Petal Touch

Something that was on my mind…

World: Sonic (AU, but Japanese portrayal.)

Couple: Sonamy.

Type: Kinda AU, mixtures of canon-character.

Prompt:

Getting stuck on his way through a temple run, Sonic is combatted with yet another released spirit who is trying to take revenge on the world, possessing the power to bring his loyal servants back from the beyond.

Bent on stopping this terror, Sonic journeys into the maze-like temple with his friends, but they end up get separated and have to fight different challenges with each of the evil spirit's minions.

Sonic, currently trapped by 5 spiritual servants, entrap him in a mirage of fine-living and attempt to serve him and cuddle with him on a love seat.

Completely taken aback by these lady spirits persistence, Sonic tries to escape but they kept pulling him back and keeping him seated.

"Oh? Going so soon?" "Stay~" "My! Your quills are so pointy! hehe!"

Sonic sweat drops, feeling their cold and ghostly hands rub on his arms or push him down by his shoulders, trying to massage him and keep him grounded before someone opened the door to the room he was trapped in.

He smiles nervously, his eyes shrinking, "A-Amy…"

Amy, at first, peeks through the large doors and starts to shift her eyes around the situation.

Then, her eyes are covered by a shadowy darkness, as a twinkle alerts Sonic of her rage.

Freaking out, he tries to crawl up and over the couch, but the lady spirits keep reaching for him, "Hey! Where are you going?" "Soooonic~" "Who's this girl, Sonic?" "Is she here to take you away from us?" "Aww, say it isn't so!"

"Sonic…" Amy twitches in rage, summoning her hammer, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN A HAREM!?" She starts to fling hammer's into each one of the girl's faces, actually freeing Sonic from their hold and allowing him to wiggle himself free and jump to the top of the couch's backrest.

"Amy! It's not what it looks like!"

"HYAHH!" she throws a hammer at him but he skillfully juggles his feet and dodges her attack.

"Honest! You saved me back there!"

"Zip it, Sonic! I can't believe you were letting those girl's feel you up!"

"Ack! That's not-! Amy…! Don't you believe me?"

Exiting the room with a 'hmph!', Amy walks out the door, Sonic close to her heels as he puts his hands up and together, flatted towards each other, and bows his head with a sheepish smile and a continual awkward sweat-drop.

"Honest, Amy… I'm really sorry for how it looked like, but you really did help me out back there!" He spread his arms out to then sincerely present himself as telling the truth, giving her the needed praise she may need to feel.

She continued to march ahead, swiping her head away from his faze, making him flinch back and frown.

"Amy…"

"Hmph!"

The two traveled a bit before Amy noticed him scanning the ground.

Her eyes shifted back to him, but her head remained turned away.

"What are you looking for?"

"Not looking for, finding. Ah!" He seemed to spot it and dashed over to happily pick from the grassy ruins of the temple a single flower poking up from the cracks of the ancient maze's yellow stoned ground.

He then moved back to Amy, showing her, "For you~" he charmingly tried to give it to her.

She was softened by the act but quickly hardened up before taking it coldly. "Thanks." she moved on.

He looked disappointed, but smiled and continued after her, leaning forward with his hands behind his back. "You know why I like that flower?"

"Cause it's pretty." she shifted her head away, still being rather brash to him.

He looked hurt for a moment before bending up and smiling off in a day-dreamy like a gaze. "It's because of how resilient it is. This place doesn't carry much light… and yet it grows and thrives regardless. All flowers are pretty, but that one is wilting." he looked back at the sad flower, as Amy noticed its petals were starting to fall off and were already paper-crinkly too.

"Oh no…" she slowed her pace down, having not even noticed. She carried it carefully after that and smiled to take a whiff of it's calming fragrance that helped her smile a little more.

Later, they came to a dead end, as Sonic was about to turn around, she admitted that he could run faster and check for more areas that weren't dead ends without her. She was pulling him down and told him to go off and she'll wait here.

