You were traveling with Liko, Roy and none other than Ult. The green haired boy was an absolute menace, doing anything he could to get on everyone's nerves and not even apologizing, nor even having remorse or sympathy! Roy didn't like him, despite the fact the two were frienemies. Liko was... Trying to befriend him. Of course, it didn't help that he had a problem of panicking around women. When it came to you, you weren't sure what to think. He seemed very ill-mannered and arrogant, however you had caught glimpses of that caring and compassionate boy beneath his hard outer shell. He was like a walnut, you just had to crack him open.

Nonetheless, it wasn't an easy task. Not in the slightest. He was very firm on his stance of being tough, not that his facade worked anyways.

Currently, the four of you were setting up to camp for the night. Liko was already sitting on top of her sleeping bag, scratching the chin of her beloved pokémon, Meowscarada. Roy was setting up for sleep too. You looked over to Ult who was seated beside you, the both of you leaned back against a large boulder. He had a problem of not falling asleep, worried the group would leave him behind as they've done in past. No reassurance eased those worries, so he hadn't been very well rested. You were about to open you mouth to ask him something when you felt a warm weight thud against your side.

You looked down and low and behold, Ult was pressed up against you, eyes closed. He wasn't asleep he was... Just resting against you. As if it was the most normal thing in the world. You looked back at Liko and Roy but the two were already laying down.

...

You hadn't realized Ult had become that comfortable with you yet.
