Heeey, you stop that.

[Get booped, idiot. Affectionately, of course, though Sonic's hand immediately goes back to carressing Neo's cheek after he says that.]

You do a plenty good job of treating me well, you know. It may not be in the same bombastic ways I do, but it doesn't mean you're cold or anything, you know? You're the one who keeps yourself nice and warm for me at night, just because I like it. You're also the one who doesn't hold back an inch whenever we compete or anything like that.

If you wanna learn more about all of this kind of stuff...you definitely can, and I'll appreciate every little bit of it.

[Sonic will go to lie down, encouraging Neo to join him.]

...Besides, you got plenty of ways to leave me embarrassed and breathless too. That enthusiasm of yours really is as embarrassing as it is flattering. I really love seeing it on you.

[He's been booped... Neo huffs at that, though he doesn't look too offended.]

I'm pleased you aren't bothered by it, at the very least.

[He moves to join Sonic, curling up against his metal frame easily. Usually he's the one doing the holding, but this is... honestly really nice. He fits snugly against Sonic and it feels... incredibly comfortable. Perhaps not physically, as he is still cuddling metal, but he can't think of any place in the world he'd rather be.]

I'll always be enthusiastic about this. You... truly do make me happy, Sonic.

[Something he never could have imagined thinking or saying, once, but that doesn't make it any less true. Neo tips his head so he can press another kiss to where Sonic's mouth was previously; he doesn't have it now, but that doesn't mean Neo can't show affection for him anyway!!]

You make me happy too, Neo. The happiest hedgehog alive. I'll never get tired of your enthusiasm, the way you explore the world, any of it.

[That little kiss gets a bit of a small beep out of him, surprised but affectionate as he moves to wrap his arms around his newly organic half, holding him nice and close as he goes back into stasis. Absolutely making sure the heat is on, though.]

...I love you, Neo. Get some good sleep tonight. Maybe you'll get to have some nice, pleasant dreams.

[metaloverlord]

[Ah, that would explain this feeling of floatiness, wouldn't it? Organic beings need to sleep, essentially serving as a way to recharge their energy. Being this warm and comfortable seems to be lulling him closer to that, and there's no sense in trying to fight it off. He did say he'd take care of Sonic's body, after all.]

I wonder... Thank you. I... love you too.

[It's sort of mumbled as he drifts off, unable to fight off sleep any longer. Unsurprisingly, he's going to be out all night - and for a good chunk of the day if Sonic doesn't wake him, because it's not like Neo's never slept before. Sonic's body could use the rest, apparently.]
