Content - Band AU
In between blinks and flashes of light, from one thundering moment to the bustling next, the show is over. The crowd is cleared out and they are ushered to the back, alcohol wipes for their faces and water bottles for their dry mouths. Everything happens quickly, at least their side happens quickly as they are in the car then their hotel room in a single breath.
(Well, more than that, but it feels the same.)
"Ough, I hate morning flights," Scott gripes from the en-suite. His voice is louder than his phone taps, which brings an amused smile to Impulse's lips. "Absolutely ridiculous. I'm going to have no time to get ready."
Impulse chuckles, sends the last few texts before pocketing his phone. "I mean, you don't have to get dressed up and all facied out."
Scott gasps, offended. "Public appearances, Impy, public appearances."
Impulse says nothing else, instead, he shoves the still warm towel on his face, rubbing a little hard to get all the glitter from his face. It had been at Gem's insistence, for their initial gigs, and now it became a stapple. Hate is a too strong word, and dislike is hardly comparable.
There is a quiet sigh as Scott saunters out of the en-suite, robe tight on his body, damp hairs shaken from his forehead, skin clear. Impulse gives him a look, and Scott can only dramatically fall on the bed.
Scott does not sleep, however, but he lays on his side, arm perched and apple of his cheek on the heel of his palm. "Well then, we have yet to discuss sleeping arrangements. How will we do this? I don't want to—"
"We'll share, that's what we agreed on. Did you forget?"
One thing, a very good thing about Scott's pale skin, is that Scott blushes easily. Noticeably. Not like those subtle blushes when he is teasing someone or playing a part, but a deep blush when he is taken by surprised. Like now, rendering him speechless as Impulse looks at him over his shoulder.
"Plus, the couch is too small for either of us. Gem, maybe, but she's got her room."
It happens between heartbeats, Impulse wipes the sides of his face, his hairline, then tosses the towel among the dirty pile. Nonchalantly, he makes his way to the lightswitch and turns it off, using his phone's light to guide him to the bed.
Every step, Scott follows, mouth agape and utter… blankness in his eyes. Unlike other times, Scott takes longer to recover and retort. Impulse will like to think it has something to do with tiredness, though he knows it has everything to do with the headlines from ealier that morning.
'Impulse isn't bad on the eyes,' Scott had said with that flirty tone of his, the smoothness and confidence that everyone knows and expects. It had been on defence of yet another rumor, something stupid Impulse did not even bother remembering. He had missed the interview, having been in another by himself at the same time because of some miscommunication. But he had seen the clip, and he had seen Scott stumble when Gem mentioned the possibility that Scott might like him more than just eye-candy.
Impulse is not one to rush to conclusions, but facts are facts, and his phone is telling him that is nearly midnight, so they should both sleep. He slides under the covers, leaning over to press a brief kiss in a still frozen Scott, something small under his temple, beside his eye. Not quite where he had planned, but the little light made it hard to aim.
"G'night, Scott. And by the way, I think you're good on my eyes, great even."
It takes a while longer, that edge where Impulse can only respond with a hum to Scott's voice, his eyes refuse to open and his pillow too comfortable. Despite that, his brain is barely awake enough to feel him, finally moving. Settling behind.
Nothing grand, nothing loud or flashy, just arms around his back, a burning face pressing on the back of his neck.
Impulse drifts off not long after, and he likes to image the whispered confession is not something he dreamt.

making a post about tangle & whisper's relationship because I LOVE THEM
Okay, so, Tangle clearly cares about Whisper;
After Sonic's death, after the danger of the Metal Virus- after Tangle died and Whisper could barely cope with the grief, Whisper's anxious. She can't relax- and so Tangle is trying to reassure her!! She just wants her to be happy!
And then the Metal Virus.
When Tangle died, she apologized-
She said to tell Whisper and the others that she's sorry, that Whisper'll take it really hard, and that she's sorry.
Sorry for what, though?
Being a hero. Sonic wouldn't let her be sorry for being a hero- he's seen too many good people say the same- like I said in a previous post.
And then Whisper finds out.
She watches her girlfriend, the woman she loves, be taken away from her as she can't do anything about it.
Tangle is so strong.
So brave.
She never gives up- and keeps a smile in even the harshest times.
She was Whisper's everything.
Her hope.
And now? She's gone.
Whisper almost never opens her eyes.
She almost never speaks at a regular volume.
Here? She screams at the top of her lungs and bursts into tears, completely distraught and broken by Tangle's death.
She couldn't cope with it. She had to be physically restrained to stop her from jumping to save her girlfriend.
And then she breaks down completely, and holds her head crying.
Even later, she tries to get revenge.
Because she can't take it.
She can't deal with Tangle's death, so she has to avenge her.
She can't deal with that loss again. She can't have Eggman take another friend away from her. She's so angry- so horrified- so sad-
So she tries to kill him.
Cream has to stop her- because Whisper was absolutely broken by Tangle's death. Tangle, in a way, was Whisper's light in the dark- a speck of hope when all seems lost, and she's always tried to reassure her even in the darkest of times- like here in Whisper & Tangle.
Whisper's threatened- and Tangle's worried, at first, but when she sees the note? The threat to her girlfriend? She's disgusted. She says that they're going to find who did this, and they're going to kick his fucking ass.
And look at their reunion here.
Whisper was so lost without her- She was absolutely ecstatic that Tangle was back.
Remember, Whisper doesn't like hugs. And here she tackles Tangle.
theyre canon your honour i swear to god
