A/N: Back to writing this again!

After some days of observing the traffic, it seemed like time has frozen. Hmm...

I thank the ones who fav and follow this story! It's been so long since the stats have changed anyway. I'm those types who check the stats when I have free time.

When I say sweet time from the last chapter, I don't mean the scene that includes the bed and the two getting it rough and fast (okay, it's kinda the same thing). Anyways, the confrontation starts and right now. I wanted it to be serious as they pass over the stages of relationships and you know, get to know one another. Well, I thought of them getting it on at this chapter, but my mind says "Create more lemons if you don't want the real thing to happen". So I just lessened my little scenes so that I can save up some "imagination" to write it. And damn it, Nico-chan, I said no more mini lemons! 10% of the story's lemons are from her, by the way.

And after reading 'The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde' and listening to the Vocaloid song 'Jekyll and Hyde', I must say, Miku and IA-san sound very great and the artwork... I am so envious. Especially the part where they're on top of one another and they're about to kiss while smiling. Anyway, this kinda gotten me an idea.

I can't stop the madness of having to imagine the two making out while naked under the shower; it just makes me a bit giddy and the urge to write those little scenes will be there also. And if I made this entire story into a manga, I'd be like wanting to sign every book if I published it or whatever... Well, who knows when will I make it, anyway? Only time will know.

I thought of the wedding, like, "I wish this high school timeline just skipped and they got married so that I can finally rest but whaddya know? I'm still stuck writing in this timeline because my logic and sister says skipping to years where Blaze and Amy are almost adults isn't gonna help."

Well, enjoy!


Chapter 11: Reciprocation

The crack of dawn awoke and as morning shone the city, Amy laid down on the bed, feeling the need for more sleep, tucked in covers and hugging a pillow. She heard a door open, silent footsteps approaching the bedside table to put some things on it; she heard a light thud, guessing it's glass. She tried opening her eyes, yet they're accustomed to rest, feeling lethargic and unable to get used to the light of morning. Blaze gently props Amy up into a better position. On her workout outfit of a purple sports bra with black outlines, some form-fitting yoga pants, and some sneakers, with sweat glistening her for two straight hours of running on treadmills with the maximum setting on and lifting weights. Amy could see Blaze's sexy figure, wanting to touch it.

"Shh," Blaze whispered. "Go on, keep sleeping."

"Can't I just wake up at this time~?" Amy whined. She rubbed her eyes from sleep.

"Amy, you've gotten yourself more alcohol than I did," Blaze stroked her head.

"Damn... good thing you're still sober from last night..." Amy groaned, as she sat up. "What happened to Deep Blue, anyway?"

Blaze slyly smiled. "You don't need to know. What's important is that you didn't get touched. Besides, you promised me he's out of the picture... why can't he forget you and get laid with others?"

Instead of responding, Amy checked herself under the covers, finding her bedtime clothes replacing her attire from last night. Blaze exhaled and wiped some sweat building on her forehead. Thirst came in. Blaze handed the glass to Amy.

"Drink," Blaze ordered.

Amy did so, her thirst slowly satiated. Relief came, as her state is returning to normal. Blaze had a hand on Amy's forehead, still warm from all of that alcohol. Blaze took time to take her sneakers off and Amy sipping some more water. Blaze eventually changed to her usual shorts and tank top combo, despite all that sweat in her body. Amy could just enviously look at her, since she wanted that body so badly she'd even workout just to get it. At least Blaze didn't bring up a topic like Amy's weight or else the hedgehog would just chastise Blaze for that, like it's sensitive and could hurt Amy's dignity. Blaze chuckled, rousing Amy up.

"What's with it?" Amy asks.

"You admitted everything you hid from me last night, Amy Rose," Blaze smiled. "I'm relieved that right now, your secrets are out."

"W-WHAT?!" Amy was shocked, aghast. "W-What did I told you last night?! I passed out!"

"You thought I was Cream when you told me your secrets. Most of them were secrets about you secretly posting some rants in Twitter, taking a selfie while I'm asleep, or even attempting to drink. But one secret is what made me curious of you... You told me that you don't like showing her your face as a child." Blaze still chuckled. "Oh, that reminds me; let's see your album to prove it."

Amy hits Blaze with a pillow.

"Hey! Don't dare to get the album!" Amy growled. "I swear to god, I'll kill you if you saw the picture!"

