#stompbot

I've been working on this since the @sonic-takeover Stobotnik wedding.... But I DREW ALICE!!!! She's my favorite, I love her sm and it took me a while to figure out how I see her since I don't really draw robots a lot buuuuut.... Tada!!!🎉

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*

If I were to write fanfiction on ao3, which story would you like to read first?

Amy is in distress? Thank you for alerting me. *He was busy keeping the fan still. He beeps at Alice. She beeps back and walks over to hold the fan in his place while he hurries to Amy's side* My love.

Metal? *Amy looks up at him. Upon seeing his sharpie-drawn smile, she begins laughing through her unshed tears* Ahaha! Awww!! Ohh I love you, you're so cute~! *She reaches up and holds his face in her hands* Never change, my sweetheart.

*Metal's fans hum as she holds his face. He changes his eye screens to resemble closed eyes. He had recently discovered that eyes play a role in nonverbal communication in mobians*

*Amy's eyes widen when she sees him close his eyes. She holds her breath, as if any movement might make him stop* ..... I didn't know you could do that...

I learned it recently. Does it put you at ease?

... Yeah.... Yeah, it does... Aww...~ Kiss?

Let's hear some of y'all's coming out stories!!

He-Heyyy, happy pride!! This is my first one actually. But uh... You guys already know my story, eheheh~

It was because of me.

Yep~ Shads is the one who made me realize I'm not just into the ladies. In case there's anyone new here who doesn't know, though, I'm bi!

I'm gay. I have never been attracted to women, so I knew pretty early. As a child, I liked Elvis very much. It wasn't until I became familiar with the current time, however, that I had a word for it.

Elvis?? Oh my chaos~

Yes. Shut up.

Hey, happy pride!! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's already here! So I'm bi, and I found out when I was a kid, maybe around 12? I had this friend growing up who I had a really big crush on, and she was a girl. But it wasn't until I met Sonic that I realized my feelings for her felt the same as my feelings for him. It took me some time to understand and accept myself, but now I'm out and proud, hehe!

I have not considered these things. But I am in support of Amy and her friends. From my understanding, that makes me an ally.

Mhm~! My favorite ally in the world~ *She kisses his cheek*

I have had what I thought were brief crushes on men before, but I have since discovered that feeling to be admiration, not attraction. I am solely attracted to women. As for my story... I did not seek romance for most of my life. I was too busy. I did, however have a lady's maid I would sneak off with to kiss. I did not understand at the time what that meant. When I met Silver, I believed myself to have feelings for him at first, but when I compared that to how I felt for her and for Amy, I understood the difference. Silver is merely an admirable teammate and good friend. It also takes me some time to realize my feelings, so perhaps... Demiromantic lesbian?

Omnisexual~ For me, attraction is attraction, regardless of gender. I do prefer women, though~ Men are more fun to flirt with, but women have my heart, hehe~ Especially one woman~

Aww, haha! I'm a lesbian. I've known since I was a kid. It's just always been girls for me. But I've never found a girl I liked as much as Rouge here~

*Rouge giggles and kisses her cheek* My story, dear, is a fun one. I discovered my skills in flirtation when I was starting off being a thief, and eventually realized I found every kind of subject cute, no matter what their gender was. I thought I was pan for a very long time, but eventually I realized I preferred women. It was when I dated Topaz that I accepted it.

I'm pan!!! I'm into all sorts of people, and it all feels basically the same as far as attraction! I found out when I moved into the bigass house and started thinking about love! Now I know myself and have a bunch of flags all over my room, hehe~!

Oh, uh.. I don't really know! I just kinda like who I like, I guess. Back in my old timeline, we didn't use labels like this, so it feels really foreign to me. It wasn't something people cared about, I guess? They just accepted it. But I do know I like Espio! That's all I need :)

I am homosexual. I found out by accident when I was a teenager. I was dared by someone I knew to kiss a boy as a prank, but I found I enjoyed it. A few crises later, I realized I had only ever had real crushes on guys. I'm still very private about my sexuality, but I do not believe I hide it well. I have sometimes met people who somehow automatically knew. Perhaps I give off a "vibe," as Silver would call it.

I do not see the purpose of this. My life is that of a warrior. I am the guardian of the Master Emerald, I do not seek distractions such as these! I have never felt these feelings as my companions describe. Amy has told me that means I am the "aro of ace."

THEY KISSED

ALSO I HAVE CELEBRATORY ICE CREAM CAKE

-🐉 Anon

Woah wait, they kissed?? It went that well??

Ooh, ice cream cake! I'll call over Cream and Sage, they'll love this.

I'll call Metal!

You just wanna see your boyfriend. This ain't about Sonic and Shadow.

E-Eheh.. Maybe..~

*Rouge grabs Silver as he floats in from outside. She spins him around in the air* This boy is no longer the son of two separate idiots, but now a couple!

Aaaaahh!! Rouge what?? Wait really?? Hooray!! *He spins with her*

*Alice opens her garage door into the house* Hiiiii I heard someone yell "kiss!" Who kissed??

Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Other Hedgehog kissed while being on the surface of the moon.

Wha- I dunno how that works but EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! *Rouge lets go of Silver and flies in circles around Stompbot* Oh Alice, they're finally gonna be done with their weird gay drama!!

Finallyyyy girl we need another karaoke night.now that they're together!!

A karaoke night with two sappy smoochy new couples? I'm out.

As am I. I do not understand these things. I would prefer to train.

.... Wanna search for Bigfoot with me?

What is this big foot you speak of?

A monster that may or may not be real. I wanna catch it.

I see. That sounds more entertaining than karaoke! I will participate.

Huh? Wait, what??? NOOOOO!! *She was hanging out in the back with some of the bigger robots. She stomps over to the tables, but they're already done. She groans. Rouge flies over and sits on her chassis*

Hey girl. You okay? You look absolutely darling with those floral decals~

Thanks, queen... It's just been an off week, you know?

Mm.. Yeah, I do. Wanna dance with me once the music starts?

Hehe.. That sounds fun, Rouge! You always know how to cheer me up. Thank you.
