I remember it like it was yesterday, the day I met Sonic… He was said to be the fastest creature alive. Scratch that, he IS the fastest creature alive. I am always proud to be his sidekick, no matter what. Even if it was difficult to keep up with him before, he always helped me, and now I can keep up with him. We've been the best of friends for a very long time. We hung out in the park, went to the arcade a lot… I loved having him as a friend.
But one day when Amy showed up and went all over Sonic (as usual), I felt hurt inside… What was that feeling? I was starting to believe it was jealousy… But why would it be jealousy? Hell no, I didn't like Amy… Sure, she has been a good friend and all, but like her like that? No way!
-Flashback-
I came over to Sonic's house to have some lunch, and Amy was there. When wasn't she there? We were all sitting and talking about stuff.
"So, what are your plans this weekend, Sonic?" I asked.
Sonic was about to speak, but Amy started first.
"Sonic and I are going out to dinner for the weekend. Isn't that right?" She began to glomp him, while Sonic had a rather annoyed look on his face.
I started to get a hurt feeling inside of me…
"Oh, that's great..." I said slowly.
The more Amy clung to him, the harder I gritted my teeth.
"Hey Tails," said Sonic, "Want to come with us to dinner?"
I didn't make any eye contact. "Sure, Sonic…"
Amy clung to him one last time. "Well, you don't know what you're missing." She giggled.
I could take it anymore. The glass cup in my hand shattered instantly, spilling my soda everywhere. I immediately cringed from the small glass shards that cut my hand.
Sonic went over to me and looked at my hand. "Whoa! Are you okay, Tails?"
"I'm fine…"
Amy began to feel like it was her fault. "Uh, Tails, why did you do that?"
"I-I don't know… I'm really confused right now…"
Sonic brought me into the kitchen to carefully pull the glass shards out of my hand while blood stained my fur.
"I'm so sorry, Sonic… I didn't mean to…"
"It's okay, Tails. We all get a little angry sometimes..."
He bandaged up my hand and I thanked him and we sat down on the couch and continued talking.
-End of Flashback-
Maybe… It was Sonic I liked. When I first thought about it, I knew that there was no way I could be gay… or could I? Sonic and I have known each other for a long time, and he always stuck by my side. If I was in trouble, he'd always come to save me… There were a few times I've saved him also…
I kept on thinking about why I felt jealous… I was starting to accept the fact that I was in love with Sonic… I'm always known to him as his "little brother", or "little buddy", but I want to be more than a friend to him.
Now here I am, sitting in my bedroom, on my bed, thinking about nothing but Sonic. I haven't even picked up a wrench since I glued my mind to Sonic. I wouldn't stop thinking about him; I just wanted to be with him right away. I'll just go to his house and stay over for a little while… But how will he know how I feel? I can't just kiss him right out of the blue.
I searched for ideas through my mind, and knew just what to do. I remembered that restaurant we both went to that one time with Amy. The only problem was Amy, of course. She wouldn't get off of Sonic most of the time. How does Sonic put up with it? It's obvious he doesn't like her, because of that annoyed and pissed off look on his face each time he was with her. If I were with Sonic, I would never do such things to him.
Anyway, back to the restaurant. I suppose it could just be me and Sonic. I'll go tell him.
At Sonic's House…
I knocked on the door, and Sonic answered.
"Hey Tails! What's up?"
Was it just me, or was Sonic even happier to see me?
"Hi Sonic, want to come to that restaurant with me tonight? Just me and you, no Amy."
"Sounds great! Especially the part with no Amy."
Yeah, believe me, Amy is the last thing Sonic would want.
"So does 8:00 sound good?" I asked.
"It sounds perfect."
"Alright! Oh, but wait… What about Amy?"
"What about her?"
"How will we get her away from us?"
Sonic smiled. "Just tell Amy that we are going to the park in a few hours to have some fun. She knows I wouldn't be at the restaurant without her, or so she believes."
Perfect! The plan worked out!
"Okay, I'll see you soon."
I walked off, proud of myself for getting a date with Sonic. He thinks this is just a friendly date? He should think again.
I flew to Sonic's house at 7:55. He was waiting for me by his front door. I landed on my feet and walked with him through the night to the restaurant. In that perfect moment, I wanted to kiss him, kiss him as hard as I could… I wanted him. But I decided to save the kissing for after we eat.
~-~
Sonic and I were sitting at our tables in the restaurant. Not too many people were around. I got Sonic and I a private table.
I ordered a nice set of chicken strips and a salad, while Sonic ordered 10 chili dogs.
"Seriously Sonic, are you going to order chili dogs ALL the time? Try something new, and order a Chili Burger."
"Huh? A Chili Burger? Never tried that before…"
Sonic was cute when he was clueless…
"Yeah, get that."
~-~
Now Sonic and I were walking home. Sonic enjoyed his meal, as I enjoyed mine. This was a great time to kiss him.
"Hey, Sonic?" I started.
"Yeah, Tails?"
"There's one more thing I wanted to do tonight…"
"Sure, anything." Sonic seemed happy to spend time with me.
"This…" I then leaned over to Sonic, having our lips meet softly and our noses touching.
Surprisingly, he kissed me back…
I looked into his emerald eyes and said the four words that came to my mind.
"I love you, Sonic…"
"Tails…" he said. "I.. I don't know what to say…"
"You don't have to say anything…"
"I love you too, Tails…"
-Sonic POV-
I can't believe he was in love with me in the first place. Tails… Once my little bro, now my lover…
I carried my beautiful kitsune lover in my arms on the way home. He snuggled into me just like old times, only this time, he was snuggling into his lover… me.
We looked up into the sky and looked at the stars for a while.
"Aren't they beautiful, Tails?"
"Yeah… I know what you're going to say…"
"Huh? What?" I asked.
"That they're not as beautiful as me?"
"Heh, that's true… You're even more beautiful than Rouge half-naked and drunk."
Tails giggled at that and we kissed yet again for a few minutes before parting for air.
While we continued walking, we saw Amy standing along the path, as if she were waiting for us.
-NORMAL POV-
"Where were you two? You said you would be at the park, but I searched everywhere and didn't find you!"
"Listen Amy, Tails and I have to go, it's very important."
"Oh? And what's so important about it?" She said furiously.
Sonic sighed. "None of your business…" He took off with Tails with amazing speed.
Amy ran after him and Tails with her hammer. Sonic ran past his house and continued running until he was out of Amy's sight. Sonic then ran back to his house, Amy thinking she was still chasing him. Tails and Sonic began laughing hysterically.
"Hahaha! Good one, Sonic!"
They sat there and continued laughing until they went inside the house. There, Sonic and Tails laid down on the couch and started making out again.
"Love ya, little guy…" said Sonic.
"Love you too, Sonic."
