True Feelings… Chapter 2…
"Hey, Knuxie. Miss me?"
"Hey, Batgirl. In your dreams maybe?" He replied, sneering as he heard huffing sounds from the bat now next to him.
"Not just my dreams but yours too honey."
He snorted at her reply, "Yeah, right." He muttered, but Rouge, having the most unique hearing abilities, heard.
"What's up, Knucklehead? Why the long face?" He could've sworn concern was evident in her voice.
Weird…
"Well not everyone likes a thief visiting you, do they?" His smirk was now directed to her, facing each other.
"Well I do only visit you, don't I?" Winking at him so she could get that event blush that tinted his cheeks each time she flirted… But it never came…
Weird… He usually blushes at my snide comments…
Knuckles had never thought about it before, but whenever he saw Rouge with Shadow, Anger would arise in his chest for some reason. He wouldn't speak to anyone or do anything for maybe and hour at the most, trying to calm down and reason with his emotions. During a couple of these moments, Knuckles would think, 'their partners in a job… Nothing else. That's why she always flirts with you, so that must mean that she has some sort of feelings towards you.'
But then he thought about it harder, 'come to think of it, she flirts with almost all the men she talks to… except Sonic and Tails… Wonder why that is? But if she flirts with Shadow, then that must mean that she doesn't feel anything for me, because she does it with a lot of men… supposedly…'
A warm, but light, feeling was then placed on my left shoulder and took me outta my thoughts. I looked up to see Rouge kneeling in front of me with genuine concern and worried written all over her face.
"Knuckles? You okay?"
I flinched a little when she massaged my shoulder a little.
"Fine." I grunted, but didn't intend for it to be as harsh…
She looked kind of… well… pissed that I didn't have much manners to her actions towards me.
"Well sooorryyy Mr. Moody! I was only trying to be considerate but noooo, you had to be difficult as usual…"
"I'm not difficult! I'm just…"
"Stubborn? Bigheaded? Hot tempered?"
"Well, yeah but… wait, what?!"
A sly smirk worked its way across her smooth lips, as if she was teasing me, or testing me even. Well… It felt like it anyway… Resistance is imported at this stage!
"You heard, Knuxie."
The growl escaped my throat before I could stop it. "I hate that nickname…"
She leaned her elbows on the stone steps placing her blanch clothes under her chin, cupping her face with her hands. But the most annoying part of her position was that she was 2 steps down from me, and she had her arms pressed against her chest, as if she was purposely pushing them up, knowing that I would be pulled into temptation for a glance. I knew what she was doing though, whether she knew herself or not. I wasn't going to be tempted that easily…
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I snapped at her, feeling that her gaze was, possible, reading him like a book. But that was impossible. She could not tell what other people were thinking. Maybe sometimes from their body language, but that would be it. I think…
"What's on your mind?"
"Why are you asking?"
"Why aren't you answering?"
"Why do you ask a lot of questions?"
"Why don't you answer them?"
I growled slightly at her persistant stubborn head!
"Why do you need to know?"
"Why won't you tell?"
"Will you stop asking questions!"
"Will you start answering some or even all of them?"
"Nothin', okay? Happy now!" I snapped at her.
"Not really."
"Why not? I answered your question didn't I?"
"Yeah, but it wasn't truthful, was it?"
I give a big tiring sigh. There's no way in hell she's gonna leave me alone until I tell her. 'Be careful with your words though…' I told myself.
"Ok, fine. If I tell ya, will you stop askin' soo many questions?"
She nods to confirm her answer. I sigh, yet again, before I start…
"Ok… I like this girl and-"
"Lady or girl?" She asks me.
I gave her a questioning look.
"Woman or child?" She repeats.
"Woman… And she's the most beautiful angel I've ever seen let alone met. Yeah, I've met her, and she's judging at the start…"
"Whatcha mean by judging?"
I think for a minute, be careful to choose my words…
"Well… She's a lot nicer when you've actually got to know her. And we fight. A lot. But, I mean, people argue don't they? That wouldn't exactly be a bad point if we did start some kind of relationship?"
"Well, it depends on whether it's a lot or just at times, Knuckles…"
"But in her job she has a partner. She flirts with him sometimes. I'm not sure if it's 'cause she likes him or if she just does it for entertainment, but she does it. And when I see her flirting with other men, anger rises in my chest and I feel like I'm gonna explode! I-I just feel like beating the guy to a pulp! So then I walk away from everyone, 'cause I know that I'll do somethin' stupid if I don't! When I talk a walk, I try to calm myself down and tell myself… she doesn't even know you have these feelings, yet you act like she's your own in simple ways, like the anger thing. Then, when I am calm, I think about her again and I even smile at times, remembering the way she flirted with me, seeing the way she has a sly smirk each time she knows that she's caught me off guard and made me embarrassed… I'm not sure if I love her… I just know that my feelings for her are growing each day, and knowing that when the feelings turn to love, that I would have to tell her… 'cause it would feel like the right thing to do, ya know?"
I lifted my heads towards Rouge, and the expression on her face said it all…
Why did I give her some hints?! Why, Oh why?!
