Unity

Chapter 12

Gloria was drying off her hair with a soft towel. She was at hotel Ionia in the ice cold town of Circhester. She went out with Hop to eat some dinner at Bob's your uncle tonight. Afterwards they did a bit of sightseeing, until a terrible hailstorm arrived. It was still too dangerous to leave town, so they decided to spend the night here. Only problem was, the hotel was completely booked except for one room. Of course they didn't mind sharing a room together, the two of them often held sleepovers! Gloria neatly put the towel away and slipped into her soft and comfortable pajama dress.
She opened the bathroom door and closed behind her. Hop was sitting in front of the TV, watching it closely with his back leaning against the twin sized bed the two friends had to share tonight. Gloria started to blush and gulped. She sat down on the edge of the bed and glanced away. She had to remain cool! They often shared a bed together, why was she so nervous now?

"Are you feeling okay mate?" Hop suddenly asked her as he stood up.

He hovered his body over hears and suddenly placed his cold hand atop of Gloria's forehead. The young girl turned even redder and crawled backwards a little from the shock. She wanted to respond, but somehow she couldn't manage to get a single word out of her mouth.

"Hmm no fever..." He mumbled to himself.

He suddenly started to smirk and started to sit on the bed too, sitting straight next to his best friend. Gloria moved her feet atop of the bed too, crawling backwards on all fours this time to create some distance between them. Hop laughed out loud and got even closer to her than before.

"W-what's so funny?" Gloria shyly muffled at him as she hid her face underneath the collar of her dress.

Hop smirked and sat down on his knees in front of her. He put both his hands in the air, stretching out his fingers. Gloria's eyes widened. He often did this when she was feeling a bit down.

"Hop, for the love of Arceus if you-"

The young champion cut off her sentence with a soft pitched shriek. Hop placed his hands atop of her waist and started to tickle her. Gloria started to struggle, trying to push him away. She was doing her best to keep in her laughter, but she was failing miserably.

"H-Hop!" She laughed out his name as she tried kicking him away now.

"You're quite putting on a fight aren't ya mate?" He teased her.

Hop pulled back one of his hands as he started to hover above her. He but his knees next to her hips so she couldn't kick him anymore. Quickly snatched both of her hands with his free hand and held them above of her head pressed down on the bed.

"S... Stop!" Gloria laughed as she tried kicking him once again.

Hop nearly lost balance, so he moved up his body. He grabbed one of her knees that was lifted up. The purple haired boys hand slipped down underneath her dress suddenly, he was touching her actual hips now. Hop and Gloria both froze in shock.
Both of their cheeks turned red immediately at the realization of what just happened. Looked down and saw that Gloria's dress was pulled up to her waist now. He could feel his heart beating in his chest. She had a small waist and a visible sixpack back from her training at the isle of armor back than. Her hipbones were sticking out a little bit, her pink underwear covering them from halfway up. Hop immediately jumped away.

"I, uh, I..." He stammered nervously as he scratched the back of his head while asserting his eyes towards the side.

Gloria pulled her dress back down and jumped towards the head of the bed. She covered her head underneath the blankets in shame. She could feel her heart bouncing in her ears. Did he really just see her underwear? Why did he kept staring at it? It was an accident, wasn't it?
