Sonic is acting strange.
From the moment he entered the cave at the top of the mountain and going on even after Shadow finished the battle, he was more energetic, talking faster than usual, to his friends’s eyes happier than they had ever seen him before. But deep inside his mind and heart, he felt more melancholic than anything.
Rouge said something about to going visit Shadow, wherever he’d gone, though it’s not probable that Shadow would gift her a powerful gem of inter dimensional proportions, it’s still a possibility. He finds himself comfortable with the idea of either of them guarding it, after all, Shadow would never let it bring chaos to their lives again, and now he knows Rouge it’s a better leader than he could ever be, they both would make the right call.
Sparring with Knuckles was as much of a way to get the stress out of his system as it is a reminder that the guardian isn’t a glory driven danger prone sailor, nor a extremely paranoid jungle survivor, and definitely not a soldier willing to hit an 8 year old if it means saving the world, no, he’s just Knucks. Ready to put him back in his tracks every time he goes off, same old Knucklehead.
Asking Amy to help him bake a cake to celebrate their victory on the mountain took her by surprise, not expecting Sonic to have the consideration or patience to think about and prepare that kind of gift just so their friends would enjoy it together. But what really shook her to the core was how many times he thanked her through the making, in his mind just one of those “thank you” was for the cake, the rest of them were for everything else.
Tails knows Sonic is acting strange.
it wasn’t just the sudden consideration on his words and actions, but also the eagerness to just spend time with them, an insane amount of time in which he paid attention to everyone and everything, he looked to the sea as if it was more of a new racetrack than an obstacle to his speed, he turned his sight to the sky as if he’d forgotten it was blue, and gazed to the palm trees as if he’d never seen one before. But most of it all, between his friends and the rest of the world, Sonic was looking at him.
It wasn’t the normal look he’d give him everyday, being the only one Sonic hadn’t been alone with since the mountain battle was weird enough, they would usually race and joke together after every battle, but not this time; Sonic was actively keeping him at arms length while never getting his eyes off of him, It didn’t matter who was Sonic talking to or what was he doing, if Tails was around, he was looking at him.
Every time he was smiling he would look back to see if he was smiling too, when one of his friends tried to approach him Sonic would instantly get in their way without any more reason than to talk to them, if there was a sudden movement or loud noise Sonic would turn to him as if to expect him to be gone, the calmness in his body being noticeable every time he found him.
It felt wrong, it felt distant, it felt as if he was a problem. He hasn’t felt like this in years.
Hours and hours later when their friends finally got too tired of watching Sonic’s odd behavior they all went their own way for the night, with Rouge just disappearing in the dark, Knuckles claiming he had places to be, and Amy saying the day had drained her and she needed sleep, Sonic and Tails were finally alone.
The walk to Tails’ lab was quick, but quiet. The silence prevailed all the way before they entered the house and closed the door, then it wasn’t quiet anymore.
With the way Sonic practically launched himself over Tails knocking the air out of him as he hugged the kit tightly, both falling to the floor as Sonic held him against his chest with one hand while the other one placed itself securing the fox’s head just below Sonic’s chin. Tails was quiet, way too shocked with the sudden affection after a whole day of being so close while feeling so far away. But Sonic’s sobs and whimpers weren’t quiet at all.
They were loud and broken, not forming any comprehensible words as hiccups broke in every time it seemed like he was actually trying to say something, as if he held back from crying for hours, It felt guilty, sorrowful, and desperate.
Tails found himself breaking his silence and asking repeatedly “what’s wrong?!” as he reciprocated the hug just for Sonic to tighten his arms around him, breaking into fully crying this time, with a sea of tears falling from the speedster’s eyes to the genius’ head, not letting him go even for a second, not loosening his grip after what felt like hours of holding his little brother, who held him back just as tightly.
Even if the tears stopped, their embrace didn’t, with the morning warmth closer than midnight’s coldness the blue hedgehog found himself surrounding the sleepy fox as he fought sleep’s calling to stay with his big brother.
“I love you” was muttered to the boy’s ears as he was claimed by the land of dreams, in which he could fly all day with the shining star he called his brother.
Tails wasn’t sure if that whisper was part of his dream. Sonic knew it wasn’t

Nine, having been so badly mistreated his whole life, having absolutely no one there for him, left unable to trust anyone believing everyone would only ever be out to hurt him... finally receiving unconditional love and kindness after a lifetime of knowing absolutely nothing of the sort, now having a big bro there for him who was so patient with him knowing how complicated everything was, who despite everything never gave up on him and never stopped being there for him… Nine realizing and finally able to fully trust now that he always did and always will have a friend in Sonic... knowing he's not alone anymore and that he finally does have one person he can trust who genuinely does and will always care for him... I cry it’s so good

“I can’t comfort both you and Chris.” Nick says as he runs his fingers through my hair. My head is laid on his lap and I cry. It’s been like this for hours. It’s only been a day after that whole incident over the phone.
“Chris is-“
“A dick, a douche, a dumbass, I know. But besides the three d’s he’s also my brother. And I know he’s liked you for years.”
“Then he shouldn’t have acted like that.” I sob.
“That’s just Chris.”
“I don’t want him if that’s who he is, Nick!” I say through my sobs.
Nick sighs. “I know. I know honey.” He runs his fingers through my hair once again.
I let the tears run down my cheeks for a while longer before deciding to sit up. I lean my head in Nick’s shoulder and sniffle. “I hate to… to ask this but… Chris…”
Before I could even ask my question Nick answers, knowing what I was going to say. “He cried for hours that night. Neither me or Matt could calm him down. He locked himself in his room and almost tore everything apart, mom and dad were so concerned he’d hurt himself by throwing shit he- He really does care about you y/n.”
“Then why didn’t he show it? Why was he always with other girls? Why would he never say anything?”
“That’s just not Chris.”
“Stop. Stop saying that!” I begin to sob again. “Of Chris really wanted me to be with him then he wouldn’t have done that shit. Period. That’s it.” I swallow the lump in my throat.
Nick sighs once again. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me in closer. “It’s gonna be okay, I promise.” He mumbles as he holds me close. “I’ll talk to him for you.”
“No!” I sit up. “I’m done Nick. I’m done with him. For four years I’ve liked him. For four years I’ve watched him flirt and sleep around with other girls. For four years he’s messed around with my feelings and strung me along and led me to nothing. I’m done. I don’t want you to talk to him I want to never see him again!”
“Y/n…”
“Nick I can’t do it anymore.”
Nick looks at me with understanding eyes before nodding. “Okay.” Is all he says as I lay my head back down on his lap and cry more.
I must have fallen asleep because I wake up in my bed, alone, hours later. I sit up and rub my stuffy eyes. I look around my room for any sign of Nick leaving, but his bag still sits in the chair that Chris always sits in. Sat in…
I sit up fully and as I do so, Nick walks into my bedroom. He seems surprised I’m awake as he says “Hey, you’re up!” He sits next to me on my bed. “I was waiting for you to wake up so we can order some food.”
“I’m not hungry.” I mumble and hug my knees to my chest, closing my eyes.
“Come on, y/n you gotta eat something.” Nick insists. “I’ll buy you Subway, I know you love Subway.”
I shake my head. “Not Subway.” I mumble. Subway would remind me too much of Chris.
“Oh, right. I forgot.” Nick looks down. “Sonic then?” He suggests.
“I’m not hungry Nick.” I groan and lay back down on my bed. Nick pulls my back up by my shoulders.
“You need to eat something.”
“Nick-“
“Chris isn’t work starving yourself over.”
I stay silent and lean my head back. My breath gets shaky and I feel tears start up again. “Let’s go.” I whisper.
Nicks face lights up and he quickly stands from my bed and pulls me up. I walk with him down the stairs and sit at the island counter in my kitchen. Nick finishes his DoorDash order and sets his phone down on the counter.
“Are you hoping to see Brandon?” I ask Nick. Brandon is the guy who usually picks up Nicks DoorDash orders, a guy Nick has a thing for.
“Does or doesn’t, I don’t care.” Nick shrugs but there’s a faint blush on his cheeks.
I giggle and pick up my phone from its charger. 14 notifications from missed calls from Chris, along with 32 text messages from him. The smile fades.
“Well that didn’t last long. What’s wrong?” Nick asks. “Is it Chris? He called you didn’t he?”
“Fourteen times.” I nod.
“Just listen to me before you interrupt me.” Nick says as he stands up. He walks over and stands next to me. “The day I introduced you and Chris to each other he wouldn’t shut up about how he met the love of his life. He kept asking for days after when he’d be able to see you again.”
“You already told me all this. He did it for a while and then he-“
“He never stopped. You just assumed he did. It’s just been getting more and more this last few months. To the point where he begged me to get you to hang out with him somehow. That’s why I asked you to tutor him.” Nick takes a breath before continuing. “Chris has a fear of relationships. He thinks if you two got together he’d be a nod boyfriend to you.”
“So he sleeps with every other girl?”
“Chris wants to be with you.”
I pause to gather my thoughts. “I can’t.”
“Why? What did he do that was so bad? Threaten a guy because he wanted to date you, so what?”
“You do hear yourself right?”
“Y/n, please. Think about this. What did he do?”
“He had the audacity to claim me and tell me I couldn’t be with anyone but he can sleep with any girl he wants! It’s a double standard!”
“If you would tell him how you feel he’d stop, I know he would.”
“Chris wouldn’t stop sleeping around for anything.”
“You don’t hear the way he talks about you when he comes home from your study sessions. He really does like you. I’m forced to hear about it.”
“Nick, you’re my best friend you’re with me all the time.”
“But I don’t want to hear about how much my brother wishes he was with you in his bed.”
“Oh wow so that’s the shit he says about me.”
“No- y/n I’m not- That’s not the shit he says I’m just saying… I don’t want to hear about how much he’s into you. You’re my best friend and he’s my brother, I don’t want to image you two together like that.”
“You’ve spent the last fifteen hours trying to get me to forgive him and get with him.”
Nick groans. “Stop being so difficult.”
“Never.” I tease.
It’s silent for a bit as I look at Nick and think about what he’s been telling me. Suddenly I don’t feel so bad. I don’t feel like crying so much.

