It was quiet in the house except for the tv on in the living room. A half eaten bowl of popcorn sat on the coffee table next to some takeout and an empty bottle of brandy. All about the house clothes were scattered on floors and trailed to the bedroom. In the mess of pillows and sheets stirred a white bat. As she woke up she stretched and laid comfortably in bed until she felt cold air near her lower region. She shot up and looked to her side to confirm her suspicions.
Oh. Shit. Those were the only words she could think of when she looked over. Next to her in bed was Knuckles the echidna. Looking down she noted that they were both naked and smelled of alcohol. No no no no no... NO! Sure they have cuddled and got drunk together before and maybe even kissed at one point or another, but never did they dare have sex. This was one line neither of them had ever dared to cross and yet, they did.
Knuckles tossed and turned, still asleep. He rolled over her bra and after that didn't move. It was like he was trying to make it harder for her to leave even though he still had yet to find out about the situation they got themselves into.
After a few nervous moments of trying not to wake him and avoid the awkwardness she silently crept out of his bed and began the search for the rest of her clothes. As she made her way to the living room where they were supposed to be having their usual Friday movie night she cursed the empty bottle of brandy. She never should have had that stupid bottle. A mere few hours had passed after she just got out of a relationship with Espio. To top it off she had half a bottle of wine on her way there so she could be in somewhat of a cheerful mood. Damnit. I can't believe I was that stupid! "Shit. I gotta get outta here before he wakes up." Quickly dressing she looked back feeling guilty, but shook it off and flew out the door.
By the time Knuckles woke up Rouge had already left. At first he thought nothing of it until he found her bra under his side of the blanket when he was cleaning things up. His phone started vibrating on his nightstand, distracting him from the reality of what happened. When he opened it up he found at least fifteen messages from a very flustered Rouge apologizing profusely for leaving. Knuckles had no idea what to do. After reading her messages it finally hit him.
Their relationship as friends will never be the same.
Hey guys it's been a while! So I'm doing a sort of -REBOOT- for this story. I never finished it and I didn't like the turn it took. I left off in an awful place so I'm going back, fixing it up, adding details, changing things and overall, I hope, making it better. Let me know what you guys think. Do you like it this way? The other way? About the same? And would you like me to keep going? I mean I probably will as I feel I owe it to myself and the story to finish what I've started anyways... but still. Your opinions do matter to me as if you don't like it I will just take it down and keep it in a file for myself. Plus I do like and appreciate some KIND constructive criticism.
