Pika's POV
I yawned. It was a late night. Wally was lying in a sleeping bag at the other end of the room, gazing out the window. "Pika?" I sat up from my bed. "Yeah?" "Do you have any plans for tomorrow...?" "Actually, yeah, I do. I plan to hang out with Gladion tomorrow." A look of confusion spread across Wally's face. "Who?" "Oh, heh, sorry, I didn't tell you who Gladion was. He's a good friend of mine. We used to be rivals, too. He's a pretty great Trainer. Quite a few of his Pokemon evolved through friendship, and I really like that. It shows how much he cares about them." "What's he like?" "Well... he may seem a bit cold at first, but he's a really nice person, especially if you get to know him. He's pretty friendly towards the people he considers friends, and he... he's lonely, deep down. He told me that just last night." I suddenly felt distant for a moment. It was weird. "Wow... so, what does he look like?" "He's blond with green eyes, wears a black hoodie, he's skinny... and his hair is impossible to miss. Part of it goes down over one of his eyes, and a little bit of it sticks up..." I felt my face go red as I talked about him. He was just so cute... I can't believe we're going to hang out soon! "He sure sounds... odd." Wally said with a laugh. "He's pretty much my best friend. I can't wait until tomorrow, when we can hang out!" "Can I tag along?" I went stiff. "Uh... s-sorry, I was planning for it to be just us..." "Why?" I nearly choked at his question. What do I say to that?! "B-Because, um... I... just wanted to spend some time with him... alone..." For a moment, all was silent. "Some time alone with him. He's your boyfriend." My heart skipped a beat and my face began to go red at what he had just said. "What?! He's not my b-boyfriend! I spent t-time alone with you, and y-you're not my boyfriend!" "That whole trip into that cave was an accident, not a willing hang out. Besides, you clearly care about him. You said he's a great Trainer, and you also said he was pretty much your best friend." "Best friend and boyfriend are t-two different things!" "And you're stuttering a lot. Also, I can see your blush from here." I blushed even more upon him saying that. Why was he figuring me out so easily?! "Y-Yeah, because you assume h-he's my boyfriend! If someone a-assumed I was your g-girlfriend, you'd blush too, because it's e-embarrassing and awkward!" "I d-doubt anyone would assume you're my g-girlfriend..." he muttered. I looked at him to see that he was blushing. "See?! You're blushing at the thought of someone assuming that!" I felt confidence bubbling up inside of me now that I seemed to have the upper hand. "Well, maybe he's not your boyfriend, but you do like him, do you...?" And my confidence went the way of the Fossil Pokemon at that question. "Of c-course I don't!" I felt guilty about hiding how I felt about Gladion. I did like him. A lot. But he probably didn't like me back. And there was no way in heck I was telling Wally about my crush on him! Wally would probably slip it to someone, and they'd slip it to more people, and before long, all of Alola would know I liked Gladion! I shuddered at the thought. Wally was silent, and he closed his eyes, clearly about to go to sleep. I laid down and pulled my blankets up, staring at the ceiling. But I couldn't sleep. I couldn't get Gladion out of my mind, and my face was burning with a blush. The more I thought about him, the more I blushed. And when I imagined him looking at me with his sharp eyes focused on me, my blush got so hot that my body began to grow hot as well. I tossed my blankets off of me and opened the window more before collapsing back down in bed. I felt like Wally had interrogated me. 'Just go to sleep. You'll be fine, and besides, tomorrow's gonna be a fun day.' I thought. Yeah, it was. A while alone with Gladion, just him and me, no company, going anywhere we'd like and enjoying ourselves... it was like a date. If it was even possible, I blushed even more. Was I going on an unofficial date with him?! I mean, I know that I had said 'consider it a date', but that had just slipped out of my mouth. Now I was really thinking about it. Wait, he had asked me if I'd hang out with him, so did that mean he wanted to date me?! I know I'm crazy for wondering that, but... maybe I should ask him if he likes me. Then I'd know one way or another. But what if it ruined our friendship? I'd rather be a friend who secretly has a crush on him than a former friend who told him her feelings for him. I don't want to lose Gladion. He's too important to me. Too precious of a friend. I don't know if I should tell him how I feel or not. I just... don't know.
