I've just covered SonSal, and I know there are dozens of other Sonic couples out there that need to be covered. So this one is for all of you. Enjoy.
"IN WHOSE EYES?"
A Sonic Couples Drabble

"In Your Eyes," lyrics by Peter Gabriel
.
It was a quiet and peaceful afternoon in Green Hill Zone, the perfect setting for Sonic to do some guitar practice.
He chose an open spot in the forest, where he was certain to be alone for a while. There weren't even any birds chirping, it was so secluded. And so, he sat down, his back up against a pine tree, and tuned his guitar. Once he was settled, he began to play…
"Love…
I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass,
And this emptiness fills my heart.
I drive off in my car,
But whichever I may go,
I come back,
To the place you are.
"All my instincts, they return.
And the grand façade, so soon will burn.
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside.
"Oh-oh-oh,
Oh-oh-oh.
"In your eyes, the light the heat.
In your eyes, I am complete.
In your eyes, I see the doorway-
In your eyes- to a thousand churches-
Your eyes, the resolution-
Your eyes, of all the fruitless searches.
Oh, I see the light and the heat.
Oh, I want to be that complete.
I wanna touch the light, the heat
I see in your eyes… In your eyes…"
But the blue hedgehog was not alone, as it turned out. This was a place for many a Mobian to claim sanctuary from their daily dramas- most of all the princess Sally. She was the first to catch the sound of the guitar strings strum, and that familiar warm voice singing in the air. Instinctively, she followed it until it brought her to where her singer was.
Amused and curious, she watched from behind a tree as Sonic continued to play, still thinking he was alone.
"Love,
I don't like to see so much pain.
So much wasted,
And this moment keeps slipping away…"
Mina Mongoose rose up from the brush to find out where the beautiful music was coming from, and joined Sally as they both admired Sonic's music in secret.
"I get so tired of working so hard for our survival,
I took the time with you, to keep me awake and alive."
Amy Rose was the first to come out in the open, and took a seat on a fallen log near Sonic. Still his eyes were closed shut, and so he took no notice of her. But that was fine by her, because all she wanted at that moment was to hear him play.
She was soon joined by Sally and Mina, each sitting on the log in quiet admiration. But almost instantly following them were Blaze the Cat, Shade the Echidna, and human/hybrids Sara (of Sonic OVA) and Elise (of Sonic '06).
Blaze lit a torch from her finger, reminiscent of a fan's cigarette lighter at a rock concert.
And still, the hedgehog played on.
"And all my instincts, they return.
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside!
"Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh…
In your eyes"
"Your eyes!" all the girls chimed in, startling their singer but only for a moment.
Sonic, realizing he now had an audience, gave them a smile. "The light, the heat."
"In your eyes."They chanted along…
"I am complete."
"In your eyes."
"I see the doorway."
"In your eyes."
"To a thousand churches."
"In your eyes."
"The resolution…"
"In your eyes."
"…of all the fruitless searches."
"In your eyes."
"Oh, I see the light and the heat."
"In your eyes."
"Oh, I wanna be that complete."
"In your eyes."
"I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes…
In your eyes…"
"Thanks, girls." He winked, as they- his biggest fans- applauded.
