Late Night Movie

It was a clear night in Alola. It was the time of day where everyone was asleep, tucked in and dreaming. However, not everyone shared that notion.

In Kukui's home, there was a light still on. Two kids sat in the loft, the bright glow of a small TV slicing the darkness. Both sat snuggled in a blanket, Lillie eating popcorn kernels in suspense of the horror movie that played. Ash was fixated on the screen, one arm around Lillie's shoulders.

On the screen, a jumpscare appeared. Lillie let out a tiny squeal, the bowl of popcorn clashing on the floor. She grabbed Ash's arm as she leaned against him while making terrified little whimpers.

Ash turned his eyes away from the screen and rubbed a hand over Lillie's back. He instantly felt her tense muscles relax.

"...if something scary happens during the night, will you protect me?" the girl quietly asked.

"Of course." Ash leaned his head against Lillie's. "I'll always protect my friends... no matter what."

A/N: This was written after midnight so maybe that explains why this is kinda bad. I'll have the drabbles up to a reasonable pace again now that I'm done with the one-shot I was writing.

By the way, thanks for over 100 faves! I'll have to commemorate that somehow...
