Authors note: TailsxMina is my favourite Tails couple and is a rare pairing and not many people has written about them. Now for those of you who don't read the comics, in a possible/alternative universe Tails and Mina got together, got married and had kids, although no one knows how they got together and how Mina and Ash broke up. Well here is my take on how that may have happened.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog. Tails, Mina and Ash belong to their respectful owners.
A beautiful red sky hangs over the city of New Mobotropolis indicating the near end of the day and start of a new one. For over five years now the city of New Mobotropolis has lived in peace since the end of the evil and devastating rule of Dr Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, five years since Sonic the Hedgehog and the rest of the Freedom Fighters brought down the wicked doctor and his lackey Snively once and for all. Although there are some people still out there willing to cause trouble and chaos, such as the Dark Legion and The Destructix, but none of them have succeeded due to the Freedom Fighters efforts.
So, all in all life has been pretty quiet for the Freedom Fighters, and all of this peace has been able to allow most of them to settle down with loved ones, friends and families and even got jobs as well as many other citizens in the city.
As the sun still lingers in the sky, spreading it's warm glow across the city, it casts it's shine over a house that belongs to none other than the two tailed vulpine, Miles Prower or more commonly known to his friends Tails.
Now at the age of 19, Tails has grown the most out of the small group of children that were once the Freedom Fighters. He's now as tall as Sonic, his childish bangs have grown longer so that one of them droops over his left eye and thanks to years of fighting tyrants of different shapes and sizes, he's developed quite a bit of muscle along his arms and legs as well as getting abs and pecs, although due to his growing fur, it has covered most of them up.
His house is small and comfortable. As you go through the front door you're immediately greeted by the living room, which is also connected to the kitchen at the back of the house and a flight of stairs. The living room just has a three person couch, a coffee table directly in front of it and a television on a glass cabinet which holds all Tails' favourite games, movies and his laptop. The upstairs just has Tails' bedroom and the bathroom.
Right now at this time Tails is just having a quiet dinner of pasta and meatballs on his own. Now usually he spends his night with Sonic where they just watch TV, play games, talk or just generally hang out. But tonight, that weren't the case as Sonic was spending the night round Princess Sally's.
While Tails is eating his dinner, he just looks over the blueprints for his Tornado and thinking of ways to improve it. As Tails was about to take another bite of his dinner, a knock at the door interrupts him. Figuring it was Sonic coming to get something he probably left round his he got up to answer the door.
Who Tails saw at the door as he opened it was certainly not the blue blur. It was a puffy, red eyed, upset Mina.
"Hey Tails." Mina said in a scratchy voice. "Is Sonic here?"
"Um.. No he's not sorry Mina" Replied a genuinely concerned Tails. Although looking into her eyes Tails could see that this surely wasn't Mina's day.
"Mina what's wrong?" Tails asked feeling sorry for her. Mina just replied by looking down and shaking her head as to say no but started crying. What happened next startled Tails as she threw herself at him and enveloped him in a hug while crying hysterically onto his shoulder.
Tails brought her a bit more into the house and closed the door as he wrapped his arms around her, with one arm down on her lower back and the other hand stroking her long purple hair and back gently trying to just calm her down.
"Hey, hey, hey. It's alright. It's okay." Tails hushed even though he had no idea what had happened to the normally energetic mongoose.
After several minutes of crying, Mina finally calmed down from hysterics to little sobs. Even though she was still crying at least she had calmed down. "Mina what's wrong?" asked Tails for the second time as he gently led her to the couch for her to sit down on and he hoped that his question wouldn't cause her to cry anymore.
"It's just…sniff… I can't believe…sniff… he would do that that." Mina said in between short gasps of breath. Tails now had a feeling what had happened but still wanted to know for sure. "Who, Ash?" Tails asked trying to get to the bottom of why the songoose was crying in his home. Mina in response could only nod.
"What did he do?" Tails asked probably not about to like what he was about to hear. "He cheated on me with the stage manager from the last show." Mina said as a few more tears travelled down her face.
