Sonic walked down the cold, wet streets of Station Square. Tails' head lolled against the hedgehog's shoulder, his eyes half-closed. Sonic's arm was around Tails', holding him up. Tails looked like he was going to fall sleep right there.
Maybe we shoulda gone home after all, Sonic thought, glancing down at the fox nestled into his shoulder. He does look really cute like that, though.
He lifted his head to gaze up at the bright stars scattered around the pitch-black night sky. The buildings towered over him, their bleak, gray walls slightly intimidating. Sonic smiled as he remembered past adventures in this same city, such as when Perfect Chaos flooded the whole town. Nothing had changed since then. Well, technically, nothing had changed since all the buildings had been restored.
Sonic kept on walking. He had no idea where they were going, he just let his feet keep strolling until he found somewhere they could just sit for a while, then head home.
Then, he heard a sound. A sound that would have sent horrible shivers down his spine a few years ago. Now, it was the most relaxing sound that could have reached his ears, apart from Tails' kitten-like purr.
The soothing whoosh of the waves as they washed over the soft sand of the beautiful Emerald Coast beach. He decided to head there.
Sonic sat down on the hot sand, Tails slumped against him, curling up onto his lap. His hands clutched at Sonic's shirt.
Mmm, Sonic's even warmer than the sand... he thought dreamily as he felt gentle hands run down his back, making him tingle all through his body. He fell asleep in seconds, his head nuzzled into Sonic's side.
Sonic smiled down at Tails. He was so sweet when he was sleeping, by both the way he looked, and the soft snuffling sounds of his breathing.
He's so cute. I couldn't ever let him go because of what other people think.
He sighed quietly, his fingers twiddling with Tails' hair.
I feel so sorry for him. I thought people would start to hate me, and I wouldn't care about that. But... why are they all treating Tails like this?
"It's just not fair on him." He whispered, looking out at the streaky red sky above the horizon. He would do anything at all to protect Tails, that was the promise he had made when they had first met, and it was even more true now.
He sat stroking Tails' head for another half hour or so, before deciding to go home. He gently eased himself out from underneath the kit, carefully lifting him up from the sand. Tails' body lolled against his chest as he was cradled in the hedgehog's arms.
Sonic smiled, breaking into a sprint and running home through the familier streets, completely unaware that the past few hours were soon going to cause more problems than they were supposed to solve.
