after a few more chance encounters ( during all of which he refused to leave king alone, ) sonic has made the less-than-normal decision to follow this hero home. heās a ninja, so being stealthy & quiet as he trailed behind king had been quite easy ... & since he hadnāt been detected the entire time, he managed to figure out not just what apartment building he lives in, but also the number of his apartment itself.
that was about a week ago now, & heās been too busy to stop by until this evening. except when he shows up in casual clothes & with a bag of groceries on his arm, thereās no answer ... nor does he hear anyone inside. too impatient to wait in the hallway for god knows how long, sonic makes yet another strange decision: he breaks in. thereās a few bobby pins in his hair, so he uses one to pick the lock, neatly replaces it, & lets himself inside ā he even locks the door behind him once heās stepped in, though itās less about being caught than it is about not wanting anyone else to wander in like he just did.
heād been right in his assumption that king isnāt here ... but hopefully, heāll show up soon. either way, sonic brought ingredients to make dinner, & thatās exactly what he intends on doing; & so, he gets to work, commandeering the heroās kitchenette for his own use. when king gets home, his apartment will smell like frying meat and vegetables ... but the first thing sonic says when he spots him borders on an insult, somehow.
ā there you are. do you have any spices in here? ā
@sciassā ā plotted.