Tails was at lost for words, sure Ash was a bit of a jerk and not his favourite person in the world, but he always thought that Ash was loyal to Mina and never betray her. Obviously Tails couldn't have been more wrong.
As he held her close again in a warm and comforting hug, Tails' heart cried for Mina. She definitely did not deserve this. She was such a kind and caring person. Always doing her bit for the planet, always making sure everyone was okay and always looked out for her friends and family.
Tails wasn't sure whether or not to try and say something to Mina. He wanted her to know that he would be there for her as well as the rest of the Freedom Fighters, but he just didn't know what to say.
Tails had never been in this situation before. He had never had to comfort anyone after finding out that the person you love had just betrayed you and he had never really been betrayed like this before. The closest Tails has come to someone betraying him was Fiona and they weren't even going out.
After a long silence Tails decided to break the ice. "He doesn't deserve you, Mina". This broke Mina out of her tearful state as she broke the hug to look at Tails.
As she looked straight into his sky blue eyes, she saw that he was trying his best to be comforting. Mina could only reply by saying "Huh?", as she wiped a few tears.
"Ash. He doesn't deserve you. Any man who would be stupid enough to cheat on you is an idiot." Tails said sternly. "Don't blame yourself Mina. You're a beautiful, kind and loving person. Any guy to have you is going to be the luckiest guy on all of Mobius".
At this point both were blushing like mad. Mina couldn't help but smile. "There you go Mina, there's that great smile that you wear so well." Tails said earning another blush from Mina. "Thanks Tails. You're so sweet for saying that. And any girl who could have you as their boyfriend would be lucky." Tails smiled at this, seeing Mina smile would just brighten up any room no matter what situation they are in.
After another quick silence Mina asked "Why can't all guys be like you Tails?" "If all guys were like me then the Mobian race would be extinct" Tails joked making Mina laugh. It was no secret that Tails had trouble with getting girls. Mostly because of what happened with Fiona and also that some of the girls in the past just went out with Tails just to get closer to Sonic. Only a few girlfriends were genuine, but to Tails they just didn't feel or seem right.
Sensing another silence was coming up, Tails decided to stop it from happening by saying "Hey, why don't you go up, wash those tears from your face, I'll get you a plate of food, then you can chose a film from my collection, any one you want and just have a nice quiet night in".
"Yeah. That sounds like fun. Thanks Tails" Mina said as she leaned in and kissed Tails on the cheek and went upstairs. After she left, Tails brought a hand up to his cheek and smiled. As Tails stood up to get another plate of food for himself and Mina, knowing that the food he was eating was now no doubt cold, the door knocked again. Curiously Tails answered the door wondering who it could be.
It was Ash. Tails had to fight every ounce of fibre in his being not to beat the living daylights out of him. "Hey Ash. What are you doing here?" Tails questioned. "Have you seen Mina?" Ash demanded rather than asking. Tails really wanted to grab him by the shirt and shout in his face and ask why did he cheat on Mina. "Er… no. Haven't seen her since the concert last week." Tails lied. No doubt, he didn't want Ash to know that Mina was there, cause if he knew, then it would definitely cause trouble. "Fine. Whatever." Ash grumbled and stormed off.
Tails closed the door and turned around as he saw Mina standing at the top of the stairs. "Thanks Tails. I really didn't want to deal with him right now" Mina said as she walked back towards the bathroom. "It's okay Mina. I understand" Tails nodded hoping for no more interruptions.
The two then enjoyed the dinner and the film that Mina chose and just enjoyed each others company. After the film had ended, Tails and Mina just stayed up talking until late in the night. This was confirmed as Mina yawned. "Tired?" Tails asked which was answered with a nod by the songoose. "Well, I take it you don't want to go home because Ash is there? And it's too late to go anywhere else, so why don't you just sleep here?" Tails suggested. Mina was a bit shocked at the hospitality shown to her. "You sure? I don't want to be any trouble." Mina stated. Tails just waved it off. "Mina, if you were any trouble I would have started pulling my hair out." Mina laughed at this. "C'mon you can sleep in my bed." Tails said standing up and offering his hand to Mina. Taking his hand Mina asked "Were are you going to sleep?" " I'll just sleep on the couch" Tails said with the solution. "Oh.. okay" Mina said feeling a bit bad depriving Tails of his bed, but she knew Tails would not change his mind.
