I was sitting on the hill behind my house. It was breezy day, but it was nice. I dipped my head back and closed my eyes. There was so much going on; Graduation in a week, the wedding the day after that, and joining the resistance. I felt something warm on my face. I opened my eyes and saw chocolate ones staring at me. I jumped back. "Cream, what's wrong and why are you hovering over my face like a stalker?"
"Oh, Sorry. I just wanted to make sure you were alive. Why are you sitting all alone?" She sat next to me on the grass. "Something bothering you?"
"Well, just…Life been pretty hectic." I shrugged.
"I know how that feels." She rolled her eyes. "I just found out Vector's been in the kitchen with mommy." I looked at her bug eyed. Her mom had a boyfriend?
"I'm guessing you're not very happy."
"See, that's where I don't know. I mean," She put her arms around her knees. "I'm happy for my mom, but she's replacing my dad."
"Cream," I picked up a few flowers and started fiddling with them. "Just because you're mom's dating doesn't mean she's replacing him. She still loves him so much, and I don't even have to ask her to know that." I gave her the flower bracelet I accidently made. She slipped it on and hugged me.
"Thanks, Sonic." She got up and started walking. She turned around. "And you know, I always thought of you as a brother." That was probably the sweetest thing anybody ever told me. I sighed.
I decided to go into the forest to clear my head. I inspected every branch as if it was part of a scavenger hunt. Then I saw one that I couldn't help but smile at.
I saw Amy carving into a tree at Cream's tenth birthday. I walked up to her and tapped he shoulder, which made her jump back. "What the heck, Sonic?" Heck, she was so funny trying to be all kid like.
"What the hell are you doing to that tree?" I tried to move her gloved hands, but she poked me with the stick. OW! I rubbed my hand.
"Nothing you need to see! Cream is about to blow out the candles, let's go. " She started walking to the picnic table, but I stayed and looked. Amy+ She never finished it. It was surrounded by a heart. If I asked her who it was, she would hit me with that hammer. Thanks Tails for getting her that.
I walked around the tree, and then saw something else that didn't make me smile. It was another heart, but it was a different girl's: Sally +Sonic. I remembered that day too. It was 2 years ago.
"Oh, Sonic," Sally taunted. "I have a present for you." I walked over and wrapped my arms around her. She had a bow on her head since it was my 15th birthday. She started kissing me. I brushed my fingers through her hair. She pulled away for air.
"Hold on, I want to remember today." She picked up a carving stick and started writing in the tree. I put my head on her shoulder and kissed her neck. When she finished writing, I looked at the heart with our names in it. For some reason then, I didn't like it there.
I shook my head to try and get rid of the thoughts. I picked up a stick and started scratching out the heart and finished Amy's. Speaking of Amy, I heard footsteps behind me.
"Hey, handsome. What are you…?" She looked at what I did. "You remembered. You hated me then. Now I have a ring on my finger." She kissed my shoulder with her warm lips. I turned around to see her face. I gently caressed her cheek that was pumping blood beneath her skin. She must have been running before she came here. She was wearing a jogging suit similar to the one Cream was wearing, only blue.
"Is something wrong?" She knocked me out of my daze. Her eyes were sparkling like emerald pools. Not thinking I kissed her passionately. She was pretty shocked, but invited me in soon after. For 30 seconds, we just stood there, kissing.
"Wow, that was surprising. What for?" She pushed me onto the ground, which was covered in green leaves. "What do you have up your sleeve?" She traced her finger along my shirt. I rolled around so she was underneath me.
"What, I can't kiss my fiancée and not be questioned." She chuckled and I kissed her again. I felt her arms near the waistline of my jeans. I quickly pulled away and stood up. She followed. I started walking towards my house.
"Sonic, what's wrong?" She then stopped to think for a second. "Sonic, I'm sorry, I didn't," I stopped her by turning around to face her.
"It's not you. It's just…" I put my face in my hands. "It's just, I can't. I won't. Not until you know." She nodded. "I have to go home and meet Tails. I'll see you at graduation tomorrow." I kissed her forehead and walked off.
