Tails grumbled as Sonic brushed out his fur

 Jan 5th 2025

Tails grumbled as Sonic brushed out his fur. He was never a fan of this. However, it needed to be done. Multiple things had gotten tangled in his fur. Bolts, burrs from plants, several thin metal pieces left over from spin dashing eggbots, probably a few things from Tails’ own lab. Sonic merely hummed as he took his sweet time brushing the young things. 

“Why is this taking sooooo long?” Tails groaned as he tossed his head back to look pout at his big brother. 

“Some things can't be rushed Little bro,” Sonic smiled as he glanced up to met his blue eyes before darting back to the part of fur he was brushing. 

“You're moving at a snail’s pace.” Tails grumbled as his leg fidgeted. 

“Takes time.” Sonic sang softly. 

Tails groaned. He never understood how the blue hedgehog rushed through everything. But became a slow mo when it was time to brush out his fur. At least Tails had the option to either watch TV or stare out the window. Tails, however, was not interested in watching whatever channel Sonic had the TV turned to. 

A soft knock caught their attention. Sonic turned to call at the door. 

“Hi Shadow!” Tails called. He turned to face Sonic, “We had plans to look over his bike.”

Sonic nodded as he wrapped an arm around the fox. He had dealt with his runaway antics before to not trust leaving the fox alone. “
