~Age 15~

Today is the day both Raihan and Leon were coming back to Postwick and both younger siblings couldn't be more excited to hear about their adventure, while that was one occasion that was happening another was opening. It was officially the day the younger siblings can venture to the outskirts of the world to join the Challenge of becoming a Champion.

Along with another friend who's moved into Postwick not too long ago, two out of the three were more than ready to pursue their dreams while one was left still wondering if she could bring out the truth.

"We haven't had a BBQ in a while, huh (Y/n)?"

"Yeah..."

Hop smiled at the shy girl holding her hand as they walked to their new friend's house to pick him up for the party at Hop's house. Her dress swayed in the soft breeze that would come now and then getting the young boy's attention. Now that he's thought of it, he's never seen her in pants, shorts yes and sometimes leggings but that was about it. Most of her wardrobe consisted of dresses and doll shoes with bows for her hair.

"I have a question"

(Y/n) glanced at him nodding showing that she was listening, his open hand went to her dress touching the soft fabric, "Why do you always wear a dress? Don't get me wrong you're very cute in them but when was the last time you wore pants?"

"M-My mom... She's always wanted a daughter to dress up... So yeah"

"You're mom still dresses you?"

"N-No! I-I I just... I got used to it so whenever we go shopping I pick out my dresses... Pants just don't feel good for me"

She lets out looking down at the dirt path reaching Victor's house. Hop smiled at her pressing his lips on her cheek getting her attention, "You just haven't found the right pair of pants! You'll see we'll shop together... Wow never thought I'd get excited to go shopping haha"

He laughed scratching the back of his neck, (Y/n) thanked him knocking on the door. Victor's Mom called them in allowing them to enter the house, Hop dragged (Y/n) with him as they greet their friend's mom in the kitchen, "Hi Victor's Mum! Is Victor here?"

Hop waved at the equally happy woman nodding as she pointed at the living room, "He's over at the couch"

"Thanks! VICTOR!!"

(Y/n) flinched at his loud voice clenching his arm, he noticed apologizing for his action, "It's fine... Let's just get Victor"

"You called?"

Victor walked out of the living room greeting his friends. He placed his phone in his pocket smiling at his close friends, he noticed their hands immediately internally laughing at how dense Hop is. He remembered the first time he ran into them and just like before they were holding hands walking up to his house holding a basket filled with food.

That day he honestly thought they were together even being so young, but they denied it saying they were just friends. It didn't convince him really when he watch Hop smother the shy girl in kisses. It was just something that they or Hop did to show his "friendly" affections towards her.

He's made a joke before about marrying (Y/n) once just to see his reaction it was one of those times they weren't together and both boys were up in Victor's room. He will never forget that look he gave him when he said it. The smile he gave him leaked of fighting vibes that Victor knew he shouldn't ever joke about things like that. Even if he or both won't admit they have a thing for each other it was obvious that they care for each other in more ways than just being friends.
