Dinner was less than anti-climatic. Silver expected people to stop and stare at the champion and the gym leader or make complaints about Gold balancing a spoon on his nose. Hell, he expected the waiter to hit on him or at least flirt with him but nothing happened. Green and Red were regulars to this particular restaurant (which explain the male server. The waitresses seemed to lose focus when the two entered the establishment) and Gold's balancing spoon act was overshadowed by the old man who lost in his teeth in his chowder. The food was good, nothing to complain about there and the soft music being played was easy listening. The only thing Silver found irritating with the place was Green.
That cocky bastard wouldn't stop smirking.
He knew his turn was next and the damn bastard knew that regardless of what he was challenged to do, he would get away with something easy as they had all agreed to keep it to a level where jobs would not be lost or severe crippling would not ensue. Silver knew he could come up with something particularly nasty that would flatten that man's ego in seconds but at the same time he didn't want to emotionally damage the gym leader as well.
Perhaps I could make him shave his head. Silver thought as he sipped his coffee. He was watching Green and Gold sword fight with their forks for the last breadstick. Nah, that's childish. He decided. Green won and snatched the bread, chomping into it as Gold pouted. Red ignored them all, his attention on the birds on the other side of the window. Maybe make him cross-dress in some stupid princess outfit? He's prissy enough. No, that was copying Red's idea Silver realized as he glanced down at his skirt. Besides, Green could make practically any article of clothing look good. Damn his fucking genetics.
Gold's pokegear went off. Glancing up, Silver saw Gold raise one eyebrow before snapping the device shut. "Lance wants a rematch." He explained to the questioning looks. "I told him I'm busy in Viridian."
Silver groaned and face palmed as Green sighed. "You do realize he's going to come to you right?" Green pointed out. "When he wants a rematch, he wants it now."
"Yeah well I'm busy. He can wait." Gold huffed and shoved a forkful of pasta in his mouth.
Silver shook his head. Lance would undoubtedly come down from the league to find Gold to challenge him. Silver just hoped that that the dragon master didn't notice him in his haste to battle Gold; the man had a thing for redheads and Silver had had more than a few uncomfortable encounters with the man. Needless to say, Silver just wanted to avoid him especially more so this trip around as he was dressed in this…outfit. Perhaps if he could get out of this getup before Lance showed up, he'd feel more confident in snarling out insults to keep Lance at bay.
Silver sighed. There's no way anybody could feel confident in a maid's uniform. He thought sourly. After all, clothes made the confidence levels. Isn't that what TV commercials and salespeople told everybody? He blinked and then a smirk began to creep onto his face. It was perfect. The perfect dare for Green motherfucking Oak.
About an hour later, they all left the restaurant, bellies full and comfortable. The sun was just beginning to set over the tops of the Viridian Forest, the sky a fantastic mix of pink, purples, oranges and blues. Despite the sinking sun, the air was warm and as they stopped on the bridge overlooking the Viridian River, a cool breeze offered a refreshing alternative.
"Hey Silver, you got a dare for Green yet?" Gold asked covering a yawn. Green and Red perked up and looked at Silver who was peering over the bridge's railing at the dark waters below.
"Yeah. Do you?" Green smirked, leaning back against the railing. Clearly not worried about his possible humiliation, he yawned.
Silver smirked and straightened up as a pair of twins walked by, one of them calling out to Green in greeting. He waited for Green to wave hello at the boys before he said, "I double growlithe dare you to jump in the river. Buck ass naked." He gestured to the railing. "Right now."
Gold choked on his spit and Red raised his eyebrows. Green shrugged. "Is that it?" He wanted to know. Silver nodded, not bothering to mention his other half of his plan. "Seriously?" The gym leader glanced over the edge of the railing, guestimating how high the drop was. "All right."
Gold couldn't keep the grin off his face. "You don't mind showing your ass to the public?" He asked as an office worker walked past them.
Green had already pulled off his jacket and was pulling his shirt off. "Nope." Red seemed unfazed by his boyfriend stripping in public for all to see and merely blew his bangs out of his face. The gym leader began pulling his shoes and socks off, tucking the socks into his sneakers. It was only once he was in his boxers (Eevee evolution themed Silver was amused to discover) did Green's ears turn pink.
Gold snickered as Green folded all his clothes up neatly and handed them to Red. "Nice shorts dude."
Green smirked and stretched his arms above his head, prepping himself for the jump in the icy cold waters below. Gold shut his trap when he saw the lean muscle flex and ripple beneath the perfectly tanned skin. Despite being clad in only his underwear and the giggles from a few bystanders, Green seemed to be perfectly at ease. "Thanks." He told Gold.
"We don't have all night." Silver reminded Green.
The gym leader rolled his eyes and removed his boxers much to the bystanders delight before he folded them up neatly, adding them to the pile Red held. Gold and Silver both felt their eyes roll down, their cheeks darkening in rosy bloom as they discovered the well endowed Oak family linage. Silver looked away immediately, a scowl crossing his face as he crossed his arms but Gold continued to stare.
Green didn't give them much time to sightsee as he climbed up onto the railing. He turned and faced his onlookers, earning wolf whistles before giving them all a hearty salute and promptly did a back flip off the railing into the dark waters below. He resurfaced to hear the applause and waved cheekily back up at his friends.
Silver faced palmed. "Well that went well." He muttered. He'd expected Green to balk or get embarrassed; not work the crowd and enjoy himself. Green's clothes were shoved into his hands and as he looked up in confusion, he was just in time to witness Red vault over the railing to join Green down below. The only difference was that he was fully clothed.
"The fuck?" Silver stared while Gold laughed, clutching his stomach. What the hell was Red thinking?
"Gold!" A familiar voice called. Silver and Gold turned to see Lance approach them, the entire elite four trailing behind them. The crowd was dispersing, the show over for the night. He raised his hand up in greeting and Gold waved back. Lance's eyes then wandered over to Silver and the red head caught the predator like sparkle that occupied the dragon master's eyes.
Without a second thought, Silver shoved Green's clothes at Gold and jumped over the railing. Gold blinked in confusion as he looked down at the pile of clothing that now occupied his hands as Lance sighed in disappointment. The other members of the elite four rushed to the railing to see if Gold's companion was all right. Green waved to them as he helped Silver resurface, the red head spitting water out of his mouth and struggling against his heavy clothes.
"So, how was your day?" Lance wanted to know.
Gold shrugged his shoulders. "Well…it was interesting to say in the least. " He answered. "Hey Lance, ever play Double Growlithe Dare before?" He wanted to know.
"Can't say that I have."
"Great! I'll teach you. It'll be fun."
