The Overthinking Embodiment Of Anxiety / Leo x Gender Neutral ! Reader .
THERE WERE MANY TIMES THAT LEO WOULD GRIMACE AND SHRIVEL UP INTO HIS OWN EMBODIMENT OF EMBARRASSMENT. But, him asking for [Name's] number in the stupidest way possible has got to be at the very top of his list. That was pretty much the only thing circling through his head, as he was currently screaming into his pillow profusely. Which was luckily muffled out.
He was currently freaking out, because somehow: Leo just happened to not only fail at leaning against the locker to the ‘awesome rizz’ he claims to have, as school today. But, he also couldn’t stop himself from stammering over his words.
In all honesty, he was one second away from puking onto [Name]. However, a quick: “I’m gonna…gonna be sick. I’ll be in the bathroom, if you need me!” managed to only further embarrass Leo, as he wasn’t able to meet up with [Name] for the rest of that day and apologise profusely for what it did.
Right now, he was still screaming urgently into his pillow, until Raph threw a pillow at him and urged him to ‘shut it up, and go get some sleep’. It was almost 3AM, and his brothers couldn’t even use their phones properly in peace to just roam about the Internet, because Leo’s screaming was consistently ruining Donnie’s Attack On Titan binge-fest Marathon, Mikey’s podcast of his favourite comedians and Raph’s blasting music that he raised up to deafen himself from Leo’s stressed out antics.
Thankfully, Leo stopped his screaming session, as soon as he felt his phone vibrate and ping from a notification popping up. He didn’t really think much into it, thinking it to be a Netflix notification. But, him choking on his own spit just proved it wasn’t even that: [Name] had sent him a message.
Almost immediately, Leo was staring intently at his phone: hesitantly clicking the notification and his phone opened up onto the messaging app.
[Name]: wassup Leo, you good after puking and throwing up in the bathroom? 😭
Leo grimaced at the teasing message, rest his head onto his other pillow, an audible sigh left him, staring up at the ceiling. “They definitely laughed after that…” With a reluctant sigh, Leo responded back.
Leo: heya [Name] & i’m all chilled out now, thanks for asking! and, sorry about that 😕 i got nervous and freaked out there
[Name]: dw mate, it’s all good & hey, at least we can chat here and still laugh abt it together later on 👍
Leo blinked mildly, clutching the phone tightly to himself, his legs wiggled about for a mere second, not able to contain his excitement. A dazed grin appeared onto his face, happily and quickly responding to [Name].
Leo: that’s sound great & i was actually wondering about something i wanted to ask you @ school before, but couldn’t today 😶
[Name]: aight👌, shoot the question @ me then man
This was when Leo kept on constantly typing for a really-really long time, to then just delete major parts of his prolonged paragraph he was wounding up in the text box. He gritted his teeth and slanted them, a nerve-wracking feeling swelled up inside of him, before he finally deleted his whole paragraph and then sent:
Leo: it’s nothing, dw
goodnight, [Name]!
[Name]: goodnight dude!!
Leo sighed, turning off his phone and he laid comfortably on his bed. He felt immensely disappointed in himself for chickening out at the last moment. But, he then remembered:
He got [Name’s] number and even managed to chat with them for a good amount of time, without even sending any stupid typos he overthought on himself to make.
A sigh of relief whipped out of his mouth from that, smiling softly in his sleep. Leo was fine with just trying to go on a date hangout with [Name] again, next time.
He’d have better luck asking them out successfully, next time.
NoOOOO maybe its a lil silly but its rubi or bee / beescool 😭 promise im not stalking u or nun i literally found u in the comments of a miles fic, gotta say u got good taste lmfaoo.
OMD HI I'M GLAD TO HEAR FROM YA && All these miles fic ARE REALLY GOOD ! I RARELY COMMENT AS WELL , so it's a surprise that you found me but I'M HAPPY ABT IT dw !!
Imma do one now , just to celebrate you sending this message to me 🤩🤩 && AND bc you called me out on looking at miles fics 😭😭
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MILES DIDN'T THINK OF HIMSELF TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS [ NAME ] , AS HE WAS BOUND TO SCREW UP SOMETHING AND ULTIMATELY DESTROY ANY WAY OF HIM EVEN TRYING TO REMOTELY IMPRESS [ NAME ] . The latter teen seemed to not be paying any mind to how Miles was constantly taking prolonged ( and blatantly obvious ) glimpses at them , while he was supposed to keep his eyes on the cookbook .
