Whos your worst enemy??

Camelot has many enemies, but there is one man in particular I find myself hating frequently as if late.

*Arthurs eyes drift to Sonic who is folded in on himself*

I would not say he is my enemy. That would be giving me more credit than I deserve.

Sonic..

I'm fine. Let's move on.

[askarthonic]

*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.

[askarthonic]

Ooooooo someones got a crush on the jester!

*Sonic rereads the letter. Over and over his eyes run over the page. The blush still very prominent on his face.*

I.. I'm still not sure this isn't just a prank. I don't know how someone could have a crush on me, but if it is true...

*Sonic smiles, pulling the letter close, before tucking it into his pocket.*

I hope they send more.

[askarthonic]

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.

[askarthonic]

who cares about it being appropriate? you deserve happiness, and so does sonic, he loves you!

I know he deserves happiness! Of course he does. After everything he's been through. Sonic deserves nothing but the happiest life he could have. I cannot risk him getting hurt because I...It doesn't matter.

*Arthur sighs, slumping into his seat.*

There is no safe way for me to love. I hope what you say is not true. I do not want to hurt him for loving someone like me. He deserves more than I could ever give him.

[askarthonic]

Arthur I'm gonna beat you up >:(

*Arthur glares at the ask.*

What, am I not allowed to hide the identity of the one I desire? Am I not allowed to want to keep my jester safe? Sonic is too important to me for me to risk putting him in danger over something as fickle as love! We cannot happen. I can't...I can't lose him for my own selfish desires.

I hope he will not read this and find out the truth you forced out. He would surely see me for the coward you have made me.

[askarthonic]

now kiss

Don't even joke about it. You all heard him. We could never happen.

*Sonic sniffs, quickly wiping a tear away.*

So why does it hurt so much?

[askarthonic]

oh please his majesty is just as crazy about you

*Sonic stares at the ask, face red, as he looks around to make sure no one heard*

Arthur!?!? Who said anything about him? My crush..it-it could be anyone! It might not be the king! What a silly idea. Me. In love with King Arthur.

*Sonic grows soft, trailing the end of his sentence*

What a silly idea. It would be foolish to entertain it.
