#I quite like the idea that Silver starts out a bit scrawny for a hedgehog (model comparisons from Generations show Sonic is chubbier)

"Do you think we're ever going to need a bigger bed?"

Pensively Silver studies the bed he and Espio have found themselves in- or rather, Espio's bed, really. Sure, when Silver had decided to stay in the past for good, the chameleon gallantly offered that the hedgehog was welcome to sleep in it. Together with him, as Silver would find out that very night; it had made a great day only better. But a lot of time has passed since then, and where the two of them had previously fitted perfectly snugly on the same mattress while laying on their backs as fluff and scales brushed together...

Sparks of cyan tugging Espio a bit closer so he doesn't topple right to the ground, what with how precariously he's teetering right at the edge of the bed, Silver hums. "You know, because of this."

Espio for his part merely raises an eyebrow as if he didn't nearly eat carpet two seconds ago. "Why? The two of us fit quite nicely, don't we?" follows, a gesture past their bodies following. Their bodies that are absolutely a bit taller and larger than when they met, and thus Silver pointedly prods Espio on his horn.

"You said I got broader shoulders. And I definitely got taller, too."

"I have not missed that," Espio, still the tallest between the two of them but secretly fearing to lose that spot, Silver heard from Vector once, nods sagely. "There is just one problem, love. Even if we need it... we can't pay for it."

"...Hm. Okay, good point." With how the Chaotix seem cursed to experience financial woes any other day, Silver can easily piece together that a whole new bed is perhaps not a main priority right now. That means they need to adapt until then; nothing he isn't used to, luckily. But... Scooting backwards as far as he can the hedgehog grimaces as his spines hits the wall far too quickly. Espio can lay down like this, if the both of them are on their sides-

Which allows for opportunities, Silver realises as his grimace flips right into a little grin. Promptly he scrambles around so he faces the wall instead, demanding psychokinesis tugging Espio right against the curve of his body. "But this will solve that, no?"

Espio knocks against him, a huff of breath sinking into Silver's mane as the chameleon flounders. "Silver-! Well, possibly," the response comes, followed by a bemoaning "However, I always sleep on my back, so we do need to find something for that."

Contently huffing as Espio's arm wraps itself around Silver's body the hedgehog nods. "I can sleep on your stomach tonight, then."

"Tenshi," the bemoaning-er response follows, "you also got heavier."

"So did you," Silver wastes no time in retorting, ears flicking madly. Not his fault that he's getting bigger and stronger by the day! But from what little he can crane his head around to glare at Espio he can easily glean the more amused little look on his beloved's face, a peck pressed between the two large quills on his head.

"Perhaps we can create something ourselves, with old furniture. We've got time to spare, after all. And then we can sleep in spacious comfort once more."

"First cuddles," Silver smugly orders, because he's found quite the comfy position like this, and he's not going to let Espio go until he's got his share of affection for rescuing the other's very life just now and also payment for these horrible teases. Luckily they can still fit on the bed in this way...

But if they do not anymore one day, he's really going to demand Espio get them more space to sleep in, Silver promises to himself.

Anything to safeguard these cuddles.
