Okay. First off, I think I said I'd have this out within the next two weeks of the original. But I fell ill. I'm sick. So I was at times feeling too bad to work. Sorry.
Second this stroy is kinda half AU. It's Pokemon, but with real world elements, i.e cars, and brief mention of American currency.
I guess ChosenShipping comes up in this story at a moment or two, but the relationship between Silver and Blue is strictly platonic. That being said, they're close enough to casually say they love each other, in a family sense.
I made Yellow's eyes purple in this story. Don't ask why, I'm working on something else to explain that. =\
And now for the Previously On segment... Silver!
Silver: Oh right sorry. Previously on Beach Day.
Yellow: Hi guys.
Gold: Jeez you look great.
Yellow: Thank you.
Gold: Well he didn't have to punch me.
Silver: I wasn't staring at her ass.

Beach Day
Part 2: Feelings
Silver grabbed her arm again as quickly as he could, "No! No, it's okay."
Yellow looked astonished to hear him say that, "But you're bleeding!" She objected.
"It's just a nosebleed, I'm fine." He insisted.
"But-"
"I'm fine." Silver interrupted.
"It's my fault, let me help." She continued.
"No, I-I'm alright." Silver said standing up, "I'll be alright I'll just wash off in the bathroom." He said walking away before he made any more of a scene.
"Good one Yellow." Yellow mumbled to herself.
She had just decided Silver was a good person like Blue said, and that they could be friends after all. And then she had to go and ruin it. Yellow thought she might've embarrassed him or hurt his pride or feelings and so forth. She didn't feel so great about herself anymore and sadly watched as Silver hurried away.
Blue walked under the net and kneeled down next to Yellow, "Don't worry about it," She honestly didn't know what was going on with Silver, but she did know something was up with him and would ask when she got the chance. She stood up, "he's… Just used to dealing with things on his own." Blue attempted to explain Silver's actions.
"Blue." Yellow mumbled.
"Hm?" She replied.
"I don't feel like playing anymore." Yellow said disheartedly.
"Oh, come on Yellow, it was an accident."
"I know, I just, I still don't wanna play anymore." Yellow continued sadly, "Maybe I could just watch?"
Blue smiled sympathetically then smiled happily and said; "Yeah okay, the guys are down one now anyway."
"Thanks." Yellow finished.
"Hey, so what's going on?" Red asked walking over.
"Yellow's gonna sit out, so it's three on three now." Blue explained.
Everyone got back to there spots and Yellow walked off to the side next to a pouting Emerald. He didn't talk much. She tried to start a conversation every now and then but ultimately, Emerald was just annoyed that he was short and therefore knew he couldn't play. The other Dex Holders wouldn't have minded but Emerald didn't even want to try. Throughout her time next to him, Yellow at the very least made him feel better about himself and that was a plus (I don't want to write this scene out; I don't think I could pull it off and make it interesting. I have trouble writing Emerald, which I'm working on getting better at but still).
The game went mostly the same way, Gold and Crys had the same position on each team since they had equal skill, but they didn't usually hit the ball to each other. Ruby and Red were doing good as well like Blue was on the girls' side. The three boys tried their best against Sapphire's random outbursts of strength. It was still an even match, neither side scored a point. Then Sapphire jumped in the air. She couldn't jump as high as Silver could but she could still jump pretty high. She spiked the ball like Yellow had. It came down fast and hard, harder than before at least. It went straight at Gold who was notably intimidated. He punched the ball with his "I'm playing pool" style, and a loud pop and a slightly louder crack was heard echoing around the beach.
"AH!"Gold yelped in pain before falling to the ground.
Yellow gasped and ran out to see if Gold was okay. The ball slowly deflated. Red had came up to Gold to see if he was okay and Blue and Crystal were walking under the net.
"Good one Sapph." Ruby teased.
"Shut up Ruby." Sapphire said back, walking annoyed to the other side.
Emerald also hurried to see if Gold was alright, they had a bond and Emerald was concerned. Yellow carefully moved her hand up and down Gold's upper arm and forearm. Crystal held her arms out to keep everyone at decent distance from Gold and Yellow. They all knew that they should just let Yellow handle it. She was a healer and had experience with injuries. He gripped it tightly but always recoiled his hand, putting pressure on his arm by holding it so tightly was unbelievably painful. Yellow recognized this wound.
"Oh my god, you broke his arm!" She exclaimed.
The group looked at Sapphire, "Heh heh." She laughed, smiling nervously.
Gold face was fixated in an expression of pain. His eyes were slammed tightly shut and teeth gritting.
"Hold as still as you can Gold." Yellow requested.
She used her healing powers yet again. Inside Gold's body, bone and marrow reattached, and the pain got better and better rapidly until it was gone. Gold sat up, still gripping his arm. He inspected the arm to see if it was okay. Not that he doubted it would be, he just always had to double check whenever Yellow healed him.
