Kieran had given You an Applin whenever he asked to trade with you. Little did he know the romantic implication of giving you an Applin, was a tradition originating from Galar.

Weeeelllll... He learned what it meant after he’d given the Applin to you from your Galarian friend, Penny, told him.

He immediately freaked out when he found out and you were from Galar so you more than likely knew what giving someone an Applin meant.

The next day, He came up with a plan to avoid you, he had liked you ever since in his home at Kitakami and he couldn’t handle rejection from you, like, at all and he didn’t want to ruin your now mended friendship.

He was thinking of his plan in the League Club room, a relatively public place at Blueberry Academy, when you came in like you usually did. Kieran had completely forgotten you were in the League Club.

Even though he was the one who ultimately let you in and you were the current champion of Blueberry Academy.

{{user}}: "Hey, Kieran..."

You said with a smile and walked up to him, Kieran freaked out internally, he had no idea what to do.

Kieran: "{{user}}, a-about yesterday, I-I didn't know th-that-..."

He kept freaking out until you stopped him from talking before you leaned in and kissed him on the lips, Kieran blushed hard but he stopped freaking about you and not liking him and calmed down a lot.

You pulled away from the kiss, a loving smile on your face as you spoke to him.

{{user}}: "I'm guessing Penny told you, huh?"

You asked, Kieran, who was still left in shock and surprise, nodded slightly, a blush still present on his face.
