HHHHHRRuuggghh…. So sorry for the boop booth delay but with the recent heat heaves and weather heating up where I live, it puts a toll on my energy levels and drawing mood 😓
Anyways, it’s good to be back! I’ve got some other fun things once the boop booth is finished so stay tuned! :3
The afternoon sun had dipped low long before Shadow had decided to come outside; the big star casting gloomy and strangely shaped shadows as a soft breeze rustled through the grass, the trees and his black and red quills.
The black and red quilled teenager in question closed his eyes as he sat slightly in front of a tree not far from the Wackowski home, feeling the wind brush against his entire body.
And just for a small moment, all the buzzing chaos and never ending uncertainty in his mind slowed and came to a stop.
The steady whisper of the wind felt like a gentle hand, wiping away the fear that coiled inside of his chest, booming and projecting like a loud bongo drum.
The hand felt soothing, grounding, and comforting.
It didn’t feel like the hedgehog was being enclosed with the same air that filled his lungs, rather, a warm and steady hug with a breeze that seemed to carry the heavy weight that was his memories.
The small gust of wind felt like familiarity.
The small gust of wind felt like home.
The small gust of wind felt like…her.
Shadow hugged his knees to his chest at the thought, not looking at anything entirely specific as he stared off into the distance that was The Wackowski residance.
It’s funny in a way; really.
A months days ago…he was wondering if he’d even survive to see another sunset.
Now, he was staying at his rival's home…experiencing one...
…Guess life was funny like that.
“‘Thought I’d find you out here.” A blue hedgehog said way too casually as he walked up to the teen underneath the tree, a bag of jellybeans in his hand as he smacked on them like they were going to disappear at any moment.
Speaking of the devil...
“What is that supposed to mean?” Shadow glared defensively almost like clockwork.
“My first couple months on Earth I sat in that exact spot your brooding in right now…only makes sense you’d give it a try.” Sonic smirked as he shrugged his shoulders, his smirk widening a tad bit as he saw the older hedgehog’s eyebrows pinch together in annoyance.
The slightly taller mammal broke eye contact, looking down at the small greenery that was their lawn. “I don’t ‘brood’.” He grumbled.
The blue devil chuckled to himself, leaning his back on the tree as he crossed his arms casually, intaking the normal yet comforting scenery, “What do you call that big frown on your face then, hm? ‘Looks like brooding to me, man.”
The older teen’s eye twitched, ignoring the snarky comment as he picked at the grass below him, “Why are you here, Sonic?” He deadpanned, hugging his knees to his chest tightly, “Because if your here to tell me about those useless Christmas color coded plumber people again—”
“—The Mario Brothers.” The emerald eyed mammal corrected.
“—I don’t want to hear it.” The black and red quilled hedgehog finished. “Their names don’t even make sense.” He scoffed like the two video game characters' existence was a personal offence, “Only one of them is named Mario! So does that mean he is named ‘Mario Mario’ while the other one is named Luigi Mario or is there an actual last name the creators aren’t letting us know so we pay more attention to Mario instead of Luigi?”
“…Huh.” The slightly shorter teenager hummed, “…I…never thought about it like that.” He mumbled as he scratched the back of his neck, confused but also kind of endeared at the other hedgehog’s random revelation.
And now that he thought about it…it would be kinda interesting to see Shadow and Tails debate on that topic…
Shadow scoffed whilst rolling his eyes, “That’s your problem. You don’t think.” He said as he uselessly picked at the grass underneath his air shoes again before letting the small strands blow away.
“Yeesh…okay, honesty train coming in hot. Aaaaaall abroad.” The emerald eyed mammal mumbled as he tapped his fingers along his arm in a timely fashion, still eating his mismatched colored candies.
Tom and Maddie had always reminded Sonic to be honest no matter what; ‘Honesty is the best Policy’ if you will.
But Shadow…took that saying to a whoooooole other level.
And it showed.
“You honestly and truly think I came all the way out here just for you to find me and converse?” The antihero humorlessly snorted, (and if the situation was more light, Sonic would’ve made a comment on it…but the Chilli dog loving teen did not).
“I came out here to be alone.” The older teenager voiced in annoyance.
The speed incarnate stiffened slightly at the other’s grumbled statement, putting his crossed arms and jellybean bag in his hoodie pockets as he kicked a small portion of the dirt below him, “…Sorry.” He muttered, “You just…I-I dunno. You looked…lonely.”
Shadow sighed heavily at the other hedgehog’s sudden changed demeanor, dragging his palm along his face as he rested the back of his head on the tree bark, “I’m The Ultimate Lifeform. I don’t get…‘lonely’.”
