A/n: *Puts on sunglasses* It's about to get spicy in this chapter so let's do this….I promise to never do that again…I own nothing
'Where's Sonic? We have first period English he should have snuck in by now,' Amy thought to herself. The blue haired teen wasn't here yet nor had he texted her and she was starting to get worried.
The bell rang much to her relief. The longer she stayed in the class waiting for him the more nervous she got. As she darted her way through the crowded halls she heard someone call her by a irritating nickname that she loathed.
"Hey Pinky, wait up!"
Amy let out a low growl. Only a handful of people used that horrid nickname and she had a feeling the same exact person who started the trend was the one trying to get her attention.
"My name is Amy. Amy!" Amy stressed to Rouge as she caught up with her.
"Yeah whatever. Look Sonic wanted me to give you a message."
"You know what happened to Sonic!" Amy yelled in shock.
"Yeah, he told me to tell you that he wasn't gonna be in school today. He also wanted to spread the word to everyone else but I have something else I need to take care of. Think you can do it for me?"
"I can do it, but just how exactly do you know what's going on with Sonic?"
"Simple. He told me. I gotta go see you later Pinky!" Rouge said before walking away.
"MY NAME IS AMY!" The pink haired girl yelled after her.
'What a jerk but anyways how would she know what's going on with Sonic? What if Knuckles was wrong and they are dating! What if-'
Rrrrrrriiiiiinnnnnnggggg!
"Gah! I'm late for class!"
As much as he wanted too Sonic knew that he couldn't spy on his little brother right now. It would seem really suspicious and if the school saw him hanging around and trying to look inconspicuous they would probably go into lock down. It was because of this Sonic had a few hours to kill and was just walking around. Sonic made his way to the park and sat down on a bench. He took a deep breath in as he took in his surrounding. It had been a long time since he had actually been able to look around a relax. Ever since he had gotten that job as a waiter he had been so busy and even though he has a new job now he's still busy with school, his current job and practically raising Tails. The saddest part about this was he actually used to come here a lot as a child. Almost every week his mom would go with him and his little brother to the park or she would let them walk alone since Sonic was very responsible for a 10 year old.
"Miles! Where'd you go? Miles!"
Miles snickered from his hiding spot in the tree. His big brother turned his back for a second and that's when little three year old Miles got his great idea. Now he just had to wait for the perfect moment.
"Miles where are you! This isn't funny!" Sonic yelled out in an annoyed tone. His mother had put him in charge of his baby brother while she went to the bathroom and he had already lost him. Where the heck could he have gone too?
"Hey Sonic!"
The ten year old turned around to see his baby brother crawling on a tree branch.
"Miles what are you doing up there? That tree branch doesn't look safe. You could fall and get hurt," Sonic scolded.
Miles just smiled and jumped off the branch while after yelling "Catch me!"
Sonic eye's widened as he ran over to where his brother was falling. Next thing he knew he was groaning in pain with his baby brother on top of him asking him if he was okay.
After remembering it the fifteen year old found himself chuckling at that memory. He ended up with a broken left hand but he was a righty anyways and if it meant his little brothers safety then it was worth it.
"Sonic, is that you?"
The blue haired teen turned his head towards the source of the voice only to find out it came from a familiar looking green haired, headphone wearing, very large 20 year old.
"Oh hey Vector. What are you doing here?"
Vector snorted, "I should be asking you the same question. I get that school sucks but you almost never skip."
"Yeah I know but I have some important business to take care of," Before Vector could offer his team's services Sonic quickly added, "alone."
"So how about you. After all since you're basically failing all of your classes I think your the last person who would want to play hookie," Sonic teased.
Vector laughed, "HA! Like I give a rats-ass about school! Those people can waste their lives away sitting at desks if they want but me and my team, we're going places. Like just last week me and my team were able to track down a couple of runaway drug dealers for a mob boss, who was very generous when it came to the reward. By the way of you want theirs still for you and Tails to jo-"
"Still not happening," Sonic responded in a deadpan voice. Ever since he learned about Sonics speed and Tails intellect he's been trying to get the two to join team Chaotix. Due to the fact that Sonic didn't want himself or his little brother to be connected to gangs or mob bosses however he always decline the offer, just like he did now.
