Prompt I Found: "Darling, Stop"
"What? I haven't even done-"
"Yes you have. Come on Knuckie," Rouge was standing in front of the Master Emerald Shrine. Knuckles was stuttering over his words, saying things about her and the Master,
"Baby Steps." The guardian sighed.
"The thing is Rouge," he began his eyes on the ground, "I don't know much about relationships. Sonic was my first rival, then my first real friend. Eggman being the first fake. The Chaotix, were my first, um, I guess, just people you work and hang out with. I've never really been good at this. So how would I know the first thing about a romantic-"
"Honestly Darling, do you know who you're talking too? Sure my romantic inquires haven't always been, the best. I know you Dear, and one thing about love is, sacrifice. If you still wanna live up here, sure, but I want a house. If you're willing to come down the earth, I don't care, alright. I just want to be allowed to love you."

"O-Okay. I um, s-still don't know how to do the thing."
"The thing?"
"The, you know thing."
"Oh a kiss? Let me show you."
