A sketch I drew of Piston Hondo and Great Tiger on a date. I might actually line and color this digitally.

Hondo hugging Tiger after the Convention date. I will probably draw ZenTiger a bit more.

The designs are from @/peppermintpillz in 2023 and 2024.

Piston Hondo turned the golden handle to his bedroom and shut off the bedroom light. Hondo was tired after spending most of the day with Great Tiger. Hondo always loved hanging out with Tiger. Tiger is his best friend after all. Why would he not want to hang out with him?

Piston Hondo walked over his bedroom window. He looked at the New York city streets for a few seconds. The streets were only lit by the street lights and each car’s head and back lights. There were mostly just white, black, and red cars driving by. It was surprisingly quiet. Hondo smiled a little knowing he wouldn’t be woken up by the traffic outside tonight. He slipped into his bed. He lifted the burgundy blanket over himself. Hondo closed his eyes and let himself sleep. Hondo felt as if he were falling into his mattress before falling completely asleep.

The sun shone brightly over the horizon as Hondo looked up at the soft forms the clouds took on in the cotton candy pink sky. They looked faint, thin, and soft, if he could reach up to touch them. They were a soft pink fading into some absolutely breathtaking shades of oranges, purples and blues. Hondo smiled softly. It was still surprisingly beautiful, despite how foreign it was to him. Hondo took a step forward, the grass lightly brushed against Hondo's knees. Hondo stopped and looked down at his legs. He was wearing his boxing outfit. He raised an eyebrow. Why did… Hondo brushed it off. Maybe he had to be… Wherever this was… At a very specific time and didn't have time to change. He paused for a few seconds before he continued to walk forward. The grass got shorter and shorter as he continued to walk forward, even though the sun nor the clouds didn't seem to move. Hondo's soft smile returned as he quietly admired the field.

After what seemed to only be a few minutes, Hondo saw a dark brown wooden bench in the center of a circle of pink flowers. The left side had a bunch of giant flowers that Hondo remembered are named 'Nelumbo Nucifera'. Hondo walked over to the left side of the circle without stepping inside of the circle. Hondo got on one knee and held the flower gently. It was the size of his hand despite looking and feeling so soft and delicate in his hands. His eyes widened in shock. Hondo let go of the flower and got up. He looked to the right of the circle. The right side was full of Sakura Blossoms. Hondo walked into the circle and sat down on the bench. He stared at the flowers. As the flowers get closer to the center, the flowers just become petals mixing. Hondo smiled. He loved the beauty that the flowers had.

Hondo felt something push him into the bench. The push was harsh despite it seeming like wind pushed him. Hondo looked at his hands. He couldn't see them anymore. He started to panic. Hondo looked towards the bench. He saw himself look to his left. The sun seemed to move faster as he heard soft footsteps to his left seemingly coming towards him. He saw himself pull Great Tiger into a loving kiss. Tiger happily accepted the kiss and held Hondo’s face. He watched his body let go of the kiss and stare into Tiger’s eyes like he was the only thing in the universe. Hondo’s eyes widened as he saw himself get on one knee. The sun had completely set as the stars and moon surrounded both of them. It was breathtaking. He saw tears roll down Tiger’s face as the ring glistened in the moonlight. Hondo floated closer to his body to get a closer look at the ring. It was a simple emerald ring. It had a few small diamonds on the left and right of it Tiger immediately said softly “Yes, absolutely.” Hondo’s body stood up and pulled Tiger into a kiss. Great Tiger happily kissed Hondo.

Hondo’s eyes widened and he looked at his transparent hands.

Was this some sort of sign?

Hondo looked at himself and Tiger holding each other happily, the ring glistening on Tiger’s finger. Hondo looked down at his hands again.

Was he in love with Great Tiger?

No, he couldn’t be.

Great Tiger is his best friend!

He… He isn’t gay… No, he isn’t.

He couldn’t be.

Is that even possible?

Well... if Disco Kid can, then he could...

Possibly...

Piston Hondo’s alarm went off as he slowly opened his eyes. He stared at his white ceiling. The sun’s rays peeked out from his curtains. He blinked away his exhaustion. The bleeping from his alarm clock felt grading. He sighed, sat up in bed and took a deep breath.

He can’t let his dream ruin his relationship with Great Tiger!

He won’t let it!

Piston Hondo got out of bed. Hondo grabbed his phone from his tall black wooden night stand and opened Tiger’s contact. He typed “Hey Tiger, what did you want to do today?”. Tiger typed back immediately “We could go see a movie today. I know that there are a few movies still in theaters right now.” Hondo hummed to himself and then typed “Sure.”
