A/N: This was written for Takhrenixe. (Hope you understand, girl! Love you!) This is SatAM, I think; maybe after Uncle Chuck goes bad again in one of the early eps?

Disclaimer: The drabble title is something of a word-play on the song called, "Her Diamonds," by Rob Thomas.


Drabble 28: "His Diamonds"

Sonic wants to cry.

Oh, he does, but he doesn't want to look weak…

Not in front of him

But small, loving, glove-covered hands cup both sides of his face, clumsily brush the tears from his quivering cheeks, and the hedgehog's wet lashes part to reveal the sympathetic face of a little fox.

"You can cry, Sonic. I don't mind."

Words as these are forever heartfelt.

The hedgehog cries, taking the kit in his arms and holding him with all of his might.

Because he's already lost too many to this war, and he can't bear to lose anyone else.


A/N: Thanks for reading!
