~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They had both ended breaking down then and there and afterward, Gold had fallen asleep. Silver had pouted but realized that the other boy needed his sleep. Gold hadn't looked good and crying had only made it worse, so he'd let the golden eyed boy sleep. Since Gold was asleep he'd decided to mess with the medical staff while they were waiting for the painkillers to work through his system.

They actually tried a couple different painkillers and all didn't have very good effects of Silver's mental state. One had made the redhead very giggly and he couldn't stop laughing, he found everything funny. Another one made him pass out and sleep for a good ten hours before he woke up again. The final straw for Silver and everyone else for that matter, was the painkiller that made Silver go into a depressive freak out. Silver had started out moody and slowly started getting depressed by everything, even when Gold was there. He moped and sighed dejectedly and Gold had been watching him along with the other medical staff to make sure he didn't cut himself. It seemed to go fine except for the last couple hours of it being in his system. He'd just out of nowhere started clawing at his arm, his nails having been sharp enough to cut though the bandages and skin, and yelling that, "Everything needed to stop! I can't take it anymore!"

Nurses arrived shortly after to sedate the redhead but the damage had already been done. He had to go and get more stitches seeing as he'd made himself knew cuts and had pulled some of his stitches out. Though they didn't put Silver on anymore pain killers. Gold, however, wasn't sure how much more he could take of this. He would never leave Silver alone, he just wanted to skip all the bad stuff and get on to helping the redhead get better.

But at least it was Sunday morning, tomorrow they would be going to Viridian City and Gold could find Red to help Silver. He just hoped that he could find the legendary Red and that the guy would help. He hadn't told Silver yet about his plan but he'd figured that he'd tell the silver eyed male later. Especially since he still had to try and convince the redhead to come home with him instead of going back to his house.

"Okay, Mr. Giovanni, if you'd like you are healed enough to go home today. You might still limp but that will mainly be due to your cuts and stitches. I'd recommend getting a lot of rest and not moving much. We wouldn't want you to have to come back to get your stitches redone. Especially since you have a field trip tomorrow. I also recommend not going back home for a while because home can be a very stressful environment." Doctor Stone said and he glanced over at Gold while he said it.

Silver sighed, "I really don't have anywhere else but home to go to?"

Gold looked at the redhead with pleading eyes, "You could stay at my house. Mom would love to have you come over."

Silver looked like he wanted to agree but he looked to the side, "But what about…"

"Silver, if you are worried about your father. Legally you are 18 and can go anywhere you want." a voice said from the door and Gold's mother walked in. "Gold's right, dear, I would love it if you would stay at our place. The more the merrier."

"Mom!" Gold smiled happily at his mother and turned to Silver. "Please, Silvy!"

Silver looked away before looking at the doctor. "Whatever, I just want out of here!" Doctor Stone nodded before leaving to get the discharge paper.

"Yay!" Gold hugged the redhead and Silver proceeded to push the dark haired boy away, looking away from everyone with red cheeks.

Gold grinned before turning to his mother. "So where's your newest patient?"

Gold's mother looked behind her confused before walking to the door and looking out into the hall, "Why don't you come in and say hello to my son and his friend. You'll be staying with us and you'll see them often?"

Apparently he didn't think so and refused to answer. His mother sighed before walking back into the room. "Morty's not good with social interactions, which is why I decided that it would be good for him to come here. You can introduce yourselves to him later you two."

Gold nodded and glanced at Silver when the redhead asked curiously, "Patient?"

"Yeah, mum's a therapist. Every once in a while she'll bring a patient home for sometimes a few day to months. It usually depends on the patient."

Silver just nodded before turning to Doctor Stone, who'd brought the discharge papers in for him to sign. Riley had already pulled the IV out while Dr. Stone was getting the papers, so all that really needed to be done was for Silver to sign the papers.

Silver laid down as gently as he could on Gold's bed, so as not to make his condition worse. Apparently there were only three bedrooms in the house and since Morty would be taking up the guest room, Silver has to sleep in Gold's room. As much as the boy had begged Silver refused to let Gold sleep in the same bed as him.

Especially after everything that had happened at the hospital. He'd made a complete fool of himself and he'd been acting like a child. He'd actually eaten sweets! He hadn't had sweets for years. He'd loved sweets as a child but he'd accidentally been caught by Giovanni eating what he was gonna have with one of his mistresses, the man had beaten him and yelled that if he ever caught Silver eating in front of him again that he would do much worse. Which was how his anorexia had come about.

Still it had been nice to have Gold there. It had made him happy that Gold had stayed there with him for as long as he could. But he just didn't know what to say after what he'd said Friday. He'd been drugged up for most of his stay at the hospital so he hadn't had to think about it until now.

He'd pretty much told Gold that he liked him. Sure he did but that wasn't the point. He still had that man to worry about as he'll be furious when Silver doesn't come home after days of being out of the hospital. He just hoped that that man didn't do anything to hurt Gold.

