I'm finally updating! Chapter 7 is here! I'm gonna start updating this more the next few days, as I've been busy with my other story, Heart of steel.

A month later, Silver and Mephiles were waiting at the house for Blaze to get home from work. Mephiles was upstairs in his room, doing some writing, and Silver was downstairs, watching television. Mephiles often was upstairs at this time, a time he used for his meditation and poetry. Not to say, he always did yoga and drank a cup of tea afterwards. He was just beginning to get into his yoga when he heard an anguished cry that sounded like Silver.

Mephiles got up, rolled his yoga mat up, and went downstairs. Silver had his eyes focused on the T.V. When he noticed Mephiles, he looked straight in his eyes, a look of extreme sadness in his features. This made Mephiles wonder what was wrong, Silver pointing to what he was watching. It was a news flash about some car crash. He then noticed Blaze's name was among the ones who had been killed.

Mephiles couldn't believe it. By this time, Silver was whimpering, tears starting to form in his eyes. Mephiles wasn't the kind of person to know just what to say, so he pulled Silver close to him and hugged him, rocking him in an attempt to comfort Silver, and to give himself time to think of what had happened. I know I wanted to kill her, but this was not the way it was supposed to happen...i hope Silver will be okay.. Silver had become silent, his eyes devoid of all feeling. He looked like he was in a trance even, something he often did using his psi powers when he either was very upset, tired, or needed to think.

Mephiles hoped Silver would be alright, knowing how much he would miss Blaze. By the time the funeral arrived, Silver was still a wreck. He hadn't eaten or slept in the four days since it happened, choosing to mope about it the whole time, not coming our of his bedroom till Mephiles dragged him out for the funeral. Silver stayed in Mephiles' arms the whole time, wanting comfort. Even Mephiles had tears in his eyes, knowing how well Blaze always took care of the two of them.

The week after, Silver was starting to return to normal. The only difference was he wouldn't leave Mephiles' side, even sleeping in the same room with him at night. Mephiles took advantage of this, slowly getting Silver to love him. Silver seemed to not mind either, often showing his affection to him. He remembered when Silver had fainted when Mephiles had held his hand, him now wanting to. In fact, he had held hands with Mephiles since the day after the funeral.

Silver seemed to really adore him, purring when he was stroked. Mephiles could only laugh at this. That next day, Silver approached him, sitting on the couch with him. "Do you love me Mephiles?" He gave a hopeful look at him. Mephiles couldn't believe it! He finally had Silver as his! "I love you more than anything Silver." This made Mephiles happy. Silver had a look of happiness on his face, something Mephiles hadn't seen for some time. He thought that would be it for now, but Silver had other ideas, locking lips with him even. This shocked Mephiles, it being so sudden, but he returned Silver's affections, lightly pulling him towards him, stroking Silver's quills, which made Silver purr in contentment.

Mephiles made them both lunch, which Silver ate gratefully, as he hadn't eaten much lately. The two of them were sitting at the table in the living room. Silver seemed too quiet for some reason, Mephiles wondering what was wrong.
