DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but the story. All rights go to Sega and all associates.

Here's the other of two stories! Much like Foxhunt, this was also requested a long time ago, and I can't help but feel like it's weird to do this when pretty much all of my one-shots this year have involved Tails in some way. But none of those involved Tails going to war. The closest I've come to that is Cyber Riders, which is a buddy-cop comedy with sci-fi elements, and not what I'm hoping this story turns out to be. Apologies to soul96961 for getting to it so late, but I hope that it was all worth it. Also, this first chapter does contain a lemon, and may be the only chapter to do so, but there's a reason. I'll see you at the other end!

The wheels of a light blue sedan hammered their way through mostly uncluttered traffic. A yellow fox was driving said vehicle, and next to him was a cream and orange rabbit, holding the Fox's hand as he drove. Soon, they'd reached their destination, both sighing.

"So," Cream started, "you leave tomorrow, right?"

Tails nodded. "That I do, darling."

"And you're not out with the rest of your friends getting wasted?" Cream giggled.

"You know that's not my style," Tails smiled.

Tails the fox and Cream the rabbit had been together for a long time, and were close to getting married, despite still being in their early twenties. Still, they knew their love when they first saw each other, and it had only gotten stronger since.

The two were just now pulling in to a fancy wine and dine style restaurant, with Tails having parked the car, dressed to the nines in a fancy tuxedo. Cream also looked incredible, wearing a flowing, sparking yellow dress, combined with small brown boots and a decent amount of makeup.

"Besides," Tails continued, "I'd rather enjoy some lovely time with my beautiful bride to be before I leave tomorrow."

Cream blushed, reaching for Tails' hand, who reached out to take hers. "I still can't believe it... you're going to be in the army. I'll be worried sick about you."

"Don't be," Tails smiled, kissing her cheek. "I'll be back in one piece. I promise."

"I hope so," Cream joked. "I don't want you to lose one of those fluffy tails of yours. I will miss snuggling them at night..."

Tails laughed at that as they entered the restaurant, getting their table sorted thanks to the host. He guided the Mobian couple to their table by the window, and said host then asked what they'd like for appetisers, with both just settling on some small pasta meals.

"And drinks?" the host asked.

"Just some water," Tails said. "I'm actually going to be in the army starting tomorrow."

"Oh!" The host bowed his head. "Then, please, take all of this on the house."

"Are you sure?" Tails asked. "I'm not even there yet. It wouldn't be right."

"Oh, we insist!" the host nodded. "We give this out to brave men and women who fight in the army all the time. Even veterans come here for free meals."

"Well, that's both convenient and pretty kind of you," Tails smiled. "Still, I would like to pay for mine and the lady's meal."

The host nodded, smiling. "I can appreciate your honesty and your chivalry. So, just water? For both of you?"

Cream nodded. "Yes please."

The host bows his head, passing it along to another waiter, who writes the order down before going to the kitchen. As they left, Cream and Tails reached their hands out to each other, both smiling happily.

"You really went all out for me tonight," Cream smiled. "I... I just don't want the night to end on a bad note."

"It won't," said Tails. "Trust me. I will do everything that I can to make your night the best ever."

Cream lifted Tails' hand and kissed it. "It already is."

As she put Tails' hand down from the kiss, the waiter returned with their appetisers, setting the food and drink down before speaking. "Main course?"

"Shepherd's pie and beans for me," said Tails.

"I'll share with him and split it, if that's okay?" Cream asked.

"That's fine," the waiter smiled. "Would you like a big one to split or a normal sized one?"

"Normal sized," Tails replied. "We want room for dessert, after all."

"Very smart thinking," the waiter chuckled, jotting it down. "Speaking of dessert, any preferences? Or do you want to wait until after your main meal?"

"We'll wait until after," Tails answered. "And besides, we have our appetisers first."

"It's fine," the waiter shrugs. "It's a fairly busy night. A lot of soldiers leaving tomorrow to fight in the war."

"Really?" Tails sighed. "Crap... I thought I was the only one..."

"Don't worry about it," the waiter smiles. "You're the only one here to actually still pay. All the others took the freebie."

"I don't know if that makes them smart and selfish, or it just makes me kind and stupid," Tails said.

"Tails, you are certainly anything but stupid," Cream smiled. "If you want to pay, that's fine with me. If not, then that's also fine with me. I love you. That's all that matters."

Tails smiled. "I love you too." He turned to the waiter. "Um... yeah, we're good with paying."

"All right, I'll be back later to check up on you," the waiter smiled, bowing and turning to leave.

Tails and Cream chuckled before the former sighed. "I really thought that I was the only one here." He then reached over and smiled at Cream. "But I'm the only one here with the girl of my dreams."