goddamn how many bodyguards do you have
And
who ordered the 'depressing backstory'?
bodyguards;
Tails could feel his nervousness shoot through the roof as he followed Sonic to the field, one of his paws tightly gripping the metal bat the hedgehog told him to hold to keep him from picking at his fur as the other squeezed the older’s paw. Tom and Maddie had decided that it'd be good for Tails to attend Sonic's practice today. It'd give him a chance to socialize with other kids without being too overwhelmed by it since they'll be more focused on practicing. And while he didn't distrust the humans, he couldn't help but disagree. Being surrounded by a group of teenagers never ended well for him. He's fairly sure he's got some lasting marks to prove it, too. But the adults have done nothing but show him love and kindness, he didn't want to go against their wishes. “Hey guys!” Sonic greeted with a wide smile, using the paw that wasn't holding onto the fox to wave at his baseball team. He got a few different greetings from his teammates in response, “My little bro is gonna watch us today.” Tails’ ears pressed against his head when he was addressed, his cheeks flushing as he hid behind the hedgehog. He was still getting used to the title of being Sonic's brother, it felt like a dream. “Finally!” One of the boys with brown hair, green eyes, and pale skin groaned, placing a hand on his hip as he gave Sonic a frown, “We've only been asking you to bring him for, like, forever!” “Austin’s right!” A girl with much darker skin said, standing up from where she had been sitting on the ground. The beads in her braided hair clinked together as she ran up to the mobians. “We’ve been waiting for him!” Tails squeaked quietly as Sonic laughed, “He wasn’t ready to come yet, Aniyah. He just got here a few months ago.” He explained, letting go of the fox's paw to pull him into a side hug.
this fic is basically me taking my brother's old baseball team and making them sonic's lmao
backstory:
Sonic nearly jumped out of his skin when he turned and came face to face with the little fox. He had just been up on the crow’s nest, how was he so silent? Sails didn't look at him though. His eyes were staring at the deck of the Angel’s Voyage, “Ye want me tale, don't ya?” He asked, almost too quiet for the hedgehog to hear him. “Huh?” Sonic blinked at the fox dumbfounded. It had only been an hour or so since their last interaction and the kit was obviously not in the mood to share his story any time soon. What changed? “I..” The fox trailed off. His cheeks flushed red in what the older assumed was embarrassment before he turned to face the sea instead, “I'm sorry.” “For what?” Sonic didn't think the kid needed to apologize for anything. “For gettin’ agro with ye.” Sails grumbled, one of his tails raising so he could pick at the fur on it. “Rose and I talked, and–” “Sails, no,” The teen interrupted the younger, shaking his head, “You're right to be upset with me. I pushed you too much. I'm sorry” The kit looked up at him at that, blinking in surprise at the apology. He wasn't used to people saying sorry when they upset him. “Whatever.” Sails said, shaking his head and looking away once again, “Do ye want me tale or not?" "Only if you want to tell it." Sonic smiled at the fox despite knowing the kid wasn't looking at him. “It's your choice, kiddo.” The fox turned to glare at him at the nickname, “Don't call me that.” The hedgehog quickly nodded and raised his hands in a surrender, “Alright, alright. No nicknames, got it.”
finally revealing who's getting the depressing backstory lmao
i wanted to play around with the prime tails trio's past and this is sails's. i have gone into mangey and nine's too much just yet, but they'll get there own trauma <3

Tails is rather quiet when Sonic talks about how they need to be patient with Knuckles like how Tom and Maddie were for him, not even bringing up how he's handling Earth up as a newbie himself, so could it be possible our littlest buddy has hidden feelings similar to Knuckles' adjustments? I guess that's for the third movie to answer since we're currently in Knuckles' story, after all.
Tumblr media
Hi Hon!❤️✨
I’ve rewatched the scene over and over again before answering this ask. To me, it doesn’t look like Tails is hiding anything. He smiles, he nods, he even does a relieved sigh before nodding again to Sonic’s statement. I’m not really seeing how it could indicate that he’s hiding his feelings to adjusting to earth. He looks pretty comfortable and has found his place. In fact, he looks the happiest that we’ve ever seen him in SCU.
Tails isn’t experiencing a culture shock because he’s educated himself on earth customs. He’s viewed Sonic from his lab, so he’s got an idea of how earth “works.” He fully embraced Sonic accepting him as being his pal/brother. He even allowed Maddie to hug him in the second film. For a guy that was pretty isolated from his village (due to taunting and being called a “freak”), he’s fully embraced being a part of the Wachowski family.
I don’t think that this is a concept that will be explored in Sonic 3. Tails doesn’t need to say anything in this scene because he agrees with what Sonic is saying.

