Agent Stone x (f) reader

Part thirteen {the masterlist}

Warnings: Sonic 2 era

Word count: 16.8k

"HE'S BACK! THE DOCTOR IS BACK!!!"

Y/N staggered where she stood upon receiving the text message from Stone that the Doctor had returned. She was scared, and this fear within her was evident, coupled with the shock on her face. Robotnik’s return seemed likely to turn everything upside down.

"Is this... the end of the road?" she whispered to herself. The screen of the phone in her hand was about to go dark; she needed to write a reply to Stone, but she didn't know what to type. Frankly, she didn't even know what to think.

She was going to return to New York. That was the initial agreement. But a lot had changed since then.

"Baby, are you okay?"

Another message. She took a deep breath, straightened her back, and finally, her fingers began to move to type a reply. She decided to answer honestly.

"I don't know how to react."

This message brought a slight smile to Stone's face. He knew she was shocked, and he had been surprised himself, but he was also happy. He pressed the call button and held the phone to his ear.

"Are you serious?" she asked the moment she answered the phone. She could hear Stone's faint chuckle from the other end of the line.

"Absolutely serious. He texted, 'Prepare my latte'. I've cleared everyone out and prepared everything. I'm just waiting for him to arrive." Stone replied to her. His excitement was palpable even in his tone.

A silence followed. Y/N didn't know what to say. Her feelings were a jumble, but the sharpest of them was fear. The fear of loss...

"Y/N? Baby? Are you there?"

"I... I'm scared, Stone." she finally confessed, her voice barely a whisper. She had closed her eyes. Sensing her state of mind, Sylvester immediately got up from beside her and settled onto her lap, as if to remind her that he would be by her side no matter what.

"What are you scared of? Your father?"

"No..." she just said.

"Oh..." he responded. He finally understood what was going on. "I assure you nothing will happen. We'll be together. I promise."

"How can you be so sure? Didn't you say it was hard to predict even an hour ahead when you were with him?" she snapped. She was struggling to hold back her tears. Her voice trembled. "How can you be so certain that I won't lose you too?!"

Stone placed the fingers of one hand over his closed eyes. He understood Y/N's anxiety, but he also had faith in the Doctor. That was the difference between them. "Do you remember the plans we made?" he asked calmly.

"Yeah..." she replied with a sigh. They had prepared for Robotnik's return, crafting two separate plans for two distinct possibilities. And in both, they ended up together.

"Good. Then you don't need to worry." he said with a smile. Just then, a silhouette appeared, approaching the cafe. "I have to hang up now. And remember, I love you."

"I love you too." she replied but the call had already ended before he could hear her. She tightly hugged the cat in her lap and let go of the tears she had been holding back. Her tears were an expression not only of fear but also of the anger she felt toward Stone's seemingly carefree joy on the phone. How could he be so relaxed?

After a while, Y/N gently put the cat down from her lap and wiped her face with trembling hands. Her fear slowly gave way to a cold determination. They hadn't made two separate plans against the possibility of Robotnik's return, but based on the outcome of the inevitable war between Robotnik and Sonic.

Plan A (if Robotnik wins): Stone would stay by the Doctor's side, and Y/N would live comfortably and safely with Stone under Robotnik's new order in Green Hills.

Plan B (if Robotnik loses): If Robotnik were defeated and disappeared -or died- Y/N would take immediate action. She would erase all traces of their life in Green Hills and return to New York. Stone would follow her, and they would build a new, happy life together in the big city.

Y/N got up and quickly walked toward the bedroom. With hasty, systematic movements, she brought down two large suitcases from the top shelf of the wardrobe. As she was stuffing everything she could find into the suitcases, she paused when she picked up the dress she had worn at Walters' party months ago. Implementing Plan B was the surest way to secure both their futures. However, nothing had happened yet. It wouldn't be logical to make a decision just yet.

Stone had given her a promise over the phone. He had faith in Robotnik. Y/N had to have faith in Stone.

She left the suitcases open where they were and went into the living room. She had no choice but to wait. While trying to suppress the panic inside her, she turned on the TV. She was searching any news channel for even the slightest clue, anything about Robotnik's return. But there was nothing. Only ordinary, boring Green Hills broadcasts were on the screen.

She turned off the television and headed for the window. She pulled the curtain aside. The current silence of Green Hills seemed like a terrifying harbinger of the storm that was about to break. As Y/N listened to this silence, she knew Stone was currently face-to-face with her father at the Mean Bean. Although she didn't know it yet, both their futures depended entirely on the outcome of the battle she would watch from this window.

Y/N leaned against the windowpane. She fixed her gaze on the town's main street and let out a deep sigh. She would wait. She felt trapped between her trust in Stone and her distrust of her father.

She spent that night on the sofa, waiting sleeplessly and anxiously. Not a single message had arrived from Stone.

Y/N had dozed off where she was, just as the morning sun began to rise. While she was taking her short nap, the town had already started to stir. Sylvester, to signal that he was hungry, rubbed himself against his owner's legs, causing Y/N to wake up with a jolt. She rubbed her aching eyes, got up, and quietly went to the kitchen to feed her cat.

While Sylvester was greedily eating his fill, noises began to rise from outside. "What the hell..?" she muttered to herself. She immediately looked outside the window, while at the same time turning on the news channels on the TV. Green Hills had suddenly started filling up with G.U.N. troops. Tanks, personnel carriers, and soldiers... Y/N's heart was pounding out of her chest.

A few minutes later, the sky began to take on a strange look, and the noises intensified. Then, a massive metallic body started rising piece by piece from outside the town: The Giant Eggman Robot.

Y/N was glued to the window, as if frozen in place. Through the glass eyes of that colossal, terrifying, and mustachioed robot, she could make out a small silhouette. This had to be Doctor Robotnik. Her father...

She ran to get the binoculars from one of the drawers in the study and looked again. Yes, it was definitely him. But he looked different from the pictures. He had changed. And a little way from him, near the control panel, was someone else with a familiar, calm posture: Stone. She would recognize that smile anywhere.

Seeing that he was also inside this destruction machine justified all of Y/N's fears. Stone was by the Doctor's side. "No..." she whispered desperately.

The battle quickly began to rage across the town. As far as Y/N could see from the window, she watched the relentless struggle of the robot against Sonic, accompanied by the live broadcasts on TV. The town was shaking, screams were heard, and all of Y/N's hopes were being shattered.

But the moment everything ended had arrived.

The Giant Eggman Robot took one final blow, rising from the sky. The scene she saw on the screen and through the window was the same: that colossal metal monster was toppling towards the hills of Green Hills in a heavy, noisy collapse. Debris and clouds of dust covered everything.

Y/N remained at the window, breathless. The news anchor was talking about 'Doctor Robotnik's Defeat' and 'The Destruction of the Giant Robot'. Y/N had seen Robotnik fall with the gigantic wreckage and naturally assumed he was dead. Another knot had been tied in the one that had been inside her for years, but she didn't grieve for him.

But what about Stone?

Y/N looked again at the TV screen and the dusty wreckage area visible from the window. Stone's name wasn't even mentioned in the news. Stone's fate was unknown. The wreckage was vast and confusing. Y/N pressed her forehead against the glass, tears streamed down her cheeks, wetting the marble of the window frame. She desperately wished that Stone was not dead.

After minutes of despair, Y/N slowly moved away from the glass. She straightened her back. She wasn't crying anymore. Her emotions had abruptly shut off, like a robot. All that remained was the obligation to do what had to be done.

With exhausted steps, she walked to the bedroom and finished packing the suitcases she had left half-done. With great speed and a mechanical coolness, she crammed all of Stone's personal belongings -every piece of clothing, every book, and every memory- into the suitcases. Then, she took the suitcases and Sylvester's carrier cage and headed outside to the car. She loaded everything into the car.

It was time for the most critical step: activating the badniks programmed for cleaning. Stone had previously defined her voice specifically to the badniks. The command she gave was simple and definite: "Erase all fingerprints, DNA residue, and foreign traces from the house."

With this voice command, the small cleaning badniks immediately sprang into action. The badniks spread across every corner and every surface of the house. Y/N didn't hesitate to even have Sylvester's traces cleaned. Not the slightest shred of evidence of their presence in this house was to remain.

Before stepping out the front door, Y/N looked at the house one last time. This home, which had been full of her memories just two hours ago, was now completely purged. Leaving all of this behind, she closed the door. She had tasked a tiny, flea-sized badnik to dismantle the entry panel next to the door and short-circuit it. It would follow her once the job was done.

As she got into the car and closed the door, she rested her head on the steering wheel. Stone's familiar scent, which had permeated the car, now only brought her pain. She wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry as a desert. This situation seemed to double her agony.

She let out a deep breath, straightened up, and started the car's engine. She and Sylvester set off toward New York. The journey was nothing but a bitter silence. The radio was off, there was only the drone of the tires on the road. She was now returning along the very roads she had taken months ago into the unknown.

It was well past midnight when she drove into New York, but the city was still awake. She had truly missed this place, but she would have preferred her return to be with Stone. Driving through the city streets, she arrived at the house and the streets of her childhood. She got out of the car and carried Sylvester's cage and the suitcases one by one to the front door. When she turned the lock, the house, which had been deserted for months, greeted her like a dusty, cold sanctuary.

After carrying everything inside, she activated the badniks again and had the house cleaned thoroughly. Then she opened the suitcases and began to unpack and put away the belongings. Every movement was an obligation. Every item was a memory of a lover whose return was not guaranteed. As Y/N did all this, she was driven by a single purpose: to give Stone a home he could trust and return to one day, no matter where he was or how long it took.

For the three days after returning to New York, Y/N hadn't contacted anyone except Sylvester. She hadn't even left the house. Her hope was completely exhausted, and she now assumed Stone had died along with Robotnik.

That day, her feet carried her to her mother's grave, just as they did whenever she felt trapped. In her mother's presence, her tears were set free. "I'm back, mom." she whispered toward the ground. "But I'm alone..."

She slowly knelt down. Looking at the name on the gravestone, the pain inside her seemed to double. As her tears wetted the earth, she articulated the void left by Stone's absence. "You know, for the first time in my life, I felt complete. Everything with Stone... was so right. It was as if I had found the piece of me that had always been missing. But now... He's gone. And I..." she poured out what was in her mind and heart. She paused for a moment, feeling a lump in her throat. "I'm shattered again, mom." she added, her voice trembling just like her shoulders. "Losing him... I don't know what to do or what to hold onto this time."

Meanwhile, Stone was far from Green Hills and at the bottom of the sea. He couldn't recall what happened after he hit his head inside the Giant Eggman Robot and blacked out. When he opened his eyes, he was at the Mean Bean. He was alive, but his head and body were covered in cuts and bruises. The first thing he did upon regaining consciousness was to go back and find the Doctor. But when he returned, the gigantic robot was destroyed. They had been defeated. And the Doctor was gravely injured under the wreckage. After a long search, he found him and took him to a place no one could find: Robotnik's large crab shaped robot, The Crab. This place was specially equipped like an underground bunker. Doctor Robotnik was Stone's mentor, his teacher and the most important figure in his life. Leaving him in the hands of Sonic or G.U.N. was unthinkable for Stone.

He had been sleepless for days. He had put the Doctor under treatment there and hadn't left his side until his condition was stable. Robotnik was in a coma, but thanks to Stone's efforts, his vital signs were steady. Stone couldn't contact Y/N because he didn't want to risk any signal drawing G.U.N. to their location. However, as soon as the Doctor's condition stabilized, Stone had only one goal: to go to her.

That night, Y/N had fallen asleep with Sylvester on her lap. It was well past midnight. In her quiet house, where even the city's drone struggled to penetrate, she heard a sound that broke her sleep. The slow, almost furtive sound of the door opening. Her eyes snapped open, she dropped the cat onto the sofa and quickly sprang up. Her heart was racing.

In the hallway, among the shadows, stood a slow-moving, exhausted silhouette.

"Stone?" she whispered. The disbelief in her voice had overpowered the fear.

The silhouette slowly took a step, and his face became visible in the dim light. His hair was a mess, his face was covered in dried blood and dirt, and the wound on his eyebrow was unbandaged. His gaze was as weary as his body.

It was as if no thought remained in Y/N's mind, she acted purely on instinct. She immediately ran toward Stone and wrapped her arms around his neck. She hugged him so tightly that she could feel their bones pressing together. "You idiot! I thought you were dead!" she scolded, burying her face into Stone's shoulder.

As Stone hugged her back with the same intensity, his tension finally eased. "I'm so sorry, baby." he whispered. "I couldn't call. I had to secure the Doctor and stabilize his condition. He needed me."

While Stone took off his dirty and torn clothes and stepped into the shower, Y/N prepared a first kit. When he came out of the shower, she led him to the living room. She gently cleaned and bandaged the scrapes and wounds on Stone's body and head. During this, Stone summarized what had happened without taking his eyes off her.

When she was done, he lay down on the sofa, resting his head on her lap. Y/N's hand immediately began to run through Stone's soft hair.

He took a deep breath. "I'm so glad you're here." he whispered. "I don't know what I would do without you."

In response, Y/N leaned down with a smile and gently kissed him just beside his temple. At this, Stone smiled and closed his eyes.

As she continued to stroke Stone's hair, different languages began to spill from her lips.

"Seni seviyorum." she first whispered.

"Te amo."

"Je t'aime."

"Ich liebe dich."

"Aishitemasu."

"I can't imagine a life without you."

Stone had completely relaxed under her voice and touch. A small, happy smile was still on his face. "Come on, let's go to bed, mi amor." she said.

Stone slowly sat up. He gently cupped Y/N's face with both hands. Without rushing, he closed the distance between them and began to kiss her on the lips. Neither of them could describe how much they had missed this feeling. When he pulled back, he whispered gratefully onto her lips. "Thank you."

Y/N responded by giving Stone a small kiss on the lips. She took his hand, helped him up, and led him to the bedroom. As they both lay in bed, Y/N gently rested Stone's head on her chest and softly kissed his hair.

{New chapter is here guys!!! I want to thank you all for your patience first... In this chapter, I used the phrase "I love you" in Turkish, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese, in that order. I hope you like it! Part fourteen will definitely come btw!}

Dr. Robotnik x Agent Stone / Stobotnik

oneshot {the masterlist}

Warnings: none

Word count: 6k

They were inside a single-room bunker near the Mexican border, its plaster peeling off the walls. In stark contrast to the stifling desert heat outside, the interior was filled with the hum of Robotnik's countless processors and a powerful cooling system. The only source of light in the room at that moment was the chaotic glow cast by a massive screen projected onto the wall. Both men were experiencing the most critical moments of their characters in a survival game.

Robotnik, his fingers moving frantically over the controller, leaned back in his chair with his usual dramatic flair.

"My shields are down! I'm going to die, Stone! This is the end of the world!"

Stone, without a second thought, abandoned his character's strategic advantage in the safe zone. He plunged into the hail of bullets, placing his character in front of Robotnik's digital presence and beginning to sacrifice his own health bar.

Seeing the suicide mission on the screen, Robotnik turned his head to the man next to him in horror.

"Are you out of your mind?! What are you doing? You threw away all strategic advantage!"

Stone tore his eyes away from the final explosion on the screen and briefly turned to Robotnik. His face was shadowed under the screen's blue light. His gaze held a great stillness, more than the panic brought by the game. "If the world is ending, Doctor... I'd wanna be next to you."

At this, Robotnik's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of his lips involuntarily curled upward. It was the feeling of narcissistic satisfaction fueled by Stone's endless loyalty. He quickly tried to mask it.

"It's just a game, you idiot!" he grumbled, but his voice lacked the usual irritation.

"I meant both ways." Stone answered honestly.