"It was worth a shot," Vector responded, "Anyways the other reason I'm not in that shit hole today is because I'm waiting on a call. Apparently someone is interested in my services and last time I went to school with this knowledge that bitch Ms. White took away my phone!" He ranted.
Suddenly his cell phone went off. Vector took a glance it and smirked before answering it.
"Hello this is Team Chaotix leader Vector...Okay...yeah...you got it."
Vector clicked the phone so it went into sleep mode and got up.
"Me and the boys got a job tonight. I have to head back to the headquarters and prepare. See ya later Sonic."
"Later Vector," Sonic responded as he watched the green a haired adult leave.
Sonic took out his own phone and checked the time.
11:30.
"I guess an early lunch wouldn't hurt."
After getting lunch and running some errands (such as shopping) the time finally came for him to head to the elementary school and see what the heck was up with his kid brother. When Sonic got their he saw kids walking out, perfect. This meant he could just go inside undetected and pass as someone who was picking up picking up a relative or something. Once inside Sonic started to walk around the halls, trying to ignore the wave after wave of nostalgia that flowed through him. He was snapped out of his daze when he heard the sound of someone's voice. Sonic quickly hid behind a corner and peeked his head out. He saw his little brother, Cream and a friend of Tails and Creams, the youngest member of the chaotix Charmy, standing parallel to this group of kids that looked to be in middle school at least.
"Don't you have ears! I told you not to make my homework sound so much like you! I almost got in trouble because of how you did it!" The one in the middle with green hair yelled.
Tails opened his mouth to apologize but Cream and Charmy beat him to talking.
"You big meanie! So you're the one who's been picking on my friend!" Cream exclaimed angrily.
"Why don't you do your own homework. Or are you just to dumb to do it?" Charmy spat.
The green teen let out a growl and a girl with long hot pink hair stepped towards Charmy. Despite the fact that she towered over him however the skater boy refused to back down.
"Why don't you take a hike, pipsqueak," She said as she pushed him down.
"Charmy!" Cream exclaimed as she and Tails tried to help him up, which was hard to do because of his roller skates.
As they were trying to help Charmy get back on his feet Creams doll fell out of her bag.
"What do we have here?" The pink haired girl asked as she picked it up.
"Cheese!" Cream exclaimed.
"What is that thing even supposed to be?" The green haired boy asked.
"Maybe it's a bird," The grey one suggested.
"Don't be ridiculous. How can it be a bird it doesn't even have wings."
"Give Cheese back to Cream right now!" Tails demanded.
The three shot Tails a glare at his bold demand.
"Wave give the kid her doll back!"
The pink haired girl, now known as Wave stared at her green haired friend is disbelief.
"But Jet-"
"Wave!"
Wave let out a grunt of annoyance and threw the doll at Cream, who was able to catch it. The three children turned to leave when Tails was grabbed by the back of his shirt by the larger kid with a silver hair.
"Tails!" Cream cried out in a fearful voice.
"What are you doing!" Tails yelled fearfully.
Jet snickered, "I said the girl could have her doll back, however I didn't say it would come without a price," Jet then held out his hand, expecting Tails to put money it.
"I-I don't have any money," Tails stuttered.
Jet scowled, "Then I guess we'll have to get paid in another way. Hold him still Storm," Jet ordered the big guy.
"Hey, leave Tails alone!" Charmy yelled as he got ready to skate towards the guy holding his friend.
"Not so fast pipsqueak!" Wave exclaimed as she grabbed Charmy by his arm and threw him against the lockers.
Jet pulled his fist back getting ready to punch the eight year old. Tails screwed his eyes shut waiting for the blow, however before it could happen he heard a voice.
"What's going on here!"
Everyone looked over to see a blue haired teenager standing there, his arms crossed and an angry expression on his face.
