WHO: Sonic Wachowski and Chipp
WHAT: Ice Cream Meeting
WHEN: After IC Anon Confessions
WHERE: Ice cream shop in Blossomcrown
WARNINGS: Talk of loneliness and isolation probably.
The plan had been to get some advice on a problem Sonic had been having without having to out his damage to the people he was close to. Its not...its not like Sonic doesn't trust them or anything like that. Like gun to his head, Sonic would admit to his damage in a second to those people he's close to because its really not about trust.
Its because he doesn't like people being sad.
He doesn't like being sad.
He prefers to think of the happier things. The good things he had in his life now. He doesn't want to bring the people who make him happy down by talking about things no one can change now.
Its just sometimes those sad things catch up, one way or another.
Back home, Tom and Maddie were smart. They could put together the clues. The fact he hadn't seen Longclaw since he was a kid. Living in a cave. All the reports of the Blue Devil and weird, unsolved petty crimes.
They're not stupid, and they could put enough together to try and help some of his worst struggles without having to really...TALK about it. Not often anyway. Sometimes things would slip and they would talk, and he hated it. Hated seeing them sad. Hated seeing how hurt they were he had to suffer like that.
Because they cared and loved him and he understood that they didn't begrudge learning this about him, but it still wasn't something he enjoyed.
But if there was one thing he hated more than anything else, it was someone feeling resigned to loneliness.
There was nothing stronger. It was that same feeling of empathy that had made him forgive Shadow when his blinding rage cooled. It was what made him think he could connect with Knuckles. The same thing that made him reach out to Rinku and Evangeline in different ways.
Loneliness was terrible.
Feeling trapped in it was worse.
So even if it meant someone would be sad for him, it was worth it if he could help someone who had that same feeling.
So he ran to the ice cream shop. Thought about it for a bit, before getting praline and butter pecan. And then it was lemon sorbet and strawberry for him. Then he would wait at a table, starting to eat his.
Because hey, he's hungry.
