This is about Sonamy, and I made it because I was looking for a good fanfic about them a while ago. Not to say that people are bad at writing fanfic.
I just wanted to give it a go since I thought I could contribute to the awesome list.

And so we begin.

Chapter 1: The Broken Tech

Sonic the hedgehog is a fast type of guy. All about being on the move, and caring about his friends. Sometimes though, he can get a little too careless.

He was on his run back to his shack near the beach. He had taken his out door dash and was in the mood for something to drink. He ran in, swiped for a cup, and got some water from the sink.

He always made sure he got a little tired so that his blood pumped. Being still was one of his difficulties.

He took a drink and let a refreshed breath go out.

"Ahh, that's nice"

He drank the rest, and began refilling the cup.

"Wonder what Tails is doing. Might as well look" he said once the cup was filled.

He ran towards his friend's shop and stopped inside to see that Tails wasn't around. "Probably busy or something"

He looked towards the things he had on a table, and didn't care much for what he saw. Most of the tech was too complicated for him.

He did see some things that looked somewhat cool, so he set the cup down and picked up a couple of the gadgets and tampered with them.

The blue blur always admired how smart his pal was, but never understood why his most proudest creations, mostly looked weird and complicated.

"If he would just maybe put this sharp thingy here, it might look like a-"

When Sonic put the two items together, it caused a small explosion and they caught on fire.

He yelped and threw them on the floor. The sharp object was in there so he didn't want to stomp it out. He grabbed his water and poured it over the fire.

A sizzling sound and smoke came, but the fire was out.

"Great. Now I broke something"

"What! Why?"

Tails was at the door, and wasn't there for long. He jogged over to the mess and crouched to see the pile.

"Oh... I was almost done with them. At least they're still in tact. But they're burned and wet. At the same time ironically" said Tails

Sonic frowned a bit. Had he just waited a little, he would've known what Tails was working on.

He could remember plenty of times where he broke something accidentally, and now it dawned to him that Tails would always just fix the thing on his own. He was a guy of impulse as well.

So he went with it.

"Don't worry Tails. I'll fix it" he said as he picked up the pile.

"It's fine Sonic. I'll be able to make new ones later" Tails said with a smirk

"No no, I'll take care of it. You just do other cool stuff while I figure this out"

He said before dashing out. Leaving a Tails sighing over the issue.

Sonic made his way to the jungle. Once he found a large rock that could be used as a surface, he jumped onto it and began cleaning up the tech.

Once the two items were separated and cleaned, he just stared at them.

"Oh yeah. I don't even know what these do. How am I supposed to fix something if I don't know what it is?"

He looked at one, which looked like a hand sized battery. But it didn't have the dots or things at the end, and had a hole on the side.

The other was a thin metal tube that had a sharp end.

"Hm... I'm going to need more heads to brainstorm" he said as he picked up the items. He frowned at the items for a moment, but then nodded to himself before dashing away.

(...)

"Is that a knife? Do you know how dangerous it is to carry stuff like that?"

Sonic sighed. He lowered the gadgets down and looked at them.

"No Knuckles, this isn't a knife"

He lifted the sharp one up next to his head and waved it a little.

"This stuff is Tail's, and I'm trying to fix them. Does one of them look like anything to you other than a knife?"

Knuckles looked them over and scratched his head. "If you put the sharp one inside the hole to the other, would it look kind of like a-"

"No. I tried and that's how they exploded"

"Then I'm out of ideas" said Knuckles

Sonic nodded and dashed away to the next person he thought could help.

(...)

"And you sure that one of'em isn a bomb?"

Sonic slightly smiled nervously because truthfully, one of them might actually be an explosive. Luckily, they were nonfunctional.

"I can promise you that they won't blow up Sticks"

"How can you be so sure?"

"Trust me. They're broken right now" said Sonic

Sticks held one of them in her hands and flipped it around a bit. She then took the other and looked over the sharp end.

