My mind is still foggy, but the feeling of feather light kisses pressing into my shoulder causes a small, breathy chuckle to leave my lips. I feel Leon’s hand squeeze my arm gently, the other tugging me closer into his chest so he can hug me closer. I let out a small hum, moving to wrap my arms around one of his to hug, “Good morning,” I whisper.

He chuckles from behind me, squeezing me closer to him. “Happy Christmas, my love.” He sighs, my body starting to relax again and send me back into dreamland. “Don’t look now,” I feel Leon press his lips to my ear, “but Hop is going to come running in here in three… two…one-.”

The door slams open, causing me to jump in Leon’s arms. Hop’s feet pad across the floor and jumps onto the already too small bed. “Guys, get up, it’s Christmas!”

I roll so that I am laying on my back before hugging him. “Merry Christmas, Hop.” I chuckle and eye Leon. He smiles back and as I tighten my grip on Hop, Lee pinches and tickles his sides. Hop struggles, laughing loudly before I release him and he rolls off the bed.

“Not cool!” He calls as he runs out of the room.

I sigh and cuddle into Leon a little more, running my fingers through the few strands of hair that had fallen down his chest. I finally let out a soft sigh, “We should get up.”

Lee kisses my forehead, tugging me closer to him before loosening his grip on me. He smiles widely at me. “We have to get dressed into those matching pjs we bought.”

“Fuck yeah.” I whisper, pushing him onto his back so I can throw the covers off and crawl overtop of him. Leon laughs loudly as my foot gets stuck in the sheets, causing me to tumble to the floor. I look over at him and giggle with him while he detangles my foot before I rush to the door to shut and lock it. “No need for Hopscotch to stumble in while we are changing-”

“Yeah, we don’t need that,” Leon chuckles as he sits up in bed, stretching his arms over his head.

I grab our onesies, tossing Leon his before spinning around to pull my shirt and shorts off to change into the onsie. I spin around after zipping it up. I look at Leon dressed in his Charizard onsie, hair causing the hood to puff out. “You look adorable,” I giggle, walking over to him.

He smiles, hands moving past my face to grab the charcoal gray hood and pull it onto my head. “These charizard onesies do look good, but I think I should have got the shiny one.”

I shake my head before pushing off the hood, “But you wanted to make your girlfriend happy, so I got it.”

He smiles and chuckles, pressing a kiss to my nose before spinning me around toward the door. “Let’s head downstairs-”

“I have to brush my hair first,” I whisper, walking toward the door and out of the room to the upstairs bathroom. Once I had finished, and Lee had done the same, we made our way downstairs where Hop and Michelle were waiting.

“C'mon! We have to make and eat breakfast and then we can open presents!” Hop yells excitedly.

The morning is filled with laughter and lots of food. Eggs, pancakes in the shapes of different Pokemon, fruits, hashbrowns, and more.

My eyes wander over to Leon, who is leaning against the counter talking to his mom about something. Hop wraps his arms around my middle and squeezes me, making me laugh and hug him back, “Hey, little man. You excited to see what you got?”

“Always,” he chuckles. “But I am more interested to see what everyone else got. It’s a big deal, you know.” He teases, swaying us from side to side before he takes a step back and offers me a hand while in a deep bow. I give him a big curtsy before taking his hand as we dance not-so-gracefully about the kitchen to the cheery Christmas music playing in the background. Leon eventually comes and steals me from him, spinning us around the room until we are both too dizzy to dance any further. Leon has to hold me up while I regain my feet.

“Alright you three, let’s settle down to eat.” Their mom states, pushing us in the direction of the table. Leon gives me a cheesy grin and I can’t help but grin back. It was a day for celebration.

After eating, the four of us settle in the living room. Gifts slowly getting passed to everyone. I smile as Leon playfully throws the wrapping paper across the room to Hop and he rips into a gift from his mother. Hop laughs loudly as he swats the paper out of the air, his Wooloo bumping the paper around on the floor. As the last of the gifts are being passed around, the more nervous I get about them liking what I got them all.

For Leon’s mother, I had gotten fabric and made a tie blanket; it’s a go-to for people I didn’t know what to do gifts for, as well as a pair of warm gloves in black. She smiles brightly at me as she pulls the plush blanket from the paper, “Darling this is beautiful! Thank you!”

I smile widely as I take her gift into my lap and pull the ribbon off. Inside the decorative box is a pair of Wooloo wool gloves and a Wooloo wool hat that are dyed black. “I love them,” I state, getting up from my seat beside Leon to pull her into a tight hug.

