Stone was getting increasingly worried for Robotnik throughout his first day back. Ivo treated him as if he was an idiot, but like, really like an idiot. Like nothing they had mattered.
He tried not to believe the doctor could be angry at him. Why would he be? There was no reason. It could just be from a failed experiment. That had to be it. There was no way that Robotnik would have a valid reason to hate him.
He came back into the lab holding two lattes. The atmosphere felt different than normal, but Stone wasn't going to ask about it. He had seen Robotnik at his desk, headphones on, but he had his head in his hands.
Stone went over, tapping his shoulder. It spooked the doctor, who seemed rather peeved.
"What now, Stone?"
"I have a latte ready for you, sir." But whe Stone tried to hand him his latte, Robotnik turned away and went back to work. It felt personal. Maybe he had done something wrong.
Stone tapped his shoulder again. This angered the doctor more.
"Stone, do not make me-" he cut himself off after he saw the lattes again. He grabbed one, then waved Stone away as if he was nothing but his servant. Stone groaned quietly and walked away. He was trying to figure it out, but he had no idea what he had done wrong.
Then it hit him. The doctor must have had an episode.
Stone's heart shattered in a million pieces. His thoughts ran across his head faster than a hungry cheeta trying to catch its prey. He barely had time to process them all, but he was worried about how badly this one was.
It had to have been one of the worse ones since Robotnik is so angry, but yet again, he coukd just have veen upset that Stone wasn't there for a quick cuddle destress.
He knew he had to make it up to him. He jad the perfect idea.
