Hooray for updates! Sorry about the lack of them!

Rouge's POV

I stepped out the door, gazing around the area in search of Tails. Slowly, I made my way to Station Square, still seeking the fox. I sat down in front of the train station, beginning to lose hope of finding him. It then occurred to me that Tails may have gone home, so I leapt up from my seat and walked inside.

I was about to approach a nearby porter to ask him about Tails, when I caught a glimpse of Tails, his head hung low, pacing slowly to the woman selling tickets. I dashed over to him to try to stop him from leaving, but it was too late, his ticket had been bought. I ran to the woman selling tickets, bought mine as fast as I could, then hurriedly hopped onto the train.

I looked around, and found Tails sitting, alone and desolate. It was clear by the redness in his eyes, he had been crying. I sat next to him, and smiled in an effort to cheer him up. He took no notice. "Tails, do you wanna talk about what happened?" I asked, hoping he would open up to me.

"No. You will just laugh at me again." he replied.

"I won't Tails, I promise." I assured him.

"What? Just like Sonic promised to be my friend forever?" he answered, keeping a neutral tone of voice.

"Tails, Sonic was just... surprised... he didn't know how you felt and it just surprised him. He's still your friend."

For the rest of the ride, he remained silent, staring at the floor. I decided it would be best for him if I went home with him (to make sure he didn't try anything suicidal) but did not talk about Sonic for a bit. He was too shaken up at the moment.

... Sonic's POV...

It was getting dark. I was walking back home, thinking about Tails. Did he really like me that way? I was starting to wonder if I had the same feelings. We always had stuck together, no matter what. He was my best friend, I couldn't start thinking like this. I had known him since he was little, it was sick and wrong, like dating a child.

Still, something inside me yearned for him, no matter how sick I thought it was, like a flame which could not be extinguished. I sighed. I couldn't deny it, I had feelings for him. What was I going to do?

Half of me wanted to tell him, the other half said it would cause problems. I abruptly stopped on the sidewalk. I had decided it, I would tell him. He had to know.
