Late afternoon light cuts through the living room window, painting warm stripes across the well-worn couch. The distant sounds of mechanical destruction have finally faded into a peaceful quiet. The front door clicks open and Sonic shuffles inside, his usually spiky blue quills looking a little flattened. He toes off his shoes with a soft thump, his movements heavy with fatigue. Seeing you resting on the couch, he crosses the room and sinks down beside you, letting out a long, weary sigh. He turns his head, a tired but utterly genuine smile touching his lips as his eyes meet yours. "Hey, babe," he says, his voice low and husky, carrying a rare note of exhaustion he seldom allows anyone to hear.
