Chapter 2
Living with Rouge The Bat is a pain in the…
The next morning knuckles woke up on a extremely comfortable couch. He sat up and rubbed his eyes and stretched he just sat there a minute looking around and wondering where he was.
The house was huge it seemed three stories high and it looked really fancy. He was in the living room and there was a flat screen TV in front of him and a glass coffee table in between him and the TV he figured who ever lived here was pretty rich.
" so I see you finally woke up", Rouge said with a smile. Knuckles turned around quickly and noticed it was rouge. He felt pretty frustrated that he didn't get to save the master emerald and because he was hurting pretty bad from yesterday. So he just let out a low grunting sound and turned the other way," oh so are you giving me the silent treatment ok then two can play at that game", rouge laughed as she started walking towards the couch. Rouge went to sit down. She sat so close to knuckles she heard his low breathing knuckles just sat there feeling a little nervous. He wanted to just get up and leave but his leg seemed pretty bad.
They just sat there a minute till Rouge just couldn't take the quite any more especially sense there was somebody right there to talk to," oh come on knuckles say some thing, why are you mad at me, I saved you" Rouge yelled with an annoyed look as she started to scoot away ,"I'm not mad at you, I'm just kind of sore from yesterday and cause egg man got away with the master emerald", knuckles said with an angry look in his eyes.
,"oh you poor thing", Rouge said sarcastically ,"oh shut up rouge, your lucky I'm even telling you this, you should just go make me something to eat", knuckles said with a smirk ," why wont you get off your lazy ass and
get it yourself", Rouge said in a playful way as she started towards the kitchen ," uhm, I don't know maybe because I dropped like 50 feet out of the sky yesterday", knuckles yelled as he tried to get up, but failed because of his leg, it seemed pretty bad. He had a huge cut in his leg That was raped with cloth, but didn't really help because blood was seeping through it .
Once knuckles managed to get up he limped in to the kitchen. When he walked in, the kitchen was a pretty cool sight. The walls were a baby blue and so was the tile on the floor but the one thing knuckles actually liked Was the refrigerator, sense he was starving ," so you managed to get up", rouge said from behind him as she sat down two plates on a glass dinner table," this is a really nice house ", knuckles said as he sat down ,"thanks it wasn't easy getting all of this especially sense I had to do it all by myself", Rouge said with a sigh. "well nice work, it almost impresses me" knuckles joked "who said I was trying to impress any one, especially you" Rouge laughed
After they both were done eating they walked into the living room
And went to watch some TV" you still sore ", rouge asked ," no…I'm not hurting that much, but its probably because I'm sitting down ", knuckles said. He tried not to look like he was hurting but he couldn't help but flinch when he readjusted his leg.
A few minutes later rouge started to get bored and decided to mess with knuckles's head again so she
Scooted over closer to him. He didn't notice so she scooted a little more, he still didn't really look concerned yet so she scooted over some more so that there arms touched knuckles looked down at his arm and saw that rouge's arm was rubbing against his so his face turned a light pink, rouge saw that he was blushing and she smiled a little. She then took her hand and ran her fingers through his hair down his face and stopped at his birth mark ," I like you knuckles", rouge said as she gave him a hot smile "what do you mean", knuckles said with a blush on his face ," I mean, I think your responsible you can take care of your self you don't care what other people think of you…your cute", rouge said with the same smile.
Knuckles just sat there confused and nervous. His face was a very dark red, rouge just laughed ,"knuckles are you blushing?", rouge said playfully "uhm…no why don't you go some where rouge just go away", knuckles said with an angered tone ,"no, I just asked because, knuckles your as red as your fur", rouge laughed "well sense you want me to leave, I'm going to go to bed ", rouge said as she got up and walked towards the stairs," well, your welcome to come too", rouge winked at knuckles as she walked up the stairs. Knuckles watched her go and was still very red.
he just laid down on the couch and couldn't go to sleep, he kept thinking of rouge and what she did earlier. He wondered why she was like that, to him some times she was a fly that would never leave you alone. But then again some times he actually kind of liked rouge.
Once it hit midnight he fell asleep. When 4 o'clock came knuckles rolled off the couch. It made him wake up immediately, his leg was stinging .He slowly got up and sat himself on the couch, he was tired of just sitting around he wanted to do something or at least explore the house, so he got up and walked to the front of the stairs. He looked up at them and shook his head knowing that this was going to be difficult. He slowly took step by step up the stairs. He thought it was amazing that the house was so big and only one person lived in it.
It took him forever to find the bathroom. when he was done looking through most of the rooms he walked into rouge's room she was sound asleep he thought she looked really pretty which was strange to him because she was usually a bitch to him. He then all of a sudden felt a sharp pain in his leg and went to the bed sat down. He felt light headed so he laid down for a minute and tried to keep himself from falling asleep. But he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore, he quickly fell asleep.
