Working on..!

Another toaster.

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

Waving!

"Oh hi! Nice to see you around!~"

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

Woah Zone Cops.

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

Shaking himself off

"Bleugh, Dudes I'm awake"

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

Sorry gang, Had my toaster blow up again!~

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

The hedgehog just squeaked again, Before going still as the other finally stopped

"Oh...?
I suppose so! Do you see anything here you think would fit me...? I don't tend to ge clothes shopping much."

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤOh thank god, Knuckles would feel bad if he wasn't . Eventually , he'd skip into the clothing store with the hedgehog in tow , strolling over to a rack of clothes .

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ❝ I think we should start here , in the casual section .ᐟ ❞
ㅤㅤㅤ

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

Aaaand he's getting pulled along with a squeak!
...
He's okay with this.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❝ Mhm , yeah let's go .ᐟ ❞

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ He stood up from his spot , immediately taking the lead and walking along to one of his nearby shops .

A little chuckle soon escaped the hedgehog, Before a playful roll of his eyes.
His little tail wagging rather quickly

"Well, Should we get going?"

[🎕┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋ 𝙼𝙾𝙱𝙸𝚄𝚂' 𝓢𝓦𝓔𝓔𝑇𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 ❋ @ECHIDNA_KEEPER]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
��ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤIt's a little too obvious to tell Knuckles is trying his best to not seem /too/ excited . His eyes perk up for justtt a second before returning to normal .

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ❝ O-Okay , awesome .ᐟ I mean , uh —— coolll . Very cool .❞

Silence, Thinking

Small grin

"I mean... I don't NEED to take it off if you don't want me to~
I can go in it if you want."

[🎕┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋ 𝙼𝙾𝙱𝙸𝚄𝚂' 𝓢𝓦𝓔𝓔𝑇𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 ❋ @ECHIDNA_KEEPER]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❝ Do you ... haveeee to .ˀ I dunno , I think the outfit still works , even if we're only going to the store . ❞

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ He states as a sort of half-joke , bouncing on his toes .
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤ

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

"Hmm...
Sure! Why not? That sounds rather fun anyways!"

He said with a happy little hum and a light squeeze

"I just gotta go get changed again."

[🎕┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋ 𝙼𝙾𝙱𝙸𝚄𝚂' 𝓢𝓦𝓔𝓔𝑇𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 ❋ @ECHIDNA_KEEPER]

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

"Ah I'm sure he's fine! You know how he is.
ANYWAYS enough about Shadow! When do you think we should head out? I mean, It's not like I'm busy."

[🎕┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋ 𝙼𝙾𝙱𝙸𝚄𝚂' 𝓢𝓦𝓔𝓔𝑇𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 ❋ @ECHIDNA_KEEPER]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❝ Ah right , I know how he gets . . .

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ Haven't heard from 'im in a while though . I hope he's alright —— .ᐟ ❞

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ Tapping his chin . . . Knuckles can't help but worry about his friends .
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤ

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

A light brow raise at them clapping their hands, Though he swiftly shook himself off

"Sure! That doesn't sound bad at all!
Besides... It'd avoid me having to ask Shadow for help... Knowing him he'd take hours..."

[🎕┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋ 𝙼𝙾𝙱𝙸𝚄𝚂' 𝓢𝓦𝓔𝓔𝑇𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 ❋ @ECHIDNA_KEEPER]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ Biggg gasp .. and now he's clapping his hands excitedly . What is he planning . . .

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ❝ I know , I know .ᐟ Lemme help you pick out an outfit .ᐟ We can visit one of the clothing stores I manage .. ❞
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤ

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

A little giggle soon followed as he just sorta stared at the other for a bit, Before lightly blinking

"...OH right
As I was saying, Yeah I should probably find a different outfit then this to work with you in-"

[🎕┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋ 𝙼𝙾𝙱𝙸𝚄𝚂' 𝓢𝓦𝓔𝓔𝑇𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 ❋ @ECHIDNA_KEEPER]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThe echidna seemed to want to say something , opening his mouth to do so before he was pulled into a hug , immediately melting into the embrace .. His tail is wagging like crazyyy.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❝ U h —— yeah , you're welcome .ᐟ ❞

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

Faking being offended

"Wooooow you really used MY words against ME? How DARE!"

Clearly fake offended sounding voice, Though a giggle soon followed before a sigh, Arms now wrapping around them.

"Alright alright.
I mean... All that matters is you think it's adorable!"

[🎕┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋ 𝙼𝙾𝙱𝙸𝚄𝚂' 𝓢𝓦𝓔𝓔𝑇𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 ❋ @ECHIDNA_KEEPER]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❝ But you areee . . . Heh , maybe it's time for you to give /yourself/ some credit .ᐟ ❞

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ He's grinning from ear to ear , hopping up from his seat to walk over .
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤ

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

A blush formed on his own muzzle, Before lightly shaking his own head

"You really think so...?
I mean, I think I look nice and all but I wouldn't say I'm ADORABLE..."

[🎕┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋ 𝙼𝙾𝙱𝙸𝚄𝚂' 𝓢𝓦𝓔𝓔𝑇𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 ❋ @ECHIDNA_KEEPER]

ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤJolting in response to the thud , he giggles , staying silent as Sonic comes down to show off the outfit . A small gasp leaves him as the echidna covers his mouth , a light blush forming .

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ❝ Aaaa , you look adorable .ᐟ .ᐟ ❞
ㅤ
ㅤ

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

And there was a loud thunk against the ground

"IGNORE THAT!"

Silence for a moment
A few steps down the stairs, Before poking his head into the kitchen, Before finally stepping out.

"Soooo... Whatcha think?"

[🎕┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋ 𝙼𝙾𝙱𝙸𝚄𝚂' 𝓢𝓦𝓔𝓔𝑇𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 ❋ @ECHIDNA_KEEPER]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❝ Oh alrighttt , I'll be right here when you're ready .ᐟ ❞

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ Knuckles watches him leave , setting his now empty plate into the sink to wash later ... his tail wagging side to side excitedly .
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

[-ˏˋ𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 @SpeedyInventor]

"Okay! Gimme one sec!
I keep it BURIED in my closet so, I gotta grab it."

He said, Giving a cheeky little smile before zooming up to his room to get it on.

"Oh, Yeah!

I don't wear it ofren, Again I just sorta use it for special occasions, Like those few parties I've been to in the other place."

He said with a chuckle.

"You wanna see it? I mean, I don't mind putting it on!"
