"You did it again." Gold grimaced inwardly at the familiar voice in the doorway, half wondering if he should be glad (or dread) the fact that Silver of all people was visiting him, "Didn't they warn you not to rush in like that? Look at you." Look at him indeed Gold slowly hefted his foot back onto the bed where he was supposed to be resting it, "You broke--"
"--my foot, a few of my toes, some bone in my lower leg, threw out my knee pretty badly, and had my shoulder dislocated." He prattled off, sighing, "Yeah I know. It's my body--of course the doctor told me that."
"And here I thought they doped you up on pain meds." Silver's eyes focused on the bottle sitting on the table by Gold's bed, "Still are, apparently." His eyes turned back to Gold, this time serious, "What were you thinking?"
"I wasn't." It was the truth.
Silver shook his head, "You--they won't treat you like a hero."
Gold sighed and leaned back against the pillows, "Y'know, that woulda bothered me once upon a time, but I don't give a crap now." He raised a finger and pointed it at the ceiling, tracing an imaginary pattern in the air above his head, one he'd made up years ago and somehow (not that his memory was that bad) still remembered.
"You're worse than I am."
"That's because you're a jerk." Silver growled, "But you're the one with the Heart of Gold--not me. I don't care if they don't consider me a hero--or know the reason why I did what I did."
There was a moment of silence, then Silver spoke up again, "Why did you do what you did?"
"Because I wanted to." Silver blinked, "I thought it was 'right'. It's why I do anything. Life'd be boring if I always did what other people thought was right." He hefted himself up a little higher, pressing his head against the headboard now, "Sure they coincide but you should know that better than anyone, right?"
Silver snorted and shook his head, "Know that you're an idiot? Maybe." He paused for a moment, Gold could see the debate in his eyes--now was the moment to either leave or stay, he was choosing the best option--"But I understand. I think." He took a step forward, "You're still a hotblooded idiot--don't think I'll be nice to you when you're hurt."
But you already have been. Gold laughed instead.
