PreciousMetal Gold Meets Silver's Father End

As Giovanni, Silver, and Gold entered the luxurious home, Gold stuck close behind Silver as if he were a riot shield. Clearly annoyed by how ridiculous Gold was acting, the red-head gently jabbed with his elbow to the breeder's shoulder signaling 'Just stay calm.'

"Father, I'll be going up stairs and prepare something for a moment," Silver informed the ex Team Rocket leader, as he saw Gold finished taking off his shoes. The facial reaction the Exchanger spotted from Gold's face was priceless to him, he then smiled, "It may take long..."

His father nodded his head, "Alright, I'll give him a tour of the house." Giovanni then looked at his guest and gave him a little beckon as he began to walk forward down the hallway.

Immediately, not wanting to continue the terrible start that Gold began. He followed closely behind Giovanni without question and began to look around.

"First time here?" The older man asked without looking back

To Gold's surprise, he felt at peace at that moment. He couldn't put his finger about why it was, but in the end, he didn't question it, "To be honest, yeah. I've never been here before."

"Other than that young woman, Blue, you are the first who has come here" The father said suddenly, "Although it's painfully obvious about why, I still wonder what have I done recently to give people the image that I'm still the same man I was before."

And just like that, Gold could have sworn that he saw Silver at that very moment. A smile grew on his lips, feeling more comfortable now, and slowly began to let go of his fear of the founder of Team Rocket, "I guess the term 'life father, like son' can be used here, right?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"Oh- haha... well," the Johto native chuckled even more because of how clueless Giovanni was with that common term, "You and Silver are too alike in that sense... guess I should've known, huh?"

The older man sighed in annoyance, "You have not answered my question."

"Ah- sorry about that! I tend to ramble on when I'm nervous and all- crap I'm doing it again aren't I?!"

"Yes, you are.' Giovanni said bluntly, "But please, do answer my question."

"Right... right... sorry about that," Gold picked up his stride once more and felt his usual over confidence, "Basically, what I said before is that you and Silver would always give off such an intimidating look- even if it's unconscious!"

"But you're not scared of me now, right?"

An aipom like grin grew on Gold's lips as he looked up to Silver's father, "Actually, yeah. I was very close to running with my tail between my legs! But not anymore!"

"And what made you stop being scared of me?"

"Well... like Silver, after a little while, I stopped thinking that he is some cold asshole!" He then bit his tongue and quickly said, "No offense towards your son or anything!" Regardless, the damage was already done. He then continued, "When I started to get your son, I guess you can say... we just clicked I guess?"

A chuckle was heard from the Team Rocket Founder.

"What's so funny?" The Breeder demanded impatiently,

"Well, just a few months ago, Silver was saying things like how annoying you are," Giovanni answered without skipping a beat, "But when he talks about you, I would see a little blush on his face. So, naturally... I thought that he was talking about how you would talk about sexual topics."

"Me...? Nooo~! I would never talk about things like that-"

"You do not have to hide your interest of exploring a woman's body, Gold," The man cut the perverted breeder off instantly, "I've heard a lot of negative things about you, namely Blue. But nothing that would put you on my bad list. So don't worry and relax."

They then made eye contact, and they both knew that they would immediately get along just fine.

Without a hitch, Giovanni gave Gold nearly the entire tour of the house, saving just one last room.

The two men then went through a very elaborate door, it was an art gallery full of extravagant artwork. Dating almost back to Ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, and Egypt. Giovanni leaned at the door, watching the young Pokedex Holder walking around in awe of what was in front of him...

But regardless of all the expensive things that would entice greedy souls, Gold saw one painting that caught his eye. He saw a painting of someone who looked almost like Silver... he walked towards the painting, thinking that it was the red-head he knew oh so well. But as Gold got closer, he soon began to see even more feminine features, and once he was just three feet away from the picture, he thought aloud, "Wow... she's so beautiful."

"Yes, that was my late wife," Giovanni said, walking towards Gold and standing beside him, "She was very beautiful and we were very happy together."

Gold could now see the resemblance, Silver gained his looks from his mother, but the personality of his father... he then thought to himself 'What a dangerous combination.'

"She died a few weeks after Silver was kidnapped." Was what Giovanni said. Gold's head immediately turned to Giovanni's face, mouth opened wide. The Rocket Founder then began to explain, "She was always a frail young woman. Couldn't go out, but so full of life. She was very sensitive as well... so once she had word of Silver's disappearance... she fell into deep depression and died in her sleep."

Gold continued to look at the Rocket Leader with new-found admiration and deep sadness, "I'm-... I'm so sorry-"

"Why are you apologizing? It's not as if it was your fault," Although Giovanni wore a blank facial expression, Gold could sense that he was re-visiting painful memories. Then, Giovanni spoke once more, "I created Team Rocket shortly after, I needed to have an excuse to gather whoever I could and find my son... and now that he is here, I have no use for the organization."

Gold then began to fit the pieces together, "So that's why you disbanded Team Rocket?"

A nod came from the Ex Rocket Founder.

After a long period of silence, Gold asked, "What was your wife's name?"

