Closed starter for @no1canbreakyou!!
⠀⠀⠀The wind roared in Sonic's ears, his legs burning as his muscles pumped, pushing him forwards at blinding speeds. His legs blurred, becoming as if a figure-8 to the naked eye, Sonic's speed kicking up even higher as the plants around him swayed and wobbled in the kinetic offshoot. Dust and dirt kicked up into the air behind him, Sonic's attention squarely on the open space before him.
⠀⠀⠀Going for runs like this was the best way to clear his head, especially after an argument or a disagreement. The tension just melted away as his feet pounded the grass. He came to a slow halt atop a hill, overlooking a vast field of flowers. Sonic took a deep breath in, inhaling the fresh air as a small smile crept over his muzzle.
⠀⠀⠀"Nothin' beats this." The hedgehog muttered to himself, hands resting on his hips-- until he noticed a familiar face in the field. At least, it looked like a familiar face. From this distance, it was a little hard to tell. "Hey, is that--?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀The cobalt hero hopped down from atop his hill, carefully making his way over to the other hedgehog. He was careful not to step on any flowers-- why bother destroying something so harmless and beautiful? The air was smooth, and refreshing, the hedgehog's quills gently swaying as he approached the ebony hedgehog.
⠀⠀⠀As he got closer, the vague silhouette became more clear-- and there was no denying that unique quill style. A gloved hand raised, in a friendly manner, Sonic's muzzle widening into a grin as he hailed the would-be rival hedgehog.
⠀⠀⠀"Yo, Shadow!" He called out, seemingly not caring that he was interrupting the ultimate lifeform, "what brings ya here? I didn't know you liked to hang around and smell the flowers." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀Despite his words, Sonic's tone didn't carry that usual, prodding tone. For once, he wasn't trying to get under Shadow's skin-- not yet, anyway, Sonic was just making normal conversation. His head tilted ever so slightly to the side, the hedgehog's emerald orbs remaining fixed on the ebony hybrid for a moment.
⠀⠀⠀Reaching up, Sonic's hands rested on the back his head, never a more casual display of his own security. Despite the two butting heads over and over again, and even trying to kill each other, Sonic felt comfortable enough - or maybe confident enough - to drop his guard around Shadow.
⠀⠀⠀"Can't say I blame ya, though. This is a great spot." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
