selfrp​:

Korosensei, of course, was surprised by the fear in the other’s eyes. He was… In disguise, right-?! He did a quick check-over, relaxing visibly when he realized he was, in fact, still wearing his disguise. Good. He turned his attention back to the newcomer, hearing the squeal of the piglet and glancing down to it, then back up to the stranger.

The tears… At the thought of a school, a place that was meant to be a safe haven…! Korosensei couldn’t help but feel a bit of his heart twist as he paused in his steps, not daring to get closer. He reached a gloved tentacle out, before retracing it slightly.

“… Miss, I promise, there’s no one at the satellite campus other than my partner right now.” He tried to offer a reassuring smile. “The students and other faculty all went home for the day… And I just want to help, please…?” He held out the gloved tentacle, to see if she would actually take it- or if he’d need to just help her out here (harder, but not by much). “How can I forget seeing someone who needs help?”

He tilted his head, the other ‘hand’ going up to rub at the side of his head, as if in a questioning action. Really… What did this girl go through, that the thought of school left her in a panic? He could ask later. Right now, her health was a more pressing matter- the physical health, anyway. He could deal with the mental once they were back at the satellite campus…

“Besides, it is rather risky to stay out here… If you really want, I can try to help you here- but it would be safer if I helped you back at the building. Please?” This girl was puzzling him. The piglet seemed to want him to help, but she seemed as against it as vinegar and water. “If you want, I won’t tell anyone of our encounter- but I just can’t leave you injured like this! It would go against my oath as a teacher.” He shook his head.

If nothing else, he was going to try to help her- the injuries didn’t seem too bad, but they were a bit off-putting all the same. Any manner of injury in a place as filthy as a forest could be a potential death sentence if one wasn’t careful. Although really, that was true of any location… Still.

     The girl remained silent as the strange teacher spoke to her. She was unsure whether to trust this man or to just try and handle things on her own. What was the right option? Which one would keep her safe but also not make her uncomfortable? He didn’t seem like a bad person... But a lot of people can appear kind only to be truly cruel deep down.

     He was even offering to not tell anyone about meeting her. That was something she didn’t expect to hear, but it was also rather reassuring. Maybe she should truly think about trusting him. It wasn’t like she could really wash all the mud off of her or handle these injuries by herself. She couldn’t even look at the scratches, afraid of seeing the crimson liquid that kept her alive.

     Blue eyes stare at the gloved hand he was holding out to her, body trembling as she tried to go over all the possibilities that might occur if she accepted help. Her gaze then fell to the small animal in her arms, who was now looking at her. Splice wasn’t afraid of this teacher, which was a good sign. That meant he was trust worthy at least to the piglet. If Splice thought he was safe...maybe it was okay then.

     Aika took in a deep breath, doing her best to stay calm as her eyes once again rose towards the teacher. “...okay.. I-... I’ll follow you... Thank you, mister....” She slightly stuttered, keeping her voice quiet, as if afraid of being too loud. Hesitantly, she reached a hand out, taking his as she slowly rose to her feet, only slightly stumbling as she did so. She didn’t realize just how exhausted she truly was...

     “..just please...don’t tell anyone... I can’t...have anyone know...” She once again said, keeping her sight downward at the ground. She felt ashamed. Ashamed to be seen in such a weak state by someone she didn’t know. Ashamed to have to ask for help and accept it from this person. An adult shouldn’t be this shameful.

selfrp​:

Korosensei had been preparing to clean up the classroom for the day, setting up all the supplies. He would have gone at the speed of light, but some required more delicate touches than others.- So, he had slowed, doing the chore at a more reduced speed to keep from destroying the classroom as opposed to fixing it. Writer had been caught up in their papers for the evening, so he figured he’d stick around keep them company- somewhat. He was in another room, so of course it didn’t quite count as company, but he knew what they were like in ‘old, broken buildings’.

He was pulled from scrubbing the windows clean by the sounds of branches snapping. His head turned, a quiet ‘nyu?’ of confusion escaping him. The kids had all left for the day, as had Irina and Karasuma- so who was that? He was out of the building in a blink, tentacles wriggling as he listened.

