"Make yourself at home I guess, come out zoroark, silvally and Lyncaroc " , "Zoro, roc,  vally ". " So what do you what to do?" ash asks. "I don't know, do you want to freshen up and change it's like 8" gladion says. " Sure, Pikachu you stay here while I freshen up okay buddy". "Pika!!" "The bathroom is over there" gladion says pointing towards a door. " Okay thanks, I'll be back in ten minutes". ash says as he walks towards it. 

As ash took a shower his thoughts went to gladion, his hair, his emerald eyes, his personality. It hit ash then he didn't just have a crush on gladion he was falling in love. A minute later he started to wonder, what were gladion's nightmares about? The thought for a while before stepping out of the shower to change into some plain light blue pyjamas and leaving the bathroom. When ash stepped out the bathroom he saw gladion petting Lyncaroc, while Umbreon, Pikachu and Silvally playing with each other, while zoroark sat watching. "Hey, Gladion I'm done, you can go" ash said. Gladion nodded then stood up and headed to the bathroom. "Hey are you guys hungry?" ash asked all the pokemon. Pika! Umbre! Vally! Zoro! Lync! " I'll take that as a yes, say here I'll look for some pokemon food" ash said as he looked around the room, when he spotted so cans of pokemon food and bowls. 'There it is' ash thought. Ash grabbed the items and brought them to the pokemon, he sat them in front of everyone and poured food in the. "Eat up!" Ash said kind of loudly.

When gladion came out of the bathroom fifteen minutes later, he saw ash petting and talking to the pokemon. A small smile made it's way on to gladion's face. He thought on how amazing ash was, how he was able to communicate with anyone or any pokemon, no matter what. His determination, his smile, the way he looks at him with those dreamy eyes.. ' snap out of it gladion..... am I falling in love with him?..' gladion thought.' "Hey gladion do you want a sandwich, I packed some when I was packing" ash had asked. " Sure" gladion says as he takes ta sandwich out of ash's hand. 

After everyone was finished eating they realized it was ten so the should go to bed." Wait ash where are you sleeping?" gladion asked as he realized he didn't have as he knew he didn't have an extra bed and he had nothing so ash could sleep on the floor if he wanted to." I'll sleep on the couch, it's fine don't worry. I've fallen asleep on couches before." ash said as Pikachu started to curl up beside Umbreon slowly falling asleep. "Sure then...." Gladion said because he knows ash is stubborn. Ash lied down on the couch and said " Goodnight gladion", "Goodnight ash".

Ash woke up at around 2:00am to noises of loud tossing and turning on a bed. He was a light sleeper but when dreaming he would be out cold. He looked over to Gladion's bed to see him tossing and turning. He was about to go and wake him up when gladion shot up out of bed, which surprised ash. He curled himself into a ball and started to cry silently. he froze when he felt two pairs of arms around but calm down a little when he heard " Shh.. it's okay gladion, it's just a bad dream" Ash spoke softly, he had never heard him speak like that before.

Ash POV

When I saw the fear in Gladion's I knew what happened, he had a nightmare. I saw he curled himself into a ball and softly cried, it broke my heart listening to him so I did the only thing that came to my head. I put my arms around him and spoke softly to let him know who I am "Shh.. it's okay Gladion it was just a bad dream". I rubbed calming circles into his back. He clutched onto my shirt trying to hold back his cries. "Shh..., it's okay, cry all you want" I said. Gladion shook his head and pointed at our pokemon, then it hit me, he didn't want to wake up the pokemon. I remembered there was a forest outside the motel and we could go there so gladion could cry  and not wake up the pokemon. I figured gladion wouldn't want to walk, so I lifted him up and carried him to the forest. He was a little socked when I picked him up and he wrapped his arms and legs around me like a koala. when we got to the forest I sat down legs criss-crossed while gladion sat on my lap still clinging onto me. "Gladion you can cry all you want it's okay no one will hear you were in the forest" I say softly in his ear.