"Sylvia Soul," Giovanni said without skipping a beat, "I married her and took her name instead of forcing her to put my last name in hers." He then heard bells ringing from the main floor, "Ah- dinner must be ready, let us depart."

The two men then made their way to the main floor. But before Gold and Giovanni entered the dining room, Gold told Giovanni with a serious look, "To be honest with you, if I lost someone I love, I would've done the same thing." And immediately entered the dining room and sat across from Silver.

Giovanni was completely stunned, but immediately regained his composure and sat at the main chair.

The dinner was served by the staff the Giovanni had. They passed down the full coarse meal, along with beverages. It was then when the awkward silence returned... it was complete agony for both Gold and Silver, and Giovanni.

The male couple gave each other signals on how to come out to Giovanni, while Giovanni could sense the uneasiness in the air and decided not to ignite anything. To make matters worse, Gold was faking coughs to try to spark interest... which did not work and made matters worse.

"So, Silver, have you found a girlfriend yet?" Giovanni asked, ending the staggering silence which escalated into a red-hot danger zone for the two teenage men.

Silver nearly choked on his food when he heard the question, he swallowed nervously and answered with a hint of fear in his voice, "O-Of course not, father..."

"What do you mean of course not?" Giovanni asked, it was now clear the Silver and Giovanni shared the same qualities of being blunt and have the tendency of asking questions regardless of the conditions, "You're seventeen now, have you not thought about settling down yet?"

The two teenagers gave each other a look, Gold attempted to intervene by coughing first, then said, "You know, Giovanni, Silver here's kinda shy when it comes to all the women! Even when they're all over him, you know what I mean?"

Giovanni glanced at Silver and sighed as he tried to hide a little blush, still not accustomed to talking about relationships, especially when it came to his own son, who he JUST reunited with two years ago.

"I'll be right back," the red-head's father informed suddenly. He pushed his chair back and walked out of the room, giving Gold and Silver the opportunity to talk in quiet...

"W-What do we do?!" Gold panicked, "I just met your father and finally made a good impression- which is freakin hard enough as it is!"

Silver was panicking as much as the Breeder, "Why are you asking me...?! You're supposed to be the man of this relationship!"

"Oooh, so nooow you call me a man- well, not surprised really... after all, you know how I am in be-"

"Now's not the time," the Exchanger said immediately. Although the two men had not engage each other in hot, sensual, steaming, lustful sex yet, it still gave Silver an uncomfortable feeling for the inevitable... especially with Gold.

"Sorry, sorry..." the two men then looked at each other seriously now. They could feel each others fear.

At first, Gold wanted to get the entire concept of 'meeting the parents' thing over with. But over time, he was able to step on a level of actual friendship with the man he once feared. But not only that, he now wanted to ask Giovanni's permission to continue to cherish the red-head as much as possible. Now more than ever, his determination to hold Silver close to his heart was burning as bright as ever. Even if Giovanni were to disapprove and throw Gold out and placed a restriction order on him, or any other ill intended punishment, he was willing to sneak through Silver's window and ask him to elope.

Silver on the other hand was a nervous wreck. He too, wanted to get the meeting the parent process over with. But it all changed when he lied about saying how he was going to change, when in fact, he was following Gold and Giovanni around. The red-head saw how Gold and his father were getting along, talking about a variety of things. It was almost as if he was ready to do almost anything, even defying his own father if he disapprove of their relationship... but fear, Silver's old friend, slipped past through his defenses and began to take refuge in Silver's mind. He wanted to have a normal life, something he had wished for such a long time, and if his father were to disown him because of their relationship, he would revert back to the person he once was before he met Gold and decided to open up his heart to the perverted Breeder, vulnerable and scared. But if the worst case scenario were to happen, and Gold decided to do something reckless... like asking if the two were to run away together, chances are, Silver would agree without any hesitation or regret.

Gold's eyes were filled with flames of determination and was looking directly at Silver's ice-cold calculating blank facial expression. The polar opposites stared at each other, until they said the same thing at the same time, "Let's do this."

After a minute passed, Giovanni walked back in and the three men were eating like normal. As the three finished their dinner, the staff went in to clean the table and gather the dirty plates.

Once they left, Giovanni was about to stand from his seat until the two teenagers stood from their seat,

"F-Father... I have something to tell you," Silver began, now shaking in place, which was later calmed by seeing Gold standing close beside him, "It's something that may or may not be to your liking-"

"... you have gotten some girl pregnant?" Giovanni interrupted, expecting the worse. But once he saw Silver's face looking both irritated and shocked, he coughed embarrassingly and apologized, "Sorry, continue."

Silver wanted- needed to tell his father about the relationship that has made him change, possibly for the better. But it was almost as if some type of mystical force was stopping the words coming right out of his mouth... so all that was being heard from Silver were painful broken sentences and slight whimper, almost as if he was ready to break down...

"Mr. Soul..." Gold stepped in front of Silver and mustered his courage, "For a year now, I have been dating your son for the past year without your permission."

The Ex Rocket Founder blinked three times clearly appalled, "I-... I am sorry, what?"

"I've been going out with your son for about a year now... and I was just wondering i-if you could... you know- grant me your blessing?"