“That’s what I used to think.” The unruly wind giggled quietly, a small smirk forming on his face due to how similar yet how different they were, “I was never ‘The Ultimate Lifeform’ like you but I did title myself as ‘The Fastest Creature’ alive…or ‘The Blue Blur’ for short.” The green eyed mammal winked as he did finger guns at the other, holding back a small snort as the antihero’s ears drooped down in disgust.
Whether the disgusted feeling was directed towards Sonic’s persona name, his finger guns or both, the blue hedgehog wasn’t really bothered to ask.
“I am not calling you that.” The older one out of the two of them said whilst rolling his eyes.
“Was worth a shot.” Sonic snickered as he and Shadow both jumped slightly as parts of the sky whitened for a second, displaying a loud crackling sound as light rain started to fall.
Sonic smiled gently, walking out from under the tree and not looking at anything in particular as he gazed into the darkened cotton candy looking fluff that was the clouds; feeling the rain cascade down his ears and onto his back quills.
And Shadow did not question it…
…Much, anyway.
“But…I do admit, as time went on, I realized that I kiiiiiinda gave that name to myself out of loneliness.” The blue quilled hedgehog admitted, “I-If that makes sense.” He laughed softly, “Like…naming myself that would give my existence a sense of purpose o-or meaning…like I had a destiny…even if I made up.” He said as he walked back under the tree, sitting next to his ‘dark rival’.
‘And just in time, too’, they both thought as the rain began to get more and more heavier.
But thankfully, the two stayed dry due to the tree’s leaves shielding them from the downpour.
“You felt…invisible and powerless; giving yourself a name such as that paved a way for you to take control and create an idea that only you could command—something strong…and heroic, unlike how you might have felt back then.” Shadow concluded.
“Exactly!”
“Well, sucks to be you then, I guess.” The slightly taller hedgehog hummed, “Unlike you, I was given my name and purpose by my creator.”
“…Good for you, Shadow.” Sonic grumbled at the older’s…gloating? Bragging? Sonic wasn’t sure what this conversation was anymore.
“Great for me.” The Ultimate Lifeform corrected.
“Great for you.” The other lifeform grumbled begrudgingly, “Look Shads, I’m just trying to give you advice and trying to help you—”
“Yeah? Well, maybe don’t.” The lone operative interrupted harshly; a bit too harshly. Suffocating silence soon followed after his uncalled for statement, the two awkwardly looking away; not knowing how to start up the conversation again as it seemed to die out almost instantly.
The silence was thick…and awkward…
Ohoooooo so awkward…
Shadow kept his eyes locked on the ground, his fingers intertwined with each other on top of his knees.
That…sharp edge in his voice still lingered in the air, curling around the tree leaves like everlasting smoke.
The wind then suddenly picked up…not loud or violent—but just enough to stir the trees in the distance and tug at Sonic’s hoodie.
The air sent a chill across Shadow’s spine; like a nudge that wouldn’t go away.
The blue quilled teen had shifted his weight, switching to sit criss-cross on the grass; clearly slightly hurt by the other’s words but not saying a word. The young teen’s hands moved slower than usual inside of his hoodie pockets; quieter.
No humming whatsoever.
No side-eyes or playful looks…just…silence.
Which honestly made Shadow feel even worse.
The black and red quilled teenager opened his mouth but…the words stalled in his throat completely.
The wind blew again, sharp and steady this time—blowing some of Shadow’s quills in each and every direction.
“Alright…alright,” The antihero muttered to no one in particular, “I get it…”
“I’m sorry. I was being a jerk.” The older hedgehog said to the blue hedgehog, his tone softer than the blue hedgehog in question had probably ever heard it, “I just…find it weird when others show that they…genuinely care about me. I don’t know how to react.” He sighed, “But you didn’t deserve that.”
The wind picked up again—gentler this time, brushing Shadow’s shoulder almost like trying to mimic a reassuring pat.
Sonic met Shadow’s eyes, morphing his face to a small yet amused smirk as the usually stoic brooder blushed in slight embarrassment, looking down again.
“Anyways…I suck. You're cool. I’m sorry.” The crimson eyed hedgehog said, trying to be casual but failing very very miserably.
“Yeah…you do really really suck.” Sonic agreed wholeheartedly, “But it's okay. I forgive you...” He giggled as the red and black quilled mammal rolled his eyes for the millionth time today, bumping shoulders with him, “…For your rude words and how much you suck.” He said more sincerely.
The world seemed to have gone still for a moment, the kind of still that made every sound feel louder than it should—the rain pitter pattering on the tree leaves, the wind rustling in absolutely anything and everything; Shadow’s own breathing.
Sonic didn’t say anything; just pulling out his jellybeans and eating them once more.
Finally, the crimson eyed teenager exhaled—shaky and barely audible, “…May I admit something?” He quietly asked.
“Sure!” The blue quilled hedgehog closed his jellybean bag to the side, giving the other his full and undivided attention.