Ruby picked up the flattened ball in his hand, "I guess we're done playing." He said.
"I'm sorry." Sapphire said.
"It's not your fault, it was an accident." Yellow said sweetly.
Sapphire just sighed and was the first to walk off to find something else to do. Ruby soon followed.
"Thanks Yellow." Gold said.
Yellow smiled. Red, Crystal, and Emerald checked on Gold, asking if he was okay and so forth. Blue grabbed Yellow by the shoulder and began to guide her back to their towels.
"Wow Yellow." Blue began, "Those powers of yours really came in handy don't they?"
Yellow smiled for a second then looked up and frowned, she turned her head down, "Silver doesn't think so." She said sadly and a little bit regretfully.
"Oh Yellow." Blue started. She thought to herself about the situation and wanted to talk to Yellow, "Let me tell you about Silver."
_
Silver stared out at the water. Every Dex Holder's Water Pokémon were out in the ocean playing, splashing, swimming. The other Pokémon were either roaming the beach or in the case of most of them, asleep in their Poké Balls. Silver stared out trying to calm himself and get the thoughts of today out of his head. He was having the hardest time in the world doing it though. Trying to forget Yellow. Which was made a hundred times more difficult when he noticed she wasn't anymore than about seven or so yards away from him. She was talking to Crystal, though Silver couldn't make out what they were saying.
She would occasionally look out at the Pokémon in the water as well, particularly her own, "Be careful Omny, Chuchu." She mumbled.
Silver turned his attention back to the water and tried with all his might to ignore "Little Miss Beauty of a Thousand Angels" as he subconsciously started calling her. It wasn't exactly easy. He tried thinking of other things. His father, Blue, how hot it was, she is hot, no wait! He couldn't shake her image from his head, no matter how hard he tried. It was actually getting annoying. He saw Crystal walking away from the corner of his eye and turned briefly to see Yellow just looking out at the Pokémon. Yellow was a very different kind of trainer, she was a different kind of person in general. She treated her Pokémon in a motherly way, and hated to see anything, whether she was attached to it or not get hurt.
Silver couldn't stop thinking about her, no matter how hard he tried to. Her shiny golden-yellow blonde hair, pulled up into a ponytail and her bangs pointing outward to her side while also curved around her forehead. That lone lock of hair that stood up in the front. Her clear, milky looking, smooth, and silky feeling skin. Her smile that seemed to be warm enough to melt an iceberg. It was nerve racking. It was unbearable even. He looked over one last time when he heard her make a noise.
He turned in time to see her stretch her arms backward over her head and yawn. His face lit up like a Christmas light. What was it about her body; her stretched out body that distracted him so much? Why was her image so powerful? He felt something runny around his mustache area. It ran onto his lips, and he could taste it. Blood.
"Oh damn it not again!" Silver exclaimed, grabbing his nose in his hands.
Yellow turned her head upon hearing him. She put her arms down and jogged over to Silver in concern.
"Silver?" She said when she got close to him. Silver froze, "Are you okay?"
"Um."
Before Silver could say anything else, Yellow moved closer by a few quick steps and her hand glowed purple again.
"Silver this is my fault, please let me help. If I hadn't hit you, you probably wouldn't be bleeding right now. Please, let me patch you up." Yellow pleaded.
"No, I'm alright. I guess I just have a blood vessel too close to the face or something." Silver objected.
"Silver, this is my fault, let me help. Please." She asked of him again, reaching her glowing hand out toward him again.
"Yellow, it's not your fault. Sometimes people just get nosebleeds, like if it's hot out." He tried again.
Yellow paused for a second and continued, "Well be that as it may, or not be, I could still easily heal that right now."
"I'm fine already!" Silver said in an annoyed tone of voice.
Yellow looked upset. She thought she had hurt him somehow and now he didn't want to talk to her. She was only trying to help. It felt like Silver hated her.
"But-" Yellow tried to object.
"I'm fine just… Keep your distance okay?" Silver interrupted.
Silver didn't realize just how offensively his words could be taken. He didn't know how much he hurt Yellow just then. He was basically telling Yellow to go away. He said it wasn't her fault but then, why did he want to be so far away from her? If he wasn't upset about the volleyball accident, then what else could she have done?
"…Okay." She said silently.
She slowly began to walk away with her arms behind her back. She had gotten five steps away when Silver moved his hand from his nose for a second. It was still bleeding considerably.
"Damn it." He mumbled.
Yellow knew he didn't want her to, but she couldn't help herself. She had to help him. She felt guilty about hitting him still and she knew that helping Silver was the right thing to do, even if he didn't want it. She quickly walked up behind Silver and held her right arm out and released one of her heal orbs. Silver felt the blood flow halt and the blood that hadn't escaped the nostrils went back to where it was before. Silver felt the dried blood on his lips evaporating and disappearing. He was healed very shortly, and out of the fear that Yellow read his mind, the adrenaline pumping apprehension briefly took him over.
