A/N: This takes place before the Movie/OVA, when Sonic and Tails have just settled in on South Island and Knuckles (my preferred, Movie/OVA version! Yay!) drops in for a visit.
Drabble 36: "Sacrifice"
"I don't get it, Sonic. Of all the places on Planet Freedom, you choose to live on an island…surrounded by water…?"
But Sonic's face is naught but calm as he watches Tails play near the shoreline.
"When you love someone, Knux," the hedgehog explains softly, "you make sacrifices for them." He turns to the echidna, his expression ever-loving as he speaks of his little brother. "And if this is what makes Tails happy, then I'll gladly live with it."
Knuckles can only stare as Sonic looks away, though the surprised expression falls to a smirk soon enough.
"Whatever you say."
A/N: Thanks for reading! (Did you check the revised version of the last chapter?)
