Also, for fun, I've decided chaos can make a few basic sounds, since it's not very clear in the game if they can ever speak or communicate in any way. So they're like little pets in this fic, with cute 'blurr bur' sounds.
WARNINGS: contains language, yaoi/slash, and MPREG. Oh- and another killer cliffhanger! HAHAHA!!!!! evil grin
I don't own 'em, but please review anyways.
Sonic stared at Knuckles for a moment, before breaking out into loud, obnoxious laughter. "Man, you almost had me going there for a minute, buddy! I'm going to have to think hard to get you back for that one!"
"It's not a joke, Sonic," Knuckles replied quietly, his voice tightening and sounding very strained. The blue hedgehog looked up at him skeptically.
"Are you trying to tell me..." His voice faded away as his mind began to race. There was just no way! The fact that they were both males was beside the point- even if it were possible for Knuckles to conceive, first they would have had to have been intimate together, and Sonic was DAMN sure THAT had never happened! At least, he thought he was absolutely sure until Knuckles looked him in the eye and uttered that one soft, heart-stopping word.
"Tails."
Sonic's head fell down onto his chest and he stared blankly at his sneakers as the partially suppressed memories flooded over him. "Tails," he repeated quietly to himself, as though dazed. His eyes were vancant. The dark blue chaos tentatively approached to peer worriedly up at the eerily slack face of its normally energetic and emotional owner.
"Burr?" it called to Sonic softly as it lifted one small paw and pressed it lightly down on the hedgehog's knee, drawing a spark of consciousness back into Sonic's eyes. He absentmindedly patted the small creature's head, then reached lower to massage the sensitive space between the chaos' tiny wings while he spoke.
"So, that's it then, Knuckles? I guess that one time was your -only- time?" He gave the enchida a weak smile. "Mine too," he admitted before the red fighter could protest. The unexpected admission stunned Knuckles, and he sat as quietly as his companion, contemplating what this new information might mean. Sonic and Amy had been together for so long that everyone had just assumed...
Could he really have been Sonic's 'only one'?
"Why, Sonic?" the enchida asked quietly when he reached the point that he couldn't stand wondering anymore. "Why didn't you find someone else after me? It was over two weeks ago! I know Amy or Tails would have loved-"
"Tails." Sonic sighed and flopped down onto his back to stare blindly up at the sky. When had the clouds turned so grey? With a pout, the chaos climbed up beside Sonic, then lay down across his chest. Knuckles' stomach began to churn uneasily as his old rival's eyes grew moist, and his voice hoarse.
"Why did it have to be Tails?"
