"No!" Lyra gasped, "That dress is so ugly! Don't say yes!"

Lyra sat on her couch, enthralled, as she watched her favorite television show. A show she actually had the pleasure of being on about two years ago! There was currently a bride in what was the worst dress Lyra had ever seen- the design itself was okay, but the color was a horrible color. It was as if the dress was once white, but had been sitting out in the sun for ten years.

Lyra heard the front door open. She jumped up in relief. Honestly, she was watching tv to distract herself. Her husband hadn't come home from work and was dodging her calls.

"Silvey!" Lyra gasped, running to the front door.

"Lyra!" Silver exclaimed, opening his arms to his wife.

Lyra threw herself into his embrace, "Oh Silver! I was so worried!"

Lyra felt Silver's hands grab her butt, "Hehe," he giggled, "I like your butt..."

Lyra frowned and pulled away, "Um...are you okay?"

Lyra looked up at Silver. He was making the most dopey face she had ever seen. His blood red hair was a bit messy, and he was biting his lip, holding back giggles.

"Gold came to my work!" Silver chirped, "H-He said 'Silver! You work too much! Let's go out!'!"

Lyra scrunched up her nose, "Okay..."

"And I said, 'Fuck you! I hafta get home to my baby!' A-And he said, 'Just one drink, man! C'mon!'."

"You're drunk...?" Lyra whispered.

She had never seen Silver drunk before. Never. He drank, sure, but not a lot. The last time she saw him drink alcohol was their anniversary a few months ago.

"Oopsies!" Silver giggled, pulling Lyra close, "I missed you..." he hummed, resting his head on hers.

"So...where's Gold?" Lyra asked.

Silver shrugged, "He went home with some girl!"

"Gold? Went home with a girl?"

"He's bisexual, Lyra!" Silver exclaimed, "Just like me!"

Lyra froze. She slowly put her hands on Silver's chest and pushed him away. She looked into his eyes, "What?" She whispered.

Silver brought a finger to his lips, "Shh! It's a secret!"

Before Lyra could wrap her head around what her husband just told her, Silver rushed into the living room and collapsed on the couch. Lyra pushed through her shock and followed him.

Silver pointed at the tv, "C-Can we watch the one with you in it?"

Lyra shook her head, "U-Uh sure, Silver."

Lyra took the remote and switched the episode to the one that featured her.

"I'm hungry..." Silver whispered as the theme song played.

Lyra scurried into the kitchen and quickly made Silver a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She got him a glass as water as well and brought the food to him.

Silver gasped, "Oh! Thanks, baby! I love you!"

Lyra took a seat next to Silver on the couch. They watched the episode together as Silver munched on his sandwich. Near the end of the episode, it finally showed Lyra in the dress she said yes to. Silver started crying into his cup of water.

"Silvey..." Lyra whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Y-You're so pretty!" Silver hiccuped, "I love you so much!"

Lyra smiled gently. Silver was so sweet...but...

Lyra turned the tv off, "Okay sweetie...let's get you to bed, okay?"

Silver frowned as he watched Lyra stand up, "We sleep?"

Lyra nodded.

Silver pouted and grabbed Lyra's hips. He pulled her towards him and kissed her stomach, "I wanna kiss you more..."

Lyra bit her lip, "I'll give you all the kisses you want in bed."

Silver thought for a moment. He seemed to like that compromise and stood up. He took Lyra's hand and she dragged him to their bedroom. Silver saw their bed and immediately rushed towards it, releasing his wife's hand. He collapsed into the bed face first and fell asleep almost immediately.

Lyra sighed. She sat down next to her husband's sleeping form and ran her fingers through his hair.

Was he really bisexual? Why did he hide it from her? Why was it a secret?

Lyra bit her lip and gently pulled the covers under Silver over him. She kissed his forehead and buried her face in his hair.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She whispered, "Did you think I'd love you less? I could never..."

~~~

Silver awoke with the worst headache he'd ever had in his life. He groaned and attempted to push himself up, but his entire body rejected the motion. He fell face first back into the bed. He groaned and reached to his left, but felt nothing but sheets. He lifted his head a bit and frowned.

"Lyra?" He croaked, raising his head slightly.

No response.

"Lyra!" He said again, louder this time.

Silver flipped onto his back and glared at the ceiling. He couldn't remember what had happened last night, but he had a feeling Gold had something to do with it. Silver' sears perked up as the bedroom door opened.

Silver's eyes softened at the girl who entered the room, "Lyra..." he cooed.

Lyra sat next to Silver on the bed and pushed his bangs from his forehead, "Good morning..."

Silver closed his eyes as Lyra planted a kiss on his forehead.

"How are you feeling?" Lyra asked.

"Shitty." Silver groaned.

Lyra caressed Silver's cheek, "Yeah?"

Silver leaned into her hand and sighed in content.

"We need to talk..." Lyra whispered.

Silver looked up into his wife's brown eyes, "About what?"

Lyra bit her lip, "How long have you known?"

Silver raised an eyebrow, "Known what?"

"Silver..."

"I don't know what you're talking about." He said, genuinely confused.

"You told me something last night..." Lyra said, "You said it was a secret..."

Silver's heart skipped a beat. No. No no no no no no no. He sat up swiftly, even though his brain screamed at him not to.

Silver felt his heart in his throat, "What did I tell you?"

Lyra kept eye contact with her husband, but said nothing.

"Lyra," Silver said, "What did I tell you?"

Lyra brought her hand back to Silver's cheek, "You can tell me anything...please..."

Silver's chest heaved. He felt like the room was closing in on him. Tears swelled in his eyes and he covered his mouth to keep in a sob.

"I love you," Lyra said, tears filling her eyes as well, "I always will."

Silver took a couple deep breaths. He took one long final one before saying, "I'm bisexual."

Lyra wiped away a tear that escaped Silver's eye, "How long have you known?"

Silver looked away, "I've always known, I guess..."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Silver shook his head, "It's not that easy, Lyra."

Lyra sighed, "I know...but you know I love you...nothing could change that!"

Silver sighed and pressed his forehead to Lyra's, "I love you too...I'm sorry."

"Don't be...please."

Silver sighed.

"I want you to know you can tell me anything," Lyra said, "Even the hard stuff. I'm here for you, and nothing could ever change that."

Silver kissed away the tears coming down Lyra's face, "Don't cry, Pigtails..."

"You know I love crying!" Lyra sniffled, giggling slightly.

Silver chuckled and pulled Lyra into a hug. Lyra wrapped her arms around the love of her life and held him close. Silver buried his face in Lyra's shoulder, finally being able to breathe.
