🫂 with Sonic and Tails?

the emojis literally were just a black box on my phone so knowing what the actual prompt was had to wait until i used my laptop fsdkal also i couldnt start this for the life of me but wanted to do it bc it's already been days so my platonic partner gave me a starting sentence which helped

"You told me this wouldn't happen again."

Sonic made a face at his past reassuring words being used accusingly by his own brother.

"I knoww..." He dragged out the word a little, trying to come up with something justifiable. "But I'm fine, see!"

He spread his hands as if to prove the point by demonstrating the lack of mortal injury. Unfortunately, the few scrapes and bruises he had picked up didn't help the claim. Plus, Tails didn't even bother to look around from the kitchen counter.

Only the more than necessary aggressive sounds of chopping filled the short silence as Sonic dropped his arms back to his sides.

Faced with his brother's silence back and tails twitching in agitation, Sonic sighed quietly and padded forward.

"Tails, you know I don't leave you out of things on purpose," he started, "it's just--"

"What if you'd been badly hurt?" Tails finally spun around to almost shout, and Sonic took a physical step back at the tears in his eyes, stunned.

"I..."

Tails sniffed. "Never mind," he muttered, starting to turn his back again, but Sonic quickly stepped forward and put one hand on a fluffy shoulder.

"Hey."

He waited a moment, but Tails refused to look at him, keeping his face turned away although he didn't move to shift out of the light hold keeping him in place.

The tomatoes that had been victim of the forceful chopping leaked watery red on the light surface of the counter as Tails watched. He sniffed again.

"I made these devices so we could always know where someone is if needed." His voice was quiet, more matching the tone that he'd had when they'd first met than the competent genius in front of Sonic.

Sonic added nothing to his reply this time. "I know."

"It just... It's important to me. To know where you are, if you're hurt. If anyone is in danger." Tails bit his lip. "I know none of you really get it, but..."

"Hey." This time the call was firmer, and Tails finally turned his head to face his big brother. Sonic's eyes were focused but gentle. "It doesn't matter if we get it or not. If it's important to you, then it's is important. You know I'm not great with all this tech stuff, or proper words."

He gave a small grin and wink, prompted Tails to sniff again to hide a huff of amusement.

"But, I am sorry. Your big brain will have to forgive your big bro's small mind," he fluffed the fur atop Tails' head, relieved to hear a snort of laughter instead of another sniff.

Tails rubbed his nose and nodded, but his eyes were still downcast. "It's just... if something goes wrong. If something happens... I won't know where to find you. And it might be too late if I do. Or I never will and-"

"Hey, I'm okay. And so are you. I'll do my best to remember, okay?" Sonic used his other hand to gently nudge Tails' chin up, making sure the younger saw the honesty in his older brother's genuine expression.

The watery-ness had mostly disappeared, and Tails nodded again, but Sonic abruptly pulled him closer, leaning to put his head on his shoulder, wrapping his arms around the fluffy back as tails flicked in surprise.

There was only a moment before the hug was returned, Sonic's body squeezed surprisingly tightly by smaller arms.

Half-chopped tomatoes and onions watched impassively from in front of a frying pan on the counter Sonic could now see. Tails had been making chilli dogs in the absence of his brother, prepared for his return despite fear.

"Sonic?"

He allowed himself another quick squeeze and breath, then pulled back, keeping hands on the fox's shoulders briefly, offering a grin at the slightly concerned expression.

"Looks like you're makin' a lil something for lunch, buddy. Want some help?"

Something something vampires have no reflection so he can't even try to see his brother's face anymore when he looks into the mirror

“kids spend too much time on their devices” well what else are they supposed to do? there’s no corner shops with pinball machines in them on every corner anymore. there’s no malls or stores in small towns for teens to hang out in without being suspected of shoplifting or kicked out for loitering. sidewalks are too broken for them to ride their bikes and there’s no bike lane in the street to make it safe for them. i just don’t understand where they expect these kids to go when they keep taking places away from them. and yes having no safe public places for them is what leads a lot of teens into addiction if they end up at a place where people aren’t truly looking out for them.

after patrolling, unwinding in a diner somewhere ...

throw the man a bone batman geez

[ID: A fancomic featuring Batman and Superman in a diner. Superman sips coffee while saying, "You know... I DO show off sometimes, only to impress you." Batman looks shocked before he narrows his eyes at Superman. "Impress... me?" Superman smiles, says "Mhm," and takes a long sip. Batman, frowning: "You're Superman." Superman throws up his hands and replies, "RIGHT? It shouldn't be this hard. Why are you making this so difficult?" End ID] described by @nebulations

Currently thinking about how much Ford tries to hide his hands a lot when he can…behind his back with this stance. Due to how often he’s been bullied for it.

And also, how Mabel is one of the ones who Ford feels happy about showing his hands to because she thought they were cool looking upon first shaking his hand, instead of him being judged for his six fingers.

[ID: Gravity Falls screenshots. The first three are of Ford with his hands crossed behind his back. The last two are of him shaking hands with Mabel, and letting her paint a turkey on his hand. He's smiling in both. End ID.]
