I've been thinking about some headcanons of Sonic and Tail's younger years, I like the idea that Uncle chuck had been around for Sonic from infancy and raised him until he unfortunetly passed when Sonic was 11. Then having thorough abandoment issues but doing a spectacular job of not showing it Sonic latches on to the first other abandoned person he meets which is Tails, who has a whole other heep of issue from being deemed a freak cuz of his twin tails and scary development of intelligence.
Tails really thought this hyperactive speedster hedgehog was gonna leave him and then suddenly its 5 years later and they're pratically inseperable
