Cream sighed quietly to herself as she watched the small fox lying helplessly in his bed, his arm attached to a drip to keep his fluids in check, and his pain down. The hospital had released him within hours of his arrival after ensuring that his injuries were mainly cosmetic, unable to keep him due to the small size of the hospital and some particularly poor renovation work. They weren't able to do much about that, apart from throw on a few bandages and advise Cream to keep him in bed for a few days from when he eventually awoke.
Cream had reluctantly agreed to take him home, understanding the condition of Tails, and the poor condition of the hospital. She may not have been sure that she would be able to look after Tails very well, but she knew that it was the best option.
Getting him home hadn't been the easiest experience of her life. Tails wasn't anywhere near as light as he looked and Cream wasn't the best at flying long distance. Unfortunately, without a car, she had had little choice but to fly him home. She was still tired from that experience.
It had been quite a long time since they had gotten home, and Tails was still sleeping soundly in his bed. Cream, however, wasn't quite so calm. She just couldn't wait for him to awaken from his sleep so she could give him some gentle comfort and look after him properly, and to try and make up for the harsh way she had dumped him, at the every least.
"I wish I didn't hurt you so badly" She muttered quietly to herself as she gently felt his temperature, noting that he was getting a bit cold. She quickly pulled up his covers to help warm him up a bit, and, after checking to ensure no one had slipped into the room in the last minute, gave him a gentle hug.
However, unluckily for her, it was this contact that was enough to wake Tails. He tiredly opened his eyes and was surprised to see Cream leaning over him, hugging him sweetly. Cream quickly noticed his open eyes and jumped away.
"Um" She nervously searched for an excuse "I was trying to keep you warm. The hospital told me so"
Feeling a bit disappointed, Tails sighed "Oh, I hope I wasn't too much of a bother"
Cream shrugged "It wasn't too hard. Oh, that reminds me; the hospital said you had to stay in bed for the next few days."
Tails wearily nodded and tried to pull himself up to a sitting position, and was surprised when he felt his arms give out from the exertion, leaving him right back where he started. "Let me guess" he told her weakly "I'm also going to be a bit weak as well"
"Yeah, but I'm going to look after you" Cream told him quietly "And I'm going to go get you some food, don't move while I'm gone" And with that she took off waster that she would normally have ever moved.
"I can't stay in that room while he keeps looking at me like that." Cream muttered to herself as she quickly began work on Tails' food. "I practically betrayed his trust in me. I knew he was going to ask me out, so why did I have to be such a..." She trailed off.
"Well, such a bitch" She finished quietly "I could've let him down gently. Heck, I could've just told him the truth, but, no, instead I had to do that complete wrong thing and tell him that I had never loved him and that he would never have a chance with me"
"I saw how much my reaction hurt him. Why did I have to be so mean? He wasn't being demanding or anything." She sighed "I can't keep this up. I've just got to come clean. It doesn't matter if I was embarrassed to admit my feelings, he laid his own completely bare to me, the least I can do is reveal my own, honest, feelings to him, of him"
And with that new concept stirring away in her mind, Cream marched straight back to Tails' bedroom, forgetting all about the promised food, in order to set everything right.
As soon as she walked into the small bedroom, she found Tails staring at her worried. He had obviously heard her run back to his room. "Is everything okay" He asked nervously
"Everything's fine" Cream told him, and then slowly made her way over to him, sitting gently on the side of the bed, her hand gently stroking his arm. "But, we need to talk"
Tails couldn't help frowning as Cream spoke the four universal words that had spelled doom for many relationships. "What is it" he asked, more worried that before. "Because, whatever I did wrong, I can stop. I want to keep our friendship"
Cream shook her head "I didn't mean it like that"
"Then, what is it?" Tails asked
"Do you remember when you asked me out on a date?" Cream asked nervously, hoping that he would be okay with the bad memory.
Tails sighed "I remember, and don't worry. I promise to not chase you like Amy did to Sonic"
Cream gently ran her hand through the fox's hair "That isn't what I mean, do you remember my reasons for breaking up with you?"
"You said that you didn't love me" Tails muttered
Cream swallowed nervously "Well, the thing is....I lied"
"Huh?' Tails looked at her confused "You love me?"
Cream didn't reply straight away, instead she blushed and looked away "I was just too embarrassed to tell you" She told him quietly "I love you, I'm not going to deny that. But I just couldn't bring myself enough admit it to you"
Before Tails could respond, Cream lent over him and captured his lips in a gentle kiss. A kiss that Tails was only too willing to return.