Cream blushed, and their appetiser soon arrived, leaving them both to dig in. Cream spoke first. "So, what position are you aiming for again?"

"Communications, mostly," said Tails. "It does require some physical training, but since I'm mostly be using my brain, I should be fine."

Cream giggled. "Well, I hope that you don't get into too much trouble just sitting behind a desk."

"I'll try," Tails winked.

They both chuckled at that and started eating their appetisers, getting through them quite quickly. They were soon done, and the waiter came over to check over their main meal order just in case. After getting it jotted down, the waiter left to get the food ready. The cute couple didn't have to wait as long as they thought, and their food was soon brought over.

"Don't you have other tables to do?" asked Tails.

"We do, but since you're the only soldier here paying, we figured that we'd repay you a little bit," the waiter smiled as he set the food down.

"Appreciate it," Tails nodded. "Thank you."

"Anything else before I leave?" the waiter asked.

"Um... a pitcher of water, maybe? That way we don't have to ask you for refills," Tails joked.

"Appreciate it," the waiter mimicked with a smile. "I'll get right on that, then I'll come back with your dessert, which you should order before I leave or it'll just make things awkward."

Cream laughed and looked over at Tails. "Got anything in mind?"

"I was hoping you'd pick," the fox shrugged. "If that's okay."

"Sir, yes, sir," Cream teased. "Hmm... chocolate strawberry gateau, please."

The waiter jotted it down. "Got it. I'll be back to check up on you later." He then left the other two alone, calling out the order as he reached the kitchen.

Tails looked over at Cream and saw her looking out the window. "You okay?" he asked.

Cream blushed a bit. "The stars out in the sky look beautiful. They really bring out the blue in your eyes."

"Usually, it's the male who does that to the female," Tails smiled.

"Does what?" Cream asked.

"Make them feel all happy and fuzzy inside."

"Well, you're already fuzzy outside. Figured I'd finish it off," Cream giggled.

Tails smiled at her giggle. "I've always loved your laugh. It's one of the most adorable things about you."

"Thank you," Cream blushed.

"And you're right," Tails said. "The stars do look amazing. But if I could bring them all down and pin them on you dress, your own beauty would still outshine it."

The rabbit smiled, her heart melting at Tails' romantic words. She leaned over to share a kiss with him, and he kissed back happily. It was a brief embrace, and they both split quickly before sitting back in their seats.

"I will miss you tomorrow," Cream said. "So much."

"Please," Tails said, "don't get too emotional about it. We can save that for when I leave."

"I know, and I know that I've said it all before, but... I worry. I'm going to be worried for such a long time about you."

Tails sighed and reached for her hand. "Just try not to worry right now. Yes, I know that it's scary. I'm scared too." He saw a tear trickle past her cheek, and he used his tails to wipe it, causing her to giggle. "Look, here's what we're going to do. We're going to eat our food, pay, go back home, and have a nice night. Tomorrow morning, I'll leave to join the army, then when I get back, we'll get married. We'll have our own little house, our own little family, and our own little life."

"I like the sound of that," Cream smiled. "Thank you, Tails. I love you."

"I love you too."

The two then went back to their meal as the waiter returned with the pitcher of water, telling them that their dessert was still being made. The couple replied in thanks for the information as they went back to eating their food, conversing but mostly focused on eating.

After a little while, and between drinks of water, they were all finished. Even though it was a normal portion of food, it was still a hefty amount to get through, and Tails sat back and rubbed his stomach, sagging a bit in his seat.

"Man," he started, "and here I am happy that I got fit to be in the army. Now I'm falling victim to tasty food, of all things."

"You poor soul," Cream giggled. "You probably won't even have room for dessert."

"Whoa, let's not get too hasty," Tails interjected, causing them both to laugh. They took another drink of water as the waiter returned.

"Ah, you're all done! Your dessert is ready. Would you like me to bring it now, or would you like some time to recover from the food you just ate?"

Cream and Tails looked at each other, shrugged, and nodded, before Tails spoke. "Now is good."

"Then now it shall be," the waiter bowed. He left and came back quickly with the food. "Here you go! And some custard, on the house!"

"We don't have to pay for it?" Tails asked.

"Nobody does," said the waiter. "It's a freebie, like the water."

"Oh, cool," Tails said. "Does the same go for condiments?"

"Sadly, no, but we're working on it," the waiter smiled. He then looked to see some people sat down and sighed before turning back to Tails and Cream. "All right, is there anything else that I can do for you before I go?"

"Actually, I think we're about done," Tails said. "Well, we've got dessert first. But after that, we're done."