Now that… That didn’t sound good. He left a note, pulling a medkit from the nurse’s room (long abandoned), before making his way towards the words as fast as he dared. Of course, this caused a rustling among the leaves as he sped, instantly close by the newcomer with curious eyes. He looked them over, spotting the dirt and the cuts and immediately deciding he needed to help. Of course, however, he was a well-kept government secret… So he took the opportunity to put on his human disguise, and stepped out of the bushes, carrying the med kit in hand as he went.

“Hello!” He waved cheerfully, before pausing as he ‘noticed’ the injuries the other had sustained. “Oh dear- oh my, miss- what happened to you?” He wasn’t even sure this was working. But either way, he wanted to help- and come Hell or high water, he would. “Did you come running up this mountain?” If she had, she really shouldn’t have- today had been the day before an assembly, which meant that the mountain was being booby-trapped as he spoke. He would, of course, not mess with those- his students needed practice, and traps were one way to get it.

He finally landed eyes on the strange piglet, and couldn’t stifle a happy squeal.

“Is that a piglet??” He breathed out. “Miss, what are you doing on a mountain- at sunset, with a piglet?” He tilted his head. “I really hope you weren’t running from something…!” Although there were a few wild predators out here… “I know of a school building nearby, if you let me help you get there, I can patch you up.” He needed somewhere a little more clean than the dirty forest floor to help. He could absolutely work with the forest floor, but it would be just a fraction harder, and he didn’t want to deal with it. But if the other couldn’t move, or something… Then of course, he’d have to.

And, obviously, once she was healed, he would be addressing her singing voice. Quite melodic, in his opinion!

     The young woman swore she heard the sound of rustling leaves suddenly, and she instantly went quiet, listening all around her in a moment of fear. Was something there..? Was that just a really strong gust of wind? ..did...did one of them follow her..? She clung to Splice a bit more, hesitant to ask if anyone was there. However, by the time she opened her mouth to do so, she saw a very strange looking person come out.

     Aika looked like a deer in headlights, eyes big in fear as she stared at the stranger. She didn’t realize there were people up here!! Yes, she knew that she had crossed into property of a school nearby, but she didn’t think anyone was actually up here! Was he a teacher? A facility member?? Either way, this wasn’t good for her...      When he asked what happened to her, she was quick to look away, ashamed and embarrassed of her appearance. All this mud and the scratches... She ran away so she wouldn’t be seen like this, and yet it still happened anyways. What was she even supposed to say in response? She didn’t know this person, nor could she really explain what happened.

     Splice on the other hand was not as wary of the newcomer as she was. In fact, he let out his own squeal after hearing the other do so. He may just be a piglet, but even he could tell a good person from a bad one. Though...was this really a person? Either way, he simply squeals and oinks at Korosensei, as if trying to ask him to help her. He was very worried by the looks of things.

     As soon as he mentioned the school, she finally snapped out of quiet state. “N-no!!” She cried out for a moment, pausing in fear. She could feel her heart racing and the tears coming once more. This was so shameful, crying in front of someone she didn’t even know. “..p-please, I... I don’t...want anyone to know... I can’t...go to any school...or people will ask...and then...”

     She was doing her best to try and stay calm, but her breathing was growing heavy and panicked. She clung to the small animal, trying to find the words. “I-I’m so sorry... I didn’t realize p-people were up here..! I-I’ll leave right away, just please, forget you saw me...!” She bowed her head, begging the other as tears started to fall. 

     Yes, she was grateful that someone had come along and wanted to help...but then they might ask questions. And if they ask questions, then... “Just please...forget you saw me.. Don’t tell anyone...please...”

Closed starter for @selfrp

    ...how long has she been running at this point? She didn’t really know anymore. All she really knew was that now she was lost. Lost in a place she wasn’t supposed to be at. Though, it wasn’t like she had much choice. She needed to get away. To hide away, just for a little bit.

    Tears stream down pale cheeks as a soft sniffle emerges from the intruder on the mountain, dress and covered in mud, and now scratches on her arms and legs from running through the branches. She had a bad bruise on her leg after recently tripping on a tree root, and in her arms was a very terrified and worried little piglet, whom she was doing her best to console as much as she could.