"Who the hell are you?" Storm asked.
The child that was being forced to keep his hands in back of him stared at Sonic in both shock and disbelief.
Jet rolled his eyes, "Look, unless you're looking for a beating I suggest you beat it."
Now it was Sonic's turn to roll his eyes, "I'm only going to say this once, either you let him go and never bother these kids again or else."
Storm laughed, "Or else what?"
Before anyone could blink Tails was on the ground while his previous captor was knocked out and had a bloody nose.
"Anyone else?" Sonic asked remaining awestruck bullies.
"You'll pay for this!" Jet exclaimed as he and Wave picked up Storm (although do to his size and weight they ended up more or less dragging him) and running away before the blue hedgehog changed his mind and decided to go after them next.
"Wow Sonic that was so cool!" Charmy exclaimed.
"Thank you for saving us Mr. Sonic," Cream said as she wiped away her tears.
"Don't mention it," Sonic said as he gave the two kids a soft smile. He took a quick glance at Tails and saw him now standing but looking down so his face was hidden and still standing it the spot he had been in when he stood back up."
"Charmy, didn't you say Vector gave you a phone designed to call him or Espio."
Charmy took out his phone which was basically a flip phone that was specially designed to only have 3 options on who to call, Espio, Vector or the hideout, "Yeah, Vector wont let me have a real phone since the last time I kept prank calling clients."
"Can you do me a favor and call up Espio to walk Cream and you home? I need to talk to Tails in private."
"Okay. Come on Cream," Charmy said before rolling away.
Cream starting walking but stopped. She turned around and gave Tails one worried glance before she continued to follow the skater.
Once the two were out of earshot Sonic walk over to Tails.
"Buddy, are you alright?"
Tails didn't answer right away and instead just continued to look down. He brought his hand up to wipe something away from the his face. Sonic knew exactly what that something was.
"Tails…"Sonic said before he enveloped his younger brother into hug. Tails didn't hug him back but instead just silently sobbed into his big brothers stomach. After about a minute Sonic slowly pushed Tails away and knelt down so they were eye level.
"Why didn't you tell me what was going on?" He asking, keeping his hands on Tails shoulders
Tails hesitated before answering, "You're having trouble balancing school, work and taking care of me as it is, I didn't want to worry you."
"Miles, I'm your big brother, I'm supposed to worry about you," The blue haired teen responded as he wiped away the strawberry blondes tears.
The child nodded but still kept his head down.
"Hey come on now, no more tears," Sonic said. He hated when anyone he cared about cried, especially his little brother. That's when he got a idea.
Sonic stood up and walked behind Tails. Tails made no move what so ever. Sonic then quickly placed his hands on Tails sides and tickled him. The kid let out a small giggle before getting away from Sonic in a spastic manner. Tails lifted his head and gave Sonic a confused tear filled look.
Sonic smirked evilly and ran over to Tails (not using his full speed obviously). Tails let out a surprised yelp before running away and out of the school as he was chased by Sonic.
"I'm gonna get you Tails!"
"Only if you can catch me!" Tails yelled as he stuck out his tongue and picked up speed.
"I always love a good challenge," Sonic said as he as well picked up speed. Just as they were in front of their house Sonic sped up and tackled Tails causing both of them to land on the front lawns grass.
Sonic then forced Tails up with him and forced his into a headlock.
"Let me go!" Tails exclaimed. Despite his protests he couldn't suppress his giggling.
Sonic smirked, "Not until I know for sure that you're done crying!"
"Okay! I'm done! I'm done!"
Sonic released Tails. Once he was released he scowled at his big brother, "You're no fair."
"I don't have to be I'm your older brother. Listen I know your heart was in the right place but if something like this is going on your have to tell me. Mom and Dad are gone now, all we have is each other."
Tails nodded, "Okay Sonic."
Sonic then hugged Tails. "I love ya buddy."
Tails instead of standing their, hugged Tails back this time, "I love you too big brother."
