NACK // pistolbitten:
Oh, good fucking grief. It was him. It was Sonic. It was the guy that everyone on this planet feared so much that they were quicker to hide from him than they were a gun in public. The mere fact he knew about his deal with Eggman already caught him off guard, but nothing unsettled him more than that giant, toothy grin with those unsettling eyes.
“… Fuck me,” grumbled Nack under his breath, brim hiding his eyes as his head dipped a bit to the ground. Hearing Nack roll of Sonic’s tongue made him want to break his neck with the heel of his boot, holding himself back only because Sonic would rip him apart before he could even try. If he wanted to survive yet another encounter with this despair-addled puppet, he’d have to do what he hates most: playing nice.
Adjusting his hat after trembling with fear mixed with rage, a giant grin forced its way to the hybrid’s face as he looked into Sonic’s eyes. “Welllll, welll, WELL! If it ain’t my great, good, faaaaan-TASTIC buddy Sonic! Ooooo! Ya know how HAPPY I am t’see ya, partner? Why, look at YOU with that big ol’ grin! I bet’cher gonna get an award fer a smile that wide! Consider me, ehhhhh… ALMOST impressed.”
It’s too hard. It’s just too hard speaking with this fucking monster. He can’t keep up the act for too long. It’s already beginning to break – did Sonic notice how he almost trailed off at the end? No matter how perfect the outlaw was at lying and charming people, he had feelings like anyone else; he just wanted this little shit DEAD already.
“Hrrmmmm…” Turning to his side, his sweat only continued to trickle down his face. With how thick the tension seemed to be, perhaps one could even hear a bead of it plop to the sidewalk below. “Ya know somethin’, Sonic? I’m just– REAL happy t’see ya, buddy-boy. Sprouty-boy. Sonny-boy…”
“I’ve got WORK t’do, though.” He paused as if to let it sink into this Devil’s mind that he wanted this encounter to end right then and there. “Let’s do… Whatever THIS is some other time. Ya know Eggman just like me, buddy: he AIN’T one fer people takin’ their damn time, now is he?”
He was not pleased to see him. Sonic can gather that as much, a light almost silent snicker at the attempt to restrain words he desperately wanted to say. Actions he desperately wanted to act upon. Such tragedy... DOES HE UNSETTLE HIM? SONIC WAS COUNTING ON IT.
The hedgehog was the epitome of PLEASED with his response, friendly line on his face curving into something a tad more malevolent. Smug with his handiwork, even. THE TRAILING DOES NOTHING BUT AMUSE HIM, remind him that Nack could bend and break just like any other being - and the reminder even EXCITED HIM... but these things took TIME. Besides, where was the joy in rushing a BLOOMING DESPAIR?
His eyes went half-lidded the sniper’s words, expression a mix of cast, unimpressed and apathetic. How dull this all was - wanting to end their little game so early. Unfortunately for Nack, no one EVER got what they wanted out of life. DIDN’T HE KNOW THAT? Tsk, tsk, tsk -
But the hedgehog’s attention span to the subject was supposedly cut short, a tactical diversion. To others, it would seem he was easily distracted - BUT SONIC WAS NOT, MULLING OVER THE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS OF PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS AND HOW BEST TO UTILIZE THEM. And thus, the hedgehog smiled brightly, chipper at the response without any trace of the former malice within it.
❝ Aw, sure, I do! That’s SUCH a definin’ characteristic of his, after all! ❞ the hedgehog exclaimed gleefully, a lighthearted grin crossing his features; THE FONDNESS HIDING MALICIOUS INTERIOR MOTIVE. He thought for a moment, then shrugged outwardly, gaze lazy and relaxed. ❝ But hey! Ya’ don’t need to WORRY so much, pal! You’ll never be late while the world renowned HERO Sonic the Hedgehog’s around! ❞
HERO... There’s so much deluded PRIDE in that word; as if the blue hedgehog’s moral compass HADN’T been bent and broken, HADN’T been stretched in every direction he’d happily catered to any horrific whim the despicable woman asked of him. Did he really believe in that after all this time?
HE WAS BROKEN. HE HAD NO CHOICE.
If his past self could see him now, he would have been sickened to the core.
❝ MIND YOU, there’s no seatbelts - so it’s a BIT of a bumpy ride, but whatcha’ gonna’ do, huh? ❞ He was PLAYFUL with his implications, expression on his face mischevious as he stretched his legs. Hmm...