(Movie)Knuckles x (platonic!) Reader
A little fic I made on a whim, after discovering that echidnas had pouches.
The Pouch
You stared at the echidna. He stares back, confused by your expression.
"How long?"You ask, not even needing to finish your sentence for him to know what you meant.
"Uh, my entire life? Oh wait, no, apologies. When I was just growing out of my puggle years."
"So, at least, since we've known each other, you've had this?" 
He nods.
Let's rewind. 
You were asked by the Wachowski couple to watch over their sons for a day. Babysit basically. Of course you agreed. Honestly though,  you'd really only need to look after Sonic. Knuckles, the elder of the three brothers, your best friend, was fairly mature for his age. Though, on rare occasions, he can be roped into mischief, almost always by Sonic.
The youngest of the three, Tails, would be going to work with Maddie. Leaving you three alone.
Tom was the first to leave, with Maddie right behind him. The sheriff hugged each of his sons and ruffling the hair on your head before waving goodbye, as he walked out the door. 
The veterinarian was giving you a quick run down on what the boys could and couldn't do. What they could and couldn't eat, etc.
Her final departing words being-
"By the way. Sonic is grounded again. Knuckles already hid his phone to keep him from finding and getting it again. If you see he's got it, just shoot me a text and I'll handle it through a call or when I get home." 
" Yes, ma'am."
You hear Sonic scoff somewhere behind you and  Knuckles.  
Maddie turns away and checks her purse for everything she'll need. "Alright, well I think that's it. Good luck."
You smile and wave bye as she shuts and locks the door behind her and Tails after the kit quickly hugged you and his siblings. Yelling out a goodbye before taking off toward the car in excitement. Ecstatic about joining his mother and visiting all the animals she cares for.
All three of you watching her as she pulls out of the driveway, and drives past the trees, out of sight. 
You and Knuckles turn around but pause as you're suddenly face to face with a certain smug looking hedgehog.
He rocked back and forth on his feet in front of Knuckles. The echidna already knowing what he's planning, gives him an unamused expression. 
"So Big Red? Mind giving me a hint?"
The echidna frowns with a , "No.", and walks away, with you right beside him.
Sonic grabs his arm, trying to stop him, but Knux just keeps on walking, not caring at all. The hedgehog letting himself be dragged by his brother.
"Oh come on, be a pal!" 
Knuckles waves him off and lays back on the couch beside you. His own phone in hand.
"No. I do not want to be your pal. I am already your brother."
"Ugh!"
He suddenly pauses and turns to you. Big puppy dog eyes at their strongest. 
You take the remote in hand and begin flipping through channels on the t.v. 
"Yeah, I don't think so blue."
"But why? Look, how about five minutes?! Just five, I swear."
You and Knux look at each other, with bored expressions on your faces, then back to your electronics.
Both of you answering, "Nah.", at the same time.
Sonic growls in frustration, but then pulls out the big guns. He takes a deep breath and opens his big mouth.
Ten minutes later of on and on chatter, you and Knux were losing your patience with the blue blur.
Knux is the one to finally give in.
"ALRIGHT!!!" He bursts, partially sitting himself up on his elbows.
You sigh and watch the hedgehog smile, thinking he'd won.
You sigh at the nuisance," Oh my gosh! You can be so annoying!"
He smirks,"Hah, well this annoying hedgehog is about to get his phone back-"
Knuckles sits up all the way, interrupting his brother.
"Not so fast. You can have your device back IF, you can find it within the next two minutes.  You may have it back and we will not say a word to mother. You would just need to give it back before anyone arrives home."
Sonic salutes and gets into running position." When you're ready captain!"
Knuckles lays back down and looks at his phone's clock, "I am not a captain. Go."
One minute and thirty seconds later and he's turned the house upside down, with no sign of his phone. 
'Where is it?!.. Wait!!'
He runs to you and snags your phone, quickly dialing his number and calling it.
You quickly lean towards,  "Hey!" But he holds up a finger, signaling you to wait.
You huff and cross your arms.
Knuckles smiles as he watches the clock. Ten seconds left, then he'll have peace and quiet.
"You will not hear it. Mother turned off its volume for this exact reason." He warns, but what he didn't know, was that Maddie had left it on vibrate.
A faint buzzing noise sounds off and Sonic scrambles around for the device, with no sign of it. 
You're confused. It sounds like it's right beside you, but where?
You look at Knux to see him clench his jaw, and lean forward a bit. Only noticable to you, since you were paying attention and sitting right next to him.
He bites his lip and stares towards Sonic's hand. The one holding your phone and suddenly crosses his arms tightly against himself.
'What is up with him?'
Sonic finally notices with five seconds left. The buzzing was coming from, 'his brother?!'
"What the heck Knux! You ate my phone?!"
Your eyebrows raise, and you look at your friend.
Who's trying to keep a straight face like someone just told him the funniest joke or something. Arms tightened against his stomach. 
"Don't be ridiculous." He manages to say through his giggling.
You don't know why he's fighting a laugh, but the sounds he's making make you smile and start to laugh too. He rarely ever laughed, let alone giggle. So his sudden giggles really hit your funny bone. 
"Why are you laughing?" He asks.
"Huh? Well, why are you laughing?"
The phone stops calling, going to voicemail and Knuckles sigh in relief.
He looks toward his brother and grins. "Looks like you lose, hedgehog."
Sonic groans, frustrated by his defeat. He gently tosses the phone beside you on the couch.
"Well how's that fair! How am I supposed to get it from inside your gut!"
Knux scoffs, " It is not inside me. Of all the foolish-."
This time you call Sonic's phone. The vibrating starts again, making Knuckles sit up with a grunt, and catches himself before a chuckle could escape him.
You and Sonic look at each other, then back to your friend.
That's when Knuckles finally shows you guys. 
He removes his arms from his stomach and raises a hand over it, before reaching into-?! He had a hidden pocket on his stomach?!
Bringing his hand back out, he'd retrieved Sonic's phone, holding it infront of him with a smirk.
Both you and Sonic stared at the phone, then to Knuckles' stomach, where the pouch hid very well because of his fur. 
Knuckles face contorted into one of confusion.
"What?"
And now were back to the present.
"You've had this and you didn't think to tell me!" You grabbed his shoulders and shook him a bit.
"Why would I?! I do not see how having a pouch would be so important as to inform you about it." He said between shakes.
"Dude, this is awsome, you have a body pocket! How is that not important information! What else can you do, or have!"
His mouth is agape still confused by your sudden interest in him because of something as simple as a pouch. A blush covers his muzzle.
"Uh..."
With this distraction, Sonic swipes his phone from the echidna's grip and takes off with a maniacal laugh.
"Haha, sucker! Catch me if you can!"
Knuckles instantly breaks out of his stupor and takes off after him.
"Sonic!!!"
Leaving you thinking of all the awsome and helpful uses he could use his pouch for. He was like a little kangaroo!
You hear something get knocked over and you suddenly remember why you're here.
To watch the brothers so nobody gets hurt and nothing gets damaged. But now that you think about it, even if you tried, you doubt you'd be able to catch up to them. Or have the strength to pull them apart if you could!
Then you have an idea.
"Ha, what was that knucklehead?"
"Why you foul-!"
(*beeeeeeeep* *beeeeeeeep*-)
They both freeze where they are, the sound of somebody calling on their phone with the speaker on. And, as soon as the voice on the other side answers, the boys are suddenly back on the couch. Knuckles holding Sonic's phone and shoving it back in his pouch.
A few seconds before. 
"Hey, (y/n) , how's everything. The boys giving you trouble?" 
Before you could answer, stumbling and grunts echo in the house, getting louder til your two friends are on either side of you, silent. Gazing ahead at the t.v. with blank expressions. You catch Knuckles shoving Sonic's phone back into his pouch. 
"No. No, everything's fine. Just checking up with you, is all. "
"Oh, well thanks hun...And boys?" Her voice grew scary as she addressed the brothers. They both stiffen, knowing she knew they'd done something they shouldn't have. 
"Behave."
"Yes, mom!"
"Yes, mother!"
You say bye to Maddie and hang up.
Your friends glance at you, but quickly are back to the screen when you notice. 
"That wasn't fair. " Sonic pouts.
You shrug." Life's not fair. And besides, how fair do your powers make it for me to babysit you two?"
He grumbles and crosses his arms. 
You look back at your best friend, who was currently laying back on the couch again. Having relaxed since your call to his mom. You pick up where you left off.
Leaning back and holding your head in one hand.
"So?"
He blinks and looks at you, "So...what?"
"What other secrets have you been hiding from me?"
He sits up on his elbows and squints at you, "Why do you insist, so much, in learning about me?"
You shrug, " It's just interesting, and cool. What's the harm in wanting to learn more about my best friend?"
He hums," Nothing, I suppose. And we are friends afterall.. Alright."
"Yes!"
He lays back down and rests his head in his folded arms, behind him.
"First of all, it is called a pouch, not a pocket, as you mentioned before. Its original purpose is to hold and incubate a puggle before and after hatching. For however long their parents can hold their weight, until their spines had almost fully grown in or until they can walk on their own-"
"Wait, wait, wait. Hatching? You came from an egg?" Sonic had interrupted his brother,  honestly surprised by this fact. 
"Of course I hatched, what other way is there?"
The hedgehog turns red, and looks to you for help.
You awkwardly cough into your hand and pat Knux on his arm. "I'll ask Maddie to tell you later. Please, continue. "
"Hmm. Anyways, as far as I can remember,  I don't recall a pouch ever being used for anything else, as it feels strange carrying things in it. I had never used it before, until recently. When mother asked of me to hide his phone." He points at Sonic.
"But he kept finding it, no matter where I hid it. So I gave in and just put in there."
You both look over at the hedgehog again. Who was trying to look innocent.
"For a time, it worked. I've done this several times before and mother had seen me, and did not react. Which is why I was so confused by your surprise to it. "
"Well, you are very animal like, at least compared to humans. And she is a veterinarian, so."
He nods," Perhaps. In any case, just like those previous times, I figured hiding it in the same place would work. What I did not account for was the phone moving about while there."
He held his hand ontop of his pouch. Remembering the strange sensations the phone gave when it moved. It was.. strange, to say the least.
"Oh yeah, what happened with that? Your face looked pretty funny while Sonic was calling his phone."
He removed the phone from his pouch, but this time holding in a slightly tighter grip than earlier, incase Sonic got any ideas, and turned it over in his hand.
"I..do not know. I'd never felt anything like it. I'm not sure what it was."
"Hmm, well, try to explain what it felt like? And I'll see what I can do to figure it out."
He looks at you, then past you, where you knew Sonic was sitting a minute ago. The hedgehog had grown bored and left to the kitchen to make a snack.
"It felt like the buzzing of the device. But.. different. And it made me want to smile..and laugh. Strange isn't it? Like magic."
Your peaceful smile slowly grows into one with playfully malicious intent.
Knuckles frowns." What is with that expression?"
"Oh, nothing. I just think I know what it is."
He raises a brow."You do?"
"Yup, but I'll need to test my theory. Do you mind?"
He is hesitant, but shrugs and watches you reach over and poke around his sides. He twitched a bit and huffed at the feeling, but no smile or laugh.
"Does that feel like earlier?"
"A bit, but not as strong. It's actually rather annoying this wa-AaY!!"
You launched an attack on the poor echidna. Your fingers skittering across his sides and belly, making him grunt at first, but eventually succumbing, forcing high guffaws that evolved into laughter and giggles. You'd grown so used to Knuckles deep voice, but hearing the higher pitched he'd somehow reached, made you smile wide and laugh along with him.
Sonic had been surprised by his brother's outburst, recognizing his voice making all that noise. What he was not expecting, was the reason for it.
A smug grin widens across his face. " He's ticklish!!"
You continue your assault, giggling all the while.
"I guess so!"
Knuckles did not respond. Too preoccupied with trying to catch his breath, his face feeling hot. He should feel humiliated for his actions, but seeing your face and that of his brother, with playful smiles and laughing along with him, pushed those thoughts away.
Besides, he didn't know if he could say anything if he tried. His own laughter taking up whatever breath he could draw in. 
Why did something as simple as touch reduce him to a giggly puggle. 
"Ok, I think that's enough for now." You said in between your laughing.
 His hands covered his stomach as soon as your fingers left. He was trying to catch his breath again, a stupidly silly smile on his face. Leftover laughter fading to giggles as he calms down. 
" That is called tickling, and you my friend are very ticklish, apparently."
"Haha, eh, good, aheh, good to kno-how."
Sonic rubbed his hands together,"Oho ho! Now this is interesting. I could definitely use this next time you hide my phone."
You could hear the gears in his brain already forming plots against his brother.
You look back to Knuckles, with a smirk.
" Sonic is ticklish too."
"Ah! Why would you tell him that!" He cried.
"Eh, just keeping things fair."
A couple hours pass, with you three hanging around the t.v. You were just putting on another movie when you heard the sound of a car rolling up the driveway.
You press pause and get up, along with your friends, to greet whoever was home.
The door unlocks and it's Maddie and Tails.
Tails greets his brothers then you, giving you all another round of hugs, while Maddie walks past, smiling and giving you all a pat or kiss on the head.
"Hey, guys. So how was it? Anything crazy happen or broken things I should know about?"
She's facing away from you guys, not able to see the pointed and worried looks your friends were giving you. A certain blue hedgehog in particular.
"Nope. Everything went well. I even learned something very interesting from today." 
Now it was Knuckles turn to look nervous, and he didn't even know why. 
"Knuckles is part kangaroo." You grin his way, to see your offended friend scrunch his nose and scoff, indignantly.
"I am not. I am one hundred percent echidna. Only echidna blood runs through these veins."
As if purposely ignoring him, Maddie smile at you.
"Why? Did he show you his cute little pouch?"
Knux crosses his arms and looks away from you both, with a huffy," Mother, please."
"Yup. And that's not all." You whisper that last part, walking up behind Knuckles. He barely has a second to turn and see you there before you tackle him down into a cackling mess.
"Wait, no!!-"
"Too late!"
Maddie leans against the wall, watching and laughing along with you two. Tails, hearing the commotion, peeps around the corner, with Sonic right behind him, and sees you ontop of the toppled Knuckles.  
The poor echidna is suddenly saved by the bell. Or in this case, a knock on the door. 
You pause, giving the echidna a chance to breath again, while Sonic goes and opens the door. The sheriff has arrived, and is immediately baffled by the scene before him. 
A wheezing Knuckles with a funny smile and glare directed towards you. Meanwhile,  you're sitting beside him. An oblivious look on your face as you stare off to the side.
Tom blinks for second, then asks, "Uh, what's goin on here?"
Maddie smiles, "(Y/n) was just teaching me something new she learned about our little echidna here."
Tom smirks," And that would be?"
You grin madly and look back to your victim.
"Allow me to demonstrate."
You wiggle your fingers, hovering your hands just above him, making him already unwillingly snicker, knowing what was to come. 
"No, please, mercy!"
"There is no mercy in this house!" 
"No-hOhoHOoO!!!"
Boisterous laughs and chortles fill the air as you show the echidna's father what you'd learned. His family joining in on the laughter at the sight of their more stoic of their family members being reduced to a giggling puddle under you.
"You- eheh, are cruel." His only understandable response amongst his leftover chortles.
Knux doesn't even retaliate or defend himself.  Not daring to move, for fear of lashing out and hurting you. His fists glued to the ground, by sheer will power. A power slowly waning as your assault grows stronger.
You finally let him go when it looks like he's having a hard time holding back and catching a breath. Even afterwards, a string of giggles continues to leave him. The sensation of your tickling still affecting him, even after you'd stopped. 
You give him a sweet little innocent smile."I try."

