"Silver," Gladion whispered, "Are you awake?"

Silver threw his covers over his head, "No."

Gladion shook Silver by the shoulder, "Can I come into bed with you?"

Silver chuckled dryly, "I thought you weren't gay."

"I'm not. You're warm. I'm cold."

Silver removed the covers from his face and looked up at the blond at the side of his bed. He groaned and pat the empty spot next to him.

Gladion grinned and climbed into bed next to Silver.

"Wanna spoon?" Silver asked, laughing to himself quietly.

"Fuck you."

"No thanks, I'm taken."

Silver and Gladion both woke up to sniffling.

Silver smacked Gladion's face, "Shut up..." he mumbled.

"It ain't me..." Gladion grumbled, sitting up. He yawned and scratched his stomach, "Hilda?"

Silver sat up and rubbed his eyes, "What're you doing here, Hilda?"

Hilda sniffled and the boys were immediately awake, "I-I had a bad dream..." she whispered, "Can I sleep in here?"

Gladion immediately nodded and took Hilda's hands. He pulled her in between him and Silver, and the bed was becoming incredibly crowded.

"Now we might really have to spoon..." Silver groaned, flopping back down in bed and turning his back to his friends.

Hilda and Gladion laid back down and Hilda snuggled into Gladion.

"What happened, Hilda?" Gladion whispered, "Do you wanna talk about it?"

Hilda held back a sob, "I'd rather not..."

Gladion stroked Hilda's hair, "That's okay. We're here for you," he said, "Right?" He growled, kicking Silver.

Silver sighed and turned towards his friends, nuzzling his face into Hilda's shoulder, "Yeah. Of course..."

Hilda turned slightly to be able to scratch Silver's hair, "Thanks boys..." she sniffled.

"Mhmm..." The boys hummed, drifting off.

Hilda turned onto her stomach, "Can you guys sing me something?"

Gladion groaned, but Silver didn't waste any time, "Won't you help me sober up...Growing up it made me numb, and I wanna feel something again..." he sang tiredly.

Gladion smiled and copied his friend's song choice, "Won't you help me sober up...All the big kids they got drunk, and I wanna feel something again..."

The both both took tired breaths and finished the song together, "Won't you help me feel something again...Can I finally feel something again?"

Hilda dozed off. For awhile, all the boys heard was her steady breathing.

"Do you think it's weird?" Gladion whispered.

Silver rolled his eyes, just wanting to go to sleep, "Is what weird?"

"Our relationship," Gladion clarified, "The three of us?"

Silver thought for a minute, "I dunno...I've never had any close friends before."

"What about Gold?"

Silver tsked, "What about 'I hate that guy' does no one understand?"

"Well I used to hate Hau."

"Did Hau ever try to get in bed with you and your girlfriend?"

"No..."

"Well then, it sounds like our situations are different."

Gladion frowned and didn't respond.

"How were you so good at comforting Hilda?" Silver asked.

Gladion smiled sadly, "Moon has lots of bad dreams. You just gotta be patient."

Hilda shifted in her sleep towards Silver. She snuggled into his chest.

Silver sighed and rested his head on top of Hilda's. He wrapped an arms around her loosely, "I'm going to bed," he whispered, "Don't fucking wake me up again."

Gladion wrapped an arm around Hilda's waist and nuzzled his face into her shoulder, "Don't get handsy."

"Oh like how you are?"

"I'm not getting handsy. I'm cold."

"You both better shut up..." Hilda whispered sleepily.

"Yes ma'am..." Gladion said, drifting off.

Silver nodded silently and brushed Gladion's bangs from his face. He pulled the covers over his friends more and laid his head down to sleep.

The next thing he knew, it was morning, and they all had aching muscles from sleeping weirdly.
