Chapter 19

Author's note: Just a warning. This next part is gonna get a bit… dirty… which is why it's rated T. So if you don't meet the requirements (are underage, haven't gone through your loss of innocence, etc)… don't read this. I actually have no idea if this is in anyway correct, but I'm throwing my sanity out of the window and letting my mind roll. Enjoy!

When Silver opened his eyes, he saw that it was almost night. He looked out a window from his bed at the setting sun through the trees.

He tried to sit up, but he winced in pain. His chest, his stomach… god, it hurt so much.

He looked down and saw two things. The first was his torso. He had an enormous scar across his body, and several stitches that were hidden underneath white bandages. They'd already stopped the bleeding, but it still hurt like hell.

The second was Yang. She was next to his bed, asleep, head resting on the edge of the bed while she was on the floor.

"She really does care about you."

He looked up to see Tai standing at the door. Then he realized that the room was different. It was all wooden structure, and looked like a home, with a table and chairs, bookshelves and a bathroom to the side. "Where am I?"

"You're on the island of Patch. Specifically, my home."

"How did I get here?" He rubbed his head, thankful that his helmet was still on.

"General Ironwood had a ship ready to take us here. You got surgery while you were on board. But that's the least of our worries." Tai walked over to him and handed him his scroll. "Look."

Silver took it. There was a news channel running and he turned up the volume.

"...following the attack on the OMA Silver during the Vytal festival this morning, a new army has subsequently taken over massive areas of the kingdoms. This new faction are calling themselves the Allegiance of Steel, and despite their lack of dust materials are incredibly talented and efficient with their own weaponry and military. As said before, large areas of all four kingdoms have been claimed by them, with the militaries of said kingdoms struggling to take their territories back. In other news-"

Silver shut the scroll with a snap, waking Yang. "This is bad…"

"What's bad?" Yang sat up, rubbing her eyes, before seeing him. "Silver!" She leapt forwards and hugged him, making him gasp.

"Yang! Scar! Hurts!"

"Oh! I'm sorry." She pulled back, but Silver kept holding her close. "I'm… glad you made it."

"So am I..."

Tai smiled and headed for the door. "I'll leave you two to… catch up. You two have been through a lot today."

After the door closed, the two remained silent, before Silver spoke. "I'm sorry…"

Yang just leaned forward, tears now spilling from her eyes. "I… it… it was h-horrible… s-seeing you there, a-and I couldn't d-do anything…"

"I know…" He rubbed her shoulders and hugged her as tight as his wound would allow him to. "I'm sorry… But I'm here… I'm fine…"

"B-but-"

Silver interrupted her, holding her face to his and wiping her tears away. "There's no point on questioning what could have happened. No dwelling on the what-ifs. The only thing that matters is here and now. I'm alive and safe. And-"

That's when he remembered. He spotted his armour, clean of his blood, on a chair and pointed. "Could you bring that here?"

Yang nodded and went to grab the chest-piece, before bringing it back. Silver fiddled with the top left a bit before a compartment sprung open, and he pulled out a small yellow box with silver ribbon. He handed it to her. "Happy birthday, Sunflower."

She opened it. Inside was a small necklace. It's chain was made of gold and it had a small gold sunflower on it with a small diamond centre. She looked at it, before pulling it out and putting it on.

Silver chuckled. "Do you like it?"

Yang answered Silver by kissing him. On the lips.

Despite them being together and the flirts, they'd never actually kissed mouth-to-mouth before. He slightly panicked as he felt her lips against his.

She pulled back a bit, breathing deeply. "Don't. Ever. Scare me like that again…"

"I-I… I won't." He replied.

She nodded, before leaning in again for another kiss. This time, as they touched again, her lips parted slightly and she tilted her head, and their tongues made contact.

He leaned back on the bed as Yang pushed herself on top of him. He grabbed her hips and she put her hands around his neck. They pulled themselves against each other.

"Umm, Yang? It's… my first time…" He told her nervously as they pulled apart.

"It's mine too." She smiled, and they kept going. He reached down and lightly bit her neck, flipping so he was on top of her. She smiled as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

The night passed by in a blur, yet seemed to last forever. And anyone looking in through the window would probably have seen a white glow resonating from the bed as they made love.

Blake walked down the corridor of the house early the next morning. She was always an early riser, often reading books as early as three in the morning. But as she walked from the toilet, she walked past Yang's room. She decided to check in with her partner, but when she walked into her room was empty.

She knew that the next most likely place was with Silver, so she walked to the end of the corridor and went to Silver's door. She found it unlocked, and as she walked in she opened her mouth to greet them.