[ Name ] did pay attention to what was on the cookbook , well they truly did try to . But , as they pressed their lips against a thin line : they ultimately snatched the cookbook that Miles was supposed to pay attention , and they threw it towards a window . However , the window didn't even smash from that impact , as the cookbook bounced off from it and fell down to the floor .
Miles flailed his arms about , standing upright , visibly jumpy and awfully confused as to why [ Name ] even decided to do that .
" Uh ━ Why'd you do that for ? " Miles uttered out the question , his eyebrows furrowed with a heavy amount of concern , keeping his peering look onto [ Name ] .
Without a gasp of a breath , [ Name ] rushed about the kitchen and started to gather out random pots , pans , wooden spoons , whisks and plates .
Okay , the whole rushing thing was starting to freak out Miles , a bit .
Nevermind , it was freaking him out , a lot .
[ Name ] was frantically going all over their kitchen , but they came to an abrupt stop , because of Miles grabbing their shoulders and shaking them ferociously . " [ Name ] ! Are you alright ? ━ What are you trying to do ? "
[ Name ] blinked mildly , surprised by the sudden contact , but they gently pushed down Miles' arms and a small laugh left them . " Don't worry yourself , brochacho ! " With that chilled━out comment of endearing reassurance , [ Name ] brought their hands up and smooshed up Miles' cheeks ━ while holding on a drooped look with a dazy smile of relaxation . Miles widened his eyes involuntarily at this action , an anxious smile wobbled onto his face , that said━face of his was starting to slowly grow warm .
" Woah . . . Your face is sooo warm , dude . " [ Name ] stated in a chilled━out and monotone toning of voice , moving their hands back with bewilderment displayed all over their features . Miles grimaced , embarrassment overtaking himself , wavering his arms in a flurry , stumbling a few steps back .
" Oh , me ? Uh ━ Pfft , well . . . It's just , very━very . . . very hot in here ! Can't just be me , right ? " Miles tried to act all nonchalant and lean back on a part of the kitchen counter to act all cool , but he slipped a bit and folded his arms , squeezing up his face with utter disdain .
[ Name ] raised an eyebrow , but quickly shrugged . " Eh . . . Mkay , dude ━ whatever you say . Anywho , we don't need the cookbook : we can do it all by ourselves and be great at this cooking ━ "
" Baking . "
" Same thing . But , we can be great at it too ! "
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THEY WEREN'T GREAT AT BAKING WITHOUT THE COOKBOOK . In fact , they weren't even remotely close to managing to bake any cupcakes or cake at all in the course of that day .
Because , now : there was noises of a repetition on freaking out , screaming and running around the kitchen , as a pan was blooming with a fire and smoke emerging from it . Well , only Miles was freaking out and trying to put out the fire quickly with buckets of water .
[ Name ] happened to be the one that was watching the fire with a dazed look , putting on a marshmallow on their fork and holding it near the fire . Their eyes glistened at the flames , but they were immediately tackled down , when the flames were about to start burning them .
[ Name ] let out a pained grunt , landing on their back , still holding onto the fork that had a flaming marshmallow stuck to it . Blinking mildly , their face held a confused look at it being Miles that tackled them down . Once the flames on their marshmallow burned out : [ Name ] took a bite out of it and spoke up to Miles .
" That was a radical tackle , man . Like , something out of a comic or an action movie , dude . But , uh . . . Can you , like get off of me , please ? "
Miles widened his eyes , scrambling back away from [ Name ] and he scratched the back of his neck with a bashful look . On the other hand , [ Name ] stood up and took another bite on their marshmallow , filled a blue cup with tap water and splashed it over the remaining flames .
Miles let out a sigh of relief , rubbing any sweat from his forehead and he stood himself up ( with the help of [ Name ] hoisting him up with their arm ) . The two of them looked at the destruction they both managed to cause , as [ Name ] took another bite into their burnt marshmallow .
