Knuckle awoke from a loud clap of thunder. He sat up and looked around. "Man that was loud, why does it always get that loud!" The red thought angrily to him self. A gentle knock on his bed room door pulled him out of his thoughts. "Yes?"

"K-Knuckles, can I come in?" Knuckles knew that voice belong to sonic. But he never heard him in such a panic tone.

"Yeah, you can." With that the door slowly opened. The young hero walked towards the bed and sat on the side of it. He was hugging himself and trembling. "Sonic, what's wrong? Are you afraid of the storm?" Knuckles asked as he turned on his looked back at sonic to see he was about to cry.

"I'm so sorry, knuckles." The hedgehog said with a trembling voice. This caused the echidna to give a counfussed look to his friend.

"What do you mean, sonic? You haven't done any thing wrong." The guardian said as he sat next to sonic on the bed. He placed his hand on Sonics back and started to stroke him. Sonic cring from the gentle touch.

"I'm mean I'm sorry for waking you. I know it was stupid of me to wake you up." Sonic said. He had a dark red blush on his cheeks. Knuckles watched as sonic squirmed. The blue one had to bit his lip to keep in a moan."Why does this feel good!? He done this before to me." Sonic thought to him self, he squeezed his eyes shout as well.

"I'm sorry, Sonic," Knuckles said as stop doing his gentle strokes on the younger ones back "why didn't you tell me that this was uncomfortable for you?" Sonic eyes snapped open.

"N-no,knuckles, it wasn't uncomfortable...it felt um...nice" Sonic said with a now ruby shade of red forming on his peach muzzle. Knuckles smiled from the reaction.

"Oh, well then. Maybe I should start back up~" The echidna said in a teasing tone,as he start to stroke sonic's side. The blue hedgehog started snickering from the feeling.

"K-knuckles, that's not what you did before!" Sonic said between his laughs. This only made knuckles grin grow wider as he pins the venerable hedgehog to the bed and tickles his belly."knuckles, no stop! You know that I'm ticklish there!"

"That's why I'm tickling you there, you silly hedgehog" knuckles said as continue his tickle attack. 5 Minutes later knuckles stop tickling the poor,defenseless hedgehog. "There do you feel better know?"

"Yes, though I wished you didn't tickle,me so much." Sonic answered between pants. Knuckles chuckled from the response. The red one got off of sonic and sat in the middle of the bed.

"So,are you going to answer my question?" Knuckles asked with a gentle smile on his gave knuckles a confused look.

"What question?"

"I asked you what's wrong. You never gave me the answer" The echidna answered back. The red guardian look at sonic with concern and a very serious look. Sonic bend his ears back. He didn't want to tell him about black doom being in his dream. "Sonic,what's wrong you look like your about to cry?"

"Oh, I just had a nightmare...nothing big." Sonic said at a fast pace, happening that knuckles,can't hear him. Knuckles raised a brow.

"Are you sure it's nothing? Cause the way you are acting its like you saw your biggest fear." The older one said. Sonic,looked at knuckles.

"No, it's not that...you see it was like a little kid nightmare." Sonic answered as he rub the back of his neck."That's why I said it was nothing." Knuckles stayed silent for a while looking at the blue hedgehog. Sonic took notice of this."um...knuckle what's wrong?"

"Sonic are you telling me the truth?" The echidna asked giving the blue one be for him a cold stare.

"Y-yes." Sonic said. He started to feel uneasy underage look knuckles was giving him. Knuckles cold stare quickly fade.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Thats how I get people to tell me the truth." Knuckles said as he got up to turn off the light."Would you like to sleep in here or go back to your room?"

"Yes,I would like to sleep in here!" Sonic quickly said at a speed that knuckles couldn't understand him. The red one looked back at the small rodent with a surprised look."I mean yes, I would like to sleep,in here tonight." The blue speed demon said in a more calmer and gentle tone.

"Okay." The red said as he flip the switch, the light turned off. Knuckles climbs in bed as does sonic. Knuckles pulled the covers over him and the now blushing sonic."What's wrong, sonic?"

"Oh nothing." The blue rodent said he shifted a bit away from knuckles. Knuckles knew that one on laying next was lieing through his teeth. A cocky grin covered his,muzzle as he pulled sonic back to him. The blue hedgehog yelp from the sudden move.

"K-knuckles, what are you doing?!" Sonic said as his cheeks heated up from embarrassment. The blue hedgehog blush got even darker when he felt knuckles stomach pressed against his back, the echidna placed his head on Sonics shoulder. His hot breath hit the embarrassed hedgehog neck.

"Much better~" knuckles said in usual teasing tone. Sonic rolled,his eyes and told him to go screw him self. The echidna laugh from the stubborn hedgehog answer. "What, you not comfortable? What if I do this?" The red echidna said as he pulled sonic even closer.

"Knuckles!"Sonic yelled out as knuckles brought him closer to him. The guardian chuckled from Sonics outburst.

"Fine, I'll let go."he said as he let go of the boy. Sonic only shifted a tiny bit from knuckles. Knuckles took note of that and happy about that."Good night, sonic." The protector of the master emerald said, but he got no answer from sonic."Sonic?" The echidna shifted in the bed to look at the one next to him. He found a hedgehog who was fast asleep. knuckles smiled as he stroke sonic soft quills before he slowly drift off in to a calm and peaceful sleep.
