A/N After talking with my friend about what I should do with the later chapters, she said I should put in more characters otherwise it would just seem repetitive. I jokingly said I’d put in Brock (anime Brock), which lead to my friend begging me to do so and then justifying her reason. This Brock is based more on the anime Brock (but not to such an embarrassing degree), but you’ll understand why we’ve done this later in the chapter.
Silver wasn’t quite sure why he was following behind Gold, but he was sure it had something to do with the fact that Green had wanted him to change. He was keeping distance between them, but it was still clear they were travelling together because Gold was talking Silver’s ears off, usually receiving only a grunt, glare or silence in answer.
“I’ve never actually been here before,” Gold continued on happily as he turned to look at who he wanted to call a friend. “I wonder where the best places to eat are.”
“Idiot...” Silver mumbled under his breath before he suddenly changed course and headed to their right.
Gold tilted his head as he followed behind the younger male. “Silver? Where are you going?”
“To get food...” Silver’s voice was harsh and bitter, but Gold knew he couldn’t expect anything more. He lead the raven-haired male over to a small cafe surrounded by a luscious garden before he stopped and glanced at the taller boy.
Gold whistled in astonishment. “How did you know to come here?”
Silver shrugged and mumbled something again. Though Gold didn’t catch it, he knew better than to question the redhead. They walked inside, Gold in the lead with Silver behind him, and then made their way over to a small table towards the back of the café, waiting for a waitress to come and take their order.
Silver sat on the other end of the table, trying to put as much distance between them as possible. He didn’t feel comfortable with this, but he wanted so hard to do it. He had thought about it as he walked here with Gold; he wanted to prove something, not just to Green, and not just to Gold, but to everyone else who had never given him a chance and, most importantly, himself so that he could show his father just how wrong that man had been.
“What are you going to order, Silver?’ Gold asked, a lazy grin on his face as he tilted his chair back. “I could really go for a chicken roll.”
Silver shrugged again. “...Food...”
Gold laughed and sat properly once a blonde waitress arrived to take their orders. He was calm as he asked for his chicken roll, waiting patiently for Silver to place his own want.
When the waitress left, Gold smiled brightly at the redhead, tilting back in his chair. “You know, I’ve never actually been in Kanto before. I figure I’ll take the Gym challenge over here, too.”
Silver sneered at these words. “Don’t embarrass yourself.”
Gold waved off the insult, knowing that Silver really had no idea how he was supposed to behave in these kinds of situations. “You should do it, too, Silver. We could do it together.”
“I wouldn’t go with you if my life depended on – get off me!”
Gold’s eyes widened as a tanned male with brown hair placed his hands on Silver’s shoulders, spinning the redhead around to face him.
“Why, hello, beautiful,” the brunet spoke. “I was on my way to see the Viridian Gym Leader, but I’m glad I stopped by for some lunch; just seeing such a beautiful girl like you has –“
Silver shoved the brunet away with a loud snarl before he got to his feet, ready to yell and scream and, if needed, attack. “Don’t fucking touch me, you pervert!”
Before anything more could be said, Gold jumped in between Silver and the male, his voice cold as he spoke. “Silver is not a girl, and keep your hands off him. I won’t let you near him.”
The male frowned as Silver’s eyes widened; had Gold... just... defended him...? Against a stranger...? Someone who could potentially hurt them...?
“Gold...” Silver’s mouth opened and closed, not able to say the words he was thinking. “...Gold...”
“I...” The brunet could see just how stressed out the redhead was, and he felt terrible; he knew that his advance hadn’t helped. “...I’m really sorry... Please, let me pay for your food.”
Gold turned to Silver, reaching out to put his hand on the younger’s shoulder. “Are you okay, Silver?”
Silver’s normally cold expression was one of shock as his eyes searched Gold’s face for a hint of deception. “...You... Y-you stopped him...”
“You’re my friend, Silver,” Gold reminded gently. “That’s what friends do.”
“...But...” Silver couldn’t help but tear up. He bowed his head as realisation dawned on him; Green had been right all along; Gold was a good person... “...T-thank you...”
The male who had caused this tapped Gold on the shoulder. “Would you mind if I sit with you guys? I really do feel terrible about this.”
“No, that’s fine.” Gold gestured to one of the chairs on the table opposite them. “Pull one up.”
The brunet nodded as he did so, watching as the raven-haired male coaxed the redhead back into his seat. “My name is Brock. I’m the Gym Leader of Pewter City. I had to talk to the Viridian Gym Leader and organise something.”
“I’m Gold, and this is Silver,” Gold introduced. “We’re from Johto, but I came over to take the Kanto Gym Challenge.”
“Ambitious. How did you go in Johto, Gold?”
“Beat all seven.” Gold grinned.
Silver remained quiet as Gold and Brock conversed, too confused about his new revelation to want to talk much. He picked at his food once it arrived and, once he knew Gold and Brock had finished eating as well, quietly mumbled that he had to return back to the Gym.
“I’m heading that way, so I’ll walk with you.” Brock stood up and moved to Silver’s side, not acknowledging the flinch the redhead rewarded him with.
“Okay...” Silver mumbled. He moved closer to Gold, not realising he had done so until their shoulders brushed together.
Gold didn’t comment on this and inside smiled, talking happily as they returned back to Green’s gym.
~~With Green~~
Green, despite having closed the Gym for the day due to his injuries and Silver’s absence, was sitting inside, waiting for his fellow Gym Leader to arrive for their meeting about tactics in Gym battles. However, he was rather surprised when the man was flanked by the two children he thought had gone to lunch. He couldn’t help but smile upon seeing the way Silver stood close to Gold, clearly seeking comfort.
“Brock.” Green nodded politely to the older male.
“Green.” Brock gestured to the kids beside him. “I believe these are yours?”
“One of them is. The redhead. His name is Silver.”
“Yeah, we met,” Silver said. His voice was soft, but there was no hint of the coldness that Green was accustomed to hearing. He then did something that surprised both Gold and Green; he smiled. “...It must have been amusing to see.”
Green offered a smile only for Silver before he turned his attention back to Brock, the gentle display of emotion now replaced by one of boredom. “Shall we take this into the tearoom, Brock? It will be more comfortable out there than it is in here.”
Brock nodded, moving to Green’s side. Silver and Gold stayed where they were, not sure if they should follow or not. The younger brunet seemed to sense their confusion and turned back to them, offering a small smile.
“You may join us if you so wish,” Green said. “It’s your choice.”
Silver glanced down at the ground before he looked at Gold. He shrugged, his cold expression returning, but still that tiny hint of warmth in his eyes. “I don’t care. Whatever Gold wants to do.”
Gold laughed before he took the younger male’s arm, tugging him along as he turned to exit the Gym. “We’ll go have a battle!”
Silver tugged his arm back to his person, growling about personal space, but Gold didn’t care; he was just too happy as he always seemed to be.
A/N I’m considering making this the second last chapter with an epilogue summing the fic up. I’ve got school and other fics I need to work on amongst other things, and it will be easiest for me to end most of my fics as soon as I can.
