It was a snowy evening in Mobius, two friends sitting on a bench as the cold air stringed their cheeks and ears. These two mobians were Flower the hedgehog and Chris the lynx. Chris took a gulp as his eyes turned to Flower. The lynx had a certain crush on the girl, but his shyness had stopped him from telling her, resulting in embarrassment of sudden bursts of compliments from the cat. However, he knew himself it couldn't be possible. He suspected that his 'friend' Forestarr had already taken her heart. But a lynx can dream, correct? A light blush formed the lynx's cheeks as he looked at the former assassin.
" A-ah, F-flower? " He muttered, his breath visible as a white wisp.
" Yes Chris? " She replied more calmly, her ruby eyes standing out in the almost only white landscape they were in.
His cheeks burned an apple red as he buried his face in his scarf, too shy again to talk to the girl about his feelings.
" Hey, Chris, are you okay? " The hedgehog asked softly, putting a soft hand on the shy cat's shoulder.
" U-uh, sorry for bothering you.. " He muttered, his flustered face still buried in his white and gray scarf.
With deep thought, she came up with a devious plan. Her soft fingers danced behind Chris's fluffy ears, causing an unmanly giggle to erupt from the cat. The lynx just couldn't stop, hysterical laughs just burtsting out of his mouth. Flower began to snicker as she kept tickling the lynx.
" S-stop! " The cat begged, laughing so much tears dripped from his eyes.
" Nope. " She replied with a mischevious smile on her face.
A few minutes later, she decided to stop torturing the lynx with tickles. Chris, now free from the spell of laughter took deep breaths.
" Whoo.. " He panted, his face as purple as a plum. He checked the watch on his wrist, seeing that they were late for Emerald Academy. " RUN! " He yelled, getting off the bench and sprinting as Flower ran behind.
And well, they were too late as they were trampled by their classmates running to school.
Oh well, at least they had a moment to think about...