"Oh, I will get it," Blaze says as she approaches a cabinet. "I managed to get all of them without a scratch at your old apartment."

"Blaze! I'll never forgive you!" Amy yelled.

"Ah, there it is!" Blaze says. She picks up a thick photo album. "Come on, Amy. Share some memories with me."

"Never!" Amy refused.

Blaze took a peek in a random page. She smiled like she saw something so cute. Amy, still in chagrin, wanted to hit Blaze hard right now, but the look on the feline's face made her smile. Blaze went to sit beside the hedgehog at the same side of the bed, finding a picture of Amy in her years as a child. Amy could feel herself sweating, nervous, since she's the only one who knows where it is, well, if her parents were alive, they'd tell Blaze about it in a meeting.

"You're so adorable, why do you deny it?" Blaze says.

"That's not the one..." Amy responded.

Blaze noticed Amy's sudden change of mood, which should probably be Amy's in the stages of crying; first, the sorrow, then the mixed reaction, and of course, sobbing while tears stream down. Blaze could hear Amy crying, hands on her face to cover it. Blaze gently pried one of Amy's hands to reveal a teared-up eye, tears flowing down like a lake cascading down. The feline had a hand on the cheek, wiping the hedgehog's tears with a thumb.

"Amy, what's the matter?" Blaze asked, concerned.

"I-It's..." Amy trailed off, unable to finish it.

She had a finger to a photo of her parents and her smiling at the camera, the landscape behind them is a glazed sunset. Blaze puts the album aside and enfolded Amy, who's crying on her shoulder, addition to patting her back. Amy couldn't stop her tears, as if she's instantly reminded that she really missed her parents. The hedgehog lessened her tears and sorrow as she could feel Blaze's touch comforting her, as it strokes and pats her back. Blaze didn't mind how many tears Amy lets out.

"My parents... I want them back..." Amy said as if she wished it with all of her heart. "I wanna be with them..."

"...Amy," Blaze coolly says. "It may be too late... the dead can longer be revived."

That worsened Amy's sorrow and she continued crying. Too blunt, have to say something else, Blaze thought. Amy was stricken with more sorrow and is upset that Blaze is on the very side of reality, as if she didn't care that Amy's parents passed away and what the hedgehog went through to move on and deal with her loss. Amy wouldn't like that type of person, who seemed to be the very side of reality that bluntly accepts the tragedy that others can't bear the pain of losing their beloved ones. Blaze broke the hug. The two made eye contact, Amy could feel the same hand on her cheek, giving her support. Blaze softly smiled, knowing how to deal with people who can't seem to forget the massive loss they had tried to bottle up their emotions to escape that sorrow. At least she found an opening to secure another lock of their relationship. Besides, Blaze wants to make sure Amy's fine and in a good mood.

"Blaze... can't you see? I can't even stop crying and now, you're making it worse for me," Amy says, upset.

"...I'm sorry," Blaze sighed. "I guess I'd been too blunt about it, Amy Rose."

Amy didn't respond.

"Look, I know how much you want them to be back, but, Amy; even though they're not walking in this world witnessing you grow and have a romantic relationship with me, you have hope and... of course, they are not dead...they're still alive..." Blaze travels a finger to cross Amy's heart. "In here... They live in you, and despite that you can't feel their presence... they're always watching you up there and making sure you don't stray away from the light, Amy Rose."

Amy ceased crying.

"You... you mean it?" She asked, feeling a bit of relief calming her down.

"Of course," Blaze's voice was real this time. "I now feel your pain, Amy Rose... And I promise you can't feel it all alone. I'm always here for you, because this is where fate and your parents wanted us to be: we're meant to be. Don't forget I'm always with you to make sure you'll never be lonely and depressed throughout your entire life..."

"Blaze..." Amy finally smiled. "It's really a very good thing I'm in love with you."

"I know, Amy Rose. I know." Blaze says.

"Well... I think that settles it..." Amy sighed in relief. "I think I feel better at listening to what you said earlier, Blaze."

"See?" Blaze smiled. "I'm glad that I know now you are accepting the tragedy. I know you had a hard time dealing on with your loss... but never despair... I'm here to be approached by you, Amy Rose."

"...Will you promise what you said?"

"I will for your own sake," Blaze firmly said.

