That night
Rouge lay on the bed recalling what had happened today. She lay alone in the room.
"Knuckles..." She said to herself.
"Yeah?" Knuckles said walking into the room.
"Oh, hi, just saying hi." Rouge lied.
"Oh." Knuckles said. He stood at the window, looking at the stars. Rouge got up and walked over to the window.
"Beautiful...isn't it?" She said.
Knuckles thought to himself, Its not the only thing... He looked over at Rouge, she looked back. They stared into each others eyes.
"Hey! What's going on?" Amy said coming to the door. Rouge walked over to the door and shut it. She walked back, still facing the door to make sure Amy was gone. She turned to Knuckles. He grabbed her hands with his humongous boxing gloves. They stared into each others eyes once again. He let go of her hands. She wrapped her arms around him, he put his hands on her back, holding her. They looked at each other. Their eyes half open. They kissed one another, and held each other intimately. They closed their eyes and fell into the kiss.
The Next Day
Rouge woke up, startled, to find Knuckles sleeping beside her. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked at Knuckles more clearly. One of his giant hands was holding her, smaller, hand. Rouge blushed then heard a knock at the door.
Knock! Knock!
"Mmmmmm...come, in..." Rouge said, tired. Sonic trotted threw the doorway triumphantly towards the bed.
"Big red not awake yet, Huh?" He said looking at Knuckles. Rouge shook her head and stared up at the ceiling. Knuckles stirred a little in his sleep, rolling slightly closer to Rouge. Sonic had finally realized how close Knuckles was to Rouge.
"So uhh, what's with Knuckles being so close?" Sonic laughed.
"He probably rolled in his sleep." Rouge said.
"Uh Huh..." Sonic said, suspicious. Knuckles nose twitched.
"... Hedgehog..."
Rouge turned her head and saw Knuckles sitting up staring at Sonic.
"Morning Pal!" Sonic said cheerfully.
"Mmmmm... Sonic... What?" Knuckles was half asleep when he was sitting up and just now woke up completely. Knuckles looked at Sonic suspiciously. Sonic scratched behind his ear.
"Cant a guy say hi to his pal?" Sonic said
"... No... Not in your case..." Knuckles said, still unsure of Sonic.
Sonic's gaze turned to the pink hedgehog standing in the doorway.
"Sonic!" She yelled.
"Bye!" He yelled, as if it were her name.
Sonic dove passed Amy and ran down the stairs. Amy knew she couldn't catch him so she walked over to the bed and sat on the end.
"Hi Rouge, wanna come play with me and Cream and Cosmo?" Amy asked.
"okay, okay..." Rouge yawned.
Rouge finally remembered Knuckles had his hand on hers. Rouge blushed brilliantly. Knuckles didn't seem to notice, he got up out of the bed and did his stretching. Rouge watched him, again, but more interested, she just couldn't help watching him stretching. Knuckles finished the stretching and left the room.
"I saw that, Rouge." Amy said smiling.
Rouge was suddenly aware that Amy was still there. Rouge blushed into a color that would almost be said to be the color of Knuckles' dread locks.
"What?" She asked, shyly.
"Oh Rouge... Rouge, Rouge, Rouge..." She said with a sly smile.
"What?" Rouge asked.
"Nothing" Amy replied. Amy looked away, giggling.
In Tails and Sonic's room
"So Sonic, how's it going with Amy?" Tails asked.
"Good..." Sonic replied.
"Sonic, where has Knuckles been?" Tails asked.
"I don't know..." Sonic said, wondering himself where Knuckles was. Knuckles walked into the room and sat down next to Tails.
"Hey, Tails!" Knuckles said cheerfully.
"Hi, Knuckles." Tails said. Tails looked around the corner to the girls room because he heard a strange sound.
"Tails, its Cream, Amy wanted her to try coffee." Knuckles said with a sigh.
"Oh." Tails said.
That night
Knuckles got into bed and stared out the window on his left. Rouge entered the room and hopped into the bed. Knuckles turned to Rouge and looked at her. Knuckles leaned in to Rouge and kissed her
"Knuckles..." Rouge sighed happily.
"...Good night, Rouge." Knuckles said with a smile.
"Night Knux." Rouge replied. Rouge rolled over facing him and drifted to sleep. Knuckles however, stared at Rouge for a long time, not able to sleep.
