A/N: Lovey Dovey Yellow. Oh how fun it is to ship her.

:3

Diamonds and Rubies,

such are overpriced amenities,

but how about the

simple beauty of

Amber?

Fear not, he tells her. For there is comfort to be sought in the act of intertwined fingers. And when she feels scared, he'll be there to hold her close. She has changed him in more ways than countable, unnumbered as the stars or the grains of sand littering the beach. For that he will always be in her debt, or more accurately, he will be under her spell, chained to her for ever and eternity. Because there is something about her that makes even the most retched of boys walk the straight and narrow.

Gold really neverunderstood how one small smile and the innocent gaze of a petite blonde had changed him from being a (as Crystal deemed it) "player" into someone who would lay down his life for one special girl. She really is special.

The greatest treasure to be held in those namesake eyes, Gold found (and much to his surprise) was that look of childish trust. Because, in all reality, she should've known better than to stand so close to Gold. But the Breeder found that, despite his desires and intolerable actions, he just couldn't treat Yellow the way he did with other girtls. Something about her peaceful personality halted him in his tracks.

The thing he loves most about Yellow is the fact that she doesn't feel the need to be such a... girl. As Gold would put it. He absolutely loves how she rocks that baggy tunic and black turtle neck without a care in the world that what she's wearing isn't the newest and hottest thing on the market. She doesn't spend hours on her hair and yet those golden locks never cease to shine. Yellow's not like other girls (namely serious ones) who tend to make everything complicated and complex. She would much rather be out fishing, an activity she spent much time teaching to Gold.

He loves fishing with her, because that is when he's really aware of the beauty of Yellow and the surrounding world. He was quite the pro at casting, but no matter the accuracy of his throw, the fish never bit. He spent a fortune on the finest and most expensive lures to catch the largest fish and impress Yellow. However, those trinkets failed.

It was a wonderful day when she grinned and told him the secret was the lure that couldn't be bought, only taught. Patience, much to Gold's horror.

But spending time at the lake with Yellow was no punishment. On the contrary, he always waited anxiously for those early Saturday mornings. And his first catch came sooner than thought. A miniscule Magikarp that paled in comparison to Yellow's larger fish. Gold may have complained a little about the size, but all annoyance stopped when the Healer took his hand and tossed her Lumineon back. Gold did the same with his pathetic Magikarp and gazed into her matching eyes.

Fear not, she said. For there is beauty in all things, no matter the price tag or size. Gold thought that she might've been talking about herself, but again, Yellow's not that kind of girl. And Gold loves her for it.

Who needs expensive diamonds and costly rubies, when out-shined by both of them is the unomplicated loveliness of amber?

A/N: Oh gall. I love this shipping so much.

I waited till Friday! :)
