You will! This world station is a lot safer than the others. It's peaceful. It's nothing like Luceti.

[tsuntrader]

But I might not stay here. [I don't belong here.]

[infinitegrin]

I hope you do. I'd do anything to make sure you were here, and safe...

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[And part of him wants to stay here. The part that cares about Ingo and Emmet, that's been enjoying coming into an apartment of Joltik every day, of doing things that are normal and having a normal and content life in a calm and safe place...

...But that's irresponsible. He always has something to do at home. That's his duty. His obligation. He'd be running away from that. And... He'd be losing his friends. ...No, he'd be losing his friends and family. He'd never see Blue again. He'd never see Crys or Yellow or even Green. He'd never see Gold again.

And that's just something he doesn't want to think about.]

[tsuntrader]

[...] What might happen doesn't matter. What matters right now is that I get to spend time here with you and Ingo.

I'm happy that I got the chance to do that somewhere safe.

[And deep down, he means those words, but right now... They're hollow. He's just trying to be reassuring, to avoid the topic. Part for Emmet, and part for himself. Emmet doesn't need to worry about him.]

[infinitegrin]

Hey... come here. Sit next to me.

[Pat pat!]

[tsuntrader]

[Huh? ...Well, okay. Even if he's a bit awkward about it, he sits down next to Emmet.]

[infinitegrin]

[And Emmet wraps an arm around Silver's shoulder, pulling him into a one-armed hug! Even if that stings like hell, it's an important gesture.]

You're our family, Silver. Our son. We love you, a lot, and we want you to grow up with as good of an environment as we can possibly provide you. So, yeah, maybe one day you will go back to your world... but until that happens, we're assuming that you're staying with us, and we'll give you everything we can and more.

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[...It's so much more reassuring when Emmet says it. He cares about Ingo. Ingo's his family. His... His dad. But the two of them are awkward about it and he always worries about what is and isn't "okay" and it creates some dancing around the topic.

Emmet, on the other hand... He's so straightforward. It's easier to push away his doubts. And he cares about Emmet too. Emmet... Emmet's also his dad. He can't pick one or the other. They both care about him. Love him. And as vulnerable and uncomfortable as it feels, he feels the same.

It's a strange family, but... But it's theirs. And he can't be worrying, fussing, and feeling guilty over what might happen. No matter what, matters will be settled back at home. He's sure of that part, at least. So while he's here, he... He needs to enjoy time with this part of his family.

Family.]

[tsuntrader]

[...But there's one thought that really lingers. It doesn't quite bother him, and he doesn't look nearly as upset as he did just moments before, but he can't quite put it together.]

...Why me?

[infinitegrin]

[Emmet chuckled, resting his head on Silver's head, getting nice and cuddly.]

Hmm... because being around you, and seeing how happy we could make you and how happy you made Ingo, made me happy too. I can't say what exactly about you that I care so much about, and why I care about you more than other people, but whatever it is, it's you. And that's something that won't change, no matter what.

[tsuntrader]

[Wh- but- o-okay. You. You can rest your head there. Yeah.]

...No matter what. [Silver feels the need to clarify those words, just one more time, but for the most part, he's satisfied- not only satisfied, but touched- at the answer.]

[infinitegrin]

[Good because cuddling, Emmet is the best at it.]

Wherever life takes you, you're always Silver. So we'll always love you.

[tsuntrader]

[Welp. Guess he's caught in the cuddling trap. He'll eventually stop being tense, just. Give him a minute. He's really bad at being at ease.]

...Thanks.

[infinitegrin]

[CUDDLE CUDDLE okay eventually Emmet has to let go because ow.]

Hey, grab my next dose. I'm getting up, though, there's something from the mini mart around the corner I want to buy.

And you're coming with me!

[tsuntrader]

[-Hey. Hey. He sees what you tried to do there.]

Nice try. I can go get it for you. [In addition to those meds. Ugh, medicine...]

[infinitegrin]

You can't use my credit card, so I have to go.

[tsuntrader]

[...] Fine. But don't tell Ingo.

[infinitegrin]

Of course not! Besides, once you find out what we're getting, you'll be going down for them too.

[tsuntrader]

[...Well, now he's curious, so he quickly gets Emmet his medicine so they can step out and head to the mini mart. Besides, the faster they go, the faster they come back.]

[infinitegrin]

[Yes! To the mini-mart! Emmet heads over to the ice cream freezer, and pulls out... it looks like a taco.]

I know you love ice cream! Almost as much as me.

[He tosses it over! CHOCO TACO.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Oh my god

Ice cream.

Ice cream ice cream ice cream oh my god do they really have these things this close to the apartment hell yes-

Give him a moment to stare at it as if it were made of gold silver diamonds. You are speaking his language.]

[infinitegrin]

A "taco shell" of ice cream cone and fudge and ice cream! They're delicious.

[tsuntrader]

I can really have one? [Ice creaaaam ice cream ice cream ice cream-]

[infinitegrin]

Yeah! That's why I brought you with me, after all.

[HE GRABS TEN OF THEM. Hence credit card.]