“Although I was given my name, what I am and what I’m supposed to do…I don’t…” Shadow exhaled through his nostrils, “As ironic as it is: I-I don’t know how to execute any of those things correctly.” He locked eyes with the younger hedgehog, “You barely knew who you were when being here on Earth…and yet you still found your purpose here.”
“Ihi wouldn’t say all that...” Sonic giggled, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly, “…The path to certainty is never a straight line, Shads. Purpose isn’t always a push in the right direction, y'know.” He smiled as he watched the rain fall sporadically. “Sometimes…it's an unsure but steady pull towards something that feels worth the effort—even when it seems hard or challenging.”
“I’ve known since I stepped foot onto Earth I just…wanted to help people.” The Chili Dog loving hedgehog concluded, looking at his emo counterpart, “My pull…was my family and Green Hill…what’s yours?”
The older teen’s jaw clenched slightly at the question—was this dumbass listening to anything he’d been saying for the past hour they’ve been out here?
“I just told you: I don’t know.” The crimson eyed teenager frowned.
“Then figure it out then!” Sonic smiled, practically shooting up from where he was sitting, not being able to contain himself. “Life isn’t gonna wait for you, Shads!”
The antihero pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to hide his inevitable smile at his strange counterpart’s contagious excitement, “What does that even mean?” He sighed.
“Live life! Be free! Roam! You're not gonna find your quote unquote ‘purpose’ by just lounging around looking at the grass all day. You have time…use it.” The emerald eyed hedgehog said, “Even I don’t know everything. I’m learning too…but that's what makes it all worthwhile! Don’t rush the process, man. Life is a highway afterall.” He grinned reassuringly.
“Besides…no one said you gotta figure all of that out right now.” The speedy devil said, “I know it doesn’t feel like it sometimes, but, while you're trying to survive the chore known as life…don’t forget to live through it too, yeah?”
“You are…strangely good at giving advice.” Shadow said.
“Heh…I get that a lot.” Sonic giggled, his laugh emitting in amused volumes.
The rain seemed to calm now as it gently pattered against the leaves from above; having no particular rhythm other than softness and steadiness like a snowflake dancing in a snowglobe.
The breeze once again returned, swaying the rain droplets gently down the tree bark and onto the soil.
Then, out of nowhere, a tiny ant, barely bigger than a baby's thumb, crawled up the toe of Sonic’s shoes.
It seemed to hesitate slighlty but then ducked itself beneath the shoe straps, curling its little body as if to shield itself from the outside world.
The blue devil didn’t make a sound, smiling down at the little inscent as he gently cooed the small thing, adjusting his posture so they both had absolutely no chance of getting wet.
Despite that fact, the blue quilled hedgehog carefully hovered his hand over the ant, shielding it from an imaginary droplet that simply seeped through the leaves.
Shadow watched the ant as well, a rare smile forming on his face as well as he watched the two interact.
The older hedgehog couldn’t help but feel a small sense of…deja vu? Familiarity?
…He…wasn’t quite sure. He just knew that the situation seemed so…melancholic in a way.
“…You…okay?” Sonic asked quietly, noticing the solemn yet sad look on the others' face.
Shadow’s face remained the same, his chest feeling tight but not in a claustrophobic sense as he exhaled, nodding his head as if a chained weight had been lifted off of and freed from his shoulders. “Y-Yes…” He stammered, watching as the ant happily danced on Sonic’s shoes as the wind danced around the three of them, “…Just…remembering something.”
Sonic nodded, deciding not to push any further as he saw the sky clear up slightly, inhaling the fresh scent of petrichor as the small ant hopped down from his shoe, planting a spot right next to him.
The blue hedgehog got up, stretching his arms as a loud yawn escaped his mouth, “Ready to head back inside?”
“…No.” Shadow quietly admitted, cringing at the thought of being caught in the crossfire between Knuckles and Tails’ reenactment of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul’s fight from Star Wars.
“C’moooon…I don’t want you catching a cold out here, man! We can go to the porch or something but I think my butt fell asleep!” The emerald eyed teen moaned and groaned dramatically as the small ant hopped down from the shoe to frolic around the two.
The tension in the lone operative’s face seemed to ease up, being replaced with something more playful, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, “I say again: sucks to be you.”
“You’re mean.” The shorter mammal pouted.
“And you're annoying; guess we both have flaws.”
“But that’s what makes us super awesome.” Sonic reasoned, attempting to pull Shadow up on his feet but the other hedgehog stayed stubbornly where he was seated. “Nohow. gehet. uhuuuuup!” Sonic tried lifting up Shadow but the older one just stared at him blankly.
Sonic huffed like the other teen sitting there was a personal offence, crossing his arms as he looked away begrudgingly “You're ruining Sonic JR’s sunbathing time!”
