Sonic sighed heavily as he ran his fingers through his poofy quills. Did she regret last night and left in shame? As the cobalt hero freshened up, he heard his phone buzz.
He looked and saw a message from Minerva;
"Sorry for leaving you last night, I had
Never been this intimate with someone. I hope you can understand that."
Sonic stared at his phone blankly. He was Minerva's first.. He ran his hand through his quills. He felt a little bad, had he known he was her first, he probably would've waited for a more better opportunity to be with her rather than just plain drunk sex.
He sent her a quick text before putting on his shoes, he was about to go on his regular morning jog. With a quick stretch, he ran out his door.

Minerva was in an alleyway, cigarette in hand, surrounding her was a mess of broken bottles, this was something she did often. She'd find any glass bottle and throw them to the ground to release any anger she had brewing.
She sighed as she burned out her cigarette. She stared at her phone with hard eyes. She felt a bunch of memories flood back the more she stared.
'Forever right?'
'Forever.. I'll take good care of you and make you the happiest woman alive haha!'
She grit her teeth as she gripped her phone tightly.
'You piece of shit.. I shouldn't have let my guard down..'
Minerva pocketed her phone and walked out of her spot, she walked down the street as she had her head hung low.
'You're workin late again? But it's our fifth anniversary!'
'I know I know, I'm sorry babe I promise to make it up to you tomorrow!'...
Minerva felt her teeth clench tightly.
'Hello? This is Minerva I'm lookin for … I was wonderin if he was still there?'...
'W-what? He.. He never had a late shift..? Thank you. Goodbye.'...
'WHO IS SHE?!'
'B-Babe! It's not what it looks like!'
'I SAW YOU MAKIN OUT WITH HER! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! YOU PROMISED ME FOREVER! WAS EVERYTHIN YOU SAID A LIE!?'
'...'
'I HATE YOU!'
Minerva didn't realize hot tears were making their way down her cheeks. She put a hand to her chest as she felt pain in her heart.
'You lied to me.. Yet I can't let go of you..'
She let out a heavy sigh. She had promised herself to never involve herself with anyone again but.. When she met Sonic and heard his story, she felt a strange connection towards him. There was something about the blue blur that made her feel.. Relaxed.
As she walked down the road, she noticed Sonic by a chilli dog stand. She slowly approached him.
"Hey.." She greeted.
Sonic jumped for a second and looked back. "Oh hey Minerva. What's up?"
"Not much, just.. Walkin about. You?"
"I'm on my morning jog."
There was an awkward silence between them.
"Listen, Minerva.. About last night-"
"It's fine, as weird as it sounds.. I'm kinda glad I was with someone I truly felt connected with." She admitted.
Sonic felt his face go red as he was struck silent. Minerva began walking away.
"I'll see ya around blue."
Sonic watched her leave with a small smile.

Minerva flopped on her bed and stared at the ceiling. She felt her heart pound with delight at the thought of the blue blur. It made her frown.
'I can't fall for him.. He could be using me..'
She laid on her side. With a faraway look in her eyes.
'Minerva..'
'What are you doin here!?'
'I just want to apologize! I feel terrible about what happened! I wake up everyday feeling nothing but regret! Please give me another chance!'
'...This is your last chance..'
'T..thank you! I promise I'll make it all up to you!'
Minerva lowered her eyes in sadness.
'I thought you changed.. I was wrong..'
'Do you actually love me..?'
'Of course i do Minerva! I love everything about you.. You are the light of my life.'
'You lied to me over and over again..'
Minerva gripped her blankets tightly.
'...You lied to me..'
'M-Minerva! She's just a friend honest!'
'YOU WERE JUST GROPIN HER! YOU LIED TO ME! YOU PROMISED TO BE FAITHFUL TO ME! WHY!? WHY WHY WHY WHY?!'
'Minerva.. -'
'GET OUT! GET OUT AND NEVER COME BACK! I HATE YOU!'
Minerva shoved her face into her pillow and cried out. Her
Heart clenched tightly in agony.
'I hate you..yet I love you..'...
