[Sonic keeps waiting for a knock at the door. He figures that Neo will need some time to himself, and if anything, Sonic needs time to himself to process all of this. For what little it's worth, he actually does take the time to rest to try and recover a little bit. Doctor Weissman isn't entirely pleased by the progress, but Sonic at least explains the situation a little bit and the doctor is willing to give him a little bit of grace in regards to his status. The healing magic is at least doing it's job of keeping him in order, and Sonic is at least resting himself some between doing some easier tasks to keep himself afloat...
But it's during the downtime that Sonic thinks about the kiss. Things about how hard Neo's grip was on him, how he didn't push him away. How he...enjoyed that, actually, despite the fact that it was just to get Neo to shut up and hopefully think about what Sonic was saying. He doesn't know if Neo actually even bothered, really, but Sonic's mind is surprisingly clear about all of this. He knows (thinks) he can't be a good boyfriend(?) to Neo--he's not willing to be tied down to one place, and he opposes Eggman. Even in the best case scenario of Neo taking him up on something that ridiculous, Sonic doesn't know the first thing about being a good boyfriend. He's rejected Amy for so long because he doesn't want to break her heart, among the many other reasons he's rejected her over and over again--he can't do that to Neo. He just can't.
But his mind still wanders to that day. To the whirring of Neo's machinery as they settled in close, to how much Sonic wanted that moment to last forever. To how much Sonic wanted to kiss Neo while he was warm instead of cold, and Sonic can't deny the fact that he honestly did enjoy this way more than he wanted to. It's something he can't have, but he enjoyed it. He genuinely did.
It's when a week passes and Neo hasn't shown up that Sonic takes matters into his own hands.
Those smaller, less straining jobs have been learning about technology--he's still not great at repairing items, but careful guidance has seen him able to do much better than he thought he'd be able to. He's been able to learn about how to repair stuff, and it is something he'd wanted to show Neo when he came by. That way he could take care of Neo a bit when he got injured next time they clashed, or they took on a job, or competed in something inane, but Sonic hasn't seen hide or hair of Neo at all, and he wants to find him.
Thankfully, the townspeople can easily point him in the right direction, and Sonic--carrying a set of tools with him, opens the door to the workshop without even a second thought, spotting Neo over in that corner and his bright voice all too clear.]
Neo! There you are--you got a way of making a guy worry a bit, you know!
