~Nap~
Exhaustion tugged at Mario as he sluggishly made his way to the dormitories, barely able to stay awake thanks to his heavy eyelids drooping every second or so. Going through "Classic Mode" was a requirement for every Smasher, and even though he'd been through it several times before in previous tournaments it was no less taxing.
With a great deal of effort Mario made it to the dormitories, making his way down the hallway to his room and unlocking the door, stepping into the room and his eyes falling on the twenty-two year old already asleep under the covers, having gone through his challenge earlier in the day.
Closing the door behind him, Mario took off his shoes and headed over to the bed, shaking Sonic's shoulder. Sonic stirred, eyes opening and smiling when he noticed Mario standing there.
"Hey," he greeted, yawning as he moved aside in order to let Mario get into bed next to him. "How'd it go?"
"Good, I think." Mario replied as they wrapped their arms around each other and pressed their foreheads together.
"That's good," Sonic murmured, his eyes beginning to fall shut again. "Glad it's over though..."
"Yeah..." Mario agreed, closing his eyes and enjoying the moment of tranquility between them.
...Until Sonic began to snore, that is.
