Fighting with Tails

(*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************)

Tails never saw Sonic coming. But then he rarely did when Sonic ran at him full speed. In fact he barely had time to make out the blue blur heading for him after busting his loft door open. The only thing he knew was that one second he was turning to see what had caused his door to bang open. And the next a fist connected with the underside of his chin, snapping his head back on his neck as his mind finally registered- Ah, there's Sonic.

He staggered back away from the blue blur and gnashed his teeth in frustration before popping his neck and lowering his head so that he was looking at his friend.

Sonic's expression was one that he'd never seen before. The expression he often wore when staring down Eggman. It was dark and menacing as Sonic fisted his hand and popped his knuckles. "Ah, that feels better." Sonic said in a low growling tone as he glared at Tails.

The two circled each other for a moment, each one knowing that they were going to have a little go around. Sonic was pissed because he felt that Tails had overstepped his bounds. And Tails felt that Sonic was being an idiot but if he wanted to fight then the little fox would oblige him. "What the hell did you think you were doing laying your hands on Chris?"

"I thought that someone should see if she was compatible with our kind. What are you doing here?"

Sonic gave him a sadistic smile. "I came here to beat the hell out of you."

"You didn't stay with Chris." Tails said curiously. Wondering just how stupid his friend was. When a gal like Chris was giving off pheromones like mad, you didn't leave her. You stayed and took care of your business. Then if she wanted you to leave- you left. Duh.

Sonic's expression darkened even more and he growled warningly, his temper about to make a sudden and nasty appearance that could cause Tails to lose a few teeth and possibly a large amount of blood and fur. "What I do or do not do with Chris is no concern of yours whelp." Sonic hissed from between clenched teeth as he jabbed at Tails with one fist to distract him so that he could nail him with the other.

Tails anticipated the move though and the second his fist was about a scant inch form his face, wrapped one of his two tails around Sonic's wrists and used it to jerk Sonic off balance and nail him in the stomach with his knee forcing the air from Sonic's lungs a second before he bared his teeth and jumped on him alternating between biting, pulling his fur and punching him where ever he could while Tails did the same.

"Fucker! I could cheerfully murder you for what you did!" Sonic growled as Tails grabbed him and flipped him so that he could get on top of him and straddled his chest and hissed.

"Dumbass bastard. I was trying to help."

"If I needed your help I'd ask for it shit for brains!" Sonic spat as he lifted his legs and wrapped them around Tails neck and pulled him back without completely removing him. Tails made a choking sound and dug his claws into Sonic's stomach causing the hedgehog to snarl something rude about Tails's mother as his skin split open and blood seeped out of the wounds. And Tails thrashed around for a second before wrapping his tails around Sonic'sthroat and started to squeeze in the hoped that Sonic would pass out so he could escape.

Don't get him wrong, Tails wasn't scared of Sonic even when he was at his throat. But he knew that he was outclassed this time and would need to put some distance between them before Sonic wound up accidentally killing him.

Which in turn would kill Sonic due to the guilt he would feel.

Sonic bucked under him and snapped at him with his fangs while trying to pull his tails from his neck before he seemed to settle down and let his legs drop away from Tails's neck. Tails coughed a few times and rubbed his bruised throat and just sat there for a moment breathing before punching him in the shoulder and growling.

"Moron..." Before continuing between pants. "I wasn't trying to hurt Chris or you. I didn't want you jumping into the unknown with both feet without knowing if Chris was compatible. God knows that if you wound up hurting her, you'd suffer more than you've ever suffered before... You would long for death." Tails flattened his ears back against his head, his tails slipping from around Sonic's throat to thrash around behind him in agitation.

Sonic lay perfectly still under him and just stared at him. Part of him knowing that Tails was telling the truth. He hadn't been trying to hurt him or Chris. But it still bothered him deeply that he'd laid his hands on her. He felt like Tails was trying to secretly steal her from him before he even had the chance to make his feelings known.

It wasn't a pleasant thought. In fact it pissed him off greatly. But if Tails said that he wasn't trying to cause harm then Sonic was inclined to believe him whether he was feeling rational or not. "Why did you leave her?" Tails asked all of a sudden, startling Sonic slightly with his question.

"She was giving off pheromones... God she smelled so sweet."

Tails gave him a small wary smile. "She did, didn't she?"

Sonic took one last swipe at him for smelling Chris's scent as Tails moved off and away from him, chuckling before Sonic said somberly. "I wasn't sure if I'd be able to hold back. Her scent was so strong that it was overwhelming my senses."

"So you ran."

"So what if I did?"

"You should have stayed." Tails said in a chidding tone as Sonic pushed himself upright.

"I know but I just-"

"Wanted to escape? Beat my skull against something until it cracked open?" Sonic shrugged. It was difficult to talk to Tails about matters such as mating due to his age.

But that didn't really matter now since Sonic had probably missed his window of opportunity with Chris anyways. "You're not going to start moping around now are you?" Tails asked Sonic in an aghast tone. Sonic flushed and looked away, suddenly feeling awkward as Tails sighed and put one hand on his shoulder and used it to help himself up as he said.

"You know, Chris might still be-" Sonic turned his head and gave the fox a mean look. Oh he so did not want to go there with him right now. Tails cringed a little bit and patted Sonic on the back. "Why don't you go see? It couldn't hurt anything." Sonic nodded and got up, winching slightly at the sharp aches and pains in his body where Tails had gotten him.

He'd have to start being smarter about picking fights with the fox since he was starting to get the impression that he was a sadist.