He looked saddened by that, worriedly, he commented, "Are you sure you'll be alright?"

He looked down at how delicately she held his flower, and smiled, seeing she may have forgiven and moved on from before, so maybe she was just trying to help.

"Okay," he nodded, "I'll be back soon." He turned around, winking and giving her a signature thumbs up, before taking off down the corridor of stone walls.

Amy sighed, having kept up her smile while he was around before sliding to the floor and fiddling with her flower. She looked so gloomy… rubbing it's last remaining petals and lowering her eyelids. "All flowers are pretty... huh." she looked like she could cry, before gripping her head and swinging it up, "AMO!" (* Japanese word, kind-like saying 'Oh Geez!') She spoke loudly then, figuring Sonic was far away, and rubbing her quills while letting the flower rest in her lap. "Why can't I be pretty to you?! You wouldn't let just any girl touch you right, Sonic? Ahhh! This is making my head hurt… staying mad at you this long.. emm… or is it..?" she looked down, and lightly touched her heart.

Her shoulders fell down and she felt herself sinking away into sorrow again. "Sonic-kuu…" she spoke softly now, "Why do you notice other things are pretty… and not me?"

She picked up the flower and rubbed on eof it's petals again, pouting and sulking, "I'm a pretty flower too…" she whined.

"Oui, you shouldn't rub them like that. The oils from your hands aren't good for them."

Freaking out, her quills spiked up on end and she jumped up, hiding the flower behind her, "S-S-Sonic-kuu! You're back already?"

"Em. I uh… also heard you. Echo-y walls." he shyly rubbed the back of his head with his hand, before Amy once again turned around and cried out, having her fists up by her face.

"It can't be!" she seemed embarrassed before the walls around them started to quake.

"Amy… I- H-huh?" Sonic looked around, being cut off before something was charging them from the other side, trying to break through the opposing wall.

Freaking out more, Amy rushed with her arms out to Sonic, jumping into him. "Sonic!" she felt his arms immediately around her as he pulled her away to him, and then, after a moment of staring, the two spazzed as a metal bull broke through the wall.

"YEEEE-AHHH!" The two pulled back their faces in shocked fright before Sonic pulled her up and carried her away as the bull continued to swing it's head and charged after them.

"That doesn't look like a resurrected spirit!"

"It's got to be Eggman trying to break in!"

"Ehhh? Eggman!"

Sonic suddenly noticed a way out.. or at least… a way down.

"Hang on!"

He jumped down, Amy hollering in fear as he jumped into an abyss, but the bull halted himself and paced the long, squarish drop down. Roaring his metallic cry before waiting for them to come out.

The two took a breather, lucky that it was a hidden tunnel and not spikes at the end of their fall.

"It-it-it-it.." Sonic rubbed his bottom before Amy moved her arm away.

"Itai!" (Japanese for *ow and *It hurts!.)

"Go-gomen, Emi." (*Sorry, Amy.)

"Ohh… Where are we now?"

"Somewhere safe… for now, anyway." Sonic glared up, seeing the bull pacing and looking down at them, smoke puffing out of his nose threateningly as he paced the edge.

"Why can't you just go up there and take him down? I'll join you." Amy summoned her hammer, looking determined to succeed, but Sonic lightly placed a hand on it.

He shook his head, "I'm tired. So are you. We should get some sleep."

"Ehh? B-but the ghosts.." Amy lowered her hammer, looking worriedly at him. It wasn't like Sonic to make calculated decisions like account for his rest like this.

"It'll be okay. They can't haunt your dreams while I'm here." he winked, only playing.

Amy sighed, and moved a little away, but leaned her back against him. "Em…" she agreed, nodding, before pulling some petals off the flower still in her hands.

"…Don't you want to keep it?" Sonic peered down, not sure why she was doing that.

"It's gonna die anyway… and besides, I think the petals want to be free." she smiled, before Sonic picked one up, fiddling with it.

