[How are you making his body do these things!! It's fascinating to watch, because they're things he's never even attempted before, but his body responds so easily as if it isn't a problem at all. Is this Chaos energy warping him further, unintentionally on Sonic's part? Or... maybe he's always been capable of this level of emoting, he just wasn't aware of it.]

I suspect if I continue to argue, you'll just go through my databanks for further synonyms.

[It sounds only mildly exasperated, because let's be honest, that's exactly what he'd do too. So he gets it, but also: how dare!!]

It's... a little overwhelming to be complicated so much. I know you care for me, but hearing it stated so plainly is...

[He trails off, gesturing with a hand before shrugging. It's embarrassing, but he's never actually experienced embarrassment to this degree before so he's not sure what it is, other than "a little much".]

[Sonic isn't entirely sure either; despite feeling literally everything and ignoring what is probably a bunch of pop-ups right now, it feels so easy to do this right now with Neo here with him. Sonic's always been a little fancy free and light as air, but even in Neo's body and right now, it's...

It's an incredible feeling, testing things out and seeing what Neo is capable of.]

I promise I'm only giving you what I think you deserve. I mean...I'm getting to see so many new things out of you. [One of Sonic's hands go down to cup Neo's cheek, gently.] I've seen ya short circuit a bit when I kissed your hand and stuff, but seeing you able to express things like this...I dunno. I just really think it's a beautiful thing, that you've got this chance, and that I get to share it with you.

Even if you're embarrassed about it.

[Sonic kisses Neo's cheek really quick, before the lips seem to dissipate and go back to normal. Dangit.]

...But if it is too much, I don't mind stoppin'. I dunno, you just seem more...I guess free right now, and I think it's a good look on you.

[His gaze darts again, only for Neo to correct it when Sonic touches his cheek. The cool metal against his skin feels incredible; such a simple touch wouldn't really register as much in his own body. It's... still overwhelming to think about, really.]

No, no it's not too much. It's... something I'd like to get used to, I think.

[Embarrassing, perhaps, but it's not a bad thing. He doesn't know how to handle it, but that doesn't mean he wants it to stop. Sonic cares deeply for him - loves him - and Neo wants to continue experiencing that. He's never had the opportunity before now.]

I want to treat you as well as you treat me. I suppose I still need some practice, though.

[Does Sonic feel like this too? Overwhelmed, but in a good way? Maybe he needs to try harder, to make it clear just how much his boyfriend means to him.]

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.

[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.]
