New Home
HILO GUYS! Okay, this was supposed to be just a one-shot, but apparently you guys want more of…whatever this fan fiction thingy is. So this is what I'm giving you! If you guys want, I can probably turn this into a series of one-shots about Sonic and Tails. It depends if you REVIEW! Okay, let's do this!
"Okay, little buddy, let's get you out of the rain," Sonic said, carrying Tails into his house and placing him on the couch. The rain was still pouring outside, and had soaked the two to the bone. "I'm gonna go get a towel," he said, then sped up the stairs.
Sonic's house was a small one, but served its purpose. The first floor had a living room and a kitchen, the second floor having two bedrooms and a bathroom. Tails sighed and leaned back in to the couch, dizzy from his injuries. So this is my new home… So many emotions were running through him. Happiness, sadness, excitement, and a little bit of fear. It wasn't every day you were saved by a hero.
"Found it," Sonic said, coming down the stairs. He approached Tails and wrapped the towel around the kit, ruffling his bangs. Already the hedgehog felt close to him, like he had known the fox all his life. He sat down on the couch next to him for a few minutes before talking. "Do you...want anything to eat?" he asked.
Tails was about to decline, but his stomach felt like he was being eaten from the inside out. It dawned on him that his parents had not fed him in the past two days. "I guess some food would be nice," he replied quietly.
Sonic smiled. "Got it," within a few minutes he came back with a bowl of chicken noodle soup in his hand and gave it to Tails before sitting back down again. "That's a real shiner you got there," he commented as the kit began to eat, noticing the black ring around his eye.
Tails shrugged without even looking up, bringing another spoonful of food to his mouth. As he swallowed, the soup made him feel warm inside, more relaxed. "I've had worse before."
The hedgehog sat up straighter and looked at him with concern. "You mean this has happened already?"
The fox nodded as he swallowed again. "My parents have thrown me out before, not permanently, but just for a little while as a punishment. They knew the kids would come and beat me up. It's happened a few times." His tone was nonchalant, like it was just an everyday subject. "I just got used to it, I guess. My dad used to whip me with a belt too."
Sonic shook his head. "You know it shouldn't be like that, kid. Your parents are supposed to love and take care of you, not beat you up because you're different."
He shrugged again before taking another bite of soup. "I guess so." He was quiet for a moment before speaking up again. "Don't you have parents here with you, Sonic?"
The hedgehog winced and bit his lip. "They um...died in a fire when Robotnik attacked. The last time I saw them I was nine. I didn't have any other family other than them, either."
Tails paused before putting his bowl of soup down on the coffee table, then wrapped his arms around his friend's torso, hugging him. "I'm sorry I asked."
Sonic shook his head and smiled. "It's okay buddy. I'm fine."
The kit looked up at him, his big blue eyes shining. "I could be your family, if you want...I don't want to leave...I'm afraid those kids'll find me and try to beat me up again…"
Ruffling Tails' bangs, Sonic smiled again. "Okay then, Tails. I don't want you to leave anyway."
"Thank you, Sonic…" Tails whispered. He yawned, then slumped on to his friend's shoulder. Feeling very sleepy, his muscles relaxed and his eyes drooped shut before he fell into a deep sleep.
All righty, there you go! Another chapter! If you want more of this, tell me in the reviews! I can make this into a series of one-shots about Sonic and Tails and take suggestions if you want. Reviews are cherished! Thanks! See ya later!
PS: This is the first fic I've ever done using Google Docs! And it was stupid because I had to copy paste it to Microsoft Word to upload it! Lesson learned: Don't use Google Docs to do this, unless you just want a way to access your story from anywhere. Other than that, it's inferior to Word.