    The intruder? A young woman no taller than 4′9″ with short red hair, pale skin, and saddened blue eyes. While she could easily be mistaken for a junior high school student or even a high school student, she was in fact a college student. One that had been around the area for unfortunate reasons.

    Aika was doing her best to calm herself down, trembling slightly as she clutched her dear friend close to her chest. Even if she was scared, her priority was keeping him safe above all else. She needed to be strong and brave. There had to be a way off this mountain... But which way was she even supposed to go anymore...?

    Exhausted from a very stressful situation, she finally lowered herself against a nearby tree, holding back tears as she looked at her outfit. Of course it was just another prank... Another dirty, horrible, nasty prank. She had so much hope for a moment there, only for it to be dashed away in an instant.

    Blue eyes turn to her little friend, who by now was gently sniffing and grunting at her in concern. “..We’ll be safe here for now, buddy.. Just...stay in my arms, okay...?” She spoke softly to the animal, petting its head and back in attempt to calm him down. Despite how she wanted to say things would be okay, they honestly didn’t feel like it.

    “...Maybe...they were right... About what they said... Maybe...” She muttered a bit, drifting off for a moment as her heart tore apart. “...maybe we really are not wanted by anyone.” Saying that aloud was enough to make the tears fall again, the redhead doing her best to cease her crying.

    All she could hear was the sounds of Splice oinking at her in concern, and the sounds of the birds singing in the trees. Her gaze went upwards, biting down on her bottom lip. She needed to calm down. So, she opened her mouth...and just started to sing a little tune to herself, letting the melody calm her head and her heart.

    Aika sung one of her favorite songs, the one she always used to calm herself down. The semi-lullaby was soothing to the ears, and even though she was still crying a bit as she did so, it was slowly but surely helping her finally relax. She simply rested against the tree, singing to herself and to Splice. After all, no one would hear them on this mountain...right?

“Okay, Twinkle Park it is!”

The hedgehog grinned, speeding towards the city…it was then that the second half of her words hit him, he instantly felt his heart get all…bubbly-

The teen couldn’t help but smile, chuckling softly. “I feel the same way, Zinnia…We have a lot of fun together, y'know?” Sonic laughed, seeing the familiar city get closer and closer…Seeing Station Square again almost made him feel a bit…nostalgic.

“We have plenty of time, right? Who says we can’t hit up Twinkle Park and check out that speed spell of yours?”

“Yay! I cannot wait to get there! You must tell me what it looks like when we arrive. That way I can imagine it.” The girl exclaimed, giggling happily as she clung to her friend. She was really excited to finally go to Twinkle Park. It seemed like a very special place based on what little she had been told. As he spoke about feeling the same way, her cheeks grew a bit red, a sheepish smile forming on her face. That really made her happy to hear. She honestly felt really close to the other. It was nice to have such a wonderful friend, especially one who seemed to understand her so well. “We do have a lot of fun together.. I would not have it any other way.”

The pink hedgehog curled against him a bit more as they ran, heart racing in her chest as she kept her grip. She felt all warm inside. This feeling of joy just wouldn’t end, and she was unsure as to why. “Huh? Are you really sure...?” The girl asked, looking up slightly at him as he suggested trying out the spell. Zinnia gave a smile, nodding her head. If he wanted it, then she would do so. “Alright...! Then let’s go!!”  The blind teen closed her eyes tightly, clutching her necklace once again, imagining their speed increasing. Once again, something inside the heart locket appeared to glow a brightly. “Haste!!!” Instantly, Sonic’s speed would be boosted to be twice as fast. “WHOO!!!! Hahahah!!!”

[gardenofmxses]

justaguywholovesadventure​:

“Of course! We can run together whenever you want…”

The teen smiled, that same feeling of nervousness stirring in him…

“Hmmm…What do you want to do, Zinnia?”

The hedgehog asked, clearing his throat.

“…Since…y'know…It’s a date and all…I wanna make sure we do stuff *you* wanna do.”