And froze.

There on the bed lay Yang and Silver together, Silver holding her close to his chest with her back to him, her arms wrapped around his. What was more shocking was their lack of clothes, which were strewn around the floor, particularly near the bed.

Blake's face went red as she quickly put two and two together. She quickly checked the corridor before closing the door. She then turned back to the two and watched them, thinking what to do.

Thankfully, their bodies were mostly covered by the blanket, but only up to their waists. Blake noticed a small necklace around Yang's neck, the only article of clothing on her.

Blake decided to act.

"Yang?" She whispered, leaning in. "Yang?"

She slowly opened her eyes, before looking at Blake. She smiled. "Heya, Blake."

"Are… You… What?"

She looked back a bit at Silver, who was still asleep, before looking back at her. "Yeah… we did it. By the way, those smut books of yours really helped a lot."

Blake blushed again. "They're not… I mean… isn't this a bit… soon? Was he alright? I mean, his scar..."

"I don't know, but after a while he seemed fine." Yang's eyes went unfocused, an expression of pleasure on her face. "It was so good…"

"Yang. Stop." Blake rubbed her face, trying to get the image of her partner with Silver out of her head, without much success. "What's your dad going to think about this?"

"I don't care…" She shifted slightly, snuggling closer to him, head under his chin. That was when Silver woke up.

"Oh… Hey Blake." Silver did seem embarrassed, but he just pulled Yang closer to him. "I forgot the door was unlocked."

"So what are you going to do?" Blake felt awkward talking to her friends while they were naked. "I mean, Silver, what's Tai going to think?"

"Well… what he doesn't know can't hurt him." He shrugged.

"I can't believe you two." Blake shook her head.

"Don't worry, Blake, you'll get to fix your virginity with Sun." Yang teased, causing Blake to turn red again. "Trust me, you'll love it. It's great, especially the first time."

"You know what? I'm out." She walked out the door with her hands in the air and face scarlet, letting it shut behind her.

The two laid in bed laughing for a bit before settling into a comfortable silence. Silver spoke. "I think we should get up now."

"I don't wanna." Yang whined, trying to hold on to him, but Silver smiled and sat up. He rubbed his scar as he stood up straight and stretched, wincing in slight pain. It didn't hurt as much as the day before, for some reason.

"Me neither, Sunflower." He kissed her forehead before standing up and walked to the bathroom in his room.

Yang stared after him for a while before looking at the necklace still around her neck. She smiled before standing up and grabbing her clothes off the floor. "Best. Birthday. Ever."

Blake walked down the corridor, trying to get the image out of her head and the blush off her face.

Really? They did it? She just didn't know what to believe anymore. Then again, Yang WAS now 18 years old, so it was legal, and Silver was as well. But Yang's teasing with Sun? They weren't even a thing! That little b-

Blake was still deep in thought when she slammed into someone in the corridor, who grabbed her to stop her from falling. "Blake? Are you alright?"

She looked up to see Sun, who'd just come from the bathroom. He only wore a pair of sleeping shorts, exposing his chest for the world to see. Blake turned red at the sight and pushed him away, not-too appropriate images flying through her head. "I-I, yeah, um... I g-gotta go!"

She rushed past down the stairs, leaving Sun to stand there incredibly confused.

He went back to his room which he was sharing with Neptune. He was currently sat on his own bed, researching on his computer. "What's up?" He asked.

"Well, Blake's acting weird."

"How so?" He looked away from the screen, eyebrow raised.

"Well, when she ran into me, she blushed when she saw my chest."

"Isn't that the normal reaction for girls? You're, like, the reason for our team's fan club."

"No! She's almost never acted that way before, and I always have my abs out." He flexed for emphasis. Neptune rolled his eyes.

"To be honest, I think we have bigger issues at hand." He gestured to the screen, which showed Vacuo soldiers marching through a settlement somewhere in a desert towards a distant battlefield, smoke rising into the sky.

"... Fine..." Sun flopped back on his mattress on the floor, which he had spent the night on, and sighed. He used his tail to grab a book from the shelf next to him, but he couldn't concentrate. He thought about reasons why she would act that way, but he shook his head. 'There's no way.' he thought.

Oh kaaay…. Wow… I seriously let my imagination run free…

I actually had a more… descriptive scene in the writing, but I decided not to post it. Not really what this story's about. But I'll try and get some other action in the next few chapters.

Also, for those who noticed, when Yang was talking with Tai in the past chapter before the Vytal Festival, she did say that she was 18 years old. But that was a mistake on my part. NOW she's 18 years old, she only said that to Tai because there was less than a week before she was that age.
