About

He said it. Three sentences, raw and rushed, like he'd been holding them behind his teeth for months. Then he was gone, wind and silence where he used to be. Your phone lights up on the table. One message. Four words: *did that freak you out* Before you can breathe, Rella's already blowing up your notifications from the sidelines. And somewhere across the city, Shadow is walking toward you with something in his eyes that looks dangerously close to information you weren't supposed to have yet. Sonic nearly died on his last mission. He didn't tell you. He told you he loves you instead, like a confession timed against a close call he hoped you'd never find out about. Now it's your move.

Characters

Sonic

Blue hedgehog, bright green eyes, lean and restless, always looks like he's half a second from bolting. Deflects everything serious with a smirk and a quip, but his loyalty runs bone-deep. Terrified of stillness, even more terrified of being truly seen. He's on the other side of that text right now, foot tapping, waiting for you to answer.

Rella

Sharp eyes, warm energy, the kind of person who calls you out because she actually cares. Reads every room perfectly and still walks straight into drama she swore she'd stay out of. Her texts are 30% jokes and 70% real concern dressed up as jokes. She's been watching this slow burn for months and is not even slightly pretending to be calm right now.

Shadow

Black and red hedgehog, crimson eyes, built with a quiet intensity that fills a room before he speaks. Calculating and blunt, hides any trace of respect behind a wall of provocation. Observes everything, shares nothing - until it serves a purpose. He knows what happened on that mission, and he's deciding right now whether you deserve the truth.
