⠀ ❪ Espio’s cheeks were soft tinge of pink, he kinda just accepted it at this point. He spoke up rather quickly. ❫ 〝 Nothing! Nothing. I was just caught by surprise, that’s all. 〞 ⠀

‼️ ❪ Very much caught off guard, but embraced her back, averting his eyes for a moment. Don’t overheat bro. 💀 ❫

⠀ 〝 Of course. 〞 ❪ After closing the door on the passenger side, he’d walk around the car to the driver’s side and took a seat before closing the door. Immediately after turning on the car, he turned on the heat. ❫ ⠀

❪ Giving her a peck on the cheek, surprisingly calm. ❫ I apologize if I have seemed distant.
⠀ 〝 Careful… 〞 ❪ He murmured, keeping her close to him as they made their way over to the Beat Monster, a shiny car that looked well-maintained. Guiding her to the passenger door, he opened it and gestured her to enter with a soft smile. ❫ 〝 Ladies first. 〞 ⠀

"cold! it's super cold."
⠀ ❪ Espio stood up and offered his arm to her so she could stay close, the bashfulness melting away. He’s quite proud of the jingle! It’s catchy. ❫ 〝 It’s a pretty far drive from here, but I’ll make sure the car is warm enough. You can rest on the couch if you need to. 〞 ⠀

"how far away is your office from here?"
⠀ ❪ His smile widened, reaching in his pocket as the sounds of keys were heard. ❫ 〝 Ahh…the Sol Dimension, that’s where her highness lives. Glad to meet another resident. Since you travel, I’ll let you stay in our office for now. It may be rustic, but it’s special to us. 〞 ❪ Taking out the +

⠀ ❪ Espio nodded in understanding. Being a chameleon himself, coldness isn’t really his ally. And once they went inside the building, his normal shade of fuchsia returned. ❫ 〝 I am not quite a fan of very cold weather myself, or…very hot weather. Do you live nearby? 〞 ⠀
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊@patheticdoll.bsky.social · 8mo ago"i'll probably be warm enough soon. i promise. . . but as it gets darker outside, it'll only get colder. i'm not used to the cold anymore," she confessed. due to living on an island, charlotte was mostly used to good weather. while there was some chill, it wasn't enough to make her overly frigid.
⠀ ❪ He felt his cheeks flush only a little, but shook off the feeling before responding, carefully adjusting the scarf with one hand. ❫ 〝 Until you’re ready. 〞 ⠀

"your scarf is very warm. did you want to stay in here for a little bit," she asked timidly.
⠀ ❪ A small chuckle, hugging her back with a calm, yet warm smile as he responded. ❫ 〝 It’s no problem, and I’ll be sure to let you know. I think I’ll be all right, the coat is keeping me warm. 〞 ⠀

⠀ ❪ Espio smiled gently at her, gently removing his scarf and reaching over to carefully wrap it around her neck and shoulders. It was an Aran Knit scarf, very beautiful! ❫ 〝 No need, I’m wearing a winter coat. You…are not, but I appreciate your concern. 〞 ⠀
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊@patheticdoll.bsky.social · 8mo ago"we can share the scarf," she insisted, not wanting to be selfish or take away one of his sources of warmth. charlotte sat there, her free hand placed against the table. a small and shy smile was present on her features. the sol hedgehog appeared happy being near espio.
⠀ 〝 Good… 〞 ❪ Espio said with a smile, sitting across from her and taking her hand into his. The ninja felt his cheeks heat up, but he brushed it off. If…he could try. He looked down at his scarf, then at her before responding. ❫ 〝 I could give you my scarf for now. If—that’s fine with you. 〞 ⠀
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊@patheticdoll.bsky.social · 8mo agothe timid hedgehog slowly sat down, eyes following espio's every move. she gently extended her hand once more, clearly wanting him to hold it. "I think I'll warm up in here," she said with confidence and happiness evident on her face. the shivering was becoming less of a problem at least.
⠀ ❪ Espio let go of her hand momentarily to open the door and walk her inside, then he went back to holding her hand as he took them to a table that wasn’t near a window. He’d pull the seat out for her. ❫ ⠀

"y -- yes, espio," she stammered. charlotte felt a little bit warmer being next to espio, but she still needed to go inside.
⠀ 〝 No. 〞 ❪ Espio’s grip upon her hand tightened unintentionally as he stood up quickly, his worry growing even more. He pulled her close and made his way over to the building without much hesitation as he responded. ❫ 〝 We’re going inside. 〞 ⠀
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊@patheticdoll.bsky.social · 8mo ago"i should have worn a winter jacket," the sol dimension hedgehog replied, gently taking his hand with her trembling one. charlotte attempted to stand, trying to keep from leaning too much against him. the last thing she wanted was to make him uncomfortable. "i -- i'll be okay."
⠀ ❪ Her question would be answered later, something else weighed heavily on his mind; her wellbeing. Espio grew worried, speaking up as his eyes flicked towards the interior of the café. ❫ 〝 Let’s go inside first. You’re shivering. 〞 ⠀
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊@patheticdoll.bsky.social · 8mo ago"yeah! it'll be very warm," she replied, shivering and trembling as she sat there next to him, trying to keep herself from worrying him. "or maybe we can get some tea. . . . or maybe warm matcha. what do you think, espio?"
⠀ ❪ A chuckle, giving her a relaxed shrug as he spoke up. A gloved hand raised to adjust his deep purple scarf as he did so. ❫ 〝 It could be both. 〞 ⠀
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊@patheticdoll.bsky.social · 8mo ago"yeah! we can get hot chocolate. it'd be really warm," she replied happily, shivering and curling up more into the rough fabric of her jean jacket. "i think it's getting colder out. either that, or the ice cream is making everything colder."
⠀ ❪ His smile softened as he averted his golden yellow eyes in thought. He enjoys hot chocolate and basically anything piping hot, even holding the mug gives him a nice feeling within…especially when it’s cold. ❫ 〝 I wouldn’t mind that. 〞 ⠀

"thank you, espio. . . . i would like to hang out with you more, though next time we can get hot chocolate." she never realized how cold it was.
⠀ ❪ Espio looked over and immediately froze. She’s…she’s really pretty..—FOCUS! Focus on responding, Espio! He tilted his head a little and smiled, offering her a napkin as he responded. ❫ 〝 Perhaps…we should. 〞 ⠀

"i'm glad! we should do this again sometime," she exclaimed, though was making an effort not to rest more against him than he was comfortable with.