A huge, dark red 'GAME OVER ' sign appeared on the screen. The two characters stood motionless side by side amid a digital apocalypse. Stone leaned back, placed the controller in his lap, his eyes fixed on their finished characters on the screen.

Robotnik tossed the controller aside and then squeakily pushed the wheels of his chair right up next to Stone. There was only a millimeter of space left between their chairs. He fixed his eyes on Stone, who was still looking at the screen with great seriousness. His piercing gaze searched for an answer in Stone's eyes.

At that moment, Stone calmly turned his head toward the Doctor, who was sitting right next to him. Now they were close enough for their breaths to mingle. Stone didn't have time to think about what he was going to do, or perhaps he didn't want to. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against Robotnik's. The kiss was a sudden release of long-suppressed admiration and an intense desire for possession. He felt the need to bring his hands to the nonexistent collar of Robotnik's sauce-stained t-shirt.

Robotnik's considerably overgrown mustache accompanied their lips during the kiss.

When their breath ran out, Stone slowly parted his lips and pulled back only a few centimeters. His breath brushed against Robotnik's face. "You should trim your mustache, sir." he said, almost in a whisper.

At this, Robotnik's eyes popped open in exaggerated surprise. "Then do it, Stone!" he exclaimed, raising his voice in contrast to Stone.

Stone grinned widely. This was the clearest approval Robotnik had ever given him. "With my pleasure."

Stone returned shortly with a simple, rechargeable shaver and a mirror in hand. Robotnik was still in his chair, hands resting on his stomach. The sharp buzz of the machine as Stone turned it on cut through the silence in the room, seemingly emphasizing the new, intense, physical tension between the two. Stone gently cupped Robotnik's chin with his left hand and pressed the shaver to the left edge of the mustache.

Robotnik quietly released the breath he hadn't realized he was holding. He wasn't used to Stone's fingers being in such close contact with his skin for so long.

"Be careful, Stone. Don't let there be the slightest deviation that will spoil the symmetry of this artwork... You will regret it." he warned, his voice low and threatening.

"Of course, Doctor." he confirmed at first. He tilted his head slightly toward him. As he ran the machine again, a trace of that newfound audacity appeared on his face. "Or maybe... Maybe I should shave it all off? A plain, smooth face... Wouldn't that be a great camouflage for a new beginning?"

Robotnik's eyes darted from the machine in Stone's hand to his eyes in a moment of horror. "If you try that, you won't be able to put that hand near my mustache again." he threatened him once more.

"Understood, sir." Stone assured him with a slight chuckle. He then focused and began meticulously aligning Robotnik's mustache back to its old, glorious state. His touches swung on a fine line between tension and tenderness.

When he finished his work, he turned off the machine and drew back. Robotnik instantly picked up the hand mirror resting on his stomach and began scrutinizing it, eyes narrowed, looking for the slightest flaw. That arrogant satisfaction spread across his face. It was perfect.

He tossed the mirror aside and suddenly, with unexpected speed, turned back to Stone. He grabbed his arm and pulled him level with himself.

"You did a great job, Stone." he said. And immediately, without waiting for a reply, he brought his lips to Stone's. This time, he was the one who initiated the kiss. The kiss was short, hard and authoritative. And there was no mustache getting in the way.

As he pulled back, the smirk on Robotnik's face held both a triumph and a deep gratitude for Stone's loyalty.

Stone tried to ignore the warmth spreading across his face, forcing a smile. "Always at your service, sir." he replied, albeit late.

Robotnik dusted himself off as if nothing had happened and reached for the controller he had tossed aside. He glanced over his shoulder at Stone as he closed the 'GAME OVER ' screen and restarted the game. "One more round?"

"You know I want to, Doctor." he said. A wide grin was on his face as he settled back into his chair.

{New Stobotnik fic is here!! I was listening 'Die With A Smile by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars' and this idea popped up in my mind. I liked it so much and I hope you like it too!}

Agent Stone x (f) reader

Part twelve {the masterlist}

Warnings: I kept my promise and everything's literally fine now :')

Word count: 10.1k

Stone had gotten up in the pre-dawn hours, long before his alarm went off. He hadn't gotten a wink of proper sleep after the silent reaction he'd given to Y/N's apology the night before. His mind was churning with thoughts about the information of Y/N's secret acquaintance with Sonic. This information had created a painful, almost unbearable conflict between the intense love he felt for her and unwavering loyalty to Doctor Robotnik.

On the other side of the bed, Y/N was in a deep sleep. She always did this when she was upset or unhappy, when she wanted to escape her problems. It was as if she unconsciously created a barrier with her blanket between herself and the difficult realities of the world, desperately trying to forget everything. Stone sat up in bed, his back resting against the headboard. With one hand, he gently pushed a lock of Y/N's hair away from her face. He could stare at her sleeping for hours, but this time was different.

After remaining in the same, tense position for what felt like an eternity, Stone let out a deep sigh. He carefully and slowly slid out of bed, quietly slipped out of the bedroom, and walked with silent steps into the living room.

Y/N hadn't even noticed Stone leaving. The crushing weight of sadness and guilt had pulled her into a profound, heavy sleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw the room was bright with morning light. Looking at the other side of the bed, she realized Stone wasn't there. Immediately, the events of the previous night came back to her mind. The silent coldness of the night before was what hurt her the most.

She scrambled out of bed, hurried to the bathroom to splash cold water on her face, and then quietly walked into the living room, still in her pajamas.

Stone was seated on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought. He was wearing the same sweatpants and black t-shirt from the night before. His gaze was vacant and fixed, staring blankly at Sylvester, who was meticulously cleaning himself at Stone's feet.

Y/N silently moved and sat down right next to Stone on the sofa. She turned to face him fully. The dark circles beneath his eyes were a clear giveaway of his sleepless night. His expression was tired. "I just wanna know why." he said calmly.

Y/N let out a deep breath. She couldn't bear this silence and tension any longer either. She wouldn't escape from talking about this. "I'm not gonna keep anything from you about this again. Look, Sonic is a funny, little kid. And I know he played a big role in my father's..." She paused just before saying 'death' and instead finished with correctly. "...disappearance, and you don't like him, but please, you have to understand me..."

Y/N's eyes began to well up with unshed tears. She lowered her head. "I left a full life to come here and I wanted to make a friend. A real friend. Because..." she paused for a moment, shook her head slightly, and let out a small, self-deprecating laugh "I won't lie to myself anymore. I've had feelings for you almost from the start. I just... couldn't admit it." she confessed. Her voice becoming quieter and more fragile with each word.

Stone looked at Y/N with wide eyes. He had never expected such a confession, especially in the middle of this tense moment. The tired look on his face had been instantly replaced by surprise and sudden realization.

Y/N let the tears that she could no longer hold back fall. "And I'm sorry. Again and again. That's exactly why I couldn't tell you sooner; I didn't want this to cause coldness between us." she said and gently took Stone's hands into her own. Her palms were sweaty with nerves, and his were as cold as hers. "I'm sorry..."

Stone couldn't bear to see her so open and vulnerable anymore. This confession instantly melted all the ice and resentment inside him. He immediately reached out, pulling Y/N tightly into his arms.

She closed her eyes and buried her face in Stone's neck. As she inhaled his scent, she realized how much she had missed this familiar feeling, even after only one night. And then, for the first time, she whispered those magic words. "I love you."

Her words brought a wide smile to Stone's face. He knew very well that Y/N didn't say things lightly, which made those words even more significant, more meaningful to him. He felt as if the last missing piece of the puzzle had finally clicked into place. While stroking Y/N's hair with one hand, he breathed in the scent of her hair. This woman was the greatest unknown and the most certain truth of his life.

After a sweet moment, Stone slowly pulled back a little, resting his forehead gently against hers. His hands still wrapped around her waist. His eyes were locked onto her moist, shining, tear-filled eyes. "I love you too, baby."

A wide, bright grin appeared on Y/N's face through her tears. "I like that."

Stone's smile also transformed into a mischievous, loving grin. "Then you'll like this even more." he said, and without another word, he gently brought his lips to hers. The kiss was deep, passionate, yet wonderfully gentle, a perfect expression of their complicated emotions.

Y/N smiled onto Stone's lips as they kissed. This kiss felt like much more than just an expression of love; it felt like a sealed, mutual agreement between them, encompassing everything that had been unspoken.

About a month had passed. This month had been the most peaceful, uninterrupted period in both of their lives. Everything that needed to be said had been said, and their relationship had settled into a comfortable, deep groove. However, peace never lasted long in Green Hills.

That evening, the customers had left, and it was time for the cafe to close. Y/N was organizing invoices in the back room while Stone pulled a small, black device from a compartment under the counter. This was a special data reader he used to interpret the information collected by one of the tiny spybot he had secretly placed in the facility the night they went to Walters' invitation. Stone regularly used it to check G.U.N.'s movements.

When he switched the device on, the red lights on the screen began to flash rapidly and alarmingly. Normally, the device only gave routine, low-level traffic information, but this time it indicated a high-level, sensitive data flow. The relaxed expression on Stone's face instantly turned hard and serious.

He quickly scanned the data. Units within G.U.N. were conducting an unexpectedly deep, focused investigation into Y/N Y/LN's identity and past. The file names being queried included the most private, intimate details, such as her mother’s former residences and even Y/N's original birth records.

Stone quickly walked into the back room.  Y/N was sitting at a small table, concentrating on writing something with a pen. Stone approached her, his voice tense and urgent.

"Babe, listen. We have a problem."

Y/N looked up at him, her eyebrows furrowed. "What is it? Did we forget to order supplies?"

Stone showed her the device in his hand. "No. Walters is investigating you. That spybot shows that there's intense and unauthorized access to data about you from the main G.U.N. systems."

The color drained from her face immediately. "What? Why?" she asked anxiously.

"I don't know yet, but he won't stop." Stone said. His eyes were locked on Y/N's worried ones. "But the good news is, there's nothing he can find. Someone has concealed your past so perfectly that even Walters can't access it. Your surname -the real one-, your life, all your connections to the Doctor... there's zero suspicious data about them in the G.U.N. systems. But still, we need to be careful." he warned, placing his hand over hers and squeezing it gently for reassurance.

"I think that 'someone' was my mom..." Y/N said, a small, sad smile touching her lips. Then she sighed deeply. "Even years later, she somehow manages to watch my back."

Stone had nothing to say to that. After a few minutes of silence, they finished tidying up the remaining work. Now it was time to reveal the other face of the Mean Bean.

"Latte with steamed Austrian goat's milk!" Stone called out the command code.

The entire cafe began to transform smoothly into a secret, high-tech base. "You really need to change that password." she said, rolling her eyes playfully.

"Why? I think it's quite creative." Stone replied with a shrug.

Y/N simply shook her head with a small, fond laugh.

The area was lit by dim red and blue lights. On the table that had replaced the counter, there was a general schematic showing the location of the G.U.N. facility from which the signal came, and the reader processing the data from the spybot. On the other side, a few screens displayed the information about Y/N and her mother that Walters had accessed. They worked and pondered over these clues for hours. In the end, they decided that waiting and observing was the best decision for the moment, rather than making a move.

Stone looked at his girlfriend, who had been hungrily staring at the screen for hours. He then got up and left to prepare something. He soon returned with two mugs of coffee and hastily made sandwiches. He placed the food next to Y/N.

Y/N looked at the sandwiches first, then at Stone. She hadn't even realized she was hungry until that moment. She picked up one of the sandwiches and took a big bite, her face lighting up with its flavor. "You're a lifesaver, you know that?"

Stone chuckled. "Yeap." he confirmed. Then he started eating his own sandwich.

Y/N broke the momentary silence between them. "I think my father tricked you."

Stone put his sandwich down on the table. "What do you mean he tricked me?"

"His note about me." she said, continuing to eat.

Stone leaned back and folded his arms across his chest. "Could you explain?"

She took a big sip of her coffee before explaining. "Look, he doesn't care about me, and that's obvious. Without question." she said and turned her head towards him. There was a deep understanding in her eyes. "But he did care about you. And that's why he left you that note."

Stone raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Where did you get the idea that he cares about me?"

"I think my father had a romantic side that he didn't want to know about or admit it. But I definitely think he had. And he somehow knew he'd disappear or die one day, so he had to make a plan to save your romantic life. Because he couldn't save -or care- his own and he didn't want the same thing to happen to you. Because he genuinely cared about you. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have bother such a thing."

She took another sip of coffee and continued. "Besides, you know, no one knows I'm his daughter. Even if we had never met, I would be perfectly safe. And I think he knew that, too."

Stone was frozen by Y/N's words. Her theory shed a completely different light on the Doctor's relationship with him. "I... I'd never thought of it that way before." he said, then a small hopeful smile spread across his face. "Maybe this plan is for both of us?"

Y/N shook her head firmly. "Nope. This is just for you. And I'm happy to be a part of it." she said, winking at him.

Stone took the coffee mug from her hand and set it on the table. He cupped her face in his hands, gently stroking her cheek with one thumb. Y/N tilted her head slightly into his comforting touch. Neither of them said anything at that moment. There was no need. Everything they wanted to say was already there. Stone's eyes drifted to her lips. He slowly closed the distance and brought his lips to hers. This simple action contained more meaning and gratitude than words ever could. He truly couldn't imagine a life without her anymore.

Their sweet and romantic moment was interrupted by a sharp signal sound. Without pulling away from each other, they glanced at the large screen next to them. The scan was totally complete. G.U.N. had apparently reached the end of their investigation and were returning empty-handed, having found nothing.

Stone smiled, his eyes never leaving Y/N's. They were relieved. The threat was over. As he turned off the device and hugged her again, he had already planned to celebrate the night in his mind.

~ Doctor's Plan ~

Agent Stone x (f) reader

Part eleven {the masterlist}

Warnings: some tension and a little bit angst but don't worry everything's fine

Word count: 15.3k

That morning, Stone woke up early and watched Y/N as she slept beside him. She looked completely at peace. Sometimes, when he looked at her, he felt like he was seeing the Doctor, the Doctor he'd been desperately waiting for to return for months. What would he think if he knew all this? Stone couldn't guess. But he was absolutely determined that no one, and he meant no one, would ruin this. Not even the Doctor himself.

"Why are you watching me?" Y/N asked in a sleepy voice. She opened just one eye and looked at Stone.

Stone was pulled from his thoughts by her voice. He smiled mischievously. "Can't I admire my view?"

Y/N opened both of her eyes. She yawned and stretched, trying to wake up. "You've been doing the same thing for days. Don't think I haven't noticed." she replied. How many days had it been, anyway? 12? 13? She wasn't sure.

Stone didn't change his expression, still smiling the same way. Y/N brought her hand to her face, as if checking if something was there. "Is there something on my face? Did I get a pimple or something?" she asked.

"No." Stone simply said.

Y/N frowned slightly and pursed her lips. As she tried to sit up, she noticed her necklace was turned around and fixed it. It was the silver necklace Stone had given her.

"Looks like you really love that necklace." Stone said, changing the subject. Y/N had worn it every day for nearly two months.

"I do." she said. A smile on her face, she ran her finger over the pearl on her necklace. "I really do."

The smile on Stone's face deepened. Y/N's connection to this necklace was proof of how precious she was to him. "You know, there was something I didn't tell you that night. Something I couldn't say."

"Really? What was it?" Y/N asked, raising an eyebrow with curiosity.

"I told you the necklace looked like you..." Stone began. He placed his fingers over hers on the necklace, and his other hand on her cheek. He took a deep breath, his eyes locked with hers. "You're that shining pearl, I'm the sea that is captivated by that pearl." he said, almost in a whisper.

Y/N was touched by his words for a moment. She felt her eyes well up. This wasn't just a compliment; it was a sign of how deeply Stone understood her. Still groggy from sleep, she responded to the intense feelings in her heart with a single action. As she pressed her lips to his, a single tear fell from her tightly closed eyes. The moment the tear touched his hand on her cheek, Stone gently wiped it away with his thumb.

