Dreaming of You

Chapter One-How It Started

One morning she woke up startled, blushing at the embarrassing dream she'd just had about a certain someone.

Rouge the Bat slowly began to stretch, yawning. "*sigh*… that's the fifth time this week!" For the past couple of nights, she had been dreaming of, (who else?), a certain crimson red echidna.

Knuckles.

Knuckles…she thought sleepily. Why has he been on my mind so much recently?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback (to six days ago to be exact…)

Rouge, attempting to sneak past Knuckles to her sparkling green prize behind him, thinks quietly to herself. The Master Emerald…she thought. How long I've waited to capture you and take you home with me!

Before she got to it however, Knuckles her presence.

Batgirl… again? He thought to himself. This should be… interesting, thinking with a smirk on his face.

Rouge had specially trained her ears no not only have super hearing for sounds, but for listening to thoughts and feelings as well.

Hmm… she thought to herself. As long as he already knows that I'm here… let's have some fun!

She popped out of the bush that she was hiding in, and Knuckles, expecting to be attacked, posed into his fighting stance.

To his surprise, she tackled him in a tight, loving embrace.

Not expecting this, he was caught off guard, and ended up being knocked to the ground with her on top of him

Blushing crazily, once realizing the position he was now in, he said in a shocked voice, stuttering,

"B-b-b… BATGIRL??! What are you d-d-DOING??!"

"Aww, Knuckies, I missed you! I can't even get a simple little hug for that?" she said, squeezing him even tighter.
"T-th-THIS is n-NOT a s-SIMPLE LITTLE HUG!!!"

"Well… I figured this was funner," she said with a seductive wink. "Don't you think so too?"

To her surprise, his mind agreed with her.

I have to admit, I am really liking this… a LOT…he thought.

Of course she heard every word of this.

But he didn't know that.

"W-w-Why the HELL would I like THIS!!?" denying her accusation, his cheeks turning as red as his crimson fur.

Before she could come up with an answer, his mind answered his own question for her:

Because her body is just oh-so-hot as it is, so having it on top of me just adds to my pleasure.

It's true. She had a VERY nice body, one hard to ignore by any man. Why should he think any different? With her large breasts and smooth, flat stomach with just a hint of ab muscles, and curves in all the right places, with her black skin-tight jumpsuit on top to boot, she could see why he thought just that about her. She questioned the sincerity of it though.

Hmm… Rouge thought. Does he mean it? Does he really think that? Let's find out!

She smiled sexily down at him, slightly puffing out her already huge chest, moving them closer to his face.* "Because my body is just 'oh-so-hot' as it is, so me being on top of you just makes it all better, am I right?" she said, nearly repeating his exact thoughts.** He gasped, turning as red as a maroon Flicky flying by.

Yup. She thought to herself with a smile. He meant it.

How did she know I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING just now!!?

He pondered to himself, slightly peeved at the fact she could read his thoughts like that. But she wasn't about to give her the pleasure of being right.

"Nope. Wrong. DEAD wrong." He said to her, voice firm. Well, as firm as your voice can be when you're *cough* lying through you're teeth *cough*.

"Sure, whatever you say… Knuckies " winking at him again.

"GET OFF MY ISLAND BATGIRL!! AND STOP CALLING ME KNUCKIES!!!" Knuckles yelled angrily, still blushing madly.

"*sigh*… if that's what you really want…" she said sadly, hoping to make him feel guilty, even folding her ears back for dramatic effect. His comment had stung a little bit though, but she wasn't concerned about it too much at the moment.

"YES, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!!"

However, his mind had disagreed with him.

No…he thought. I don't want you to leave, don't go… Stay here with me like this, even if just for a little while…Rouge blushed upon hearing these thoughts.

"Fine," She told him. "I'll go. But first…" she closed her eyes slightly and started to lean forward into him.

Wait, what is she…

"Wait, what are you…"

He stopped as their lips met, and she kissed him deeply yet softly. His eyes stayed open in wonder as he realized what was happening, what she was doing. Oh. That's what she's doing. He thought as he blushed deeply.

His eyes then slowly started to close, and he wrapped his arms around her middle back, pulling her closer into his body with her still on top of him while deepening the kiss.

Wow, They both thought in unison. This is amazing.

And even better than I had ever imagined it would be. Knuckles' mind added. Rouge blushed at the thought of him imagining them kissing.

She slowly released her hold on the kiss and opened her eyes halfway, looking down at him. She smiled as she realized that he had lifted his head slightly, trying to continue the kiss for as long as it could last.

They stared into eachothers eyes dazedly before Knuckles broke the silence by speaking again.

"Uh… wow." He was at a loss for words. "That was, uh…" Before he could say anymore, she cut in.

"I think I should go now."

"What?" He said, sounding shocked with a hint of sadness in his voice. "Why?"

"Just… because." She said, not wanting him to see her so flustered. "I'll come back soon though, so don't you worry your pretty little red head about it!" She kissed him once more on the forehead as a souvenir for the flight home. Then, much to Knuckles' despair, she got up off of him to leave, and then quickly proceeded to fly off of the majestic floating island. He got up to watch her leave, still mesmerized by her wonderful kiss.

Rouge, He thought. Wow…

End Flashback

She yawned once again, before getting up out of her bed.

Ever since that day, I've been having dreams about him…

Indeed, every night her dreams always lingered over him, and what might've happened if she'd stayed. Sometimes it ended very sweetly, with them all cuddled up together, whispering "I love you" into eachother's ears. Sometimes it ended up very sexual, but still ending up with an "I love you" from each side.

Last night happened to be the second way.

And it got WAY out of hand, even for her.

She made her way to the table to start breakfast, wearing only a white t-shirt with a pink heart on it (much like the one on her favorite jumpsuit, but with sparkles all along the edges of it) and with a blush stain still fresh on her cheeks.

"That was the worst dream yet!" she said to herself.

It was also the best dream so far though too… she thought, blushing an even deeper shade of pink.

As she poured herself a bowl of cereal, she realized that she hadn't been to the island ever since that night.

Hm… I think maybe after breakfast today I just might go visit my favorite echidna…

End Chapter One

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*KnuxRougeluva: Don't let Knuckles know I told you this but… he took a slight peek at them as she did this.

Knuckles: Hey! I heard that!! *gets angry and red-faced*

KnuxRougeluva: Oops… anyways, carry on with the story!! *runs away from Knuckles, terrified*

**KnuxRougeluva: Oh yea. The reason she didn't repeat them exactly was because if she did, then Knuckles would have suspected something. But I fixed it. Is all good now =3

Rouge: Great. Way to be so bluntly obvious. Sometimes I wonder if you're completely mentally sane or not.

KnuxRougeluva: Hm… probably not. But that's okay. =3
