Leon's explanation for why he's taking Hop's friend up to his childhood bedroom is that she doesn't have nearly the knowledge of Pokemon that Hop does, and that he has a lot of books and magazines she might want to look through. Hop one hundred percent believes this and even agrees not to bother them, going to his own room while Gloria follows Leon to his.

She's never been in his room before, though she's stared at the door a few times while passing through, and once tried to get a glimpse when the door was open because their grandmother was dusting in there. This is the first time she's been inside, and she tries to tell herself that he might actually just be showing her books, right up until he locks the door behind them and says, "Well, now that we're alone…"

"I...yes?"

"I'm actually surprised you even agreed to come up here with me, but I guess I got a pretty good read on you after all," he says. "Come on, it's just the two of us in here. Hop's probably distracted with his new Scorbunny, so he won't bother us for a while."

"But I don't know what...I'm sorry, but why did you invite me up here?" she finally asks. "You told Hop it was to look at books…"

"And he actually believed me! He really is such a good kid. Not half bad looking either, cos of the family resemblance and all, but I guess you've got a thing for older guys, huh?" And there it is again, that heart wrenching smirk that nearly causes Gloria to forget her own name.

"I-I…" Her mouth keeps moving, but she finds that she can't speak.

"Come on, I got it right, didn't I? There's no one else here, so you can just admit it," he insists. "It's fine if you've got a little crush on me, Gloria."

And he's said it, just like it's nothing, and at first, she's so ashamed that she can't speak, while Leon patiently waits for her to respond. Finally, she simply says, "I don't think it's fine at all. Don't you think it's a little creepy?"

"Creepy?" He cocks his head. "What, because you know my little brother? I don't think so. And you're definitely not the first person to get all flustered over the champion."

She would accuse him of being arrogant if she weren't sure that what he's saying is probably completely true. Being alone with him like this, she's sure it's hard not to fall for him, at least a little bit. "Well, I guess, but…"

"But nothing. You've been all fidgety and distracted all day. I don't mean to be forward or anything, but I can guess what might be causing that. Am I right?" He gives her a knowing smile, and she considers denying it, and playing dumb. A part of her wants to see how flustered he might get if she pretended to be completely innocent, but, in her current state, she isn't sure she could pull that off."

"I'm trying to forget about that," she confesses. "You may not think it's weird, but as soon as Hop told me I was going to get to me you, I decided enough was enough. So I've been trying to put it behind me, and I stopped…" She trails off, realizing how close she's come to admitting something a bit too personal, but judging by the way Leon smirks at her, he already has a good idea.

"You make it all really obvious, you know?" he says, stepping closer to her, and she feels a familiar heat flaring up in her. "You can't just stop like that, it's not good for you. And now you're all pent-up, and it's driving you crazy, isn't it?"

She finds herself nodding before she can think not to, and he nods as well. "That's just what I thought. You're all pent-up, and it's all because of me. Isn't it?"

She could absolutely die of shame, and still, she nods again.

"I'm really flattered, Gloria," he says. "I'm also really sorry, I had no idea I was doing this to you. But if you want...well, since it's all my fault, and we're all alone in here, I wouldn't mind taking responsibility and helping you out."

"You...what?"

"All you have to do is say yes, and I'll take care of that for you. You've been holding back because of me, so let me make it all better for you. No pressure, though, I only locked the door so no one would come in. You can leave any time," he says reassuringly, and she knows then that she's not leaving this room any time soon.

"I want to stay," she says, surprised that her voice doesn't shake this time.

"And you want me to take care of you?"

This is really happening, isn't it? Gloria nods, and Leon smiles, going to sit down on his bed and gesturing for her to join him. She takes a few shaky steps over to him, letting out a squeak of surprise when he pulls her down to sit on his lap and pushes up her skirt.

"Alright, let's see what the damage is," he murmurs, putting a hand between her legs so that he can fee her over her panties. She lets out a choked moan at the slight contact, and he says, "Oh, you poor thing. You've completely soaked through. Is this just from today? Is this all because of me? Damn , Gloria…"

"I-I'm sorry," she chokes out, not sure what else to say, and he pushes his hand under the fabric, causing her to gasp.

"Don't apologize," he says. "If anyone should be apologizing, it's me, right? I'm the one who did this to you. That's why I'm helping you, baby."

She would probably apologize again, but that's when he starts fingering her, and she isn't able to say anything at all. Her voice comes out in a sharp and sudden moan, and Leon, his lips close to her ear, says, " Shh , gotta keep it down. Hop might still be down the hall, and we don't want him to hear what's going on in here."

"Mm...I'm sorry…" she says in a small voice, and he laughs, his voice low.

"You really don't have anything to be sorry for. Don't worry about it, I've got you." His voice is so soothing that she can't help but relax in his arms, and she really needed this after putting it off for so long, and his touch is so much better than her own, everything is so much better with him. For the first time, she doesn't have to pretend it's someone else, and he's only been touching for a few minutes when it's already over for her.