At that moment, Sylvester, who was sleeping at the edge of the bed, got up and tried to get between them. He squeezed in and lay down. As their lips parted, both of them were smiling.

"I think someone's jealous..." Stone said with a laugh.

Y/N smiled and stroked Sylvester's back. "He might be jealous of you because of me. It seems like he loves you in a special way."

Stone smiled and stroked Sylvester's head. "I'm sorry, little guy." he said, his voice soft. "My heart belongs to your mama."

Y/N's smile turned into a wide grin. She squeezed Stone's cheeks with one hand. When Stone's lips puckered, she couldn't resist the adorable sight. She gave him a quick, playful kiss on the lips and jumped out of bed. She burst out laughing as she looked at Stone's surprised face.

"I'll go first!" she called out as she reached the bathroom door, then closed it. Stone smiled, sat up in bed, and started to get ready to change his clothes.

A short while later, they'd both had breakfast and were on their way to the cafe. As they walked, Y/N wrapped her arm around Stone's. "I think I'm starting to love this town. Everything here is so... basic. It's like one of those classic, calm, peaceful towns from an old story." she said, then added. "But still, sometimes I miss the chaotic atmosphere of New York."

Stone just smiled, but it was a sad smile. Y/N noticed it when she turned to look at him. Stone missed his boss, too. "What about you? Do you miss the chaos?" Y/N asked, wanting to show him she understood how he felt.

"Yeah." he said. "Everything's chaos when I'm with him. Every day, you don't know what the next day will bring. You can't predict it. He always has plans for everything. Big, ambitious, and... sometimes explosive plans."

Y/N noticed that Stone was careful not to use the past tense when talking about Robotnik. Contrary to her own belief, Stone thought he wasn't dead and would come back someday. It was something he secretly always hoped for.

Y/N's inner voice wanted to ask him, 'What about you? Would you like to be like him, to make plans like him?' But she didn't say it. She saw Stone's longing for Doctor Robotnik as a kind of loyalty she could never understand. So, she decided not to press the issue further.

When they arrived at the cafe, Stone opened the door with the key while Y/N leaned against the window. They got to work right away. Within a few hours, the cafe started to fill up. It was a busy day, and they were both trying to keep up with the orders.

Stone had just finished his work in the back of the cafe and was coming back out with a tray when he noticed Y/N was signaling him to come over with her fingers. He put the tray down and went to her side, looking at her with a questioning gaze.

"Look, that girl who's just coming in. The one in the green dress. She came in the other day when you weren't here." she whispered. Stone looked in the direction Y/N pointed. A young woman in her early twenties wearing a green dress came through the door. Her eyes were scanning the room, as if she was looking for someone.

"So?"

"She asked about you, where the other barista was... When I told her you weren't here, her face fell, and she left without ordering. Do you know her?" she asked in the same low voice. She raised one eyebrow, waiting for Stone's answer.

He looked at the young woman again, but she didn't look familiar at all. "No, I don't know her." he replied.

At that moment, the young woman approached the counter. Stone went behind the counter to take her order, and Y/N stood right behind him, watching.

"Oh, I finally found you here!" the woman said with a giggle. "Um, I'm having a party. At my place!"

Despite the woman's over-the-top cheerfulness, Stone continued to stare at her with a blank expression.

The young woman put an invitation on the counter and pushed it toward him. "The party is tomorrow night. I hope you'll be there!" she said with the same cheerful tone. She held out a hand for him to shake. "By the way, I'm Jess."

Stone left the young woman's hand hanging in the air. A feeling of jealousy surged through Y/N's veins, and she took another step closer to Stone.

"And of course, your sister can come, too." the woman added, pointing to Y/N with her hand that was still hanging in the air.

The blank expression on Stone's face suddenly turned tense. "She's not my sister." he replied immediately. It was the first thing he'd said to the woman. "She's-"

But the woman cut him off. "Uh, anyways... I have to go now. See you later!" she said in a rush, waving and leaving the cafe.

Stone tossed the card on the counter aside, not caring at all. Y/N narrowed her eyes, looking at him with a questioning gaze. Unfortunately, Stone couldn't make sense of it.

She didn't react at all until the last few customers had left the cafe. When they were completely alone, she put her hand on her chin as if she was thinking. "Uh... I wonder what I should wear tomorrow night, brother ?" she said. Without giving Stone a chance to speak, she continued. "And more importantly, who should I take with me?"

"Y/N..."

Y/N ignored him and snapped her fingers. "Oh! I've got it! I'll ask Sheriff Whipple! I'm sure he's a fun party friend."

Stone's face grew even more tense. "He's not a Sheriff! He's a total idiot!" he responded angrily. He was starting to get jealous.

Y/N mimicked Jess's rushed tone. "Anyways... I should go and start getting ready." she said, grinning sideways. She knew this conversation was driving Stone crazy.

After a second's pause, Stone angrily snatched the invitation from the counter and tore it to shreds. He was completely serious when he did it. "Okay. You win."

"I never doubted." she said, smiling as she approached Stone and gave his cheek a pinch.

Stone almost melted at her gesture. He gently grabbed her wrist and pulled her close. Without saying anything, he kissed her deeply and passionately. When their lips parted, Stone looked into Y/N's eyes. "I love you." he whispered sincerely. It was the first time.

Y/N's smile turned into a wide grin. "I know." she said.

That night, after everything was over, Stone sat down at his computer with complete seriousness. His hands were on the keyboard, his face had that familiar, focused expression as he looked at the blank screen. He wasn't aware that it was already past midnight.

Meanwhile, Y/N had already put on her pajamas and gotten into bed. She lay there for a few minutes, staring at the ceiling, wondering why Stone still hadn't come to the bedroom. She opened the covers, got out of bed and walked down the hallway. The light in his study room was on and the door was left ajar. Y/N stood at the doorway and looked inside.

"Aren't you comin' to bed?" she asked in a low voice.

Stone was startled by Y/N's voice. He turned his head and looked at her. "Oh! Um... You can sleep if you want, I'll come when I'm done."

Y/N approached the desk with curiosity. She leaned over and looked at the computer screen. "What are you working on?"

Stone put a hand on the back of his neck and rubbed it. "I sat down to write the monthly mission report to send to Walters, but I have nothing to write about." he grumbled with a bored expression. "I'm trying to think of something to make up."

"Hmm... That sounds boring."

"Kinda." Stone said, shrugging.

"Well..." Y/N said, straightening up again. Despite all the secret agent movies she'd watched, the work Stone was doing seemed so calm to her.

After a few silent seconds, she looked at Stone again and crossed her arms. "You know..." she said. "I've never seen you do any secret agent work."

Stone's expression was confused. "What do you mean?"

"I've never seen you go on secret missions or anything. Just like in the movies... Defeating hundreds of enemies all by yourself, stealing secret things, and stuff..."

Stone let out a small laugh at that. "What if I'm already on a secret mission and you just don't know that?"

Y/N rolled her eyes. "You don't even go to the cafe without telling me."

"Yeah, you've got a point." he said, laughing slightly.

Y/N continued to look at him with a questioning gaze. Stone knew she was waiting for a real explanation. He leaned back in his chair. "Actually... All this really is part of my mission. My mission assigned by Doctor Robotnik. I'm his agent, not G.U.N.'s. So technically, I am already on a secret mission." he explained.

Y/N wasn't satisfied with this answer; she already knew all that. "You know perfectly well that's not what I meant... Doesn't Walters or G.U.N. ever give you missions like that?"

Stone shrugged. "No. They actually never have." he replied. He thought for a moment, then looked into her eyes and asked her a question. "But if you want, we can go on a secret mission together. Just like in the movies. What do you say?"

Y/N's eyes lit up. "Yes!" she replied excitedly. Then she cleared her throat slightly and corrected herself. "I mean, why not..."

Stone winked at her reaction. "Get ready then, we're going on a mission."

Minutes later, Y/N was ready, dressed completely in black. She'd even made a mask for herself out of a scarf, covering everything from her eyes down. He was just about to put on his shoes when she came..

"I'm ready." she whispered.

Stone looked up at her. He pressed his lips together to keep from laughing. He stood up and approached her; they were less than a foot apart. He gently pulled the mask down from her face. "I don't think this is necessary." he said.

Even though they'd been together for so long, this closeness still made Y/N's heart flutter. "I don't want anyone to recognize me." she said, then pulled the mask back over her face. Her intention was to hide her cheeks, which were starting to feel hot.

"Who's going to recognize you?" Stone asked, raising one eyebrow.

"I don't know!" she quickly brushed it off. She had almost let it slip that Sonic might recognize her if they ran into him. But luckily, she had managed to brush it off. Stone couldn't understand Y/N's sudden reaction.

Their secret mission began with a short car ride to the Sheriff's house. The area around the house was silent. Only the sounds of owls could be heard in the distance. Y/N got out of the car excitedly and started to inspect the area around the house. Stone, smiling at her enthusiasm, followed her.

"Okay." Y/N said in a whisper. "What do we do now?"

Stone leaned into Y/N's ear. "We won't find anything here. We're just going to look inside and leave without finding anything."

Y/N rolled her eyes. "That's not how it works in the movies."

"That's why this isn't a movie, Y/N."

They both silently walked around the house and finally noticed that the attic window was open. Y/N excitedly pointed her finger at the window. "Should we go in through there?" she asked.

Stone nodded. The window bars were child's play for him. He quickly climbed up and slipped through the window. She followed right after him. The attic was like a child's room. There were toys, comic books, and a bed. Nothing gave any clues about Robotnik's disappearance. They both quietly examined the room but found nothing.

As they were going back down, Y/N had an idea. "Maybe we're looking in the wrong place..." she whispered.

Stone frowned and looked at her with a questioning gaze. "What do you mean?"

Y/N was filled with hesitation at first. She didn't know how to tell Stone this. "I... have to confess something." she said.

Stone stopped and turned to her. "What are you going to confess?"

Y/N took a deep breath. She had to take this risk. "Sonic... was living in a cave before he met the Sheriff."

The expression on Stone's face suddenly changed. "How do you know that?" he asked, his voice cold.

She avoided her gaze. "I met him.... After you bought the cafe from Karen and I started going out..." she explained. Her voice trembled. "He told me his side of his fights with my father."

Stone was completely frozen by Y/N's confession. The thought of Y/N meeting Sonic, /the Doctor's enemy/, hurt him deeply. His face became serious and he turned to Y/N. He didn't say anything, just looked into her eyes. Then, he turned and started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Stone stopped. "On our secret mission." he said, his voice still cold. "Where's the cave?"

After Stone's cold question, Y/N's surprise was replaced by determination. "I can take you there." she said, her voice soft. Stone didn't say anything, just nodded his head and followed her. For the time being, he preferred to remain silent and think about this later. This was the duo's second secret mission that night.

They got in the car in silence. Y/N got in the driver's seat and Stone sat beside her. As the car drove through the secluded parts of the town in the silence of the night, the silence between them was deafening. His gaze was fixed straight ahead; he hadn't turned to look at her even once.

Y/N was secretly blaming herself. For hiding things from Stone, for shaking the trust between them... Knowing that she had met his greatest enemy and gotten information from him must have felt like a betrayal to him. But Y/N had only been curious. But for Stone, it wasn't like that. For him, this was a crack in the heart of the person he loved most.

All along the way, Y/N opened her mouth to say something, to explain, but she gave up every time. Stone's silence was stopping her. It was as if Stone was saying, 'Let's not talk about this right now.'

Finally, the car slowed down and Y/N turned off the engine. In front of them, a cave entrance surrounded by massive rocks stood.

"We're here." Y/N whispered.

Stone got out of the car without saying anything and started to walk toward the cave entrance. Y/N followed him, her heart beating fast. The inside of the cave was dimmer and more mysterious than it had seemed in the daylight. Y/N took out her phone, turned on the flashlight and lit up the surroundings.

The cave was filled with Sonic's homemade items. An old television, a torn-up beanbag, a pile of comic books, and a few old boxes... Stone's eyes looked at this makeshift setup without any emotion on his face. She felt the need to explain again. "This... was his first hideout when he came to Earth."

Stone remained silent again. He walked deeper into the cave. Y/N followed him. She approached a box and looked inside; there were only a few old comic books and a dusty baseball. She shook her head in disappointment. "I guess... there's nothing here."

Y/N's voice got lost in the echoing silence of the cave. Stone looked at her again, but there was no expression on his face. Then, he started walking toward the cave entrance.

Y/N opened her mouth to say something. "Why? Why is there nothing?" she asked. Her voice was fragile and hopeless.

Stone stopped, but he didn't turn to Y/N. "Because this isn't a secret agent's lair. It was a kid's home." he said, his voice cold and clear.

Y/N's heart ached at Stone's words. Stone being so cold was a sign of how hurt he was. She didn't say anything. She just followed Stone and got into the car in silence.

On the way home, the silence between them was heavier than the silence in the cave. Y/N wanted to say something again to break Stone's silence, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Stone was only focused on the road. This silent night had left a deep mark on both of their hearts.

When they got home, they went inside in silence. Y/N went to the bathroom right away to change and got into bed. Stone also quietly got change and lay down next to her.

As they both lay on their backs under the covers, Y/N said one thing. Her voice was sad and tired. "I'm sorry."

Stone sighed deeply for a moment. And the sound of it was loud in the silence of the room. He didn't say anything, just continued to stare at the ceiling. Y/N almost wanted to cry at his silent reaction. But Stone knew how Y/N felt. He just needed time to process this. He preferred to talk about everything that had happened in the morning. However, he didn't tell this to her.

They lay there for minutes. They both silently stared at the ceiling. Even though they were so close to each other, it felt like there were miles between them. In the end, they both fell asleep, deep in thought.

~ Doctor's Plan ~

Agent Stone x (f) reader

Part ten {the masterlist}

Warnings: none

Word counts: 14.7k

Everything was different now... A few weeks had passed since Y/N's surprise birthday. The silver necklace Stone had given her sparkled on her neck. Y/N no longer felt the need to hide her feelings for Stone; on the contrary, she was enjoying this new closeness. The silence between them had been replaced by a sweet flirtatiousness and playful teasing. Y/N felt more comfortable and safe with Stone than ever before.

That evening, Y/N and Stone were getting ready for a movie night. The living room curtains were drawn and a dim lamp lit the space. While Y/N was making popcorn in the kitchen, Stone was arranging pillows on the couch, making the area comfortable for both of them.

Lost in her thoughts for a moment to the sound of popping corn, Y/N's fingers played with the necklace on her neck. It had become a habit, recently. An idea had been on her mind for a few days and she was determined to act on it now. "Que sera sera." she murmured to herself. After pouring the popcorn into a bowl, she called out to Stone.

"STONE?!" she yelled. Her voice was louder than usual. "STONE!"

Stone flinched at Y/N's sudden shout. He stopped filling the glasses on the coffee table with drinks and rushed to her side. There was a panicked look on his face. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I just need you to hold this." she said simply. She gently placed her tightly closed hand onto Stone's waiting open hand, then quickly intertwined her fingers with his.

Stone's eyes widened in surprise. Everything had happened so suddenly and so fast. His heart started beating rapidly. He looked at Y/N's hand, then her face. "This is your hand." he murmured, his voice thick with shock.

"Yeap." Y/N said confidently. She lifted their tightly clasped hands and gave a slight smirk. "One of us had to make the first move."

Stone didn't know what to say. He couldn't believe that his feelings had been mutual all this time. He first looked at Y/N's hand and smiled in amazement, then looked at Y/N's face, and then back at their hands. Their fingers were intertwined so perfectly, as if they had always belonged there.

