#espio angst

I headcanon Espio fears failure.

Based off his line when he gets hit in Sonic Heroes.

(tw for child abuse below cut.)

The place where Espio learned ninjitsu was too strict. No tolerance for failure, and punishment for it.

No wonder Espio left that place.

Expectations

oh damn im sorry espio, i was only trying to jokeing around….

Cupcake? I keep them on me for when im sad, or upset i guess it helps me feel better

I also should’ve mentioned i use she/they sorry for not thinking of mentioning that but then again I don’t really care enough about what people use on me to say, you know? Its all in good laughs, my jokes, they never were funny though, again im sorry

Anyways you should go talk to silver help him name the cat

He looks like he wants to yell at you or be really mad, but he takes a deep breath and nervously takes the cupcake

I.. I suppose it's all in good fun. I'm not very good at... Understanding? Yes I believe that'd be the correct word, understanding jokes and such. I agree with Silver though that I was acting... Immature. Therefore I apologize. I'm very used to having things I enjoy being taken from me, you see, and I get very protective over them. I will go talk to him though. Thank you, Anon.

Then they talk and make up (and out) and live happily ever after

My headcanon is that he's from an elite tribe of chameleon ninjas with extremely high standards, but was actually not great at being a ninja (only compared to their standards because they're unreasonable), and so he ended up striking out on his own because he didn't feel like he was good enough and to sort of prove himself.

And then he met Vector who was like "you know what your family sounds like jerks you're my kid now actually" and now he's slowly unlearning his unhealthy perfectionist mindset.

⚪- You're Safe

Silver may over react when it comes to the safety of his loved ones.

He has been known to constrict Sonic under Vines when he was going berserk in his werewolf form to keep himself and others safe.

Invisible

Even as a human instead of an actual chameleon, the feeling of being "invisible" is something that Espio still understands.

TW for (vague) implications of suicidal ideation

"Do you ever feel... invisible?"

Vector paused the homework he was doing and glanced up at him. He raised one eyebrow, forehead furrowed, and Espio immediately regretted the question. Of course not. Of course he was the only one. The only one who felt so... weird.

It was just... for the third time this week, he'd surprised someone by walking in too quietly. No one noticing him when he was standing right there. It was a trait he'd had since childhood, and it was useful sometimes, but...

And it was more than that. It was the way that no one seemed to know how he was feeling. When other people felt sad or angry or depressed, people noticed. People asked how they were, comforted them.

But not for him. Even on his very worst days, no matter how close to a breakdown he was, no one ever noticed.

That should be a good thing. He'd been taught his whole life that he wasn't allowed to express emotions. Apparently, he was finally successful at it.

So, why did it feel so bad that no one noticed?

Why did he get this deep, sinking feeling, like no one was even aware of his existence? Like he didn't matter enough for anyone on this campus to see him?

"Whadaya mean?" Vector asked.

Espio searched for the words. "That... nobody sees you. Nobody knows you, or what you're feeling. You're just... there. Invisible."

Vector thought for a moment, scratching the back of his head. "I don't really have that problem. If anything, it's the opposite. People see me too much. I'm an RA. I'm captain of the football team. Everyone's always watching me, following my lead. If I mess up, everyone knows." Vector shrugged, chuckling slightly. "Doesn't help that I'm the biggest guy in campus, either. I don't exactly blend into the crowd."

Yeah. Having no privacy must be a burden of its own.

Vector tipped his head. "Do you feel invisible, sometimes?"

Espio looked down. He fidgeted with the sleeves of his sweater. "Sometimes, it feels like... if something happened to me, no one would even notice. That no one ever sees me."

A pause, and Espio got a tight feeling in his chest that he'd said too much. Been too open, too emotional.

Then Vector's hand came to rest on his shoulder.

"I see you."

Espio's breath caught in his throat. He glanced up, and Vector was looking right at him. His headphones off, his gaze unwavering. Not looking past him, or through him. He was looking at him.

Vector continued, "I might not always catch everything you're feeling, but you ain't invisible to me. You're my friend. I care about ya."

Espio felt the smallest twitch pulling the corners of his lips up.

Vector brought his hand up to ruffle through Espio's hair. "And I don't ever want ya feelin' like you're alone, or lost, or invisible, okay? If ya are, I want you to come talk to me."

Espio swallowed the lump that had risen in his throat and nodded. He didn't really know what to say. All he knew that was that, for the first time in his life, he felt like someone noticed him. And it felt... nice.
