Blaze stared at the ruby necklace Sonic was holding.
"Sonic, it's beautiful!" She exclaimed.
"Now you can see why Rouge wanted it so much." Sonic said with a chuckle. He took it out of the box and held it up to his girlfriend. "I wasn't going to cheat on you and I never was cheating on her with you." He put the necklace on her. "Happy early six-month anniversary."
Blaze placed her hand over the red stone and smiled. She reached out to give the hedgehog a hug and he took the hug offer. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Sonic held the hug a little bit longer and released when Blaze wanted to let go.
Blaze put her hands in her lap. "I'm so sorry."
Sonic held his hands up. "Hey, it's not the first time a girl has yelled at me, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last. I'm tough." He puffed out his chest to show his toughness. "And I'm also sure you're going to be yelling at me in a few weeks."
Blaze blushed hard. "Sonic! You don't talk about that with a girl!" She quickly looked over at the guards who were still at her door and shooed them away. They left just as quickly. Soon Sonic and Blaze were alone.
"So, what do you want to do?" The hedgehog asked.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Came an angry voice from the hall. It was the King.
"Something tells me I'm not wanted here." Sonic said with a sigh.
The angry tomcat marched into his daughter's bedroom, when he saw Sonic the look on his face said it all.
"Sonic what are you doing here after playing with my daughter's heart?" He demanded an answer.
"Your Highness it was all a mistake. I swear."
"Dad, please, it's okay!" Blaze got off her bed and tried to block her dad from coming into her room. This just made him even angrier.
"This is okay? Blaze you told me he-"
"Dad, Sonic explained everything."
Aaron looked at Sonic with a confused look on his face. "What?" He asked.
Flame's voice could be heard coming closer. "Aaron why are you yelling?" She appeared by her husband in the doorway.
"Mom, Sonic came back and told me everything!" Blaze stopped blocking the doorway.
"He's here?" The queen asked.
"Yes." Blaze moved to show Sonic sitting on her bed. He waved.
"I've been trying to tell you too that Sonic explained everything that happened earlier today." Blaze smiled a bit at her parents. "He wasn't cheating."
"He wasn't?" Flame leaned on the door frame.
"No." Blaze shook her head.
"That's great!" Flame wrapped Blaze in a hug and she hugged back. Blaze let go of her mom. Sonic got off her bed.
"I give you my word your Highness. I won't do anything to hurt her."
Flame smiled and hugged him too. "You're a good person Sonic. I'm glad my Blaze found you."
Sonic didn't hug back but still let the mother cat hug him. "Thank you. I really try to be."
Flame released him from the hug and stepped back. "You two are a super cute couple." Blaze put her hands over her face at the comment.
Aaron stepped forward. "I'm sorry for yelling at you Sonic. I just want to protect my little kitten." Blaze pushed her face into her hands more.
Sonic smirked. "It's okay, you don't really know me yet, I mean, know the true me." He laughed. "Ha ha, you're in for a whole lot."
The king nodded. "I'll take note of that, just don't drag Blaze into trouble." His expression turned dark. "I mean it."
Sonic felt a sharp chill run through his body. "I won't sir." He jerked at the uncontrollable shiver he was having.
"Dad stop it!" Blaze told her dad. She started to punch him in the arm. "You're scaring him."
Sonic cocked his head. "Me? Scared? No way!" He tried to get the goosebumps on his arms to go away. "I'm never scared!"
"Oh really?" King Aaron gave a dark chuckle before leaving, but he poked his head back in the doorway. "Don't try anything on her either. I'm watching you." He started down the hall again.
Flame watched her husband walk back down the hall. She looked at the two teenagers. "Oh, don't mind him. He's just trying to be intimidating." She ruffled her daughter's hair. "Play nice." She left after that.
Blaze breathed outwards and shut her door.
"Keep that door open Blaze!"
Blaze sighed. "Yes Dad!"
Blaze walked to her bed and got on top of it. "I'm sorry about my dad. He's really protective and he thinks he's scary."
Sonic nodded. "It's okay, I can see why he's doing this. He kinda reminded me of Shadow when he did that. He thinks he's scary too."
The lilac cat laughed. "Oh really?"
Sonic nodded. "Yep."
Blaze looked down at her necklace. "Thank you again for the necklace."
"No problem…Okay maybe a little bit of a problem." Sonic laughed uncomfortably. He sat there looking at her for a moment before a realization hit the cat.
"Oh my God." Blaze shook her head. "No!"
"What?" Sonic asked in concern.
Blaze raised her head. "I just realized that the media is going to be all over us soon because we're a couple, and I'm royalty."
"Oh right…" Sonic replied. "The media gets all over me sometimes too. It's annoying."
"Are you sure you can handle it? It is a lot."
"Sure, I think I can." That's what Sonic said on the outside, but on the inside he wasn't so sure.
