TOM BROUGHT YOU IN A MOTEL, he forced you to stay in the car ( again ) as he paid for the night, then he came back out to grab the two of you and quietly push you inside the room.

there was an old man at the counter who didn't even looked at you once and you tried your best to shut your mouth and not tell your human companion of that little detail.

when you got to the room you were quick to realize that there were only two beds, you looked at donut lord and sighed, was he really that poor?

you called dibs for the first shower and you left the two men — not like they could be called that — alone, in front of the beds as you waited for the water to cool down.

you loved the hot showers but you had been hiding your injuries under your clothes for a while now and your body was begging to be freshened up.

you started to undress, not knowing about the conversation happening outside the room.

"two beds? really?!" whispered shouted sonic as he pointed towards the items.

donut lord rolled his eyes as he set down on the side of his bed, he started to take of his shoes and jacket as he looked at the blue alien.

"she's gonna kill me in my sleep" added the emerald eyed mobian as he let his hands slid down his face.

the man chuckled making the other quickly turned around with an offended look "do you found happiness in my pain?" he accused with a finger.

"no" answered back the human as he pushed out an open palm "i found happiness in your dumbness"

that made sonic scowl, an hand going to his chest as he faked hurt for that comment, when actually curiosity was increasing in his mind.

tom caught on that and he snickered once again as he moved to the little fridge to grab the ice.

"she didn't even care buddy" he explained, the blue boy watched his every move as he thought about his words.

he was right, you didn't care that you had to sleep in the same bad as him, but was it because you actually didn't care or because you wanted to?

rethinking about your different conversations in the past days he realized that maybe it was just because you had gone trough worse things than sleeping in the same bed with someone you once knew like the back of your hand.

tom was right, he was going crazy over something so stupid.

but why was his brain doing those things? he wasn't exactly rational but being this anxious wasn't in his dna, was he still...

"i know that look" sonic blinked a couple of times as he focused on the man's face "you like her" singsonged the human as he mocked him.

the blue devil was quick to appear next to him, shushing him as he kept his emerald eyes over the bathroom door, waiting for some sort of sign that meant that you had heard.

he let out the hair from his chest as he let go of donut lord's mouth, he tried to make his scariest look as he scolded the man just like he had already done with him.

"shush it" his fingers dug into tom's chest, while a knowing, soft, smirk appeared on the other's face.

the mobian sighed, defeated, he set himself down on the bed, near him.

"let's just say that i-" he stopped abruptly, looking into the little pair of eyes "hypothetically" he forced out every syllables with scrunched eyebrows and tom nodded — unconvinced — along his words.

he kept going "do like her" he took a small breath "what should i do? and, why do you know? is it that noticeable? do you think she knows? do you think she likes m-"

this time it was donut lord's turn to shut his mouth "stop right there" he said.

"first of all she absolutely doesn't know, she's even clueless the you" he added with a whisper, almost afraid that you could hear him, "second, i know because i was once you, hopelessly going for a woman far too amazing for my standard"

that made sonic look down, he wanted to say something against the passive insult that just got sent in his directions but he knew that he was right, you were amazing.

"third, you just have to be yourself, and you should tell her what you fell" immediately the alien started to shook his head, completely against the idea "especially if you have to leave this world" finished the man.

a moment of silence and a knowing look was shared between the two before the human decided to broke the awkwardness "anyway, what's this next planet you're supposed to go to like?" he leaned down on the bed as he asked.

"it's no earth, i can tell you that. there's no people, just breathable air and giant mushrooms and stuff." his hatred for mushrooms was really showing there.

tom shrugged back "well, look at it this way; at least you won't be the only 'fun-guy.'" he laughed to himself.

the blue hedgehog moved back to his own bed "no. don't ever do that again."

tom chuckled "i liked it." his gaze landed on the dirty ceiling over him.

sonic looked around the room as he listened to you humming songs inside the bathroom "i'm really gonna miss this place." he stated sadly "i know i have to leave earth to be safe, but what if longclaw was wrong? maybe i could have a life here."

a beat passed were they shared a soft look before the door of the bathroom opened, you came out, the steam and the smell of lavender following you.

you stopped in you tracks to look at the two, who were strangely silent, a sad look on their faces.

"didn't know you would've missed me this much" you teased as you resumed your walking towards the bed, you circled it, sitting on the other side before you patted sonic's shoulder "you turn buddy"

you leaned back down, moving under the cover as he huffed in annoyance, he wanted to explore earth not shower.

this was his last night in this planet!

your glare hardened "i won't sleep next to a smelly hedgehog" you told him before you turned around, giving him his back.

he nodded in agreement "yeah, i wouldn't either" he chuckled as he jumped down, turning around before entering the bathroom to look back at you.

his human friend shoot him a teasing smirk making him close his alien self inside the little room and leaving you out.

was there a way to also leave you out his mind?

tom looked at your back too for a moment, he tried to understand you, even thought he knew it was really difficult.

before he could go deep into his thoughts the news reporter caught his attention "thomas wachowski, accused of committing an act of domestic terrorism. wachowski is considered armed and dangerous. any information regarding his whereabouts should be reported to local authorities immediately." the tv was suddenly shut off, making him quickly look around the room.

you had the remote in your hands, and you were offended, almost as if they had said those things about you.

you looked at the man, throwing the remote at his chest — which he caught with a little difficulty — and for a moment he watched you in silence.

"don't worry i won't let anybody stand in our way" your comment made the cornera of his mouth shoot upwards.

you were worried about him, you cared about him, and this was your way of showing him it.

it didn't mattered to him that you had some kind of dark aura all around you or the threat behind your words.

you were going to protect him and he was going to do the same with you two.
