Being the new Galarian Champion was a new thing for you, but dating Leon’s rival was also something you never expected to do. Yes, Raihan was sweet, but he could be a bit high key as well…even in…ahem…bed. But overall, the Dragon-type specialist was pretty mellow and laidback. It wasn’t that hard to tell you both loved each other, with the way Raihan always managed to sneak photos of you with his Rotom phone, or with how you both always praised each other to friends or family, it was probably no surprise that maybe the entirety of the region knew you both were dating.

But such attention always attracted unwanted eyes, whether it be Galarian media or someone thinking that the could get one of you to cheat always bothered you, and you already had a bad self-neglect habit as it is. And what was one unhealthy way to cope with the stress? Stress training. You always worked yourself to the bone doing that.

Today was one of those days unfortunately, you were minding your own business in Hammerlocke one minute, to hiding in Raihan’s Gym the next to avoid the press. It was then you were about to leave to go do some stress training whenever you felt arms wrap around you from behind, holding you from your waist. You were about to start yelling when you heard a familiar chuckle and his chin resting on your head.

“Hey, treasure.~” Raihan said, his pet name for you was really cute. “What’re ya’ doing this time, hm?” he asked as if he didn’t already know why you were so tense. His cyan eyes looked down at you with a teasing glint. The feeling of the taller man hugging you from behind was at least soothing from your already stress-filled day.