HAPPY WHOLESOME SONIC AND TAILS WEDNESDAY!!!
...This is sort of my favorite holiday. Mostly because it's weekly and gives me an excuse to make an overload of content for my favorite brothers.
Guess what?! I FINALLY FINISHED THE FIC I STARTED LIKE A MONTH AGO! ENJOY!
"Foxes go floof"
"Stupid water," Sonic grumbled as he ducked into Tails' workshop, his little brother right behind him. It had been pouring outside for hours, and had caught the two right in the middle of a run/flight. They had been quite a distance away from the workshop, which normally wasn't a problem, but the rain made it hard for both of them to go as fast as they normally did. Sonic had had far too many embarrassing incidents of slipping in mud and crashing into trees because of the rain, and it was a lot harder for Tails to fly when his fluffy tails were wet and weighed down with water.
Tails was shivering, and his fur was soaked through and dripping wet; much moreso than Sonic, since his coat was thicker and longer. The second he was indoors, the little fox took off his socks and shoes, which were also filled with water, and made a face.
Sonic did the same, hopping on one foot as he took off each sneaker. He immediately headed for the closet where he knew Tails kept his washcloths and towels, brushing the water off his quills as he walked.
"Hey bro, you want a towel, blanket, or both—"
He broke off and jumped back with a hiss when Tails bent down and shook himself off, spraying excess water everywhere. The moment he'd finished, his golden fur just went POOF, sticking out at least a few inches more than it normally did.
Sonic couldn't help himself. He doubled over laughing, and laughed even harder when Tails just stood there for an extra few seconds, his eyes big in surprise.
"D-Don't move!" he wheezed at last, stumbling to the back of the workshop. "I need to grab the camera!"
Tails rolled his eyes with a tiny grin, but went along with it. The water still soaking him all but forgotten in the silliness, Sonic fumbled for the camera, turned it on, and raced back to his still-poofy brother.
"Make the face you had a second ago!" he pleaded, still on the verge of laughter.
His brother sighed a little, then regained his wide-eyed expression for Sonic. He snapped the picture, and as soon as he was sure the picture had saved, set the camera down and went right back to laughing uncontrollably, this time on the floor.
"You're tired," Tails pointed out with a grin. "It's not even that funny."
"I'm not tired, I swear," Sonic giggled. "It's totally funny. Look!" His voice was practically delirious with glee as he grabbed the camera again, pulled up the photo, and showed him. "I'm framing this and hanging it on the wall."
"Soniiiiic." Despite his supposed annoyance, Tails couldn't help finding his brother's goofy hysterics and the whole situation pretty endearing. "Don't you have enough embarrassing pictures of me in your possession? I don't need all our other friends seeing them too when they come to visit!"
"Yes, you do!" Sonic clambered back to his feet and scooped Tails up in a cradling hug. "They need to see how cute you can look!"
"Hey, you're still wet!" Tails protested, flailing out of Sonic's arms. "I just got dry!"
"Yeah, and it was adorable, too!"
"Okay, okay, your turn!" Tails snatched the towel Sonic had dropped on the floor and took to rubbing down his older brother, much to Sonic's protests. Since Sonic had more quills than fur, it didn't have nearly the same effect, but it did end up completely messing up his head spines.
Sonic shot him a look when he was done, although the stupid smile was still plastered on his face.
"If you're framing that picture and hanging it up, then I'm taking a picture of this and doing the same," Tails announced, a smirk in his voice. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!"
"Fine, fine," Sonic sighed, but stepped back and posed proudly, messy quills and all. Tails snapped the picture and snickered.
"You look like a complete doofus."
"Wouldn't have it any other way." Sonic gave him finger guns, and Tails rolled his eyes yet again.
"I'll print both of those out in the morning," Sonic announced. "But for now, it's been a long day. Whaddya say I make you a cup of mint tea and we call it a day?"
His little brother grinned. "As long as you let me make you a cup of hot chocolate. No taking chances after all that time in the rain. And you're staying here for the night."
"No, duhh." Sonic held up his hand for a fist-bump, then headed to the kitchen, followed closely by Tails. "I need a little break. Water actually drains my power, that's why I hate it."
"That's a lie and you know it," Tails scoffed, grabbing a packet of cocoa from the cupboard while Sonic snatched a mint tea bag from beside the kettle. Tails filled the kettle and turned on the heat.
"Yeh, yeh." Sonic jumped up onto the counter and sat down, falling silent as the two waited for the kettle to boil. Tails climbed up beside him, and, after a moment of yawning, leaned into his brother's side.
Sonic tilted his head down against Tails'.
Both of them had drifted off a little by the time the kettle finally started whistling, and they both jumped a little. Tails moved to take it off the stove, but Sonic held him in place with one hand as he jumped off the counter and turned off the heat. He took a mug down from the cupboard and poured Tails' cup of tea, and was just about to make his own warm drink as well when his brother started whining.
"Hey, I wanted to make your drink," Tails protested, jumping off the counter and landing with a slight thump. "Lemme through."
"Okay, okay," Sonic sighed with a little smile. He stepped aside and let Tails get to it while he added a couple things that he knew the fox kit liked in his tea. After another minute of quiet preparation, the two handed each other their mugs and made their way out to the couches.
Sonic set his mug down on the end table, then grabbed a pillow from the other couch and fluffed it up. Tails had flown into his bedroom, but he flew back out a moment later with his blankets and pillows, which he arranged on the other couch. "I thought a camp-out sounded cool," he informed Sonic with a tired grin, then stepped over and slipped a coaster underneath Sonic's steaming mug.
Sonic reclined on the couch he'd chosen with a contented sigh. "Sounds good, bud. It's been a while since we last had one."
And so the two relaxed there, in sleepy conversation as they sipped their beverages. Tails fell asleep maybe a half hour later, and despite the unplanned events of the evening, Sonic couldn't help but feel like it was the best day he'd had in a while.
💞
(the fluffy ending was sorta unplanned but I ain't complaining :D this'll be posted in the Wattpad Sonic one-shots thingie as soon as I finish the other WSTW fic that was supposed to be published first)

