweat, but i didn't care at all.

"H-Hugh..." i clenched it tightly, thinking of the right thing to say, something to top that.

"Y/N, i've cherished supporting you up to this point... don't even think i won't carry on helping you further." his voice lowered an octave, back to the serious and commanding tone i always adored

i felt the corners of my mouth force upwards and the millions of Butterfree in my stomach were dancing. "i'm so lucky... i'm so lucky to have you, i wish i could... i've always just wished i could see y-"

"shut up." he cut me off, crushing my hand, "Y/N, don't finish that sentence. i wouldn't change anything for the world... i don't want it any other way, i don't care for any other scenario."

his grasp loosened at his last words, making my throat tighten

"i-..." i began to object, about to speak out what i've been thinking my whole life, how i wish i was just normal, how i'm sorry he's had to deal with me and my major faults. for some reason i couldn't, "thank you." i discarded those thoughts that consumed my mind for so long

"no..." Hugh sniffed from next to me, "...thank you... Y/N, up until this point i've been wondering what to do with my life... but now i know..."

he let go of my hand and i felt a strong aura consume me as a warm arm gently wrapped around my shoulder, "...my life is you and what we're going to achieve..."

i nodded in agreement. this is what i've always wanted deep down.

"Y/N... i-i l..." i felt his body shudder, "i love you." he blurted out

"i love you too, Hugh." i simply said. even though i couldn't see it i could sense the normal smug smile he always had, wiped across his face, the one everyone spoke about, that i couldn't see.

"now answer my question." he murmured quietly, i giggled playfully at his command, "which starter type are you picking?"