"DAMN IT!" He yelled, swatting at the air where the purple energy had come from.
Yellow recoiled her arm quickly. Silver's angry expression changed to one of shock and regret. Yellow looked so hurt, her eyes were almost watering.
"Y-Yellow, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell." He apologized.
"No, it's okay. If you didn't want help I should've just left you to it." She said, holding her arms up to herself.
Without another word, Yellow walked off, with her head down and each hand holding tightly onto the opposing upper arm.
"Smooth move red head." Silver mumbled, quoting Crystal from an earlier statement.
He watched Yellow walk. Her movements were capturing him like they did before. Graceful yet no different than anyone else's it seemed. It just made him feel worse. He turned around and walked off, looking for somewhere to think to himself. Somewhere to be alone.
_
Blue rested on her towel, letting herself bask in sunlight. She needed to keep her tan up after all. She would open her eyes when she heard footsteps or a nearby voice, just to see who it was. It wasn't any exception when Yellow walked up. As Blue opened her eyes, she instantly noticed Yellow's saddened look on her face.
"Yellow?" Blue said.
Yellow didn't answer. She walked around her and sat on her towel, bringing her legs up to her torso, resting her arms on her knees and her chin on her arms.
"Yellow what's wrong?" Blue asked softly like a concerned mother-slash-older sister.
Yellow sighed heavily, "Well. I know you told me Silver was shy but…"
"What happened this time?" Blue asked sympathetically.
A lot seemed to be happening with Yellow and Silver today. Blue knew a day trying to get them to be friends was going to be eventful, she just didn't expect this barrier to be between the two of them. She always figured they could get along well if they gave each other the chance, and they still could. Blue just didn't think it'd be this… Difficult.
"Well…" Yellow began, "I just think he hates me."
"He does not, Yellow." Blue objected.
"Well he doesn't seem to enjoy my company very much." Yellow replied.
"Why not, what does he do?" Blue asked.
"He wouldn't let me heal him for one, he got another nosebleed. And two when I did heal him he yelled at me. He says he didn't mean to yell but… I don't know." Yellow said disheartedly.
Blue thought to herself for a second, before smiling and putting a hand on Yellow's shoulder. Yellow looked over at Blue and found comfort in her smile. Just as well, she knew it meant Blue had a plan.
"I think there's just something Silver's not telling you." She said.
"Like what?" Yellow asked.
"Don't worry about it, I know what to do."
_
Silver laid on his towel again and was looking up at the inside of his umbrella like before. One leg bent and facing upward, and his hands behind his head. He was mostly trying to avoid thoughts of Yellow and was debating whether or not to tell Blue what was going on right now or if he should wait until later, namely after the beach day. He felt he would simply lay there until it was time to go. He heard footsteps in the sand nearby, getting closer, but he didn't bother to turn and see who was coming. He felt a pressure on his torso and before he knew what'd happened, he saw Yellow's face looking directly at him. She was smiling and her eyes looked… Playful?
"Y-Yellow, what're you doing?"
Her expression changed to her usual, happy one, "Well, I was talking to Blue. And she said there was something you weren't telling me." Her eyes went to their playful, bubbly look again, "Something I think you should've told me sooner."
"Really… What'd she say-"
"Shhh." She hushed him in her soft sounding voice, putting a finger over his mouth, "Don't talk." She said softly and looking at him sympathetically for whatever reason she had to be sympathetic.
"Yellow?" Silver said quietly.
"It would've been nice to know you felt that way about me. I really wish you'd told me sooner."
"But I didn't tell you at all." Silver thought to himself.
Yellow moved closer, her eyes began to close and her lips puckered slightly. Silver stared at her, unable to decipher what to do next. He eased and as she very slowly moved towards him, he lowered his eyelids and opened his mouth a sliver. Just as he saw her eyes completely shut, he closed his own and their faces moved ever closer.
"Hey Silver!" He heard someone yell.
He was suddenly snapped back to reality. It'd been another daydream, another fantasy. He was leaning up by the wall of the bathroom that was facing the sea. He turned his head to see Blue walk up to him from his right side around him and rest on the wall as well to his left.
"Hey Blue."
"Listen Silver, I need to talk to you." Blue said.
"What about?" Silver responded.
"Well, about Yellow."
_
"I hurt her feelings?" Silver said in confusion.
"Yeah, so if you would, be a sweetheart and tell her you're sorry." Blue said.
"I…" Silver stammered, Blue didn't realize how difficult her request was for him, "I can't." He said, turning away.
"Why not? Come on Silver I've said it a thousand times, you would really like Yellow if you gave her a chance." Blue said, completely unaware of just how right she was when she said, he'd "really like" her.
"I'm sure she's a nice girl." Silver said dryly.
"Silver, you love me right?" Blue said.
"Yeah." Silver said casually.
"Then trust me. I mean to you she's just there, and to her you come off as kinda violent."
