YOU WERE CROUCHING DOWN UNDER THE WINDOW, walking on tiptoes as you tried to not make a sound.

you slowly looked inside the glass, you saw people walking by and you ducked back down, waiting for tom to ring the bell.

thankfully for the both of you you had woken up while he had been driving, a gasps had left your mouth as you had set up.

he had told you where he had decided to brought the two of you and, even if you hadn't been in your best conditions, you had quickly come to the conclusion that you would have had needed a plan.

there was no way he could hide the both of you.

that was the reason why you had found yourself trying to sneak into the kitchen.

you heard shoutings and calls from the other side of the house and you took that it was your clue, slowly and silently you opened the window from outside.

you used your arms to push you up and jump inside, you landed on the counter as softly as you could to not make any sounds.

you could hear the chaos from the other side and worry started to set in, what if they didn't want to help sonic?

you shook your head to try and push those thoughts out of your mind, you decided to distract yourself with looking around for something to help with your head.

you immediately turned towards the freezer, you grabbed the ice and you put it inside a couple of tissues before you laid it against the pained spot.

you closed the fridge with a bump of your hips and you leaned against the counter as you sighed in satisfaction, everything was already more bearable.

suddenly your ears captured the noises in the other room stopping and you opened your eyes again, a suspicious look on your face as you jumped over the table at the center of the room.

steps came closer and you got into an attacking stance, ready to defend yourself.

you and a dark skinned woman made an eye contact for a moment and it made her stop in her tracks, donut lord right behind her.

she shoot him a warning look that made him almost step back and you smirked happily at the interaction.

you liked her already.

tom give her a sorry look in response and he walked inside the kitchen to lay your blue friend on the table near you, a little girl following behind.

you brushed his quills as you looked at his unmoving body, your eyes bright and lucid as you worried for his safety.

the girl took a seat in front of you and you could feel her eyes burn deep into your sides "i'm jojo" she told you.

she smiled brightly at you and you couldn't help but copy her action, you told her your name, your hands still patting his head.

"he's gonna be okay jojo" reassured her donut lord just like he had done with you, the same sweet tone.

the woman that you had kind of scared away before came back into the room, a first aid kit in her arms.

"oh thank god. he's gonna be okay, right?" the fact that the the human was starting to crumble down with you wasn't bringing you any form of comfort.

but you couldn't hold it to him to be strong.

you had been trained all your life to not fall for this things, for feelings; you had been trained to be stronger and untouchable, and yet there you were.

you had been trained for all those years and you were now in little pieces, he was just a human and he had held himself for longer than you.

yeah, you were a failure.

"i'm a vet, tom. i don't even know what I'm looking at here." replied the woman as she settled her things down.

she ignored you, probably a little intimidated by the fact that two aliens were on her kitchen table, as she tried to focus on saving your friend.

"he'a a hedgehog" you spoke as you crossed your arms on your chest.

her head shoot up in your direction "you talk?" so she was actually ignoring you because she didn't think you could even speak, good.

"almost constantly." replied donut lord, earning a angry glare coming from you.

"okay." she cleared her throat before she moved to feel his pulse "holy..."

her tone immediately made you straighten up, you and tom both asking the same question "what?"

"his pulse is super fast." she answered and a soft breath left your lips, your shoulder relaxing.

"not a medic but i'm pretty sure it's normal for him" you commented making her look right into your eyes.

"yeah, i don't know." added the man as he thought about the situation "you gotta help him, maddie." he finished.

"please" you begged, her eyes softening at your tone.

"i don't know his physiology. he doesn't seem to have any broken bones." she started to feel his body, searching for anything out of place "he's just really banged up." she explained.

she reached the end of his legs and she noticed his ruined shoes, holes under the sole.

you hand never seen how really ruined they were, but you couldn't lie about the fact that you had already thought about it a couple of times.

"oh, look at his poor little feet." she pointed out after she had took his shoes off.

a moment of silence passed and you focused on his closed eyes, the slow rising of his chest, your fingers combed trough his quills.

