The clouds were passing by slowly. Knuckles just laid there where the Master Emerald was. He stayed there, watching the sun go down and the sky changing colors. Tikal was walking towards him. He sigh when he heard her approach. "Don't worry, I'm just here to tell you I'll be right back. Amy wanted me to come over for something. I'll be back soon." She said it with her cheerful and gentle tone as always. Knuckles still didn't look at her, he never like showing his feelings. It just wasn't him. "Careful, I wont be around to protect you. So you better watch your back." Tikal smiled at her brother when he said that. " I will. Goodbye Knuckles." She waved goodbye and left. Knuckles still stayed in the same spot. He was becoming a little over protective since he found out Tikal was secretly his sister because of time travel. He didn't want to lose the only family he had. Soon his thoughts was interrupted by a certain bat.
" Well Knuxie, didn't know you care about your little sister that much. That's very brotherly of you." Knuckles was on his feet and was glaring at the bat in front of him, "Shut up Rouge. And what are you doing here anyway?" "Just thought I pay a visit. Is that so wrong?" Rouge said it with her flirty tone. Her hands were on her hips as she gave him a smile. This just made Knuckles more annoyed. "It is if your planning to steal the Master Emerald!" Rouge lost her smile, she crossed her arms and glared at the guardian. "And what makes you think I came to steal that emerald of yours?" Knuckles was in his fighting stand, "Your always here for the Master Emerald! So don't think you can get pass me bat girl!" Rouge was loosing her temper. How dare he assumes of her stealing when she hasn't done crap yet. "Look's like I have to knock some sense into you for assuming like that." Rouge flew and gave Knuckles a high kick, but he block it with his fist.
"Nice try, but you'll have to do better then that!" Soon the fight started. The fight was dangerous, but they were both to stubborn to stop. The fight lasted for two hours. They both stop and glared at each other while taking deep breaths. "So? You.. Got it yet? Or.. still want more?" Knuckles was trying to catch his breath as well. " Like.. That was anything to tire me out." Rouge was still breathing heavily. "Fine." She flew towards him and tackled him. Knuckles managed to get his grip and turned her around so she would hit the ground. Once she was on the bottom, they both were sliding on the ground. Rouge was in pain but was hiding it. Knuckles was on top of her. He never been this close to her before. As he was lost in thought, he heard the rocks cracking above him. He look up and saw the mountain near them collapsing. They were going to be crushed. Knuckles pick up Rouge bridal-style and ran to the cave near them. He jump inside the cave, while griping on Rouge so he would drop her. The rocks block their exit. He rolled on his back, and Rouge was on top of him this time. The fall was so hard, they almost accidentally kiss. They were both stunned and was turning red. Neither of them knew what to do. Till Rouge finally shook it all off and came up with another one of her flirty comments.
"I didn't know you wanted to go that far Knux." Knuckles was still red as he yelled at her. "What the hell dose that mean?" Rouge gave a flat expression, "It means you're a prev you Knucklehead." Knuckles just glared at her, "Then why am I doing this?" He tossed her off of his chest and sat up. Rouge made a slight thump and sat up whiling rubbing her head. "Some gentleman you are." She stand up and realized their caved in. "Looks like were not going anywhere for a while." Knuckles just made a cocky comment at her. "Oh please, I can break us out of here easily." He walked to the wall and was about to punch it. But Rouge pulled him by his dreadlocks away from the wall, causing him to fall on his back. "What the hell was that for?" Rouge just glared at him, "Because if you do that, you'll kill us both you idiot! Don't you see we can only dig out of here from the outside?" Knuckles just glared at her. He knew she was right. He got up and dust off the dirt on him. "So how do we get out of here then?" "Easy, call for help." Rouge brought out her phone. "I'm surprised this thing is still working after our fight." Knuckles just crossed his arms. "And what makes you think that phone of yours will get signal here?" Rouge already had the phone in her ear. She gave a cocky smile at him. " Because it's a satellite phone you knucklehead."
Knuckles just sat on the floor while Rouge was talking. "Great, I'm stuck with Rouge till someone comes here and digs us out." Knuckles thought to himself, finally Rouge hanged up. "Shadow and the others will be here soon. But to dig us out will take about two to four hours. So minus well relax." After she said that, she sat next to Knuckles. Their wasn't much room. The space was almost bigger then a closet. "Great." Knuckles grumbled when she sat next to him. It was silent for a few minutes.
Boy meets girl and looks in her eyes.. Time stands still and two hearts catch fire..
