Espio is in deep thought, his still watching at N/N or more like stalking him.

Ever since the discovery he found he was afraid N/N might turn their backs agaisnt them and went back serving Eggman. With or without his own will.

Espio admit, he still have feelings towards the echidna but that image can't seem to get out of his mind.

"Espio?"

He got startled when he heard someone calling his name out and sees N/N already saw him behind the tree, blinking confusingly.

Espio sweatdropped, he didn't think he would get caught. To make matters worse he was stalking him which is creepy.

"What are you doing over there?" he asked titling his head with brow raised as Espio blink and slowly walked out and felt a little emberrased and shame of himself.

"Just...walking around, didn't mean to sneak up on you like that" he said curling his lips and his tail moved a little.

N/N just stared at him before shrugging off. "Alright." he said before focusing his attention to the pond where fishes are still lived.

Espio is still quite, just looking away from N/N.

"...I noticed you've been ignoring me lately..."He suddenly spoke which Espio looked at him.

He can't see N/N's face because he have his facing his back which made Espio more anxious.

"...Do you hate me..? "he suddenly asked as Espio blink.

" No...No I don't hate you.." he said to him, walking a bit closer and stop just behind.

N/N stared at the small fishes swim around, purple eyes observed.

Espio stared remembering the clones he saw in Eggman's base, it still creeps him out but he shake his head and sigh.

"...you know...don't you..?" N/N asked as Espio look at him suprised.

"You..."

"I know? Yes...I already know..." he said to him, he turn to look away from the fishes and to him as Espio can see tears forming and start to run down from his muzzle.

"N...N/N..." Espio mumbled as N/N wiped his tears away and stared back.

"...I already know..Eggman told me..." he said with his lips curled and clenching his fists, gazing hard.

He sees his vision blurry from tears and starts wiping them away a little again.

" I'm scared...I'm scared of what Knuckles would think..that his been with a fake all the time...the others..." He started but stopped himself as he sniffed and hiccuped.

He put his hands to cover his eyes to prevent himself from crying but his failing at it.

He felt his body shaken up.

But soon warmth came and wrapped around him causing him to stop. It was Espio who hugged him.

Comforting him, pulling him closer as N/N still stared in shock, soon he hugged him back and let himself cry on his shoulder.

He isn't crying loudly but just crying while sniffling and his body trembling, the chameleon continue to comfort him as he used his hand to stroke his dreads.

"It's ganna be fine...it's ganna be fine..." he said to him keeping the echidna close to himself.

"I'll always here for you...fake or not...doesn't change me from loving you..." He said as N/N cried a little more gripping into him as Espio let him.

He open his eyes and keep comforting him.

'Your still my Starlight....'
