   • because apparently it's the only thing i can write
   • if sega didn't want me to traumatise their mascot they shouldn't have included the torture line in the english translation
   • so when you really think about it this is their fault actually
   • sonic: if i simply don't think about my trauma it will go away
   • lmao jk jk. that would involve him acknowledging he's traumatised
   • Denial
   • i'll probably add more tags as i go bc tbh i won't know everything in here until i write it
   • in this house we go into fics with a skeleton of an outline and pants it from there
   • no beta we die like men
   • this fic is just an excuse to write about shadow giving sonic flowers

   Summary

   Sonic is totally fine after he returns from the Death Egg and the war is over. Losing his breath and thinking the world isn't real sometimes doesn't mean he isn't fine, not that his friends would understand that. Besides, flowers usually make him feel all better, so it isn't even that bad!

   Shadow catches on, though, and he's surprisingly... helpful with the flowers thing. Even when he doesn't need to be.

   Now if only he'd stop acting like something is wrong. After all, Sonic is fine
