...Then you don't like that I called him all of those things.

[Because he's in despair, because he hates him, because he's angry, because he's afraid, because he doesn't trust him, because he's sad. because...]

Did you want to be called all of those things?

[He's jealous?]

[Urk. Nail on the head.]

I'm changin' my mind about this world. I don't like it.

[stop showing his weaknesses dammit]

It takes some getting used to.

[And honesty.]

You want me to tell you how great you are too, or would that make it weird?

Keep it to yourself. It's no big deal, alright? Just didn't expect to get it around you of all people.

[Everyone else needs to know how cool and incredible and awesomely amazing he is, or at least admit to thinking it. He knows Silver thinks he's the Beedrill's knees. Or his ego does.]

[...It happens, sometimes you get jealous, and sometimes you get jealous over really stupid stuff because Aiada is punching you in the brain, like- wait.]

...Have you been getting jealous over weird things since you got here?

[... He was gonna ask Silver to define weird but uh.

You know what?]

Things I wouldn't usually get into a huge fuss over, right?

Exactly. Things that don't usually bother you, or don't usually bother you this much.

[...That would make sense, wouldn't it? Gold's always after attention.]

Maybe you're aligned to Aiada too.

Well, at least I made a good impression on our representative, even if you've been talkin' shit about me to everyone you know.

[... If he's aligned to Aiada, anyway, which is something Silver seems particularly sure about.]

You've been getting them too, then?

I only talked shit once.

[Just one time! It's not like he said anything untrue, either--!]

But yeah, I have. [...] That's what all of the stuff outside was about. Or at least some of it.

[talkin shit is talkin shit]

... So was your big flowery thing when we got here that too, or is it just ice stuff.

...I do that a lot.

[...]

I might be doing it a little more than usual, but I do that a lot.

[...]

I'm surprised you have just one girlfriend. Chicks go nuts over flowers.

I'm not the only one who makes flowers. I don't want more girlfriends, either.

You should! Every guy wants girls hangin' off him, dude!

[...]

Though... I guess... You might want guys hangin' off you too..?

[The awkwardness of that doesn't even need an emotion effect it's just. There. It's so there.]

...Not while I'm with White, I don't.

[But he's not denying it, either.]

Why? Is that weird?

[how does he

uh]

Ask Crys.

[there. push it onto the girl of their group]

No. I'm asking you.

[Don't push this on Crys--!]

[WHEN DAD DOESN'T WANT TO ANSWER YOU PUSH IT ONTO MOM DAMMIT]

I... guess not? I don't know, man, I've met some pretty flamboyant people before [like ryuunosuke and tsukiyama fuckin proved that there] but I did not expect somethin' like this from you. I didn't even expect you to like girls, but-- not like that you didn't like girls and only like guys kind of way. Just that you didn't like anyone.

[... nailed it.]

...Back at home, you'd be right. It never even crossed my mind, and it probably never would. But I don't think I'd have a bunch of friends or a job and a home, either.

[Everything's different here. Everything's more... Emotional.]

Here, I didn't really think about it either until I got to know Tsukiyama. I never felt the way I feel about Tsukiyama with anyone else. ...But that applies to everyone, too. I like you in a different way than I like Ryuunosuke or Cilan. Still, I figured that if I did like someone, that's what it would probably feel like, so I confessed to him.

Before I did, Black told me that White had a thing for me. She confessed to me after, and I... Even now, I'm not sure if I like her like that, but I care about her, and if I'm not hurting her, I don't think there's anything wrong with giving it a try and finding out.

[...So. Gold isn't entirely wrong? He's got no damn clue what he's doing, but he's sure as hell doing his best.]

[That's so much but it boils down to "I learned feelings in a feeling place," doesn't it.]

... So basically, it's nice to have some downtime for once in your life.

[Since Silver's always been someone that has to keep moving by nature (which Gold learned about himself, too, it's nice to be able to travel as freely as he has been able it, it's been fun) and he's always had something to do, but this world pretty much put a stop to a lot of that. There's other things to be busy with, like a job and friends and whatever the hell happens with the Arehtei, but for the most part...]

How'd... you know, how'd you figure that it was different? With Tsukiyama and stuff. What made you think you might've liked him like that?

...I'm not really sure. Like I said, I feel different about everyone I care about. But if I had to pinpoint one thing, it's probably... I always want to improve myself when I'm around Tsukiyama. Not because he thinks there's anything wrong with me now, but... I want to keep up with him and be his equal.

[The only other person he feels that way around is Goooooh holy shit do not say that, whatever you do, do not say that.]

[its ok bro the World has a crush on gold]

... So he's your rival.

No. You're my rival, and I want to compete with you be better than you. With him, I just want to keep up. There's a difference.

[There's totally a difference!]

I was gonna say, if you'd been without me so long you'd started to look for a new one I would've been pissed.

[... Maybe. Probably, actually, though he's saying it lightly like it's a joke.]

I got the feelin' he thinks of you as an equal already though. Like, an equal with seriously questionable life choices who has little to no concern for himself, but an equal.

...But Tsukiyama's smart, and knows how to talk to people, and he's really strong. And I mean really strong. He's teaching me how to fight.

[And he's just going to gleefully skip over the questionable life choices and the little to no concern for himself because it's true and Silver knows it.]
