Sonic had been walking down the street for awhile now. Miles's house had been quite a length away. From Sonic's house to Miles's house probably took about 10 minutes to get there. But, Sonic made it in a nick of time, after all. Super speed.
Sonic brushed his quills back and knocked on the door. Sonic had heard footsteps coming closer to the door as it opened.
"Hello?"
Said Sonic with a confused face. The fox that had answered the door looked, different. He had longer hair, a growing moustache, and blacker lines around his eyes.
"Sonic?, what are you doing here?, it's 9 AM!"
Said the fox in a deep and scratchy voice. The fox looked at Sonic and smiled.
"Wait-wait-wait... MILES?"
Shouted Sonic, he hadn't seen Miles in quite some time, maybe about a month. Sonic thought about Miles for a moment. He remembered when he was young. A scratchy toned, smart fox. Now, he looks like a grown man.
"It's been awhile, I know. Puberty hit me kind of hard."
Chuckled Miles as he grabbed Sonic's shoulder and lead him inside. Miles's house was big, filled with papers and tools. Heck, he even had parts of the Tornado on his kitchen table. Miles had sat down on his sofa and Sonic sat down with him. Sonic then began to speak.
"So, Miles. How's it been for you?"
Asked Sonic as he looked to his brother. Miles's emotion had changed drastically, as a matter of fact. Miles looked like he was ready to cry. Sonic looked at Tails with a confused daze and looked him in the eyes.
"I- Sonic?, will we always be brothers?"
Asked Miles as he fidgeted with his thumbs and looked to Sonic.
"Of course we will always be brothers Miles. I met you when I was 10, you were only 3. We've known each other for 12 years."
Sonic smiled and looked Miles in the eyes again. Miles teared up a bit but hid his face quickly. Sonic got up and went over to the kitchen, he grabbed a cup and filled it with water. He then walked back over to Miles and handed it to him. Sonic then sat back down and patted Miles's back, the water had spilled a bit onto Miles's jeans when Sonic patted him. Miles swatted Sonic's hand away and smiled lightly.
"Come on man, it's gonna be ok. Nothing will ever happen to me nor you that will ever destroy our bond together. Like I already said, we've known each other since childhood. Yes we've had our ups and downs, and even though we haven't talked in awhile and that worries you. Nothing will break our bond. I promise Miles."
Said Sonic comfortingly as he looked to Miles. Miles was wiping his eyes a bit and nodded his head. Sonic knew that Miles was still a bit soft centred and he respected that. Even as an adult. Miles had always been the one to worry, and plus. A teenage male who is still partially going through puberty always alone. Sonic knew how that felt and he hated seeing his brother alone. So, that's why he came to visit.
"Miles, I know you're alone and things aren't well for you right now."
Said Sonic in a soft tone
"H-how do you know?"
"Miles, I'm your brother. I know when things aren't right for you. It's like a mother's sense. But, with a brother. Plus, you're never on social media anymore and your lights are always off in your house."
Miles looked away from Sonic and sighed.
"What happened to the little energetic eight year old I used to know eh?"
Said Sonic as he shoved Miles's shoulder tauntingly. But Miles wasn't really in a good mood right now. His feelings had been stuck inside him for weeks, and he had nobody to share his feelings with. Half of his friends had their own lives now, Silver is with Blaze, Sonic is with Shadow, Amadeus and Rosemary had left when Miles was only 13, Knuckles had a job and was working all the time, and Amy was looking for a relationship, and Miles. Had nobody, all he had was a job night shift and his home.
"Miles, you're hurting right now and I know that. So why don't I make you feel a bit better aaaand, let's go for a fly in the Tornado?"
Asked Sonic as he stood up with cheer trying to make his brother lighten up.
"The Tornado in in repair right now"
Said Miles in a low tone with his face in his palms.
"shit"
Mumbled Sonic as he flopped back down onto the couch. But, he had an idea!. Sonic had remembered that Miles and him had some dirt bikes in Miles's workshop.
"Miles, come with me"
Said Sonic as he grabbed the moody fox. Sonic walked down to Miles's workshop and spotted two dirt bikes with a florescent blue tarp covering them. Sonic rushed over to the bikes and ripped the tarps off. Many memories hit Sonic as he took the tarp off of the bikes. One bike was yellow matching Miles's fur, and one was blue matching Sonic's fur. The bikes even had their logos on them. Sonic smiled as the nostalgic memories faded away. When he was done remembering he took the bikes and wheeled them outside.
Once both bikes were outside Miles slowly walked out and shut his workshop door behind him. He looked at the bikes and then at Sonic with his hands buried deep in his denim jean pockets.
"Miles, ya think these still have gas in them?"
Asked Sonic as he looked over at Miles. Miles shrugged a bit and spoke.
"Well, I remember the last time we road them we filled them up with gas and the stored them away. So I think there's still gas"
Miles said in his deep voice as he sat on the bike. Sonic looked to Miles with a grin.
"Well then lets get these bitches running!"
Said Sonic as he sat down onto the bike with a thump. Sonic's balance was honestly very shitty. He was wobbling from side to side trying not to fall off.
"Oo, what does this handle do?"
Asked Sonic as he grabbed the handle with a confused look.
"Sonic I-"
Miles was cut off when the bike flew out from under Sonic and flipped onto the sidewalk. Sonic landed on the cement driveway with a thump. When Sonic fell off the bike Miles just laughed his ass off so hard. Not even worried about Sonic he kept laughing like a hyena. Sonic was just rolling on the ground groaning and holding his back.
"Oooo, my back!"
Said Sonic as he groaned. He then turned his head to look at Miles who had his hands on his knees crying with laughter trying to catch his breath. Sonic chuckled and got up and ran over to Miles and grabbed him. Sonic had tackled Miles to the ground and Miles fought back. The two were laughing as Miles slammed Sonic's back with his fist and got out of Sonic's grip. Sonic laughed with pain as he grabbed Miles's foot but Miles managed to get away before Sonic could yank him to the ground.
Miles laughed and started running down the sidewalk laughing loudly while running. Sonic got up quickly and chased after Miles. Miles noticed that Sonic was catching up to him and strained to run faster. Miles was running his full speed at this point. He then looked behind to see Sonic still running with no troubles. Miles then flipped Sonic off and whipped his tails and flew as fast as he could.
"OH SO I SEE THIS IS A RACE NOW EH FOX BOY?!.. YOU'RE ON!"
Shouted Sonic as he sprinted faster. The two ran into the distance both giggling, shouting, and running into civilians together. Sonic was right, their bond together could not be broken.
~end~
