You know that feeling you get as soon as you wake up? That groggy, lazy feeling that just tells you that this day is going to suck immensely? Yeah, that's what today felt like, but I guess you can't always go with your gut.
I had to force myself to get out of bed and take a quick morning shower to help myself wake up. I leaned against the wall tiredly as the water heated up.
I wasn't in much of a mood to do anything today, not even do my routine training. I wasn't in the mood for a lot of things lately. I mostly preferred to just stay in my house...
Yawning, I stripped myself of my clothes and stepped into the shower. The warm water beat at my back, and I quickly felt a lot more energized.
I shook my head and sighed, forcing another yawn down. I began to clean myself and after a few minutes I was dressed and plopped onto my couch. Weavile was sitting in my lap, leaning against my stomach. He seemed to be a lot more sluggish today too.
"You don't feel like doing much today either, huh?" I inquired. He replied with a small grunt, watching the t.v. with hooded eyes as I flicked through the channels.
Weavile suddenly tensed against me, turning his head toward the front door. His ear pricked, and he hopped off the couch, calmly walking to it.
I rose an eyebrow. "What is it? Someone's coming?"
He gave me a simple grunt in reply once more. I rolled my eyes and got off the couch, making my way to the door. I opened it, and was met with the cheery face of...
Blue...?
"Hey, Silver!" Her face lit up as she smiled, gently waving.
"U-uh... hey, Blue." I murmured. "Come in." I moved to the side, as did Weavile. She thanked me and walked inside. I closed the door behind her and followed her into the living room, where she was sitting on the couch.
I wasn't exactly in the mood for any company, but I could handle Blue. She's the easiest person to talk to, and isn't obnoxious. (unlike someone I know)
"So, anything new?" She asked, starting up small talk. Weavile hopped onto the couch and crawled onto her lap, nuzzling her arm.
"No, not really." I mumbled, slumping on the couch. She pouted in a childish manner and nudged me in the side.
"Sit up, Silver! There's no reason to be such a grump! Plus, you have company over and you need to exhibit some manners."
"It's just you." I mumbled again. She scoffed in a sarcastic manner. I smirked to myself. We hadn't seen each other in a month or so. I missed our conversations.
"Um... so how's Gold doing?" Blue asked.
I sputtered. Gold? "Why are you asking me about him?"
"Well, he contacted me the other day asking how you were. He said he hasn't seen you in a long time and he was a bit worried. " She began petting the top of Weavile's head, who closed his eyes in approval.
He was worried...? I huffed, pushing the thought from my mind. "Well, I'm fine so tell him to leave me alone." I grumbled.
It was true I hadn't seen Gold in a few months. But it was purely on purpose and for good reason. I'd been avoiding him ever since I realized that I...
"Yooo~ Earth to Silver~?" I was pulled out of my thoughts once Blue called my name, waving a hand in front of my face.
"Oh, uh, I'm sorry what?"
Blue sighed. "What is with you today? You're totally out of it. Did something happen between you and Gold? Is that why you're ignoring him?"
I gave her a weirded out glance, trying to pull off my normal 'I dont give a shit about anything' facade. "Nothing happened, we just haven't been talking."
Blue deadpanned. "Excuse my French, Silver, but I can smell that bullshit from a mile away."
I flinched. I should've known Blue was shrewd enough to see past that.
"Let's just change the subject, okay?" I breathed. Blue rolled her eyes.
"Fine but I'm bringing it up again later. For now... let's play a game!" She clapped her hands together, eyes wide.
"That depends on what game you want to play."
"Hm..." She furrowed her eyebrows, thumb and index finger placed under her chin. "Oh! Truth or dare? That's always fun."
I sighed, picking the remote back up and flipping through channels again. "Sure, whatever." She's probably expecting me to pick truth so she can get more information out of me. I rolled my eyes. Even if she wanted it, I wouldn't give it to her.
"Okay! So, I'll go first. Truth or dare, Silver?"
"Dare."
She clicked her tongue in annoyance. "I thought you were gonna pick truth..." She mumbled under her breath. I heard the sound of her rummaging through her purse, and I let my curiosity look over.
"What are you doing?"
"Looking... for something for a dare..." She gasped. "Oo!" I watched as she pulled out a small, rounded candy wrapped in a dark blue wrapper. "You have to eat this~" She cooed mischievously.
"Um... isn't that a rare candy?" I asked nervously. I heard that those could make you really sick... and that's the last thing I need right now.
"Well, yeah. You too chicken to do it?" She sneered.
