SONIC, SHADOW GET HOME QUICKLY HES BACK FROM HIS DATE!!!!! HES SO HAPPY!!!

Yeah!! Yeah yeah!! *He puts the cake, 29 baguettes (they ate one), and their bags on the counter with his telekinesis, then throws himself at Espio, hugging him tightly and letting his legs float up off the floor* Ohh this was perfect, thank you, Espio!!

*Espio blushes, his scales shifting to match. He hugs him back, closing his eyes as his face is practically smothered in Silver's fluff* Of course. Thank you, too. I... Couldn't have asked for a better day.

*Silver grins, pulling back to look at him. His hands linger on his shoulders. He's studying Espio's face, hesitating*

..... What?

... Can I kiss you on the cheek? I keep wanting to, um... But I know you said that's too soon..

*Espio is staring up at him, flabbergasted. Silver wants to kiss his cheek? The guy Espio likes also happens to like him too? This is real?? He shakes himself from his thoughts, then nods* It is too soon for a real kiss, yes. But that... Is permittable.

*Silver lands back on the floor, his face flushed behind his giddy smile. He takes Espio's hand and leans in close, closing his eyes as he presses a single sweet kiss to Espio's cheek. He pulls away and waves at him as he floats into the air again, grinning* Okay bye! I'm gonna go tell my dads!

*Espio is frozen. His cheek is tingling from the feeling of Silver's lips. He lifts his fingers to lightly touch the spot. Once he's alone, he allows himself a moment of unprofessionalism. He stomps his feet excitedly, shaking his fists around with a stupid smile on his face. But only for a few seconds. Then he stops, takes a deep breath, and goes about putting their leftovers away*

*Sonic gets to the room first. He leans casually against the back of their stray armchair, examining his shoes for pebbles. Shadow gets there a moment later, climbing through the window a bit more carefully. He clicks his tongue and starts tidying up Sonic's side of the room. Sonic looks up* Hey! Wait, what are you doing?

Your side is a mess. I'm cleaning it.

I said I'd get to it.... Eventually..

Consider this my love language then. Are you gonna keep me from expressing my love by not letting me clean this mess?

..... Noooo?

Good. Next time, clean it before I have to.

Yes sir, eheh.. *He looks up as Silver bursts into their room, floating through the door with his hands in the air*

IT WAS A DATE-DATE!!!

*Sonic stands up from leaning* Really?? Silv, that's awesome!!

Yeah!! We're gonna go on a second date!! *He grabs Sonic's hands and they start spinning around the room and laughing*

Heh.. Congratulations, Silver.

Pops! *Silver leaves Sonic and goes to hug Shadow* Thank you so much for your help, Shadow.. I couldn't have done this without you.

*Shadow pats his back, smiling softly* You could have. But I'm honored you asked me for help anyway.

*Sonic walks over and hugs both of them tight* Mmm!! My guys! Where are you and Espio going for your second date?

Oh! Uhh.... That's a good question... I planned the first one, so does he plan the second one? Or do I?

He does. But if he doesn't, I suppose... That's something you would decide together.

Hmm... How do you guys do it?

Just whoever thinks of a good date first, hah! But it tends to go back and forth, yeah. I think it's my turn next, right?

Mhm.

Awww!! You guys are the best. I love you. Okay I'm gonna go tell Alice and Rouge!!! Bye!! *He floats off before they can say anything*

..... Ya feeling proud, pops~? *Sonic elbows Shadow, a teasing smirk on his face*

*Shadow bursts into the room, making a beeline for Sonic* Who hurt you!!

Uhhh... Like physically, emotionally, also which time..?

Just now and physically.

Ohhh. Uhhh...

It was me.. We were playing catch and I threw the ball when Sonic wasn't looking.. I'm sorry...

You should be.

Shadow!

What?? He hurt you!

It was an accident!

He shouldn't have been throwing anything at you in the first place! If you get hurt again, it could become serious. I can't let that happen. The one time I left you alone-

Shads! Baby, come here.

*Shadow huffs and gets on the bed, crawling over to hug him. Sonic pets his quills*

You still grumpy from timeout, honeybuns?

.... I hate you.

Aww..~

Oh, good idea!! *He looks around the bigass house for a bit before poking his head into the kitchen to find Shadow sitting on top of the fridge with Cream* Hey pops! Happy Mother's Day!!

What..?? I'm not-

*Silver hums to himself, wandering off to the Sonadow room to see Sonic. He opens the door to an intense game of rapid-fire catch between Sonic and Tails. Silver speaks over the laughter* Hey dad!! Happy Mother's Day!!