"Oh really? Gee, I wonder why." Silver said in an extremely sarcastic voice.
"Okay, so you're both kind of right, but-"
"Look, can we please just stop talking about Yellow?" Silver asked of Blue.
"No, you hurt her feelings." Blue groaned.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't tell me, tell her."
"Why don't you tell her?"
"She's really sweet, like you can be when you open up to people. Just tell her you're sorry."
"What does she have to be upset over?"
"You keep pushing her away and telling her to give you space, she thinks she did something wrong. She thinks you might be mad because she accidentally hit you in the face with a volleyball."
"I'll apologize when I've done something wrong."
"How hard is it to say you're sorry? Why do you keep avoiding her?"
"Just because." Silver said looking to his side down at the sand.
"Are you blushing?"
"What?" Silver's eyes jolted back at her.
"Oh my gosh, you're blushing!"
"I am not."
"Silver, I know what a blush looks like."
Silver turned away, "I'm not blushing."
"You like Yellow."
"Nuh-uh."
Blue hadn't heard Silver say "nuh-uh" in that tone since they were little, "Ha! 'Nuh-uh', thank you for proving my point."
"I don't like Yellow." Silver insisted.
"You're totally into her." She said, still in her "oh my gosh" tone.
"No I'm not!"
"I can't believe I didn't see it before."
"That's because there was nothing to see."
"I mean I knew you two would get along but now that I think about it, you would make the perfect couple." She began all but ignoring what Silver said.
"We would not!"
"So how long have you liked her?"
"Leave me alone." Silver finally said, turning his head away.
Blue looked remorseful, "Silver you know I don't mean to tease."
"Yeah, I know." Silver said.
"Soul siblings remember?" She reached her arms out, "Gimme a hug." She said apologetically. Silver leaned over towards her in response, "What is that? That's a lean, now I want a hug." She insisted.
Silver brought his arms up and hugged Blue.
"Ah, that's better." Blue said.
She and Silver were around the same height, though Blue was a little bit taller.
"So Silver you wanna talk about this?" Blue asked, letting go of him.
"Not right now." Silver objected.
"Is there a reason you like her or do you just think she's hot?" Blue asked playfully.
"Blue." Silver silently complained.
It'd given him something to think about actually. All this time he'd been blushing over her form, her body, her beauty. He of all people knew that that was no way to decide you "like" someone. But he wasn't sure he wanted to like Yellow. He was just… Lusting over her.
He was "pulling a Gold". What other reason was there to like her? A shallow thing to think and Silver was sure he could find something he liked about Yellow. She was nice enough to him when they first met and Yellow helped him to find his roots. Then again even if he was only attracted to her, Blue always said they'd get along.
"Silver, come on. I'm pretty sure there's gonna be something on your mind right now that you're not gonna remember later." Blue objected, "It's best if you talk about it now."
"I, I don't know." Silver said blushing.
"Silver, you're gonna have to say this, and I've known you for as long as either of us can remember. Just talk about it let it out." Blue insisted.
"I-I don't know! She just showed up in those wrap around sunglasses she calls a bikini and…"
"And you couldn't keep your eyes off of her." Blue said.
"I guess. And then she's telling me to put sunscreen on her back and then while we're playing volleyball she gets way too into my personal space. Does she make a habit of that? Because when she healed Gold she just plopped on top of the guy like she was about to-"
"Silver." Blue said sternly.
"Sorry." He said quietly.
"I didn't think her outfit was anymore revealing than any other swimsuit." Blue mumbled to herself, "Look, Silver, you're going to have those kinds of feelings towards people."
"I know." Silver all but whined, putting his head down.
"But that's no reason to avoid people. Silver look at me." She said.
"Sorry." Silver had let his gaze turn elsewhere.
"It's no reason to avoid people, especially people like Yellow. And you really did hurt her, so I would really appreciate it if you just told her that I told you that you hurt her feelings, and that you didn't mean to and you're sorry." Blue finished, Silver heavily sighed, "Would you please do that for me? For her?"
Silver had actually felt a little guilty. He didn't mean to hurt her, especially not after recently discovered… Emotions. He wasn't sure he could face Yellow with a clear mind. But he knew he still had to apologize.
"Okay," Silver said silently, "but can I at least have a minute to myself?"
"Well of course Silver, the sooner the better, but take as long as you need." Blue reassured.
She walked away smiling, knowing Silver would do the right thing. Silver on the other hand wasn't so sure. He had already tried to clear his head of Yellow and the less than welcome thoughts she incidentally brought with her. He had tried a hundred techniques, but it didn't do him any good. How was he supposed to apologize to Yellow if he couldn't even approach her?
He decided it was best to just say he was sorry and leave. He looked around and saw her walking in his direction her head turned and gazing out at the sea. Her eyes seemed a little puffy, barely noticeable but they were there. Silver was amazed. He hadn't hurt her that much had he?
