Insecure - Hop x Reader

You and Hop have been traveling together for a while now to challenge all eight gyms in Galar. The boy you call your rival- as well as best friend- has been acting off ever since the arrival back to the Wild Area to head to Hammerlocke, back when Bede had last challenged him to a battle. It soon hits you how you don't TRULY know much about him, so you decide to investigate the matter, unbeknownst to how you'd react yourself to the raging thoughts that were consuming him whole.

A/N:

This is the first story I write, so don't have high expectations of me. But either way, I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!

Updates could- most likely- come in slow due to me being in school and working often, especially since I want them to be long.

- although, I did the edits.