" Mmh , these are totally delicious . Wanna try some ? " They nudged Miles , who politely declined .
" No ━ No , thanks . But , shouldn't we clean up this mess , before your auntie and uncle come back home ? "
" Hm , yeah : you're right , dude . What a smart suggestion ! " [ Name ] lifted up their shoulders , as if they had made an airheaded revelation at what Miles said . The corner of their lips upturned into a grin , as they playfully bumped their shoulder into Miles . " Where would I be without my brochacho , huh ? "
" I dunno , brochacho . " Miles countered━back , a grin spreading among his face . And with that , the two of them fell into a bundle of contagious laughter , as they started to get to cleaning up . They were definitely not going to be baking again for a while , now .
But , they got a burnt marshmallow out of it , at least .

[GIFS NOT MINE]
I M A G I N E - - 1 ; ;
You want to take some of Knuckles' grapes, but he won't allow it.
This is how it might go...
WARNINGS ;; NONE, JUST ADORABLE FLUFF FOR THESE 2 IMAGINES!
"Can I--"
"No."
"May I--"
"Nope."
"Just one, Knux!" A whine left the [Animal Name's] lips, as they groaned in exasperation and rested their head on the table.
The echidna clutched the bowl of grapes to himself, shaking his head and started to eat his grapes. "I'm afraid not, [Name]. Tom has assigned these grapes in my grasp, and mine alone."
[Name] pouted playfully at the echidna, tapping their chin in thought. "Sooo, can't I trade you anything for those grapes?"
"Nope." Knuckles sternly stated, shaking his head yet again and focused on eating his grapes. He thought that would be the end of [Name's] antics, but what they said next caught him off-guard, as a whole.
"Soooo....You wouldn't want to give away those grapes for a kiss?" An eye ridge was raised teasingly, at the flustered echidna that held a furious look of embarrassment on his face.
"Wh-WHAT?! NO!" He banged his fist against the kitchen table in retaliation, turning away from the teasing [Animal Name] to not show his flustered look.
[Name] grinned slyly at this, taking this as an opportunity to slip up a peck on the echidna's cheek, Knuckles' eyes widened as wide as space-saucers.
The sly [Colour] mobian then takes it as their chance to snatch away the grapes. They started to running off with them, laughing to themselves, as they left the shocked red mobian.
Knuckles was still sitting down on the kitchen stool, his dominant gloved hand was on his cheek of where [Name] did the crime of giving him a kiss there. His mouth was slightly open, agape.
Swallowing in his breath, the ongoing warmth didn't leave the echidna's cheeks, as he was brought back to his attention on the fact that [Name] was getting away with his bowl of grapes.
"[NAME]!"
.

I M A G I N E - - 2 ; ;
'The Adventures of Young Knuckles + Young [Name]!' : Young Knuckles and young [Name] head on over to the river to try catch some fish.
This is how it'll go...
"[Name], how are you so fast?"
"That's easy! I'm the greatest of all, that's why!"
"That's not true!" The young echidna fired back, as the two were jumping across the small, rushing river by jumping on the rocks. "My father is the greatest of all!"
"Well, that is true....Then, I'm the third greatest of all!" [Name] raised their fist into the air triumphantly, before falling onto the river. The two stared at each other in silence for a bit, before bursting out into laughter.
Shaking themselves off, [Name] got out from the river and grabbed her spear from the red echidna.
"Why the third and not the second?" Knuckles raised an eye ridge, quite curious for the [Animal Name's] answer, as the two trekked onwards and slowly came to a stop by the river.
"Because, if your father is the greatest of all: that should leave room for my father to be the second greatest of all! Leaving me, third place! I thought, you were smart, Knux!"
The young echidna puffed his cheeks in annoyance at this, narrowing his eyes and jeered his spear up to the surface of the river, readying himself. "I am smart, and I thought, I told you to--"
"--'stop calling you that', right?" [Name] questioned impatiently, mocking Knuckles in the inquiring moment and they laughed. "Yeah-Yeah, I know, Knucklehead."
"Knucklehead?!"
"Yeah!" [Name] grinned, sending the annoyed echidna a flashy smile. As they faced the river, they started to quickly jab their spear into the water. Splashing water was going about onto them, as the fish that came nearby were scurrying away.
