Your POV
Gladion decided to come and pick me up. He told me to wear just a casual outfit, since his mother didn't mind how I would look like, except for Gladion and Lillie themselves. Also, because he said I should just be myself.
When we were on the artificial island, also known as the Æther Paradies, we walked into the entrance. The place seemed a little empty. None - or just a few workers were here. We walked to the other side of the entrance, where their mansion is.
As we walked to the mansion, I remembered Gladion had something to tell me yesterday. I really want to know what he wants to tell me, but is it a good time to ask him about it? No, I should wait. Perhaps it's better after the dinner.
Gladion cleared his throat and looked at me. "Before we enter the mansion, I just gotta tell you that my mother..", he darted his eyes to the side, in a embarrassed way, "She.. can act weird."
"That's fine! I've seen your mother act way crazier before so..", I reassured him. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes, before opening the door for us. We were greeted by the smell of food in the air. Gladion walked to a door, where a larger room was. In the middle of it was a dining table, full of different kinds of food. By the sight of it, I got really hungry.
"Mother..!", Gladion yelled, looking around the room. There was a second door, leading into another room. I think it's the kitchen. Lusamine walked out of it and had an angry look on her face. She walked up to Gladion and pinched his cheeks.
"I told you to call me mommy!", she scolded and folded her arms. I covered my mouth to not burst out laughing, but one chuckle escaped my mouth. His mother heard it and turned her head into my direction. She began to smile. "(Name), it's really you! My, how you've grown and you're beautiful too!"
"Thank you! Yes it's me. How are you?", I asked her, as she grabbed both of my hands and caressed them. "I'm very fine! Thanks to that doctor back in Kanto! I'm sorry for causing all the troubles back in that day." She looked down in shame, as I shook my head. "It's fine! You're healthy. That's all what matters now."
Lusamine looked back up again, turning her head to Gladion who had listened to the conversation. She began to laugh mischieviously and told us to sit at the table. Before walking back into that other room, she told us that Hau and Lillie were still on their way, so we were alone for a while now.
I looked at my hands, that were placed on my lap. Sometimes I would either take a glimpse at Gladion or at the food. Honestly, the food looks so devouring, I could drool.
Gladion sneezed suddenly, while mumbling something under his breath. "Bless you~", I said. He was sitting on the opposite of me. He looked very impatient and was looking irritated around the room. His cheeks were red all the time, as he was doing so.
"Are you alright Gladion?", I asked him, leaning a bit forward. He avoided my gaze and shrugged. "Yeah. I'm fine."
Suddenly the door we came in before, was burst open by an enthuastic teen boy. We all call him the malasada boy.
"Hey guys!!", Hau shouted through the room. Lillie, who stood behind him waved at us. Gladion facepalmed in embarrassement. "That idiot has no manners." Then, his hair got messed up from someone.
He fixed his hair, grunting in annoyance, as he looked who did that. It was Lusamine, looking rather displeased. "My son. Who taught you such words?", she asked, sounding a little scary. I gulped and looked at Gladion, who didn't mind that aura of his mother radiating.
He folded his arms and closed his eyes. "Well there's this one evil organisa–"
"Hm. I think I need to have a talk with Guzma later", Lusamine shrugged, walking towards Lillie, Hau and greeting them. Lillie sat next to me, while Hau was sitting next to Gladion. On the opposite of Lillie. His eyes were only on one particular plate: Malasada.
"Shall we eat?", Lusamine asked, grabbing the silverware in the hands. We all nod and wish a good appétit to everyone in the room, as the dinner started.
"So.. Gladion", Lusamine began, wiping away some crumbles with a tissue, after finishing her meal, "Is there someone you like?" He shot up from his seat and looked flustered, as I stared at him in confusion.
"You know. Yesterday you forgot your phone in the livingroom and you had someone as a wallpaper", she snickered, along with Lillie and Hau. "What do you mean Lusamine?", I ask her, still looking at Gladion.
"M-Mother!", Gladion stuttered, his face burned in embarrassement. "It's nothing special!", he explained, then looking at me, hoping I would understand.
Lillie set her silverware down and cleared her throat. "But haven't you been mumbling in your sleep her nam—?", Lillie got cut off by Gladion covering her mouth. He closed his eyes and pulled his hand away.
"I thought this is going to be a nice dinner", Gladion mumbled, looking down at his bowl with soup. "But this is just plain annoying."
"I think it's fun", Hau laughed. I nod my head in agreement. "Yes. It is indeed a funny evening!" Lillie laughed along with us. "Yes! I'm so happy!"
Narrator POV
As Gladion watched them laughing, a smile grew on his face. His mother watched them too, as they started joking around with each other. She suddenly stood up from her chair, grabbing the attention from the others.
"Alright, it's time to name the grandchildrens. Let's start with Lillie and Hau!" Lusamine walked towards a cupboard and pulled out a notebook and a pen. She then sat back to her seat, as the four of them looked at her in disbelief.
"What?", she asked, confused why they're looking at her like that. Gladion sighed and walked away, towards the door. "This is too much for me. I'm leaving." (Name) stood up from her seat and followed him right away, telling him to wait for her.
Lusamine turned her head towards Hau and Lillie, who awkwardly looked at their plates. She put the notebook on the table and started writing down some names, that she thinks were beautiful. "Lillie and Hau, come over her for a second", she pointed to the free seats next to her, as she showed them some examples.
"Ooooh! I like this one!!", Hau pointed to the name Alice Kala. Lillie started to blush and looked at Hau. "H-Hau.. Do you really want kids..?", she asked shyly, as her blonde hair covered her face from showing any expression. Hau tilted his head questioningly. "Yeah of course!!"
A puff of hot steam came out of Lillies ears, as her mother laughed in amusement. "I'm sure he'll be a good father, Lillie." Lusamine patted the head of Lillie, while she looked up again, her eyes shining.
"Let's choose the name for (Name)s and Gladions child", Lusamine suggested with a motivational tone, while scribbling down some ideas.
"Yesss! Let's do this!", the two teens beamed, leaning over the paper and look at the notes. Also giving her some ideas.