Sonic awkwardly chuckled, doing his best to be romantic despite his total lack of any experience in doing so.

“I would really like that! It’s truly a lot of fun to run. I can understand more as to why you enjoy it so much. It makes me very happy to better comprehend why you like it as much as you do.” She exclaimed, her little tail wagging a bit as she smiled up at the other.

As he asked her about what she wanted to do, Zinnia looked a bit confused and stumped. She frowned a bit, trying to think. What did she want to do..? She didn’t really think about it all that much. She was mainly happy to be spending time with the other teen. Besides, she didn’t entirely know much else about his world, so she couldn’t truly ask for anything in particular.

“Well...perhaps we can look at this Twinkle Park you spoke of? I am most curious to learn more about it. But in all honesty, I am happy doing whatever you wish. Simply being beside you and spending time with you is enough for me.” She said, smiling at the other.

[gardenofmxses]

 justaguywholovesadventure​:

Sonic felt his cheeks burn as she asked her question, his ears twitch, his heart pounding…all of the telltale signs of a flustered hedgehog. He glanced away from her for a moment, nearly tripping due to his distraction…but thankfully regaining his composure, taking a deep breath.

“Of course, Zinnia…”

The teen smiled, speaking in a gentle tone.

“Anytime you want to go on runs like this…or even just spend time with me…Just let me know and I’ll be there in a flash, okay?”

Zinnia could feel Sonic’s heart pounding more than before. Why was it doing that..? Was it because of all the running and the speed? Or was it because of something else...? Part of her wanted to ask. Either way, the sound of his heartbeat felt...nice... It was soothing, in a way.

“I would really love that, Sonic. I hope I can do runs like this with you more often. It makes me really happy. More so than usual. I feel so...free. I don’t think I want it to ever end...”

Her cheeks grew more red as she admitted this, feeling a bit shy for some reason. Why was this? She isn’t entirely sure...

“Either way, would you like to start heading towards this Twinkle Park you mentioned..? Or would you rather continue running like this for a bit longer?”

[gardenofmxses]

justaguywholovesadventure​:

“Okay! You’re the boss!”

The hedgehog grinned, making another jump in speed…despite how fast they were moving, it was clear that Sonic had complete control over his movements.

He listened to her suggestion…She really wanted to go fast, didn’t she? Well, he wasn’t one to argue against going fast-

“Sure thing! Just don’t overwork yourself, okay? Unless you want me to carry you all over Twinkle Park too-”

He held her close, a permanent smile stuck on his face. He had gone on runs like this all the time, faster than this even…and he had always felt a sense of peace when doing so…but he had never quite felt this level of joy before. He didn’t want it to end, and he could tell that Zinnia felt the same…Was this what all that dating and romance stuff was like?

The girl cheered happily as their speed boosted once again, the sound of the wind much louder than before. It was starting to hurt her ears a bit, but she didn’t care. She was too happy to care. Never in her life has she felt so...free.

“O-oh, yes... That’s a good point... I’d rather not burden you with that deed. Yet I’m still so curious..! This is too cruel!!” The girl cried out in laughter, unable to stop smiling. She honestly had forgotten all about going to the park. She had been having so much fun running around. 

“In that case, can we go on a run together again some time..?” She asked, growing a bit sheepish as her eyes looked to him. She didn’t know why, but the thought of doing this again with him just really made her happy. “I really like being able to see things from your point of view. Even if I cannot truly see it with my own eyes...I can at least feel it, and it’s so far a much better feeling than anything else I have experienced in life.”

Is this what romance is like? She was still so unfamiliar with it all, and yet...it felt so warm. She didn’t want it to stop. Part of her was afraid of this feeling going away. She wanted to continue experiencing it as much as she could today.

[gardenofmxses]

justaguywholovesadventure​:

“Woohoo! Havin’ fun, Zinnia?”

The energetic boy asked with a smirk, already knowing the answer based on her reactions so far. She really loved this sense of excitement and freedom…almost as much as Sonic himself loved it. Something about that made him feel all warm and soft inside…It was a strange feeling, but a good one. He tightened his grip on her, being extra careful to not drop her.

