Blank was sitting on Anti's bed, legs curled up as he was sketching away on his tablet he and Anti had picked up from the USA before working on the Nerf gun he had mentioned before.

Talking about Anti... He was sitting with legs crossed on the wooden floor, painting the nerf gun a pastel blue (which was Blank's idea).

"So.... How's it going between you and Dark? You've been together for three months now." Blank asked, breaking the silence that had been there.

Anti paused painting to shrug his shoulders. "Don't know."

Blank frowned, looking up from the tablet to see the right side of Anti's head. "What do you mean by that?"

"That I don't know how it's going." Anti answered. "Dark's continuously busy with formal business shit, and he doesn't pay much attention to me. Constantly calling hangouts off because of meetings and being too busy with paperwork and what not..." He sighed before continuing. "I'm slowly thinking that starting something with him was a bad thing..."

"Well, it's not really a bad thing." Blank reasoned. "You're just trying to get something more out of him, but he doesn't seem to give it to you."

"I'm pretty sure my perspective on romantic relationships is just too much." Anti replied, glancing at his friend for a small moment. "I'm expecting things like days for ourselves, snuggles and soft kisses and shit. Things that you always see in movies and social media, or something like that. Maybe that's just too much for Dark."

Blank put the tablet next to him on the bed to hunch over, setting his feet on the ground and leaning with his arms on his lap. "Those are things couples usually do. It's called affection."

"I know what affection means." Anti said with a scoff.

"Then you also know that affection is a necessity in relationships. And if Dark doesn't bother giving it to you, then maybe he's not the right one for you." Blank explained.
He felt a bit bad about it, though. In his mind, it sounded like he was saying: 'I feel like I could be way better than him. Just give me a chance'. He knew he didn't mean it like that, though.

"I guess you have a point." Anti said with a short sigh.

"I'm not saying that you should break up with him, just so you know." Blank added. "But maybe confront him about the affection you're missing. You two can probably come up with something that'll be good for the both of you."

Anti looked to his right, his heterochromia eyes meeting Blank's pitch black ones. And the softer one of the two could swear he could see the blue and green eyes say 'thank you' to him.

The glitch blinked and looked away again, standing up with a groan.
"Well, whatcha got doodled out for stickers on the gun?" He asked as he grabbed Blank's tablet, his eyes scanning the screen. Though, he let out a short laughter when he saw two small drawings beside all kinds of swirly doodles. "Seriously? Shadow the Hedgehog and Miles Tails Prower?"

"I uh..... I recently started to rewatch Sonic X..." Blank mumbled with an awkward giggle, looking down to his hands.

Anti smiled as he put the tablet back down on his bed, going back to the Nerf gun. "You should color them in. Then we can print them out and turn them into stickers."

"Wait, really? Why?" Blank asked, looking at his friend once again.

"Why not?" Anti questioned back. "The drawings look nice, and they're obviously the best Sonic characters."

"Watch out, Chase might hear you and argue against you." Blank said with a smile on his face, picking up the tablet to do what he was told.

"Fuck him with his Silver and Princess Sally. That bitch doesn't have any good taste." Anti replied before going back to painting, again.

A short silence fell.

But Anti didn't like it.
"We should go to that second Sonic movie together, you know?"

"Huh?" Blank looked back up from the tablet.

"Me and you, as 'besties' to Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I heard it's a really good movie, and that especially Knuckles looks really cool." Anti said, glancing at Blank for a real short moment. "Or would that be too much for you? I know you're not a fan of busy crowds."

"Um- No! I'd love to go see Sonic with you." Blank answered, blushing just a tiny bit, sinking a bit behind his tablet to hide it. "I can try and ignore the crowds the best I can."

"Only do things you're comfortable with." Anti said. "I wouldn't want you to have a panic attack in the cinemas."

"It'll be fine, I think. The movie should be able to distract me from all the other people that might be in the audience." Blank responded with. "I mean... I went to one of Ethan's shows from his tour, and I was so distracted by him, I forgot there was a whole crowd underneath the VIP balcony I sat on. Until they went insane from time to time, of course. But you get what I'm pointing at."

"Great! Are you free next weekend?" Anti asked, looking at his friend again, with a smile.

"I should be." Blank answered, now looking beside his tablet, widening his eyes just a bit before quickly adjusting them back to normal when he saw Anti already looking at him. "I-I- yeah... Next weekend I'm free."

"Good. I would check for days and tickets right now, but I kinda wanna finish this gun first. I'll probably do it when you're back home. Then I'll text you all the information."

"Okay. Thank you."
