The first of the many little Lyra x Silver drabbles which I will be gracing your screens with!
I recommend Reading up to Chapter 9 of my Fanfic 'Of This World' before reading these, as some things might not make sense. This is all the little fluffy happenings (like a little slice of life break) between the generally dark storyline of my other fanfic, and takes place between chapters 9 & 10.
(The full on pairing will happen in the original fic)
These might not be in any specific order, so they might jump back or forward from time to time (depending on what I want to drabble about XD).
But I will also write a small summary to refresh memories. Hope you enjoy these!
What Colour?
Lyra needs to decide on a new hair colour in order to attain her new forged trainer card, and to hopefully conceal her identity whilst travelling.
Lyra sat on one of the bucket chairs in their room, a pondering look plastering her face. They had recently made it to Goldenrod City, Silver had managed to get them both a room in one of the many hotels which littered the huge and busy city. She wanted more than anything to explore the dizzying town, but found herself sat finicking over what colour to dye her hair. So far she had to deal with hoods and stuffing all her hair into a hat - making her feel like smuggled goods. But that really wasn't far from the truth.
Her hand fell gently on Haku's head, and she stroked him gently, finding comfort in the Quilava's silky fur. He let out a purred growl, trying to restrain the fire from blooming out the back of his neck.
"Well?" Silver said impatiently as he leant his back against the far wall near the door, his arms crossed and his eyes firmly on the woman.
"Just give me a moment! I can't decide!" She snapped back, taking the act of dying her hair very seriously.
"Well, if you don't decide soon, Lyra, I'll just choose it for you. Besides, you can always dye over it if you don't like it - and if you enjoy wasting my money."
"Oh, so you'd choose for me would you? Well, what colour do you think I'd suit?" She asked intently, pulling out the bobble which previously held her hair in a high pony tail. She swished her head slightly so her silky brown hair fell past her shoulders. The action was innocent, but she couldn't help feeling a feminine power rush out with her hair. Silver turned his gaze away from her, feeling a slight blush heat up his cheeks, he actually found her actions quite attractive. The thought made him grimace as he tried to collect and answer inside his head. Lyra secretly noticed the blush, quite enjoying the newly found power she had on him.
"Blue?" Silver answered, trying to think of a colour to make her less attractive.
"BLUE?!" She retorted, so surprised that she stood up out of rage, causing Haku to fall to the floor with a thump. Haku growled out of discomfort before jumping up onto the nearest of the two beds, watching the ensuing fight from a safe distance. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
Silver pulled his hands up in defense as she stomped closer to him. "What! You asked me to choose a colour for you!" He said almost submissively, trying to calm down the enraged woman. He did not expect her to fly off the handle so easily What is it with women and their hair?!
"But blue?! Are you trying to make me look ugly on purpose!"
"Yes." He answered truthfully, seeing no reason not to lie.
"You bastard!" She shouted before hurling a fist at his face. Silver narrowly dodged it, swerving behind and securing her fists of rage in a restraining hold. If he hadn't had such decent reactions, he'd probably have a broken nose.
"The fuck is wrong with you? That nearly hit me!"
She wriggled strongly for a few seconds before calming lightly when she realised escape was hopeless. "Why do you want me to look bad?" she said between a few more struggles. Silver pulled her slightly closer in as he felt her slip slightly in his grip, determined to contain the little hurricane. Though the closeness was starting to make him feel a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't tell her the truth on this one, in no way shape or form would he allow Lyra to be his weakness. He stayed silent for a moment, unwilling to answer, but unable to come up with an excuse.
A sinister glare flashed in Lyra's eyes, she was going to win this one. She stopped struggling and fell back into Silver's arms, looking up at him with the sweetest look she could muster. "Is it because I'm too pretty for you to handle?" She purred, looking at Silver's almost bewildered expression.
Usually he would have a good comeback, but for the first time he was literally speechless "I... um - " His mutter was interrupted by Haku's restrained laughter, to which Silver let go of Lyra's arms and spun around to face the laughing beast. "Shut up you overgrown rat!" He shouted, as Lyra picked up the trash can from next to her and shoved it over Silver's head. She quickly ran to the other side of the room in a fit of laughter, feeling triumphant over the red-headed criminal as she crouched behind the side of the bed.
"You, Sir, need to work on your reaction time!" She cried, watching as he pushed the trash can off his head with one hand, a crumpled up piece of paper falling with it.
Damn she was good. "And you need to work on your passive aggression." He said with a restrained smile, actually admitting to himself that it was, in the least, a bit of fun. Lyra smiled through random laughs every now and again, then stood up from behind the bed.
"I think I've decided what colour I want to dye my hair..."
"Finally! Just so you know, If it was up to me, I would have just picked up the first one I saw."
"... Because I'd look good no matter the colour?"
"Go to hell, Lyra."
Please R&R! Hope you enjoyed it!