“Doin’ good so far! Is this a good pace for you? Or are you ready to take things even higher?”

Sonic asked, noticeably excited to share more of how he saw the world with Zinnia.

“Yes!! I am having a lot of fun!! This is so exciting!!!” She exclaimed, laughing happily as she held onto the boy. Her cheeks were a bright rosy red and her smile was from ear to ear at this point, so overjoyed that she could barely contain herself.

“Please go faster!! I want to keep going as fast as you can!” Zinnia said, giggling as readied herself for even more speed to be added. They weren’t even at the amusement park, and yet she was already entertained by the other. This date stuff was fun!

“I know I’m supposed to be recharging my energy, but I have an idea you might like!! There’s a spell that makes a person move twice as fast! So what will happen if you’re top speed and under the effects of a spell like that!? I’m curious to see! What about you??” The pink hedgehog suggested, having to raise her voice from how loud the wind was starting to become as it was. She knew this would probably really hurt her ears later, but...she was too happy to care.

This warm feeling in her chests wouldn’t stop. She was full of glee! And she could tell Sonic was enjoying this just as much as she was. She wanted to make him happier. To really ensure he was enjoying himself. That was all she could ask for. So surely something like this would be up his alley.

[gardenofmxses]

justaguywholovesadventure​:

“W-Well I mean-”

Sonic stammered, not having been prepared for that question. Thankfully, her continued speech saved him from having to stutter his way out of it.

“Heh! So you want fast, huh?”

The teen asked, his tone radiating with energy and confidence. Was she really that excited to go at his speed? This couldn’t have gotten better for the blue hedgehog. He readied himself to kick things up a notch, figuring that this way if things did get a bit too fast, she’d be able to tell him to slow down.

“Hold on tight then!”

And with that, their speed suddenly jumped higher, the rush of wind around them intensifying…despite the speed he was moving at, his protective yet gentle hold on Zinnia remained secure.

He seemed to be rather quick to go around her first question and the things she said regarding romance. Why was that? Did the subject make him uncomfortable...? She hoped it didn’t. She’ll have to ask him about it later, to make sure she didn’t do anything that upset him.

Zinnia snapped out of her thoughts as she heard the confidence in his tone. She blinked her eyes a tad, wondering what she might have possibly put herself into. Even so, the fact that it was so unknown made her feel excited..! Surely it was very enjoyable to run so fast, and she was thrilled to experience it for herself.

As she felt the rush of wind intensify, her hands gripped onto him a bit more simply out of instinct, yet her face and eyes held no fear. In fact, she was exactly the opposite. The look of pure exhilaration was undeniable. It was like she was soaring through the sky..! 

“Oh my!! It’s so fast!” She declared, laughing a bit as she felt her quills flail wildly from the breeze. As their speed was now much faster than it had been before, the girl couldn’t help but want to try something. Gathering all of her courage and knowing that he had a tight hold on her, Zinnia let her arms go and held them up above her head.

“Whoo!!! Ahahaha!!! It’s like we’re flying!~” Even if it was something so small, joy was bursting from her from this simple action. It felt so adventurous to her to simply let him go in that manner. Of course, she did hold onto him after a bit, yet her laughter didn’t stop. “I love this!!! It’s so awesome!!!”

[gardenofmxses]

justaguywholovesadventure​:

“Oh this? I can go way faster when I really want to! It wouldn’t really be a very romantic stroll if I did that though, right?”

The hedgehog joked, laughing as he carried her. He ran through he various terrain throughout the ruins, forests, mountains, plenty of locations with a cool, grassy breeze rushing through them.

“Just let me know if it gets to be too much, alright?” He smiled, keeping her close. She looked happy as ever…but he could feel her heart beating against him…was she scared? He didn’t mean to scare her-

“Romantic..? This is supposed to be romantic..??” Zinnia questioned, starting to wonder more. Is this what romance is supposed to be like? If so...it was rather nice so far. She liked this romance feeling. She couldn’t help but smile.

“Well, even so, I know you like to go fast. Isn’t it an important part of romance for the people you care about to be happy? If that’s the case, I’d rather do what makes you happiest.” She stated, her smile only growing as her ears fell backwards a bit. 