Young Knuckles noticed this, widening his eyes and pushed [Name] away gently. "No-No, stop!"
Young [Name] held a confused look, raising an invisible brow and let out a noise of confusion. "Huh? Why?"
"Because, you're scaring the fish away. You have to wait--"
"But, waiting is so boori-i-i-i-ing!"
The red echidna rolled his eyes at this, sighing through his nose. "You don't have to catch them yourself, I'll catch them."
[Name] let out an annoyed huff, tossing their spear away next to time and sat down with a huff. Resting their hands on their side of their face, they ended up dozing off.
The sound of a fish being splattered about with water splashing on [Name's] face was heard upon Knuckles' ears. He nudged the dozing [Animal Name] up, as they stood up abruptly and looked at him with confusion.
"Huh?"
"Here." He sternly said, giving the rattling fish to them, still holding it in one hand. Knuckles looked away, almost too embarrassed to even look at them.
[Name] looked at the fish, then at Knuckles and they smiled a toothy grin. Taking the fish, they then hugged Knuckles.
You, a human, end up meeting the fiery-echidna, Knuckles. But, you both meet through a quite embarrassing form of way.
This is how it might go...
WARNINGS ;; NONE, JUST AN EMBARRASSING WAY OF MEETING.
[Name] placed their hands roughly in their pockets, trekking along the cobblestone ground and let out a deep sigh.
Their posture was slumped slightly, glancing around the area they were at. Their parents had forced them out from the house to quote-unquote; 'get some fresh air'.
[Name] rolled their eyes at the memory, a scoff leaving their lips and continued trudging along the place. They found themselves nearby the baseball field, whistling to themselves and bopped their head to a small beat they were playing out in their head.
Though, their whistling slowly whizzed to a stop from a sudden gush of wind. A raised brow appeared on the [boy's | girl's | person's] face, as they looked around and merely shrugged to themselves.
As they walked on, they were quickly knocked down. A sharpened pain filled them on their right cheek, stumbling back onto the floor.
"Agh..." A hiss of pain left [Name], trying to touch their cheek, but flinched visibly from the very touch of it. Their eyes were half-lidded from how painful the impact of whatever the object was to them.
Looking around, they saw something beside them on the ground:
A baseball.
An irritated groan was heard from [Name], as they listened in and heard a chorus of other noises in the distance;
"Ah, Knuckles, you've done it again!"
"Nice power punch, man!"
"Be a pal, and go fetch the ball, alright?"
"I shall go onwards with my quest to retrieve the basing-ball! I will not fail this quest!"
Then, the sound of footsteps only got louder and [Name] grabbed the baseball, getting up and started heading towards the footsteps.
Then, the two figures came to a stop as they faced each other. A red echidna and a human were now both staring each other down.
"You." [Name] started, pointing at the echidna, before pointing to the bruise on their right cheek. "Caused this."
Knuckles widened his eyes, going on one knee and bowed his head down in shame. "I solemnly apologise, fellow human. I was having...the fun!"
[Name's] left eye twitched in utter confusion, shaking their head and tried pulling the echidna up. "Get up. Why are you on one knee? What are you trying to do: propose?"
The small-minded joke only brought bewilderment to the echidna's face, as he hastily got himself up from the floor.
"The name's [Name]. Oh, and; here." The [Hair Colour]-haired [boy | girl | person] tossed the baseball to Knuckles, which the red echidna fumbled around for the ball and cupped it in his hands.
Holding the ball in one glove of his, Knuckles used the other to strike his chest in introducing himself. "I am Knuckles, the Echidna Warrior. Trained since birth in all forms of combat--"
"Hm, nice-nice." [Name] quickly interrupted, wavering their hand in a dismissive manner and looked around. "Don't you have some people to get back to?"
The red mobian was slightly caught off-guard from the question, sheepishly nodding in response and turned. As he started walking back, he glanced back at [Name] and cleared his throat.
Realising that the echidna warrior was wanting to invite [Name] to join over, they shook their head. "Uh, no-no! I don't--"
"I insist, dear [Name]. I want to apologise deeply for my actions when I was going through the course of the fun."
