Tag 38 - Sonic the Matchmaker
Title: Sonic Swear
Truth be told, Sonic still kind of liked her.
He wouldn't have spent so much time with her if he didn't. Sure, he said that it was because she was a friend – and he made sure to emphasize that – but there was a reason he felt himself more drawn to Breezie than Junior. He didn't want to like her – she was a robot – but he did. He couldn't help it.
But . . . he had to help it. He'd promised Tails.
While Breezie went on about how much of a hero he was, Sonic stole a glance over at Tails and Junior. His hearing had never been as good as his sight, but it didn't need to be. Sonic's sight was good enough to let him read Tails' lips, and he could see everything the young fox was saying. He was assuring Junior that Sonic only thought of Breezie as a friend. He felt positive about this – positively good. Tails had taken the Sonic Swear to heart, and he wasn't going to let go of it any time soon.
Well, good. He didn't have to. There was no way anything was going to happen with Breezie. No way, no how—
"Oh, Sonic!" Breezie threw herself onto him, and Sonic nearly collapsed under the sudden weight. "It just pains me to think we could be separated again! You wouldn't ever leave me, would you?"
"Sorry, Breezie." Sonic gently pushed her off, and tried not to feel the tugs on his heart when faced with her pouting lip and sullen eyes. "It just can't work out between us. Too many things stand in the way. You're a robot, I'm not, and on top of that, I've got—"
"A real flair for poetry," Breezie purred, stroking a hand along his cheek. Sonic took in a deep breath, and then released it.
Oh boy. This was going to be one tough promise to keep . . .