“Sunbathing…wihith noho sun?” Shadow retorted.
“Stohop beeheeing sohoh judgemental!” The Chilli Dog loving teen laughed, grabbing the other teenager’s arms but was pulled to the ground by him almost instantly.
“Gehet yohohour dihirty mihihitts off ohof me!” Shadow grunted, half laughing whilst Sonic tried to drag him upright. The two tumbled on the grass, laughing more now.
Sonic straddled the other hedgehog’s hips and pinned his wrists to the grass with a wide grin, “Oho…nuh uh! You’ve been rude to me this entire time we’ve been out here! Isn’t that right, Sonic JR?” Sonic said, looking at, well, Sonic JR. the ant before looking back at Shadow, nodding in confirmation. “Sonic JR. agrees.”
“You two look absolutely nothing alike.” The red and black quilled hedgehog huffed.
“How dare! The resemblance is uncanny! You're just too blind to see it, faker.” Sonic dramatically said, lightly pinching the other’s right side.
Shadow squeezed his eyes tight against the action, shaking his head back and forth as he tried to break out of Sonic’s hold but to the antihero’s surprise…the younger was actually surprisingly strong,“Ihihi’m nohot the faker heeheehere! Yohou are!” He giggly grumbled through gritted teeth.
“Says the one giggling like a Teletubby...” The blue quilled hedgehog taunted while sticking his tongue out at the other in a silly manner, poking his stomach sporadically which caused the older to squirm in every which way.
“I-I pffteheh dohoh nohot gihihiggle!” Shadow denied, not even attempting to ask what in the hell a ‘Teletubby’ was.
He could honestly just look it up later on Mr. Wackowski’s computer and hope for the best that it wasn’t some dumb video game character like The Mario Brothers.
“Oho yeah, tough guy? What’s this then? Hm? Hmmmmm~?” Sonic teased, wiggling his fingers in Shadow’s underarm.
The older teen let out a loud squeal despite his lips being completely pursed, kicking his legs from behind Sonic, “Ihihi’m gohOHONNA freeheeHEEaking kihill yOHOou!!!” The crimson eyed hedgehog shouted.
“Pff…with what army, man? Your squeals and shrieks?” The younger snorted at his own comeback, letting go of the other’s wrist and he stuffed both of his hands inside of his underarms, moving his fingers at an agonizingly slow pace. “God, I’m soOoOoOo scared…what ever shall I do~?”
Shadow threw his head back in complete and utter hysteria, arching his back quills into the grass as Sonic’s stupidly unbearable fingers scratched underneath his arms…
…That smug bastard.
“PfftAHAHAH—squeal! IHIHI H-HATE YOHOHOU!” The antihero yelled in an embarrassed high-pitched shriek, much to his dismay.
“D’aww…your laugh is so stinking cute!” Sonic teased, a big, cocky smile plastered on his face as he tickled his enemy turned rival turned emo brother into pieces.
“SHUHUHUT. UHUHUP!!!” Shadow cried, his face fur slowly turning the same shade as his irises.
“Shuut uppp~!” Sonic mocked without letting a single beat pass.
“IHI hic DOHOHON’T hic SOHOUND LIHIHIHIKE EHEH THAHAT!” The other teen squealed louder than the sound barrier could obtain.
“I don’t sound like that~!” Sonic continued.
“SOHOHONIC!!!” Shadow yelled through his laughs as the speedy devil mercilessly squeezed at his hip area. Shadow pounded his fists on the floor as his other arm wrapped around his torso, trying to bat Sonic’s hands away.
Sonic snickered in amusement; it's not everyday you could see his brooding buddy completely belly laughing, y’know! “Shadow~!”
“NAHAHAH—hic! STOHOP MAHAKING FUHUHUN OHOF ME!!!”
“I’m not~!” Sonic protested.
Shadow growled lowly through his giggles, kicking the air as he let out a bone quivering squeal, “YEHES YOOHOU F-FUHUCKING AHARE!” He shouted.
Sonic, completely unfazed by the others screechy shouts, released his hands from Shadow’s arms, letting the older one breathe for a second as he dramatically cracked his knuckles and neck as he tickled Shadow once more. “Okay…that’s enough back talk from you, Mr. Ultimate Ticklish Lifeform.”
“DOOHOO YOHOHOU hic EHEVEHER hic hic SHUHUHUT UHUP???” The black and red quilled teen howled.
The speed incarnate hummed in fake thought, peering up to the iridescent thing that was the night sky, “Never tried; and don’t eeeeeever plan to.” He said as he tickled Shadow’s ribs and hips with SuperSonic Speed™, catching the older so off guard he snorted loudly before submitting into a new fresh wave of desperate cackles.
“Geez…I gotta do this more often.” Sonic beamed, “Your laugh is pure serotonin, man.”