The words that Gold spoke was now in Giovanni's mind. He felt something that has rekindled his courage to believe that he is a good father... something that he knew he lost ever since the day he lost Silver. It was an emotion that was unidentifiable, but he decided to become impulsive for once...

"I-I've m-meant to tell you, father- I-!"

"Silver, be silent." Giovanni's voice was now strict. He stood from his chair and began to walk towards Gold, and each step he took, he could feel the stride he created returning to him; it was the stride of being the Team Rocket Leader. Now, in front of Gold and looking down on him, "You have some guts to actually ask me something like that."

"Erm... t-thanks-?"

"Wasn't a compliment," then, Giovanni's eyes were now completely focused on the Breeder, "You do know that the majority of the public will not approve of this relationship, IF they caught wind of it, right?"

Anger began to rise in Gold's soul, but his iron will attempted to push it down. He managed to grind his teeth and said, "Yeah."

Then, he began to walk around the two teenagers, "And how do you two know that this won't be a phase?"

"What?" Silver was now the person who spoke,

"As in, what if you two were just going through this relationship because of your hormones?" The Ex Rocket Founder clarified, "What if you two end up hurting each other in the end-"

That was the last straw, Gold was about to give Giovanni a piece of his mind, but Silver beat him to the punch, "I don't know the future, father!"

The two men looked at Silver, surprised and mystified.

"I don't know the future, whether or not this is a phase. But quite frankly? I don't care," Silver answered honestly, "I'm new to these feelings... but this is something I know that will n-never fade." Now, Silver began to blush because he realized what he just said, "I-... I hope that we don't separate in the end."

When Gold saw that Silver was finished, he spoke next, "I'm new to this feeling too. At first, I was afraid."

Silver looked at Gold with a surprised expression... when the two started going out, he thought that Gold was the one who had all the confidence, but definitely not the commitment. To both ends, he was surprised.

"I was afraid because I've always go with the flow," Gold's impulse took over, finally releasing the sensation that has bothered him for so long, way back to the moment when Gold first laid eyes on a certain Red headed Pokedex Stealer, "But now that my stride's broken? I've been such a wreck. I couldn't tell which way was up when I began going out with Silver. It was so hard to keep my feelings at bay because I was so afraid of loosing this asshole!" Gold pointed at Silver, "No offense..."

Silver couldn't help but chuckle, while Giovanni continued to stare down Gold.

"I've been driven to insanity, all because of this feeling inside of my chest that wants to burst out! I didn't know I had the endurance to keep up with this pain for so long," Gold then bowed to Giovanni, "... I'm madly in love with your son, Giovanni."

Both Giovanni and Silver looked at Gold with their mouths wide open.

"I really... Really am in love with you Silver,' Gold stood straight up, now looking at the red head with a sincere look, "I dunno if you feel the same way or anything but-"

"You dumbass..." Silver managed to breathe out with a happy smile, giving him his version of a yes.

The two teens then stood beside each other, now looking at Giovanni, who was now more surprised than ever.

"W-Well?" Gold asked, "D-Do you disapprove or not?"

Giovanni sighed and shook his head, "To be honest... I did not think you two would be THIS dramatic."

The two teens then blinked twice in unison.

"I just wanted to know if you were happy, Silver," the father sighed as he placed his hand on Silver's hair, "But now that I've gotten the answer..." Giovanni then looked at Gold with a stern look, "You have my blessing."

At that moment, Gold and Silver looked at each other sighing in relief and happiness,

"But do not think I will not keep my eyes on you, Gold," Giovanni's voice began to grow intimidating, "When you two are in this house, I expect you two not to be horny as all hell."

"F-Father!"

"And another thing," Giovanni continued, not realizing that he is making his son's face turning cherry red and making Gold scared of actually making any advancements in front of Giovanni or any sort when they're inside the house, "If you two happen to mate like Rattatas in heat- for Aecrus' sake, wear protection and don't do it inside of this house... I do not want to happen to walk into both of your... private time, do you understand?"

"Y-Yes sir!" The two teens said immediately.

When night came, Silver offered Gold to spend the night, naturally, Giovanni's fatherly instincts kicked in and ordered that the two slept in different rooms with a staff standing guard outside to make sure Gold wouldn't sneak off into his son's room... unfortunately, Giovanni did not anticipate Silver sneaking into Gold's room at night.

The two were snuggled close together on the bed, Silver resting his head on Gold's chest, while Gold's hand was resting at the back of Silver's head. They were content, now the feeling of a huge burden was lifted from their shoulders.

"... Gold?" Silver asked,

"Yeah...?"

Silver breathes out calmly, "I-... I love you too."

The two males were smiling in the dark, knowing that from this point on... it would be an easy slate. The two eventually drifted off into a deep sleep...

Until Gold and Silver were greeted by their blanket being pulled from their bodies, having a bucket of ice cubes being dropped onto their chests, and Giovanni shouting out, "And another thing! WHEN I GIVE OUT INSTRUCTIONS- I EXPECT YOU TO FOLLOW THEM!" The two teenagers screamed in pain and embarrassment...

Well, almost a clean slate.