"you're gonna be fine" you whispered, almost begged, as you kept your gaze locked on him "you're gonna wake up"

a bulb lightened and tom's eyes widened "smelling salts! don't you have, like, vet smelling salts, like, for cats or parakeets or something?"

"no. they don't make cat smelling salts." you could see that maddie was starting to feel the craziness of the situation.

but the fact that she still hadn't screamed is a good thing — you thought.

"they should." replied donut lord.

"i have human smelling salts in my human first aid kit." she opened up the kit and she took out the smelling salts "okay." she cracked the capsule and she held it close to sonic's nose "here we go."

you called his name, softly, and you spilled lots of unspoken things into those five letters.

a whiff of those salt and his eyes immediately opened up, he set up, breathing fast "gotta go fast!"

you seated down as he started to zip around, you were finally relaxed now that you knew he was really okay and immediately the pain in your head started to kick in, again.

lots of things fell around you but you didn't bother to really understand what was happening.

finally he came to a complete stop on the table, near you, he looked down at you sitting before he looked back at the two humans.

"where am i? what year is it? is the rock president?" he spitted out those questions, one after the other, and you hid the pain that all that chaos was causing you.

he noticed that no one was answering except for tom who was telling him to calm down and he turned towards you, crouching down a little as he leaned his hands on your shoulder.

"are we in the future? are we-" you grabbed his hand and you twisted his wrist making him let out some pained sounds.

now that he was okay your anger could overcame your worries.

you pushed him away from you and he chuckled nervously turning his focus back on the two earthlings "oh, hi, pretzel lady!"

she let out a breathless hi before she asked donut lord to speak outside, leaving you two alone.

you turned around to grab the pack of ice that was still on the table, now it was wetter since the ice had been forgotten and it was starting to melt.

you brought it to your forehead and you sighed, finally having some sort of relief.

you could feel his eyes on you and you tilted your head to look up in his direction, you give him only a small nod and it left him quite speechless.

"i'm sorry- weren't you worried about me?" he asked, faking offense at your lack of words.

"no" you answered drily as you got up on your feet, you pushed the ice against his chest before you moved to look inside the aid kit.

he blinked shocked a couple of times before he turned around towards you.

"i'm pretty sure you were" he sounded confused — which he was — but he didn't dare say why he was feeling like that.

he decided to just watch you as you finally found what you were looking for: some gauze rolled up, you looked him up and down before you grabbed the ice back into your hands.

you laid it over your head for some seconds as you talked "and i'm pretty sure you should be dead"

you threw the ice into the sink on the other side of the room and sonic followed the thrown with its eyes, when he turned back around you were revealing your injuries — which had been hidden under your clothes — to change the covering.

now he was really worried.

the one on your shoulder was dirty and it smelled, you threw it to the side before you changed it with the new one.

he blushed when you looked up at him, catching him stare at you as you rolled another one around your stomach.

you covered yourself again and you stepped towards him, you grabbed the gauze and you held your wrist near his face.

you started to roll the bandage around it and you asked him for a favor "hold it" he slowly moved his hands to do so.

you finished patching yourself up but he was still holding your wrist, your bodies one near the other.

and finally he understood.

"i'm sorry" he murmured, you were so near that his whisper came loud and clear to your ears.

you huffed and you tried to move away but he kept you there, his grip loose and soft, his look strong and determined.

"it's the second time now" his words cut the deep, deeper than he could know, you couldn't hate him for it but you had every right to feel bad about it "i would never leave you" he guaranteed.

but he had already done so.

he knew you weren't believing his words, didn't matter how green his eyes looked or how sweetly the words came out of his mouth.

"i will do everything to stay together" his breath hit your face and your nose twitched "nothing can put me down as long as you are here waiting for me" he promised.

he looked down at your lips than back at your eyes, searching for some kind of emotion, for an answer.

the sides of your mouth curled upwards in the form of a taunting smirk, teasing words leaving your mouth "so sickening sweet" you mocked him.

he laughed, his fingers finally opened up and you both realized how really close you had been, and for no reason at all.

the sounds of steps approaching made you both take a step back.

that was pretty awkward.