“I’m so glad you do, I know how cold it can get in the winter.” She presses a quick kiss to my cheek before we pull away.

“Open mine next, (Y/N)!” Hop yells, he has stood up from his seat on the floor to grab a bag and the wrapped box with his name scribbled on it.

“But you have to open mine first,” I laugh as he hands me the bag and I settle next to Leon on the loveseat.

He nods and pops the top wrapped package off the wrapped box. He makes sure to be careful and not spoil the larger gift underneath. His eyes light up as he pulls out the plushest forest green scarf. He gasps as he wraps it around his neck, “It’s so SOFT!” He smiles widely before tearing into the box, his eyes going wide. He is basically yelling out of excitement now, “WE NEVER GET LEGOS AND NOW I HAVE Pokemon LEGOS!” Hop leaps from his seat, leaving the box on the floor, and throws his arms around me. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

I giggle, hugging him back, “You’re welcome, Hop. I’m glad you like it.”

“I love it, both of them!” He settles on the other side of me on the arm of the loveseat, “Now open mine.”

I laugh, grabbing the bag from off the floor and carefully peel the tape away from the opening. I open the bag and pull the tissue paper way. “Oh my, Hop you didn’t-”

“I knew they would come in handy.”

I laugh as I pull out five pokeballs, five minor potions and revives, a belt, and at the bottom I find a wristband that I can immediately see has a wishing piece inside.

“Sonia helped,” he admits.

I pull the boy into a tight hug, giggling when I hear one of the pokeballs fall to the floor with a thud. “Thank you, Hop. I love them.” I press a quick kiss to his cheek before he jumps up and settles on the couch with his mother.

Now, last but not least, it was time to exchange gifts with Leon. I can see the nervousness on his face as he sets the box for me in my hands.

“I want you to open mine first,” I tease, which normally he would fight about but he doesn’t.

Instead, he bites his lip and slowly tears the paper off. He pops open the lid and looks inside before I notice the way his eyebrows pull together. He pulls out the first thing, a new hat. It had a similar crown design on the underside of the lip, but on the inside of the black canvas I had written a short message.

To my one and only Champion,

May you think of me whenever you wear this, for I am always thinking of you. I wish you nothing but fun times, happiness, and all my love.

Your love, (Y/N) <3</i>

Leon’s lip wobbles, but he doesn’t put it on his head, he instead sets it aside before glancing at me, “I really hope you have one that matches.”

“I do, it has a tiara on it in lavender.” I state, motioning as if I were going to place a hat on my head.

He smiles as he pulls out the next thing, and his breath hitches. It’s a scrapbook filled with pictures of us and stories from the past four years. As he flips through the pages I bite my lip, most are of the two of us, but some include my family and friends from long nights of sitting on the boat and Thanksgiving. I watch as he gets to a page meant for a picture from today, the date printed up on the top with a caption, ‘Many more holidays and celebrations to come!’ He sniffles, which prompts me to turn his face toward mine.

“Hey, you okay?” I wipe a tear from his eyes.

He nods, leaning forward to kiss me gently. “Always as long as I am with you.” He takes a minute to compose himself before he motions toward his gift in my lap. “As much as I love these, I would like to see how you react to what I got you.”

I giggle, taking the box off the floor and pulling it into my lap. “Well, I already got one of your gifts to me-”

“What else did he give you?” His mom asks, only then do I notice my Rotom floating near Hop’s head.

“He got me a Wooloo wool shawl.” I rest my arm over the box for a second, pointing at my floating phone, “Hop can you see what my Rotom is doing?”

Hop glances up, but doesn’t grab it from the air, “Just recording.”

I raise an eyebrow but Lee cuts in, “I asked it to record, wanted to see your reaction.”

“Oh God, should I be scared?” I tease making Leon laugh. I carefully unwrap the bow, now seeing that the wrapping isn’t going to be in the way. Once I lift the lid I let out a laugh seeing three pokeballs nestled into the tissue paper. “Lee, you did not-”

Leon chuckles beside me, motioning me to just continue opening the gift.

I pull the first one out and my heart tightening at the name printed on the ball, “Scorch?” I glance at Lee but he just motions me to the next one. I set down the first ball and pick up the second, it also has a name written on it, “Daisy? Lee, did you get the Pokemon that are some of my favorite team members from the game?” I whisper, but Leon is still prompting me to continue. I set the second one back down and lifted the last ball.

