Keep Your Head Up!

Sonic reminiscences about his friends.

(

I decided to do one based on Sonic.

Sonic suffering, of course.

That's it ^v^

)

=============================================

They looked like them.

They sounded like them.

Most of them even had the same mannerisms as them.

But they weren't them.

They didn't act like them.

They didn't talk like them.

They didn't feel like them.

Amy Rose, once the sweetest and cutest friend to have now was either cold, and lacked compassion. Her once warm and cheery green eyes now blank and empty or filled with suspicion and feral anger.

No more adorable strength, no more cheerfulness, nothing but brute force and stoic brutality.

Rouge, once the alluring jewel thief. He didn't spend much time around her, the bat preferred to keep to herself. But he noticed how she now lead resistance's or groups, nothing like the lone bat thief she once was.

And while he wasn't as bothered with that, he still found it hard to accept and get used to.

Knuckles, once a powerful fighter and dependent friend, was now either crazy or selfishly greedy. His steady blue eyes gleamed with unstable intent.

He even missed him at this point.

Shadow wasn't doing so well either. While he stayed his stoic self, the hero saw some cracks slip through, ones that Shadow obviously hoped nobody would notice, how his eyes held so much pain and sadness, how he was more aggressive than usual, how his voice would barely shake when talking about home.

But the blue urchin didn't say anything, never commented on it. He didn't think Shadow would accept it anyway with how mad he is at him.

Then there was...him. The fox who always stuck by his side, who was once just a little kid who followed him around, who was always tinkering away on inventions a happy smile on his face, who was the greatest friend, greatest brother, anyone could ask for.

Most of his variants were the same, but not exactly. Mangey was nothing but a feral animal, unable to even speak, only talking with grunts and growls and Sails, while being the closest to resemble him, didn't have...it just wasn't the same.

But then there was Nine, the most different from him. The metal tailed fox was blunt and cold, barely smiled, worked alone, was always alone. Once bright and curious baby blues were now cold and pained icy blue (please dont look at me like that). Once fluffy and bright fur was now limp and pale. His ears were longer than his too, ending with darkened tips at the end.

He noticed how Nine's metal tails wrapped around his organic ones, making an illusion of one tail. He felt his ears droop at the sight.

The most painful thing was how...isolated and...and scared this kid was. When he first met them, they attacked him because he called them his name he broke into their lab. 

And he felt a harsh pang in his chest at how much they hated his name at how lonely this kit is.

He couldn't bear the sight of it.

So he tried to make sure he was there for Nine. Giving him compliments and encouragement, cheering him on, letting the fox lean on him for support, everything he used to do for him.

But it still hurt so so much...sucked.

All of this still sucked so much.

He sometimes wished he would wake up and all of this would be over. Just a nightmare.

But that never happened, he was still here, still in the now broken world he once lived in and protected.

Sometimes he felt a wetness in his eyes a little down, but he held his head high.

All of this will work out in the end, he just has to keep going, just has to keep staying positive. 

Just keep going.

Just.

Stay.

Positive.

I saw this a while ago in an Ask and an AU where where Sonic was basically in his early 30’s with Amy and both were married with Tails as their son (Ya know Adoption and the like) like Dad Sonic AU I think it was called.

It got me thinking of a prompt with the same scenario as Prime, but now Sonic has lost far more then he thought. Imagine now he’s in new yolk to see his son become a loner traumatised and hostile with not so great health and then his wife is a cold, compassionless metal machine?

This brings me to the Prompt of DadSonic first meeting Nine, telling him of their time together and what they all did as a family.

1. Nine having such care and being really immersed in how basically his Dad is telling him they both whooped Eggmans butt as father and son.

2. Nine during the sonic capture scene, seeing what is supposed to be his mother controlled like a puppet and his supposed dad being killed.

3. Nine being WAAAY more hostile towards the chaos council because of this.

Basically I just want to know how you think Nine and Sonic in this context would be like?

I've seen that AU, and it. is. ADORABLE!

And I can see these happening! Nine would originally be hostile and confused, thinking this guy is insane, until the hedgehog mentions personal things no stranger should ever know. Nine would be cautious, thinking this guy's a stalker, but ultimately bonding with Sonic like in the show, once again drawn in by the sincere kindness and gentle concern.

Nine would want to hear more stories, fully immersed in Sonic's passionate story of what they did together.

Nine would be horrified and much less compliant with the council, seeing the woman who could've been his mother, seeing the guy who could've been his father, both in horrible circumstances.

Nine would be nearly feral towards the bastards.

I think this idea is sweet, and also sad because of the whole erase them to restore the world thing, but I am trying NOT to think of that rn! Thank you for this nice ask ^v^
