tw-ptsd, nightmares, panic attack (kinda)
"No. Not again. Please." Sonic stared at his friends. Different versions. Again. They were always different.
"What do you want? Are you here to steal our rations?" A version of Rouge grunts.
"I bet hes here to take our base!" A version of Knuckles states. "Get him!" Amy charges forward, starting to chase him.
"Sonic," he hears a familiar voice say. "Sonic," it says again.
"Please. Help me," Sonic cries out to seemingly nobody. Suddenly the voice gets louder.
"Sonic! Wake up!" He gasps and opens his eyes. He sees a familiar face hovering over him.
Shadow. His boyfriend and partner.
"Shadow? Sh-Shadow, is it you?" Sonic pants and gasps for air.
"Its me. Just breathe, okay? Look at me and just breathe." Sonic copied Shadow's breathing, desperately trying to keep the tears from falling out his eyes.
"You had the dream again, didnt you?" It didnt take a genius to figure out why Sonic had nightmares. Being in the Shatterspaces had left a scar on him. Multiple scars. Shadow had never seen what happened in the different worlds. At least not all of it. But he was starting to learn. He knew he wasnt known by anyone in the different worlds. He knew he helped everyone but nobody helped him. Sonic didnt even have to nod for Shadow to know the answer to the question.
"Its okay. Im here. I know who you are," Shadow murmurs. "Theres only one of me. Remember?"
"Only one of you," Sonic repeats and nods.
"Thats right. Feel like telling me what happened in your nightmare?"
"Mhm." Shadow coaxes Sonic into his arms and he buries his head into his patch of white fur. "I was in another world. And... they were different. They didn't know me. They were chasing me. And-" Sonic chokes back a sob. "I felt alone. Again."
"Shh... youre okay... youre not alone."
"I know. I just dont want them to forget. I dont want you to forget."
"I wont. I wont ever forget you. Youre too pretty," he murmurs, pressing a kiss against his forehead. His paws reach out and take Sonic's gloves off gently. He shivers slightly but lets it happen.
"Shads?"
"Yeah, Soni?"
"Im scared," he lets out a soft whimper and his body curls up slightly, the way it does when he feels threatened or scared.
"Hey. Hey, look at me."
"M'scared..." a sob escapes Sonic, and Shadow holds him tighter.
"I know. Its okay. I promise, you're safe. You're not in the Shatterspaces anymore." Shadow murmurs, his paws rubbing Sonic's back.
"You told me not to trust Nine, and I didn't listen," he chokes on a sob. Shadow knows he wouldn't be able to convince Sonic it wasn't his fault, so he does something he knows calms him down. Something Maria would do to help him sleep. He gently rocked him back and forth, humming a random tune. Miraculously, this worked and Sonic fell asleep, purring softly. That was something he only did when he felt safe.
"Good night, Soni," Shadow murmurs, gently laying him down on the pillow. He knew he would have to do this again another time. He knew he would have to get Sonic help. But they would cross that bridge another day. For now, Shadow was just happy he was asleep.
f/o seeing you across the room and looking away embarrassedly as you look back or blow a kiss at them
EDIT: I removed the link to the gfm because Khawla has encountered issues there. Please donate through paypal
Account: @kawla-family7
This campaign is for Khawla, @/mohiy-gaza 's sister (confirmation below cut). Mohiy has been vetted by 90-ghost here
Khawla and her husband are rasing funds to help them and their 3 children: Muhammad (5), Sham (3), and Ghazal (1 1/2). They need help affording food, clean water, shelter, baby supplies, and medicine to treat Muhammad's hepatitis.
The funds will help them survive and afford evacuation to a safer place, where Khawla's children will be able to live in peace and return to school. Completing their fundraiser is impossible without support from people like you. Please extend your support to Khawla's family by sharing and donating, even if all you can spare is $5. Every share and every dollar will bring them one step closer to reaching their goal and affording evacuation.
In the heart of Gaza
Thank you to everyone for your support🫂🥹
idk if this would be comforting for anyone else but your f/o's "canon partner" is literally the #1 supporter of your selfship btw!!!!
if you're nonsharing, then they're furiously shaking their head in disapproval whenever ppl say that *they're* your f/o's partner/soulmate when *you* are!!
if you're sharing or polyam, then they're so incredibly happy that you're bringing even more love and joy to your f/o's life!!
either way, they will fight off anyone that tries to invalidate your relationship with your f/o because of whatever's going on in the canon!!!!
(the above also applies to the character(s) most popularly shipped with your f/o ^_^)
thinking abt this rn bcuz AAOO99UUHGNGNHNNAbbngnngngbbgbggnngngngng

I'll break your bones with all the love I carry // Keep you close, and one day we'll get married 💙