"Hm... These two things are kinda different from each otha. One looks harmless and the other looks lethal...

I can't tell honestly"

Sonic held his hands out and Sticks gave them back. "Thanks anyways, that might help"

He took the items and dashed out the door. Sticks leaned to the side and crossed her arms.

"But if ya stuck one of them in the otha... Then... Hmm..."

(...)

Sonic spent a long while, trying to find something that would give him a lead to fix the gadgets. To his dismay, nobody could figure out what exactly the things could do. They mostly gave him shrugs or thoughts.

Sonic had checked up on the whole town, and was left with the one person that he hadn't asked yet. He avoided her on this occasion because... Well...

He knew what her reaction would initially be when he asked for help.

"Why would you break a couple of his things? Can't you be a little more thoughtful for other people's possessions?" Amy asked

Sonic stood at her door, nervous yet smiling at her.

"I know I know. But can you help me out cuz you're the last person I can ask"

She had known him for a long time, and knew when he was trying to do. Something that he wasn't good at. Tech was something nearly completely foreign to him.

Amy sighed "Sure. Put it on the table, I'll go get something ready" she said as she let him in.

Sonic sat on one of the couches as he stared intently at the gadgets. Amy came around with a stack of chilli dogs and some lemonade. She was able to notice Sonic's behavior.

She set down the tray and made her way to the other couch across. Once she sat, Amy was surprised to see that he didn't notice the scent from the food next to him.

He was much too focused on the task at hand, and so she looked over the two items.

After a moment, Amy spoke up.

"If... You put the sharp one inside the hole to the block one, wouldn't it look like a-"

"Yeah. Me, Knuckles, and Sticks-"

"Knuckles, Sticks, and I, Sonic"

Sonic smiled as he rephrased his sentence.

"Knuckles, Sticks, and I, Sonic, thought that aswell. But that's how they broke"

She leaned back into the couch and crossed her arms as she thought.

"Hm..." she hummed as she stared at them

Sonic was on the edge of the couch, trying to look over every detail to find a hint of what was the purpose in these things.

Amy couldn't think of anything that could be what the tech was, and reached over the table to grab a chilli dog. Sonic noticed her movement and actually saw the plate of food. She saw him reach for one, but his hand stopped midway. She looked directly at his face and saw a smidge of regret. She nearly asked him what was wrong, but the blue hedgehog quickly grabbed a glass, and drank some of the lemonade.

She decided to leave that for later. But now she was supposed to be helping with this problem.

"Why don't you go for a run Sonic?"

He looked up to her with a confused face. "How would that help?"

"You need to take a breather so that your mind can get more ideas. Right now your not thinking outside the box"

Sonic crossed his fingers and placed his chin on his two thumbs.

"Thanks Amy. But I got to figure this out before I do anything else"

He continued to study the items and Amy knew that he was probably filled with something, maybe guilt.

Whatever it was, it was getting to him.

He needed to get this off his mind for a while or else he'll stress over something so simple.

He could easily just go to Tails, but he took it upon himself to solve this problem.

"Sonic"

He looked up to her, his eyes focused.

Silence followed. And Amy could feel his determination.

"Are you sure you need to do it this way?" she asked

Sonic looked down, thinking about his actions for a moment. He didn't look her in the eye, but he nodded before staring back at the gadgets.

She didn't sigh or get irritated. She simply made her way over to his side, and laid back into the couch.

Sonic didn't mind, and Amy looked over to the window. It was getting dark, and he was still on this. Had it been a different occasion, she might actually be content with how things were.

She took a breath and looked up to the ceiling, her tone very plain.

"Ok"

(...)

It was night. Amy was concerned of course. It seemed like her house was Sonic's base of operations until he was able to figure out what those things did.

She felt the need to go tell Tails about this, but at the same time didn't want to go against Sonic's will. Not that he had that much power over her, but there was something that was on his mind now other than fixing some tech.