Letting out a prolonged sigh, [Name] realised that the echidna might not leave them off from this case. So, they nodded slowly and tagged along with the echidna.
"Sooo...." The [Hair Colour]-haired [boy | girl | person] started, trying to break off the silence from the walk. "What types of combat are you trained in?"

[GIF NOT MINE]
I M A G I N E ; ;
Young Knuckles and young you are just trying to catch a frog.
This is how it might go...
WARNINGS ;; NONE, JUST SOME ADORABLE FLUFF.
Ribbit! The frog croaked, sitting by the creak of a sturdy log. A fly whizzed by, but it was retracted into the frog's mouth very quickly. And, the green-spotted frog continued croaking.
Ribbit!
A set of violet eyes and [Eye Colour] eyes were peeking through the bushes. Shuffling about in the bushes caught the frog's attention, as it ribbited yet again and hopped to the other side of the log.
The shuffling shifted over to a hidden area nearby the bush.
"Remember, just like we practiced, Knux!"
"Don't call me that, and shush! You might scare the prey away!"
"Prey? What are you talking about? We're going to catch a frog! Not whatever, 'prey' is!"
"'Prey' is-- Nevermind, just keep quiet!"
Silence enveloped the area, all that was heard was the wind rushing about and the frog's rigid croaking. All of a sudden; a series of puny war-cries were heard, as the two small figures jump out after the frog with spears in their hands.
The young red echidna charged towards the frog with full force, while the other young [Colour] [Animal Name] was depending on their spear more and jabbing it at the air.
The frog widened its eyes and hopped away quickly, before the two could even reach it and it caused the young mobians to topple down onto the floor.
"Augh!"
"Aw, man..."
The two groaned in annoyance, getting up and rubbing the dirt off from themselves. "We'll get it next time, Knux!"
"Yeah, we will and I thought, I told you to stop calling me that!"
"You did, but I didn't want to listen." [Name] shrugged, a lop-sided grin on their fuzzy face and flicked the young echidna's nose.
Knuckles let out s splutter, wrinkling his nose and backed his head away in shock from the flick. A small frown crossed onto his lips, as he crossed his arms.
"Now, c'mon! We might find something at the river!" The young [Animal Name] excitedly commented, quickly forgetting about the runaway (more like; hop-away) frog.
They grabbed the echidna's hand, dragging him away with them and Knuckles let out a surprised yip of bewilderment.
Knuckles trying to confess to you, but ends up using the wrong statements and gets all embarrassed from this.
This is how it might go...
WARNINGS ;; NONE, JUST SOME FLUFF.
Knuckles fumbled around with his gloves in such discomfort, his nose wrinkled in an unamused expression and he let out a deprived sigh.
His companions, Sonic and Tails, had helped to prep him up for what he’d do next. He was quite unsure with himself, as he was still new to the complexions of this peculiar planet, Earth.
Nonetheless, he didn’t want to seem like a coward and back down for this next courageous act. So, as Sonic and Tails whizzed away to go wait by the truck to drive off for ice-cream. They awaited for Knuckles and [Name].
Before the blue blur went off to the truck, he teasingly nudged the red echidna and gestured over to the [Animal Name] that was packing up the baseball gear they had used.
[Name] handed the gear over to Tom and Maddie, as the couple ruffled the [Colour] mobian’s fluff and they grinned in pride. Turning, they were immediately faced with Knuckles’ face and they let out a shocked yell at this.
Stumbling backwards on their own feet, Knuckles widened his eyes in an apologetic manner. “My apologies, [Animal Name]. I merely wanted to, uh, tell you something.”
[Name] woozily nodded, adjusting their baseball cap that Tom had given to them and they leaned against the post-board in curiosity. “It’s, uh, fine. What is it you wanted to tell me?”
“Well, uh...” Knuckles trailed off, looking at his gloves and found that whatever he wrote on them was smudge up. A frown slipped onto himself from this, as he didn’t know what to say now. But, he recalled some comments from the main part of Green Hills that could help him out with this situation.
“Will you marry me, [Name]?”
The [Animal Name] widened their eyes in shock, coughing on the air and shook their head to steady themselves, since they almost tripped up on their own two feet. “Excuse me, what--?”