“O-OKAHAHAY SQUEAL OHOHOKAY!!!” The slightly taller mammal cried a breathy squeal, happy tears of mirth forming in his eyes as he banged his fists on the ground and the other’s arms for one final measure, “STOHOP! STOHOHOP hic STOHOHOP IHIHIT NOHOW!!!”
“Alright, alright…I’m stopping, I’m stopping.” Sonic ceased his torturous tickling fingers almost immediately, letting the older catch his breath as he got off of him.
“You okay…?” The emerald eyed teen asked a couple seconds after, “I didn’t overstep any boundaries, right?”
“I-I’m ohokahahay.” Shadow grumbled despite the wobbly, silly little grin he was trying to wipe off his face.
Jesus…this family really made him soft as hell.
And he will admit…he kinda loves them for it. Go figure.
“Good.” Sonic nodded, putting a hand on his hip, “Now can we pleeeease go back inside?”
“Suhure, Sohonic.” The older one chuckled lightly, getting off from the ground as he dusted himself off, shaking his head fondly as the blue quilled hedgehog smiled down at the ant and scooped it up in his palm.
Shadow rubbed his arm anxiously, his eyes still on the other, “Sonic?”
“Hm?”
“…Thanks.” Shadow admitted quietly, “For the talk. And well, you know…”
Sonic smiled at the small flustered words of appreciation, “‘Course, twin. Always happy to help.” He giggled as he bumped elbows with the others, squeaking when the other in question sneakily jabbed him in the side, “AHACK! H-Hehey! Hehey!” Sonic absolutely squealed, “Yohohou're attahacking ahan uhunaharmed mahan!” He playfully scolded, “Wihith a chihihild ihin thehe vicinity!”
“You attacked me first.” Shadow deadpanned.
“Yeheah! Buhut you deserved it!” The speed incarnate huffed as he crossed his arms in a dramatic fashion before putting Sonic JR. down carefully and picking up his jelly beans, eating them directly in Shadow’s face, much much to the others dismay and disgust.
“SONIC! SONIC #2!” Knuckles’ voice came distant and sharp from the porch to the two hedgehogs. The two paused their bickering, turning towards the red echidna, “MOTHER REQUESTS YOU COME INSIDE BEFORE YOU CATCH A SICKNESS KNOWN AS THE COLD!”
“Aww man…” Sonic pouted before clutching his chest as if he’d been shot, “Hey…wAIT A SECOND…‘SONIC #2’?!”
Shadow took offense to the nickname as well, clutching his chest as he glared at the other, “I was born before you! If anything you should be Sonic #2!”
“But my name is Sonic! That makes no sense!” The shorter teen shouted in obvious disapproval.
“You don’t make any sense!” The red and black quilled hedgehog retorted.
“Your face doesn’t make any sense!”
Knuckles blinked as he watched the two hedgehog’s back and forth from a distance, “I wonder what they are bickering about…” He stood outside for one second longer, completely baffled before heading back inside, letting the screen door swing shut behind him. “…Oh well; not my problem.”
“Whatever…we can discuss that later.” Sonic huffed before pointing to the house with his thumb. “You ready to head in?”
“…Yes.” Shadow agreed, “Lets…Let's go.”
“It's: ‘Gotta go fast™’…but you'll get the hang of it.” The emerald eyed teenager smirked at the other. “Bye bye, Sonic JR!” Sonic smiled sweetly as he blew kisses to the insect, “Seeya later!” He waved as he dashed to the house with his usual speediness.
Shadow chuckled fondly, crossing his arms as he walked to the Wackowski residence. And as he did so, he looked up to the blue dusky gray/grey sky; no rain in sight.
Shadow's chest tightened—not from the cold or uneasiness, but from that too familiar feeling that crept into his heart without warning.
That…certain heaviness that felt like it was stuck to you like molasses.
Sonic came back outside after realizing Shadow didn’t quite follow after him.
But Sonic didn’t rush him, just quietly stepping towards him as he held out his hand, “C’mon, Shads…Dad popped popcorn to watch the rest of Tails and Knux’s weeb fight thinga mabobber.”
The taller mammal looked at the smaller’s hand and then took it without a word, the both of them walking towards the house now.
The wind stirred—soft and low, almost like a satisfied sigh. It brushed through Shadow’s quills, curling around his torso like a ghost of a hug.
Shadow blinked…and for the first time in years…his breath came a little—no…a lot easier.
Shadow looked back at the tree and squinted, looking at the tiny ant that was still where the two hedgehogs were sitting earlier.
“What?” Sonic asked, trying to look in the direction Shadow was.
“…Nothing.” Shadow murmured, eyes still on the ant, “It’s just…still there.”
“Guess Sonic JR. just really likes the wind.” Sonic giggled, slipping inside the house with Shadow.
