This is one of my favorite ships, and I've always had the idea that Silver wouldn't be too comfortable with the standards usually given to relationships by society.

Enjoy.

"Is that the champion's boyfriend?"

"The one tagging along behind her?"

"I don't think so, they've barely even held hands, let alone kissed the entire time they've been here."

"If I were her I'd ditch him right away, why keep him if he can't commit you know? He's probably only going out with her for popularity anyway."

"Hey, don't mind them." Silver took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, he shouldn't pay them any mind, but he couldn't help it.

"Yeah, sorry." he mumbled, calming himself. He was here to have a good time with Kotone, he didn't need other people to ruin that for him, or for her.

He knew it was natural for everyone to know who the champion was, she was so well known that most people talked with her like they were old friends, but that's just the kind of person Kotone was. She could make friends with anyone if she wanted to.

She made friends with him didn't she? And that was a feat all on its own.

What Silver hadn't expected, was for everyone to know who he was. He guessed it was probably because he had spent a large portion of his journey battling with the brunette, but people constantly looked down on him.

"Isn't he the son of Giovanni? Who'd ever go out with the son of that creep?"

"He could've forced her, it wouldn't surprise me, I heard he's really volatile."

Silver scowled, these people were getting on his nerves. Not only were they beating down on him, but they were slandering Kotone's name, and it was seriously getting on his nerves.

He felt a warm hand slide into his own, he stole a glance at his girlfriend and she smiled at him, "Is this okay?" she asked, careful to hold his hand loosely before he responded.

Silver nodded, he wasn't big on physical contact, especially in public, but there were times that it felt nice, like now. He liked the occasional hug, and when they had privacy he even sat close enough to her that they were touching.

He didn't get why it was such a big deal. It's not like he didn't love her, he really did, more than he'd admit out loud at the moment. Societal standards of what a couple should be bothered him though. He didn't feel comfortable with it just yet.

Kotone locked their fingers together and swung their arms lightly back and forth, and Silver began to wonder.

Does she want more out of our relationship?

Even though he wasn't particularly fond of the thought, did she want to move on to things couples did, like cuddling more often and...

Kissing?

He cuddled with her sometimes, and at times he was uncomfortable with even that level of contact. He didn't know how he would feel about kissing, but he didn't really like the thought.

But if she wanted that, was Silver ready to provide?

He didn't want to disappoint her, and he certainly didn't want her to think he didn't love her. Was kissing a requirement to show that type of affection? Is that why people did it? To show how much they cared?

"Hey Silver, are you okay? I was going to ask if you if we could go to the clothing store next." Kotone asked, pulling him from his thought filled daze.