“Besides, I am curious about how fast the world goes by for you! I’ll be fine, so long as you are happy! That is all I could ask for. And so far this is very thrilling! I cannot see it for myself, but at least I can feel!” The teen exclaimed, laughing a bit more as she kept a hold on him, her head on his chest in a relaxed manner. 

[gardenofmxses]

justaguywholovesadventure​:

“"H-Huh? Adorable?”

The hedgehog felt his cheeks flush, the tips of his ears warming as they perked up once again. Normally he’d feel more embarrassed or defensive on the matter…but seeing how happy it made her gave him a sense of peace.

“I don’t mind! As long as you don’t forget who the really adorable one is!” Sonic teased, chuckling to himself.

“Slow me down?”

The teen instinctively tilted his head, ears twitching as she finished talking.

“Don’t worry about stuff like that! The only thing here that can slow us down is the train ride…Which is why…”

With a mischeivous smirk, Sonic suddenly scooped Zinnia into his arms, holding her close and securely.

“I say we do things my way! Get ready!”

And with that, Sonic sped off to Station Square, moving at a speedy but comfortable pace for Zinnia’s sake.

“Really adorable one?” She questioned, a smile forming on her face as she began giggling once more. She just couldn’t contain her joy at this rate, looking at him so fondly. “You are quite the....I believe ‘charmer’ is the word...? Yes, that is the one that I recall. I cannot stop my joy from growing if you continue to say such things.”

Zinnia then became a bit confused as he told her not to worry about slowing him down. She was going to ask exactly what he meant, only to release a small squeak of surprise as she was suddenly scooped up by the other teen. Her face grew a little red, as it happened completely out of nowhere. She could feel she was close to the other, and wrapped her arms around him by instinct, simply to help her feel much more secure.

“O-okay..! I am as ready as I will ever be!” She exclaimed, a sheepish smile forming on her face. Why was her heart beating so fast? Is it because she feels nervous about what this may be like? Or was it being this close to someone?? She didn’t understand why it was pounding like a drum in this manner.

The blind girl felt them moving much faster than she expected. She clung onto him, yet she was in complete awe by how swiftly they were moving. The wind was blowing through her quills in a way she never experienced before. She felt such a thrill that she had never felt before. It was incredible.

The smile that was on her face right now was bigger than it had been ever before. Even if she could not see the world in this manner, she still felt a rush from going this fast. “This is incredible! It feels like we are the wind itself!!” She exclaimed, laughing so joyfully. For all she knew, this was as fast as Sonic could go, and she seemed to be enjoying the speed much more to her usually calm lifestyle.

“Is this how fast you are always able to go? No wonder your life is so full of adventures!!”

[gardenofmxses]

justaguywholovesadventure​:

The teenager felt his cheeks heat up a bit as he watched her…she was so…cute...was that the word? He wasn’t used to these things…

He shook his head, snapping out of it as she finished.

“Well, I’m glad you love it!”

Sonic laughed, lightly patting her head once again…He felt his little pointed ears perking up, along with his little tail softly wagging…why was he feeling all jittery around her? Ignoring that for now, the Hedgehog quickly shoved his own meal into his mouth, making quick work of it. “Well, that was great!”

Sonic hopped up, stretching his back and letting out a little squeak.

“It’s always nice to go for a run after a meal though…You ready?”

The hedgehog smirked, holding out a hand for Zinnia.

Her head turned towards his direction as she heard him get up and squeak from stretching. She started to crack a smile, only to begin giggling a tad. “A-Ah! Apologies. I couldn’t help myself. The noise you made just now was rather adorable. It was hard to resist a small laugh. I hope that is alright...”

Her heart was beating so much faster than usual. The joy within her body was much different than what she was used to. She didn’t know why she was so happy right now. Was it because she was going on an adventure without Mother? Or was it because she was with him? 

Being around the other teen seemed to make her always feel so...strange. She didn’t know how else to describe the emotions. It always felt like she floating in the air, and that there were a million butterflies within her stomach. Yet at the same time, she was so happy that it felt almost like she was living in some sort of dream. If it was one, she didn’t ever want to wake up... If she had the choice, she’d rather keep living in this bliss for the rest of her life.

