Lost to the point of Insanity (Lost Silver love story)

Chapter 9

A little girl, shoulder length red hair and brown eyes full of life, skipped down the street holding a middle aged woman's hand. The woman smiled, her dimples appearing, before crouching down to the small girl.

"You excited to see Daddy again?" She asked.

The little girl nodded vigorously, a wide smile on her face.

"Rami, you're gonna stay with Daddy for a bit. I'll be gone for a while"

"Are you gonna be there for my birthday?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. You're turning double digits soon! You must be so excited for that!"

Rami squealed, jumping up and down. Rami's mom giggled before grabbing ahold of Rami's dainty hands and continued to walk to their destination.
---------------------------------
Rami yelped, sitting upright and breathing unevenly. Her vision was cut in half and she felt as if her eyes were throbbing....well....one of them at least.

Footsteps rushed to where Rami was, causing her to freeze and stare at the door. It swung open, revealing her nightmare.

Gold was still here. He didn't leave.

"You're okay...!" He exclaimed, rushing up to Rami.

She closed her good eye and shrunk back into the bed she realised she was on. Gold seemed a bit phased by this.

"What's w-wrong?" Worry laced his words.

Rami didn't respond. She just stared at him, making sure that he didn't 'attack' her while she was vulnerable. Gold seemed to have read Rami's mind.

"I'm not going to hurt you. If I was, I would've done it ages ago"

Rami, completely stiff, pointed a finger at Gold.

"Your name is Gold....right?" She whispered, scared that if she annoyed him, he would change his mind and attack.

Gold did the opposite, he smiled wide and practically pounced on Rami, causing her to squeak.

"You know who I am! Thank you!" He shouted, hugging Rami tightly.

She stayed tense, but soon started melting into the hug.

'Why am I so relaxed!?'

Gold pulled away, that big grin still on his face. It soon started to fade though.

"Nobody really.....calls me that anymore..." He started rubbing his neck and looked down at the ground.

".....Um......What do they call you?" Rami asked but soon hid under the blanket, fearing that she said the wrong thing.

"L-Lost Silver... Not many people know my real name....not before I died..."

Rami peeped through the blanket.

'Is he dead?'

'Lost Silver' looked at where Rami was, seeing a massive pile of blankets instead.

"What are you doing under there?" He sounded as if he were genuinely curious.

"U-Um.....things...?"

"Can I join?"

"Depends.....," A pang hit Rami's heart, an emotion she hasn't felt in ages finally came back. "What's the password?"

Rami's giggle sounded from under the mass of blankets while Silver gave her a weird look.

"What?"

"If you tell me the password...you come in. If you don't......you stay out there and I stay in this comfy fort!"

"Oh..! Um.....," Silver started to think. "Is it-"

He cut himself off and basically tackled Rami to the bed, a bunch of blankets separating from the fort.

"No...! The fort!"

Silver stared at the mess of blankets for a brief moment, turning his attention back to Rami soon after.

"How about we do something else?" He asked, his hand accidentally poking Rami's sides. As a reflex, she jumped and moved away from the hand.

Silver stared at Rami before realising something.

"Somebody's ticklish~"

"N-No! I just-"

"I know exactly what to do with you~" silver cut Rami off, an evil smirk stretching across his face.

Before Rami could process anything, Silver was on top of Rami, using one arm to hold both of Rami's arms above her head and one arm about to start poking Rami.

'Oh no! Not tickle torture!!'
