861. wreak: to inflict; to cause (something bad)
Green soldiered on in the conversation. "My parents ditched me too." If Silver wanted to talk about sensitive things, ok?
Silver laughed. A forced, horribly fake laugh. "You had your grandfather. The orphanage was a training school for criminals. Assassins. Robbers." Green glanced over, and saw Silver's eyebrows knotted in disgust, anger, and hate. Silver rubbed his temples and sighed. "You grew up with family, real family."
Green could detect an impending argument – he hoped it wouldn't wreak havoc on their acquaintance-ship (not quite friendship yet?). "And you didn't?"
862. auditory: relating to the sense of hearing
Silver deadpanned. They had been walking quickly to the Pokecenter, but Silver abruptly stopped to look up from the ground and stare into Green with his piercing gray eyes. "You had family that loved you. Friends that trusted you. And you had something you wanted to do. A personal goal. For us, everything was predetermined." His voice, ever increasing in volume and intensity, suddenly dropped to a whisper. "Everything." He quickly looked back down, and started walking again.
Green was not about to back down. He jogged a little and fell back in pace with Silver's strides. "Do you regret being with Leaf?"
"No-" Silver gritted his teeth. "You don't understand what I mean. You don't-" He sighed, but clammed up when the familiar red roof drew into view and a certain teenager with a backwards yellow and black cap waved at them. Green was inclined to push for a response, but with Gold's auditory abilities he was unsure if Silver wanted such sensitive topics brought up.
863. muse: to meditate; to consider thoughtfully
Gold ran over to them, and glomped Silver. Green backed off, and mused the outcome of him doing something similar to Red. Red didn't like touching people very much – he didn't say anything but Green had noticed a lot of things while staying with (poking and bothering) Red. Strange thing was, Red had been a very touchy-feely kid that used to hug more and talk less, but now he just didn't hug or talk. Green assumed it was from the Rocket incident.
864. disdain: a feeling of contempt
Red, stupid as always, had infiltrated and destroyed the Rockets at Silph. However, he didn't emerge unscathed – a particularly violent grunt had seized him by the throat and tried to choke him, presumably after losing in a battle. When Green met up with Red, he could clearly see the finger shaped bruises around his neck, and although he may have not seen or heard anything from Red it was easy to deduce the cause.
After battling Giovanni and collapsing in the office, Green had barged in and carried an unconscious Red to the Pokecenter. On his way out of the building, Green disdainfully poked a man that'd been fried to oblivion by Pikachu (hopefully the grunt that'd choked Red), and hoped Red was ok.
865. grovel: to beg; to lower oneself to please another
Besides some groveling or unconscious grunts, the building had been entirely evacuated, and Green slowly trudged along to the Pokecenter with Red on his back. Green took all the pokeballs to Nurse Joy and went into the human injury department to get a check up on Red.
Red has sustained no permanent damage except for bruises on his wrists, his ribs, and his throat. Green passed a couple days sitting next to Red's hospital bed and providing updates on his pokemon's condition. Red didn't speak a word – partially because he didn't want to, but mostly because he couldn't.
866. delegate: to entrust to another person
Red's mom came hurrying into the hospital room on the second day, and Green delegated himself as the Red translator. Green had had quite a lot of fun creating a sign language with Red, since neither knew the actual signs. The conversations had not been particularly memorable – all Green remembered was that it was a lot of fretting over Red and reassurances from the doctor.
867. retrospect: the consideration of past events
In retrospect, Green realized he'd not understood the significance of a lot of little things he'd observed. Red had started shaking uncontrollably when Green seized his hand after they first exchanged pleasantries in their made-up sign language. Back then, Green had dismissed it as strange laughter, but thinking back there was no way that Red's wide open, moistening eyes and colorless cheeks could have been anything but fear.
868. utopia: an ideally perfect place
Red had overcome a lot of his fears, but was a long way from snuggling. Unlike Gold, who had picked Silver up off the ground and was trying to spin in a circle. Silver was as stiff as a rock, and just stiffened, blushed until his face was glowing red, and held onto Gold's head for dear life. Of course, doing so blinded Gold, and the two of them crashed to the ground in a giggling and mock-scowling heap.
Giovanni had been trying to create his own dark utopia, and had abused Silver and given him a horrible life. However, seeing the redhead blush until the color of his cheeks rivalled that of his hair, it was evident that Gold really could make Silver happy.
Green interrupted their flirting. "You two are really cute and all, but I have to get home soon to make sure my house guest – oh whatever, she's Latias – has eaten something. If I don't remember to get her food, she'll just sleep on through and then I feel bad."
869. ponder: to think over with great care
Silver jabbed Gold in the stomach. "We do NOT look cute!" Gold laughed and wrapped his arms around Silver's waist. No deep pondering could change Green's conclusion. They were completely fit for each other.
870. intervene: to come between two things
Green felt out of place, intervening in their… bonding time, and walked through the Pokecenter's double doors to get a spot in the line. Silver walked in a couple minutes later, face still flushed and hair mussed up.
"You look like you just had sex," Green casually noted, before smiling at the nurse and handing over his pokeballs.