Y/N found Stone's reaction incredibly sweet. She gave him a loving look, her eyes shining. In that moment, Stone felt the trust and closeness Y/N had for him. The moment he had been waiting for months had arrived. He no longer had to hide anything.

He couldn't help himself and moved to kiss her. Just then, Y/N pulled back slightly and stopped him. She wanted their relationship to progress slowly but surely. "Easy..." she said, winking. Her voice was both flirty and a warning. "Everything has its time."

Stone immediately understood Y/N's warning. He nodded with a smile. In that moment, he knew Y/N had taken this step not to push him away, but to make their bond even more special.

They chose an action movie that neither of them had seen before. While watching the movie, Stone's fingers gently stroked Y/N's, as if to remind her of her brave move. Actually, neither of them cared about the movie they were watching. They were finally living the moment they had been waiting for and enjoying it. This beginning was more than enough.

The next morning, after finishing her usual chores, Y/N was walking to the cafe. On the way, Crazy Carl ran into her, with his usual messy hair and worried eyes. Carl looked like he had been waiting for a while.

"Y/N!" Carl called out, his voice as panicked as ever. "I knew you'd come! I knew your soul would draw me here!"

Y/N smiled. "Morning, Carl. What did you find this time?"

Carl came up to Y/N and handed her an old, worn-out map. The paper was yellowed and the lines and symbols on it were almost faded. It looked serious, not like a product of Carl's imagination.

"This isn't a map, Y/N! This is a riddle! It belongs to the 'Whispering Cave' in the heart of Green Hills. The legend says only the bravest and purest souls can solve its secret. I couldn't try, you know... My soul is corrupted; they corrupted it!" he explained. His voice was full of mystery. Carl looked into Y/N's eyes. "You have to solve this riddle. And don't you dare go alone... You need to have someone you trust with you!"

Y/N took the map and examined it with curiosity. Carl's words, unlike his usual craziness, sounded more meaningful. Although the symbols on the map were unfamiliar to her, it was clear that it held a mystery. There was only one person on her mind: Stone. She was sure that embarking on this adventure with him would be both fun and reassuring.

"Thanks... I think." she said, her eyes still on the map. "I'll let you know if I find anything."

"Be careful!" Carl said and quietly walked away.

Y/N folded the map and put it in her pocket, then continued on her way. She made a mental note to show the map to Stone that evening and tell him about Carl's strange offer.

That evening, after closing the cafe doors, Y/N and Stone started their walk home. As usual, during their quiet journey, Stone held Y/N's hand with a smile on his face. Although there was no big difference in their public image, this was a huge change for them. And it definitely wasn't an act.

After dinner and the cat-petting session were over, they went to the living room. Before Stone sat down on the couch, Y/N turned to him, the seriousness on her face immediately catching his attention.

"Stone." she said, her voice soft but determined. "I need to show you something."

Y/N spread the old map Carl had given her that morning on top of the messy books and comics on the coffee table. The crumpled paper looked even more mysterious in the dim light of the lamp. Stone sat down next to her, his eyes immediately fixed on the strange symbols on the map.

"What's this?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowed in curiosity. The map showed one of the hills in Green Hills, with the words 'Whispering Cave' written underneath. "It doesn't look like it's from a comic book."

Y/N smiled slightly. "It isn't. This is something Crazy Carl gave me. He said it wasn't a map, but a riddle. And that only the purest souls could solve it." she said, and continued her explanation. "Carl also said I shouldn't go alone." she added. She let go of the map and held Stone's hands. Their fingers intertwined perfectly once again. "I need to have... someone I trust with me."

Y/N's eyes locked with Stone's. Stone's heart stopped for a moment. He deeply felt the pure trust and love he saw in Y/N's eyes. For a man who had lived for years alone, trusting no one but the Doctor, the woman he loved telling him, 'you're the one I trust.' was priceless. The mystery of the map became insignificant compared to this trust Y/N had in him.

Seeing the surprised but thoughtful expression on Stone's face, Y/N understood that he was thinking deeply about the situation. "So... what do you say?" she asked, curious.

Stone held Y/N's hands tighter. "First of all, I trust you, too." he said, his voice soft. "And secondly, no matter what, let's jump on this adventure together."

A big, genuine smile appeared on Y/N's face. She knew that with Stone by her side, this adventure wouldn't be scary at all; it would be one of the most unforgettable memories of her life. Two hearts were ready to take a step together toward a new adventure, outside the known paths of Green Hills.

The next morning, a peaceful atmosphere prevailed over Green Hills. Stone, instead of getting up early and going to the cafe as usual, had put a simple but clear note on the door: 'Closed for cleaning today.'

The familiar feeling inside him told him that this journey he was on with Y/N was much more important than a day's work. Then he locked the door and walked to the car.

Y/N, with a small backpack in her hand, was already sitting in the passenger seat of the car. Her eyes were sparkling. Seeing Stone approach, she waved excitedly. "I didn't think you'd close the cafe for this." she said, smiling.

Stone opened the door and got into the driver's seat. He gently placed one hand on Y/N's cheek. "Some things are more important than a cup of coffee." he replied, a sincere smile on his face.

The warmth of the hand on her cheek and what she felt inside made Y/N blush. If the whole day were to pass just like that, she wouldn't even care about the adventure. Still, a part of her was curious. As she always did when she was embarrassed, she changed the subject. "Shall we go now? I promised Sylvester we'd be home by evening."

Stone smiled widely, pulled his hand back, and turned the key. "Of course."

They started driving toward the location on the map, heading into the unknown. They still had a long way to go. Stone noticed a small kiosk ahead. "Are you hungry?" he asked, breaking the silence.

Y/N pointed to her backpack. "Absolutely! I made us some sandwiches. And there are some cookies, too." she replied. "We can have a little picnic as soon as we get there. And then we can start solving the mystery. What do you think?"

"Looks like you've already made the whole plan." Stone said, laughing. "I'm in."

After a thirty-minute drive, they reached the wooded area of Green Hills. The spot on the map was a steep hill at the end of a road, a place not often visited. They parked the car on the side of the road, grabbed their backpacks, and started walking. As the fresh forest air filled her lungs, Y/N's excitement for the adventure grew.

When they reached the hillside, they found a small clearing hidden among the trees. Here, there were a few marks similar to the symbols on the map. Y/N immediately sat down, opened her bag and took out the sandwiches. Stone started examining the map again. They had a picnic that they both enjoyed in silence. After the sandwiches were gone, it was time to focus on the real task.

Y/N picked up the map. "Look." she said, pointing to a symbol with her finger. "This must be pointing to this place. The symbol on the map and the symbol on this rock are the same."

Stone came closer and examined it carefully. "You're right. But this symbol is also like a riddle. It's as if... it wants us to do something."

While Y/N was examining the symbol on the map, she suddenly noticed something. The symbol looked like a star, but its edges were irregular. "Even though this looks like a star, it's not exactly a star." she said. "It's more like... the shape of a handful of rocks."

Y/N took a few small rocks from the ground and started arranging them, trying to make them look like the symbol on the map. Stone joined her.

After a few attempts, when Y/N placed her hands on the rocks, something unexpected happened. A slight tremor came from under the ground, and the rock formation in front of them slowly split in two, revealing a narrow passage. A gentle breeze blew from inside the passage, almost like a whisper. The name 'Whispering Cave' now made sense.

Y/N and Stone looked at each other in surprise. Crazy Carl's words were true. This really was a riddle. And they had solved it. A wave of excitement rose inside them as they prepared to take their first steps into the dark and mysterious cave...

Although the cave entrance was narrow, it widened as they went inside. Y/N held Stone's hand. Hand in hand, they were walking into the unknown. The cave walls were damp and cold, and a light breeze from inside brushed against their faces. Y/N's free hand unconsciously went to the necklace on her neck. As her fingers gently glided over the pearl on the necklace, Stone was looking at her. Stone was pleased that Y/N had such a bond with the gift he had given her. His heart was filled with an indescribable warmth. A lot had actually happened between them since that day. While Stone had been planning to take the first step, ready to risk everything, Y/N had beaten him to it. They hadn't talked about what had happened. Frankly, they didn't feel the need to; they were both aware of what was going on and things were progressing as they both wanted.

Stone's fingers, holding Y/N's hand, seemed to be stroking her hand on their own. Y/N's willingness to go with the flow and trust him deeply affected Stone. Stone was loyal to Dr. Robotnik, he had chosen to work with him. But this was different. Everything with Y/N began with a pure feeling and a sincere desire, rather than an order or a duty. With love... This path he was on with Y/N was good for both his soul and his heart. Stone felt like he had found a sanctuary for the first time. And he knew he had found that sanctuary in Y/N's hand.

Deep inside the cave, they reached a large, domed clearing. In the center, there was a small, crystal lake whose waters shone as if emitting their own light. On the edge of the lake stood a flat piece of rock, and on it, there was an engraving identical to the symbol on the map.

As Stone examined the carving, he noticed something. He took a small robot from his pocket. When he brought the robot close to the carving, a complex algorithm appeared on the screen and began to run. As Y/N watched in surprise, Stone used the device to activate a rough surface that looked like a button or a switch on the edge of the carving.

At that moment, the cave began to tremble. The waters of the crystal lake glowed even brighter, and the symbols on the ceiling began to light up one by one. A beam of light streamed from a crack in the ceiling, shining directly on Y/N and Stone. Within the light, a few words written in an ancient language appeared, suspended in the air. Stone extended a tiny robot he had brought with him, one Y/N hadn't seen before, to the place where the text was. The robot scanned the writing in seconds and sent the translation to Stone's device.

Stone read the text that appeared on the screen. "Do not fear, you are not alone. Trust is the beginning of the path."

He had a surprised look on his face. These words seemed to have been carefully chosen just for the two of them. The light slowly faded, the symbols disappeared, and the cave returned to its former silence. A small, moss-covered, round stone piece unexpectedly came out of the carving and fell into Y/N's hands. Y/N examined the stone in her palm. Although it was less adventurous than she had expected, at least her curiosity had been sated. "I guess we should give this back to Crazy Carl." she said.

Stone nodded. The cave no longer seemed to hold any secrets. Y/N put the rock in her pocket and walked with Stone toward the exit of the cave. The sun was about to set when they came outside. The landscape was like a painting, with a dance of orange and purple colors.

"It wasn't as satisfying as I thought, but the view is." she said when she saw the view. Then she sat down where she was and gently tapped the ground, signaling for him to sit down as well.

Y/N silently watched the view, as if mesmerized. Stone, on the other hand, was watching Y/N instead of the view. The warm light of the sun hitting Y/N's face had slightly reddened her cheeks and made the sparkle in her eyes even more noticeable. Stone wished this moment could last forever.

He couldn't resist and moved closer to Y/N. He placed his hand on Y/N's cheek and gently stroked it. Y/N flinched at the unexpected touch but didn't pull away. Her eyes locked with Stone's. There was an even more intense electricity between them than at the first moment they held hands. Y/N's heart was beating fast.

Stone slowly leaned toward Y/N. She had closed her eyes. Stone's lips lightly touched Y/N's. The kiss wasn't rushed; it was a gentle, sincere and emotional beginning. Y/N felt the warmth radiating from Stone's lips. This was not just a kiss, but a symbol of two lonely souls finally finding each other. When the kiss ended, Y/N opened her eyes and saw a sense of peace and happiness in Stone's eyes that she had never seen before. They were both captivated by the magic of the moment.

"This... was better than I expected." Y/N whispered, licking her lips.

Stone smiled and took Y/N's hand. "Same as mine."

Walking back to the car, the sun had completely set. Y/N still hadn't let go of Stone's hand. Even after they got into the car, their hands remained joined on the armrest. They were silent throughout the drive, but the silence was full. They both wondered how they had grown so close to each other in such a short time.

By the time they got home, it was late. They were both tired, but more than fatigue, they were filled with an indescribable happiness. They opened the door and went inside. Y/N, as usual, headed towards the bedroom to get her pillow and blanket to sleep in the living room. Just as she passed the doorway, she heard Stone's voice.

"Y/N?"

She suddenly stopped and turned around. Stone was standing in the doorway, his face as expressionless as ever, but his eyes held a warm gaze. "You can sleep in here. With me... You don't have to sleep on the couch." he said. His voice came out as a whisper on the last sentence.

Y/N paused for a moment. This offer meant a lot coming from Stone. This wasn't just an offer to sleep, it was an invitation. Y/N smiled. "Stone." she said, her voice was soft. "I know. And I also know that if I had wanted to, I would've been sleeping in here, in the bed, since the day one."

The slight smile on Stone's face froze. Y/N's words had once again reminded him of how determined and self-assured she was. This sentence showed that Y/N not only trusted Stone but that every step between them was taken with her consent. After a moment of surprise, Stone slowly smiled. Y/N's sincere and brave demeanor had affected him even more.

"You're right." Stone said, his voice heartfelt. "But I... still wanted to ask."

Y/N walked closer to him and placed her hand on Stone's shoulder. "I'm glad you asked." she said. Y/N's eyes were locked with Stone's. "Because I was waiting for this moment, too."

This confession from Y/N dispelled all the worries that had built up inside Stone. "To be honest, for a moment I was afraid your answer would be 'no'." he said, laughing nervously.

Y/N felt her heart melt at Stone's unexpected admission. She took his hand and gently kissed his palm. "You don't have to be afraid anymore." she whispered.

Part nine {the masterlist}

Warnings: none

About a week had passed since Y/N's illness. Her fever had completely subsided, and her body had regained its old energy. However, that day's incident of getting soaked in the rain and the moments they shared afterward had permanently changed the atmosphere between them. It was as if an invisible curtain had fallen between them. This curtain separated them from the outside world while creating a different bond between the two.

Days flowed by with small training sessions with Stone and helping each other out at the cafe. Y/N tried to appear cheerful and energetic as usual, but deep down, something had changed. When she met Stone's eyes, that meaningful silence lingered. This silence used to feel awkward, but now it held a strange comfort. Yet, for Y/N, this comfort also whispered a hard truth: her feelings for Stone had grown stronger with each passing day. Even though she tried to ignore this, to act as if 'nothing had happened' , this new weight was felt in every movement, every word.

Stone was also aware of this new dynamic. He felt Y/N was avoiding him more, but he met it with a gentle silence. Perhaps he was giving  Y/N space, giving her time to figure out what was happening within herself. During morning breakfasts, even though Y/N cracked jokes and laughed as usual, Stone noticed that momentary hesitation in her eyes. While training together, even Y/N's determination when throwing punches softened with those fleeting glances. Stone preferred to observe this change in Y/N; sometimes silently, as if sharing a secret, and sometimes with a heartfelt smile. This situation had created a communication between them beyond words. She had a unique harmony of the ordinary and the extraordinary.

It was the start of just such an ordinary, quietly flowing morning. There was a flurry of breakfast activity in the kitchen. While Stone prepared an omelet, Y/N held Sylvester in her lap, stroking his paws. The cat meowed and began licking Y/N's hand.

"Come on, give mommy a birthday kiss." she said tenderly, kissing the cat's tiny nose. A bitter smile played on her lips. She repeated this sentence every year on this morning, at times when she was sure no one would hear.

Stone stopped flipping the omelet and turned his head over his shoulder towards them. His spoon hung suspended in his hand. He looked at Y/N with a curious expression. "Who... Whose birthday?"

Y/N's smile faded. She'd been caught and looked away. "Mine." she murmured, her voice almost inaudible.

The curiosity on Stone's face immediately turned into joyous excitement. He turned off the omelet and approached the table with the pan in his hand.

"Oh! Well, happy birthday then!" he said cheerfully. "Why didn't you say something sooner? We should celebrate this tonight! We'll do something wonderful." he added. His eyes sparkled, already planning the celebration in his head.

