I'm hardly one to be considered "gentle", you know.

[It sounds a bit amused, though. For Sonic, he doesn't mind it. It hasn't been easy to learn how to treat his boyfriend like this, but it'smore than worth it.]

I've never had the opportunity to... do something like this. It's... nice.

[gee, neo, you don't say. all you do is cuddle this hedgehog.]

Your patience is appreciated. I am... happy like this. It isn't easy to express, but I hope you know that.

[we got the robot addicted to cuddling, truly the character arc we needed]

Don't even worry; that's never been in question. [Sonic pokes Neo's little chest blaster, carefully, but it's almost the equivalent of poking someone in the chest.] You've got your own way of expressing that happiness, and I'm glad to keep experiencing it. And being the reason for it.

Looks like you went and grew a squishy, organic heart all your own.

[It's teasing, but it's very gentle; Sonic sounds proud of him, if anything. As Sonic nuzzles properly into Neo and feels himself start to drift, he just kind of lets himself curl up into Neo again.]

...I know I don't say it enough, but I really am proud of you, Neo. You've come extremely far in findin' yourself.

[it's like socializing a feral cat, now he demands cuddles all the time.

His eyes flick down to follow Sonic's movements, though Neo doesn't react to the flick against his chest.]

I am incapable of growing an organic body part.

[...does he take these things very literally or is he just joking...]

Regardless, I am pleased to hear it. I never would have thought I would want something like this... or that I would want much at all to begin with.

[One hand comes up to run through Sonic's quills as he so often does; he can feel his boyfriend getting sleepy, and Neo certainly doesn't mind remaining right here with him until he's fallen asleep.]

...Thank you, Sonic.

[For his patience, for his persistence, and for his numerous attempts to gently coach Neo through his various crises about actually being a person instead of just a killing machine.]
