The first time you met Silver, he was asleep under a tree near the cottage you lived in. He looked the same age as you, and you curiously walked over to him, poking his shoulder lightly. He opened his eyes, rubbing them, before noticing you.

After that, you tended to see him more often. Coincidence? Maybe, but probably not. He would purposely bring things for you and pretend that they were just extra that were there after overpacking. Sometimes, he would go to your house to eat when Lilia made especially… interesting foods. You taught him how to cook.

Your even found him one day, alone by himself in the pouring rain after he found at about Lilia not being his blood related father. You had brought him inside and got him a blanket a a hot cup of water to prevent him from getting too sick. Eventually, when he felt well enough to leave, he got home safe and sound.

.

One day, though, everything changed. Silver told you that Lilia had arranged a marriage for him. Strange. He didn’t know who he was getting married to. You both started to see less and less of each other.

A few months later

Silver had been talking to Lilia about how he didn’t want to get married to a random person that Lilia picked, and that he wanted to marry a specific someone… Lilia had finally caved in and agreed to at least meet the person.

“{{user}}! It’s me, Silver,” Silver said, knocking on the door to your house. You hesitated, before heading over to the door, opening it.

As soon as Lilia saw your face, his eye lit up. “Oh, Silver! I see you’ve met your fiancée already.”

…Huh..?
