Sonic was sitting on the couch. Well, his brand new one. His old one got wrecked from the war. To say he was bored was an understatement, he was dull and spiritless. He needed a refresher. He heard clattering from the workshop, before hearing subtle pawing up the stairs. "Whatcha doin, bud?"
"Oh, just goin' outside." He replied. Sonic turned to see Tails holding onto the doorway, sliding his velcro shoes on. The blue blur winced slightly at the bandages and the still healing scars on the fox kit. He still couldn't believe how he had done that to himself.
(quick mid authors note: this takes place after forces. so, in my hc, tails did some questionable things to himself over that time djkdkdkmc)
"Mind if I tag along?" The hedgehog asked, still eyeing his charge. "'Course." Tails mumbled opening the door. Sonic quickly slid on his shoes, before heading outside with Tails.
They found a nice spot on the grass before sitting down. Tails opened his mouth to say something, but snapped it shut again.
There's no need to ruin Sonic's mood over yours. You're being so selfish right now.
Sonic watched him with pure confusion. "Did 'ya wanna say something, l'il bro?"
"Oh, no. I just... felt like yawning. Guess I didn't need to." That was a lie. Sonic hummed.
Tails placed his head on his knees, watching flicky's fly from one tree to another.
"Keed, if there's anything you wanna talk about, I'm right here. Don't you forget that." Sonic eyed him with utmost care and consideration. "I know." Tails responded. He knew. So why didn't he tell him?
He wanted a hug. He really did. It still felt off. He still had memories. Memories that connected oh-so close to the ones from Westside...
All of those memories were memories he wanted to forget.
The running. The hiding. The starving. All of it. All of it happened again.
With hesitation he opened his mouth once more, "Sonic?"
"Yeah, buddy?" Sonic looked at him once more. "I.. can I talk to you about something?" Tails asked. "'Course, l'il bro. What's up?" Sonic fully turned his body to look at his charge. All attention on him.
Hesitation plagued Tails' mind again. This is so stupid, you're being such a brat.
No. He hushed his thoughts. He was doing what was right.
"About the uh.. the war." Was he really about to do this? Sonic nodded his head.
"Did I.. did I really 'lose it'? Like Silver said?" His eyes began to sting.
Sonic's mouth dropped. "Buddy, no! Silver just... didn't know how to explain it! That's all!" Sonic quickly said. Tails looked down for a moment. "So.. if I didn't lose it, what did I do, then?" Tails asked.
"You.. you helped us-"
"No, I ran away. I gave them more work." Tails quickly interrupted.
"You.. uhm.. you built stuff, and you helped make plans!"
"That was for only 1 month." Tails said blandly.
"Tails, you were severely starved, hurt, mentally and physically, what was there for you to do?"
"I- I- It-" He stumbled on what words to say. Until his brows furrowed and tears lined his eyes.
"If I hadn't run away, none of this would have happened! I wouldn't have starved, gotten hurt, all of it is MY FAULT!"
Sonic was taken aback by Tails' yell.
Said fox was holding onto the grass in rage. "I screwed up, Sonic. I didn't save you. I should've saved you." Tails' voice was nothing but a mere whisper by the end of that sentence. His breath hitched, before he broke into a full sob.
Sonic immediately forced Tails into a hug. He put his hand in between the fox kit's ears, and shushed him.
"Tails, none of this is your fault. If anything, it's mine. I should've been faster. I should've backed out of that fight. I should've known I was out matched. My ego got in the way of what was important."
Tails' sobs had quieted to sniffles by the end of that sentence. "A-An', wha' was that?" He said in between breaths. "You, and all of our friends. I hadn't thought of what would've happened to you all. And.. I'm really sorry." Sonic's voice quieted. Tails looked up at his idol. His hero. The one and only, Sonic The Hedgehog, hero of Mobius, and what he saw made him almost gasp.
Sonic the Hedgehog... was crying. Not sobbing, but crying.
"Sonic.. are you..?" The hedgehog jerked. "W-Wha? N-No." He lied. "Sonic, it's nothing to be ashamed of." Tails retorted. He pulled Sonic into a hug. "Why don't we just say.. none of this was our faults. And it was all Robuttnik."
Sonic chuckled at the old nickname. "Y-Yeah." He quickly wiped his tears, laughing. "Say, this has got me down in the dumps, little bro. How about we lighten the mood, eh?" Tails looked up at Sonic, confused.
That was until said hedgehog began to tickle the fox kit.
Tails burst into laughter. Curse his stupid ticklishness. "S-Stooop!!" He said between giggles.
"Never!" The cobalt hedgehog countered, pinning his charge to the ground. "N-NOO!" Sonic grinned mischievously before pouncing back and tickling the behind of Tails' right ear. His tickle spot. Tails' laughs made the hedgehog smile. Glad to hear it.
"UNCLE, UNCLEE!!" Tails laughed out, before Sonic retaliated. "Alright, l'il bro. How 'bout we jam and juice." Tails laughed once more. "Alright... RACE YA!"
That kid.
