So it was for the reason he hoped wasn’t true… It hurt to hear and he couldn’t help a pained look, but he didn’t want to look pityingly at his friend. It’s insulting, he felt. The life he had lived was largely sheltered and safe, privileged to the degree he hadn’t often considered how others might be living very differently from him. Even if he might not be as close a friend in Gold’s eyes as Silver, he could sense the warmth behind his look and couldn’t doubt his affection. Maybe reuniting with Silver might steal him away, maybe Trip was destined to be forgotten, but for now…
“Yeah.”
That was all he could say in response, but he thought of what he could do for Gold, both to allow him to enjoy what he hadn’t had the chance to growing up and, perhaps more selfishly, in the hopes of securing Gold’s love in the way he knew how to: material gifts.
