Sonourge: Opposites Attract

Chapter 10

Later that evening, Sonic and Scourge were getting a little bit tired, and they were about to go to bed. Sonic was about to lay down in his bed and Scourge was leaving the room.

"Scourge, where are you going?"

"I'm… going to the couch?"

"Scourge." Sonic sat up on the bed and pat it a few times. "Scourge, sit down."

Scourge simply shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the bed right next to Sonic. "What, Sonic."

"Scourge, I… don't want you to leave my side."

Scourge smiled and leaned in to give Sonic a small kiss on the lips. "Sonic, why are you saying this now? We've only been boyfriends for one day, and you make it sound like I'm just going to leave you."

"I know that, but I just had a great day with you, and I just want everyday for the rest of my life to be just like that."

Scourge brought Sonic in for a hug and said, "I will make sure that I'm always there for you on all of those days. No matter what happens, I will love you to the day we die."

Sonic broke the hug and looked into Scourge's beautiful blue eyes. Scourge did the same with Sonic's green eyes. "And besides, I want to be able to wake up everyday and see those beautiful green eyes of yours."

Sonic smiled and almost felt like he was going to start crying. He never knew that Scourge could ever be a romantic, but now that he was, Sonic was in love with him even more. "Then why don't you sleep in the same bed with me? We'll be able to wake up and see each other's eyes together."

Scourge smiled awkwardly. "But… wouldn't that be a little… uncomfortable. Like I said, we've only been dating for less than a day, and it would seem a little weird if we slept in the same bed."

"Scourge, I love you. That's not going to change in anyway between now and the end of time. It's not going to be different if we sleep in the same bed now or later." Sonic smiled as Scourge thought about it. "I want to wake up next to you every morning. It would give a good start to my day, and I'm pretty sure it would be a good start to yours."

Scourge smiled. "I guess you're right."

Sonic lay back down on the bed, and Scourge laid down right next to him. Scourge brought his hand across Sonic's back and brought him in so that Sonic's head could rest on Scourge's chest. Both of their muzzles turned a light pink as they looked at each other. They then closed their eyes, and they both slept as a true couple for the first time.

The next morning, Knuckles was up early, because he planned on going over to Angel Island with Tails to watch the Master Emerald. He was getting some things ready so that he wouldn't get bored while he watched the Master Emerald.

He gathered some books and comics that he could read and realized that there was something in Sonic's room that he wanted to take with him as well. Sonic is always borrowing Knuckles' stuff.

Knuckles headed upstairs and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, Knuckles figured that Sonic was still asleep. He twisted the doorknob slowly and opened the door. He stepped inside silently and went over to one of Sonic's desk. But before he could even get close to it, he noticed something that shocked him. He saw Sonic lying on Scourge's chest as they slept.

"I knew there was something unusual about you two," Knuckles said with a slightly loud tone.

Knuckles said that loud enough that it woke Scourge up. When Scourge slowly opened his eyes and saw Knuckles, he got slightly freaked out. He felt as if he were back on the couch when Tails caught him the other morning. He was quick to sit up and shake Sonic awake.

When Sonic woke up and saw Knuckles, he quickly said, "Uh… morning, Knuckles. It looks like it's going to be a nice day, doesn't it?" Sonic smiled and chuckled uncomfortably.

"Oh yeah, Sonic. It's going to be a nice day for sure. Now get up and meet me in the kitchen. You have some explaining to do." Knuckles then grabbed the book that he was looking for in Sonic's room and went back downstairs.

Sonic and Scourge looked over at each other in shock. Sonic laughed uncomfortably again. "Well… you said that you wanted people to find out on there own and well… he found out from me sleeping on your chest."

"Yeah… it's okay. He'll probably make fun of us for a bit, and we'll be home free."

Sonic chuckled to himself. "Oh, you don't Knuckles at all. He'll definitely make fun of us, but not for a bit. Oh… he'll make fun of us a lot."

"Well, you seem pretty excited about getting made fun of by Knuckles, so why don't you just go downstairs and talk to him, and I'll stay up here and chill."

Sonic laughed. "Over my dead body. You're coming with me whether you like it or not."

"Nope, I think I'll take my chances. You can take care of Knuc-…"

Scourge was cut off by Sonic connecting lips with him. They stayed like that for a few seconds, and Sonic finally separated from him.

Scourge smiled somewhat uncomfortably. "On second thought, I might be able to help you out with the Knuckles situation."

Sonic smiled deviously. His little 'kiss' scheme worked. "Thanks, Scourge. Let's go."

Sonic got out of the bed and reached out a hand to Scourge. Scourge grabbed the hand and got out of the bed as well. They then walked out of the bedroom and headed down the stairs to meet up with Knuckles. All the while, they are still holding each other's hands.

When they entered the kitchen, they noticed that Knuckles gave himself a face-palm. "So you guys are holding hands, too? What the heck is going on?"

"Knuckles, take it easy. Just sit down, and Scourge and I will try to soothe your temper and give you all the details."

"Fine." Knuckles sat down at the kitchen table, and Scourge and Sonic did the same.

Sonic was about to start the story, but Scourge stopped him before he could say anything. Sonic looked over to Scourge, but he reassured him that he knew what he was doing.