“Wrong line, Knux!” Sonic yelled out, cupping his hands to his mouth from where he was at from the back of the truck.
[Name] furrowed their invisible brows, glancing over to the echidna, who seemed to be shuffling about to try think up on what to say.
“What I am meaning to say is: Happy Birthday-- Wait, uh, Merry Christmas!--” The echidna rambled on what seemed to be utter nonsense, growing frustrated and quickly flustered from how much of a mess he was being in front of [Name].
“Remember, just how we practiced it, Knuckles!” Tails chorused out, managing to stop the echidna from further embarrassing himself.
Knuckles sent the fox and the hedgehog, both firm nods and faced the confused [Animal Name]. Mustering up all his courage, Knuckles curled his hands into fists with determination.
“We’ve had quite a journey, dear [Name]. Meeting you was quite interesting from then onwards. And, even though we’ve had our ups and downs, this has all made me realise something.”
“What’s it made you realise, Knuckles?” [Name] pushed themselves off from the post-board, staring at the red echidna with such an intent look of interest and curiosity. Knuckles noticed them taking a few steps towards him, as he took a few steps back himself.
“Well, uh, I have realised that I--” He paused for a moment, it seemed like he was second-guessing himself. But, he took in a deep breath and spluttered out his next words.
“I have realised, that I have fallen for you, [Name] the [Animal Name].”
Yo that Knuckles imagine that you wrote was amazing I loved it so much 😼
[I'm glad you did, and I'm just shocked by how many quick notifs I got after posting that imagine! Thank you all in advance, this is another part to the first one. Originally: I was gonna add on something, but I took it off and felt that I should end it off there, but from all the support I got, it's motivated me to continue on, soooo....HERE WE GOOOO!]

I M A G I N E ;;
Knuckles is about to gain the upper-hand, as you're struck down onto ground and he's ready to blow the final-fist in vengeance. But, something seems to delay this whole thing...
This is how it'll turn out...
WARNINGS ;; ANGST || MENTIONS OF INJURIES + BLOOD
This was it.
[Name] was to pay for their most heinous crime ever yet: 'betraying Knuckles'.
Knuckles recoiled his right fist back in preparation, curling it in and it was vividly shaking with such rage. Red sparks flew on his right fist, as [Name] stared at Knuckles, looking into his eyes for one last time.
Knuckles scrunched his nose up, not wanting to see that look in [Name's] eyes and he just went in to strike. As his fist was about to make contact with the [Animal Name], Knuckles felt himself flinch and recoil back in shock.
His breath hitched, as he stared at [Name] and he saw the fear in their eyes. He saw trembling, he saw the injuries he had caused. And, most importantly of all:
He saw the [Name] he had once known.
Shaking his head rapidly, Knuckles brought his dominant fist back and went in to try strike again. But, this was more evidently hesitant and the red echidna gritted his teeth with such frustration.
He just couldn't bring himself to do it. Not to [Name].
Blood dripped down [Name's] forehead, as they groaned silently and breathed heavily, tiredly staring at Knuckles. The echidna's body was shaking, his angry glare still painted upon his face and he punched the ground beside [Name's] head with such resent.
Some mud on the floor was splattered with water droplets. Those were tears. Tears of so many different emotions that belonged to the echidna, Knuckles:
Anguish.
Fear.
Anger.
Resent.
Shame.
Body rigid in his sorrow, Knuckles bowed his head down in shame and he couldn't even bear to look at [Name], turning his face away from them.
An anguished cry of many mixed emotions was erupted from his lips, quickly moving away from [Name] and stumbled upon his feet, as he backed away: the [Colour] [Animal Name] gradually sat themselves up and rubbed their head in pain.
They looked to the echidna, confusion filled within them, as they saw Knuckles shake his head rapidly and turn his back on [Name]. In a defeated manner, the fuelled-up echidna sat down with a huff and brought his legs to his chest.
[Name] stumbled on their feet, using a tree to support them and they slowly made their way towards the distressed echidna. Bringing their hand up to his shoulder, Knuckles fiercely looked at them, his eyes flashed an aggressive red and he barked out:
"Go away!"
At this, the [Colour] mobian took quick steps back and swallowed down their breath.