"Fantastic," the waiter bowed. "Thank you for your service."

"And thank you for serving us," Tails chuckled. "You have a fun rest of your night."

"And you as well." The waiter gave one last nod before taking his leave.

Cream giggled. "I like him. He's nice."

"I'd say that it's because he's paid to be nice, but he looks genuinely happy to be working here," Tails agreed, starting to eat his food. He looked and saw Cream's saddened look on her face. "Are you okay?"

"Just... still worrying about everything from earlier," Cream sighed. "I just can't get over it, and with each thing we eat, each precious moment that we spend tonight, it makes me miss you more and more, even though you're still here for now." She sniffled a bit. "I... I shouldn't be worrying right now, but no matter how many times you tell me, it won't stop you from leaving tomorrow, will it?"

"Cream... I would if I could," Tails said. "You know that. Even in a much less battle-focused role, I'm still going to be fighting, and there's a chance that I could get hurt." He reached over to cup her face, wiping her tears with his thumb. "But, as long as you're back here waiting, I'll come back. I have something worth coming back to with you, Cream. And I can only hope that I'm as worth waiting for as you are to come back home to."

Cream blushed and nodded. "You are... I... I can wait forever for you. It may be hard, but I can wait..."

Tails smiled at her. "I know. And I promise I'll try not to make you wait too long."

"You'd better not," Cream giggled.

The two shared their laughter and went back to eating their dessert. They remained silent, focusing on their food, but still exchanging loving glances with each other. Soon, they were all finished, their stomachs full and their faces happy. They left their spoons in their empty bowls of food and stood up as the waiter stopped by.

"Oh, you're finished!" he said.

"Yep," Tails smiled. "Thank you for having us, man. You've been a gracious host."

"And you've been brilliant guests," the waiter chuckled. "Well, I won't be in your way. I'll let you two get home. I just wish you a safe drive and a lovely rest of your evening."

"Thank you," Cream smiled as she looked at Tails.

The two-tailed fox was rooting through his wallet to pay, and got out a little extra to put on the table. "There. A little extra just for being kind," Tails smiled.

"Well, thank you!" The waiter couldn't hide his smile as he took the money. "Well, this has been a fantastic night for me indeed. You are two of my best customers in a while."

"That means a lot," Cream said. "Well... we'll be seeing you."

"Of course," the waiter nodded. "You two enjoy your night. And thank you for eating here."

Cream and Tails both gave one final bow before taking their leave, even passing by some soldiers that they'd missed on the way in, with Tails recognising some as friends who he'd see tomorrow when they all left. He shared some hellos and handshakes with them, but didn't waste too much time, and the others understood.

Soon, Tails and Cream were back in their car, arriving back home over the course of a quiet drive, with some exchanges of how much they enjoyed the food. Tails parked the car out the front of the house, killing the engine before getting out.

"Finally home, milady," he smiled, opening Cream's door for her.

"Oh, I had such a wonderful night..." Cream giggled, leaning against Tails' chest as they shared a hug. "And... it doesn't have to be over yet..."

Tails blushed. "Are... are you sure?"

Cream nodded. "I had a great night, there's no doubt about that. But... I want something that I can truly remember you by..."

Warning! This is the lemon part! If you are under 18/16 depending on the laws of your country, then skip to the end! Otherwise, enjoy!

Tails nodded and smirked, taking Cream's hand as they reached their door. He was quick to unlock the door, and soon, the two were on their way upstairs, losing their shoes and coats as they reached the top of them. Soon, they were in their bedroom, with Tails only in his fancy shirt and slacks as he pulled down the straps of Cream's dress.

"This looks amazing on you..." Tails said, kissing her shoulder gently. "You look so beautiful tonight... you always look beautiful..."

"Tails..." Cream blushed.

The yellow fox pulled more, making sure to take down the bra straps as well. He pulled the dress low enough that he had access to the rabbit's breasts, leaning in to kiss and lick over them. In their time together, Cream had grown to an impressive size, but was still on the smaller scale, which Tails had no complaints about. He kept kissing them, feeling himself grow harder before trailing down Cream's body.

"Oh... god..." Cream moaned.

Tails smiled as he started pulling Cream's dress down, and she had to shake to help him, thankful that she had unzipped already during their escape to the bedroom. It slid off easily, and as it hit the floor, Tails took one of Cream's feet in his hands and kissed it gently, causing her to moan. Tails kissed from the bottom of it to Cream's knee as he started working on his shirt, unbuttoning it slowly as he was so focused on the love of his life. Soon, Tails' chest was bare, and he moved up to kiss Cream deeply.

"Oh, Cream... I love you so much..."