"Thanks, Blaze," Amy embraced the feline. "I'm so glad you're warming up for me."

Silence.

"Say..." Amy broke the silence. "Since it's a free day... how about let's do something...?"

"Like what?" Blaze asks, her back down the bed.

"Well, there's this... hmm... some hiking trail me and my parents usually go," Amy says. "The weather looks good, so... why not let's go out there?"

"Alright," Blaze smiled. "I'll just get a couple of things down at the store. You'll get yourself ready."

"Sure, mind adding some snacks?"

Blaze added a nod before departing with the keys and some money. As soon as Amy heard the door close, the hedgehog marched to the bedroom to check if she still had that hiking attire that still fitted her. While carefully searching through the wardrobe, she's thinking. She hadn't seen Blaze's "dark side" yet, and wondered what it is. Maybe it's like a brutal dominatrix that mercilessly works her way to bring her victim sadistic pain and pleasure, or even the type to whip someone's butt. Whatever it is, Amy knew she can't let Blaze go on her dark side, thinking it's grim and serious. Likewise, Amy got her hiking attire and set it on the bed before she takes a quick shower and wears it. Amy could imagine if Blaze was this romantic, cold girl who can snap to being the worst person; you know, those types that flog or hit you with whips or canes you whenever you do something wrong like let yourself fail on subjects and whatnot. Amy feared for the worst would happen. But she doesn't know how will this all end... will it be the happy ending where she deserves to be happy with Blaze? Or will it be that she breaks up with Blaze? Amy knew she doesn't have anyone left that would interest her, even though there are plenty of people in the land, as many as fish in the sea. To be honest, she doesn't know what Blaze would be behind that beautiful figure.

She could hallucinate her bruises and wounds at her reflection in the mirror, as she wore her attire, one by one, and layer by layer. Amy cringed and blinked, finding herself without those marks that show her love is an abusive one.

It's like walking on a tightrope... Amy thought, If I mess up, I might anger Blaze... she wouldn't hit me, right? No, no, Blaze can't hurt me... it will be a breach of the contract... and of course, Blaze isn't immune to the rules either... There's nothing more I hate than lustful people are the ones who hurt me... I might as well stop doing stupid things and start to get real here...

Amy sighed.

Is Blaze even worth loving? Amy asks herself. Was it really gonna work out this time?

Remember, Amy... even if you met her, she's still a stranger. And what's with strangers? You don't know how they'll act, so you better make sure you keep Blaze in a good mood lest you want to get caned or whipped or whatever corporal punishment it is...

In an hour later, Blaze returned, donning her purple, dark pink, and black hiking attire. She had trouble with the traffic after she obtained the items needed for this hike and got them in her car trunk. Amy came out, bringing a soft smile to Blaze's lips. The feline embraced the hedgehog as they go down to find Blaze's Porsche complete with a roomy back to make sure all amenities are there. Well, good thing hiking doesn't involve getting drunk... Amy bluntly thought as she entered the car and sat beside the driver's side.

"Since you're the one who knows where it is, I suggest you tell me the directions," Blaze says.

"Well, do you know the nearest one that they say has the best view of the sunset?"

"Amy Rose, that's a private hiking trail," Blaze was perplexed. "How come you and your parents were there hiking, anyway?"

"...Don't you know?" Amy raised a brow. "Your mom's a friend of my mom."

"Oh, of course..." Blaze smiled. "I could've known that sooner, but alright..."

In just a twist of a key in ignition, the car rumbled back to life as she drove to the very roads where traffic is likely to be in its severe state. But Blaze isn't affected; everytime they got stuck, Blaze effortlessly finds her way out of it. But sometimes, Amy is afraid to even think Blaze speeds up about two or five kilometers in the speeding road. She could see the perfect sky and environment on the windshield. Blaze didn't even bother to turn on the radio and listen to some breaking news. There was just silence as the quiet engines of the Porsche that reduced to a silent hum as it drives smoothly on the road.

Amy yawned.

"Since the trail will be hours away, how about you get some rest and I'll wake you up when we get there?" Blaze suggested.

"Sure," Amy beamed. She laid herself back and closed her eyes.

With reality snapped away, Amy fell into a deep sleep in just seconds, much to Blaze's surprise. It turns out some alcohol is left and got her feeling a bit lethargic. Blaze smiled and picked a folded blanket to enfold Amy so that it won't be cold in the car. Now Blaze can just enjoy the silence (or at least, the sound of Amy silently snoring).