"Oh?" he smiled, perhaps liking that explanation.

She lowered her gaze and turned more away from him. "Sonic… Would you… Would you let anyone touch you?"

"EH!?" He froze up, almost dropping the flower petal before reaching aimlessly for it before it fell to the dirt-covered stone ground. "P-phew.. Close one." he recovered it in his hands before turning to look cautiously back at Amy, his lips pursed as if a fish, playing dumb and innocent to her oddly worded question. "Betsu ni." (*Not really) He leaned back and tried to play it off cool, looking away and rubbing his nose, before putting his arms behind his head and attempting to relax.

Amy turned with cheeks puffed in rage, and he freaked out a little bit.

"What's wrong?" he nervously asked, scooting a little away from her.

"Touch is extremely intimate! You should only let someone close to you be able too! I-I-If they're very, very special to you! Understand?" She folded her arms, scolding him it seemed before he closed his eyes and awkwardly sweatdropped.

"Amy…" he smiled lighlty.

"I mean it!" she poked his chest, and he suddenly let out a surprised 'oo' from his lips.

She stared straight at him, only faltering a moment, as she leaned her head down. "Promise me… only someone special can you touch you… okay?"

He stared at her a moment, his mouth still formed into a '0′ at her tender reproach. "Amy…"

"Promise! Promise! Promise!:" she kept jabbing her finger into his chest, making him more uncomfortable.

"Wakatta! Wakatta, Oui… Chotto-.." (*I get it! I get it! A little-…)

"Em! Good! And don't you forget it!" she launched a fist into his arm and he flinched at the pain.

"Yikes! Okay! But why'd this come up all of a sudden..?"

She looked away.

"Huh?" his eyes widened a bit again, blinking curiously. "Amy?"

"…You shouldn't want people touching you…"

"Eh? Does that mean I should want to touch people if they want to touch me?"

"Ie.. (*No…) It means that you should both want to touch the other…" she fidgetted nervously, shaking her head.

Sonic stared at her a moment.

"…Does that mean you want me to touch you?"

She burst into red. "EHHH?" she covered her face, "Where did this come from!?" She started swishing her body around, "Sonic-kuu… hey… you shouldn't mess with a young girl's heart like this…"

"..Emm… But what if I didn't want to touch you?"

She turned cold white. A chilly breeze moved right through her and made her shudder as her hands dropped from her face.

She could barely speak, just choked syllables with every flinch.

"Wha…. what does that… mean…"

"…Amy.. Do you want me to touch you?"

She freaked out again, her whole body raged with heat and she was able to swish her self around once more. "What are you saying!? What even is this conversation coming too!?"

He looked down at a petal and picked it up.

"Here…"

She panicked, but remained motionless, shaking…

He put the petal to her cheek and pushed it down with his finger. "Touch-u~" he grinned widely.

"Hehe, there? Had enough?"

"You.. you were messing with me."

"Yeah. And?"

She melted and fell to the ground. "You weren't being serious…" she chibi-cried. "You… you monster."

She turned to her back, continuing to be dramatic, "You tricked me…"

He suddenly noticed her reaction and tilted his head, "Huh? You mean, you weren't happy?"

"HOW CAN I BE SATISFIED BY YOU INDIRECTLY TOUCHING ME WITH A PETAL!?" she roared in his face.

"Em, Then… Let's do this for real." he sat properly and situated himself towards her.

"Eh? Honto deka?" (*Really?)

"Em. Honto des." (*Really.)

"Seriously?"

"Yep, let's do this."

The two stared at each other…

Amy giggled awkwardly, "You're kidding."

"No. I'm going to touch you."

Amy's face froze up again, "AHH!" she covered her red blushing face.

He suddenly rubbed her back, "There, there…"

Amy twitched.

Tails, in the distance, heard a hammer slam and quickly flew over with Knuckles to the sound. "They're down there! And there's a bull!" the two were saved and Sonic was left with a huge bump on his head.
