Cynthia's Pov:

I skipped around smiling to myself.

"Somebody's happy" I heard Y/N call after me. I stood still and made a love heart with my hands. Y/N blushed and scratched the back of his head.

"Maybe that's because I'm with somebody I love, a lot" I smirked, wrapping my arms around Y/N. Everything was just perfect. Y/N leant down and kissed me softly.

"Let's get to Viridian" Y/N smiled, squeezing my hand. I squeezed his hand back and lead the way into Viridian. It was a quiet town, with only the sound of small conversations between the locals. I looked around, trying to find the gym.

"Hey, Y/N?" I turned around.

"Yeah?" Y/N replied.

"Where's the gym? I don't see it" I laughed.

Y/N turned my head slightly and pointed at a small building which looked like a run down bar.

"What. That's it?!" I pouted.

"Cynth. It's only a small town silly. It won't be a fancy building" Y/N smiled, patting my head. I blushed and looked down.

"I guess you're right" I mumbled. I thought back to what happened in the forest. Y/N was always so calm and patient. It's scary when he loses his cool.

"Earth to Cynthia" I heard Y/N say, waving his hand in front of me.

"Oh, sorry just daydreaming again" I looked down.

"What's wrong?" Y/N lifted my chin up with his finger. I blushed wildly.

"It's about what happened in the forest" I said, looking up at Y/N.

"The first or second part" Y/N smirked.

"The first dummy" I felt my cheeks flush at the thought of what happened. Y/N's face darkened.

"It's best you forget about it Cynth" Y/N sighed.

"No!" I shouted. Y/N always surrounded himself in his sadness whenever he was afraid of something. It was like he created his own little world to retreat to. I won't let him do it anymore. Y/N looked over at me, with tears in his eyes.

"There will be more of them because I lost control Cynth. You know that right? The people in the forest" Y/N whispered. "More people who can put you in danger" Y/N looked away.

"Y/N" I smiled as he looked back at me. "It's not your fault, ok? You saved me" I continued, hugging Y/N. I could feel Y/N put his arms around me and sigh.

"I'm sorry" Y/N apologised, pulling away. "Let's go, shall we?" Y/N held out his hand and smiled. I grabbed his hand and ran towards the so-called 'gym'. As we walked into the gym, lights lit up along the walls revealing the main battle arena.

"New challengers, huh?" A voice called out.
