[Ah, he really is so obvious about it... c-cute... He's pleased he could get across what he wanted, especially without the use of words or their shared link to make it obvious. This is really nice. Though in some ways nothing has changed at all, it does feel different now that there's a name to put to the flurry of feelings that come with the proximity to his beloved rival.]

Thank you. [I know it was difficult.] I've learned much today. I want nothing more than to remain right here with you, but...

[His gaze turns skyward; though they're quite a ways out from the festival, the fireworks that have just started are still visible against the night sky.]

...Perhaps we should head back. I don't want you to be too cold out here.

[Sonic chuckles a bit once the sound of the fireworks hit his ears, and he looks to Neo once the other hedgehog puts that out there.]

Awww, you really do care after all! [It was never in question. Promise. Sonic chuckles a bit, a little sad he has to get up from his boyfriend's warm space, but holding out a hand for Neo with a grin.] Not that I'd really ever be cold with you around, but I'm thinking getting back into town where the warm is will be a good idea, yeah. There might still be some cool games going on at the festival, too, if we get there quick.

Race you there? [...] Or...should we take our time, you think?

[Either way's fine by him. Neo's already expended enough energy today chasing after Sonic--they can take it at whatever pace Neo wants tonight.]

[metaloverlord]

[Neo nuzzles against Sonic again at that, though he allows his rival to get up, taking Sonic's hand when it's offered to him.]

You already know my answer.

[And then, without even waiting for Sonic to respond, Neo fires up his jets and zips off. After all, how could he ever turn down another opportunity to race his rival? Even though there's no chance he'll win, he always, always strives to be better than Sonic.

And the amusement present through the bond makes it clear that he is not sorry at all about cheating to get a head start.]

[lovesadventure]

You cheater--!

[...

You know, Sonic isn't sure what he should've expected, but it absolutely should've been that. Sonic's laughter is loud and bright and catching up fast to Neo as his own amusement and competitive spirit is made apparent, and truly?

He's the happiest man alive, with the best boyfriend he could ever ask for. And as they make it back to the festival, he doesn't care what anyone else thinks, because they're both happy and that's what matters most.]