This one was blank. I turn and look at him but he only smiles so I toss the pokeball up, prompting the creature inside to come out. I gasp at the Applin landing in my hands, Leon had snatched the ball before I could so I was able to catch it with ease. However, instead of the normal red color, it is a vibrant green. “Leon,” I breathe, bringing the little creature closer and hugging it gently. “It’s green, Leon its a shiny Applin.” I whisper, looking at him in awe, the Applin nuzzles into my chest. I look at Lee with bright eyes, smiling at him “Isn’t there a saying that if you fancy someone and you give them an Applin it means you will be together forever?” The Applin makes a small noise, causing me to turn my attention back to the creature cuddling into my chest.

“It is,” I hear Leon shift until he gets off the couch, “But I also heard that in Greece, if you throw a girl an apple its a marriage proposal.”

My head snaps up to find Leon on one knee, a ring in hand. A small gasp leaves my lips as I look at him, tears already forming in my eyes as my arms fall slack and Applin lands in my lap.

“(Y/N), I have known since the day I met you, that I was going to spend the rest of my life with you. You are compassionate, loyal, kind, and sweeter than any Pokemon I have ever encountered. You make me a better person everyday, and I miss you everyday that I am away from you. You push me to be better, for my family, for the people who look up to me, and for myself. I want to spend the rest of my life waking up to you, making you laugh, and watching you succeed. I want to have little you’s and me’s running around and help them be the best people they can be!” Leon hiccups, as tears even fall down his face, “I want you, every bit of you, for the rest of my life. So, will you make me the happiest man in the world, and- and marry me, (Y/N)?”

I nod as tears fall down my face, and continue to nod before a choked “Yes” falls past my lips and Leon sighs loudly before reaching and grabbing my face to kiss me. When we pull away a laugh leaves my lips, “Yes, yes, yes, if I knew any other languages, all of them yes!” I whisper, cupping his cheeks in my hands. Applin bounces in my lap, trying to pull my attention back to it. I move one of my hands to it and caress it. “God, how long have you been planning this?”

His cheeks turn a dark shade of red, “Uh, this summer? I was going to do it after the final battle but that didn’t work.” He lets out a small laugh, cupping my cheek and wiping my tears away. “And it was going to be a different Applin, the lady called me two weeks ago and said that they had produced a shiny one after I had given a kid the one I was planning on giving to you to give to his sweetheart,” he shakes his head as he wipes his own tears softly, “and I’m a mess.”

“My favorite mess,” I giggle.

“Can I hug my new sister yet?” Hop cuts in, his mom shushing him. I laugh, Leon moving out of the way so I can stand and hug his brother and mom.

“Let us see the ring, Leon has been keeping it a secret for months.” His mom teases, and now I realize he hasn’t even placed it on my hand yet. We all laugh as Leon looks panicked, fumbling to pick the ring up from the floor before getting off the floor and sliding the ring onto my ring finger. We can all finally look at it.

It’s not something I would expect from Leon. Instead of just a simple diamond ring, the main stone is an oval alexandrite moonstone with a small diamond on either side of it set in a rose gold band. It’s beyond what I ever thought he would use for an engagement ring. “Did you search my Pinterest board or something?”

Leon laughs, “I asked Ginny for some help, she showed me the etsy artist you like so much. It had to be perfect for you.” He teases, kissing my temple.

Hop grabs my phone, smiling. “And Rotom got the whole thing on video; even of Leon opening his gift from you, (Y/N/N)!”

I smile as I motion for the floating device, she floats over and shows the video, and I can’t help but smile. “I’m going to have to send this to myself so I can show people back at home. Although, I will bend the story and say you just got me an apple and a bunch of ornaments for a future tree.”

“That is something I would do,” Lee chuckles. “But now I want to take you and your new Pokemon outside so you can be fully acquainted.”

I squeal as I grab the box and pull the other two pokeballs out of the box, only to be stopped by his mom.

“Wait, you all need to change first, but I want a picture of you three in your pajamas.”

We laugh, Lee and I pulling Hop in between us to take the picture. After a few pictures were taken, Hop races up the stairs while Lee and I retreat into his room to change. Lee has a huge smile on his face while I change, dressing into a pair of jeans, thick socks, a sweater, and a vest to go overtop. Lee throws on a thick sweater and jeans since he was already wearing socks. We clamber downstairs and Lee, Hop, and I as well as Ivy and the little Applin head outside.

“Who are you going to set out first?” Hop asks, jumping up and down.

