SUBWAYS 4: THE WHITE 2-I-EST

[50shadesofstardom]

IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON.

THE YEAR PASSES. THE EVENTS OF WHITE 2 OCCUR. SUBWAY REMAINS FAIRLY UNINVOLVED AND UNINTERESTING AT THIS POINT.



IT'S THE POSTGAME THAT ROCKS.

[Wh...

...Whoops. Sorry to cut into your schedule, Elesa. He should have spontaneously showed up at a better time.]

I feel fine. [The adrenaline rush he's been riding on for quite some time now hasn't subsided.] Thanks.

[...] Can I ask you something?

[boltbadge]

[Yeah gosh how incredibly inconsiderate of you to randomly appear at just the wrong time, you're awful.]

Yes you may, Silver.

[tsuntrader]

How long have I been gone?

[He doesn't remember everything, but... He's getting there. It hasn't been too long at home, but that doesn't say anything about how much time passed here.]

[boltbadge]

...A little over a year. Long enough that we thought you were gone for good.

[tsuntrader]

[Wait wait wait wait record scratch.]

What? [A year?]

[boltbadge]

A year.

[tsuntrader]

That can't be true. It's only been- [...How long has it been? The sun started rising at some point, didn't it?]

It's been a day. A couple of days, tops.

[boltbadge]

That probably explains the confusion. It's been a year since you disappeared. All that you left behind were a pair of worn-out gloves that Emmet has.

[tsuntrader]

[Which are... Probably the same gloves he has on now.

Right?]

...I had to be at home. My world needed me.

[But to be gone for an entire year...]

I don't think I'll leave again. [...Not anytime soon, at least. How long was he here? Two years? ...If time passes so slowly at home in comparison to here, then he'll be here for quite some time. ...Maybe.

He might be thinking about it too much.]

[boltbadge]

[Unless Blue made you new gloves? But yeah... Elesa just smiles a little sadly at first, before perking up.]

It's confusing, I'm sure! I'm sorry it's so rough for you. But don't worry too much. There's only so much we can do.

[tsuntrader]

[No, it's... He shakes his head. He even smiles a little.]

It's okay. Things are a little strange now, but everything will work out in the end, right?

There's nothing to do but keep moving forward.

[boltbadge]

That's right. I'm glad you came back. We all really did miss you. That, and that'll make it all the better when I propose to Ingo.

[tsuntrader]

...Propose what?

[boltbadge]

I'm going to ask him to marry me, silly!

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[...Oh. Oh.]

[tsuntrader]

...You'll get a real smile out of him. [Not even a frown!smile!

...Frown... smile. Yes, he remembers that frown smile.]

[boltbadge]

Oh, eventually, I'm sure. Once his face isn't as red and he isn't as embarrassed.

[Because oh man, she's going to make it a very, very public affair. She's very proud of her relationship with Ingo.]

But I know that reuniting with you will bring just as bright a smile to his face.

[tsuntrader]

[...Really? -Well, if Ingo adopted him, then it makes sense, doesn't it?]

[boltbadge]

Now. Before then, why don't we dry and style your hair? To go with that outfit which, of course, is just as cute on you as I thought it would be.

[tsuntrader]

[...Yep, definitely like Blue. And just like with Blue, he has a sinking feeling that arguing will be fruitless, so he nods. Alright.]

[boltbadge]

[Excellent. Then just sit down and enjoy getting your hair blown dry and fluffed and man, your hair has a lot of body when it's properly done up!]

[tsuntrader]

[So much body. It has plenty of body to begin with. Take care of your gorgeous hair more, Silver.

Having his hair dried is a little awkward, but he doesn't complain. Careful near the face. ...And near the everything.]

[boltbadge]

[She's very careful! She's good with it. And in no time, that hair is soft and straight and it looks so nice and hey, no hair horn! Not after she puts just the right amount of hair spray in to keep it tame.]

There you go! How handsome.

[tsuntrader]

[Wow, she even tamed the hair horn.

Regardless, he's not the best at caring about the condition of his hair, so after putting a quick hand over his head, he turns back at Elesa. It's a lot like making a little kid look presentable, but with less fighting and fussing.]

[boltbadge]

So! How're things so far? Starting to remember more things?