"C'mon, I'll just get one of my reading books and you can go to sleep." Tails smiled at Mina. They went up the stairs in silence and got to Tails', room were there was a single bed and a chest of drawers. As Mina sat down on the bed she watched Tails turn the lamp on and take his top off. Mina blushed furiously and looked away. Tails just laughed. "It's alright Mina, I don't care if you see me without a top on. It's the bottom half were I would worry." Tails joked again. Mina chuckled and looked at Tails and saw that he was pretty ripped. "Wow…" Mina thought "…he's got a better body than Ash". Mina just shook her head wondering were that came from. Tails just chuckled at her predicament. "Well, I'll see ya in the morning." Tails said bidding his goodnight and making his way to the door.
"Tails wait." Mina said stopping Tails from leaving. "What? What's wrong?" Mina was wondering why on earth she just said that and couldn't believe what she was just about to ask Tails. "I I I was just won-wondering if you c-could sleep with m-m-me tonight?" Mina stuttered as now she just made a complete fool out of herself. "W-What?" now it was Tails' turn to stutter not believing what he just heard. "Sorry I shouldn't of said anything" Mina said feeling like she just ended her friendship with Tails as a new fresh batch of tears almost came out. "No it's alright. Yeah sure I'll sleep with you. You've had a hard day." Tails said figuring out what the sudden request might've been about.
Tails, feeling a bit nervous climbed into the bed and waited for the mongoose to get in. When he noticed she wasn't moving he asked "What's wrong?" "God, that must be the hundredth time he's asked me that today" Mina joked in her head "Um… could I borrow some of your clothes to wear? It's just I've been in these clothes all day and I have to wear them tomorrow is well since I'm not home." "Yeah sure, there should be a few old clothes in the wardrobe." Tails said pointing to the wardrobe. "Okay, thanks." Mina said, then made her way to the wardrobe and picked out a t-shirt and stripped to her panties. Now it was Tails' turn to blush and loo away. Mina laughed "I don't mind Tails" Tails nodded after hearing this but still refused to look at her.
Mina then crawled on the bed and towards the top to the pillows and got in under the quilt. "Thanks for today Tails." Mina smiled and looked at him. "It's alri…" before Tails could finish his sentence he was cut off as Mina pushed her lips against his. Tails wanted to break the kiss, but couldn't. He was… enjoying it. He like the feeling of Mina kissing him. It only got more intense as Mina climbed on top of him not breaking the kiss.
Just as soon as it started, Mina stopped as she realized what she was doing. She then sat up, mouth open and with hands covering her mouth started muttering "I'm sorry" over and over again.
Mina was wondering why she did that. She suddenly felt different around Tails. Her knees and arms were shaking due to the sudden shot of adrenaline going through her body. Then she thought about it more and more. Did she like Tails? She never really felt this way about him before. But yet again they never really had spent much time together alone before. Mina was still questioning whether it was because of the break up with Ash, or did she genuinely feel this way about Tails?
Tails was there with a million questions running through his head but that kiss was just heaven. He wanted that warm feeling back, he wanted it to continue. Then all of his thoughts stopped as he saw Mina's face. His stomach did back flips. It was only then that he realized he fancied Mina.
As it looked like Mina was about to run away, Tails grabbed her hand and dragged her back down and kissed her with same kind of lust as she did with him a few moments ago. After a few good minutes Tails stopped. "I love you Mina". Mina just stared back at him and said "I love you too… Miles" Tails smiled and turned off the lamp and sharing a night full of passion and love with his new love.
