"𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘" his voice was low but you could still hear how it broke a little.

"he tells me with his body covered in scraps" you replayed; tails was sitting on the table in front of you, you on the chair with a cotton ball in your hand as you tried to clean his injured knees.

he was right, he wasn't hurt bad, just some little cuts on his hands and knees.

but the reason behind why he was injured was the one thing making your blood boil.

your eyes moved from the cuts to his face as he hissed in pain, but you didn't stop looking at him even after he told you that it was okay.

and then he knew.

he looked around almost nervously "[name], i swear i'm okay" one of his hands moving to slide up and down his other arm in a comfortable way.

you sighed, knowing that it wasn't gonna change his mind.

you gave the cut one last swipe with the wet cotton ball before getting up from your seat.

you took his chin in your hand your thump caressing his cheek, you smiled softly at him and he copied the action eyes full of something a little too similar too admiration for your liking.

you turned around, putting the tools back to their places.

"can you just promise me that you'll come to me if they annoy you again?" he didn't replayed, opting to look at the ground instead as he swinged his legs back and forth.

you rolled your eyes a smile still appearing on your face "at least after they annoy you?" you chuckled, even if it was an happy sound the fox knew that there was some sadness behind it.

he moved his eyes on you with the same look of before but this time you were less afraid of it, you accepted it a little more.

he nodded slowly and you walked towards him, leaning with your back against the table, your hands on the end to keep yourself up.

silence filled the room as you both looked out of the open door of the 'garage' , the beautiful view in front of you, the light from the sun slightly coming into the room, hitting the pavement.

"it's not like you can do much anyway" he murmured, you turned your head towards him but he pretended to not notice as he felt like it would've been too much.

"i can scare them off, i'm pretty scary when i want to" you reminded him, your tone still a little joking as you wanted the conversation to go on smoothly.

he chuckled and you let out some air, a weight leaving your heart.

"you have to keep a low profile" he commented, the way he told you that was making it feels more like a command then a reminder and you felt your body stiffen a little at that.

"true, but you know that if it's for you i'll do anything" your tone was sincere, not a hint of a joke in it, he knew you weren't lying and that sincerely scared him.

because he couldn't loose you too.

"i swear you don't need too" he sighed exasperated, again.

like if you were begging him to do something that he shouldn't do, when it was actually the opposite.

"they're right anyways" he added, he hoped he had been low enough just for him to hear but it arrived to your ear loud and clear.

"tails..." you started, an hand on his back.

"don't say it like that" he stopped you, your touch leaving his body.

you tilted your head, confused about what he was saying "like what?" you asked.

"like if it's some amazing thing" he responded his hands flaying around as he let it out.

you remained silent as you took in the way is tone had change.

"'m sorry" he added ashamed, you hugged him, putting your chin on his head as you patted his back.

"it's alright" you let him took a deep breath "i know it's hard for you" you added.

you let your words sank in and after some seconds you let him go.

"my offer is always up" you said, this time he was the one looking confused "i can scare them off, just tell me when and where" he laughed in your face and you pretended to be offended.

"what? you don't think i can?" you questioned him he moved his head from left to right trying to surprise his smile "oh i get how it is" he tried to keep his smile at bait, keeping his eyes on you.

you moved towards him and he jumped down the table, running away.

you waited some seconds to give him some advantage before you followed right after him.

"i'm coming for you" you shouted at him.

you heard his laugh ring in the air and he turned his head to look at you behind his shoulder.

you kept on looking at him as you ran through the grass smiles breaking your faces.

and then your shoe hit a rock.

and you felt your body fall towards the ground.

but it didn't stopped at the grass.

you passed right through it, keeping on falling and falling and falling.

until you hit a different type of ground

you find your self into nothing.

only the darkness around you.

and a light coming from the nothingness above you.

you looked around, skeptical.

"wake up." a voice told you and suddenly everything started to become too much.

you started to hyperventilate as it felt like the dark was crushing you.

"free the truth" it kept on repeating the strange voice.

"three-hundred-seventy-eight" it said as you fell down on your knees.

"WAKE UP!"

you opened your eyes.

a hand was on your shoulder gently moving you from side to side,

you looked around you, where were you?

then you remembered.

sonic, donut lord- tom.

you turned and you found yourself face to face with sonic.

"you okay?" he asked you, your brain was distracted by the proximity of your bodies and your eyes looked down to his black nose.

you slowly nodded as you looked into his green eyes again.

"just a bad dream, you know how it is" you confessed, pretending like you weren't analysing every single details of what you had just saw.

"yeah..." he replied, you looked behind his shoulder to donut lord, he was looking in front of him pretending to not hear the conversation even if it was centimetres from him.

you appreciated it.

the man take notes of the silence and he choose that moment to talk "i need to talk with a friend, give him some indications."

"shouldn't it be the opposite? i mean, we're the fugitives here" you replied and you watched as the man snorted, sonic smiling at the interaction appending before him.

"how do you always have an answer?" he asked with a smirk.

you chuckled before answering.

"i'm a natural"
