The door to Sonic's room was knocked on. The hedgehog was lying in bed, listening to his cousin Hatsune Miku's music on his little radio, holding his favorite teddy bear that he had since he was a kid. It's smaller than it was when he was a child but it still gave him support when he needed it.
"What do you want?" Sonic said through his tears. He had been crying since his breakup and Sonic felt like he'd never stop crying since then.
"Kid, we need to talk," Snake said on the other end.
"Go away" Sonic said.
"Come on kid. Just let me talk to you. It won't be bad I promise" Snake said. Sonic turned off the music.
"Fine" Sonic said. The door opened and Snake was on the other end. He closed the door behind him as he entered his room.
"What do you want?" Sonic said, still lying in bed. Snake sat next to his bed.
"What's wrong kid?" Snake asked. "Is the breakup too much for you to handle?"
"Why must this happen twice?" Sonic said. "I thought with Exe I could start over and be happy again but then suddenly I've fallen out of love with him and it caused us to split. Why did it have to happen again?" Sonic said. "Even though I'm back together with Shadow now, I can't stop thinking about what I had with Exe. And now he has a boyfriend. Why could he move on and not me?"
"The healing process is different for everyone" Snake said. "Some people move on faster than others. It took me 10 years to move on from what I had with Meryl. And even then I was barely with Otacon. You're not alone kid. You just need to give it some time"
"How did you move on Dad?" Sonic asked.
"I put my mind on different things. I absorbed myself with my missions and stuff that naturally I was able to forget my problems and move on. It's what keeps me going to this day" Snake said.
"Is it really that easy?" Sonic said, sitting up.
"Well yeah. You have sitting your mind on something new for a change. Like, what about Tomorrow's match? It's gonna be you vs the ice climbers right?" Snake asked.
"Yeah, they're some disastrous twins" Sonic said.
"And next week? You and Shadow we're gonna go to the amusement park?" Snake said.
"Oh yeah. Last time we went, he threw up on the roller coaster. I laughed at him because he's such a dork. You know what Dad, that really helped me alot. Thank you" Sonic said.
"Anytime kid" Snake said. The two of them hugged it out as their problems had been resolved.
The next day, the dads met up again.
"So how did it go?" Terry asked.
"It went great. Surprisingly, We manage to work things out and now Sonic has finally moved on from his heartbreak" Snake said. The dads cheered.
"That's so great to hear, Snake." Chrom said. "I'm glad that things are going great with you and your son. We'll be excited to hear what you guys did in the next meeting"
"Uhh about that" Snake said.
"What's the matter?" Chrom asked.
"I got a call from my Colonel. Foxhound is attempting to destroy the world again. He says I have to leave Smash temporarily to do this mission. I already talked to Sonic about it. He's not too happy" Snake said. A flashback played in his head.
"Do you really have to go?" Sonic asked.
"I'm sorry kid but your old man has to save the world again. You'll have the fighters here to watch over you while I'm gone. It'll only be a week anyway" Snake told him.
"He then clinged onto my leg, pleading me not to go" Snake said as the flashback ended.
"I'm so sorry that you went through that Snake. We promise as dads, we'll watch over your son. It's the best we can do" Terry said. Bowser and Chrom nodded.
"Thanks guys I knew I could trust you" Snake said.