Outside, the wind tapped once against the window panes, stirring at the tree leaves and making them rustle gently.

Maybe with the concept of Tails overworking himself with inventions and Sonic helps him destress?
(Love your fics!!)
💛 “Break Time, Bud!”
Lee!Tails | Ler!Sonic
Genre: Tickle Fluff, Comfort, Big Brother Energy™
Tink! Tink! Clang…!
The sound of tools echoed through Tails’ workshop. It was well past dinnertime, but the twin-tailed fox was still hunched over his workbench, goggles perched on his head, eyes glued to the schematics of his newest invention.
Another sip of cold soda. Another exhausted sigh.
He didn’t even notice Sonic step into the doorway.
“…Tails?”
No answer.
Sonic padded closer, leaning over his shoulder with a frown. “Dude. It’s been five hours. When’s the last time you blinked?”
“I’m almost done,” Tails murmured, not looking up. “I just have to recalibrate the flux stabilizer and run another conductivity check and—”
“Tails.”
The fox’s wrench paused in mid-air. His ears drooped.
“…Okay. Maybe I lost track of time.”
Sonic gave him a look, then grinned. “Yeah. Ya think?” He reached over and gently took the wrench from his hand. “C’mon, genius. Break time.”
“But—!”
“Nope. Not negotiable. You’re vibrating like a soda can about to explode.”
Tails groaned, rubbing his eyes. “But I have to finish this—”
Sonic suddenly smirked. “Ohhh, I see what’s going on here~ Someone’s stubborn.”
Tails blinked. “Huh?”
“You leave me no choice.” Sonic dramatically rolled up his sleeves. “If logic doesn’t work… tickle therapy it is.”
Tails’ eyes widened. “W-Wait, no—!!”
Too late.
Sonic lunged with practiced precision and skittered his fingers right under Tails’ arms, making the little fox squeak and nearly fall out of his chair.
“SONIHIHIC—!! Hehey!!” Tails squirmed and clutched at Sonic’s hands, laughter bursting out of him before he could stop it. “That’s not faahahahair!!”
“You know what’s not fair?” Sonic teased, now squeezing up and down his sides. “Overworking yourself again. You promised you'd take breaks, remember?”
“I forgot!! Ehehehe—!!” Tails kicked his legs, tails twitching behind him. “It’s not like I meant to—!!”
“Uh-huh~ You’ve got a whole workshop full of reminders and still manage to out-stubborn a Chaos Emerald.”
He scribbled at Tails’ tummy with featherlight pokes, grinning ear to ear.
“C’mon, buddy—laugh it out. You’ve been buzzing like a toaster all day.”
“NOHOHOO I’M BUHUZZING BECAUSE YOU’RE TIHIHICKLING ME!!” Tails giggled, hiding his face behind his arms.
Sonic snorted. “Exactly~ So let’s buzz that stress right outta ya!”
He leaned in, giving one of Tails’ twitching tails a light tug just to hear the high-pitched "EEP!" that followed.
After a minute or two of playful, gentle tickles, Tails finally went limp with giggly aftershocks, wiping tears of laughter from his cheeks.
“…Feel better?” Sonic asked, ruffling the fur between his ears.
Tails gave a sheepish smile. “Yeah… actually, I do.”
Sonic offered a thumbs-up. “Then the mission was a success.”
He held out a hand. “Now c’mon. We’re making hot cocoa and watching movies. I’m not letting my favorite little bro turn into a work-zombie again.”
(Let’s ignore the context behind this image and scene they’re simply hugging for no reason at all because silly family stuff. I’m delulu)
So I just watched Sonic 3 and my goodness that movie was actually really good. And only fed more of my fixation so take some silly headcanons!! SPOILERS for some Sonic 3 things but I’ll try and keep it as minimal as I can…
-GRGRG THIS SILLY LIL HEDGEHOG!!!- (Leonardo is that you…)
-Lee🪶
-Okay we can all agree that this hedgehog is incredibly ticklish…
-He canonically gets giggly from puppy kisses all over his face!
-On the topic of kisses he get super giggly from them practically everywhere. Maddie sometimes will pepper his face in them and he just wags his tail.
-Bro. Is. A. RUNNER
-If he knows it’s coming he WILL try and get away. BUT he will let himself get caught most of the time on purpose because he enjoys the bonding and the laughter.
-He’s also quite a kicker too. He kicks so much little blue sparks sometimes come from his legs and lil paws.
-It’s a main happy stim of his!
-His favorite spots have gotta be his sides, face, and ears.
-Like if someone flutters their fingers behind his ears or heaven forbid scratch behind them. You will earn a SQUEAK and little ear twitches! But soon enough just dissolves into soft giggles.
-SNORTER!! He’s just a little piggy!! Especially when you get a good spot of his!! Like his ribs and underarms >:33
-I think that Knuckles and Tom are the ones that get him the most.