Silver noticed she was walking very slowly, completely ignoring everything in front of her. He gathered his courage and nervously walked over to her. He was lost in the way she looked even now, after everything that'd been said, even as the gap was closing between them. Her shiny hair reflecting the sun that was mostly in the west by now. And her sparkly eyes. He was lost in her.
He figured she would hear him coming, but between his blank mind and hers, he didn't realize just how close they'd come. He stopped quickly, but she still hadn't seen him there.
"YelLOW!" He tried to warn her of his presence before she walked right into him.
She quickly backed up, blushing, "Oh, erm. Silver, I. I'm sorry I. I should've watched where I was going." She said sadly and embarrassed.
She was sure Silver was still mad at her, and walking into him probably didn't help. Nice though he may have been. She wasn't sure anymore.
"Uh Yellow." Silver said nervously, Yellow looked at him, her head down and her eyes up at him, "I… I heard that I… may have…" He tried to get the words out of his mouth while Yellow turned her head up and looked dead at him, making him more nervous, "B-Blue told me that I… Hurt your feelings." He finally finished.
"Oh no, Silver, I understand. I should've just left you to it." Yellow said.
"No, Yellow. I'm sorry, that wasn't what I was trying to imply at all."
"Really?" Yellow said in a hopeful tone and voice, well Silver was certainly being nice now.
"Yeah. I just…" He couldn't explain it, how do you explain to a girl you were ogling her from afar this whole time?
"Just what?" Yellow asked.
"I… It was… Remember when you heard me yell at Gold?" He said nervously.
"Mmhm." She replied.
"Well… We weren't talking about Crystal, we were talking about you." He said fairly quickly.
"You were staring at my butt!" She suddenly exclaimed.
"What? No! That's just what Gold thought; I was looking at all of you." Silver defended as he wondered what brought her mind suddenly to that.
"What does 'all of me' mean?"
"I didn't mean it like that!"
"Is Gold just leaving innuendos in your head?"
"Me, you're the one who constantly poses like it's for Victoria's Secret."
"…I can't believe you just said that!" Yellow exclaimed, saddened and offended.
"No! Wh-what I meant was."
"What? Silver I accept your apology but why are you so jumpy?"
"I'm not jumpy."
"Then what's the problem?"
"Nothing."
"But then why-"
"You know what!" He yelled, "I came here to say I'm sorry, and that's about as sorry as I'm gonna get! I don't know how I could've hurt your feelings when I didn't DO ANYTHING! I didn't ask for your help, and I'm not jumpy, so quit asking what the problem is! You know what? The problem is you, with your skimpy little outfit and constantly bugging me! So why don't you just keep your distance alright!" Silver screamed, panting lightly.
Yellow's eyes were watery and she felt herself trying to hold down an oncoming sob from her throat down to her stomach. She looked at him as calmly, or more accurately as blankly as she could, "Okay." She said calmly and disheartedly.
It wasn't until she turned to her left and began to walk away that Silver realized what he'd done. He looked shocked and upset. He saw many of the others, unlike before, had turned their attention to him. He saw Blue in front of him about two yards away. She was taken aback as well, she had no idea Silver would react this way.
She sighed and walked up to him, "Silver." He held his head down, "…I-I better check on Yellow."
Silver just stood there. Could he screw up anymore from here? When he turned his head back he saw many people out of respect or embarrassment or what have you turned their heads away. Save for Gold and Crystal. Gold just looked at Silver, he felt half sorry for him and half disappointed. Crystal wasn't as close to Silver as Gold was to either of them, but he was still her friend and she was concerned. The two of them were also close to Yellow, having saved Gold's life, been Crystal's friend and just being an easy person to like.
Silver turned around and walked into the restroom, shutting the door and locking it. No one but Blue was allowed to see him in a moment of weakness if he could help it. He gritted his teeth, brought his hands to his eyes and then quickly ran them through his hair. He was so angry with himself he punched at his reflection in the mirror. It was old and broke easily against his fists. He heard gasping sounds outside the blurred window. He knew it was Yellow.
_
Yellow walked behind the back wall of the bathroom that faced away from the ocean. She pressed her back against the wall and slumped down. She curled up and put her head down, her eyes to her arms. She knew the tears were coming and just wanted to let them out somewhere else. It would be bad for Silver if she were to cry in front of the others, they might be mad at him. And she knew Silver would feel worse, and he might not know how to handle it. She would just let the hurt out where it couldn't hurt anyone else. Anyone else of course, except for Blue.
"Yellow?" She said softly standing but a foot and a half away.
Yellow didn't lift her head, "He hates me." She said in a sad, hoarse, sobbing voice.
"He doesn't hate you." Blue said.
"He hates me." Yellow repeated, her voice getting slightly higher pitched as it got harder to control herself.
"No he doesn't." Blue insisted, Yellow didn't reply, "Didn't he say he didn't mean to hurt your feelings?"
"I know he didn't but he still hates me." She said and then sobbed some.