"...Please..." Knuckles muttered, a pleading tone wavered in his voice, as it cracked in fear that he would crack any moment himself again.
The [Animal Name] didn't say anything, as they limped over and carried Sonic with a somewhat struggle, carrying him in a bridal style out from the greenly forest they were set in.
Knuckles peered over his shoulder, seeing the blue and [Colour] figures disappear off into the distance. The red echidna looked over at himself in the reflection, his left fist hit the water to discern his reflection and caused water ripples to appear.
The next words he muttered out, he felt so shameful to even have to try say it to his reflection. When, he truly knows who to say these next words to:
𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐄 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐇𝐔𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐃 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍. He tried clicking the rocks together multiple times, but no fire would spark up in resort.
His features turned to an annoyed look, a disgruntled grunt leaving him. His father thought it’d be a good idea to try and let Blue Eyes do this all on his own in order to ‘become more independent and prepare for the hardships, as a leader’.
Sometimes, the blue-eyed ape wished he wasn’t reminded all the time of what he was supposed to become.
A disdained sigh left his mouth, huddled up by the damp it of where the fire was supposed to be. After a couple more times, the prince ape threw the rocks away with utter anger and bared his teeth. Harshly sitting down, the Prince just stared at the barren place of where the fire was supposed to be.
Glancing upwards, he saw the night sky with the only light source being the limited stars. Shoulders slumped, Blue Eyes stared at the ground in dismay.
He was left to his thoughts in the cold now, as he couldn’t wait to go back home to the colony and receive the immediate warmth of the fire. Blue Eyes couldn’t wait to go back to having fun with his best friend, Ash.
Though he recalled on it, the blue-eyed ape did remember being slightly jealous that the best friend of his didn’t have to worry about the responsibilities that Blue Eyes would have to live up to for future reference.
Sometimes, he wondered how Ash even managed to do it.
A brief sigh left him, walking up to retrieve the stones he had throw away. Picking them up, a clink noise was heard from them making contact with each other. The prince ape slowly went back to the empty fireplace and knelt down nearby it.
Blue Eyes went back to trying to light up the fire, once again.
You being Knuckles’ long-lost friend, and yet here he finds you here: with his enemy, Sonic of all people.
This is how it’ll turn out...
WARNINGS ;; VIOLENCE || MAY CONTAIN BLOOD || ANGST
“...So, you’re acquaintances with the hedgehog?” Knuckles narrowed his eyes, his question seemed roughed out and demanding for [Name] to confirm, if he was correct. Most of the time, he believed himself to be right, but he hoped he wasn’t right this time.
Maybe, this was all a misunderstanding.
[Name] was leaning against the tree, bruised up from the explosion and slowly turned to see an unconscious Sonic, sprawled out on the floor as well.
As they slowly crawled to the blue hedgehog, the red echidna saw this and immediately grabbed them by the neck.
“Answer me!” He demanded in an enraged tone, his face squirmed with pure anger, as his eyes were now a deceitful-looking colour of red. The frightened [Animal Name] gripped at the echidna’s boxing glove, hoping to pull it off and they gritted their teeth in trying to ignore the pain on their neck.
Knuckles was already feeling too impatient, he wanted an answer and he wanted it now.
“Answer me. Are you acquaintances with that hedgehog?”
Silence filled them after that question was placed on anger, the echidna grew even more annoyed and tightened his grip on the [Animal Name’s] neck. [Name] squirmed around even more, coughing even and took in a deep breath, quickly nodding.
“Yes-Yes, but he’s--”
Knuckles didn’t even give them time to finish off their sentence. He’d heard enough already.
Slamming them down into the ground, the earth shook its core, as thickened cracks appeared underneath [Name’s] head from the impact. Their eyes were dazed with exhaustion, struggling to maintain their strength.
Knuckles threw them back to the tree, the force caused a cracking yell of pain from [Name], as they were slumped back on the tree. The fiery echidna slowly walked towards them, gritting his teeth.
“Get up, traitor. Put up a fight, at least!” It almost seemed, like he was hoping for [Name] to reach out into the light of them fighting back.
[Name] coughed, shuffling on where they were lying down at and groaned from seeing Knuckles about to fire a punch at them.