Y/N slowly put Sylvester down on the floor. A sad shadow seemed to fall across her face. "Thanks, Stone." she said quietly. "But there's no need. I haven't celebrated my birthdays for a while."

Stone's joy suddenly faded. His brow furrowed slightly. "Why?"

Y/N's eyes drifted, gazing out the kitchen window at the sky, as if expecting someone to appear from there...

Words caught in her throat; there was a bitter sadness within her. "Because... today is also the day I lost my mother." she could only manage.

All expression vanished from Stone's face. He felt an indescribable pain in his heart. "I... I didn't know." he said, his voice almost a whisper. A deep regret settled on his face. "I'm sorry. Really, Y/N, I'm so sorry." he added immediately. The thought of offering to celebrate Y/N's birthday without knowing the true pain behind it deeply shook him.

Y/N shook her head slightly. "It's okay. It's not your fault. I haven't celebrated for years, I got used to it..." she said, shrugging. But the tremor in her voice and the sadness in her eyes whispered that the pain of her loss had never truly faded.

Stone looked at Y/N, his lips slightly parted, but he couldn't find a word to say. The thought of Y/N coping with such great pain alone for years tightened his heart. He slowly sat into his chair. This time, the silence in the room was mournful.

That day, the cafe operated as usual. Stone hadn't brought up the birthday topic again. Y/N was grateful for Stone's sensitivity; at least he wasn't pressing her on this. In the afternoon, during one of the cafe's busiest hours, Stone took off his apron and turned to Y/N.

"I need to get a few things for the cafe. Can you manage here?" he asked. "It won't take long."

Y/N nodded. "Sure, no problem. There's not much left to do anyway."

Stone looked at Y/N one last time, a hidden sparkle in his eyes. "Great. I'll be right back." he replied. He grabbed his jacket and quickly left the cafe. Although Y/N was surprised by Stone's haste, she shrugged and focused on the remaining tasks.

As soon as Stone left the cafe, his steps led him to Green Hills' small, charming jewelry store. When he entered, an old, cheerful man greeted him. The shop was filled with glittering necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

"Can I help you, young man?" the old shop owner asked, looking at Stone over his glasses.

Stone smiled slightly. "Yes, actually... I'm looking for a necklace."

The man's eyes narrowed mischievously. "For someone special?"

A warm smile spread across Stone's face. He thought of Y/N's laughing face and her sad eyes from that morning. "Yes." he said, his voice confident and sincere. "Someone special."

The old man smiled. "I see. Then let me show you something special." he said, and he pulled out a small, wooden box from under the counter. When he opened the box, a delicate, openable oyster shell necklace appeared, hanging from a silver chain. Inside the shell was a tiny, shining pearl.

"This necklace is for those who carry a hidden secret within." the old man said, gently handing the necklace to Stone. "Even though the pearl is closed off from the outside of the shell, it carries its own light within; just like some people carry that unique sparkle inside them, perhaps hidden from everyone. And when the shell opens, that sparkle emerges in all its beauty."

Stone took the necklace. He felt the cold silver on his fingertips. The meaning of the necklace perfectly aligned with Y/N's hidden beauty. Closed off to the outside but carrying an invaluable worth within. This was perhaps the most fitting way to celebrate Y/N's birthday; to remind her of her uniqueness and value that no one else saw, but Stone had noticed. "I'll take this." Stone said, a determined look in his eyes.

After getting the necklace, Stone's next stops were Green Hills' small pastry shop and a party supply store. He deliberately avoided anything extravagant. He knew very well that Y/N didn't like such flashy things, especially considering the meaning of today. His goal was to create a peaceful and intimate atmosphere. He bought a small cake, a few plain balloons, and battery-operated candles that would create dim light. The scene he envisioned in his mind was a birthday moment that would make Y/N feel valued, but without putting pressure on her.

After completing his shopping, he quickly returned home. When he stepped through the door, Sylvester greeted him with his usual indifferent meow. Stone quickly got to work. He hurriedly inflated the balloons and released a few to the ceiling, securing others to the armrests of the couch. He placed the candles on the coffee table in the living room and carefully hid the cake on the kitchen counter. Everything looked simple but meaningful. Now all he had to do was put Sylvester in the bedroom so he wouldn't mess things up.

After his final check, he hurried back to the cafe. He felt both the excitement of surprising Y/N and a slight nervousness about her reaction.

When he returned to the cafe, he saw Y/N, tired but focused on her work. She smiled faintly when she noticed Stone was back. "You came back quickly." she said.

"Things went well." Stone replied, a mysterious smile on his face. The remaining few hours passed as usual with work and some ordinary conversation. Y/N felt the fatigue of the day beginning to settle upon her. Finally, when it was closing time, Stone was doing the final cleaning while Y/N slumped into one of the chairs.

"Shall we go home now? I'm tired." Y/N said, yawning.

"Of course." he replied, putting down what he was doing. He smiled at her. "Let's go."

Together, they walked through the streets of Green Hills. It was getting dark and the streetlights illuminated the asphalt. Stone's excitement had reached its peak. When they reached the door of the house, he let Y/N open it. Y/N put the key in the lock, turned it and pushed the door open slightly.

As she stepped inside, her eyes were dazzled by the dim but warm light in the living room. A few balloons floating on the ceiling, the flickering light of battery-operated candles on the coffee table and the general atmosphere caught Y/N completely off guard. The room was decorated simply but thoughtfully. Y/N's pupils widened, her breath caught. She hadn't expected it. She had never expected it.

Stone watched Y/N's surprised expression. Questions were already spinning at his mind; what if she had misunderstood, what if Y/N became even sadder?

But the surprise and slight moistness sparkling in Y/Ny's eyes whispered to Stone that he was on the right track.

"I..." Y/N murmured, words caught in her throat. Her heart was pounding. In that moment, in Stone's silent gaze, she understood how important it was to celebrate the existence of her birthday, even amidst the pain of her mother's death. Stone wasn't trying to make her forget this special day; on the contrary, he was reminding her that life was worth celebrating even within its sorrow. A few tears streamed from her eyes, but these were not tears of sadness but of gratitude and being touched. Her heart overflowed because she had never expected such warmth, never imagined someone would care for her so deeply.

Stone first opened the bedroom door for Sylvester to come out. Without bothering with the cat that darted out as soon as the door opened, he slowly moved towards the kitchen and returned to the living room with a small cake with a single candle lit on it. He extended the cake towards Y/N. "Happy birthday, Y/N." he said, his voice soft, almost a whisper. "Maybe it's not a big party, but... I hope you like it."

Y/N's eyes welled up. She lifted her head and looked at Stone. There was gratitude, surprise and an indescribable affection in her eyes. For the first time, on one of her motherless birthdays, she didn't feel alone. The heavy burden in her heart seemed to lighten.

In the candlelight, they shared the cake. Y/N felt Stone's effort and thoughtfulness in every bite. Their conversations were quieter than usual but more meaningful. Y/N's sad memory merged with this special moment they shared.

After a while, Y/N sighed softly. Her gaze drifted over the flickering light of the candles on the coffee table, then she turned to Stone with gratitude. "Thank you so much for everything, Stone." she said. A small, shy smile appeared on her lips. Then, with a sudden decision, her voice rose hesitantly but resolutely: "Aban." she corrected herself, but this correction was only a beginning.

Stone's gaze flinched slightly. His eyebrows rose, as if he hadn't expected Y/N to utter his first name. He brought a hand to the back of his neck, this gesture revealing his usual nervousness. "It was my pleasure. And please, just call me Stone."

Y/N raised an eyebrow, confused. Stone's request surprised her. "But why? Isn't that your first name?"

Stone slowly took a breath. His eyes drifted to the darkness outside the window, as if his own past was hidden in that darkness. His voice was low, slightly tense. "I don't really know. I'm an orphan, I grew up in an orphanage. When they found me, I only had a bracelet on my wrist that said 'baby Stone'. I didn't have anything else... So the people at the orphanage decided to give me a first name. But I don't really use that name." he explained. With every word he spoke, he revealed another piece of himself.

Y/N's eyes widened in surprise. She realized she knew almost nothing about Stone's past. This was the first thing Stone had said about himself in all this time. Y/N was both surprised and touched to feel Stone's sensitivity and vulnerability so closely. She giggled softly, but it was a genuine -not mocking- giggle. "Wow..." she whispered. "And I have to say, Stone suits you more than Aban. I mean it." she said. There was genuine approval in her voice.

A deep smile, illuminated by Y/N's words, appeared on Stone's lips. His eyes were locked on Y/N's sparkling eyes. The tension on his face had completely dissipated, replaced by an unshakable peace. "Thank you, Y/N." he said, his voice low, but full of emotion. He just looked at Y/N silently. The bond between them had once again been elevated to a dimension beyond words.

A thought still unsettled Stone. On such a special day, he hadn't yet given her his real surprise, the necklace. Now was the perfect time.

"There's something else." he murmured, his voice almost inaudible. He slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, leather box. There was a slight hesitation on his face as he offered it to Y/N. "For your birthday... for you."

Y/N looked at the box in surprise, then at Stone. There was that familiar astonishment in her eyes. She hadn't expected a gift, just as she hadn't expected her birthday to be celebrated.

She slowly took the box and lifted the lid. Inside, hanging from a silver chain, was a delicate oyster shell necklace. Y/N gently took the necklace out of the box, the chain dangling slightly between her fingers.

"This..." Y/N whispered, her voice filled with admiration. The simple yet elegant beauty of the necklace captivated her. "Is beautiful, Stone. But you really didn't have to."

Stone looked into Y/N's eyes. There was neither explanation nor pressure in his gaze; just pure emotion, a desire to be understood. "I think... this necklace is just like you, Y/N." he said calmly, his voice a slight whisper.

Y/N frowned slightly. She looked at the necklace first, then at Stone. She searched Stone's face for any hint but found none. She slowly opened the necklace's small oyster shell. The tiny, bright pearl inside glowed even in the dim light. It was as if it was radiating its own light from within. She looked at the necklace again. The outside of the shell was a bit rough, sometimes closed... Just like her, distant, tough and sometimes building walls against the outside world. But inside, like that pearl, it carried an invaluable worth, a sparkle, a beauty. And the existence of this pearl was defined not by the shell that enclosed it, but by the light that emerged when it opened. Just as Stone didn't look at her exterior, but at her interior, seeing what was hidden within.

Y/N's eyes began to fill, this time more intensely than the previous tears of gratitude. These were tears of understanding, of being seen, of unconditional acceptance. In a world where no one bothered to delve so deeply, Stone had seemingly seen her deepest secret, her most hidden sparkle. Though her eyes were teary, she tried to put the necklace around her neck with a faint smile on her face, but her trembling hands couldn't manage it.

Stone silently reached out, took the necklace from Y/N's hand, and gently placed it around her neck. When the cold metal of the necklace touched Y/N's warm skin, one thing became certain for her; she would never take this necklace off. Y/N brought her hands to the necklace, feeling the small pearl with her fingertips.

She looked up at Stone. "How does it look? Does it suit me?" she asked, her voice, like her eyes, full of expectation.

A heartfelt smile spread across Stone's face. "Looks wonderful." he replied. His eyes moved from the necklace on Y/N's neck to her shining eyes.

Y/N giggled softly, the sadness in her heart lightened, replaced by genuine happiness. For the first time in years, she felt like she had truly celebrated her birthday. "Thank you, Stone. Really..."

Stone tilted his head slightly and just smiled.

Part eight {the masterlist}

Warnings: none

Word count: 19.4k

Rain clouds hadn't left from the tops of Green Hills all week. This was a weather pattern the town wasn't accustomed to these months. It was as if the sky itself reflected the storm brewing inside Y/N.  In the grey, damp early hours of the morning, Y/N had surrendered herself to the embrace of silence and cold, simply to escape the oppressive feelings. Dressed in a black and white striped t-shirt, a raincoat and boots, she moved like a ghost along the path. Every step she took was like a question mark buried in the ground. Lately, she had needed more time alone with her feelings and thoughts. Especially at night. Her dreams had turned into nightmares, constantly struggling with horrifying scenarios where she somehow lost Stone.

The nightmare she had that night, in the early hours of the morning, was much heavier than the others. Even after she opened her eyes, the tightness in her chest hadn't eased. She found herself on the edge of the cliff, watching Stone slip away from her grasp. She reached out helplessly, fingertips touching but she couldn't hold him. And even worse, at that moment, she still couldn't admit to herself or to him what she had been feeling all this time.

Yes, she had some feelings but most importantly, she needed to name these complex feelings. These thoughts had wrapped around her mind like a spiderweb ever since the night after that gathering. She slowed her steps, stopping at the rustle of wet leaves. As the cold air filled her lungs, she had to find an answer to these questions now. She took a deep breath and slowly lifted her head towards the sky. When she closed her eyes, cold raindrops ran down her cheeks, merging with her tears. The coolness on her skin couldn't quench the fire inside her, not even a little.

"Are you feeling something because there's no one else in your life, Y/N?" This harsh voice echoed from the depths of her brain. She frowned and shook her head quickly. She immediately pushed away this thought from her mind. Because Y/N knew herself, perhaps better than anyone. All her life, she had, in some ways, played a part. When she was with her friends and students, she always tried to be more helpful, more understanding, more 'expected.' A part of her was always afraid that if she was truly herself, she wouldn't be loved, she would lose.

But with Stone, things were different. With him, she wasn't afraid to be herself; for the first time in her life, she truly felt like herself. It was like breathing for her, natural and inevitable.

Stone's unique, heartfelt smile appeared before her closed eyes. It was as if the sun had come out, the clouds had dispersed. After a momentary pause, a single word echoed in her mind: 'love.' In this adventure that she embarked on to protect her life and seek a little difference, falling in love was something she never expected. Falling in love with someone with whom she could be herself, someone with whom she could let all her walls down.

When she slowly opened her eyes, a bittersweet yet determined smile appeared on her lips. She had finally accepted it. Now she wouldn't have to struggle with the reality of her feelings and naming them. That heavy burden on her shoulders had lifted. Now, all that remained was to wait and observe him. Maybe Stone was going through a similar journey. Maybe...

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Sylvester immediately headed towards the door with full of curiosity. Y/N came back soaking wet. The cat began to lick the water dripping from Y/N but a few drops fell on his head and he quickly ran away.

Trying not to wake Stone, she immediately rushed to the bathroom. She was starting to get cold. "I hope I don't get sick..." she muttered to herself.

A nice, warm shower had done her good. Then she quietly went to the kitchen; she was going to make waffles for breakfast.

Stone opened his eyes to the sound of his alarm. He stretched for a few seconds where he was before getting out of bed. Even though he went to bed late, he felt rested. After quickly changing, he left the room; delicious smells were coming from the kitchen and he smiled with satisfaction. When he entered, Y/N was humming a song, setting what she had prepared on the table.

"Wow! How did you know I was craving waffles?" Stone asked with a laugh.

She placed the last glass on the table. She squinted her eyes, wiggling the fingers of one hand as if performing magic. "I can read minds." she said, changing her voice.

Then both of them burst out laughing. "Come on. Don't let them get cold."

Stone settled into his seat with pleasure. "I guess you're in a quite good mood today." he observed.

Y/N didn't answer, just tilted her head slightly with a subtle smile on her lips. She couldn't tell him that a great burden had been lifted from her shoulders, because he would surely question why.

Stone enjoyed his waffles, his mouth seemingly having a feast. He also watched Y/N, who looked quite tired, give something from the table to Sylvester. He thought the reason for her tiredness was her busy schedule during the day. They had defense training every other day, she came to the cafe almost every day to help him and she also helped with chores around the house.

When they finished breakfast, Y/N attempted to clear the table but Stone stopped her. "I'll handle it. You can rest a bit if you want." he said.

"I'm not tired." Y/N replied. Did she look tired? She didn't think so. At most, she was sleepless.

