"Why would you wear shoes that hurt you?" Silver asked the brunette in his arms.

The brunette crossed her arms and huffed, "Because I like them!"

Silver rolled his eyes, "But they hurt you!"

"Beauty is pain, Silver!" The brunette said, poking Silver between his eyebrows.

"Hilda!"

"What?" Hilda sang innocently.

Silver shook his head, "Nothing..." he muttered.

Silver looked out at the ocean. He and Hilda took a mission in the Alola region, own which Gladion was (apparently) too busy for. It was in his home region! How was he too busy?

"I'm getting tired of carrying you." Silver stated, walking towards the beach.

Hilda frowned, "So...you're gonna drown me? I've gotta say- not the way I thought I'd go..."

Silver smirked as he stepped onto the sand. He gently put Hilda back on her feet.

"Well this way who's to say it's a homicide? Maybe you were swimming and drowned?" Silver hummed, walking towards the water.

Hilda raised an eyebrow and followed him, "Well your plan is flawed- Gladion knows I'm with you."

Silver smirked, "Not if I kill him, too."

Hilda giggled and latched onto Silver's arm, making him blush.

Honestly? He'd liked her for awhile. Even though they were both in relationships, he felt like she liked him too. There was no way she didn't!

Even though she didn't act it all the time, she was kind and caring. She had the most stunning blue eyes Silver had ever seen, and the way her dark brown hair always cascaded around her took his breath away. They had the same sense of humor, clearly, and she always knew how to cheer him up. Always.

Silver felt bad that he felt this way- he was in a relationship for Arceus sake! Even Hilda was in one! He was scum and he knew it. Does that at least make him better than someone who doesn't know they're scum?

"Why are you making that face?" Hilda asked.

Silver shook his head, snapping him from his thoughts, "Huh?"

Hilda smirked, "You were making your 'thinking' face. What were you thinking about?"

"Oh," Silver said, "Just...Lyra?"

"Question mark?"

Silver sighed as they reached the water. He took his shoes off and sat near the tide. Hilda frowned and took a seat next to him. She put her torture shoes behind her. The water lapped at the pair's feet every once in awhile. There was a silver glow coming from the ocean, as the clear sky allowed the moon to shine brightly.

"I don't know what I'm doing anymore," Silver admitted, "I'm not sure how I feel..."

"About Lyra?" Hilda asked.

Silver nodded.

The pair sat in silence for a few seconds before Silver whispered, "How do you feel about N?"

Hilda hesitated, "I..." she sighed, "I'm not sure."

Silver looked over at her, "Really?"

Hilda hugged her knees to her chest, "Yeah...we've been fighting a lot lately."

"About what?"

"You."

Silver blushed, "M-Me?"

Hilda nodded.

Silver leaned back on his hands, "W-Why?"

"The usual- he thinks we're sleeping together."

Why aren't we?

Shut up!

"Oh..."

They sat in awkward silence for awhile. They suddenly turned to each other and both said, "I have to tell you something!"

They both blushed and chuckled awkwardly.

"You go first." Silver laughed.

"No I insist- you go!" Hilda said.

"Ladies first."

Hilda smirked, "Since when am I a 'lady'?"

"I-I don't know!"

Hilda giggled.

Silver blushed, "You go."

Hilda frowned and bit her lip, "Well...I don't know! Lately it's been like...I'd rather be with...you...than N...I know it doesn't make any sense-"

Silver cut Hilda off with a kiss. He pulled away before she could respond.

"I like you, too." Silver confessed.

Hilda blushed, "Y-You do?"

"Obviously."

Hilda rolled her eyes, "Obviously..." she mocked, smirking.

Silver pulled Hilda into his arms and kissed her cheek dramatically, "Shut up!"
