*Sonic woke up, eyes puffy from crying himself to sleep the night before. He very sluggishly moves around his room, gathering his clothes to get ready for his day.*

I wonder if Arthur would let me take the day off. Maybe I could tell him I'm sick. Or maybe I'll just-

*Sonic stops, staring at the floor in front of his door. A neatly folddd paper sits right in front of him, as if someone slid it under the door in the night. Cautiously, Sonic crouches, picking up the letter.*

*Sonic starred, a blush forming on his face as he read the letter over and over. His tail started wagging on it's own.*

Oh. Wow. This. I don't know what to say. Thank you. I don't know if this is a prank or if you're serious, but thank you. I think I needed this.

ARTHUR! I don’t even care if you are a king or not or whatever relationship you pretend you don’t have with Sonic. Get up rn from your office, and go and visit him, AT LEAST AS A FRIEND.

For the name of chaos…

No I...I don't think I can face him. Not after you all forced my confession. I am a king, I should not be so easily played into revealing secrets so easily. I only wish I could tell him how I see him. That is my only regret in not being able to love him openly. He deserves to know how the world outside his mind sees him.

Mind my personal question, your majesty, but have you ever had a romantic relationship before?

I've had brief experiences when I was younger. Nothing real, just trying different things. There was a short period of time where Lancelot and I believed we were in love. We learned quickly we loved each other, just not in the romantic sense, and moved on. But in short, no, not really. Nothing meaningful. But it has always been a dream of mine to meet the perfect man and have a story book romance. A naive dream, but one I still cling to.