Thanks, Silv!! Catch! *Sonic throws the ball at Silver, who catches it with his telekenesis before it can hit him*

Awwh, no fair!

Sorry, Tails! Here! *He uses his powers to shoot the ball at Tails, hitting him in the stomach and sending him toppling backwards*

Oof-

Oops! Sorry!! *Silver hurries over to Tails to see if he's hurt. Tails gives him a weak smile*

I'm okay! Just got the wind knocked outta me, hah..!

Oh, whew..

Hey, careful of the side table, okay? That's my mom's stuff.. Kinda..

*Silver looks over at the table, just noticing it. He looks at it for a moment, before bowing to it* Happy Mother's Day, Sonic's mom.

... Longclaw..

Longclaw. You raised one of my favorite people. Thank you.

And of course…

*Silver had tried distracting himself with this ask, but now he's just staring at the second-to-last drawing. His cheeks turn pink and he looks up at Espio as the chameleon meditates next to him. He looks back at the drawing, muttering to himself* .... Does he... Is.. what...? *He gets up and heads into the dining room, where Wave and Rouge have collected the Hooligans for lunch* ..... Hey Rouge, Wave? Can I talk to you?

*They look up. Wave exchanges a look with Rouge, then gets up from the table* Yeah, come on. Let's talk in the kitchen.

We've got you, pookie~

Thanks you guys.. *He floats into the kitchen, followed closely by the other two. He holds the drawings close, fidgeting now that they're all alone* ..... So um... You're gay, right?

As hell~

Mhm. Why?

.... Is this gay? *He shows them the drawings. Rouge's eyes go wide and grabs them out of Silver's hands*

Ooh~! Hmm.... Would you like it to be?

I dunno, why is everyone asking me that..?

Well, because you get a say in it, darling~ Your feelings matter. Do you like him~?

Oh. Uh... *He fidgets with the fur next to his neck* I mean.... He is really nice.. He's smart, and interesting..

Handsome~ Strong~

Yeah- I mean, sure, I...guess.. *He can't make eye contact*

Aww, hehe~ ... Listen, sweetheart.. *Rouge touches his shoulder, making him look at her* You don't have to reciprocate. You don't have to like him, or anyone. But if you do, that's okay. You deserve to accept those feelings in yourself. Hopefully, they'll be reciprocated too. But.. Just try not to force yourself one way or the other. Okay sweetie?

I'm... Confused.. How do I know if I like him..?

Hmm.. Do you want that picture to be real?

I dunno... Maybe...

Then maybe you just need to give yourself time to think about it. You don't need to know right away.

Mhm~ And if you have questions, we can help. And your dads.

Heh.. thanks, guys.. you're the best. *He hugs them both tightly*

Aww~ Anytime, cutie~

He did. And it's none of your business.

We totally weren't havin' a kiss sesh on the roof. Nope. *He sits on the bed, looking over the food Silver and Amy made*

..... You traitor. *Shadow sits next to him, putting a napkin in his lap*

Love you too Shads~ Did Silv make all this? It's like.. Pro. Look at this, there's garnish!

Impressive. He must have had help. That boy had been surviving off of drywall for years. There's no way he made this himself.

Maybe he got his cooking skills from you~

You flatter me. But no. This has Amy written all over it.

Ohh yeahh.... Yeah it does... That's nice of her.

Indeed. *Shadow takes a bite of his pasta* .... This is an excellent father's day.

Oh hey Shadow, real quick though cause dear Chaos you're cute as hell like this, guess what else?? Not only are you dating the super hot guy (who apparently has negative braincells at the moment my guy Sonic what-) BUT! You have a son with him!

*Shadow's quills slowly fluff back up as he lays there on the couch next to where Sonic is sitting and still having a crisis. Shadow looks over at him. Then down at himself. Then at Sonic again* ..... Which of us had the baby..?

*This manages to pull Sonic out from his angst. He turns to stare at Shadow, bewildered* What??

They said we have a son, so...

Neither of us?? No one had the baby. There wasn't a baby, it... Gaia.. He's a grown man who we unofficially adopted.

... What..?

Exactly. But it's kinda nice to be looked up to, so we went along with it.

Oh. .... Huh. Okay. *He looks over at the wall, then back at Sonic* How many people live here?

Oh, uh... Jeez... At least ten I think.

Holy crap.

Yeahh.. That isn't including visitors, too.

Wow... I've never had that many friends before.. I am friends with them, right..?

...Heh.. *Sonic scoots over to pet his quills, smiling as Shadow melts into the touch* Yeah, babe.. You are.

Good. I like it here.
