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.]

I can believe smart and knows how to talk to people, but strong? Dude looks like he'd be on a magazine in Goldenrod, Silver. I ain't believin' that for a second. Is he the one that taught you those moves you did on me?

[... The admittedly cool ones that weren't just tossing punches at each other and seeing which one hits hardest.]

He is. He's incredible, Gold. You should see him when he fights.

[Oh goodness, Silver is absolutely crackling with electricity.]

[Oh goodness, if Pibu wakes up they're going to have a spark off and that won't be fun for anyone.]

You know what? If you two don't mind a spectator, sure, why not. Take me with you next time you two get together. I've been waitin' to see someone kick your ass around.

[Anything that gets Silver fired up is a treat. Gold's actually kind of pleased? Because he knows they both get fired up when they battle each other, but being able to see that is gonna be so fuckin' cool.]

I'll have to ask Tsukiyama, and we're waiting for my shoulder to get better first. But after that, sure.

[...He should probably mention that uh-]

He really beats me up, though. It's like training with Master Lance.

[Just a heads up.]

So that's where your shoulder got messed up, then. What was so hard about just sayin' so?

[Because if he really beats up Silver, if it's like Lance's training, then injuries are just part of that package.]

...I guess it wasn't.

[As long as Gold doesn't see it's a god damn bite mark, it's all good.]

[What a light air this is, completely relaxed.]

It wouldn't have been a very good introduction to that guy, I guess. Can't really blame you for not telling me that some guy who looks like a model with an odd sense of fashion beats you up tryin' to teach you to fight.

[Imagine. "Oh, you're the guy who beats up my best friend."]

Yeah. There's a lot more to Tsukiyama than an accidental injury.

[He puts a hand over his shoulder as he speaks. It's... A little warm? Just a little. But it's usually warm, so...]