Later...

She's the cutest girl I've ever seen...

I know right? Rose, you have a fine daughter here... Look at Blaze, she's even trying to get Amy's attention!

I'd say, Blaze's beautiful too... I hope they meet soon...

"Mom?" Amy suddenly said.

The hedgehog realized she was no longer in touch with reality, she's in the very zone where her past is, in the vintage black and white. She saw the day of her early years as a child, in Blaze's mansion, and was shocked to find Blaze, a young girl, smiling and playing with the younger version of the hedgehog herself. Amy didn't even remember Blaze was actually there for her, until now. Her mother was there, conversing with Blaze's. Amy shed tears as she saw her own mother in her own eyes, not believing this a dream. It's like her memories replayed the times where Blaze is there.

Suddenly, that black and white memories turned to vibrant colored version one would expect in an HD flatscreen TV. It was no longer set in Blaze's mansion, but in the very paradise where the most beautiful of all gardens is, shone by the glorious gold sunlight. Amy traveled to find a gazebo where her mother was sitting, usually reading a book. Amy remembered this; the last thing her mother did before she died. Amy could just cry in joy and sprint to meet her mother. Blaze was right... even though Mom's dead... she's still alive in me! Amy thought. Amy's mother smiled at the hedgehog and embraced once Amy reached her. Amy could feel the warmth and the love getting back to her, as the very presence that binds her together is still there, supporting her.

"I'm so glad you're all grown up, Amy," Her mother smiled.

"I-I miss you!" Amy said while crying.

"Come now, wipe your tears and let's talk, darling."

Amy did so, hastily wiping her tears with her hands and sat beside her mother's lap. Her mother chuckled. She can't believe she reached this level where dreams are considered a reality and in her own mind. She didn't mind how long she slept, as long as she's into this dream, her sense of time and date are all gone. In reality, Blaze was taking a pit stop by refueling since she forgot to do so earlier. The feline managed to touch Amy's soft head, her eyes glint in fascination of Amy. She's cute when she's asleep... Blaze thought with a hum. I think it's best to leave her be until we get to the hiking trail.

"I know you have a lot to say to me, and I want to hear it, Amy. It's been years since we haven't seen one another... and I want to know how my daughter is doing while I'm gone."

Amy managed to tell her mother anything like the first day of school when she met Blaze as a new person, that kiss and of course... uh, what happened about them and their relationship. It ended with some laughs, some crying from Amy and some advice.

"I'm glad you met Blaze," Her mother chuckled. "I didn't even expect you gave up your own fandom... for Blaze."

"...I never knew Blaze would be this... protective of me," Amy says. "I knew she loves me... but I'm not sure if I can feel the same for her."

"Amy, it's usual for you to feel like this... but I promise you, Blaze will never do something bad to you. Even though you wanted your idol at first, he's lacking something Blaze has. Blaze will warm up over time and you'll realize you found that person."

"...But mom... didn't you think this won't work at first?"

"At first, that is. But then again... I don't question your sexuality, daughter. As long as you're contented and you have someone to love, I'm also happy too, Amy."

"I just don't know why you... were still alive in me... like Blaze said..."

"Because of your fierce belief that I still live, I'm here, in your mind, as two roles: a figment of your imagination and your guardian. I'm glad that I finally get to touch you like in the old days..."

"Say... how can I make it up to you?"

"Hm?"

"Blaze and I are going to this hiking trail you and I once hiked... What should I do so that you can be relieved?"

"Well..." Amy's mother wondered. "I want you to reciprocate your feelings to Blaze once you both reach the hill where the best place to see the sunset. I want you to kiss her for me, regardless of how many people there are."

"I will."

Amy got off from her mother's lap and the gates behind her open, revealing a bright white light, a door to very reality. Amy looked back, her mother smiling and ready to say farewell for now.

"...Will I see you again, mom?" Amy asks, crying.

"Of course, daughter. I promise I'll make myself available to you."

Amy sprinted and gave her mother a last hug before running to the doors.

-Afternoon-

"Finally, we're here," Blaze sighed, pulling her car over to a good parking spot near the hiking trail. "And on time, too..."