Zinnia finally snapped out of her own thoughts, and she gave a shy smile, gently nodding her head to the blue hedgehog’s question. “Ah, yes. I would absolutely love that, Sonic...”

She could feel her face heating up as she placed her hand in his, standing up to her feet. “I do hope I don’t slow you down. Please inform me if I do.”

“Hey, no need to thank me for being honest! Y'know?”

The teen smiled, happy that his words managed to bring her some comfort.

His smile curled into a toothy grin as he saw her excitement for the food. He loved how cheerful and excited she was around him, it gave the hedgehog a strange feeling in his chest…it was hard to describe…but if he had to, he would describe it as fluttery.

“That’s what I like to hear! Be careful with it!”

He gently took her hand, placing the chilidog in her palm. There was a little napkin under it to keep it clean.

“I will!” The girl responded merrily, feeling the chilidog being placed into her hands. She was very gentle as she tried to get a feel for the shape of the object, mainly to figure out how she was supposed to eat it. It seemed to be a food that was eaten with one’s hands, and by the shape of it, she eats it from the ends.

The pink hedgehog raised it to her lips and took a bite of the chilidog, chewing it in her mouth as she felt very unfamiliar tastes. Her eyes widen, and her tail instantly went max speed. “This is so tasty...!! I have never had anything quite like this!!” She exclaimed, taking a few more bites out of it.

Zinnia was practically swaying back and forth where she was sitting, moving her feet a bit just from how joyful she was. She kept making an ‘mmmm’ sound as she ate, very pleased and entertained right now. Then again, it was rather easy for her to be entertained by small things such as new food.

It took her only a few minutes for her to finish eating, the teen letting out a small yet very satisfied sigh. “That was exquisite!~ I absolutely loved that! I believe as you put it, it tasted very ‘radical’!” She was very pleased to use one of the words that she learned from the other, already feeling her energy coming back from eating. 

“I believe I finally understand why you enjoy these so much. That was truly such an amazing meal!”

He smiled softly, lightly patting her head.

“Zinnia…I’ll always think you look great, with or without your scars…”

He gently ruffled her fur, chuckling softly.

“I don’t think you need to feel ashamed of them…Scars don’t have to bad…Sometimes they can be proof of how strong you are. A way to show people that when you fall, you pick yourself back up…Let it be a sign of strength.”

The hedgehog spoke in a gentle and soft tone…It was clear his words were sincere…

“This? It’s a chilidog! One of the best things the world has to offer!”

The teen explained, a toothy grin on his face as he saw her reaction to the scent. He could already tell she would love it.

“Eating nice food is kind of a date thing…and when I think of the best food around, this is what comes to mind! Plus I figured it would be a good chance to show off some things I like in my world!”

As lackluster of a gift as a chilidog is…From someone like Sonic, it was pretty clear that his heart was put into it.

Zinnia felt his hand lightly pat her head, ruffling her fur a bit. Her cheeks turned a bit red as she closed her eyes, smiling happily from the attention. Her ears went flat against her head, tail wagging excitedly. She was beaming with joy from this kind words and head pats.

It made her feel so cheerful as he told her not to be ashamed of her scars. That someone so kind could look past them and see these ugly things as marks of strength instead. These words made her heart soar, as well as assisted her in feeling more confident in her appearance. Perhaps she had been so worried for nothing then.

“Thank you, Sonic... That really means a lot for me to hear. You always seem to know what to say. Your words seem to have a sort of magic within them that I do not yet understand, seeing as they always appear to cheer up the people around you.”

Her eyes open once again as she listened to him explain what the delicious smell was. So this is the scent of a chilidog. What an interesting aroma. It smelled absolutely amazing.

“I see... Eating good food is a date thing... I shall keep this in mind! I would be very interested then in tasting this chilidog that you have acquired then, if possible. It smells delectable! And if it is a food that you enjoy, then it surely must be delicious!”

