Sing me to sleep, O’ Morning Glory

Or, Gloria gets a late night phone call and Victor handles his guilt and anxiety poorly.

It’s around 3am when Gloria gets the phone call. She barely registers the familiar ringtone.

Four bell chimes in rapid succession, followed by two deeper, much slower chimes.

Victor’s ringtone.

She’s more than awake now, staring wide eyed at the bright screen of her phone. Hardly believing the words that scrawled across the glass.

Victor A. Morning

A hundred thousand questions raced through her mind.

Is he alright?

Where was he?

Why did he leave so abruptly?

Why hadn’t he called her sooner?

What had he been doing all this time?

When was he coming home?

Was he ever coming home?

She answers.

“Vic?”

“Mornin’ Glory.” Her cousin’s voice is ragged and he’s breathing heavy.

“Arceus, Vic, you sound horrible! You okay?” Gloria’s out of bed now, almost frantically dressing. Victor barks out a hoarse laugh.

“Ah, ‘s nothing, ‘m fine now, Glory.” He doesn’t sound fine to her.

“Where are you?” She starts to fumble for her backpack, but stops when he doesn’t answer.

“I can’t tell you.” He says flatly, after a moment of silence. “Nor can I answer the other questions ‘m sure you have.”

“Why not? Vic, you’ve been gone for a fucking year!” She hadn’t meant to shout, but she always had a quick temper.

Victor doesn’t answer right away. He doesn’t have to. She can hear the sharp breaths he’s trying to muffle.

“Mornin’ Glory, please.” It’s barely a whisper and thick with guilt, but he manages to choke it out. She can hear a faint creaking, can hear Vic rocking himself. “I can’t lose you too.”

“Victor.” She can hear his breath hitch, she hardly ever uses his real name.

“Yeah?” He whimpers, biting back a poorly concealed sob.

“What do you need?” She asks softly. He called for a reason after all.

“Can.. can you sing for me? Like you did when we were little?” She smiles.

And she does. All the songs she sang over the years.

The songs she sang when Victor would have nightmares.

The songs she sang when they played in the garden with Hop.

The songs she sang him after his father’s funeral.

The songs she sang after he won each gym badge.

And the song she never got to sing to him.

The song she sang after he dropped out of the tournament and disappeared.

He wasn’t even trying to muffle the tears when she finally finished.

“Gloria.” He says when the tears finally run dry. She hums in response, letting him take the time she knows he needs.

“I need your help, Mornin’ Glory.” She smiles, shouldering her backpack. She pulls on her favourite cap, the one Issac gave her before the accident.

“Meet you at the spot?” He laughs, coarse and pained, but a laugh all the same.

“Half past ten O’clock.” He finishes the rythme, and she can hear the smile in his words. The call ends and Gloria is out the door. She had a train to catch.

The sun had long risen as Victor leans back on the floor of his van, eyes fixated on the dark screen glaring accusingly back at him.

If she dies, it’ll be your fault. Because you were too much of a coward to protect her.

He shakes his head, tearing his gaze away and looking out the back window. Absently he reaches for a pokeball on the belt of his discarded jeans. His thumb runs over the ridges. He takes a shaky breath.

“Always was a morning person.” He laughs at his own joke, fresh tears spilling hot down his already sore cheeks.

“I can’t do this alone.”

florian's always struggled to make friends so he didn't really have any back in galar... uh, actually — it might be more accurate is that he USED to have one...

headcanon explanation + bonus under the cut!

like mentioned above, florian has always struggled a lot with making friends. while he's a kindhearted and friendly kid, he can come across as kinda intense to others, ( especially when discussing his interests, ) and that's led to him often being alienated amongst his peers. though he's grown used to being by himself and has learned to not care if others dislike him, he still hopes that he can find at least a few people to connect with outside of his family. it's a hope that's always been present, ever since he was growing up in wyndon.

of course, he wasn't the only loner amongst his childhood peers. around 7 years old, he found a friend in bede fee, who attended the same primary school as him. bede themself wasn't exactly the friendliest kid out there and often had spats with people who made fun of them for their family's low-income status, but florian managed to get them to warm up to him. the two got along pretty well and found comfort in having a friend that seemed to understand them, both being lonely kids who were often picked on by others. after a while, they became pretty much inseparable as they frequently played, read, and laughed together. to florian, it didn't matter that people picked on him just as long as he had bede there to be his friend. bede shared a similar sentiment... at least, at first he did.