And she was going to try and help.

She stood outside, contemplating how she should approach him about this. If things got out of hand, well...

She didn't know quite what to expect from a guy who was rarely like this.

She walked past the door and into her home to see Sonic lying on the couch completely, with the block looking one in his hands. He tossed it up and inspected it every time it came down, trying to catch a detail that was new.

"Sonic. Can we talk?"

Sonic paused with the block in his hand. He looked at it for a moment longer.

"Sure, I don't mind" he said with a slightly positive tone.

He sat up and made space for her on the large couch. She took the seat offered to her and looked down at her shoes. He stared down aswell.

The light shined on both of them. In the room it was dead silent with neither of them doing anything. This was new.

"Have you made any progress?"

"Not really. This is really complicated"

"Did you toss the sharp one around to"

"No. I just looked at it"

"You didn't eat any of the chilli dogs"

"I'm busy fixing this stuff. Can't have crumbs on them"

"You haven't gone for a run in a while"

"I can run later. I got my hands full"

"How long are you going to try and fix them?"

"Until they are fixed"

"..."

"You need to stop" she said

Sonic expected that of her. She was always like that. Always being considerate of her friends. He had prepared himself.

He leaned back against the couch and placed his hands behind his head. He smirked and spoke.

"Don't worry Amy. I'm sure if I keep at it-"

"Sonic don't try and play this off" Amy cut in, putting her hand on the couch and leaning toward him.

It was quiet. Both of them were steeling themselves. Not wanting to give up on what they saw was right.

Sonic's trademark smirk slowly faded. His arms were still raised, but his eyes began to show even more signs of over exertion, and he smiled slightly.

"Yeah. What was I thinking...? Nothing gets past someone as great as you"

"Flattery won't get you anywhere either. Even if you can use it genuinely"

"Oh come on Amy. I'm just trying to do this nice thing. Can't you stop being so tense?"

Amy frowned and looked over Sonic.

"We both know that you're the one more tense here"

"Really now? I feel perfectly fine"

"Sonic-"

"You know what?" he stood up and picked up the tech from the table.

"Sonic please listen"

He looked over to her, holding the things in his hands. His face was mostly plain.

"What is this really about? What are you trying to do?"

Sonic's eyes flickered, and she knew she had something. He looked to the tech once more.

"You're so good at figuring out new stuff. But it looks like you were able to figure me out before the tech... Just my luck"

Amy looked over his standing posture. It didn't show much, but he was tired physically aswell.

"I... You're right. This has gotten bigger than just fixing stuff" he said

Amy watched as Sonic put down the tech, but he didn't take off his hands off them.

"I mean... Fixing these things... Is what I'm going to do still. But my... Reasoning... is different..."

After he said that, he plumped down and leaned on the couch. He looked to his lap, his hands folded.

"Why then"

He looked to her, not knowing how he could explain it. He felt too tired, and it was bigger than what could be put in a few words.

He looked back at his hands, observing how they intertwined with each other.

He closed his eyes, and took a loud breath. Then he loudly let it out. And then opened his eyes once more.

"You know how me and Tails have always been so close. And you know how much we care for each other..."

He took his hands apart and laid them on either side of himself. He looked up to the ceiling. Or at least, he would have. His left hand happened to tap Amy's right one that was still there.

Amy immediately withdrew, and looked to Sonic.

"Sorry" said Amy lightly. She didn't want him to think that she was making a move on him, or to have him stop talking about this.

Sonic smirked slightly, and this time let his hands rest and looked to the ceiling.

"Am I really that pooped out that YOU had better reaction time than me?"

Amy was shocked for a second, but smiled and leaned to the couch. Letting her sights to stare at the ceiling as well.

"Don't worry, 'Fastest Thing Alive.' I won't take your precious little title"

"Thanks. I need that. It's kind of my thing"

She closed her eyes and felt the silence. It was much better than it was a few moments ago. He looked over to her for a moment. She was grown up.

