What's this now? Why it's a new AU, this time featuring a rarely talked about version of Sonic: Nicky!

In this universe, Sonic the Hedgehog is still the same mysterious hero that pops out of nowhere, but curiously he's also barefoot. It doesn't stop him from saving the day, even if Eggman tries to capture him in ticklish devices sometimes.

At first, Nicky thinks it's odd that he fights without shoes, but after finding an advertisement on reflexology, he decides to try it himself. Unfortunately this causes Anton's bullying to become more targeted, sometimes leaving things for Nicky to step on or trying to capture him in a similar vein to Eggman.

These events cause Nicky to retreat into the forest, having enough of the other's antics, and prompts a somewhat frantic search from his family. When Paulie finds him, he is surprised at Nicky's adamant stance on not going back to Hedgehog Town with Anton being uncontrollable. But ever the supportive parent to his son's genuine heart, Paulie decides to copy his son and tosses away his own shoes as well. Due to a past injury he does need an arch support band on his left foot, but Nicky appreciates the gesture.

Thankfully, Nicky's school is willing to work with Paulie, who is able to deliver his son's schoolwork every week to keep his education going. Once a few years pass and digital management is more ingrained, Paulie joins Nicky full-time, finding a joy in their new adventure, roughing it with nothing between them. Over time, the two will grow closer, especially as in this universe, Paulie has some extra history with Sonic, and learns his connection to his son.

After time, Nicky trades the sweater for a vest, and in place of his shoes, he has small bags strapped to his legs with emergency supplies. Paulie bears the brunt of the load, generally, such as tarps for makeshift roofing.

This piece was sketched by xdragoon on Twitter, then lined and colored by me! I only did flats because this is a reference piece.

Like my colors, or want to see me write a drabble for something I've posted? I have a tip jar! It'll help me support more artists and in turn I can expand my skill!
