Kabu thinks it’s endearing how nervous you are to meet his fellow gym leaders. “They're going to like you,” he says calmly, squeezing your hand. He normally keeps his personal life to himself, but Kabu thinks you deserve to be more than just his secret. It doesn’t even matter that you’re several years younger than him.

His eyes soften as he drops a kiss onto your forehead. “You have nothing to worry about.” He loves you and wants his colleagues to know.
