"Ha ha ha ha! You can't catch me!"
"Better not put a gift horse in the mouth!"
Two young children, both six years of age were playing down the coast. The silver hedgehog ran in a teasing pace as the purple cat aimed to catch him. When they reached the stream, the young kitten pounced on top of the hedgehog and pinned him down.
"Got you now, Silver," the cat smirked.
The hedgehog chuckled, "Okay, okay, you won, Blaze."
Blaze did not get off him, instead she lowered herself down nuzzled her head against his, purring cutely as she did. She loved be so close to him; he always made her feel so safe.
"Wow, that stream is really pretty," Blaze said as she looked at the stream.
"Yeah, it sure is," Silver agreed with small blush.
"Hey, Silver?" Blaze asked out of the blue, "I wanna known something."
"What's that Blaze?"
"I saw my mommy and daddy kissing lots of times… do you know what it's like?"
"You're asking the wrong guy. I've really have been… kissed. Other than any of my relatives though."
"Well, I haven't nether," she giggled cutely as she blushed, "But I think it'd be nice to feel what its like."
"Yeah… I wonder what it feels like…"
Just then, Blaze got off of Sliver to face him, a soft smile on her face, "Wanna find out?"
The younger hedgehog jumped back, utterly caught off guard, "H-huh!?"
"You wanna find out?"
"Y-you mean m-m-me kiss you?!" he stammered.
He smiled vanished and her head hung slowly, "Is there something wrong?"
"N-n-n-no!" he continued to stammer like Porky Pig, "It's just that grown ups would always kiss 'cause they're in… you know, love."
Her smile returned as she looked at him with shining golden eyes, "Well, I love you, Silver, 'cause you're my best friend. Do you love me that way to?"
Silver's cheeks grew hotter, he was at a total lose of words, "Y-y-yeah I do…"
"So it's okay for best friends to kiss, right?" she said as she inched closer to him.
"I guess… but how are we supposed to kiss?"
"Umm…" she thought for a little bit, and then snapped her fingers, a spark lighted as she did, "I know! I saw this on TV once," she said as she pushed her friend to the ground. Her hands were on either side of his head.
"You still think it's a good idea?"
"Just think of it as a game."
"A game…?"
"Uh huh. Now just relax…"
Blaze closed her eye and slowly lowered her head to his and pressed her lips against his. Sliver's cheeks grew hotter, but he didn't hold back. He never knew that kissing felt so right and neither did Blaze, but they both enjoyed it. Both of them pulled back and gazed at each other in wonder.
"Wow…" Blaze whispered.
"Yeah…" Silver said softly.
"I think I kinda like kiss you, Silver."
"My too, Blaze."
Blaze sunugled herself on to Silver and played with his fluffy patch as he played with her ears.
"Hmm… Silver?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm glad you're my very best friend."
"I'm glad to, Blaze."
