Reason 11: How their hand always finds yours
(SoulSilvershipping)
Lyra didn't consider it lying, it was more… okay it was lying but there couldn't be any harm in it.
"Just put the blanket down here." Lyra told Silver.
"Tell me again about the story you're doing." Silver spread out the red and white checkered blanket on grassy floor. He knew there was no story but went along with then lie anyway.
"There might be a hidden conspiracy in this part of the forest and I'm not going to let anyone have to scope before me." Lyra couldn't lie to Silver, so she said there might be a conspiracy. She reported only the truth.
"Let's let our pokemon out to play?" They both called out their pokemon.
Her Marill ran out from behind her and tried to poke her head into the picnic basket Lyra brought along. Silver lay back on his crossed arms, and stared up at nothing in particular. He turned a little to the side to look at Lyra. She was arranging the cushions in a basket that was holding a pink and white egg. He recognized the egg from a couple of weeks ago. Gold had come to him, saying that the Ursaring he had traded Gold had an egg. Silver had no use for it so he had just put it on her door step without telling her it was from him.
Lyra leaned over him and blocked his view of the sky, "What are you thinking off?"
"Nothing," he grunted and turned to his side, away from her.
"What about now?" She skirted around him to face him.
Deciding not to answer her, he turned to look at the sky again.
Lyra lay down next to him, "What do you see?"
"Clouds." He answered shortly.
"I see a…Horsea!"
"Ponyta." He said smiling a little.
"Oh, I made us some food to eat while we wait for the enemy to show up." She went through her bag and took out two bento and set his in front of his. Silver sat up and look suspiciously at the box before opening it. It wasn't as bad as he expected, but it was no masterpiece either.
As if Lyra could read his thoughts, she reassured him, "Crystal helped me make it."
Lyra had begged Crystal to teach her how the cook the day before and it took several tries she finally made something edible. Holding her breath she waited for Silver to take a bite and hopefully not die. It would crush her if he didn't like her food. Silver hesitantly took a bit of the rice into his mouth.
"It's good." Silver took another bigger bite.
"You really like it?" Lyra beamed and Silver knew that his opinion meant a lot to her. He smiled at that.
"Aren't you going to have any?"
"Oh, yeah." She opened her own and started to eat and talked at the same time. Silver mind began to wonder but he was still vividly aware of Lyra beside him. He felt more than saw Lyra shift the lay next to her. He turned to look at her. She was lying on her side, with the egg tucked against her stomach.
She must be tired; Silver thought to himself, they had hiked up this spot which Lyra probably picked the day before. The view was nice; they could see the whole city from their place on the mountain. Weavile poked Silver's ribs, trying to get his attention. Silver opened an eye and Weavile pointed to a brush. Silver had a feeling they were being watched for a while now and his suspicions were confirmed when he saw the brush shake.
He got to his feet and stood in front of the sleeping Lyra in case whoever was hiding in the bushes tried to get to her. Maybe the story Lyra was writing wasn't a lie. Arceus he wished he paid more attention when she was explaining the story.
He gave Weavile a subtle nod who threw a shadow ball at the brush, which was deflected back with a water gun attack. He threw himself in front of Lyra to protect her. How could Lyra sleep though al this? Silver waited for another attack but none came. Carefully, Silver crept to the brush but the culprit wasn't there.
Sighing he went back to lie next to Lyra. He smiled when she shifted and took his hand in hers. He didn't like holding hand, but never noticed when she did it. Eventually he slept too.
Silver didn't know if it was the sun or the sound of movement that woke him. He sat up and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. The sun was setting and he wondered how long he had been asleep.
"You're awake!" He turned to see Lyra smiling. He knew that smile and wondered what she outrageous plan she had made in her mind. He felt a breeze and heard wings flapping. Before he could react, his Honchkrow perched on his head for a few seconds before flying off.
"W-what..?" Silver reached on his head and touched a flowery crown. He looked around to see all his other pokemon with similar flowery decoration.
"Do you like it?" Lyra's face shone with hope.
No matter how much he loved her he couldn't lie, "It's a bit girlie."
"I know but it looks cute on you." Cute? Silver didn't want to be cute.
"Look, the egg is hatching!" Lyra ran to the basket where the egg was shaking. Silver looked at Lyra glowing face, captivated by the egg and felt his heart swell.
"It's a Teddiursa!" Lyra hugged the little bear, who struggle to get out of her tight grip.
Silver put a hand on her arm, "You're squishing him."
"Oh, I'm sorry." She put him down, "I'm going to name you…"
"Teddy?" Silver suggested.
Lyra smiled at the suggestion, "I love it. I thought you weren't really one for naming pokemon."
Silver just shrugged at her comment. "By the way, how did you find this place?"
"Oh, Blue suggested it to me."
"Blue, huh?" He should've known but decided that he'll deal with her later. Lyra leaned on his shoulder and watched the sunset.
"I think this is the best day of my life." She laid her hand over his.
"But we didn't do anything." Silver pointed out.
"Sometimes that is everything."
