There ain't a simple thing about you, Silver, but I've gotta say you're pretty damn cute.

[smooth

as

FUCK]

[illegalmarriage]

[...That was lame and dumb and his face is red isn't it

yes it is

alright just play it cool maybe he won't point it out-]

[illegalteendad]

[nope] It's even better when you're all red and flustered.

[illegalmarriage]

Are you enjoying yourself? [Okay yes he's flustered congratulations

...is

is he actually cute or is Gold just teasing him

or both]

[illegalteendad]

[it was teasing but it's quickly becoming fact so both] Totally. This is becomin' one of my favorite things to do with you.

[illegalmarriage]

[...In that case he

he guesses he can put up with it

...boyfriend really thinks he's cute...]

It's an upgrade from childish, I guess...

[illegalteendad]

[a serious upgrade]

You can take care of Growly. I mean, he's gonna have the same home since you're with me and all, but you and your partners can take care of him. Be a good mama for him alright?

[illegalmarriage]

[...Yeah. He. He can do that. One look at the sleepy puppy in his arms can tell him that much.]

Does that make you the dad?

[illegalteendad]

Hell yeah it does! I'll be the best dad ever too.

[no running away from responsibilities for this guy--]

[illegalmarriage]

[Gold it's a Growlithe not a human being

he nods, but afterwards he looks kind of uncertain

should he ask? should he let it drop? I mean, Gold's calling him a mom, but-]

[illegalteendad]

[shut up treat people and pokemon as you want to be treated

what's with that uncertain look]

What? Do you wanna share the title of mom or somethin'?

[illegalmarriage]

[Yeah yeah whatever]

...Do you still think I'm childish? [This has been eating at him a little even if they're supposed to be Over It or something okay just

childish]

[illegalteendad]

[childish wasn't a good word to use to describe him

and yet it was the best word at the time]

I was teasin' you for your lack of know-how and all, but I'll tell you what. Get that puppy back on his feet and growin' well and you can decide that yourself. [because to him, being an adult means taking care of what you need to take care of even if you gotta lay off some things you want]

[illegalmarriage]

...That's not an answer. [Gold this is a yes or no question

come on

of course he's gonna get puppy back on his feet]

[illegalteendad]

You almost chose ice cream over a sick Pokémon. I mean, you went down the right path in the end, but still.

[illegalmarriage]

You think I'd really pick ice cream over a sick Pokémon? You started treating me like a child and used the fact that he's sick to make me feel bad.

[...But he still overreacted, didn't he? Ugh...]

[illegalteendad]

[yeah yeah lay it on

that was kind of

manipulative

of him

ugh

shit, he's bad at keeping his word to silver

if he sounds frustrated it's because he's mad at himself not silver okay]

You act like a kid, you get treated like one. [nnnn no what did sneasel say he said no to calling silver a child rrrrrg] I mean, you know. You ain't a kid. Or childish. But that was kinda childish of you to even think about havin' two choices, even if I, you know, should've just gone by myself and all that. Instead of makin' it a big deal. Whatever.

[words HE WANTS TO CONVEY THINGS BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO START]

[illegalmarriage]

[Gold, what

what are you even trying to say

you still think he's childish but also not a kid or childish-

well. what he did was childish.

you are so stupid and complicated why am I dating and running away from team rocket for you

but so is he and he knows it they really do deserve each other huh

okay seriously though] What? [that is either the most roundabout apology or the most passive aggressive thing he's ever heard in his life or both-]

[illegalteendad]

[LET HIM

TRY AGAIN

why are words hard

why can't he use actions

humph

hold his hand boyfriend he is going to need to squeeze it]

What I'm tryin' to say is that... [struggling struggling] I'm sorry for treatin' you like a kid, 'cause you ain't one and all, but you were actin' like one. I don't think you're childish. You just act like it sometimes.

[... was that it better he can't tell]

[illegalmarriage]

[was that

could it be

gold... being sincere?

???

??

uh

what's he supposed to do here

what's he supposed to

what?]

[illegalteendad]

[scuse you gold is always sincere

well

you know

as sincere as he can be

jerk

your quietness is making him kind of jittery though]

... Well? You just gonna stand there and gawk at me or are you gonna say something or what? I mean, you ain't gotta forgive me or nothing 'cause it was still bad on my part for treatin' you like that, but I'd like something. Besides that dumb look on your face. What's that for anyway, huh?

[illegalmarriage]

[oh right the dumb look on his face uh

is this better

shh

here's a kiss on the cheek

it is very gentle and reassuring]

Thanks, Gold. [no seriously like that was sincere as fuck and not confusing and

and nice

yeah nice

no seriously can you do that like all the time-] If I act like a child, just tell me to knock it off. [Gold being sincere and thoughtful wow]

[illegalteendad]

[oh

oh okay that's good

that is very good]

Yeah, no problem. It ain't often. [but uh] You're not just lettin' me sweep this under the rug or anything, right?

[just so we're clear and all

that you're still over that

yeah

he doesn't want to

you know

have a repeat of the past]

1/2

[illegalmarriage]

...You said what you were trying to say without being a huge jerk. [So no, he's not sweeping it under the carpet.]

[illegalmarriage]

[...And uh

speaking of not sweeping it under the rug...]

Besides, you weren't completely wrong. [his stomach is god damn killing him and he has no one to blame but himself] I did something pretty stupid.