-Knuckles usually does it to get back at the blue blur for all the times he’s tickled him, or uses it as a training tactic.
-His belly is also quite the squeal spot for him. ESPECIALLY if it gets lots of raspberries to that little fluff.
-His quills puff up a little and just hugs onto his ler’s head.
-His laughter is VERY loud and usually has a hard time keeping it in….
-Such a sweet and clingy thing afterwards. Will be attached to you like a duckling for a few hours afterwards and hug onto you.
-Tom sometimes walks around with him clung to his leg and Maddie just shakes her head.
-Ler🪶
-OHOho this hedgehog is a teasy little MEANIE!!/lh
-Says shit like- “OHOHO!! Did I get a bad spot? Where? Right hereeeeee?!?” Meanwhile someone like Tails is just squealing his head off and pushing at his cheek.
-Does a lot of fast spidering and scribbling.
-He goes after anyone without any regrets at all. Literal tickle monster of the Wachowski house once he learned what tickling was.
-(Casually coughs about @sunsetsandsunshine’s fic with Tom and Sonic)
-Everytime he hears a new noise he HAS to call it out just to tease his lee further and call it adorable or silly.
-“Oh my gahash that was adorable! Can you do that again if I getcha rrriiighhtt…HERE!?”
-He’s the type to usually laugh along with the one he’s tickling the entire time. He just loves hearing them all laugh and finds it contagious!
-Once he fixed things further with shadow and had him join the family. (I’m delusional I can do what I want, let him be happy) He would definitely would have caught him up with visits from the tickle monster.
-Usually tickles Tails into stepping away from his inventions if he’s been working on them for too long and clearly needs a break.
-SHOCKS!!! This little shit uses little electric shocks to be even more of a tickle monster. Like he’s also ready tickling with his fingers and just sends low voltage shocks through his fingertips to make it worse.
-Even more so if he knows it’s a bad spot to really get em laughing.
-Expect a good hair ruffle after he’s gotcha good too.

-OUGHH MY LITTLE BABY AAAAA-
-Lee🪶
-This poor little fox is the most ticklish little thing in the entire house.
-Agent Stone said it himself. He’s adorable.
-He laughs like an actual fox would! Along with his normal squeals and squeaks!
-His little nose twitches after a good while and it’s the cutest thing.
-His favorite spots gotta be his back and belly. Gonna get lots of double tail wags!!
-Although he likes his belly tickled he can only handle it for a little bit if it’s a full on wrecking because it’s also his worst spot!! He likes it the most when it’s gentle.
-Acts similar to a puppy would when getting scratches and wiggles there.
-Usually will squirm a LOT in his let’s lap but rarely make an actual effort to get away.
-The insides of his little fox ears redden once he’s embarrassed and laughing a lot too!
-Tickled silly by everyone because of how adorable his laughter is and just how ticklish he is too!
-Knuckles would simply pinch his side and his tail would puff up and nearly jump across the room.
-He WILL fly around the house in a tickle chase and hide himself in his tails afterwards. Either wrapping them around his torso or hiding under them like they’re blankets.
-SPEAKING OF! He will hide in the tiniest places wherever he can. Tom and Maddie are amazed by how many drawers they have found him in when hiding from tickles.
-Once teased he will CONSTANTLY be telling you to shut up.
-Poor thing can’t handle baby teases for the life of him. Just hides his face in his hands and wraps his tails around himself.
-He will get little hiccups after a while.
-Can NOT say the t-word. He straight up calls it that too. Thats the only way he will refer to said word. Makes his cheek fur pink.
-Ler🪶
-More often than not he’s the one being tickled but he does have his moments with doing it to others!
-Sometimes uses his inventions to his advantage! I feel like he would have built some small extending arms from his backpack with little hands. And having tiny feather extensions as well.
-He’s usually more gentle with tickles unless he’s getting sonic back for something or teaming up with knuckles or shadow.
-BIG nuzzler!! He usually just nuzzles his face into peoples necks and hugs them under their arms.
-USES. HIS. TWO. TAILS.
-He will just brush them up and down one of his brother’s sides and tummy while also going up and down their backs. It’s an “evil” tactic they have all experienced/silly.
-Way too shy to actually tease on purpose. Usually gives compliments and goes into facts and such!
-“Did you know that laughter causes a boost in serotonin and dopamine levels? OH! And that’s what makes you so happy when you laugh. Who knew!”
-Has little fox fangs! Rarely uses them but will just nibble on the side of his lee’s neck and bury his face.
-Will give the tightest hugs afterwards and gentle cuddles by your side.
-All in all is generally a really gentle and sweet ler. Although the second you mention tickling him in return he immediately stops and tries running away.

