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 angst, language, yaoi/slash, and MPREG.
I don't own 'em, but please review anyways.
"I -really- don't need this," Knuckles muttered as he knelt down and tried to look at Sonic through detached eyes. The hedgehog's neurotism was really none of his concern. He didn't have to get involved again. Hadn't it cost him enough troble last time? Even as he reminded himself of these things, however, Knuckles' eyes travelled slowly over the blue figure's hunched shoulders and tense muscles, to the shaking arms hiding his face. The hedgehog entire body was trembling as he sobbed, and, despite his better judgement, Knuckles began to feel sorry for him. Again.
He was careful what he said this time as he rubbed the hedgehog's back soothingly. The instant Knuckles had touched him, Sonic had found his way onto his knees and lunged forward to wrap his arms around the enchida's neck and bury his face in the warm spot between his old rival's neck and shoulder. The comfort spot.
Sonic, after a short time of muted sobs and sniffling, sat up slowly, tears still moist on his cheeks, and ran one index finger slowly down the other teen's cheek, then jawline. "Knuckles," he moaned in a hoarse, tear-strained voice. "What---"
"Shut up, Sonic. You're such a drama queen," the red fighter said with a soft smile as he kissed the salty, damp cheek. "Tails will come back. I'll stay until then."
A soft smile spread over the otherwise pained face, and the hedgehog wrapped his arms around Knuckles' neck. "Thanks," he said softly into the crimson skin of his lover's neck, as he loosened one hand to reach down and slowly rub the swollen flesh pressing against his own abdomen. "Maybe you'll stay a bit longer?" he asked hesitantly, his hand lingering on the curve of warm skin just above Knuckles' navel. He imagined he felt movement beneath his fingertips, but it was hard to tell with the shaking of his own hand.
The enchida shrugged. "We'll see," he said, but followed the uncomitting words with a gentle smile. "Ask me again in 30 days."
"OK. I will," Sonic said with a tentative smile, his lips still quivering slightly. He raised his glistening eyes to meet Knuckles' gaze, and roughly swiped a fist across his damp cheeks before repeating, "You know I will."
