Ruby's Secret
By: Aubrie1234
They rode Lorry all the way to Littleroot Town, nonstop. As they did, Silver's injury seemed to get worse. It hurt him badly whenever he tried to move it, which was a big mistake on his part.
"Ngh." Silver said as he moved a little, wincing at the pain.
"Stop moving already! If ya keep moving whenever ya don't need to, you're gonna hurt something much more than your shoulder!" Sapphire scolded him. He just looked her in the eyes for a minute, then turned away. Sapphire sighed.
"Your not gonna listen to me, are ya?" she said. Silver just closed his eyes and said: "When are we going to get there?"
"I don't know, but ya shouldn't have changed the subject!" Sapphire told him.
"Hmph. I have a right to change it if I want." Silver retorted.
"Never mind." Sapphire sighed, going back to the front of Lorry.
I wish I could tell you the truth, Sapphire. I wish I could. Silver thought, looking at her retreating form. Soon, they reached Littleroot Town. Sapphire helped Silver get off Lorry before returning her pokemon. They walked slowly the rest of the way. A few times Silver might slow down a little, trudging behind Sapphire. He had a painful expression on when that happened. Sapphire would wait for him to catch up before walking again.
"Ya know," Sapphire started as they walked, "Ya don't have ta walk the whole way. I could bring out one of my pokemon ta carry ya the rest of the way."
"No. I told you before that I'm fine." Silver told her as he walked ahead.
Why doesn't he open up ta me? I've helped him ever since he saved me, but he's just been trying ta get farther away. Sapphire thought.
"Hey. Don't daydream and get over here. We've still got a ways to go." Silver interrupted, looking back at her. She shook her head then ran up to him. The rest of the walk was spent in silence.
Soon, they reached Prof. Birch's lab. As Prof. Birch and his assistant bandaged Silver, Sapphire told them what had happened.
"...and that's what happened, Papa. Is Silver gonna be alright?" Sapphire ended, then asked.
"I don't know, but he should be well enough to leave in a few days. And I hope that Ruby is okay." Birch told her.
"Me too. Even Prissy Boy might not be able to figure a way out." Sapphire said.
If she only knew. Silver thought. He grimaced as they tightened the bandage.
"There. Until you heal enough to defend yourself, you need to stay here. Alright, Silver?" Birch's assistant asked.
"Yes sir." he said. The next few days were spent trying to help Silver adjust to his injury. Right now he was practicing to walk on all fours without putting too much pressure on the injured shoulder.
"Ngh. It still hurts." he growled out as he moved his arm.
"Well, don't whine about it and try again!" Sapphire growled back.
"Prissy Wolf." she muttered under her breath. Silver heard that and perked up slightly. If she had looked closer, she would've seen a small smile form on his muzzle.
If she only knew how close she was with that statement. Silver thought, walking again. He didn't whine as much after that, but still teased Sapphire into saying 'Prissy Wolf'.