"Are you sure?" Stone asked, raising an eyebrow. "The circles under your eyes don't seem to agree..."

"Yes! Why? What are you implying?"

"Nothing. I just thought maybe coming to help at the cafe during the day might have tired you out..." he explained.

Y/N leaned back and crossed her arms in front of her. "I'm perfectly fine. In fact, I have enough energy to go on a world tour right now, you'd be surprised." she said confidently.

"Alright..." Stone replied, smiling slightly.

Despite Y/N's objections, Stone quickly cleared the table by himself. And his time to leave for work was approaching. He chose not to take an umbrella, being deceived by the morning rain having stopped.

Y/N accompanied Stone to the door but at that moment, an awkward pause had fallen between them. Both wanted to hug each other at that moment but didn't dare. Neither made the first move, just stood there blankly.

Sylvester, by the front door, was winding around Stone's feet, as if trying to convince Stone to take him with him. The cat was doing what they couldn't.

Stone bent down, stroked the cat's chin. "See you tonight, little one." he said, straightening up again.

Y/N picked up Sylvester and held him in her arms to keep him from bothering Stone. After that, Stone went outside and closed the door behind him.

On one side of the door was Stone, on the other was Y/N, both sighing at the same time while looking at the door. Unbeknownst to each other, not being able to hug had left a longing in both of them.

Later in the day, Y/N was examining one of the badniks Stone was about to complete in his office room. As she glanced at the codes on the computer for the badnik in front of her, she sensed a difference. She sat down at Stone's computer, which he had left on the table. Yes, something was definitely not right with the codes.

She fixed a few problematic codes that Stone might not even have been aware of yet. Then she added a few new features. Based on its possible reactions, some unique emojis would appear on its screens. She was good at coding, if not the mechanical part. Y/N smirked to herself. This small change she made to the badnik would definitely please Stone.

After less than two hours of work, she got up from her seat and left the room, locking the door to prevent Sylvester from entering. She was going to go to the cafe and tell Stone what she had done. As she put on her jacket, she looked out the window; it wasn't raining. She put on her shoes, took only her phone and left the house. She locked the door from the panel next to the main entrance and left the building.

When Y/N entered the cafe, she was met with a dense crowd. When Stone noticed her arrival, there was an expression of satisfaction in his eyes. A little help would be good.

"I haven't seen this place so crowded in a long time." Y/N said, stepping behind the counter.

"People love sharing photos of books and coffee in the rain."

Y/N rolled her eyes. "Cliché."

"Absolutely..."

While helping Stone, she momentarily forgot why she had come there. While she took orders, Stone prepared the coffees.

The next few hours passed quite intensely. As closing time approached, the crowd began to thin out. Stone had opened a soda for himself and Y/N, and they were sitting opposite each other at a table near the counter. Both looked exhausted but were happy to spend time together.

"Actually, the reason I came here was to tell you something." Y/N began. "But there was never an opportunity because of the crowd."

Stone began to get curious. Dozens of scenarios ran through his mind, but he set them all aside. "Oh? What was it?" he asked.

"I solved the problem with that badnik you're trying to bring back to life."

Stone raised an eyebrow, looking at her. "It had a problem?" he asked.

"Yes! I figured you wouldn't even be aware of it." she said, grinning. "And I also added a feature. The badnik will be able to display unique emojis on its screen based on its current situation."

Stone's eyes widened in admiration. He was impressed by her contributions and couldn't wait to go home and see it. "Wow, Y/N! What you did is really amazing!" he reacted with delight. "You have an incredible perspective on creating things, just like your father."

Y/N inexplicably perceived Stone's compliment as a comparison. Her face fell, and her voice tightened. "Why do you constantly have to make a reference to him? Even though you know I try to avoid being like him?" she reacted angrily. The phrase 'just like your father' in Stone's words had taken her back to the past and triggered something within her.

Stone was looking at her in shock. He had never considered that his words might hurt her. His intention was absolutely not that. Hurting her was the last thing he wanted to do. "No, Y/N, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I just-"

"I don't wanna hear!" she cut him off. She abruptly got up and stormed out of the cafe.

She hadn't gone far when it started to drizzle again. As the newly dried roads became wet again, Y/N's steps quickened. She was angry and the adrenaline in her veins prevented her from thinking clearly.

When she reached the apartment building in a short time, she put her hand in her jacket pocket. Her key wasn't with her. "Damn it!" she muttered to herself. As she turned back towards the cafe, the rain intensified. "This is the last thing I needed!" she muttered again. As she got soaking wet in the rain, thoughts poured into her mind. Yes, she was angry. Angry at her father... Angry at her mother... Angry at herself... But she had directed this anger at the wrong person.

When she reached the cafe, she saw Stone about to lock the door. His back was turned.

"I forgot the keys." she said in a dry voice.

He looked at her over his shoulder. His gaze was worried. "Oh... You're soaking wet!"

"No shit Sherlock. I didn't notice." she replied sarcastically.

Stone only rolled his eyes at that. As he put the key back in the lock to go inside, Y/N stopped him. There was a calmness in her voice.

"You don't have to reopen, just give me the keys." she said, then closed her eyes for a few seconds. "I wanna go home."

Stone froze for a moment. Because Y/N had never called his house 'home' before. A faint, fleeting smile appeared on his face. But Y/N hadn't seen it. "Alright then." he said, gesturing the way with one hand.

As they walked in the rain together, Y/N watched him from the side. "I know, I overreacted. I'm sorry."

Stone had started looking at her the same way. "It's okay. I'm used to these kinds of things from the doctor. It's a bit genetic." he said, saying the last word with a small chuckle.

"I don't wanna  hide behind this excuse or pretend everything's fine. I'm not my father." Y/N objected. There was regret in her voice.

Stone stopped and turned towards her. At that moment, Y/N did the same. They were looking directly into each other's eyes.

"I know that, Y/N. I assure you, if an apology was needed, I would tell you." he replied. Looking at her wet face and beautiful eyes made him smile. "Besides, you have the beautiful sides of your father that he never showed to anyone but me. And even more. I know what they are and you can't deny it." he added.

Y/N continued to look at him with curious eyes. "If you say so..." she could only manage. Looking at Stone's wet face and beautiful eyes made her feel mesmerized. 'It must be the rain', she thought.

It was as if at that moment, the hum of the surrounding sounds, the sound of the rain, everything became meaningless; only that moment remained for both of them.

"Um..." Y/N broke the moment. She looked around to find something to distract herself. "Shall we move?"

"Of course." he replied, smiling.

They hadn't spoken a word on the way. When they arrived home, Y/N immediately grabbed her bathrobe and towel and rushed into the bathroom. Stone knew that her shyness and sudden strange behavior were due to him and what he had said. His smile spread across his entire face. He headed to the bedroom to change.

When Y/N came out of the shower, she started to feel quite exhausted. The bathroom was filled with steam, and although the heat inside burned her skin, she shivered as soon as she stepped out. She put on some random clothes and walked towards the living room. She barely made it to the couch, throwing herself onto it as she turned on the television. She threw one arm over her forehead, trying to get into a comfortable position. But there was a problem. Her forehead was much hotter than the rest of the room. "Oh, no!" she muttered a little loudly.

Stone was in the kitchen, preparing some snacks for them. He quickly came to the living room when he heard Y/N's voice. Worry instantly appeared on his face. "What happened? Are you okay? I heard your voice."

Y/N's face fell. "I think I have a fever..." she said, her voice sounding weary. Getting sick was one of the things she hated most in life. Losing control, feeling weak...

Stone's eyes widened, filled with genuine concern. He approached the couch and hesitantly reached out a hand towards Y/N's forehead. His hand lingered in the air, not yet touching. Y/N knew why he hesitated; he was afraid of hurting her, or perhaps just going too far. She simply approved with her eyes and this silent permission was enough for Stone. Y/N was sure that even when she didn't have a fever, she would feel a warmth in her heart when Stone's hand touched her. When his fingers touched Y/N's forehead, Stone lightly gasped. The warmth of her skin was more than he expected, but at the same time, this contact brought a strange peace that spread throughout his body.

"Yes, you have a bit of a fever." Stone said, his voice unexpectedly soft. His eyes wandered over Y/N's tired face. "But I don't think it's high enough to worry about."

He still hadn't pulled his hand away, his fingers remained on Y/N's forehead. With his other hand, he took out his phone and summoned a small badnik. The badnik, with its bright, metallic eyes, silently approached and sent a small laser beam to her forehead, measuring Y/N's temperature. Stone was right; the number displayed on the badnik's screen wasn't high enough to worry about. But intervention was still needed.

He slowly pull back his hand, which had been on her forehead for minutes. His fingers already missed her skin, as if a magnet was pulling them back. Stone unconsciously took a deep breath. He thought to himself: "I need to fix this."

He immediately headed towards the kitchen. Y/N watched him with half-closed eyes, wondering what he would do.

A few minutes later, Stone returned with a bowl of ice water, a clean cloth and a medicine tablet in his hand. There was a determined expression on his face. He sat next to Y/N, dipped the cloth in the ice water and lightly squeezed it. He gently placed the cold compress on Y/N's forehead. Y/N lightly moaned with the relief of the coolness on her forehead.

"This will bring the fever down." Stone said, his voice soft. "You need to take this medicine too." He handed Y/N the tablet and a glass of water.

Y/N pouted. "Medicine? I don't like medicine."

Stone raised an eyebrow. "I don't like breaking rules either, Y/N. But sometimes we have to do what needs to be done." There was a slight challenge in his eyes. "Now, either you take this medicine yourself, or I'll make you."

Y/N giggled, even her grumpiness melted away in the face of Stone's determination. "Okay, okay, I get it, Mr. Rules." she said, she took the medicine tablet and swallowed it with the water.

"Well done." Stone said, smiling, as if rewarding a small child.

He dipped the cloth in the water again and gently placed it on Y/N's forehead. "Now rest a bit. I'll make you some soup. I always took care of the Doctor when he was sick too. So, I can say I'm experienced." he said. The slight sadness in his voice didn't escape Y/N's notice.

Sylvester, meanwhile, was completely indifferent to all this drama. He hardly even bothered with Stone coming and going from the kitchen, content to roll around behind the couch and lick his legs. Occasionally, he'd wag his tail, as if to say, 'give me food, and do whatever you want.' For him, life was all about food and sleep.

Once Stone was sure Y/N had fallen asleep again, he quietly got up. He took the bowl of water to the kitchen and cleaned it. He looked out the window. The rain had lightened but the sky was still overcast. Y/N's illness was unexpected for him. Seeing her so vulnerable and right before his eyes... This once again proved how deeply Stone's bond with Y/N had grown.

Y/N quickly fell asleep, soothed by the cool compress on her forehead and Stone's comforting presence beside her. In the depths of her sleep, she floated in a peaceful void. A few hours later, she stirred, opening her eyes to a soft rustle. The room was dim, the rain outside had decreased, and its sound now seemed like a lullaby. When she slowly turned her head, she saw Stone sitting on the edge of the couch, quietly reading something on his tablet. The lines of exhaustion on his face, the faint dark circles under his eyes, whispered to Y/N how long he had been waiting by her side.

Stone noticed Y/N stirring and lifted his head from the tablet. A warm smile instantly spread across his face. "Good morning, sleepyhead. How are you?" he asked. His voice was a whisper.

Y/N tried to clear her throat but realized it was dry. "Better... I think." she whispered. She tried to sit up slightly.

"Don't you dare get up." he said immediately. He put the tablet aside and got up from where he was sitting. "Your soup is ready. It's good to eat it while it's hot."

He returned shortly with a steaming bowl of soup in his hand. The aroma was so inviting that Y/N's stomach growled.

Stone extended the bowl to Y/N. Y/N took the bowl and dipped the spoon into the soup. Her eyes widened slightly with the first sip. "Wow... This is amazing! It tastes like my mom made it." she reacted. With each spoonful, the warmth spreading inside her healed both her body and soul.

"I told you I was experienced." Stone replied, with a hint of pride. As he watched Y/N eagerly eat her soup, there was a genuine contentment on his face. "How's your fever now?"

Y/N took another sip of soup. "It feels like it's gone down. But I still feel a bit weak."

"You need to rest a bit more then. You can go back to sleep after you finish the soup." Stone said. His eyes rested warmly on Y/N. "It's almost time for me to go to work but don't worry, I'll leave one of the badniks with you, and it'll let me know if you need anything."

After finishing the soup, Y/N handed the bowl to Stone. "Thank you, Stone. It really helped." she said, her voice filled with sincere gratitude.

Stone took the empty bowl and gently placed it on the coffee table. He placed his hand on Y/N's forehead again, this time without hesitation. Her fever had gone down but her skin was still warm. "Rest now. I'll check on you again when I get back tonight."

Y/N smiled faintly and closed her eyes. Stone's gentle touch made her feel safe. Stone removed his hand and quietly went to the kitchen. A few minutes later, despite her closed eyes, Y/N heard a small, metallic click entering the living room. It was one of the badniks. As she drifted back to sleep, a small smile played on her lips.

Stone, getting ready to leave the house, looked at Y/N one last time. She was sleeping peacefully. "You'll be okay." he whispered. He quietly closed the door and headed towards the cafe. The rain outside had significantly lessened compared to the previous day. Those unfamiliar clouds over Green Hills seemed to have finally decided to leave.

Y/N had fallen into a deep sleep until Stone returned from work. Hours had flown by in Stone's absence; outside, it was already dark and the streetlights were on. When Y/N awoke and opened her eyes, she realized it was evening from the dimness of the room and a faint snoring sound. When she slowly turned her head, she saw Stone asleep on the couch, where he had been sitting. His tablet had slipped from his hand and fallen onto his chest. It was as if the exhaustion of the entire day had descended upon him all at once. Stone had sacrificed himself again, coming home from work just to watch over her.

She quietly slid off the couch, pausing for a moment to adjust to the cold floor as her feet touched it. Her throat was dry. She quietly and slowly walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water. When she returned to the living room with the glass of water, she noticed Stone's eyes opening. Stone, seeing Y/N coming towards him, startled slightly, then looked at him with sleepy eyes.

"Oh..." Y/N whispered. "Did I wake you?"

She felt bad. She hadn't wanted to wake him when he was so tired.

Stone smiled faintly, some of the exhaustion on his face dissipating. "No, no." he whispered. "You didn't wake me. I just... woke up to check if you were okay."

He was lying, he wouldn't have woken up if he hadn't seen Y/N. But seeing Y/N's distress, he didn't want to be honest with her.

Y/N sat down on the couch next to Stone, a faint smile on her lips. She sipped the water in her glass, turning her eyes to the window. The rain had almost completely stopped, there was only a light drizzle outside. Yesterday, she had been soaking wet twice in the town's rain. Once from the confusion in her mind and once from her anger. Now, that rain seemed to have brought her this peace, as if it had cleansed her soul.

"I like the rain." Y/N said suddenly, quietly.

Stone also turned his eyes to the window, his gaze fixed on the darkness outside. "Me too."

They sat in silence for a few minutes. There was only their presence and the gentle sound of rain from outside. As Y/N felt Stone's warmth beside her, her eyelids grew heavy. Trust and peace enveloped her entire being. She slowly leaned her head on Stone's shoulder and fell asleep again.

Stone, feeling Y/N's head fall on his shoulder, froze slightly. For a moment, he didn't move, just felt her presence. Then he slowly smiled. He watched Y/N sleep peacefully. "I couldn't even have imagined this." he thought to himself. He leaned back slightly, Y/N's weight didn't bother him at all. He closed his eyes and as the scent of Y/N's hair filled his nose. He also slowly drifted into sleep. They spent the rest of the night in peaceful silence.