Frozen Fever: STH Edition - Sonic denies he's sick as he tries to give Tails a perfect birthday. Chaos and brotherly love ensues.
Tumblr media
YES YES YES. Just Sonic making sure that his lil bro has the most spectacular B-day ever, I'd like to think it's a milestone B-day, so he'd be turning 10.
He starts off the day waking him up, telling him that he has stuff planned for the entire day and immediately starts showing symptoms of the flu.
Tails sees him sneezing and asks him, "Sonic, are you catching a cold?"
"No, you know that colds are too slow to catch up with someone like me ;) "
"Lame joke, but you sound all stuffy."
"Maybe your ears need cleaning out again."
"Just like your immune system needs cleaning out?"
"Stop sassing me, or there won't be any cake."
"Fine."
Sonic deals with the rushing fever for as long as he can manage for the rest of the day, up until he's become totally delirious, voice cracking, head hot to the touch and saying random mumbo-jumbo.
"Sonic, you really need to rest!"
"YEs, I Am A pEsT. EGgmAn aGreeS wItH tHaT!"
"That's not even close to what I said..."
"Why are you all orange like that???"
"....dear god, he's worse than I thought."
It takes some effort and promises of buying Sonic a duckling (he wouldn't stop saying that, so Tails said he would just to shut him up) and drags him back to the workshop to take care of him.
Tails manages to get him settled down on the couch, make him some soup with orange juice and bread, sits with him, and chat with him for a while as he eats.
"You know, I think I prefer this gift over the others."
" ''This gift"? But I didn't give you anything else since we got home."
"Yeah, but that's the point. We're just here, together, albeit it's due to your extreme sickness, but it's been a while since we just sat and talked. Even though I'm taking care of you, it feels good knowing that you're resting and not trying to torture yourself to make me feel happy."
Sonic smiles. "Aw, I'm glad you think that way about this situation, cause honestly I'm worried that you may get sick too since you're sitting so close to me right now."
Tails shrugged, moving closer and wrapping an arm around his brother, leaning his head against his shoulder. "Oh definitely so, but I'll take my chances."
"You're definitely gonna get sick at this point, bud."
Tails sighed. "Just shush it and let me hug you for once."
Sonic rolled his eyes but gave in and leaned his cheek against the top of his head between his ears. "All right, you win this round, squirt."

thinks about eggman successfully erasing egghog shadow's memories of what made him run away, his time spent with tails and amy while he was away, and that silver ever ran away. thinks about it
honestly im mainly thinking about
1. how disoriented shadow is when he wakes up
2. the process of getting him out of The Tube (draining the green nutrient/sedative combo slime, filling the tube with a compound that breaks down the green slime [eggman has shadow take a deep breath in and out, one for mouth one for nose, to mostly clear out his lungs and sinuses of the green stuff], rinsing, drying, sanitizing spray, THEN the capsule opens)
3. eggy sonic waiting right outside the door bouncing up and down and before the door even fully opens he's already got shadow in a big tearful hug. and eggman says hey, be gentle with him and remember what we talked about (they talked about not telling shadow the truth about why he was out for so long or what really happened). and sonic looks up from shadow's shoulder at eggman, silent gratitude in his expression for making his brother normal again
i thought itd be lame to have part of the buildup to the climax of egghogs be eggman kidnapping the defected boys back but have no actual consequences / have them be saved and nothing changed. silver is just clockwork oranged but shadow is artificial and gerald developed sophisticated systems specifically on manipulating and removing shadow's memories
the effect on silver is just even MORE assurance that going back would be a mistake and that his father is firmly in the wrong. it's the final nail in the coffin of his past life. sonic visits him often, and no matter how many times they talk, no matter how many approaches he takes, there is no breakthrough.
the general sentiment is "don't you see what he's done to me? this isn't kind, this isn't loving. he may have given me a plush bed and a room, but this is a PRISON. he's keeping you in these same chains and you're suffering so badly and you don't even see it for what it is. he's abused you, belittled you, brainwashed you, lied to all of us. and you're complacent in what's happening to me, to shadow... you partially orchestrated us coming back here for your own gain and didn't even listen to us when we told you a long time ago we didn't want to come back. what do you hope to gain from this? all you're gaining is more hurt and you're losing my trust."
OH YEAH also i decided that sonic would pretend to run away, give a sob story to amy about how he's changed, and thus be led right to where shadow and silver are.
lots of complex emotions are had. sonic sees just how much his brothers have changed, have lost their way. and he sees how well they're living. this must be some kind of trick, this kindness is unfamiliar and wrong. indulgence in comforts must be why, or amy and tails brainwashing them must be why, or... y'know, anything. witnessing firsthand how they're living, how they think... he wasn't sure about this at first, but he's sure now. they need guidance and they need to be back to normal so sonic can have them back.
so that night sonic alerts eggman to their location. he raids tails' workshop and takes the boys with him. and sonic says that they're finally going back home.

