Chapter Summary: Gold is getting bored staying in this 'special place for special people' when a boy approaches him, recognizing him as Red Gold tries to stay away. But why is Red so darn attractive to Gold?! Red/Gold in this chapter.

Gold ran around the yard, if you could call it that. The yard was just a small place with a cramped playground and a few benches, it was mainly gravel and fake grass. There was a few other kids there besides Gold. From what he could tell they had been through worse than he had so far. Gold sighed and leaned against the wooden fence. "Gold!" Hissed a voice. Gold jumped. "Don't be scared Gold. I came to bust you out of here!" The voice said. Gold's heart caught in his throat. Red...what is he doing here?!

Gold waited nervously for the end of the day. Anytime he went outside Red was there waiting for him. Gold felt really strange. Why does this bug me so much? It's just Red...nothing more and nothing less... Gold smiled slightly when he heard the sound of Doctor Richard calling him. Gold happily ran up the stairs to his room.
"Hello Gold." Doctor Richard said. "Hello." Gold said quickly as he took his seat. Doctor Richard started with checking Gold's vital signs. Gold hated this but was glad to stop thinking about Red.

Red sighed and slumped against the wooden fence. Gold was the boy he couldn't stop thinking about. Gold was the boy who had beaten him. Gold was the boy that scared his sister. Red closed his eyes. I got to stop thinking of him... Red tried his best to think of something, anything, other than Gold to no avail. Does he think about me? Does he want to see me? Does he want me to save him?

"No! I don't want to!" Gold shouted. "But you must go out and play with the other children!" Doctor Richard said. "No! I won't go out!" Gold yelled. Doctor Richard forcibly grabbed Gold and shoved him outside. The other kids turned and stared at him. "Hi..." Gold said shyly. The other children went back to playing.
"Hey Gold!" Red hissed. "What?!" Gold asked angrily. "I'm going to get you out of here. Meet me here tonight." Red said. Gold didn't know why but he agreed. "I'll be here tonight at 9, you better be here Red." Gold said.

Gold carefully ran through the shadows. "The test subject is doing well I assume?" A deep voice asked. "I'm doing everything as you ask. The children are listening to us. Soon the great beasts will bow down before us!" Doctor Richard said. What? Bow down to them? Why the heck would they do that? Gold frowned and made a face as he raced to the door. "Gold Azure!" A voice shouted. Gold froze. "You shouldn't leave without this." Jimmy said as he handed Gold a flashlight. "Thank you..." Gold said as he ran outside.

There was a rope hanging over the fence, Red was standing right beside it. "It's safe. I climbed over and everything. You're younger than me so I assume you weight lighter than me." Red said. Gold felt himself turn red. "You really didn't have to." Gold said. "You learn a lot by just sneaking around." Red said as he glanced up at the sky. "Huh? What do you mean?" Gold asked confused. Red held up a small device. "If I play this, you and the other will transform." Red said with zero hints of emotion in his voice. Gold was confused. Transform? What does he mean by that? Red pressed play.
Gold screamed in pain. He felt like his body was on fire. A deep growl left his throat. Must get that device! Gold leapt at Red and tackled him to the ground. Red hit his head on the wooden fence. Gold felt his body start to tingle. With a roar Gold turned into a beast again.

"But what if I'm not strong enough Jimmy?" Gold asked. "If you can fight it off long enough you won't change." Jimmy told him. Gold felt afraid. "But what if I can't control myself?" Gold asked in a small voice. "Gold, listen to me. You're better than the rest of them. They can't fight back because they have been broken in spirit, you have not. I believe in you." Jimmy said. Gold sighed. "Tell me...was I chose for my golden eyes?" Gold asked. Jimmy hesitated for a minute, he took a deep breath. "Yes."

Red's eyes widened. Gold now was halfway between a beast and a human. Red couldn't take his eyes off of the thing the boy had become. A low growl left Gold's throat. Red took a deep breath and walked towards him. Gold shot Red a pained look. "It's okay Gold...I didn't mean to...I just wanted to know if it was true..." Red said. Gold fell to his knees. Red ran over and held Gold in his arms. Gold was crying, upset over what he had become. Red looked into Gold's eyes and planted a kiss on his lips. Gold was shocked. Red was surprised when Gold turned back into a human before his very eyes.

"We mustn't return..." Red said as he grabbed Gold's hand. "Yes..." Gold said as he squeezed Red's hand tightly. The two boys looked at each other, unsure of what they had just done or why they had done it. Gold was the first to break the silence. "Thank you, I mean you saved me...from what I had become..." Gold said as he looked around nervously. Red nodded his head. All he knew was that he wanted to stay by Gold's side forever. "I just had to...I mean you're like a friend to me..." Red said. Gold was confused. "But I...I almost killed you!" Gold shouted. "And I almost broke the towns..." Red said as he sighed. Gold looked down. "You know what...the battle is just beginning..." Gold said softly. "I understand...but we'll be ready..." Red said. "Yes...we'll be ready..." Gold said as he leaned his head on Red's shoulder.