Scourge then said, "You know how we stayed back from the rest of the group, and I told you that I would never do anything to hurt Sonic?" Knuckles nodded. "Well, I truly meant it, and here's why."

Scourge then continued to explain every detail of what happened at the beach. All the way down to when Scourge was drowning and when Sonic saved his life. They then went to the detail of them becoming a couple, which made Knuckles go slightly pale.

"So… you two are… boyfriends? Sonic, he's only been here for a day, and you already say that you love him?"

"What can I say, I love him. I wouldn't have it any other way." Scourge turned to face Sonic and they both smiled at each other. They then shared a kiss that put Knuckles in disgust.

"Augh, stop with the kissing!" The two hedgehogs separated. "Sonic, you can't be doing this right now. Does Amy even know what's going on between the two of you?"

"Don't worry about Amy, Knuckles. We settled things at the beach, and I made sure to tell her that I don't like her like that."

"Oh, really. Then, I guess these voice mails are of some other hedgehog named Amy?"

Sonic's eyes widened slightly. "Uh… what voice mails?"

Knuckles went over to one of the nearby telephones and pressed 'Play' to start a sequence of voice mails. The machine said that there were 7 voice mails. Six of them were Amy's. The first one went like this:

"Hey Sonic! I had a good time at the beach earlier, and you should totally take me on another date sometime. I heard this new carnival is coming around soon, and I think it would be a good place we can go to if we wanted something nice and romantic."

Sonic grinned uncomfortably again. He was getting very good at it. "Well… she didn't say anything about being my girlfriend, so I am off the hook, right?"

"Your girlfriend, Amy."

Scourge slammed his right hand onto his forehead. "I swear that girl is just about as crazy as Fiona will ever be."

Knuckles sighed. "Look, Sonic. I don't really care about who you fall in love with. Even if it is with a guy like Scourge."

Scourge crossed his arms. "I'm just going to imagine that you didn't say that."

Knuckles ignored him. "But, you have to make things right with Amy so that it doesn't blow up in everyone's face. I'm afraid of nothing, but that hammer of hers has a special place in the dark side of my heart."

Sonic chuckled to himself. "Don't worry. We're all a little bit afraid of that stupid hammer of hers. It's huge and intimidating, and she has about a million of them."

Knuckles stayed serious. "Well then, don't laugh about it. Fix it."

Knuckles exited the room, leaving the two hedgehogs alone again.

Scourge smiled. "Well, that wasn't all that bad, was it?"

"Yes, but just you wait. As soon as we fix things with Amy, he's going to be back to his normal self and will let us have it."

"You make it sound like you want him to make fun of us."

Sonic smiled. "Well, it wouldn't be right of me to do something… new… without Knuckles mocking me. Where's the fun in that?"

Scourge chuckled to himself and gave Sonic a brief kiss on the lips.

"Listen, Scourge. I'm going to go on my daily walk now. I know you don't really like doing that, so you can stay here if you want to."

"No, I want to come. Who knows, it might actually be fun."

Sonic smiled. "It will be, I promise. Let's go."

The two of them went outside of the house and began their run. Sonic had to slow down, because Scourge was slower than he used to be. He didn't mind, though, and was happy to be able to want to slow down for somebody.

They ran for nearly an hour and finally ended up at a market where they could eat.

"So here's what we're going to do. We're going to eat, and we're going straight to Amy's house to end all of this. Sound good."

"It's a great plan, but I want to make a few edits." Sonic nodded in confusion. "How about we eat, then we just go home and never talk to that pink brat again."

"Nice try, Scourge. You're not getting out of this and neither am I. Now, pick a restaurant so we can eat."

Scourge looked around the vast market, and a simple little pizza parlor named "Chester's Cheddar" caught his eye. "Why don't we go over to that pizza place right over there?"

Sonic gave Scourge a funny look. "You want to go in a placed called 'Chester's Cheddar'?"

"Hey, don't bash on it until you try it, Sonic. It ought to be better than a place called 'Chester Chili'."

"Hey, I'm not that obsessed with chili dogs. Though, I hope they serve a chili dog pizza."

"Nice try, Blue. Let's go."

They entered the pizza parlor and the first thing that they instantly noticed was that Vector was in there eating a piece of pizza. Sonic went to his table, and Scourge followed closely behind him.

"Hey, Vector. What are you doing in a place like this?"

Vector stopped eating his pizza and looked up at Sonic and saw Scourge standing next to him. This made him smile. "Are you kidding, Sonic? This place is so underrated, it's really amazing."

"I would've never thought that a placed called 'Chester's Cheddar' would be actually good."

"You'd be surprised, but enough about me. Let's talk about you two."

Scourge raised an imaginary eyebrow. "What about us?"

"Espio and I were talking the other day, and he told me a thing or two."

Sonic and Scourge forced a palm onto their foreheads. Sonic said, "Vector, please just let us off easy. We've already been taunted by Knuckles, and our 'mocking' capacity is limited to one per day."

Vector laughed to himself. "Don't worry about you two. If anything, I should be the one to know that love is love, even if it between the two most unlikely people."

Sonic was slightly shocked. "Oh… wow… Vector, that was mature."

"Thanks. Why don't you order and sit with me? We have a lot to talk about."

Sonic nodded and smiled. "Alright… sounds good to me."

Sonic and Scourge then went to the counter and ordered their pizzas.