Wachowski Bros Get Flu Shots:
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Tom and Maddie don’t know what to do. They’ve set the appointment for the boys to get their flu shots, and have yet to tell them.
The boys in question are happily playing with LEGOS without a care in the world.
Tom decides to just rip off the bandage. He sits next to the little group “hey boys! Whatcha building?”
Sonic looks up at him “Barbies Dream House.”
Knuckles nods “I wonder what it is like to have an expansive closet.”
Tails sits up from what he was working on “the elevator is complete!” The boys share a high five all around.
Tom decides… bandage ripping can come later.
Later comes when they’re getting in the car to go. “Where are we going?” Tails asks, kicking his little legs in his seat.
“A quick trip to the doctors!” Maddie responds, resulting in groans from all 3 of the boys. Maddie turns around in her seat as the car begins to move “trust me, you boys need this.”
The brothers look at each other in fear. What is gonna happen to them?
Tom looks at them in the mirror and smiles “flu shots are veeery important.”
The boys say in unison “SHOTS???”
Tom and Maddie cheer, ignoring the horror in their sons faces. Those boys heard shots and immediately thought they were gonna die.
Once they get to the doctors, they’re put in a line. Maddie will be with the boys getting their shots, and Tom is chaos control staying outside the door and making sure the other two don’t run off.
Knuckles is first. Turns out he’s deathly afraid of needles. He’s not whining or crying though, but he is trying to leave. When he’s in the chair, he looks mortified. Maddie tries to distract him by talking to him, but it doesn’t work, because the needle snaps the moment it touches his arm. Knuckles growls and goes behind Maddie, holding his arm. “Mother they tried to stab me. Tell them to stop this at once.” Knuckles complains. Maddie hugs him “baby, we’re just trying to keep you safe. This shot will protect you from getting super sick.. like internal armour.” “Internal armour..?” “Yes, baby.” Knuckles slowly returns to his chair. This time the nurse talks him through everything she’s doing.. unfortunately when he sees the needle he makes a weird sound and passes out. When he’s coming to, he’s still in his chair, and he has a piece of tape holding a cotton ball to his arm. Bro looks betrayed. He doesn’t realize that at some point he woke up and told them to just get it done before promptly passing out again. He’s taken to his brothers and dad to relax for a bit.
Then it’s Sonics turn. They had to drag him in there. All exits had to be blocked due to him trying to escape. Sonics pulling all the stops, yelling, kicking, hissing, the works. Nothing works out for him as he’s put in the chair. The nurse starts preparing the needle. Maddie crouches down in front of Sonic and holds his hand “it’s going to be ok, Sonic. Moms here. I’m not going to let anything bad happen to you.” “Promise?” “Promise.” Maddie scratches behind his ear, making him relax. Next thing he knows, the nurse announces she’s done, and she pops the used needle into the biohazard bin. “Wait- that’s it?” Sonic is shocked. “Yep!” The nurse says. “Man. I freaked out for nothin!” Sonic laughs off his embarrassment.
Tails is next. Unlike his brothers, he has gotten shots before. It doesn’t mean that he likes them, though. He’s a little small for the chair so he sits in Maddie’s lap. He doesn’t dare look at the needle. He closes his eyes and holds his breath, whimpering when he feels the pinch. Maddie rubs his hand to keep him calm. Then it’s done, and his bandage gets a smiley face! “Well done! You were so brave, Miles!” The nurse says digging through a drawer. “I-I was?” Tails asks “yea! You did so good. In fact, so good that you get to have a sticker.” The nurse presents to him a sticker sheet. He picks a jet sticker. Maddie squeezes him, kissing he lil head “I’m so proud of you, Tails.” “Thank you!”
Tails trots back out to find his brothers and father and show them his sticker. They crowd around him, giving him high fives and praises. Sonic and Knuckles totally aren’t jealous that they don’t have stickers. Totally.

A big (but /lh) rant, sorry!
Man I feel im a really bad sonic fan who seriously need to delve into more of the games to really see what canon sonic is truly like, bc I seriously get confused when people call Prime Sonic "not sonic enough". From my memory, sonic had always been a confident, carefree, sassy-ish, reckless hero. I'll have to watch the rest of the episodes but so far the only complaints I've seen is that he's hugged characters two times and was agitated by Chaos Sonic & said smth mean.
Dudes had a rough time and he's disoriented af please give him a break (/j). He doesn't have his friends/team around to motivate/ground him and such like in any other situation he's been in, he's been tossed around from place to place and everything is completely against what he's been used to - even the alternate vers of his friends. He doesn't have anything but Shadow remaining of what he's lost and (despite the hug) it overall had set him immediately into his normal Sonic Hero Mode because he seriously just needed someone in his corner. I think the hugs were more because he's just been through too much and really needed a bit of comfort and confirmation shadow was really there, for Nine- he viewed him as an "almost tails", Nine was the closest he had to his little buddy and he misses Tails so much more than anyone else. He's his little brother, afterall.
I can't think of times where sonic had to go into the unknown with his friends being completely wiped and altered from existence. Though despite this new situation, sonic is still doing what he's always done- getting back up to keep going to do what he believes is right. To me, sonic's determination to save the day is what truly makes him sonic, he's too stubborn to give up on saving the world no matter how many things are stacked against him.
I think, at the very least, what may be going wrong for people is Prime Sonic is, possibly/maybe, taking inspo from the less crazy bits of Archie Sonic (like, the actual cool arcs) and old series sonic, which people don't really regard as sonic anymore. Or at least, in pushing through the old sonic rules, Prime Sonic has been capable of going through traits & arcs that people kinda felt only Archie Sonic would do/had done.
At least, that's my take on Prime Sonic, I like to imagine he is game sonic but just that usual cycle of his changed completely and he's a bit disoriented from it and trying to get his footing back, or maybe he takes place in more earlier games before the sonic we know now. Maybe this is the story of how he becomes the sonic we see in games today, kinda like with what ROTTMNT did with making them pre-ninja in their show.
Then again I could be biased bc I just love this blue blur unconditionally 😔 my only complaint is how uncomfortable how his shoulders look/move make me in Sonic Prime

DAY 1: TOUCHSTARVED
-A part of my Au where the future is terrible, almost everyone is dead and Sonic lives in an underground bunker alone for years. -(I wrote this very late into the day, close to midnight so there might be some holes.)
(link above and same text below)
“Hey Sonic? Where are all pillows and blankets around here? I can’t seem to fi-“, Tails trailed off.
Before him was Sonic placing his sock puppets in a large circle on a sea of blankets and pillows on the mattress lying on the floor. It looked like a nest.
“Oh.”, Sonic paused. He took a good look at the fox and then looked away. “You’re still here.”, the blue hedgehog said definitely. He turn back to keep adjusting the placement of his Knuckles and Amy puppets. “Thought you would have disappeared by now.”
“Why won’t you just believe that I’m real?”, Tails asked. “That I’m actually here right now? I’m not imaginary or one of your hallucinations.”
“Well, that’s a bit of a long story. To make it short, you’re a trick that my mind constantly plays on me when it wants me to keep staying alive.”, Sonic explained. He finished ordering the representations of his dead friends the way he wanted and fell back on his little nest that he made.
The blue hedgehog stared back at Tails as if wondering the conversation was really happening. After a pause the fox knew his brother was not going to say anything else in regards to his questions.
“Scoot over.”, Tails commanded. 
“Why?”, Sonic asked while moving to give Tails some space.
”Because ít’s late, I’m tired, I need some sleep in order to properly fix that time vest, and you took all the blankets and pillows.
”You never-“, Sonic started to questioned but got interrupted.
”That’s because I’m not a figment of your goddamn imagination, Sonic. Stop telling me that.”, the fox said in a loud angrily frustrated voice. He felt so tired of trying to prove and explain to his brother that he wasn’t insane for seeing a past version of his little brother alive and that he was real and not an imaginary person his mind came up with to help cope with the loneliness of the underground bunker. 
The silence was deafening after that. Sonic stared more blankly at Tails as if he was steeling himself from feeling anything. 
“I’m sorry.” the fox apologized to the blue hedgehog. “It’s just that I don’t know what to do or say that will get you to understand that I’m here now.”
Sonic continued to be silent. Knowing that the blue hedgehog was not in the mood to conversate anymore, Tails jumped on the sea of pillows and blankets, and curled up next to him.
“I love you, you know that right?”, Tails said trying to get close enough to touch Sonic. “I am going to figure out a way to fix what happened so that you never end up in this situation again in the future.”
The feeling of another person physically being this closer felt so foreign to Sonic now. It wasn’t a bad feeling but such a good one if not a bit overwhelming. Typically he’d use one of his puppets to simulate a group hug or put on several blankets to make it feel like someone was there. It was the only thing to help him sleep at night.
The blue hedgehog felt something wet run across his cheek. And then his vision blurred and a hiccup almost escape his throat. Sonic felt tears come out of his eyes. It felt so embarrassing. At least Tails had his eyes closed already and was waiting on Sonic’s response out of habit.
Using one hand and carefully wiping away the tears as to not alert Tails, Sonic decided to say something for his sake and himself.
“Yeah, love you too, little buddy.”, Sonic did his best not to seem choked up about it.
Tails smiled. ”Night, bro.”, he yawned happily. The fox snuggled closer to the blue hedgehog.
Maybe this was a last ditch effort of his brain to keep the last remaining bits of his self preservation or it could be real. Well, whatever the case was, Sonic cuddled closer to the warm body to hold on to this feeling.
“Night.”, the blue hedgehog said as he fell into a deep sleep. 
His puppets and weighed blankets were all he needed and had for the past few years. But this was good alternative too.

