Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

...I'm... I'm gonna take you to the doctor, alright? I'll talk to your teacher and ask if she can let you stay out of PE until then.

[...] If nothing's wrong, you'll have to keep trying.

[That makes Barett look at the ground, curling up around vulpix more. The fox chirps worriedly at that.]

...Is something wrong with me, dad?

[tsuntrader]

...I want to say no, but... I don't know. That's why we're gonna find out.

[...] Don't worry about it too much, okay? It doesn't mean that you're a bad person or did something wrong. If something's wrong, we'll take care of it.

...Am I gonna die, like mom did?

[What?

No no no no- no. No. No. Don't say that-]

[tsuntrader]

[He immediately pulls Barett right up (sorry Vulpix) and into his arms. No. No sweetie, no. No. No. No.]

No. You won't die. Not by a long shot. Where'd you get an idea like that?

[morelikethedude]

[Barett lets go of his Pokémon in favor of clinging onto Silver, shaking his head and hiding in his father's shirt. It made sense in his head, but he can't explain why he thought that. All he knows is that he's scared.]

[tsuntrader]

[Don't. Don't cry, he'll cry-

No. No, he won't cry. He can't cry. Not in front of his kid.]

It's okay to cry, but everything's gonna be okay, alright?

[...That's exactly what he said to Hilda, minutes before everything went wr- stop it. Now's not the time. He holds onto Barett and gently rubs his back- it's okay. It's gonna be okay. He and Hilda were both healthy. Hilda's mom was healthy. He's stillhealthy. There's nothing to worry about.]

[morelikethedude]

[He nods, still hugging Silver tightly, and he'll stay that way until he finally stops crying and falls asleep.]

[tsuntrader]

[He doesn't move and keeps holding onto him; once he falls asleep, Silver glances over at Arceus before standing up and carrying him over to his room. He carefully sets him down in his bed and covers him up. Vulpix gets a pat on the head and a berry for cuddling up to him.

From there, it's straight to his Pokégear- he calls the school first to ask if Barett can be excused from PE for a few days while he gets an appointment for him to go to the doctor; he calls the doctor second to get said appointment.

Emmet. He needs Emmet. Or Ingo. He needs his dads.]
