Zero's POV ♾

"Well, of course they look old. I've been wearing them since my squad was around before everything changed." I mentioned.

"I see." Gadget went. "And, one more thing...If you're looking for clean towels and washcloths, they're up on the 2nd shelf that's next to the sink. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are on the 3rd shelf."

"Thanks." I said before heading in the bathroom and closing the door behind me.

I made sure to lock it too, so Gadget doesn't go "ninja wolf" and scare the mess out of me again like he did the last two times.

I don't know how he's able to pull it off like that, especially for somebody who's a rookie in the Sonic Team.

If he keeps doing that, he's probably gonna be like Shadow or like that one chameleon who's part of the Sonic team too.

As I was about to get in the shower, I noticed my eyes looked puffy.

Had I been crying in my sleep, these last few days ago, without realizing?

Gadget didn't say anything about it, so I'm guessing that I did while the both of us were asleep during the night.

I'm still worried about what'll happen to me when Gadget and I head over to the resistance base and I have to explain everything.

I know one thing for certain though...I sure in the hell don't wanna get sent to prison.

Gadget's POV ⚙️

While Zero was in the bathroom, getting himself cleaned up, I was in the basement, looking through my old clothes to see if there's one in Zero's size.

Much to my disappointment, I found none.

Not even my old shoes were around his size.

I sighed before I putted the clothes back in the boxes and got up from the floor.

"Well...Looks like I'm going to the store." I said to myself before brushing the dust off of me.

Then I headed upstairs and started to get everything that I needed before putting my jacket on and heading out of the house.

While I was at the store, I noticed that a few people were gossiping about Infinite's "death".

I smirked and rolled my eyes at that.

Idiots.

"Are these clothes and shoes around your size? Because, they look like they'd be a little bit big on someone who's small like you." I heard the cashier ask before leaving me a smartass comment.

That's when I gave the cashier one of my death stares that'd be terrifying enough to make you regret for what you said.

"Well, no. They're not around my size at all. I was buying them for someone I'm currently dating...

Besides, I'm not someone who'd currently would be such a smartass and judgmental in front of someone who just happens to be a part of the resistance." I replied, giving him the big hint, after I paid for the clothes.

The cashier's face paled in shock as he looked at me before I gave him a fake smile, acting like as if his commentary didn't bother me at all.

As I was about to leave, I looked over at the cashier for a moment.

"And by the way...I'm reporting to the manager that you were being disrespectful to your customers, I hope you get fired and have a nice day." I said before leaving.

Then I started laughing hard as I made it home, remembering that priceless look on the cashier's face, as I was removing the price tags from the clothes.

I definitely got him real good and taught his ass a lesson.

Once all of the price tags were removed, I picked out a red and black outfit and cool pair of shoes, before I headed upstairs and laid them down at the foot of the bed for Zero.