Mini Fanfic #1053: Extending the Family Tree (Sonic)
9:15 a.m. at Angel Island: Knuckles' Living Room......
Rouge: (Takes a Deep Breath Before Speaking) So, Doc, you mind telling us what brings you doing here in our establishment? In the middle of the morning?
Shadow: Besides giving us a headache?
Omega: And giving me approximately one thousand, three hundred, and sixty-two ways to exterminate you?
Knuckles: (Growls While Slowly Cracking his Knuckles) And the words "Master Emerald" better not come out of that mouth of yours either.......
Eggman: Oh will you relax? I'm not here for the Emerald. At least not yet anyways.....
Knuckles: What was that?
Eggman: Nothing! B-But anyways.....('Clears Throat') I'm came here today because there is someone I would like you all to meet, given we're now in the New Year or whatever.
????: Angel Island.....
Everyone in the room turn their heads to see Metal Sonic walking inside the room with a little girl holding his robotic hand.
????: Such beautiful, historic landscape for one to live and look after peacefully, don't you agree, Big Brother- (Suddenly Gasps and Points at the Black Hedgehog in her Viewpoint) It you!~
Shadow slowly points at himself in silence and a bit of confusion.
????: Yes, you. (Hovers her Way to Where Shadow Sits At) Are you really Shadow the Hedgehog? (Eyes Begins to Sparkle) The Ultimate Lifeform?~
Shadow: That....is what most people refer to me as, yes.
????: Amazing. (Hovers Around the Ultimate Lifeform as She Observes Him) Father has told me so much about you ever since the day I was firstcreated. But to have the opportunity and privilege to meet you in person is truly an honor to behold.
Shadow: (Starts Smiling a Little) Well, I believe it's an honor to finally meet you in person too, Sage-
Sage: (Suddenly Gasps Loudly Again Before Hovering Over to Omega) And you!~
Omega: (Slowly Points at Himself).....Meep.
Sage: (Starts Observing Around Omega) Such enhanced machinery and a menacing yet very well-made design. You are the most powerful E-Series robot my father has created thus far. (Smiles Brightly) Which makes us SIBLINGS!!~ (Happily Hugs Omega)
Omega: (Points at Sage Hugging Him) Who this small, floating child?
Eggman: (Smiles Brightly) Sage Robotnik, my pride and joy!

Eggman: (Turns Back Everyone Else Present in the Room) Anywho, ever since the day she has been reawaken as a full fledged being, Sage here has nern interested in leaving out the laboratory to explore and experience the actual outside world in her perspective-
Sage: Which I adored very much, by the way~
Eggman: Yep, loved it instantly. So much so that she wants to start making new friends and learning more about her family lineages for her New Year Resolutions. And I figured: "Hey! What better place to start than to come here and meet the Ultimate Lifeform who helped me find the exact codes and instructions I need to restore my daughter from a brief, digital comatosed state and the robot I considered as one of my proudest creati-
Omega: (Suddenly Slams his Hand on a Coffee Table in Front of Him) Do NOT try to deceive us with your false assumptions!!!
Rouge: (Immediately Gives Omega a Motherly Glare) Omega!
Knuckles: (Crosses his Arms at the Robot) What did we say about slamming your hands on the coffee table?
Omega: (Stares at the Glaring Couple For a Brief Second Before Sighing in Defeat) Never release your frustrations towards tables or any other suitable objects around the area. Especially if that said frustrations is aims towards Dr. Eggman.
Sage: (Frowns Worryingly) Omega, what did father do to make you this upset?
Omega: (Angrily Points at Eggman) He wasted my potential as the Ultimate E-Series Combatant by deactivating me and sealing me away inside an abandoned base for five and a half weeks!
Sage: (Gasps Once More Before Turning to Eggman With Genuine Shock) Father, is what Omega said is true?
Eggman: .....Well. I mean....I....(Slowly Shrugs While Put On an Awkward Smile on his Face) May or....may not have done something like that in my time....
The rest of the Team Dark Members (including Knuckles) shakes their heads at the doctor in silence, all while Metal Sonic some remarks under his mechanical sound system.
Eggman: (Angrily Points at Metal Sonic) Quiet, you! Or so.help me, I'll-
Sage: Father!
Eggman: (Gets Startled Before Slowly Turning Back to his Daughter) Y-Yes, dear?
Sage: (Slowly Crosses her Arms With a Disappointed Glare on her Face) I am appalled at you. How could you be so cruel into locking up one of your greatest intentions for weeks on end without giving him a proper chance to be put in use?
Omega: Yes, doctor. (Crosses his Arms as Well) Enlighten us.
Eggman: Look, I have a perfectly good reason for doing so! I had Shadow kept inside the generator tube in that very same base until further notice at the time. So, I figured.....since you were created to be the strongest out of all the E-Series Robots, that.....you'd be capable of guard duty and look after him, in case everything goes south, of course. (Smiles More Brightly and Awkwardly)
Omega: But have you ever assigned your previous E-Series iteration to do guard duty at one point in their short-lived existence?
Eggman; (Raises his Finger to Answer....Only to Realize He Couldn't Think of Anything) Uhhh.....Not really, b-but come now! There has to be some good out of being in that base for so long, right!?
Omega: .....Well, I suppose the day I've met Shadow and Rouge for the first time is the only life changing positive I can think of. These are first two companions I will forever cherish for the rest of my lifespan including the new faces I have met thus.
Rouge: (Heart Immediately Begins to Melt as She Gives her Robot Baby a Loving Hug) Oh honey!~
Shadow: (Smiles Softly) We love and cherish you too, Omega.
Omega: I didn't say the love part.
Rouge: Didn't have to. We know how much you adore us~ (Kiss Omega on the Cheek)
Omega: (Felt the Hint of Blush Formong on his Mechanical Cheeks) Mother, not in front of the guests......
Eggman: (Smiles Proudly) Well, would you at that? My case & point has been thoroughly proven today-
Omega: (Angrily Points at Eggman Again) Don't ruin the moment!
Eggman: (Immediately Shuts Up) Sorry.
Sage: Omega?
Omega: (Turns Back to Sage) Yes, small, floating child? State your business.
Sage: (Nervously Has Her Hands Behind her Back) U-Umm....I know there is no definitive way to excuse my father's flaw and idiotic life choices-
Eggman: Hey!
Sage: But please believe me when I say that alone will never stop me from admiring you.
Omega: You....admire my presence?
Sage: (Happily Nodded) Why, of course! I've been reading through your data not too long ago and couldn't help but to admire your sheer willpower and determination into destroying any that comes your path, no matter how difficult the objectives get. It's such a shame that my father never took the time to appericate it as I do.
Omega: You appericate my existence?
Sage: Wholeheartedly. And I will forever do so for as long as I shall live. (Properly Bows her Head to Omega) I only ask in return that you would accept my offer as being my big brother? Pretty please?
Omega: Well.....you seem to be kind, honest and less arrogant and thick-headed as your father-
Eggman: I can hear you, you know!?
Omega: (Stares at Sage For a Few Seconds Before Simply Nodding) Very well, if this is the request of what you wish for, then.....(Starts Looking Away While Scratching Behind his Head) I suppose having you as sibling wouldn't be too much of a hindranc-
Sagae: (Happily Cheers in Rejoice) Yay!~ (Pulls Omega into a Very Loving Hug) I promise you will not regret your decision in the slightest!~ (Gives Omega a Kiss on the Metal Cheek)
Rouge: (Immediately Gushes at the Whole Exchange) Oh my gossssssh!~ That's so sweet!~ Wait! (Quickly Picks her Phone Up From the Coffee Table and Holds it in Front if the Newly Sibling Duo) Sage honey, would you be a dear and kiss your big brother on the cheek again for me?
Sage: (Happily Nodded) Yes, mommy!~ (Kiss Omega Again on the Cheek)....A-Am I allowed to call you that?
Rouge: (Already in Tears) Yes, sweetie. ('Sniff') You can me that whenever you want~
Knuckles: (Rolls his Eyes Softly) Oh great, now you got the water works staring.
Rouge: Hush, Knuckies! Don't be rude in front of your daughter!!
Knuckles: My WHAT!?
Rouge: You heard me: Daughter! Which we will look after on occasions.
Knuckles: You can't be serious....
Rouge: DEADLY!!
Shadow: (Chuckles Lightly Before Turning his Attention Back to Sage) You know, if you like, I can introduce to my new extended family back in the mansion.
Sage: (Happily Nodded) Of course. I hope I can get along with them.
Shadow: Oh I wouldn't have a problem with that. Most of them are pretty friendly all things considered, mother and father especially.
Sage: (Smiles Brightly) Then I shall accept your offer to go!~ If it's okay with father of course.
Eggman: (Shrugs) I see no problem with that. (Turns to Metal Sonic) Right, Metal?
Metal Sonic: (Nodded in Agreement)
Sage: Wonderful!~ I cannot wait for the rest of our day to begins!~
Knuckles: We can start by having your dad getting your robot brotheren away from my Emerald.
Curbot: (Outside in the Distance) Ah nuts, he's on to us!
Orbot: Perhaps it's time we run and hide?
Curbot: How can we run if we don't have legs?
Orbot: Let's just go already!
Eggman: (Turns to Knuckles) You heard this whole time, haven't you?
Knuckles: Yeah, you're not slick. Now get the hell out.