He gave a light sigh and turned over. He looked up as he noticed that someone was standing in the doorway to find Gold. The boy glanced back into the hall almost nervously before shutting the door behind him.

"Uhmm Silver? I'd like to talk about something with you." Gold fidgeted as he sat down on the bed.

Silver sat up slowly dreading what Gold was wanting to talk about. If he was going to talk about what he'd said at the hospital he was going to punch him, even with the fact he was injured.

"I wanted to tell you my idea." Gold said and Silver frowned.

Not what he'd been expecting but not bad either. "Okay?"

"Well, you know how Giovanni owns a gang yet still stays good with the law?" Gold asked.

Silver narrowed his eyes at the golden eyed boy. "I don't see where this is going, Gold."

Gold nodded, "Okay, well I was thinking of how to get you away from him without him doing anything to you." Gold tried to ignore how Silver's expression slowly got darker. "Well, it was brought to my attention that we are going to Kanto starting Monday and the rumors say that the only person who had gotten anywhere close to taking down your father is there."

Silver rolled away, "The chances of even finding Red are slim to none you know that. Right, Gold?"

Silver's whole body tensed then he felt Gold's head pressed gently across his back. It didn't hurt and it felt kinda nice but it still made him slightly uncomfortable. He still wasn't used to all the affection Gold was giving him or how to receive it.

"I know." Gold said quietly. "But I want to at least try. I don't want you to be tied down by him. You deserve to live your life the way you want without fear of being hurt. And I love you so of course I'm gonna try."

Silver blushed slightly and buried his face into the pillows. "Don't say that." he mumbled.

"Why not? It's true? I love you, Silver." Gold said calmly.

Silver blushed a deeper red and muttered, "Shut up!"

There was a pause where neither boy said nothing for a while.

Finally Gold piped up, "Silver?"

"What?" his voice was meant to sound harsh but it lost most of it's force because it was being muffled by the pillow.

"Can I stay here tonight?" Gold spoke quickly because he didn't want Silver to interrupt. "I'm not going to do anything. I-I…I just want to hold you."

Silver pressed his face further into the pillows. He wanted to say yes but he also wanted to scream no at the other. Yes, because he did like the idea of being held. He'd never really been held before. He wanted to say no because it would be embarrassing and there was what happened at the hospital. Instead of giving either answer Silver responded, "Do whatever you want, idiot. You're just going to try and get what you want anyways."

Gold smiled at the redhead's back. He wanted to laugh or aww at how adorable Silver was being at the moment but he knew that the silver eyed boy would just refuse him if he did so. He really like how cute Silver was when he was embarrassed.

Gold pulled himself up all the way onto the bed and wrapped his arms around the redhead, who immediately tensed up. Gold smirked and moved his head so he could speak into the redhead's ear, "Relax a little. You can't get comfortable if you're so tense."

"S-shut up!" Silver snarled and tried to get out of Gold's grip only to find that he wouldn't be able to without injuring himself more.

He didn't want to have to go to the hospital again and he wanted to go to Kanto for the whole week tomorrow. It wasn't only a chance to get away from that man for a week but it was a desire to see his birthplace again. Sure he didn't like what had happened to himself as a child but Kanto was actually a nice place. There was also the fact that Team Rocket had moved with them to Johto so they wouldn't harass him like they did when he was younger.

He had the feeling though that this time would be the best time he'd ever had in Kanto and not just because that man wouldn't be there.

Silver rolled over in Gold's arms, laying his broken wrist in between them and pressing his head into his chest. "You don't deserve someone like me."

Gold tightened his arms around Silver and pressed a kiss to the redhead's temple, "I don't care if I deserve you or not. I want you Silver and that is all the matters."

Silver sighed but didn't say anything in response, he just snuggled closer to the raven haired boy. After a moment Silver spoke, "You better enjoy this while you can. I'm not acting all lovey dovey with you while we are around everyone."

"Does that mean you are willing to be lovey-dovey when we are away from everyone?" Gold asked and Silver swore he heard his smirk though he couldn't see it.

Silver responded by whacking Gold upside the head with his good hand. "Shut up and go to sleep, you dunce!"

"But Silvy, that wasn't a no." Gold grinned cheekily. As much as he liked cute, affectionate Silver he still loved when Silver was angry with him.

"Don't make me kick you out of here!" Silver threatened.

"Okay, I'll be good." Gold said quickly and snuggled into the redhead affectionately.

Silver sighed as he let himself relax in the amber eyed boy's hold. He really hoped nothing went wrong while they were in Kanto. He hoped they could find Red, though it would probably be a miracle if they did, despite Silver knowing one of Red's friends. He just hoped he would hear them out and not immediately reject him because of his father. Silver gave a barely noticeable shake of his head. He was just worrying himself over something that hadn't happened yet.

At the moment he just wanted to enjoy what he had. To enjoy being held by someone that cared for him. It was an amazing thing to be held by someone that loved you. Silver snuggled even closer to the dark haired boy and let his worries and problems melt away.
