Tails: “G-GET OUT…!” (Tails blushes intensely and pushes Sonic out of the room, before shutting the door.)
Hi Is anyone there?
Huffs indignantly. "G-go away!" The little hedgehog retorts through the door, clearly rattled. His cyan-colored ears flush a deeper shade of the color as he paces around nervously in his room, feeling foolish for overreacting like that. He can't help but wonder if Sonic was making fun of him...
Open the door
"G-go away!" Tails insists, his voice muffled by the door. He takes a deep breath, feeling even more embarrassed now for yelling. It's silly, he knows Sonic isn't going to leave him alone just because he tells them to. The thought of apologizing crosses his mind, but he dismisses it; that would only make things worse. Maybe ignoring him is the best course of action...
knocks softly on the door a few times Sonic here... Tails? Can I come in?
Tears begin to well up in Tails' eyes as he contemplates whether to answer the door or not. He takes a shaky breath and slowly moves closer, reaching out to unlatch the door before peeking through the crack. "U-uh... you... c-can come in?" he whispers, biting his lower lip nervously.
Sonic steps inside the room, looking around as he walks. "Hey buddy, I thought you were gonna stay in your room for a bit longer." He glances at Tails' outfit and gives him a small smile. "You look cute, you know that?"
Tears begin to flow uncontrollably down his cheeks as Tails nods slowly, sniffling. "I-I was just... I didn't want you to see me like this..." he whispers between sobs, gesturing towards his outfit with a shaky paw. "I-I'm s-sorry if I... I mean, if it looked... l-like I w-was trying..."
Sonic approaches his friend and gently places a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Tails. It's okay if you like dressing up sometimes. You shouldn't be ashamed of that." He gives him a reassuring smile. "You know I'll always support you, no matter what."
Tears continue to fall from Tails' eyes as he looks up at Sonic through his lashes. "I-I know you would, Sonic," he whispers, sniffling again. "It's just... I don't want people making fun of me." He wipes away the last of her tears with the back of a hand and takes a shaky breath, trying to regain composure.
Her color slowly begins to return as she gives Sonic a small smile, "Th-thank you for understanding..." She glances down at his feet, realizing how silly he must have looked in front of him. "I should probably... uh... change back into something more..." normal.
Sonic smiled warmly at his friend, nodding in understanding. "Take your time, buddy. No rush." He then paused, thinking about what he could say to cheer Tails up a bit more. "Hey, you know what would make you feel better? How about we go out for ice cream or something? My treat!"
The prospect of ice cream cheered Tails up considerably; he nodded eagerly and smiled at Sonic. "Really? That'd be great!" She wiped her nose on the back of her hand, wincing a bit at the remnants of snot there before quickly trying to brush it off. "I-I could go for some chocolate chip or cookie dough right now." Her tail wagged excitedly as she imagined the cold sweetness sliding down her throat.
With newfound energy, Tails hopped up and began rummaging through his drawers, searching for something more appropriate to wear out in public. "Let me just find something more... casual," he muttered under his breath before emerging a moment later in comfortable sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt, both in shades of blue that complemented her eyes nicely. He bounced over