Amy woke up, stretching herself to keep her blood flowing and rubs her eyes off of sleepiness. She was relieved that they're now at the hiking trail, now that it's afternoon and some hours left before they find the hill that has the perfect view of the very sunset her mother told her to reciprocate her feelings and kiss Blaze. Blaze turned the engines off and helped Amy out, as they pack up and go there, finding just about 20 or 50 privileged people walking around and having a picnic. While she and Blaze walk to the start breathing the fresh, calming air of nature and its beauty of trees and forests and crystal clear lakes is the perfect place to hike, with the dirt path set so that hikers won't be likely to get lost. There were hills that differ in height.

"Oh, look, Blaze!" Amy pulled Blaze over and pointed her finger to a hill. "Let's go on that hill, that's the perfect spot for the sunset!"

"Is that so?" Blaze smiled. "I should've known that sooner... and very good, it is a perfect spot to oversee the sunset."

"Then stop standing there and let's go!" Amy beamed.

"Right."

After some walking, Blaze was alarmed of something that's on Amy's face. Even though this might be the peak of Amy's stamina, the hedgehog persists, determined to reciprocate her love. Blaze, on the other hand, kept a close eye on the hill, being the territorial type.

"Amy?"

"What is it, Blaze?"

"...Did you have nightmares earlier?" Blaze asks. "You have tears."

"A-Ah, they're nothing!" Amy wipes them with her arms. "Must've been the wind... I-I'll run to the hill!"

Amy ran.

"Amy, stop!" Blaze yelled, going after the hedgehog.

"Wait, what-"

One of Amy's foot slipped down on a pit full of wooden spikes, until Blaze caught her arm and pulled it. Amy screamed in surprise, almost getting her foot hurt because of the spikes. Amy couldn't move in panic, thinking one slight move and she's falling there, her promise broken. Blaze eventually dragged the hedgehog out of the pit, feeling suspicion that someone might've set this trap and frame Blaze herself.

"That's a close one," Blaze says. "Come on, Amy Rose. This part is considered dangerous."

"But, Blaze, if we reroute from another place, we won't reach the hill," Amy responded, trying to calm herself down.

"I know," Blaze sighed. "Anyways, why that hill's important for you to reach, Amy Rose?"

"Uh..."

Shit, don't tell Blaze about it!

"Well... it's the same hill I used to climb..." Amy answers, "I want you to feel what it's like to be up there..."

Blaze smiled.

"Then let's go now."

Eventually, they reached the hill. Amy, anxious that the sunset might appear as they climb on the hill, had a mischievous plan; she'll make Blaze chase her up there so that they won't have to boringly walk up there and oh, the sunset's gone. Hehe, there's nothing more annoying to Blaze than throwing things at her, Amy thought, chuckling as she picks up a rock that's not heavy enough to knock Blaze out or crack a bone, just the right size for Blaze to notice. After some distance, she pitched her throw at Blaze, the feline quickly reacted and was annoyed. The feline began to chase Amy, just as planned. The hedgehog laughed as she ran to reach to the top of the hill, mocking Blaze along the way.

"Amy, you will dearly pay for this as soon as I get you!" Blaze yelled from behind.

"Catch me if you can, you slow cat!" Amy mocked.

"Alright, you asked for this!" Blaze sped up.

Blaze gained in on Amy and with a leap, she caught Amy by the waist, sending the hedgehog down before the feline could follow. Amy still laughed in mirth, much to the feline's surprise. Blaze could understand why Amy did that; it was not to annoy her, but to make her go faster because the hedgehog thinks she's too slow. The two find themselves on top of the hill, and on top of one another, with Blaze on top of the hedgehog. The sunset glowed, shining its golden rays of sunlight beneath them. The two shared a hearty laugh before Amy suddenly kissed the feline. Blaze blushed hard at first, but eventually grew passive and receives it anyway (like she'd refuse at all). At their position, Amy took advantage by wrapping her arms around the feline.

After a minute, they break off for air, smiling and panting.

"Blaze... t-there's something I need to tell you," Amy says, ready to confess or reciprocate (Whichever you want).

"What is it, Amy Rose?"