-KNUCKLES MY DUMB SILLY EVER RAAAH
-Lee🪶
-He’s so confident like WTF DUDE
-He will straight up ask people for tickles when he’s in the mood. Without any sense shame at all.
-“Excuse me! I would like to humbly request for tickles!”
-For the longest time he literally had NO idea what it was. Wasn’t something really brought up in his childhood. But soon learned once he saw Sonic tickling tails for the first time. Was explained what it was and loved it ever since.
-His favorite spot is his underarms! just scribble in there and you’ll receive LOTS of happy cackles. And the rare occasional tail wags.
-His worst spots however are his thighs and knees. Those are the spots that he will actually surrender and pound his fists on the ground for.
-The first time Sonic squeezed his knees the poor guy was kicked across the room against the wall.
-He will just rest his arms above his head and lay his head back.
-His laughter is generally soft and deep chuckles along with squeaks every now and again.
-Will sometimes challange Tails to tickle him and straight up hold his arms out. “I am proofed of this silly thing today.” He also uses it as an excuse to let Tails get him back for all the times he’s wrecked him silly.
-Ler🪶
-This guy…THIS GUY- He’s literally so unintentionally silly when wrecking someone.
-He usually states the obvious as a form of teasing. And even comparing people to animals or other noises and that usually does end up working. “You’re laughing quite a lot!” “You do seem quite ticklish!” “HAHA!! You sound like a mouse right now!”
-Like I mentioned previously he uses it as a training method at times. Sometimes to test endurance and how long it takes them to last until they burst into giggles. Shadow’s record is about 5 seconds. Sonic’s is 1. And Tails…poor guy doesn’t even have one.
-Doesn’t tend to use raspberries all that much but he is a nibbler!! Does little bunny bites with Tails on his tummy but big shark bites with Shadow and Sonic.
-On the rare occasion he will hide behind his quills and just pull them along side his eyes if he’s embarrassed. Usually if you’ve been getting
-He would as use his strength to pick people up ALL the time. Tails is often a victim of being held upside down and swung around like a little plushie before tickling him.
-Throws people over his shoulders as well in every way.
-Will definetly be making sure you can’t get away once you’re in his grasp. Sonic usually tries squirming away and just gets grabbed by his sides and dragged back.
-“The dishonor!! Just accept your fate that you’ve lost to me!”
-Gina get lots of noogies and movie time afterwards. Usually puts on a baking show or happy Gilmore and such.
-Just a big goofball that loves making others laugh.

-Okay this guy had no idea what tickling was until he met Maria. She maybe only did it a few times to him but just simply pokes and side squeezes. The whole thing was very confusing for him but he didn’t really complain about it.
-After making amends with everyone and joining the family he soon would learned what it was for real this time.
-He most likely would have gotten his side squeezed or poked in the back by Sonic or Knuckles. Simply jumping a little and raising an eyebrow. “What was that for?”
-He would have been left alone from it for while until probably asking one of them to do it again out of curiosity. And probably realized he liked it. He would never in his life admit that out loud. Never ever.
-His favorite spots are his sides and palms! Just gently squishing his sides or placing kisses or gentle traces on his palms make him all giggly.
-He usually doesn’t laugh all that hard and isn’t actually super ticklish but in the places he is you’ll get lots of chuckles.
-However his neck and paws are his worst spots! They make him snorty and dissolve into full on laughing. He can only handle it for a very short time however.
-Tails has maybe tickled him one time while Knuckles and Sonic get him more often. Sometimes team up on him to make him less grumpy. Which it does work more than half the time.
“Ah ah I see that smile! Come on let me seeee!” -Sonic
“Nahat a chance…” -Shadow
-Denys enjoying it even when he’s full on smiling ear to ear.
-Ler🪶
-This guy is generally a silent but deadly kinda Ler with his brothers.
-He hasn’t really done anything with Tom or Maddie yet but secretly hopes hell be able to one day.
-TELEPORTS!- This little monster will cheat in chases and teleport in front of or behind someone to gently squish their sides or tackle them.
-He sneaks up on people and just scares them like he’s in a horror movie. Usually softly smirking to himself. Like that one scene in the third film.
-He usually doesn’t pick on tails that much but will give him the occasional gently poke to the back or side to get his attention. Or to give him a small smile.
-Sonic and Knuckles are his main targets when he gets the occasional Ler mood.
-“You really thought you could escape the ultimate life form? Oh Please…”
-Will so casually shaking his hands into one of his brother’s worst spots while they’re cackling and not even being fazed at all.
-Will just hold his Lee bridal style and wiggle his fingers against their ribs and sides.
-He doesn’t really tease very much and is either really gentle or REALLY wrecking you mean and silly.
-Loves running his fingers through peoples hair or quills afterwards. He likes the soft feeling and it was something he used to do to Maria.