Blue sat down beside Yellow and put an arm around her. Yellow brought her arms up, shifted her legs to be down on her knees and held tightly onto her sister figure. She cried leaning her forehead on Blue's shoulder. She had no idea that Silver could hear her from the other side of the wall.
"Look Silver doesn't hate you and even if he did, why does one person's opinion matter so much to you?" Blue asked.
"He's a nice person, you raised and taught him to be, and I made him hate me." Yellow said very high pitched before letting go and sobbing strongly.
Silver imagined the words a hundred thousand times in his head, "I don't hate you Yellow."
"Look Yellow," Blue started, catching both Silver and Yellow's attention, "Silver, he…"
Silver panicked, his heart racing, "Blue, don't say it." He pleaded in his head, "Please don't say it. Don't tell her."
"Blue stop." Yellow said, "I know you think Silver and I could get along still and maybe we could but I did something wrong and he doesn't like me for it. And you keep saying he's shy, he's used to things; he didn't mean to hurt my feelings. And he didn't I know, but anything you say now won't make a difference."
She just cried tightly holding Blue, who was left with nothing else to say. Silver leaned against the wall, with one arm crossed and the other arm's hand against his face.

The sky was a beautiful combination of pink, orange and red. Yellow had calmed herself and her eyes were very puffy. Almost everyone had asked if she was okay. Gold promised to talk to Silver, and Green offered to help in ANY way that he can. Though Yellow insisted none of it would be necessary.
Crystal asked if she needed anything. She thanked her and assured her friend she'd be fine. It was nearly time to go. They had fun despite Silver and Yellow's encounters. Yellow was the last one still on the beach.
She loved the beach, she loved a lot of places and a lot of things, and she got the chance to try her black swimsuit like she wanted. But today was… Less than what she would've liked. She looked down at the sand sadly. She still didn't feel her best but the thing she wanted more than anything right now was to know what Silver was thinking and more about what happened today.
"Hey." A voice from behind said in a tone that wasn't quite but was at least trying to be gentle.
Yellow jumped and then turned around and saw Silver, standing there with half open eyes and a tired expression, "Hi." Yellow said meekly and sadly.
"How are you?" He asked blankly.
Yellow sighed, "Well I'm doing better."
"Listen Yellow I'm really sorry. And I mean it this time." Silver explained.
"You meant it before didn't you?" Yellow asked.
"Well, I wasn't as sorry as I am now."
Silence fell over them. Yellow didn't have the courage to turn around and accept that Silver didn't like her. Especially not after Blue had spoken so much about him and how well they would supposedly get along. Although the theory wasn't holding up like Blue or Yellow for that matter had hoped.
"You know the reason I was so jumpy when you were healing me is because, supposedly you can also read minds. Is that true?" Silver broke the silence.
"If I choose to channel brainwaves and brain patterns telekinetically to my own brain, they'll act as another set of eyes; they don't make any sense until my brain deciphers them. And even then, I use my viridian power to do all of that." Yellow explained.
"Yeah, so I thought you might read my mind if you healed me." Silver admitted.
"No, it's a separate power in itself." Yellow said, "So you were worried I'd read your mind?" She asked.
"Sort of." Silver said.
"Silver, I would never use my powers to mess with you like that. And it doesn't have to be your exact thoughts, it could be your memories or emotions or any combination of the three." Silence ensued again; it felt like they could only look at each other.
"But, that alone doesn't explain everything… Does it?" Silver broke the silence again.
"Well I'd like to know a little more on the subject." Yellow admitted, "But your fine the way you are, it's okay."
"…Emotions and memories huh?" Silver said.
Yellow nodded.
Silver mustered every last ounce of his nerve to say something he knew he'd regret, "Well, I've been thinking it over…" He started.
"Yes?" Yellow said sweetly.
"I… I think you deserve to know what's been going on today, with you and me."
"So you're going to tell me?"
"No…" Yellow looked at him curiously, Silver took a silent deep breath and continued, his stomach twisting, "I, want you to read my memories."
"What?" Yellow said in silent shock, "Silver, a-are you sure?"
"I want you to understand, understand that I…" He stopped himself.
"I like you". He couldn't say it. But that's what he wanted her to know.
"…Well, okay, only if it's alright with you Silver." She said.
"Okay, just, look at my memories and emotions, a little bit before you came over to Gold and I to say hi when you first got here."
"You're absolutely sure?" Yellow asked sweetly one last time.
"Yes." Silver said quietly.
"…Okay."
Yellow's hand glowed its familiar, beneath the skin, purple aura. Silver closed his eyes and Yellow brought her hand up to his forehead. Then she put her powers into action. Everything Silver felt, she herself either experienced or understood and she saw everything that happened to him, fantasies, actions, conversations, all of it (imagine that Yellow knows everything in this fic up to this point).