Then Rouge laid her head on his lap. She was curling up to him. Knuckles was blushing when she done that. "What are you doing?" "What's it look like I'm doing? I'm relaxing. No point on staying stiff like this for over an hour." Knuckles was trying not get the wrong idea. But with Rouge. She always made everything seem sexual some how. Rouge turned her head and faced the ceiling and Knuckles. Once Knuckles saw those blue sapphire like eyes. His blush grew more as he was starting to get loss in those eyes. "Why is it always her?" He thought to himself. Rouge noticed Knuckles wasn't saying anything. "What's wrong Knuxie? Not having fun are we?" Rouge gave a mocking and flirty tone at him.
Off they go roller coaster ride. Up and down and around twisted all out of their minds..
Knuckles just look away from her. "Like I'll actually have fun with someone like you." Rouge was a little hurt, but she tried not to show it. "Why are you always so harsh? I hardly did anything wrong." She said it with concern in her voice. Knuckles just sigh and look at her again. "I'm not use to being around anyone." "Doesn't mean you can act like a jerk to them." Knuckles knew she was right. But honestly he didn't know how to act around others. He couldn't be all nice. That will just let his guard down. Soon Rouge caught his drift.
This isn't just another love story. Together we'll make history. I know because it's our destiny.
"I see, you think being nice will just make you seem weak dose it?" Knuckles was a little surprised when she said that. "How do you know?" "Simple, because Shadow acts like that as well. He's just trying to be all tuff so he wouldn't look like a softy. But I bet he is. Just like you." Knuckles was blushing when she said that. He yelled at her, "I'm not soft!" Rouge just rolled her eyes. "Sure your not Knux. All tuff guys like you are secretly softies when it comes to women." Knuckles was just turning more red. He yelled down at her again "You wanna repeat that Rouge?" Rouge was starting to get annoyed again, but she still stayed there in the same position. Her head on his lap, still facing towards him. "Are you that dumb for me to repeat it?" Knuckles growled at her. Rouge gave him a mocking smile.
There'll be no end to our love story. And this ant gon end up like that Casablanca movie.. No.
Knuckles gave up and sighed. He noticed Rouge was staring at him for some reason. He look down at her and ask, "What?" "Tell me Knux, when was that last time you got kissed?" Knuckles was turning red again. "What the hell dose that have to do with anything?" Rouge had her hands behind her head and shrugged. "Just a casual question." "More like a stupid one! What dose it matters to you anyways?" Rouge was avoiding the answer, she wasn't good with saying her feelings with words. It just made it harder. "I bet you never been kissed." Knuckles was still red and was losing his patience. "Of coursed I've been kissed!" Rouge sat up and yelled back. "Are you serious? By the looks of it, you never been kissed once!" She said it without realizing how close her face was to him. Knuckles yelled, "Like I said! I did!" "Then prove it!" Rouge yelled. "Fine!" After Knuckles said that, he kissed Rouge and fell deeper into the kiss. Rouge kiss back, holding on to Knuckles for support.
This anit no fairy tale or fiction this is truly. Ours is for eternity. There be no end to our love story baby….
Soon they drifted apart and gave a slight smile. "Wow. Your better then I thought Knucklehead." Knuckles just gave a grin. "Want to do it again?" He slightly pulled Rouge closer to him for another kiss. Once their lips touch again, they heard a crashing sound coming from outside. The rocks from the exit fell apart. Sonic, Silver and Shadow were the first to be insight. "Hey Knuck… Oh." He stop when he saw Knuckles and Rouge in their position. "Want us to come back later?" Shadow said it with a grin on his face towards the couple. Tikal pop her head in the cave. "Umm.. Sorry you guys. We were worried. I guess we shouldn't be huh?" Knuckles and Rouge were both red with embarrassment. Knuckles help Rouge up and walk out of the cave. "Damn Knux. First Silver and Blaze, now you? Who's next?" Sonic said it with his cocky tone. "Keep talking hedgehog." Knuckles growled. Tikal just gave them a warm smile. "Well I'm happy you two got together. You make such a good couple." "Easy there Tik. Or Rouge might knock you out." Shadow said it with his usual cold tone like voice. Rouge just glared at him. "Oh please Shadow. I'm not as cold as you. Maybe you might hurt her, but I wouldn't. right Tik?" "Uhh… I suppose." Tikal was a little confused on what Rouge meant. Knuckles was scratching his head. "So Rouge. I'll.. See you again tomorrow afternoon or so?" "Rouge smiled, "it's a date then Knuxie" She wink at him and flew off. Knuckles just stand there watching her in the sky. "I'll be waiting." He thought to himself.
