Summary
Tails suddenly pulls away, ripping himself out of his brother's grasp. "Sorry sorry sorry sorry!" He repeats, at least knowing who he's apologizing to this time. "Sorry. I'm okay, I'm alright."
He tries to muster a smile while wiping away his tears, but Sonic's face makes it drop into more of a grimace. Sonic just looks so lost, like he doesn't know what to do, but Sonic always knows what to do. This must be Tails' fault then. Unpredictable emotions getting the better of the hedgehog makes sense, but it looks like so much more than that. Sonic looks like Tails just grew a second head, like he doesn't know what or who he's looking at. He honestly looks kinda... Scared?
- or -
Tails is afraid Sonic is going to leave him behind.

Summary
Deku watches as Izuku takes him all in. He knows that Izuku remembers him, he knows Izuku knows who he is, even if they don't look or act much alike anymore.
Izuku's eyes are almost gray, and they're so tired. His eyelids droop low enough that Deku has to squint to make eye contact. He reminds him of momma, just a little bit. The way his head hangs low but he still smiles with too many teeth, the way the tips of his green hair have just begun to get matted. He looks just like momma did when he was growing up.
Deku isn't sure why it makes him sad, but he's sure Izuku would get it.
- or -
Izuku has a talk with his innerchild. It could've gone worse.

Summary
"How do you become…comfortable?" Shadow asks with his head turned, staring out at the barely populated street.
Amy doesn't understand the question at first. She thinks her chairs are pretty comfortable, and the amicable conversation is comfortable, his jacket looks warm too. Her eyebrow flicks up just as she goes to ask for clarification, and then she pauses, a puzzle piece clicking together in her brain. Shadow–bless his heart–is asking for friendship advice, and Amy knows that she has to tread carefully through this conversation.
"It takes time," She smiles, "and effort."
"You sound like a shrink."

Amy and Shadow meet up for tea, and Amy helps

Summary
Tails takes his hand away from his brother's own, there's a phantom smell of death lingering on his glove and it wafts into the air when he pulls it close to himself.

Summary
"As the ultimate lifeform my body temperature is always perfectly regulated, I have no need to think about that."
"It's not about what you need Shadow–" Sonic sighs, flippantly gesturing his hands. "–It's about what you like, about what makes you happy."
"What makes me…happy?"
"Yup."
-or-
Shadow's trying to take a step forward in the healing process, to learn how to move forward and let go of the past. Sonic tries to help him along.

Summary
"You're a bat, hm? I thought you were a spider."
"No." Mayday wrinkles her nose. "Daddy spider, I'm bat."
"Good, never stay consistent, keep them on their toes."
Mayday, who has zero clue what that means, nods seriously. She doesn't know what consistency is, only that she's pretty sure it's important to Hobie, but she does know what toes are.
With a flourish and a happy giggle, she unsticks her right foot from the ceiling fan and happily shouts, "toes!". Her left one doesn't have enough stability to keep her from falling yet, and she only remembers this fact when the ground rapidly comes toward her. Mayday falls with a shriek, her tiny hands coming out in front of her to somehow ease the pain of her crash.

Summary
He catches them in a stare down. The chao is sitting on a large cabinet filled with Shadow's tools, Miles is on the floor with a wrench in his hand. Both stare at each other unblinking, but the chao is staring with venom while Miles stares with curiosity. He gekkers quietly, his ears folding back as he hands the chao a wrench. The chao just squeaks again and ticks a little cchhh at the end, this time obviously angered.
"Don't be rude." Shadow frowns, picking up his Chao by its scruff. "This is Miles, say hello."

Summary
His head tilts to the side as he stares at Sonic, his ears flicking and swiveling around, his nose and eyebrows are scrunched as well as he tries to figure out what Sonic is saying. In response, the hedgehog speaks slower, moving his hands in somewhat related gestures.
“Sorry about him.” Sonic says. “Shadow’s a bit rough around the edges. He’s been through a lot ya’know?” The fox doesn’t answer, and he doesn’t expect him to, he just continues to chatter about nothing as he waits. “I feel like once you actually start talking to us you’ll get it.”
The fox slowly sits down, and Sonic takes it as his cue to just barely inch his way closer. The fox tenses, and lets out a rumbly bark, but doesn’t move. Sonic keeps talking.
“You're still covered in blood, buddy. D'ya wanna get clean?"
Once again, no answer, just an ear flick and a lost gaze.

Summary
"Sonic." The kit says, his voice quiet, high and raspy. "What are those things?"
The kit points upwards, toward the night sky.
"You mean those bright lights up there? Those are stars."
"What're they?"
Sonic stares for a moment, blank. He's never been one to study the technological side of things, that's more Shadow's deal, but he still feels the need to answer the kit. His answers will probably end up half-assed and only partially true, but it'll satiate the kits curiosity for the moment.
His bright blue eyes seem to burn into Sonic's own skin as he waits for Sonic to reply, tiny fangs nip at white gloves that cover sharp claws.
"Uhm..." Sonic stutters, "They're like big balls of gas. In space."
"Space?"
"Yeah, you know, like... What's beyond Earth and whatnot. Where planets are, and galaxies, and other universes possibly."

Summary
The class whispers to each other, while Midoriya stays silent. The flow of water in his ears only begins to pick up, rushing with his heartbeat. The stapled papers in front of him almost seem to distort, as if he's look through a glass bottle. Midoriya doesn't think he really has to read them though, he already knows what he's doing his project on.
His hands seem to move on their own, writing in his barely coherent scrawl that he calls his handwriting.
"Quirkless History and Discrimination"
-Or-
I project onto Midoriya Izuku for way too long to be healthy

Summary
Deku sits next to the door, the wall is cold on his back. The pressure of his tailbone against the harshness of the baseboard seems to fade in and out. He blinks. Aizawa is standing in front of him, Iida slightly further back. What was he doing again?
“Midoriya.” Aizawa’s hand is rubbing feeling into his fingers. It makes his hands ache.
“G-Good morning Sensei.”
“Why are you… sleeping, next to the front door?”
“I’m not.”

Summary
They look back on their childhood memories of her with an air of nostalgia, and even a slight fondness. Even then, they suppose, they never really liked each other, but they were kids with nothing better to do. They made friends with bugs, and tvs, and toys, so of course they'd make friends with the thing that walks, talks, and is even them-sized too. It was never a true friendship, just that strange wonderment that kids tend to have with anything and everything that moves.
As soon as Noelle grew out of Barbie and Tinkerbell Toys, and they followed suit with Thomas the Tank Engine and ballet skirts, they found nothing in common. They grew out of each other soon after.