He never though that she would be someone that he would share this type of business with.

She had grown up. And showed her maturity better than the rest of them.

He smirked and looked back up with her.

More silence followed. But Amy wasn't done with him yet.

"So..." she said

"So..." he said

"...you two... Are like brothers. So why"

"Because... I..." he let out a slightly rough breath of irritation as he scratched his head.

"I... Want to help... Because..."

"I... Feel this need to pitch in... Because..."

He placed his hand back down, and this time it was the one away from her.

"I thought that I should do this... Because..."

"I started this with a split second decision... But now I'm going to fix his stuff... Because... Because..."

He scrunched his eyes closed and lifted his chin up. His mouth open slightly and his mind tried to convey what was going inside.

"I... Because..."

"BECAUSE WHAT?" Amy stressed loudly

"BECAUSE HE'S MY BROTHER"

Sonic opened his eyes, widened and surprised at his reason.

"Because... He's my brother..."

He said, looking down, huffing. It seemed like he had been running his absolute hardest, and was out of energy.

Amy was surprised. It seemed so complicated to him. But...

"THAT'S YOUR REASON?!" Amy exclaimed

Sonic grinned while looking ahead. "Yeah. That's it"

She groaned while arching her back. "Can you at least go into more depth?"

He smiled at her form, and leaned more into the couch as she repositioned herself.

He looked to the window and saw how dark it was. He should be home. He might have been sleeping had he not went through this.

He might as well give her an explanation.

"Tails isn't just a friend. We may treat ourselves like 'brothers' brothers, but I feel like we are really the same blood.
He's always there, covering my back. He's my brother. And... I noticed something about us"

He was still staring out the window; Amy saw only the back of his head. But his voice sounded as normal as ever.

"I'm always breaking something. And he's always making something, or fixing what I broke. I knew if I was the brains, I would never mind if my bro kept trashing my things. I know that we got each other, no matter the problem"

"So why put yourself through the trouble of this?" Amy asked softly

He stood up. He began walking to the window, and crossed his arms while facing it. Amy scooted to the edge of the couch and watched him.

"The breaking thing has happened for years now. I knew that I wasn't going to figure this out from the start"

"What?"

"I made a decision though when I saw that this wasn't going to work. I wouldn't ask him to fix them, no matter what. I was going to do this, even if it was impossible. Because..."

Amy realized what went in his mind when he was trying to figure out what his reason was.

He was aware of his limits. He knew that this was not going to happen. But he ignored the facts that were in his way. Not because he was stubborn, or trying to be of help in somewhere he would be of little use.

He put time and effort into finding out what those things did because...

Amy saw the reflection of Sonic on the window. He was smiling a great smile. One that was real, that was his. She stood up and walked over to him silently. He was still arm crossed, and staring into the night sky.

When she stood nearly next to him, she stopped. And saw his eyes giving off a hint of tears.

"We're brothers. And that's the sort of thing brothers do for each other" he blinked away the dampness and looked over to her.

She leaned to the side with a hand on her hip. Trying to not break at how sincere he was being.

"Idiot" she chuckled while smiling

(...)

AN. I was going to make this about only Sonic and Amy, but I figured some things out as I wrote this.

Firstly, I noticed that Sonic's personality wouldn't just suddenly have a change of heart and want to have a romantic relationship with Amy. That's how I see him and his mindset, sorry if you think differently.

Same could be said about Amy. Not to say that she's not interested, but she's pretty much fine being a good friend. I'm aiming for both of them giving the more 'Loving' relationship a good chance.

And secondly, I had unintentionally included Tails into the mix. I couldn't bring myself to jump over Tails and right into the Sonamy bit. I saw this as a chance to bring the hedgehogs together while still focusing on the important relationship that Tails and Sonic have.

So there you have it. I've been pretty busy, but I'll try and make sure this fanfic keeps afloat. Later!
