Christmas party (Sonic x Mario)

Christmas Party

(The strongest thing that happens is a kiss on the cheek lol)

Sonic didn't consider himself has the "annoying type". In all honesty, he thought all of his companions considered him a good friend.
It was when the world was at it's most peaceful when he started noticing the problems.

Apart from when the world was at stake, everyone avoided hanging put with him. Even Amy, who at first, was really kind and had an obvious crush on him, she grew older and, eventually, she found herself less atracted to him and more keen to hangout with everyone else.

Even if Sonic was greatful that Amy stopped her obsession over him, he still misses saving the world with everyone and hanging out for dinner after. He was now questioning if his companions considered him really a friend.

Sonic snapped out of his thoughts as the bell from his house rang, he exitedly opened the door to find Amy with a small smile handing out a small invitation to him. He looked at her confused.

"Since it's so close to christmas eve, I think it would be lovely for all of us to hang out at my place tomorrow, a nice christmas party." She said with a cheery tone "Tho I have to warn you, no alcohol allowed, our younger friends will also attend so..." Amy looked at Sonic with a half smile, waiting for an answer.

"Oh...cool" He said, being a bit disapointed at the lack of alcoholic drinks. He didn't want to miss an opportunity to hang out with his friends again tho, after so long "I'll be there then, it sure will be fun" He smiled and waved Amy goodbye as she walked away.

                ~~~~  NEXT DAY ~~~~

Sonic was exited to be with everyone again, putting on a fitting green scarf on top of a dark jacket and some red warm pants to fit for the holidays. Sure, it seemed weird for him to be wearing clothes at all, but it was specially chilly today, so he was more than prepared.

Sonic tried to arrive a little later from the start of the party since he didn't want it to be an awkard silence between him and Amy until someone else arrived. He wasn't good at starting conversations.

As he dashed thoards Amy's place, he could already smell the delicious food and warm drinks. When he knocked and entered her place, it was a small, humble decoration that greeted him.

A short tree adornated in different lights and a lot of snow decorations on the walls, next to the door there was a table full with treats like cookies and christmas bread, everything made with lots of effort it seems.

Apparently tho, Sonic came in last. He didn't expect everyone else to arrive so early, Shadow was sitting with Amy while drinking hot chocolate. Tails was playing some videogames with Cream, teaching her the mechanics. Blaze was talking with Espio on the corner and Silver was eating some cookies in front of the table.

Tho Sonic greeted everyone and they seemed happy to see him. He couldn't really hold a conversation with anyone, his close friends seemed too busy talking with someone else. He tried to talk to Rouge, who was sitting on the couch, but only a few dry questions in and Sonic was left with nothing to chat about.

Nobody seemed to care about him, even if they assured him that they liked him, and called him a friend. Sonic was now sitting on the couch awkardly next to Rouge, he felt left out...

Sonic hugged himself as his thoughts came in.

("I should probably leave..." "clearly nobody wants me here" "whatever they say, they obviously don't care" "I have no place in this stupid party" )

"Sonic?" Amy's voice interrupted him "Are you ok?, you seem upset...do you wanna talk?" She says, concern in her voice.

Sonic sighs (I don't wanna take her out of her good mood because of me, she shouldn't be involved) "no, I'm fine Amy, thanks for worrying tho..." he said to then get up and look at the door.