Tiredly, they huffed and rolled to the side quickly, away from the tree safely. Knuckles huffed at this, running towards them and started firing multiple punches at them at once.
[Name] was up on their feet in the flash of light, trying their best to dodge the punches. Unfortunately, a flurry of them caused a bleeding nose for them and they sucked in their breath to withhold the pain. Knuckles twirled his fist around, before sending a final punch through [Name’s] stomach and sending them flying upwards.
Now in mid-air, Knuckles climbed up the tree and launched himself up to be right beside [Name] in the air. As the two started punching ‘n dodging, Knuckles showed his rage in not only through the combat, but through his words as well.
“We used to be such great friends. But, you had to go away and make amends with the enemy!”
“But-- he isn’t the enemy, Knux--”
“You do not get to call me that, traitor. I don’t even know you anymore.”
“You do though, Knux-- Knuckles! Remember when we went by the lakes and tried catching some treasure--”
“Stop it.”
“--Or when we always stayed out to watch the stars night, or when we had competitions to see who could eat the most food--”
“No-No, stop it.”
“--Oh, remember when we had combats and your father taught us--”
“ENOUGH!”
And, with that; Knuckles had ruby red electricity wiring throughout his body, as he used his two fists to punch [Name] down to the ground. The terrified [Animal Name] let out a piercing scream, as a sickening boom was heard upon all in the radius.
Knuckles landed on the ground, as he walked over to see a hole with [Name] in it, forcefully picking them up as well. [Name] kicked the echidna off from them, rolling onto the ground and they sat up. As they were about to make a narrow escape with Sonic, Knuckles had tackled them down with such force, holding them down with such harshness.
“You may think those memories will mean for me to forgive you, but it won’t work. Those memories are nothing to me.” Knuckles uttered out, slanting his teeth and he leaned towards [Name’s] ear to then whisper;
“You mean nothing to me anymore.”
[Name] squinted their eyes, trying to hold in their sobs. They felt that nothing would help them in this situation now. “...I’m sorry.”
“Sorry?! You’re apologising? Ha, don’t make me laugh.” Knuckles rolled his eyes, sneering at the injured [Animal Name]. “How pitiful. You make amends with the hedgehog, someone who made us lose EVERYTHING. Now, you will pay for even betraying me.”
The cracking of knuckles were heard, as the raging echidna recoiled his right hand backwards, curling it into a firm fist.
You Look Just Like A Dream <3 [Jim Hawkins x Male! Reader] -- [Treasure Planet]
[GIF not mine]
Jim kept his gaze upon [Name], who seemed to be laughing away with his friends. Leaning against the wall, Jim smiled fondly and kept his dreamed-out gaze at [Name].
He didn’t really know how to go up and ask [Name] to dance with him. Jim only came to this dance to see [Name] in all honesty. His friends were just nudging at him and urging him to go over to [Name].
In this, the boy went into a flustered state and protested in conclusion. As if it was all cliché, the slow music started to play on and everyone was getting a partner to slow-dance with.
[Name] waved to his friends, making his way over to Jim and stood beside him. “...I guess, it’s just you and me here, eh Jim?” [Name] chuckled nervously, slightly grimacing at his own actions and his cheeks flushed up within embarrassment.
“Uh, yeah...” Jim scratched his cheek, looking at the ground nervousness. Oh, gosh: he was getting even more nervous to even ask him. “Uh, [Name]...Would you like to...” Jim trailed on, clearing his throat and felt the warmth on his cheeks growing even more.
[Name] raised a brow in curiosity, smiling in reassurance at Jim.
“Would you like to go and dance with me? I mean, only if you want to-” Jim slowly reached his hand to [Name], glancing away to not show the flustered look he had upon his face.
[Name] widened his eyes in shock, looking at Jim and to his hand. He did this for a while, before clearing his throat and grasped his hand gently. An oncoming eruption of blush radiating onto [Name’s] cheeks. “I’d-I’d love to dance with you, Jim...”
Jim widened his eyes, smiling in response and the two made their way to the dance floor. Their hands slowly connected with each other, their eyes sparkling in awe-struck and wonder. The two smiled fondly at each other and hugged each other, whilst dancing the night away.
‘He looks just like a dream.’ Both of them thought with a loving smile on their faces.