I'm going to talk about 9/11 a bit, but I'm going to put it under the cut because it may be long, and I'm not sure anyone would want to read it. I just need to vent a little because the day always makes me a little sad. I'm going to recall some memories from that day, too, so be warned before you read. I'm a tumblr old, so I remember it well, and many of these memories involve some traumatic shit.
To me 9/11 is always a solemn day not just because of what happened that day, but also what it did to us as a country and the world. I don't want people to remember 9/11 like so many of us did, as a justification for war. Tbh I don't know what I want from writing this. I think I just need to express some things that have been rolling around in my head today.
I was fortunate to not lose anyone that day. One of my older brothers did spend about half his time in the WTC though, and there was a period of time that day where we didn't know if he was there. This was pre cell phones for most people and we couldn't get through to his work phone. When the towers fell I still didn't know, and that fear is something I will always think of on 9/11. I used all my lunch money on a pay phone trying to call family members. About an hour after that my dad did hear from him and we were all relieved. He went on to have 3 kids and I sometimes think about how many people weren't born due to 9/11 and the wars afterward.
The community I grew up in wasn't close to NY or DC, but we did have some connections to it. The girl that sat next to me in typing class had a father who worked at the Pentagon, and she told me her dad was helping to look for bodies there. About 10% of my class joined the military later, and 2 died in Afghanistan. When I was a senior years after 9/11, my boyfriend was a year older than me and in the National Guard. He was sent to Iraq and wounded there. My mom's work was tied to the military, and she spent most of the next few months working long, stressful hours. It led to her having a mini stroke, and she retired early about 8 years after 9/11.
That day and for days after all the channels showed endless 9/11 footage. There were close-ups of people in or above the impact zones in the towers, which is something they showed live. I have the image of people waving for help from the windows permanently stuck in my head. The news also showed people falling, they would try to cut away most of the time but sometimes the camera would linger and you could see more detail than you wanted too. That evening they also kept showing pictures of falling people, until finally they decided that was fucked up and stopped. Those images are stuck in my head too.
Many people were glued to the TV and we we were just completely immersed in these images over and over again. While it was happening there was the terror of not knowing what would happen to all those people. Could the people waving for help be rescued? Were there any more hijacked planes full of people waiting for their deaths? When the towers fell, how many people were in them still? The news kept saying there could be as many as 10k people dead from the towers alone. Were we going to war? We had to be. Somehow, we had to get revenge for all these people who died in terror. I remember waking up the next morning to find my mom crying in front of the TV, I think it was just all too much.
We really didn't know what would happen next. Later that afternoon, Air Force 1 flew over our house, and the jets around it caused a sonic boom. I had never heard one before. The local news cut in and said there was an explosion not too far from where my mom was (this was later corrected to a random fire + the sonic boom). This is going to sound silly, but I had an anxiety attack that my mom was in danger, which was exasperated when she didn't answer her work phone. I remember when she got home that day, I was sitting at the kitchen table and saw her pull up. I ran outside crying and hugged her.
As time passed, we learned more about the dead. There were children on the planes. I remember before the 2nd plane hit the towers, my mind thought the first plane had to be a smaller one, like a little Cessna or something. It didn't make sense, but my mind couldn't accept that someone would fly a plane full of people into a building. Then the 2nd plane hit and reality set in.
The news showed people covered in dust and sometimes blood fleeing the towers. It showed hospitals with staff waiting outside with gurney beds waiting for victims that would never come. Posters of all the missing all over NYC. People went on the news looking for their loved ones and there was so much pain on their faces and in their voices.
All this grief, all this anger we felt, was then used to inflict more tragedies on others. Nearly a million dead in the War on Terror (how the fuck do you go to war on a concept?). I'm ashamed to admit that I bought into the propaganda, I think most people did until the Iraq war, myself included. For years afterward, 9/11 would fill me with so much anger. Now I look back on that, and I'm angry for different reasons. I'm angry we decided to go along with everything the government wanted to do in response, like a war without a timetable or plan to end, the Patriot Act, and the Iraq War started entirely on lies.
I think about how different things were before 9/11. When my mom would go away on business, we could go right up to her gate to greet her when we got home. In a broader way, there was just this naive view of America. We had "won" the Cold War, and we had the greatest military and the greatest economy in the world. I think we really thought we were untouchable, that war and other fucked up things would always be distant and never really reach us. I understand there was another naivete within myself, too. I was a middle-class white person, and I understand now that how I viewed the world was entirely based on my own circumstances. But also, overall, so many of us just didn't expect something like this to happen. 9/11 really changed our idea of what the world was and what our government should be.
Idk what the point of this post is, maybe just venting. Sometimes, I just want to explain why we reacted the way we did. Sometimes, I just want to relieve the shame I feel at our response. How could I be so naive that it took until the lack of WMDs found in Iraq for me to start questioning things? How much pain did we unleash on the world because we didn't view the world as it was? To me, 9/11 will always be a tragedy for all the innocents killed that day and in response to that day.

💖- A memory that made them feel special for tangle
She felt the mask slip from her face, that feeling of despair it wasn't something she'd felt. Not since the War was over, and even then nothing like this. They were like Family weren't they? They were so close and to have someone you trust betray you like that. It hit a cord in her because to Tangle it was the greatest form of treachery. Getting double crossed was one thing if it was someone you didn't know or barely worked with. It was another when it was a brother, a sister, or a friend. She wiped the tears from her eyes letting them drift to the floor and sucked in air.
Tumblr media
" Ok...ok i get it, i think i understand now... least i got a better idea of how things went down. But why leave me behind? If ya ain't takin' me then call Sonic, Or Amy... ANYONE you can't go in there alone Whisp... "
Tumblr media
She simply shook her head, how did she explain it? she grabbed her note pad and scribbled the friend on it. Pointing to Tangle and lowering her head. She couldn't lose another friend, she just couldn't she could not bare that not again.
Tumblr media
" Well to Damn bad! yer my friend to ya know! an i ain't gonna lose you either! We look out for each other, its what friends do! good and bad, thick or thin... we are ALWAYS stronger together! so let's do this whisp! i know his dumb tricks now! i won't get tricked again! i promise! but i cant let you do this alone! "
Tumblr media
Whisper shook her head and pointed to the destroyed building, and the safe. He nearly destroyed them tonight! they barely survived! it took everything they had and alot of luck to survive that! and she what? wanted to rush back in? she was crazy! not that Whisper felt she could convince her otherwise---Gaia she was stubborn!
Tumblr media
" Yea! but! that just means we owe him an extra butt kickin'! like a double whammy! no way he's gonna get us next time! we'll be ready for him! and he totally thinks he knows what we'll do! but we know that he knows! so we can plan around the fact that he knows! so is no way he can know what we know! He won't stand a chance! "
Tumblr media
She was ... an idiot, an adorable idiot, but an idiot! Chaos she was stubborn---she wasn't going to back down was she? She slowly sighed and rubbed a finger under her eyes. Gaia she reminded her so much of Slinger. Same care free attitude, same excitement, she could use the help. Truth was she probably needed it now more then ever. She was so dumb... why did she put herself at risk this way? why? just just...why?
Tumblr media
One moment Whisp was looking angry and the next she was hugging her. It was a moment that lived free in her head, but probably the moment she earned something from Whisper. If there was ever something she considered special---this was it.
Tumblr media
" Defiantly the moment Whisp gave me a hug for the first time! even if we nearly died... even if i had to face my claustrophobia moments before... totally wouldn't change it for the world! "