When she withdrew her hand, her mind was assaulted by all that she was gathering; she stared at Silver in disbelief. He opened his eyes, preparing for the worst. She was absolutely shocked, she brought her hand up to her mouth and quivered, she looked away out of bashfulness and confusion. While she tried to absorb the magnitude of all that'd happened, Silver averted his eyes to his right, avoiding looking at her.
"You're gonna break my heart now right?"
"Silver I…" Yellow didn't know how to respond.
Silence. The longest silence they had so far. Time itself seemed to be stuck, just to watch them. They tried nervously and desperately to control their rapidly whirling emotions. Neither one could leave; this was very far from over. Someone had to say something.
"So… I have the beauty of a thousand angels huh?" Yellow murmured.
Silver's face turned scarlet, "It was actually 'beauty that surpasses that of a thousand angels'." He corrected.
Yellow flushed a deep shade similar to Silver's. Yellow held her arms up to herself looking to the side. Silver gave in to the childish temptation to look at her. He noticed something that concerned him.
"Yellow are you shaking?" He asked.
"A little." She said exhaustedly.
"Is what I've said disturbing to you?" He asked.
"No! No Silver it's not. It's shocking but it's by no means upsetting." She said frantically before calming herself, "My powers take up a lot of physical energy. And I've been using them a lot today. You know how I learned to describe my powers outside of saying 'it's magic'? I read Green's mind once and in addition to learning a dictionary's worth of new words, I fell asleep for a week." She explained.
She sounded very exhausted. She even lost her footing, and started to fall over. Silver quickly caught her as she fell forward towards him. They blushed a dark crimson at the feeling. Yellow made a mental note that Silver's arms were stronger, and more firm than she'd expected. She stood up quickly. They had yet another moment of silence and trouble looking at each other.
Yellow put her head down, "Silver?"
"Yes?" He responded.
"Are there any reasons you would like me besides the way I look in this swimsuit?" She asked.
"Well, you're a very sweet girl." He told her, "If there are any reasons other than that… Well, maybe… I would like to figure that out."
Yellow bolted her head up, "Silver, are you saying?…"
"If you want to." He said quietly.
He was asking her on a date. She had to think about it, and think hard.
She put her head back down, "Silver?"
"Yes?"
"…If we were going out… And if I wasn't pretty… If I wasn't beautiful… If I wasn't cute." She said, losing her grip and getting closer to crying every second, "If I was ugly, if I was a hideous thing you couldn't stand the sight of… Would you stay with me? Would you still love me?" She asked wholeheartedly.
"Of course." Silver said.
Such a thing would make the relationship very difficult, but he would have already made that commitment. Yellow lifted her head up. Wide eyed, bubbly and with a truly happy smile. The first one she had for a good few moments. Her usually purple eyes were glowing, she'd used her powers to read his emotions, she knew he was telling the truth.
"That's all I needed to hear." She said.
Silver didn't believe it. Yellow had just taken a chance, she had no idea she could use her powers that way. Silver's blush that'd been slowly fading strengthened to a bright red. Yet he seemed calm.
"It's kinda funny." Yellow said, "All this trouble over a black bikini."
Silver stepped closer to her, "Yellow, the trouble isn't the suit." He held his hands at the bottom of her cheeks and lifted her head up more so her face matched his; she lit up at his touch, "The trouble is me… I really am sorry." He said softly.
"I know you are." Yellow said back nigh-smittenly.
Silver lowered his head and brought his face closer to hers, "And I'll prove it too."
In a bizarre moment of passion, Silver having his feelings and Yellow knowing every bit of them, Silver kissed Yellow on the mouth, who contently accepted and returned his kiss.

Blue had put the last of her things in the car. She couldn't help but think about Silver and Yellow. She knew Silver didn't mean to explode, and so did Yellow sort of. She wasn't sure what the ride home was going to be like. She knew Yellow would always forgive Silver. She just didn't know what would happen with and between the two of them from this point onward.
"Hey Blue you alright?" Red asked.
"Oh, I'm fine but I'm worried about Silver and Yellow." She admitted, "I mean you know the craziness that happened earlier. A lot's been going on today. They're my best friends and I thought that it would be nice to get them to be friends too, and now it doesn't look like they'll get along." She said, "Which is only made worse by the fact that Silver likes her and she might never know that." She muttered beneath her breath so only she could hear.
"Well then, why are they kissing?" Red asked.
"Why are they kis-, wha?"
Silver had broken his own heart and depressed himself, and Yellow bawled her eyes out thinking Silver hated her. And now they were kissing? About five minutes later? It wasn't easy for Blue to believe. Red pointed towards the beach and due to the idea of her best friends kissing and her generally curious nature, she walked a few steps over to investigate.
"Red, what are you talking abou- Oooooooooohhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gooooooooooodneeeeeeeeeeeess!" He tone got higher with each of those three elongated words, and a wide smile formed on her face at "goodness".