I reach into the vests pocket and discover that I am holding Scorch’s pokeball. I smile as I shift the little Applin onto my shoulder and toss the pokeball into the air. “C'mon out, Scorch!” I call out as the little, level five Scorbunny hops out. He immediately hops up and down due to him standing in snow so I open my arms for him to jump into. Scorch chirps at me, huddling himself closer to me as I hug him gently, swaying us back and forth causing Applin to coo back at me before jumping into Hop’s hands. “Look at my little boy!” I coo, Leon chuckling behind me.

“He just wants to battle and make whoever is training him proud.” Leon jokes, making me smile.

“That sounds like my boy, always kickin’!” I tease, making him throw his hands up in excitement. He moves to sit on my shoulder grabbing a paw full of hair to keep from falling off. I smile as my Rotom buzzes around and takes pictures as it goes. I reach inside the opposite pocket and produce the last pokeball, my thumb running over the painted name. “Alright, we got one more left. C'mon out, little Daisy love.” I toss the ball forward and Toxal pops out. She stands immediately from the cold, little sparks emitting from her as she pouts and has a minor tantrum. I lean down, careful to not jostle the bunny on my shoulder, and scoop her up, setting her on my hip. “Too cold for baby, huh?” I tease, her eyes falling on me easily. She grabs a fist full of my vest, tugging it gently.

“I know her nature will make her a low-key Toxtricity,” Leon states, walking over so he can look at Daisy. “I was trying to make sure everything was as close as possible.”

“They are perfect, Lee. Don’t even worry about it, okay?” I mutter, looking up at him with bright eyes. I motion for Hop so I can grab Applin and place her on my head. I let out a small whistle, notifying Rotom to zip over, I giggle as I feel Leon and Hop stand on either side of me, Ivy sitting on my feet as Rotom takes a few pictures. I smile at the results, sighing softly at how homely the whole thing feels, and a bit more of excitement build inside my chest.

“Are you happy love?” Lee pulls me from my thoughts, and I turn to see his bright smile.

“Absolutely, but now we have something else to do.”

He raises an eyebrow at me, “What?”

I smile widely, carefully letting Applin hop to his shoulder as I lean up and press a kiss to his lips before whispering, “We have to tell my family."

Once the Pokemon were placed back in their balls and settled for the afternoon, I texted my mom to video call me with the whole family. She stated it would be about twenty minutes, which gave me time to talk to Leon about how he proposed. We decided that we weren’t going to show them the video until we had told them about Pokemon; instead, we would tell them the other planned story.

When the skype notification pops up, I grab Lee’s hand before accepting the call.

My family’s faces fill the screen, Aiden seated in the middle.

”(Y/N)-“

"How are you-”

“Merry Christmas!”

I laugh, Leon chuckling softly, “Hello! We are good, and Merry Christmas to you too! How is everyone?”

Lee and I listen to my family talk about their morning, and since my family had celebrated before I left, they had taken the time to just relax and watch movies.

“How has your Christmas been? What was something that was really memorable?” My mom cuts in, smiling widely. Oh, so she knew?

“Well, (Y/N)’s gift was amazing.” Leon gushes, giving my thigh a firm squeeze. “I loved the scrapbook. She actually made me cry.” Lee admits making me smile as I lean over and kiss him gently.

“Leon got me an apple.” I tease, making Leon laugh as I brush my nose against his.

My brother’s mouth falls open, “Dude, that’s not a gift!”

Leon laughs, “Hold on little man, there is more to the story.” Leon shifts next to me, “So here in Galar if you give someone you really like an apple it’s your way of confessing your love-”

“You did that already,” Aiden whines, making Leon laugh.

My folks are laughing too, My mom nudges Aiden’s shoulder, “Let them finish, bug.”

Leon shakes his head and chuckles, “I did confess, but it also means that you want to be with them forever.”

“Lee also told me that there is a tradition in Greece involving apples,” I add giving his hand a quick squeeze before continuing “In Greece if you throw a girl an apple,” I lift my hand into view, “It’s a marriage proposal”

The room falls silent, their faces shocked. It isn’t until Aiden yells out “Oh my God!” That the room fills with cheers. “He didn’t!”

“Baby!”

“(Y/N), Lee I am so happy for you. We are so happy for you both.” My dad smiles, giving my mom’s shoulder a squeeze as she dabs her eyes. “Leon I hope you know that we have always seen you as a part of the family but now we can officially say that you are.”

Aiden throws his arms into the air, “I have an actual brother!”

“You technically have two since Lee has his little brother, who is your age, Aid.”

He smiles, “I’m so excited.”

Leon and I look at each other, honestly we were excited too. For us to train my Pokemon, for the upcoming summer, and our future.