I frowned. Like hell I was going to be mocked for something so stupid. I took the candy and unwrapped it, putting it in my mouth. I tried so hard not to immediately gag, for the taste was awful. I squeezed my eyes shut hard for a moment, coughing as I swallowed it. I felt Blue rubbing my back. I thought the taste was bad, but then an almost unbearable pain formed in my stomach, and I let out a pitiful groan.
"Are you okay? Was it really that bad?"
"I-I'm fine." I managed to choke out. I ignored the pain as best as I could and it eventually faded away. "It was just really, really gross." I gave her a reassuring smile, and she sighed in relief.
"Well, that's what you get for picking dare." The sudden ring of her pokegear interrupted her, and she picked it up and answered it. "Hello?" Her azure eyes lightened up. "Oh, hey, Gold!"
I tensed. Great. Now Gold's on the phone with her. I was trying to get her to forget about the subject of Gold.
"Yeah, he's fine he's just not feeling well." She smiled.
"If he asks to come over tell him no.". I muttered.
She rolled her eyes. " Don't worry, Gold. He's fine... No, you don't have to come over. Better yet... how about you two meet up later!" She cheered.
"Blue!"
"Come on, Silver. You two are best friends and you haven't seen each other in months. I think you two need some one on one guy time." She giggled. "You guys could meet up at the park~" I heard some chatting on the other line and Blue hummed in agreement. "Alright, then its settled! He'll be there!" She hung up, and I gawked at her.
"... What?"
"Why would you do that!?" I cried, completely losing all my nerves. I didnt want to see him! Oh god, this is the worst...
"Silver, why are you so hung up on not seeing him? He's your best friend!"
"That doesn't matter!"
"Silver, just tell me what's wrong.. " She placed a hand on my shoulder comfortingly.
I took a few seconds to relax and compose myself before speaking. "It's... complicated..."
How do I tell her that I think I accidentally developed feelings for my best friend who is also a guy and is totally into women? Do I just flat out say it? But won't she explain how wrong it is? Besides I have no chance in hell with him. He's not the kind of person to go for someone like me, especially since I'm not a girl. He'd probably tease me about it or make fun of me if I ever told him...
Ugh, just tell her! Blue can keep a secret and she's your closest friend anyways! She wouldn't judge me... right...?
"I think I... uh... like... him...?" I murmured nervously.
She showed no expression except for a raised brow. "You. Silver. Mr. Don't even breathe in my direction. You... like? Someone?"
"I-I... uh..."
"And... of all people..." She stared at me for a moment before she squealed. "I knew it!"
That certainly wasn't what I was expecting.
"K-knew what?"
"That you liked him! Oh, I could just see it on your face every time you hung out with him! I mean I thought it would take you way longer to realize your feelings but this is okay, so I don't-"
"Wait, you knew? How? I never told anybody!" I was in shock. I hid everything so well, not even Blue should have been able to tell!
"It was completely obvious, Silver."
I flushed. And she sighed. "Well, things have gotten quite exciting, but you have to meet up with lover boy at the park!"
"Blue, please not the nicknames. It's bad enough that I have to go." I groaned out.
She hummed. "Silver, I just want you to know that if you don't tell him how you feel, you'll regret it later. And I know it's scary, but it's the right thing, okay?"
"I..."
"Let's go! Run along run along!" She pulled me to my feet and practically shoved me out my own door.
"B-Blue, wait I don't-"
"Not a word! I can't believe what you're putting poor Gold through. He's been worried sick for weeks you know! You could at least see him Silver. And if you don't show up I'll have my Granbull find you."
I groaned. Now I have to see him. No exceptions just me and Gold. Alone.
Together.
I facepalmed. This... is going to turn out horribly.
Ayyyy so yeah I'm rewriting this completely and by myself. Please don't compare the two because honestly I didn't like how it turned out :/ it was all over the place and unorganized but I guess that's expected when you write a story with someone else.
So some things will be different. I'll go into a bit more detail with the whole pregnancy and stuff instead of skipping ahead. Plus Silver is no longer a crybaby pushover (I can't stand it when people make silver a wimpy little kid that cries like a girl it drives me insane tHATS NOT HOW HES LIKE. MAKE HIM STOIC LIKE HES SUPPOSED TO BE)
Rant aside, I'm happy to be writing this, as it was my first story I actually thought of. (hello 13 year old me thank you for this gift yes)
My updates won't be consistent but I promise you I will finish this. pinky swear.
See ya next time~
