He winced when I removed the cloth, a huge gash was found on his right leg. I bit my lip, it should be attached. Just one problem; I couldn't make it painless… It's not like I have a anaesthetic syringe with me every day. Okay I have the stuff to attach it, but I only used it for small cuts. I didn't know if he could stand it.

'Ames…' He winced again. Sonic got caught in a whirlpool during one of our fights with Eggman, being him he sunk as a rock and scraped his leg on the seafloor. I got him back, but the tornado was nowhere. So I swam him to the nearest island… 'Just do it…' He said weakly. I swallowed and got the wire and needle ready.

'O-okay, there it goes.' He clenched his fist and closed his eyes. I had to stop my hand from shaking though, I couldn't afford to miss. I started at the first one and his face twisted in a expression of pain immediately. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I blinked them away quickly. They were not what I needed right now. I tried my best to focus, but my concentration dozed away to his expressions. I snapped back and continued. By now I could hear Sonic gasp and grunt softly, he tried to stay calm, but it didn't seem like he could take a lot more… 'Just a few more Sonikku… hang on.' He shook his head.

'N-no please no mo-re.' He was literally begging me between gasps of air. He stead still though, I knew it would hurt him more to get all of it out then to finish the attachments.

'Please Sonic, I can't'. Only two or three more.'

'P-promise… me.' His voice shook desperate. The look in his eyes made me sad, I never had seen him so… I don't even know what the word for it is.

'I promise…' I smiled careful waiting for a reaction. Instead he closed his eyes, preparing for the next few. My ears dropped, why I always have to do this? This is one of those moments I hate it when he's a hero…

On the last one I heard a soft sob coming, from him. I wanted to look up, but I couldn't do that knowing my reaction on his face. I felt relieved when I made the knot on the end. 'There you g-' I stopped by the look on his face. It was drenched in tears... 'Sonikku… You okay a bit?' He didn't respond to me, he didn't dare to. I wiped most of his tears, causing him to open his eyes a bit. 'Now you feel better?'

'Y-yea, th-anks.' He quickly rubbed his eyes. I sighted.

'W-why always act so tho-ugh?' Slowly the tears returned again.

'We can't both be as sensitive as you are… I-One of us had to be the comforting one…' I now could feel the tears running, he's so sweet…

A pink glow appeared on his muzzle as I nuzzled in the side of his chest. 'I love you Sonic.' I whispered.