"...You know, after meeting you and getting to know you for some time... I think you're really gonna fit me even though you're kinda rich and selfish. I just don't know what I'm feeling... this weird feeling is around me and the source of it is you; I can't be a better person without you to make sure I was safe and all that. Blaze... even though our mothers wanted to see us... they didn't expect us to fall in love. And of course... I think my parents owe you guys one... and of course, I wanna make sure I'm gonna make my mom proud... to be honest, I don't even mind marrying with you, Blaze. It's you and me that matters most of all..." Amy confess. "...I wanna make you the happiest person in the entire world... and you, you're happy for me, right?"

Tears fell on Amy's face. Blaze sniffled, unable to contain her happiness that turned to tears. She doesn't even have to say a thing; Amy said it; she wants Blaze too. And right now, the feline thinks, as if she's formulating a strategy to their relationship, the lock will be sealed someday, and no one can claim Amy. The hedgehog also cried and had a hand on Blaze's cheek. The two kiss again, not minding the sun's out, night dominating, darkness returns and right now, the two are just all alone. Blaze broke off, helping Amy up to her feet as they walk to the exit and back to the car. Amy felt her mission's accomplished.

-Two Weeks Later-

Two weeks flew by like a bird migrating to the other lands, and Blaze is stressed out mostly because of her two major responsibilities; her company and her role as the student council president. Even though her company managed to reach their market stocks and investments skyhigh, it doesn't say Blaze can sit back and relax, for she holds the large workforce of a hundred thousand who'll struggle for mortgage if Blaze did something. She hoped Amy doesn't get bored and then march to the building, demanding Blaze should give her some attention. She definitely doesn't want Amy to do that. Blaze yawned after her signing of contracts with that expensive gold-tipped Sheaffer and in her fancy large office, with the color of black tiles mixed in with some stones. Amy, still at the hotel room, probably emailing with Cream, was waiting for Blaze to come finish her work, which would take about eight hours to do so.

Sighing, Blaze took time to think while taking a sip of cappuccino. She had read the terms and conditions of the contract, and since she has more authority on it, she can add and remove rules. And that means... Amy Rose will not rebuke me since it will be the rules of the contract... and that also means... I can add any rule, Blaze thought with a slight smirk. Blaze knew what to do. Amy emailed Blaze.

"'I'm bored. Can't I go there?'"

"'Amy Rose, if I let you, you'll get more bored in here. There's Netflix and the minibar to keep you busy.'" Blaze replied.

"'Still, I am bored.'"

"'You can just read some books.'"

"'Pfft, I already checked those; Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, Tom Clancy... you sure are a bookworm, Blaze. Mind telling me if you got something about romance?'"

"'I suggest Elizabeth Webster's The Acorn Winter.'"

"'It's like reading someone's suffering, Blaze.'"

Blaze could just laugh at Amy's reply. It's like the hedgehog doesn't get the picture of the novel and just, you know, skips like every five seconds she didn't bother to read the back to back pages. Blaze just couldn't help at why Amy's not having good terms in literature. Blaze withdrew and had an arm cover her eyes, thinking in deep thought. When is she going to control her urges and release all of her strength and lust upon Amy on that day, when their relationship will go to the next level where it can be considered official. And there's a gate. And the key to open that gate is to lose your virginity. Blaze was frustrated at how she's going to accomplish that; there's two ways to do so; be the gentle type or the beast that will rampage on Amy on the bed. Blaze knew she can't even feel pleasure when she tried to thrust Amy with the strap on. Plus, she doesn't want Amy to risk getting STD or something like that.

Charles, Blaze thought. They were working a DNA body part change... If I just managed to get myself a member on that day, I can just take it and feel more... but no, I don't want Amy to think I'm more of a man than a girl. I can't just rely on toys to do the job... I want it hands on anyway...

Blaze blushed hard and could imagine Amy moaning, as if she's simulating what might happen. The nails that rake her back, the sweat that stains her, the lust poisoning her mind and those moans that were like cookies and cream to Blaze. And of course, Blaze often wants to be the top one. Blaze brushed this off, knowing it is too soon to think about it. Blaze turns her chair around, facing the glass that shows the very beautiful view of tall buildings and the roads with the people shrunken to ants down there. What am I going to do with Amy Rose once this contract is over? Aah, my mind... It's either we do the real thing or... should I keep pushing her away...? Blaze sighed. I'm going to be away for a couple of days to settle with some accounts and affairs... Amy Rose will be safe, right? Yes, but... who's going to keep her company, anyway? Yes, this gives me space... I cannot stay with Amy... I need to know we both need some space away...