There they were like Red had said. Yellow's arms around Silver's back and her body leaning in, resting on him. Silver had his arms carefully around Yellow's neck, his hands fiddling with locks of hair. And of course the icing on the cake, they're lips softly connecting open mouths, jaws moving slightly, she could only assume there was tongue involved.
"Oh my gosh." Blue said.
"What, what'd I miss?" Gold said, stepping out of the car and looking over the rail down at the beach. Gold started snickering before jogging over to Green's car, "Hey Crys! Guys!" He shouted to Crystal, Green, Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire.
"Looks like they're alright to me." Red said.
"Oh I don't know," She began, walking quickly behind Red and wrapped her arms around him, resting her hands on his chest, "don't they make you… Envious?" She said flirtatiously.
"Erm… Hey you want a soda?" Red asked quickly and walked forward out of Blue's grasp, "I'm going to get a soda." He finished walking away quickly.
Blue just sighed in annoyance.
_
It was still a while before they broke away. A trail of saliva connected between them and broke quickly. Their eyes slid little less than half open. Silver could feel her skin in depth; he could see, hear and feel her breathe. It wasn't a fantasy this time. This was real. He gave a small smile prompting one of Yellow's wider smiles. They stayed in each others arms for a second.
"So…" Silver started.
"…Silver." Yellow's smile faded back to a normal face.
"Yes?" He replied, letting go of her.
Yellow let go of him and looked to her side before facing him again, "I just need some time to think. Can I have some time to think it over?"
It was happening a little suddenly. Yellow wasn't sure what to think or what she wanted. She needed time to herself to grasp and understand the situation.
"Yeah." Silver replied.
"Thank you." She paused for a few seconds, "We should probably be going."
"Yeah." Silver agreed.
Yellow started walking backwards, "Bye."
"Bye."
Silver looked down at the sand when Yellow turned around and walked. She didn't get far before Silver spoke up again.
"Hey." He called. She turned her head, looking behind her, Silver smiled, "You'll wear it again right?"
Yellow smiled back, "I don't know, it's caused me a lot of trouble today." Neither said anything for a second, "…Maybe." Yellow finally said, "I'll think about it."
With that she walked again. Silver watched her, absorbing her essence once again, and paying close attention to her movements. Only this time, Yellow might've been expecting that.
_
Silver walked with his hands in his trunk pockets. He was on his way back to Red's car for the ride home. He stopped when he saw Blue looking at him with a gossip, "I know your secret" look.
"What?" He asked.
"Did you apologize to Yellow?" Blue asked in reply.
"O-oh yeah, we-we made up." He explained.
"Oh really. So, was she a good kisser?" Blue said before she burst out giggling.
Silver blushed and stared embarrassed and disbelievingly at Blue, "You-You saw that?"
"Well, Red saw it and then he pointed it out to me and I said 'oh my goodness' and then Gold came out and saw because he was curious, and then he told the others." She explained.
"Did he now?" Silver said darkly.
Blue giggled, "Nice going Silver." She congratulated.
"Thanks." Silver said calmly smiling, "Hey Gold!" He hollered walking to Gold's direction with a hand behind his back.
"What?" He hollered back, wanting to joke and give Silver a hard time about what he'd seen.
"I pulled my money together and got you something."
"Whoa seriously?"
"Yep. Here ya go." Silver swiftly punched Gold across the face to the ground.
"OW! I thought you said money was involved!" Gold complained.
"It was, I'm holding a nickel." Silver said, holding the nickel he'd found a while back.
Blue giggled again, "Silly boys."
_
They were kissing again. Just like on the beach while Silver laid over the top of Yellow. His arms around her by the shoulder area and her hands pressed on his chest. It was a moment between pillow talk.
"Silver, I'm really glad I said yes." She said when they broke away.
"Not as glad as you're about to be." Silver said in a seductive tone he learned from Blue.
Silver fearlessly kissed her again. Before it could get intiment, the phone rang, and everything went black. Silver's eyes opened. He was having a dream. Not a fantasy, not a daydream. Just a dream. The phone rang again snapping Silver into reality.
"Hello Rocket's residence." Silver said.
"Silver?" Came Yellow's voice.
"Yes?"
"Your last name is Rocket?" She asked.
Silver smiled, "Hi Yellow."
"Hi Silver." She said happily, "I would've come over but things have been getting really hectic, and also, I'm a little nervous." She admitted.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah so I called instead."
"How'd you get this number anyway?"
"I asked Blue for it. Anyway Silver."
"Yes?"
She hesitated, "I… I have my answer."
Silver felt his heart beat fast, "And?"
"…I'd love to."
The End
well, that was that. I'd appreciate it if you comment(faving it doesn't tell me you liked it. It might just tell me you've seen it, maybe you're keeping it there as a reminder of things to rant and complain about or that you like it for the pairings but not the story itself). Or you can comment on the previously on segment. Or both! yes both... Please? =)
Okay you don't have to. But it would be very nice of you.
