Chapter 12 ~ Response

[Skylar's POV]

After a long hot shower, I slipped on black leggings (All of my pajamas are still in the laundry service) when someone banged on the door.

"Skylar! Open up!" Gold yelled.

I rummaged inside my closet, trying to find my lavender sweater and a white shirt, as usual.

"Hurry up!"

"Just a minute!"

"Skylar! Someone wants to talk to you!"

"I don't have a shirt on yet, damnit Gold!" I yelled frantically, putting the shirt on and the sweater afterwards.

That shut him up, thank goodness. I could hear his voice talking loudly.

"Said she's getting dressed.... No, I did not! Arceus I swear, IdidnotIdidnotIdidnot!

Go ask her for your self, then."

Let him wait for a while, I have to do something 'bout my wet hair first. Don't need to style it up for bedtime, though. I switched on the hair dryer and blowdried  my hair for exactly five seconds. I didn't know that he was on the other side of the wall, so when I opened the door I accidentally hit his face upon doing so.

"Don't really wha- oww, Skylar!" he complained, rubbing his nose.

"Sorry." I apologized, then snatched his Pokégear from him.

"Silver!" I exclaimed, looking at caller ID.

"Skylar, Gold didn't peek at you while you were changing, did he?" Silver panicked.

"PERVERT!" I yelled into the Pokégear. Gold snickered, giving me a sly look.

Silver just laughed. "Kidding. How are you?"

"How is Lace?" I asked back, getting the lump out of my throat.

"You wanna talk to her?"

"No thanks, I'm good."

"What's wrong?" Silver asked, recognizing my worried tone.

"Nothing, really, just tired."

"Sure, like you'd get too tired to talk to your Pokémon. Don't lie to me, Skylar."

I can't tell him, as much as I want to. He already has Green and Yellow in his hands. I don't want to be a burden to anyone.

He sighed. "I'm sorry I didn't contact you guys lately. But Skylar, if there's something wrong...... Does Gold know about this already?"

I nodded, not caring that he didn't see me though. "Yeah."

"And what did he say about it?"

"Well, he noticed that I was upset, so he did everything he possibly could just to make me smile." I said, walking back into my room, laying down on my bed to relax.

Gold followed me in, sitting down beside me.

"Ehem, ehem." Silver coughed, and pretended to clear his throat.

I noticed Gold slightly blushing. I held out his Pokégear to him, putting it on loudspeaker.

"SHE'S TOO YOUNG FOR ME, I SWEAR THAT I LIKE CRYS, ONLY CRYS!" Gold bellowed, not taking it.

Silver howled with laughter. "I already know that. Don't give her too much trouble, got that?"

"Relax Silver, he isn't giving me any trouble at all." I assured him.