Blaze suddenly dozed off, forgetting reality. This feeling of want, the forbidden gates will be opened at just one encounter. Blaze began to be addicted to the forbidden taste, and would satiate her uncontrollable desire. Blaze's demons began to awaken. And now Blaze herself is fighting these demons to gain control. The feline fidgeted to find a comfortable position and took her short nap.

"Master, Lady Amy has arrived." An attendant said from the outside.

"Let her in," Blaze groaned.

The door gently opened with Amy, donning one of those hot pink dresses with a white belt and matching jacket, as if she's shopping in every mall that has a Forever 21 branch. Blaze could sniff the faint scent of midnight roses, as she feels relief and presence at the same time. Blaze thought she was in a dream. Amy marched to Blaze's desk and turned the chair around to see the feline asleep, crossing arms and eyes closed. The hedgehog softly smiled and had a finger on Blaze's chin to kiss her. Blaze could sniff the scent is getting strong and near, warmth enveloping her. Fortunately, there was space between Blaze's legs, prompting Amy to sit on that space and listen closely to Blaze's calm heartbeat, holding the feline close. Amy gasped, wanting to fondle the feline. Because of the glass wall, Amy didn't do so, not wanting to be the subject of controversy or even a scandal. It'd be better if Blaze was in her underwear, Amy thought while pouting. I'd hold her as long as I want!

"Amy Rose..." Blaze drawled, "Don't hug me too tight..."

"Sorry, Miss Blaze," Amy slightly smirked. "I wanna hold you so tight you can't even struggle."

"Alright..."

Blaze's hand landed on Amy's head and the palm stroked the top. Amy affectionately purred and demanded more. Blaze's other hand fumbles on the desk for a small remote, those types that can blacken the glass walls so that Blaze can do whatever she wants without anyone from the other buildings seeing it or even the door that leads to her office. Amy snatched it and propped herself up so that her face's aligned with Blaze.

"Let's make sure no one's watching," Amy seductively whispered to Blaze.

Just one click and like ink overflowing in water, the clear glass walls turn to pitch black, as it is water more than glass. Amy dived in to kiss the feline, which the latter snakes her hands around Amy, touching her as if she is a refined sculpture. Blaze feels the insane impulse to rip the hedgehog's clothes out and get busy under the desk (know what I mean?). Amy felt Blaze's tie, as a leash, pulled the feline closer to deepen the kiss. Blaze quickly withdrew and props Amy down on the chair, her legs spread. Blaze loosened her tie and ties the hedgehog's wrists together.

"I had enough waiting for you," Blaze huffs. "And now you're driving me insane, Amy Rose."

"God, can't your drive wait?!" Amy berated. "I was still sore from last time, for god's sake!"

"You show-off," Blaze yanked Amy's head to her face. "Flaunting that body to me... what do you want? Pleasure or romance? I can get you to the highest levels and worlds of pleasure, and I can love you like you always wanted. You're acting like you want more, Amy. Shall I break the gate?"

"Hell no! If you take my damn purity at this time, I swear to fucking hell, I will kill myself!"

"You asked nicely for it; and you're refusingit?" Blaze scoffed.

"What's wrong to refuse something?!" Amy berated. "This position might be the most uncomfortable one I've ever held..."

Blaze heard a phone ring.

Sighing, she grabbed it then stepped out, leaving the poor hedgehog still bound up in the chair.


A/N: ...And here.

It seemed writer's block is going to overcome my wild imagination. While I was writing, it seemed that I wanted to put the spotlight on one word, five letters: truth. Everything might be revealed in the next chapter, including one guest reviewer's suggestion of Amy interrogating Data about why Blaze employs her.

Actually, this isn't how Roommates was supposed to be: It's supposed to be Rougamy, but then again, the sexual nature of Rouge might corrupt the innocence of Amy, so I replaced Rouge with Blaze. If this is Rougamy, the content might be rated MA, so, no one wants that to happen, not unless the story's already rated M. The concept of Roommates was simple: two girls, one rich and the other was the average girl. The two had different tastes but each time they spent together, they feel a strange feeling.

Before I could title it into Roommates, there were... other titles to begin with. Like Burning Rose, Love and Hate, and Crimson Fire. So, anyways... you know what happened to me during those times when I don't publish this story.

Until next time!