Sonic had been relaxing in the Mystic Ruins for a few hours now…despite normally being so energetic that it was hard to even keep him in one place for too long, he was surprisingly calm and patient today…yes the ruins were home to his best friend (and local genius) Tails, and yes he had paid the twin tailed fox a visit while he was in the area…but surprisingly, that wasn’t his only reason for visiting the ruins today. For the first time in his life, Sonic the Hedgehog was on an actual date, and a somewhat normal one at that. No pink Hedgehogs getting kidnapped by robotic doubles, no crazy robots hunting down birds, and no wizards whisking him off into magical stories about knights and chivalry. Just a normal, regular, date…with a girl from another world. How he got himself into this was a hit…complicated. However, Sonic was prepared to tackle it with his usual “Whatever happens, happens” outlook that had always worked for him. He just wanted to make Zinnia feel happy. The blue hedgehog was enjoying a relaxing stroll through the forest, two chilidogs in hand…it was then that he suddenly saw a flash of light in the distance. Immediately realizing what it was, he rushed to the source. Once he arrived, he had found the sight he had expected. Zinnia was within the vicinity of the ancient temple, deep within the forest. Sonic smiled, approaching his date.

“Hey! Glad I brought something to eat with me…I guess I forgot how draining big spells like that can be!”

The teen spoke warmly, gently taking her hand and helping her up…he noticed her appearance…she looked different than usual, not just her clothes, but details of her appearance as well. She had gone out of her way to do this for him, he had to say something!

“Come on Zinnia, the floor is no place for a pretty girl like you!” That felt…awkward. Not because he was lying or anything like that her, in fact it was quite the opposite…She was pretty, and Sonic had gotten himself into a situation where he was taking a pretty girl on a date…As you would expect of someone who never really considered romance, much less dealt with it, this whole situation made him feel both excited, as well as uncharacteristically nervous. Gently holding her hand, he led the pink hedgehog to the stairway of the temple, deciding they could sit there while she recovered her stamina.

“No need to rush…Let’s just get your strength back okay?…In the meantime…”

The hedgehog placed one chilidog in his lap, holding out the other one for her…she had no way of seeing it, but it was still very fresh, emanating a steamy warmth, the combination of scents drifting off of it.

“Are you hungry?”

The pink hedgehog had been enjoying the brief silence, up until she heard the sound of the wind picking up nearby. Her ears instantly perked up in surprise, hearing none other than the voice of the blue hedgehog. Even with how tired she was, Zinnia couldn’t contain her joy to know that her spell had worked, as well as that her precious friend was here. She gave a big closed eyed smile, facing the other’s direction.

“Oh, Sonic!! Thank goodness... I was afraid that perhaps I had gotten the wrong place or zone... I’m so happy to hear your voice, as well as know my spell was successful! Though...it was a lot more tiring than expected...” She cheerily exclaimed, albeit sounding very tired when she spoke.

Though, as he called her pretty so suddenly, her eyes opened once more in surprise. Beautiful emerald gleams stared at him in such shock, as if processing what he had said. Her? Pretty? Did she actually look pretty...? Or was he just being kind, as he usually is? Either way, it seemed to have made her a bit flustered, glancing down with a slightly reddened face and a sheepish smile.

“Um..thank you..! I have not been called pretty before... I have never considered myself so, especially with the scars on my face... I tried to use a spell to cover them up temporarily, but it appears that was unsuccessful..” The girl responded, feeling a bit self conscious of her own appearance now. She hoped she looked okay. She didn’t want to stand out, after all.

The teen felt herself helped up by the other, her hand in his as she was brought towards the steps so they could sit down and she could recover her strength. She gave a gentle smile, touched that he was helping her regain her energy. “Thank you, Sonic. I appreciate the concern. I should be okay soon, but I have a feeling I may need assistance returning to my home when this is all done.”

Zinnia sniffled the air a bit, now smelling something she didn’t recognize. She closed her eyes and sniffed around a bit, her little nose wiggling up and down as she did so. Her eyelids opened again as she tilted her head at her date. A rumble from her stomach appears to have answered his question.

“What is that smell..? It’s so strange. I have never smelled anything quite like it.”