~ Doctor's Plan ~

Agent Stone x (f) reader

Part seven {the masterlist}

Warnings: none

Word count: 18.2k

Since that day, they continued their defense training every morning. Although it was difficult for Y/N at first, she had made significant progress, thanks to Stone's teachings. However, neither of them had quite gotten used to the close physical contact between them. Most of their training sessions passed in an awkward silence.

Stone wasn't regretting this addition to his already challenging days; on the contrary, spending time with Y/N was motivating for him. The same could be said for Y/N, of course. She went to the cafe to be with Stone every chance she got during the day. And this was one of those days...

"Don't look at me like that." Y/N warned her cat, who was watching her curiously. "I'm just going to do some shopping, not to Mean Bean."

Frankly, Sylvester didn't really care. As long as she brought him food, he didn't mind where she went. Still, Y/N felt an internal guilt for constantly leaving her cat alone at home. To make up for it, she hardly ever put him down in the evenings.

As Y/N leaned down to stroke his fur, Sylvester started licking her hand. "Mommy will be right back. Be a good boy, okay?"

She grabbed her bag and phone, then left the house, locking the door multiple times. She honestly didn't trust her cat, who had tried to escape by turning the door handle countless times before.

Y/N was pushing a shopping cart through the aisles when she noticed a blue blur zip past her. Of course, it was none other than Sonic.

"Sonic!"

Sonic only noticed his new friend when she called out to him. He zipped back and appeared beside Y/N. "Y/N! What's up?!"

"Not bad."

Sonic, seeing the frozen pizza in Y/N's shopping cart, changed the subject as quickly as he'd appeared. "Nah, those don't taste that great. There's a pizza place near Green Hills that makes excellent pizzas." he said, underlining the word 'excellent'. "You should try it."

Y/N thought for a moment. That could be nice. She put the frozen pizza back in the freezer and pulled out her phone to take a note. "Can you give me the exact location?"

When she returned home, she quickly put away her groceries and then spent the rest of the day with Sylvester. This was enough to ease her conscience. After hours had passed and Sylvester fell asleep on the couch, Y/N quickly changed and left the house.

When her car pulled up in front of the cafe, Stone was busy locking the door. She slowly lowered her window and called out to him.

"Excuse me, sir. I'm looking for a man who is exhausted from work. Are you him?"

"Yes!" Stone replied. He finished locking the door and turned to her. "What are you doing here?"

"I didn't want to cook. So I decided to go to the pizzeria and I'll take you with me. Jump in!" she said, gesturing to the passenger seat.

Stone smiled, gave a quick salute, and immediately got into the car.

They didn't talk much on the way, apart from short daily chats. As Sonic had said, and the navigation confirmed, the place wasn't too far by car.

They went inside and found a table. Before they even had a chance to look at the menu, the waiter appeared beside them.

"May I take your order, sir?"

Y/N pushed the menu aside without looking at it. "You choose." she said, addressing Stone.

Stone quickly glanced at the menu and placed the order. "We'll have a large vegetarian pizza. And please, only put olives on half of the pizza." he added.

The waiter noted the order and left them. "You could choose what you wanted..." Y/N said. She knew Stone had ordered this because she didn't like bacon and pepperoni.

"I did." Stone replied. "The olives will only be on your half."

Y/N picked up the menu she had just ignored and opened it, covering her entire face. While she secretly liked that Stone remembered details about her, she felt a little embarrassed.

"So, you didn't say where you found this place."

"On the internet." Y/N lied. She couldn't tell him Sonic had recommended it. "The reviews were great."

Stone only pursed his lips. He silently looked around for a while. Finally, he couldn't stand anymore and used his fingers to gently pull down the menu that still hid Y/N's face. He looked at her with questioning eyes. He actually knew why she was acting this way. The doctor also got embarrassed and tried to hide himself whenever small details about him were remembered.

"I was looking at the drinks." she explained. Neither of them found this excuse very convincing, but they didn't press the matter. She slowly placed the menu on the table. "I want coke. What do you say?"

"Okay." he agreed, then called the waiter over again and ordered two cokes.

When the pizza and cokes arrived, they started eating with enjoy. Sonic was right, the pizzas here were excellent. Frozen pizzas couldn't even compare.

"Delicious! You should definitely give it five stars." Stone said, finishing his last slice of pizza.

With her mouth full, Y/N just nodded. Five stars to Sonic the Hedgehog!

When they finished eating, despite Y/N's insistence, Stone paid the bill, and they set off to return to his house.

As they approached Green Hills, Stone spotted Commander Walters in the distance. Walters didn't seem to notice Stone yet, but that wouldn't last long.

"Ugh! What is he doing in here?"

"Who?" Y/N asked. She looked around the car but didn't see any familiar faces.

"That's Commander Walters over there." he said, pointing at the man with his finger. "Please stay in the story."

"Don't worry."

Stone sped up his driving again, approaching Walters as if he hadn't seen him. However, Walters had noticed him and waved his hand for Stone to notice him and stop the car. Stone had no choice, he pulled up beside him and stopped the car. He slowly lowered down the window.

"Stone! It's been a while!"

"Good evening, sir!"

"Who's this beautiful lady?" he asked, referring to Y/N.

"Hi! I'm his girlfriend. And you?.." Y/N said in a very cheerful tone.

Before Walters could answer, Stone interjected. "He's my former boss."

"I'm Walters." he said, nodding to Y/N. "It's nice to see he's finally in a relationship."

Y/N quickly glanced at Stone and smiled widely. "My little pumpkin must've been waiting for the best." she said, pointing to herself with her thumb.

Stone lowered his gaze and grinned. Even if he didn't realize it, he blushed slightly.

"Lucky guy." Walters reacted, jokingly slapping Stone's shoulder. "I'd better not keep you two any longer."

He was about to leave when an idea struck him. "Stone, I'd like to invite you and your partner to a gathering this weekend."

Stone raised an eyebrow and looked at Y/N with questioning eyes. She thought about it for a few seconds. "It might be fun..." she whispered, just loud enough for Stone to hear.

"Are you sure?" he whispered back in the same way.

Y/N silently nodded, but she wasn't entirely sure and Stone understood that.

"We would like to join, sir." he replied to Walters' offer. He had made a decision for both of them, but if Y/N changed her mind, he could easily back out and inform Commander Walters.

"Alright then. My staff will provide you with the necessary information." Walters said before continuing on his way.

"Have a good night, sir." Stone said, starting the engine.

"Bye! Nice knowing you!" Y/N called out just before Stone rolled up the window. They continued on their way, leaving Walters behind. "I think he took the bait." Y/N said.

"Yeah, I hope so..."

They both remained silent for a while. "My little pumpkin, huh?" Stone asked, chuckling softly.

"What? It was the first thing that came to my mind at that moment." Y/N defended herself. She turned her head to Stone, who was glancing at her.

"Okay." Stone said, still grinning.

Y/N watched him for a while longer, noticing the pink still lingering on his cheeks. "Cute." she murmured to herself, then leaned back and watched the road, smiling faintly.

Stone hadn't heard what she said. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. "What?"

"Nevermind." Y/N replied, without taking her eyes off the road.

Two days later, the day of Walters' gathering had arrived. Until then, Stone had asked Y/N repeatedly if she really wanted to go, and Y/N had patiently affirmed him countless times, and finally, they had made a firm decision to attend the gathering.

That Sunday, Y/N woke up at a not-so-early hour and stood at the bathroom door with her bathrobe in hand. "Come on, you've been in there for hours, get out already!" she grumbled loudly.

Although Stone had only entered the shower a few minutes ago, this period felt quite long to Y/N. She had a lot more to do but limited time and every minute spent waiting felt longer than it was. She didn't want to be late.

After knocking on the bathroom door a few more times, Stone opened it. He had taken his shower and put on some comfortable clothes but his hair was still wet. He looked at Y/N, who was waiting for him at the door.

"Thank God! What took you so long?" she grumbled upon seeing him.

Stone glanced at his smartwatch. "It's been only 11 minutes." he replied.

"It should've been less."

"Said the woman who couldn't get out of the shower in less than 30 minutes."

Y/N rolled her eyes and grabbed Stone by the arm, pulling him out of the bathroom. "Don't challenge me, agent."

He grinned. "I thought you like challenges..." he replied. He enjoyed provoking her.

"Challenge accepted then." she said, and with a single move, she took his smartwatch from his wrist. With a sly smile on her face, she swinged the smartwatch between her fingers. "This stays with me."

Before Stone could say a single word, Y/N closed and locked the door. He looked at the closed door for a few seconds and continued to grin. Then, drying his hair with the towel around his neck, he went to the kitchen to prepare coffee.

As soon as Y/N came out of the shower and into the kitchen in her bathrobe, Stone was sitting at the kitchen table, taking the last sip of his coffee. With a proud expression on her face, Y/N placed the smartwatch in front of him. "28 minutes. I won."

Stone looked at Y/N, who stood half-naked in front of him, then at the watch in front of him, surprised. "Wow! I'm impressed!" he reacted.

Y/N wasn't sure if he said it for the score or for her but Stone had meant both in a single sentence. But unfortunately, Y/N wouldn't know this. She chose to assume he said it for the score. After all, Stone wasn't interested in her, was he?

"Told you." she replied and left to get dressed.

She hadn't brought any dresses in her suitcase when she returned from New York, and after Walters' invitation, she immediately ordered a beautiful long black dress with a backless design and high heels. She had tried on the dress and shoes, which had arrived quickly, while Stone wasn't home. They were stylish but comfortable, and that was enough for her. After getting dressed and finishing her hair and makeup, she was ready. Y/N took one last look at herself in the mirror; it had been a long time since she had dressed like this.

"Your coffee is ready!" Stone called from the kitchen. Y/N stepped away from the mirror, grabbed her phone and shoes that she had left on the bed, and walked towards the kitchen.

Stone slowly placed the coffee cup he had prepared for Y/N on the table, then picked up the empty coffee cup from the table to put it on the counter when he stopped at a vibration from his smartwatch. As he lifted his head again, he saw Y/N in front of him. He was surprised. It was the first time he had seen her like this, and he was mesmerized. His pupils widened, his heart rate quickened and in that moment of reaction, he accidentally dropped the empty cup to the floor.

"Oh, are you okay?" Y/N asked when the cup fell and shattered. "Did I scare you?"

These worried questions brought Stone back to his senses. "Huh? Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine. You didn't scare me, at least not this time. And it was empty anyway." he replied immediately.

She exhaled audibly. "Oh, good then..."

Stone bent down to pick up the broken pieces on the floor, but his eyes were still on Y/N. "It suits you so good." was all he could say out of all the things he wanted to say.

Y/N blushed a little at that. "Thank you." she replied, looking away.

As Stone collected the glass shards, Y/N sipped the coffee prepared for her. Neither of them spoke. He threw what he had collected into the trash, then assigned one of the badniks to sweep the floor from his watch's control panel. Before leaving the kitchen to put on his suit, he looked at Y/N one last time. She looked magnificent.

"Thank you, Doctor." he whispered as he stepped into the hallway.

Stone was ready after quickly putting on one of his suits. He just took out the parfume he sometimes used and sprayed a few spritzes. Doctor Robotnik didn't like perfumes and Stone had gotten used to not wearing parfume when he was with him. But he always smelled clean.

When he left the room and saw Y/N at the end of the hallway, he smiled again. He could look at her all day.

"You drive! I can't drive in these shoes." she said, tossing him her car keys.

Stone caught the keys with one hand. Y/N had only put a jacket over her dress, then opened the door and stepped outside. "Are you sure you don't wanna get your coat? It's cold." Stone warned her.

"Don't worry. The cold never bothered me anyway." she said, flipping her hair like Elsa.

This action was enough to make Stone laugh. "Alright, Elsa."

When they arrived, Y/N was nervous. She knew everyone there -everyone but herself- was an agent and this made her feel nervous. She tried not to let anything show to Stone as she walked beside him.

"Ah, you've arrived!" Walters said as he approached them. "I thought Stone would back out at the last minute."

Y/N tried to smile genuinely. "Honestly, it's been a long time since we've been to crowded places like this... This night will be good for both of us." she said, wrapping her hands around Stone's arm.

Stone's eyes immediately went to her hands gripping his arm. Just then, someone called Walters, pulling his focus away from them. As the man walked away, Y/N's hands still held Stone's arm.

"I didn't like this guy, he looks a little shifty to me." she whispered to Stone. She suddenly realized what she was doing and quickly pulled her hands away, trying to avoid looking at him.

Stone was secretly saddened that this pleasant feeling had ended. "Yeah, he's not trustworthy anyway." he could only say.

Almost everyone in the room was looking at Stone as if they had seen a ghost; it was clear that this was due to his working for Robotnik...

"Would you like something to drink?" he asked. He wanted to move somewhere out of sight. Y/N nodded in agreement. As they walked towards the bar, she could feel eyes still on them.

After they both got non-alcoholic drinks, they moved to one of the cocktail tables there. They said nothing, just observed their surroundings. Y/N was used to Stone's silent moods, but the current silence also carried tension, and she knew why. This night was perfect for Stone to access GUN's database.

He took the last sip of his drink and placed the glass on the table. "Would you mind if I leave you alone here for a while?" asked Stone, scanning the surroundings with his eyes.

"No problem." Y/N assured him.

Stone nodded at her and left her side to place the spybots. Y/N was left alone with her thoughts in the middle of all the crowd and noise. The party wasn't at all what she expected. While she was busy with her phone out of boredom, an unfamiliar woman approached her.

"Hello."

"Hello." Y/N replied.

"Excuse me, but I have a question for you." the woman said. She spoke in a rather indifferent tone. This made Y/N a little nervous.

"Of course..."

"Are you from the new GUN team?" she asked.

Y/N was greatly relieved by this question. For a moment, she had even thought they knew who she really was. "Oh, no. I'm Agent Stone's girlfriend." she said, smiling.

The woman's face was filled with great surprise. "Oh! Really? I'm so surprised he's in a relationship! I mean, you know, he was practically obsessed with Robotnik. We haven't really been in touch since he started working with him."

The woman opposite her or anyone else in that place, didn't know she was Robotnik's daughter. They only knew this role she was playing: 'Agent Stone's girlfriend...'

If she didn't know the truth, even she might have gotten caught up in this role.

While the woman continued to talk about many irrelevant things, Y/N just nodded occasionally. It was obvious that the woman was the gossipy type and at that moment, even if the woman said something, she wouldn't have been interested.

"Ladies..."

Y/N startled when Stone suddenly appeared and spoke. She turned to Stone, who was standing beside her. "Help me." she mouthed.

"Uh, do I know you?" he asked to the stranger. Then he took the glass Y/N held in one hand and chugged its contents in one go. He wasn't disgusted. Although Y/N was surprised by this, Stone was never disgusted by anything related to her.

"I'm Yolanda. We used to work in the same unit. Don't you remember? In fact, once-"

Stone raised his finger, interrupting the woman. "I don't remember, ma'am. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to ask my girlfriend to dance." he said. He politely took Y/N's hand and gently led her a few steps towards the empty area.

Y/N was too surprised to react properly to what was happening. She still couldn't take her surprised eyes off their hands when Stone gently placed one hand on Y/N's waist.

"Uh..." Y/N began, but she didn't know what to say.

"Is this enough for help?" Stone asked, smiling sideways.

"Thank you." Y/N said with a smile. She placed one hand on Stone's shoulder. They had started to dance. Y/N chose to talk to ease her tension. "The woman wouldn't stop talking, seriously. She told so many unnecessary things..."

"Everyone who works here is trapped in a lie. They're stuck in a system and deceive themselves into thinking this is their dream job, their purpose. They think they can rule the country, the world. Maybe even save it... If they had the chance or the courage, or even thought questioned a little, they'd realize the truth. But they're all empty, they need to be controlled."

