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.

[????? the closet?

not questioning it]

Okay. [...if he got here today....] Have you seen your dads yet?

[LOOK SILVER YOU AREN'T THE ONE WHO BROUGHT IT UP FIRST THIS TIME!!!]

[tsuntrader]

[He looks a little unsure at the word dads, but he shakes his head regardless.

That's why he's here. If he sees them, maybe he'll remember them. ...He hopes that he'll remember them...]

[infinitegrin]

[Boy there sure are a lot of people in the office. Why aren't they at work? Is something up? Time to get these trains moving out of the station!]

[infinitegrin]

[He opens the door!

...And gapes. That's... is that...?


He quickly rubs his eyes. No, that's definitely him!]

Silver?

[infinitegrin]

[IT'S SILVER. Emmet runs over, and pulls him into a hug. Sorry, Silver, you're getting dragged a little bit.]

You're back! You're really back-- Ingo! Ingo, get in here!

[infinitefrown]

Ah?-- [--!!] You--

[He comes running in as fast as he can, pausing in the doorway only long enough to confirm that it really, really is what he thought Emmet meant. And then...]

[infinitefrown]

Silver....!

[He joins the hug, embracing them tightly. god, silver, it's silver, he's here right in front of him.........]

[tsuntrader]

[Aaaand in ten seconds he is far from his comfort zone. He tenses up and looks pretty uncomfortable about it for a moment, but...

These... These two are Ingo and Emmet. He met them in a horrible place. But they...

They endured it together. They... They were a family together...?]

[infinitegrin]

[Emmet kind of notices the hesitance, but it doesn't quiiiite strike him as odd yet. He's already misty-eyed with joy.]

I'm glad, so glad. I am very glad! I'm happy you're safe and sound, I'm happy you're here again, I'm happy to see you again!

[infinitefrown]

[Ingo strokes Silver's hair a little bit, a little quieter than Emmet but no less happy-- he's smiling, of course.]

You're all right.... Silver.... [oh, silver...]

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[And then he came here, and... And he lived with them, and they cared for him, and they-

Family. They're family. They're--]

[tsuntrader]

[He finally returns the hug- although he's less emotional about it than his dads, it's heartfelt nonetheless.]

Sorry I took so long. [Dads dads I went and did my responsible help save the world thing and now I'm back and-]

[infinitegrin]

It's okay. It's okay! We forgive you. Did everything turn out okay?

[infinitefrown]

It isn't as if you could control it....

[tsuntrader]

We did what we set out to do. We stopped Team Rocket, gave Arceus its plates back, and kept Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina from destroying Johto and Sinnoh through a fight between the three of them, so-

Gold managed to calm down Arceus itself. It was just like him.

[DADS I DID GOOD I WAS A GOOD PROTAG]

[infinitegrin]

Wow. That sounds complicated! But it sounds like things went well at home, I'm very happy for you!

[gohome]

[???????????]

[hikikomanly]

[ok]

[infinitefrown]

I'm so glad that you accomplished what you needed to. Finally reaching that goal... it must be a satisfying station.

[even back in luceti, miss crys had had that determination, too... aah.]

[tsuntrader]

[Nodding through the hugging doesn't translate too well, but he does it anyway. That's a good word for this, isn't it? Satisfying.

He's had his cake. Now he can eat it too.]

I'll still always have a job to do, but as long as I keep training and stay ready to rise to the occasion, everything will be fine.

But that doesn't matter right now. [You two do. Things are still confusing, but- he doesn't even have to worry about not letting go, does he? His dads aren't about to let him go any time soon.]

[infinitegrin]

[Emmet certainly isn't! Though standing up and cuddling is a little hard, so he backs up a liiiittle.]

Ingo, I think we might have to take today off...

[Because you and I both know we are never getting anything accomplished while Silver is waiting for us, not after a whole year without him.]

[infinitefrown]

[t...aking a day oYEAH HE CAN'T EVEN QUESTION IT]

Yes, so it would seem. [He smiles at Silver again, a totally unreserved and genuine smile, giving him a little space but not breaking contact with him.] I can't see any other more optimal line...

[they are going the fuck home. lessee-- oh well hey cloud's right there that's convenient HE CAN TAKE CARE OF STUFF TOTES]

[tsuntrader]

-Wait, you don't have to... [...What Ingo said. Not even gonna question it.]

[infinitegrin]

It's okay! We missed you. Come on. Let's go home together.