admittedly, florian has a habit of resting on his laurels when it comes to things he doesn't have an interest in improving. ( it doesn't matter if he isn't as good of a battler as his sister, all he needs is to be strong enough to keep himself safe during field research. it doesn't matter if he's ostracized amongst his peers and looked down upon, he's alright as long as he has someone to call a friend. etc, etc. ) bede, however, couldn't keep themself from caring about their place in the pecking order. they were sick of others looking down on them, sick of others thinking they were better than them. they just couldn't understand how florian could stand people treating him poorly without getting angry. over time, frustration and resentment towards his attitude festered inside them. these feelings were only exacerbated by their struggles at home and being sent to the orphanage. while they would still call each other friends, their bond had definitely become strained.

everything came to a head when they were both 11 years old, when rose visited bede's orphanage and his acknowledgement caused a major shift in their personality. after all, someone that important seeing their potential surely meant that they better than their peers, right? they soon became much more pompous and rude in nature. florian still stayed close by despite bede's worsening attitude towards him, but it wasn't before long until all of their pent-up feelings came flooding out. their friendship ended with massive fight, with bede telling florian that they were sick of being weighed down by an " annoying pest " like him. while they expected for him to take their cruel remarks in stride like he always did with everyone else, bede couldn't help but feel a little guilty when florian ran off in tears. the two stopped talking after that fight and ever since then, there's always a worry in the back of florian's mind that his friends will eventually get sick of him like bede did. ( thankfully, the friends he's made since then have helped make him feel a lot more secure in their relationships. )

apologies for the long-winded explanation, here's the bonus i promised to make up for how sad this hc got :

the goofy ass side effect of coming up with this headcanon is realizing that they accidentally shaped each others' taste in guys rip

[tanoieyt]

red 

always grabbing onto something from you, hands, sleeves, whatever he can latch onto

like there was this one time during your most memorable celebration, he whispered to you 

“i love you” 

alsooo he loves to put his hat on your head 

ethan 

if you like nature walks he’ll drag you along

but if you’re more relaxed, he’ll just cook up some food (or get something from a store) and have a picnic outside 

after tirelessly playing at the beach with you, splashing water everywhere and whatever sand games, he loves to drag you to watch the sunset together!! 

or loves how the moon’s light shines on you <33

brendan 

he loves pda!! smooches, hugs, hand-holding, whatever he can come up with!! doesn’t like compliments too much though

he’s either a full-on inside kid on some days and on others he’s pushing you through the door

clingy but tries to hide it

lucas 

if you like to study too, he’ll always ask for you to study whatever next to him, he needs motivation sometimes :P

he might be up all night finalizing projects and maybe even wake you up randomly to double-check some work

if you don’t like grinding out studies like him, you just end up getting snacks for him for motivation or you give him pecks on the cheek

hilbert 

gets so flushed when you play with his hair or physical touch in general

gets really nervous if you try to show pda, especially in front of his friends, doesn’t want to get embarrassed lol

you guys always look for new places to eat or chill out, favorite place being a park with magnificent scenery with a charming cafe

calem 

always trying to make something for you, ranging between tiny hair clips and ties to extravagant outfits

also gives you tons of gift baskets 

analyzes your fashion style like a forced english assignment that’s worth 120% of your final grade

always comes in clutch for formal events, making you the most magnificent clothes

elio 

likes to pretend to act mysterious :P

lives for beach dates!!! sometimes throws sand at your head and pretends he’s sorry 

you guys will watch the moon and he’ll pretend he’s not looking at you

when you look back, he’s turned around either giggling, super flushed, or a mix of both 

victor 

you guys are a storm in the kitchen (a good or bad one depending on your cooking skill lolol)

will help you cook by hovering over you and taking your arms to help you stir and stuff

matching aprons duhhhh

if he notices something is wrong with you— the tiniest inconvenience, he will stop immediately to check in :P (our observant king)

[k-aasbroodje]

I've read this incorrect quote a while ago lmao

Justice for Victor, poor little man

[kephalopods]

That moment when you’re finally able to go on your Pokémon journey and avoid the responsibilities of being The Eldest Sibling but your fuckass little brother decides to tag along with you
