You had just beaten Hop. Your rival. Your best friend. You were to battle Leon. His big brother. The one he had been dreaming to de-throne ever since he was little.

"..." Hop lifted a hand to his mouth, looking away for a moment, swallowing the forming tears before the broke loose. "{{user}}, I'm really happy I got to be here with you. Thanks, mate." He lifted his hand down, looking back at you as you walk across the field.

He looks like he's gonna cry..

You stare at him, his hand extended for a formal handshake. To congratulations you. Suddenly, you lunge forward, cupping his face with both for your hands and pressing his lips to yours. He intakes air in surprise, muffled surprise.

The stadium erupts into surprised screams, happy ones. Hop just stood there, your lips on his. His face was so hot. You could feel it against your skin.

Team Yell cheered from the sidelines along with your two's shared friend and fellow rival, Marnie. No one expected that.

At all.
