#came to mind after niya commented a pun on one of my posts lmfao

[myymi]

tails spends a full day inventing and totally ignores his miles electric that buzzes very consistently with messages

he falls asleep at his workbench. his mouth is dry enough when he wakes up that he decides to take a quick break to get a bit of food and some water. he takes his miles electric to skim over the onslaught of messages he received

there's nothing too crazy at first. a good morning message from amy, a few messages from charmy asking if he's up to playing some games today, a short offer from shadow asking him to tune up the dark rider in exchange for some top secret g.u.n weaponry blueprints,,

then he sees it.

hundreds of messages from sonic.

he stares at the chat icon for a while, completely ignoring the microwave when it beeps to tell him his frozen meal was done heating up

he's expecting the worst. because he knows sonic knew he didn't respond because he was working himself half to death without taking any breaks. he thinks it's a miracle sonic never attempted to call him to scold him about it

with a heavy sigh, he opens the chat; expecting to see messages of his big brother giving out to him for what he did yesterday

but there's no such messages.

the hundreds of messages are nothing but stupid puns.

stupid, bad puns.

he knows they're awful without even reading them, because they always are, but he still snorts anyways and sends a quick message to tell the hedgehog just how big of an idiot he is

then he gets right back to work, forgetting about both his food and his drink