"I love you too... I'm going to miss you so..." She kissed him, pushing her tongue against his mouth. He accepted, and they moaned into their French kissing as Tails ground his clothed crotch against Cream's own covered crotch, one layer of pesky underwear stopping it from being bare.

Tails stopped kissing her and quickly moved to take off her panties, and she shook her hips to help him. It worked, and soon the panties landed on the floor as well, and the fox wasted no time in spreading Cream's legs and diving forwards to lick her pussy lips, inhaling her scent as he started to lick her.

She moaned and wrapped her legs around Tails' neck, crossing her calves as her vagina grew wetter. Tails slipped two fingers into Cream's pussy, turning them as he ate her out. She moaned and shuddered, reaching for the back of Tails' head and pulling him closer in.

"So... c-close..." She shuddered. Tails kept lapping, going for her clit as he fingered her evenly. "F-Fuck!"

"Cum for me... I love you, Cream..." Tails moaned, licking more and sucking on her button.

Cream soon shuddered, coming apart around Tails as her body sagged. She panted as she came down from her orgasm, with Tails tracing kisses on her body, moving up and reaching her lips with his. Cream and Tails panted into their kiss, both moaning still.

"Tails..." Cream moaned. "I need you... inside me..."

Tails kissed her neck and was about to enter her when she giggled and flipped them over so that she was on top. She knelt up, rubbing her pussy against his stiff shaft before sitting up, holding his cock in one hand and sliding down on him.

"Shit..." Tails moaned. "You feel so good..."

Cream giggled and leaned over to kiss him. "So do you... Tails... I..."

"Yes?" Tails asked.

"I want you to cum inside me..."

"But... if I do... you might get-" He was silenced with a deep kiss as she started to grind against him before breaking the kiss. "Pregnant..." he continued.

"I want to..." Cream said. "I want to give you more than just me to come back to... I want to give you a son or daughter..."

"I will..." Tails said. "I love you... I love you so much..."

Cream smiled happily. "I love you too..."

She then leaned down and kissed Tails again, bouncing her hips up and down as she felt Tails enter her, grinding against him as she bounced. Tails held her hips in place, thrusting up with her bounces and causing Cream to moan, throwing her head back.

Tails leaned up, keeping them both in a seated position before moving to attack her neck, moving down to kiss between her tits, sucking her right nipple into his mouth. His hands reached down to grab her hips again as her hands wrapped around his head to keep him close.

Soon, Tails fell back, still holding on to Cream and bringing her down with him. He was quick to turn them over so that he was on top, pounding into Cream as she screamed in orgasmic bliss again and again, wrapping her legs around his waits and her arms around his neck.

"Tails!" Cream moaned. "I'm going to... going to cum!"

"Together!" Tails grunted. "I'm so fucking close!"

"T-Tails! AHH!" Cream felt her pussy contract as she climaxed.

"Cream... shit!"

Tails felt Cream's tight vagina clamp down on him and suck him in as he began spurting his seed into her, staying close and pressing his forehead to hers as he made sure to pump in every last drop. Tails soon pulled out, slumping against Cream and kissing her cheek before rolling off of her, laying next to her.

Lemon is over now. Yay!

Cream panted from the lovemaking before pulling the sheets up and leaning her head against Tails' chest to snuggle. "Mmm... that was incredible..." She smiled lovingly.

"You always are," Tails smiled back. "Cream... I love you so much."

"I love you too," Cream replied. "Is... is everything okay?"

"I... I just hope that I come back the same man as I am right now," Tails replied. "When I come back, I want to do it all. Marriage, kids, everything..."

"We will," Cream said, holding Tails' hand with her left one, which still bore the shiny gold engagement ring with a small blue gem in the centre of it. "I made a promise to marry you, no matter how long it takes."

Tails smiled, kissing Cream softly. "I love you." He looked deep into her eyes. "I love you so much."

"I love you too..." Cream replied. "I'm going to miss you so much."

"Well, it won't be easy for me either," Tails nervously chuckled. "I'll never stop thinking about you."

Cream giggled and kissed his cheek. "I know." She then yawned. "Well... I'm a little bit tired."

"As am I," Tails said, letting out a yawn of his own. "Let's get some sleep, Cream Prower."

"Cream Prower... I like it," the rabbit giggled. "Goodnight, Tails."

"Night, Cream."

The two then snuggled close and went to sleep.

Sorry it took a wee bit longer than I thought, but here's chapter uno of Love And War! I hope that it was to your liking, and I'll see you next time for either the next Foxhunt chapter or for the next instalment of More Toys. Maybe the former. Until then, take care, and stay tuned.
