There was nothing else but the dark night sky and crickets occasionally chirping outside as Sonic lay in his bed, asleep. His gloves were set on his nightstand while his shoes were laying on the floor.
The sheets were wrapped around him as he quietly snored and mumbled in his sleep while he dreamed of all sorts of wild adventures yet to come.
From one of the dark shadows of the room, came a gloved hand formed from dark energy, and out soon climbed Xenophanes, who looked wide awake despite looking like they just dragged themselves out of bed. Their red pupils glowed in the night as he glanced at Sonic. He thought for a second, before making themselves raise above the floor with their energy, floating right next to Sonic's bed.
He had layed himself down right beside Sonic, resting Sonic's head close to his chest and under his chin, letting Sonic keep all of the blankets as Xeno didn't need them. He just rested there with Sonic for a while, his arms wrapped around the blue hedgehog, before soon dozing off for a short while.
He really cared about Sonic, he admired him. He just couldn't ever put it into words.
About two hours later, Xenophanes woke up, finding Sonic in a strange position that would've made Xeno burst into uncontrollable laughter if he had no self control. He pulled Sonic fully back into bed, tucked him in the best they could, before vanishing off into the shadows again.
