IN KIND, AND IN TASTE

Pairing(s); Flashy flash x reader x speed-o’-sound sonic Flashy flash x reader Speed-o'-sound sonic x reader Genre; love triangle, rivalry summary; rivalry between two ninjas, and former partners, to earn the heart of their shared attraction. We'll start off with a general paragraph for both Sonic and Flash then yeah ahahha LONG A/N: idk what this is haha NOT PROOFREAD, so excuse any grammar /spelling mistakes or overall sloppy writing

there was certainly something special about you, there’s no doubt about it, how could someone ‘average’ be capable of attracting the fancy of, not only one highly skilled stoic ninja. But two!

was it also a coincidence that both of them, flashy flash and speed-o’-sound sonic, were raised in the same ninja village and were even formally called friends.

The two sword-wielders seemed to have more in common than one would think. Their fighting style, their body types, and even their taste,

You were like nothing they had ever seen. They gravitated towards you like moths to a radiant light.

You were insanely powerful, no doubt about that. The way you carried yourself was nothing less than captivating. You were just so desirable to them. So well crafted… perfect for them.

Speed-o’-sound sonic at first rivals you, and is pleasantly surprised by your sheer strength. He thought the emotions he was feeling were just the adrenaline of the thrill he gets from fighting strong opponents. But it was different for you. Every time he challenged you, and lost, he grew more infatuated by you rather than frustrated. He starts being nicer toward you, his definition of nice, at least. Going up to you more to greet you than to fight you, maybe ask about your day. He’s very awkward and stiff in these exchanges, due to the fact he’s not really used to “friendly ” conversations with other people. The more he does it, the better he gets at it though. But, lord… he’s so incredibly allured by you. By everything you do. His small interest had morphed into a suffocating attachment toward you. It became a routine, whenever you’re doing some mundane task, away from friends or work, Sonic always appears by your side, greeting you in his own unique way. He accompanies you, listening to you attentively as you talk about your day or anything you’re interested in. In his head, he’s scribbling down notes on what you like, and more information about that interest if you talk about it to him. He pays close attention to everything you do. And can often tell when you’re feeling down, no matter how good you are at hiding it. He demands that you tell him what's wrong, if you do, he’ll say something like “how dare something so insignificant trouble someone like you! I’ll eliminate it.” And attempts to comfort you (but he sucks at it), but it warrants a laugh from you so it's alright. He stays by your side until he's sure you feel better. He goes all out whenever you're watching him fight, flaunting his amazing skill and speed. Then eagerly tries to get you to complement or say something positive about his moves, he tries not to make it obvious but its obvious... He’ll do anything you ask of him, he’ll burn the world down if that’s what you wanted.

Flahy flash has a keen eye, especially for potential and power, and you were far from lacking either. He’s amused by you, to say the least. He watches you from afar for awhile, his interest in you building up slowly with every gaze that was fixated on you. As a “test” (💀), he attacks you, but you dodge his attacks and start interrogating him on why he was attacking you. He apologizes and says his hand slipped (?), then introduces himself to you. He caresses your hand and leans to brush a gentle kiss on your knuckles, almost like a prince (who had just tried to cut you). In this first official greeting, he introduces himself, even though you probably know who he is, using big words and stuff to impress you, also he makes sure to stand extra tall and proper when you're around, glancing at you subtly just to see if you were looking at him by any chance. If you're a hero, whether an S-class or a lower rank, he'll go out of his way to try and join you when you're doing hero work, if anything, it kind of makes him more productive and faster in his own tasks (he just wants to finish everything on his agenda so he can have an excuse to join you in whatever you're doing) If you're on missions together, expect him to show grace to his name: "flashy", he'll make sure he's extra quick, dramatic, and extra photogenic when he's defeating enemies, most of the time not even giving you a chance to fight anything just so you can witness his chivalry and precision. Away from hero work (or maybe you're not even a hero) He's more gentle and soft, his words rolling off his tongue with unwavering charm. He truly has a way with words. You don't notice but he stares at you lovingly whenever you're talking, sometimes your words fade away as he starts to admire your beauty, and he'll often have to ask you to repeat what you said. He showers you with gifts, he pretends like its no big deal and he just has extra money to spare, but it doesn't go unnoticed to you that everytime you like a post about a product you like or your eyes lingers long enough at something, its suddenly at your doorstep the next day (obv from flash). Between the two, he's the more obvious one, it doesn't show in his expressions however, which makes you doubt if he truly has some kind of feelings for you or if he was sent to kill you or something. (he just never noticed how cold his face looks when its strained, poor guy, he's just used to earing that face all the time)

Tranquil pupils follow your solemn form as you stroll by, blissfully unaware of the borrowing owl gazing upon your glory, your elegance, your unfathomable enchantress. It isn’t possible for someone to feel this much devotion for someone who doesn’t even belong to them, yet. You must have bewitched him, ensnared him into your unrelenting hold.

Flashy flash’s face remained still, composed, cold. His eyes were sharp as he continued to trail your grace. Softness was not in his pallet, not even for you, at least not until you realize how phenomenal and absolutely dashing he was. Every step, every move every action of his is calculated, precise, dripping with sheer, staggering skill.

He was no ordinary person, and neither were you. You two were made for each other. He would make sure to show you how worthy you are of him. How you two deserve each other. But…

He feels a twitch from his eyesbrow, his eyes being violated by a dark, depressing pest, now standing beside you. Were you smiling just now? At that guy, no less…? How horrid… how could you grin at such a sight. It would help if Speed-o’-sound sonic was the least bit knowledgeable on how to dress, but his sense of style was simply as grotesque as his features.

Hey, sonic’s a highly wanted criminal. Why not just swoop in and attack him?

...

He can’t do that. It might upset you.

Right, a match made in heaven. Then what was stopping flash from simply asking you on a date? Charming you with his elegance and his smooth tongue (in more ways that one). He can imagine how his date with you would go, what he would do, what he would say, and where he would take you, to render you awe-truck and successfully his. He’s an S-class hero, for god’s sake! And he's hung with you many times before, it wouldn't be uncomfortable for either of you...

That look that you gave Sonic. That’s what was stopping him, that lingering gaze… that he would never wish to see you direct to anyone but him. He feels his jaw tighten further with every passing second, with every word exchanged by you and Sonic. Flashy flash clicked his tongue and sprinted off, cursing to himself, and vowing that he would take care of this predicament later.

Sonic's soft gaze shifted from your face to the roof of a building, significantly far from them, his eyes hardening back to his usual expression. He could sense Flashy flash's precence from a mile away, Flash truly underestimated Sonic's abilities, huh?

Just as aware as Flash was of Sonic and your closeness, Sonic was aware of Flash and yours.
