Summary: they're both liars, so why not be liars together?
Gold, Silver muses, is a liar. Silver doesn't like being similar to the overly bright idiot who also happens to be a fellow PokéDEX Holder.
Unfortunately, Silver is a liar too.
Lies slip from his mouth without a second thought, almost as if the thought conjured is the truth. It might be a half truth but it is still a kind of lie.
This is complicated.
Silver takes a sip of his lemonade and cuts off this train of thought before Gold decides to take over his thoughts all together, settling on watching his Weavile attempt to figure out just how to open an ice cream wrapper.
He's never okay when he says he is. Neither Silver nor Crystal like this at all. After doing something dangerous-not to mention impossible-Gold will smile brightly and say he's fine. He almost never is.
Then Silver will just roll his eyes and call him an idiot, acting like he generally isn't giving a flying fuck for Gold's safety but mentally his heart is racing and he's scolding the idiot for putting his life in danger for the millionth time.
Crystal, on the other hand, will drag him to his feet, her eyes strangely moist, and smack him over the head while giving him a high pitched lecture, something that Silver dearly wants to do but he'll sound like a girl if he does. Gold just takes it in stride.
"Yo, Silver!"
Silver looks up as Gold stands in front of him, grinning widely, Gold bent over to match Silver's sitting height. Instinctively Silver draws back a little, if just to put some distance between them. He's too close for comfort.
He pretends to be annoyed. "What is it?"
"Can we go on a ride together?" Gold asks innocently, golden eyes sparking hopefully. "Please?"
Those eyes. Silver hates them because it makes him feel like a horrible person when he denies the owner's wishes. "No. Go with Crys."
"She already left with Green!"
"And a good reason for that too. It's five."
"Please! I'll let you pick!"
"No. Speaking of the time, I think I'll be going too."
Gold looks crestfallen, but he follows Silver anyway as they head for the exit, their Pokémon following after them. "Then can I have your lemonade?"
"No."
"Please? It's my favorite!"
"Liar. Your favorite is your mother's lemonade." Silver gives the drink to Gold anyway.
A/N: I hope you liked. :) Btw, Green is the girl.
