A/N: Okay, ideas for my stories have been lacking as of lately. So, to keep my brain from completely melting I went ahead and wrote a series of Oneshots about my favorite Sonic X couples. This one's Sonamy.


Running

It's the only thing I thought I'd ever need; the one thing I thought I couldn't live without. If I stopped running, I still think I'd die; it's all I've ever known. All I've ever wanted to know. I was one of those people who their parents would say 'He learned to run before he learned to walk' but with me it's a literal truth. Running always came naturally to me; just like every baby instinctively knows how to breathe, I knew how to run. My parents had to teach me to slow down. Even now it doesn't stick as well as they would have hoped. I still run; even if where I'm going is only a couple of minutes walk; I'll make it a couple seconds run. I always want to run.

So why do I slow down whenever I think about her?

I'll be running at top speed, all alone and her image will pop in my head (An unusual occurrence in itself) and my feet will suddenly slow their motion blurring movement to something akin to a slow jog. And that's just on a passing thought; don't even get me started on how they're affected if I go more in depth. If I consciously think about her, you won't get movement from my legs with any thing short of an electric shock. Believe me, I've tried.

And when she's chasing after me, in either one of her insane schemes to force me into marriage or do me bodily harm for whatever reason, I always run at such a slow pace it's pathetic. I'm the fastest thing alive for God's sake; I could be in the next time zone before she could blink if I ran full speed. But I don't, hell; I CAN'T run at full speed when she's my pursuer. Put anyone else behind me and I'm nothing but a blue streak gone in a flash; but if it's her I couldn't move fast enough to catch a cold.

It's just the opposite whenever she's in danger. I've been at a dead stop, too lazy to feel like doing any thing, and someone rushes over to pass on the news. I'm off like a shot, tearing through the sound barrier like tissue. I'd run to the ends of the earth if that was what it took to save her; and heaven help anything that gets in my way. Nothing would stop me until she was safe; but after that, I'd turn right around and run from her. I know she finds it annoying but she still chases after me, determined that I can be caught.

One of these days, I might just let her. But until then; I'll keep running, just fast enough to stay ahead of her.
