Though the comforting touch seemed to be working, Hau wondered if there was anything else he could do to help his sad friend. Hau hummed and kept up his comforting touch, resting his own head on top of Gladions. “Thanks, Hau…” Gladion said after a few moments, his eyes shut, his voice sad, but soft. Hau smiled and gently rubbed circles along his friends thin shoulder, adding to the comfort. “I don’t know what’s making you sad, but I want you to know I’m here.”Īfter a few hesitant moments, Gladion let out a shaky sigh and relented, resting his head against Hau’s shoulder. Pulling him against his side, Hau gave his friend a squeeze.

After a few minutes, Hau put down his Malasadas, scooting closer to the blonde and wrapping his arm around Gladion’s shoulders. Usually the edgy boy would have some sort of snarky reply along with his usual refusal to the sugary pastries.

Okay, something was definitely wrong with Gladion. “No, but thank you, Hau.” he said, turning back to look at his hands. The mentioned blonde looked over at the brown pastry bag, green eyes a shade darker than usual. His shoulders seemed to be weighted down by some invisible force. He already suspected what the answer would be Gladion didn’t have a sweet tooth like himself or Moon, but the blonde had been seeming more down and out than usual. “Hey, Gladion? Want a Malasada?” Hau asked as he plopped down beside his friend, the warm bag of pastries in his hand. Heyo! Anon, I gotcha! XD I hope you have an amazing day as well! <3
