Love Confessions - Drunk - Alicia & Sonic

[queen_of_mean]

 It's often hard to tell other people live and work in Alicia's castle, mostly because it's so huge and the people are so few. They tend to stay out of Alicia's way, not wanting to bother her (and fearing her wrath) and some days are easier than others. Today, one of the servants wound up accidentally breaking several bottles of wine - worrying over his lady's actions, the servant quickly cleaned up the mess, and replaced the bottles with the first ones he found in the market.

This was a bad choice for everyone.

Later on that day, Alicia and Sonic would return to the castle after a long day of training and battle against Scourge's men. It had rattled her nerves, which was why she headed to the wine cellar with a goblet.

"I don't suppose you'd care for a drink or two." At least she was nice to offer... kinda condescendingly, but still.

Any energy to make a snappy remark or an insult had vanished. Now Alicia even wanted to fall asleep, to forget this foolishness and escape to the only peaceful refuge she had. Yet despite this, she tried to keep her eyes open as long as she could once she was on the mattress. She stared at him, but never said a word.

Maybe she was afraid he wouldn't be there when she woke up, despite knowing how impossible this was. Maybe she was comforted by his presence. Maybe a million things - but she stared and stared at him, intent with her gaze, making it stretch out until her eyelids were far too heavy to fight.

Her hand laid out in a quiet attempt to take his, but then was still.

Given her persistent glance he almost expected Alicia to say something else--something snarky but fitting to the situation--but it didn't come to pass. Sonic had to give a light smile as she reached for him.

And then she was out for the count.

"Heh. Good night to you too." He put his hand on hers. "I'll see you in the morning." Sonic turned in order to head to his own bed, but hesitated as he seemed to be considering something. "..." He turned back quickly and gave her a light peck on the forehead before resigning to his makeshift bed on the floor.
