A/N: Okay, I'm starting with a little nag here. Please, STOP sending me messages asking me when I'm going to update this story. I'll never just leave it incomplete forever; I have far too many good ideas for it to let that happen, and I do have a life besides writing, you know! Also, how come four out of six of the messages I received were from people I'd never even heard of? Messages saying, "Please update TTW, it's one of the best stories I've ever read on FF!" If it's that great, why don't you ever reveiw tellling me you love it and want to see more updates?

So, another little chapter here~ Not filler exactly, but not much solid plot, either. Don't worry, things will be getting very dramatic within the next chapter or two, I promise!


Sonic clutched his pen tightly in his hand, lowering it slowly toward the sheet of paper which lay in front of him. The answer boxes on his homework paper were all blank, and had been since Sonic miserably pulled his large pile of untouched homework out of his bag an hour and a half ago.

TailsTailsTailsTailsTailsTailsTails...

"Ugh!" Sonic yelled in frustration, slamming his head onto the desk. He clenched his fists at the same time, causing the plastic case of his pen to crack, the sharp edges of broken material scratching his skin. Tails had been the one single thing on his mind since lunchtime.

Why I am I always such a jerk? Sonic thought to himself, full to the brim with hot rage and self-loathing. Tails had been really upset over what had happened with his mother, yet Sonic had been more pathetic than sympathetic. He knew for a fact Tails didn't want to see him. The fox hadn't said a single word to his 'best friend' since calling him unbelievable. All through afternoon classes, he'd sat with his back turned stubbornly toward the hedgehog, concentrating fiercely on his work, though Sonic could see it was an effort for him to not glance briefly at Sonic.

When it was time to begin the walk home, Tails hurried swiftly ahead, walking at a slightly quicker pace than Sonic and Shadow. Shadow, of course, found this a brilliant opportunity to stick his nose where it wasn't wanted, and made the most of his short time alone with Sonic by sneering at the two's failing friendship. Sonic refused to let himself get infuriated by Shadow, of all people.

Tails is just a little upset, he told himself sternly. By tomorrow, this whole thing would've blown over, and we'll be back to normal again

By the time Shadow had disappeared down his own street, Tails was already hurrying up his garden path and into his house, slamming the door behind him dramatically.

Sonic had retreated to his own house to take his mind off the whole thing with homework. Except, of course, it hadn't worked. Sighing, the teenage hedgehog rose from his chair. He still doubted whether or not going to see Tails was a good idea; after all, the fox was already angry enough without Sonic interfering and screwing things up even more. On the other hand, things weren't going to sort themselves out.

Within minutes, Sonic's legs were being controlled by the overwhelming sense that he must see Tails, and he was rapping lightly on the fox's front door with his knuckle. His knock was answered by Tails' mother, who invited him in and called up to her son to tell him Sonic was here to see him. Tails didn't reply.

"I haven't heard a thing from him all afternoon," the fox's mother told Sonic with a sigh. "He's so quiet nowadays..." Sonic mumbled something in agreement and hurried upstairs before he could be asked once again if he happened to know what was troubling Tails. Taking a short moment to compose himself, Sonic breathed in deeply and knocked on Tails' bedroom door. There was no reply. Sonic knocked again, a little louder. Still nothing.

"Tails?"

He began to panic, immediately thinking the worst. Shoving the door open, Sonic leapt into the room, heart thudding. He immediately relaxed, breathing out in relief, when he spotted Tails hunched into a ball on his bed, his back turned towards the door.

Sonic shut the door and leant against it, burying his hands deep in the pockets of his jeans. He cleared his throat awkwardly as his eyes flicked in the direction of Tails' bed.

"Tails..." The hedgehog started, swallowing as Tails sighed lightly, yet refused to answer him. "I... I don't blame you for not wanting to talk to me. I'm such a jerk and I'm sorry."

Tails sniffed, tugging the bedsheets between his fingers. Sonic stepped a little closer to the bed, one hand automatically reaching toward the fox. His arm froze and he drew it back into his side slowly, his shoulders collapsing in a compressed sigh.

"I'm sorry," he whispered for a final time, pausing in the hope of any response. "I should go..."

"Sonic," Tails said a little urgently, sitting upright in his bed. Sonic immediately turned around.

"Yeah?"

"Um..." Tails directed his eyes away from Sonic, awkwardly clutching his hands together. He knew he should tell his secret lover what he wanted to say, but he was unsure of how the hedgehog would react. If he was thinking the exact opposite, Tails would be completely humiliated and wouldn't know what to say or do. If, however, Sonic was thinking the same thing, then... well, Tails wasn't sure whether that would be a good thing or not.

"Tails?" Sonic sat down beside him on the bed, draping an arm around the fox's neck briefly. "What's wrong?"

"Uh, well... I was, thinking, and um..." Tails stopped short as Sonic's lips crushed his own, one arm sliding tighter around his neck, the hand of the other gliding lovingly through the golden fur on the back of his head. A mumble buzzed in Tails' throat as he struggled to decide where to rest his hands. His rigid arms softened around Sonic's back as he relaxed his previously tensed shoulders and allowed himself to be kissed. Sonic held the fox firmly but carefully, as if worried he may shatter if grasped too carelessly. He tried to keep his kisses light and soft, but they slowly became more rough, more desperate. And then Sonic held Tails too tightly, his hand wandering were it wasn't welcome, and the fox gasped, jerking himself away from his eager lover too harshly. Sonic's green eyes bore into blue ones, hurt, offended. Tails struggled to regain his breath, flattening the front of his shirt which Sonic's roaming hands had crumpled unwillingly.

"I... I'm sorry, Tails. I didn't mean... sorry..."

Tails wrung a tail between his hands, unsure what to reply with. He had completely forgotten, until now, what it was he had wanted Sonic to know. Now, he wasn't sure if telling him would be safe or not.

"Sonic," he said again, the words he needed to utter screaming in his head, "I want... I, uh, wanted to tell you, that is, that um..." Sonic's full attention was on the kit's words, while one hand subconsciously buried itself in thick tail-fur.

"Yeah?"

Tails' shoulders collapsed uselessly. "Nothing. I just... invited Marine over and I wish I hadn't. That's all."

Sonic grinned uncertainly. "Is that so bad?" Tails shook his head, blushing sheepishly at the stupidity of his sudden excuse. "Don't worry," Sonic chuckled lightly, leaning towards his best friend for another kiss, mentally promising to concentrate on keeping his hands under control.

You should have told him! Tails' mind scolded, you have to tell him at some time. Tails agreed weakly, unable to keep full attention on Sonic's loving actions. And, when the hedgehog had left that night, Tails crawled into bed with the thought nagging him into sleep.

He wanted to have sex with Sonic.


A/N: So, I know Tails wouldn't really know how they'd do it or anything, seeing as they're the first gay couple in exsistence, but I think he'd mean like, contact or touching or whatever O_O Anyway, reveiws, plz~