After the countless nights of getting well acquainted with her body, she's more than capable of making herself come by now, but she's never come so quickly before, and she's certainly never come so hard before, and he is just quick enough to clamp a hand down over her mouth to muffle the scream she can't hold back. His other hand remains between her legs, gently teasing her as she rides out her orgasm, and even once her scream has faded, she's still whimpering until his open palm.

"There's a good girl," he murmurs. "God, you're so cute, you know that? You really do need to learn to be more quiet, but I guess I can't blame you. You really were pent-up, weren't you, Gloria?"

Finally, he removes his hand from her mouth so that she can reply, but all she says is, "I'm really sorry…"

Leon lets out a hearty laugh, and wraps his arms around her, squeezing her back against him. "How many times do I have to tell you, you have nothing to be sorry about? I was just taking responsibility for what I do to you."

This still doesn't feel real to her, but she knows that it has to be. It's all moved so quickly that it's hard to process, but now that he's gotten her off, she has enough clarity to start to process it. Until she fidgets, realizing that once was not enough to satisfy what she's built up for herself, and before she can stop herself, she's whimpering and gasping, "I'm really am sorry, I-"

"Not enough for you? That's nothing to apologize for either. If that was just a warm up and you want to go all the way, then that's just fine by me," he replies. "Do you promise you can be quiet if we do?"

"I-I promise," she says. "...thank you for this."

"You're welcome, baby," he replies, nudging her to stand up. Her legs are barely stable when she does, but Leon stands up after her and gestures for her to get on the bed. It's hard looking him in the eyes after this, so she tries to avoid that as she lays down for him. "Give me a second to get undressed, alright? You can go ahead and take those panties off, if you want."

Gloria's face burns as she does as she's told, not looking at him all the while. Once she's discarded them, he climbs on top of her, and though he still has his shirt on- and, weirdly enough, his cape- there's nothing covering him from the waist down, and she tries not to openly stare at him. It's her first time seeing anyone this exposed in real life, never mind the fact that it's the Galar champion and man she's been sexually obsessed with for years.

"There's no turning back from this," he says, once he's fully on top of her. She can feel the heat of his erection between her legs, and it takes all of her self-control not to beg him to just do it already. "So if you want to back out, you need to tell me now."

"I don't," she says, "I'm ready." It's hard to know if she is or isn't, but she does know that she might never have another chance like this, and she'd be crazy not to take it.

"Alright, well, I'll be really gentle, so you just relax and let me know if it starts to hurt too much," Leon replies. Gloria nods, and he presses against her, groaning softly as he begins to push forward, into her.

She bites her lip, internally repeating that she needs to relax, and winces as she waits and as Leon takes it slow, easing into her a little bit at a time, watching her face to make sure that he isn't pushing too far. This part feels like it takes the longest, but then, as he fits himself inside of her, the pain begins to subside, and then, she starts to feel really good.

Leon groans again, a shameless expression on his face, and mutters, "That's good, that's really great...doesn't hurt anymore, right?" She opens her mouth to respond, and only moans for him, and he gives her that smirk again, but it's weaker this time. "That's a good girl, so don't mind if I just…"

Once he's begun jerking his hips into hers, neither of them last much longer. Either he knows what he's doing or she's still so desperate to get off that it's not hard work, though it's probably some combination of both. Whatever the case, she's close again in no time, struggling to find her voice to tell him this, and that only encourages him to pick up his pace, thrusting into her until she's crying out for him, and clamping her mouth shut almost immediately as she remembers that she needs to stifle it.

Leon abruptly pulls back, pulling out of her quickly while snatching a tissue from the bedside table. He moans as he comes into it, his shoulders sagging as he finally relaxes. After a moment of catching is breath, he says, "I'm never home, so I'm kind of surprised they still keep my room stocked like this. Good thing I've got those quick reflexes, or we might have had to deal with cleanup."

Gloria simply lays back, still in a daze, and Leon grins down at her. Weakly, she returns his smile, and he asks, "Was that good for you?"

"It was," she says, her voice coming out softer than she intended.

"Everything you dreamed it would be? Maybe more?"

"Definitely more."

At that, he laughs, and says, "You're a sweet kid. Well, I'm glad I could help you out. And since my little brother hasn't started beating the door down yet, I think it's safe to say we got away with it. Still, we better get dressed and you'd better get ready to head home, before somebody catches on."

Gloria nods and slowly sits up, searching for her panties so that she can put them back on. Leon gets dressed again as well, and even finds a few books to give her, to help with their cover up. He gives her a pat on the back before sending her on her way, telling her that he'll probably see her tomorrow.

It's hard to keep herself from grinning like an idiot when she says goodbye to Hop, and harder still to keep from skipping on her way home, and to go to bed without her face being a dead giveaway to her mother. But once she's in bed, she's able to fall asleep, easier than she has in weeks.