Their steps and movements were perfectly synchronized. Y/N's mind was too preoccupied to pay attention to what Stone was saying. She couldn't focus on anything but being this close to him and his hands holding her.

She didn't want to admit it, but she had some feelings for Stone. She was comfortable and safe around him. And most of all, he cared about her and she felt this.

But there were also some questions that bothered her mind. What if her father came back and she had to go back to New York? What if Stone had feelings for her? What if he didn't? What if everything they'd been through had been part of a job for him? What if he'd been acting nice the whole time? She might not be able to handle a heartbreak.

"Are you okay?"

This question pulled Y/N from all those thoughts. "Yes, yes. I just zoned out for a moment."

The song they were dancing to was about to end. "Thank you for joining me in this dance..." Stone said. Without letting go of Y/N's hand, he took a few steps away from her, then pulled her towards him, leaning her backward. There was an attractive smile on his face as he did. Y/N was completely caught off guard, she was smiling too.

When their dance ended, loud applause erupted from around them. Neither of them had realized that everyone was watching them. They had preoccupied their minds with different things during the dance, as if trying to prove to themselves that their very close contact was 'natural'. Y/N was busy with feelings and possibilities, while Stone was budy with order and authorities. Neither of them chose to stay in the moment, and now, as they moved away from each other, they felt as if something was left unfinished.

"Um... Shall we go?" Y/N asked among the applause.

Stone nodded in agreement, then picked up Y/N's bag and jacket that she had left on the table, and they walked towards the exit. Eyes were still on them and some people were whispering things about the two of them to each other. They were definitely the main topic of the night: 'Agent Stone, who left everything and everyone behind for Robotnik, and his mysterious girlfriend who suddenly appeared!'

That night, the temperature had dropped a few more degrees and Y/N immediately started to shiver when they went outside. Stone noticed her trembling. He quickly took off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders, his fingertips briefly touching Y/N's skin for a fleeting moment, like a small electric current that seemed to summarize the entire night.

Y/N turned her eyes to him and smiled gently. While it was freezing outside, the only thing melting inside her was his smile.

"Thank you." Y/N said, wrapping herself in the jacket. It was warm and smelled of Stone mixed with his parfume.

As they walked towards the car in the open parking lot, the only sounds around them were the wind and the click of Y/N's high heels. The silence between them was deeper than the howl of the wind. When they got into the car, Stone immediately turned on the air conditioning. He didn't want Y/N to get any colder.

As the car began to warm up, Y/N made a move to take off the jacket. "Keep it." Stone said, without taking his eyes off the road.

Y/N happily snuggled back into the jacket. Her eyes closed with the combined sound of the engine and the wind, while Stone was left alone with his thoughts. The car was silent, city lights streaming past the window.

His mind replayed every memory from the gathering, like a film reel. The romantic notes of the music, how he held her hand while dancing, the slight sway of her hair... Most of all, that sincere smile on her face. Every movement, every glance, seemed etched into the deepest corners of his mind. This silence felt far more meaningful than the previous commotion. It was as if the whole world, just for that moment, was in its right place. Even his refusal when Y/N wanted to give the jacket back wasn't just about the jacket, but about prolong that moment.

A melody played in Stone's heart. In that melody, there was only her, that evening, her touch and her embracing of his jacket. His heart beat in the same rhythm as the car's quiet engine; calm, peaceful and full of hope.

Agent Stone x (f) reader

Part three {the masterlist}

Warnings: none

Word count: 14.8k

The agent woke up early that morning and went for a run. There was no one around except some stray animals. A gentle cold wind was hitting his face.  Meanwhile, in the back of his mind, he was still thinking about how to put Robotnik's plan into action. It wasn't easy and he had to keep a low profile while doing all this.

While he was running in his usual direction, he noticed a detail that he had not paid much attention before.

'Employee wanted for Karen's Coffee '

At that moment, it was as if everything fell into place like a puzzle piece. He hadn't realized before that this was exactly what he had been looking for for days.

When he completed his run and returned home, he took a quick shower and got dressed. Y/N was asleep on the couch. Out of spite, she turned down Stone's offer to sleep in his bedroom. She could very well sleep on the couch and as she said she was already used to. But eventually they came to an agreement; one week, one would sleep on the couch while the other would sleep in the bedroom. This way, both of them would have equal conditions. They decided who would sleep on the couch the first week by tossing a coin.

While Stone was placing the portafilter in his hand into the coffee machine, was also making a bacon omelette.

"I don't like bacon." Y/N said as she stepped into the kitchen.

Stone was startled by the voice, but quickly regained his composure and looked over his shoulder at Y/N. "Okay... How would you like your omelette then?"

"Umm... I'm not in the mood for an omelette today." Y/N said and yawned. She went to the refrigerator and started looking inside.

"Okay, what would you like to eat then?" Stone asked as he turned off the stove.

Y/N didn't answer. At that moment, she didn't want to eat anything she saw in the refrigerator. She closed the refrigerator's door, sat on one of the chairs, and started drinking the coffee Stone had made for himself. "Thanks." she said just before taking the first sip.

Y/N was already drank half the coffee before Stone told her he made that coffee for himself. He left the plate in his hand on the table and started making himself another coffee.

"Bagels. I want bagels. Is there a place around here that sells them?"

"Uh... I don't know. It has to be." said Stone. He took his new coffee and sat on one of the chairs. “Do you want me to go get it from the store?”

"Nah..." she objected. When she looked around, she got curious when she couldn't see her cat. "Where's Sylvester?"

Stone looked around, the last time he saw him was before Y/N woke up. "He's around here somewhere. Can't be far away."

Y/N gulped down her coffee and got up to look out for her cat. She searched everywhere -even the bathroom- but the only place she didn't look was Stone's bedroom. The room's door was half-open. As soon as Y/N walked in, she found her cat napping on the bed.

She had never been in this room before. There was nothing in the room other than a large wardrobe, a double-size bed and two nightstands. Something on one of the nightstands caught her attention: Stone's wallet.

She check through the door and quietly approached the wallet. Her purpose was just to look at Mr. Mysterious's ID and learn his name. After another check, she took the wallet, opened it and found his ID among the cards.

Aban Stone

She hummed silently in her head. She put the wallet back in its place and left the room. When she came back to the kitchen, Stone looked at her questioningly.

"Did you find him?"

"Oh, yeah. He's taking a nap, in your room." she said and then added. "You have no idea how grumpy he gets when he's disturbed."

She sat down again and watched the agent, who was finishing his breakfast. She wasn't sure if the name suited him. You could easily guess some people's names by looking at their faces, but Stone wasn't one of them.

"So, what's the plan today?" Y/N asked, breaking the long, deep silence.

"Actually, I was planning to go to a job interview today. At Karen's Coffee. This morning, while I was running, I saw an ad saying they were looking for employees."

"I thought you were an agent..."

"I am. But I need something to provide a monthly cash flow." he said, getting up to refill his and Y/N's coffee. "Besides, I need to get a job so I don't attract too much attention."

"Do you think you can do it? Alright, you make better coffee way above average, but are you talented enough to be stable in this job?" Y/N asked, turning around in her chair, looking at Stone.

"I have a diploma and degrees on this." Stone replied with a proud grin on his face.

Y/N was wide-eyed in surprise, but luckily Stone still had his back turned and didn't see her expression.

"Wow, I didn't know that." she said in a surprised tone.

The grin on his face still hadn't disappeared when Stone turned towards her with two cups in his hands. "There's a lot you don't know yet."

"Because you don't tell!" Y/N snapped at him.

"Everything has its time."

Y/N just made a face at that cliché. While they were sipping their coffee, Sylvester came into the kitchen. She left her coffee cup on the table and took her cat in her arms.

"Heyy, sweet boy!"

Her voice had changed, it always changed when she was talking to her cat. It would become more childish. And Stone noticed this from day one.

While Y/N was playing with her cat, Stone quietly got up and went to his room to get ready. He was ready when he put on his suit jacket and grabbed his wallet and phone. He called out to Y/N one last time before putting on his shoes and leaving the house.

"I'm going out. If you need anything, call me."

"I don't have your number!" Y/N yelled back. She repeated the sentence in a more normal tone as she came to the kitchen door and leaned on the beam. She was looking at the agent who was putting on his shoes on the floor.

Stone stood up, straightened his jacket, took his phone out of his pocket and made a transaction. "Now you have." he said, at the same time as the notification sound on Y/N's phone. Then he put a slight smile on his face and left the house.

Less than half an hour after Stone left, the doorbell rang. Y/N got up from where she was sitting and went to the door. When she looked through the door hole, she saw that the person coming was a courier. She hesitantly opened the door and looked at the courier with frowning and questioning eyes.

"Are you Y/N Y/LN?" said the courier, taking a brief look at the note in their hand.

"Yes?"

"This order is for you." said the courier, holding out the package in their hand. "Bon appetit, ma'am." they added, and instead of taking the elevator, they took the stairs and walked away.

Y/N closed the door and walked back into the kitchen with the package in hand. There were two bagels in the package. She jumped slightly with joy when she saw it.

While taking a bite of one of the bagels, she texted Stone.

"Thanks for the bagels!"

At that moment, Stone quickly put on the apron in his hand and looked at the notification on his smart watch. Y/N must've liked the bagels he sent. He quickly replied to her and returned to his work. He was hired right away and now all he had to do was lay low and make money.

"Enjoy it. :)"

Y/N had spent the rest of the day cleaning and working on projects she still hadn't finished. She didn't have much to do at home, she had her phone with her but she couldn't talk to her friends. It's been almost a week since she came here and she hasn't even stepped out. She had to stay away from everything and everyone for a while, for her own safety. Although this seemed relaxing at first, she was starting to get bored.

While her cat was taking his umpteenth nap of the day, she went into Stone's home office and sat down in front of the little robot she had been working on for months. While she was dealing with this, she had her father in the back of her mind, she knew that her interest in mechanics came from blood.

She had designed little things since she was little, and little Y/N had kept them all in hopes of showing them to her father one day. All of them were currently in a box in the attic of her house in New York, waiting to be resurfaced.

When she absentmindedly plugged in her robot, which she thought she had finished, she tripped the house's electrical switch. She returned to the moment with surprise and unplugged the robot. She knew from the beginning that building a cable-powered robot was a mistake, but she tried anyway. She left the room and looked for the little container where the house's electrical switch was located. When she found it, she came out with the help of a chair and looked. Yes, just as she thought, her little robot had tripped the electrical switch. She returned the keys to their original state and got down from the chair. Her whole mood was disappear.

She closed the office's door before her cat woke up, returned to the living room, and sat down on the sofa exhausted. She wanted time to pass as quickly as possible.

Stone adapted easily to his new job. Even though his boss was rude and his co-workers were people he wasn't used to and they tested his patience, there wasn't much he could do. He had completed his first whirlwind day at work and was back home; even if not his body, his nerves were worn out and overwhelmed.

When he opened the door and walked in, Sylvester was at his feet. "Hello, little one." he said before leaning down and picking him up.

He took off his shoes and walked towards the living room with the cat in his arms. Y/N had fallen asleep in front of the TV, sitting on the couch, a very uncomfortable position to sleep.

She woke up startled as Stone gently grabbed the remote control, which was about to fall from her hand.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to turn off the TV..." Stone quickly explained.

"No problem." Y/N replied in her sleepy voice. She turned off the television and sat up, feeling stiff all over. As she tilted her neck left and right to relax, she grimaced in pain.

"It's been a tiring day?" Stone asked, while stroking the fur of the cat that lay calmly on his lap.

"No. Not at all. On the contrary, it's been boring." She exhaled loudly. "I feel like Rapunzel."

Stone raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Why?"

"Because I'm stuck in here and can't go out. Just like her." she replied. Her tone of voice was as if she were telling a truth known by everyone.

"You can't go out yet ." he corrected her. "As soon as I can figure all the things out you're able to can. But for now, you have to be out of sights." he said and added before Y/N could open her mouth. "For your own safety."

"There are coffee stains on your shirt." Y/N said, changing the subject.

Stone looked down at his shirt and grimaced. "Uh... Yeah."

"What happened?"

Stone took a deep, tired sigh and began to explain. "Karen, my new boss, didn't like the coffee I made and sprayed it in my face with the first sip she took."

There was anger hidden in his voice and Y/N noticed it immediately.

"What?! But you make great coffee!"

This sentence brought relief to Stone's face and inside him, he was glad to be understood. "Thanks! But well... not everyone realizes that."

Y/N sat down with one leg under her and turned towards him. "How about you make me the same coffee? Huh?"

"Are you sure?" he asked, raising one eyebrow.

"Absolutely." Y/N answered him without hesitation.

"Alright then..."

He left the cat on his lap, quickly went to his room, changed his clothes, and then immediately went into the kitchen. Without wasting any time, he started making the coffee he had been making for years.

Y/N was still sitting in the same spot when Stone came back into the living room with coffee in hand. "Here you go." he said as he carefully handed the cup to Y/N. "Latte with steamed Austrian goat milk."

Y/N said thank you and lifted the coffee cup to her lips, smelled before drinking. "Smells good." she said and took a big sip and let the taste of the coffee delight her mouth.

"This... is really good." she said and took another sip. It was obvious from her face that she liked it. Stone's lips turned slightly upward.

"It's definitely in the top three coffees I've drank so far. I'm not exaggerating."

The smile on Stone's face grew wider. "Thanks! That's the Doctor's favourite."

Y/N had slightly pursed her lips at this information, but thanks to the coffee cup, Stone hadn't seen it. "That woman, Karen, must be an ignoramus. Who wouldn't like that?"

"I know, right?!" Stone reacted. There was no trace of his despondency from an hour ago, and he owed that entirely to Y/N.

With an idea coming to her mind, she left the study and started looking for Stone at home. She should have shared the idea in her mind immediately. Stone was sitting at the kitchen table and looking at his phone.

"Stone! Stone!! Ah, there you are!"

Stone's eyebrows were furrowed and he put down the phone in his hand and looked at her with questioning eyes. "Is there a problem?"

"Problem? No, no problem. Listen to me, I have a plan." she said in a very confident manner.

Thereupon, Stone relaxed and his facial expression was replaced by curiosity. "About what?"

Y/N placed both of her hands on the table and leaned forward slightly. "What if I told you that Karen's Coffee is the perfect place for putting Robotnik's Manifesto to work?"

"How?"

"Simple. But not exactly that simple. That place would be a secret base but first, you have manage to do -somehow- all employees quit their job. For example, you're free to sell my father's machines to get money to buy that place. No need to pay back. Don't worry." she explained.

"I'm not gonna sell anything belongs to the Doctor. Forget about it, will you?"

She shrugged. "Okay... Maybe you have hidden money somewhere and you can use it? What do you say?"

"Unfortunately I don't have any hidden money, Y/N."

"Ugh! You don't help. But whatever! I think you able to can find a way to buy that place. And after a few modifications there will be still a lovely coffee shop except one thing: there's no employees but you. You'll be running the coffee shop by your own."

"And with a few little touch, the shop can turn into a total secret base..." Stone concluded her words. He thought about it for a second or two. "It might be work."

"No. It will work." she corrected him, grinning proudly.

Y/N's eyes lit up as she explained her plan and of course Stone noticed. She is a Robotnik, and just like the Doctor, she unconsciously wore the same pride when talking about her plans. Stone looked at the intelligent and beautiful woman in front of him, who didn't want to accept that she still had traces of her father, and smiled at her. It was a very genuine and sincere smile.

When Y/N stopped being proud of herself and looked at Stone, she felt something go on alert in her brain. She knew that what she said affected Stone, but she didn't realize that his reaction would affect her. She decided to do what she always did: change the subject and act like didn't care at all.

"I want pizza! Let's order pizza!" she said, straightened up.

Stone was still smiling as he picked up his phone. "I'm on it."
