3rd Person

-Lunch Time-

Blaze pulled Silver aside after walking away from their table. She had a serious and sad look in her eyes.

"What's wrong Blaze?" Silver asked, worried.

"Can you ride with me after school today? I'll have my driver take you home. I need to talk to you, and I don't want to do it at school."

"S-Sure." Silver gulped.

Blaze nodded and threw away what was on her tray. "Good, see you then." She walked out the cafe doors, leaving Silver afraid of what was on her mind.

Silver's POV

I got a text from Sonic saying that Shadow and he were leaving me if I didn't show up in the next 5 minutes. I texted him back saying that I was riding with Blaze today. He texted ok, and for me to get home safe.

When I put my phone back in my pocket, Blaze was sitting still beside me, holding my hand, but her hands shaking. She was shaking.

"Blaze?"

Blaze sighed shakingly and looked at me. "I'm not happy."

I bent my ears down dishearted. "Why?"

"I feel like I'm something I'm not every day." She started to tear up, something I've never seen from Blaze, ever.

"What do you mean? You have to tell me upfront what's wrong so I can help, Blaze."

"I don't want to wear the skirt uniform, I want to wear pants."

I blinked twice, this was not what I was expecting. "Is that it?"

"I also don't want to wear makeup, I don't want to wear dresses, and I hate being so uptight all the time. I feel like I can't relax for a second, even when I'm with you…" She buried her face in my chest and started to sob.

I began to tear up as well from an upwelling of emotions, and this caused me to laugh.

"Wh-Why are you laughing?! Do you think this is a joke?!"

"No, no. I'm laughing because I thought you were breaking up with me. I felt that aura from you. That you weren't happy even though we kiss and hold hands. I didn't feel the love from you."

Blaze calmed down from my explanation. "I'm sorry...I do love you, but I just feel so trapped."

I nodded. "I understand...let me help."

"How? There's no way my family will let me dress the way I want to, let me have fun, and just be myself. I have to prepare to be Queen someday."

"To be a Queen you have to take care of your subjects as well as yourself...you have to learn to take care of yourself first. And again, I'll help."

"...But traditions-"

"Are meant to be broken." I hugged her tight, and she purred calmly.

"I feel a bit happier already." She smiled.

"I'm happy that you told me what you've been bottling up all this time."

The driver stopped and I looked out the window seeing we were in front of my house. I felt Blaze clutch my shirt tighter, and I put my hands on top of her's.

"I'll text you and call you later, ok? We'll figure out what we'll say to HeadMaster Robotnik tomorrow."

Blaze nodded and didn't say anything as I grabbed my stuff and got out the car. I stayed on the porch waving at her till she was completely out of sight and went inside.

Sonic's POV

I was in the living room and heard Silver enter the house. Good. "Silver, can I talk with you and Shadow?"

Silver let out an exhausted sigh.

"Come on, it won't take that long!" I grabbed his arm and dragged him into Shadow's room without knocking which I received a good yelling.

"How many times do I have to fucking tell you two about entering my room without-!"

"Yeah yeah yeah, I need to talk to you two now. It's important, please?"

Shadow grumbled as Silver and I sat on his bed. I twiddled my thumbs as my brothers were waiting for what I had to say.

"Can we...talk about me getting the surgery, again?"

"What about the surgery?" Shadow sighed.

"I want to get rid of my boobs. I hate wearing a binder every day, I hate how I can't stay over at Knuckles' house in fear of getting caught! I want to go to a doctor soon and see if I can get the surgery during Thanksgiving/Christmas break."

"But Sonic we went over this, it's a lot of money, something could go wrong, and even if nothing happens they'll be scarring with no guarantee they'll fade." Silver listed.

"Why are you both so negative about me achieving a body I'll be proud of!" I growled.

"Because you're still young, you could still change your-"

I interrupted Shadow in a serious tone. "I'm never changing my mind. You know what- never mind. You guys will never understand."

Silver got up and yelled in my face. "Understand?! We had to leave home because of you!"

I got up and yelled at him. "I was being abused!"

"Yeah! Because you couldn't just be a normal girl! There are other people with REAL problems, ya know?!"

"You blame me?!"

Shadow got in between us calmly but strongly keeping us from knocking each other's teeth in. "Calm down, you both are gonna disturb the neighbors."

"It's time you stopped living in this fantasy, Sonia. We're tired of it! Shadow and I are tired of working our asses off keeping this house and paying for your hormone injections and therapy

Sessions! Do us a favor and stop thinking of yourself!"

Once I heard him use my dead name that was it. I blacked out and only felt the stinging of my fists making contacted to what I hoped was Silver. Silver used his telekinesis powers to throw me across the room and then again on the floor, I groaned, rolling over on the floor. Silver just stood there, and Shadow I don't know where he went.

"I have a girlfriend to worry about." And he walked away.

I got up, holding back the urge to go after him, but letting the urge to cry consume me.

Do you think I want to be like this, Silver? Don't you think I wish I could be comfortable in my own body?

I saw Shadow come in with a first aid kit and I sighed. "Shadow I-"

"Shut up, you already ruined my room." Despite his anger about his room he tended my visual wounds."

"I'm sorry," I whispered, and felt him wipe away the tears that were still falling, and not because of the Neosporin.

"...It's not your fault. Sleep in my room tonight so Silver can calm down."

I nodded, emotionally exhausted. "What about the surgery?"

"We'll talk more about it later." He started packing up the first aid kit to put it back in the bathroom.

"Ok…thanks Shadow," I whispered as he left the room.

So much for a talk.
