Ciao! xx
It was just after sunset, and the boys were still putting the finishing touches in the garage for Cream's surprise party. They wouldn't even have been close to where they are if it wasn't for Vanilla coming over early to offer her help. As she instructed the boys what to do where, she got to cleaning up the original messes they had all made. It would all be worth it in the end.
'They coming down the road now!' Tails exclaimed when he poked his head out the door and saw the girls.
'Oh, crap!' Knuckles cursed as he attempted to detangle himself from rolls of streamers.
'Anyway we can stall them?!' Manic suggested.
'Oh, yeah, because we really have time for that now.' Shadow said sarcastically as he attempted to brush away all the glitter covering his quills and fur.
'Damn this stupid glue!' Sonic growled as he tried to pick pieces of colour paper off him.
'Places everyone!' Silver and Vanilla exclaimed in sync.
The beautiful, motherly rabbit and the boys all hid around the garage after Tails flicked off the lights. Knuckles and Manic were still struggling to free themselves from party supplies until Sonic and Shadow held them down still. They could hear the giggles and footsteps of the girls drawing closer and closer before…
'SURPRISE!' Everyone jumped up and flicked the lights on, scaring Cream half to death.
'Oh, my Chaos!' Cream exclaimed before she began to laugh.
'Happy birthday, my darling daughter.' Vanilla smiled as she rushed up to hold Cream.
'You guys did this all for me?!'
'Of course we did! The big one-two today!' Silver exclaimed as he rushed up to hug her and spin her around.
'Silver, I'm thirteen?'
'No, you're not!'
'Alright, Silver, suit your- What the heck happened to you guys?!' Cream cut herself off when she noticed Shadow and Knuckles.
'Just…getting into the birthday spirit!' Knuckles insisted.
'Or Manic spilt glitter and glue all over me..' Shadow smirked.
'Alright, you guys, knock it off.' Sally smiled.
'Let's get this party started!' Sonia added as she squeezed the young rabbit.
The party was in full swing, despite it only being the gang and Vanilla, then The Chaotix showing up a little later, it was still everything Cream could have asked for. Silver was whirling the young rabbit around the dance floor while Manic, Blaze and Sally watched on, laughing, cheering and clapping along with the two gleeful dancers.
Charmy danced around the pair on his own, Shadow and Knuckles snickering at the young bee while Sonia, Tikal, Tails and Cosmo were standing by the large table of food and drinks, talking and laughing as they were sipping away on drinks. Amy and Rouge were in a corner by the stairs, talking and drinking before the fuchsia hedgehog felt a tug on her arm.
'Amy? I need your help with a few things in the kitchen.' Sonic smiled at her innocently.
'Sure thing, I'll come up now.' Amy responded, equally as guiltless.
'You two got a handle on it all?' Rouge asked politely, although sensing something suspiciously exciting.
'I'll yell out if we need any help.
'I'll be here.' Rouge shrugged through a sly smile before taking another drink of her wine
The bubble-gum bundle cocked a brow at her snow furred friend before shrugging it off as she hastened up the stairs to find Sonic, curious as to what he actually wanted. When she made it up the stairs into the dimly lit living room, she saw no sign of blue anywhere, growing increasingly anxious. That was of course, until she was picked up from behind and spun around before being set back on her feet.
'Sonic the Hedgehog, so sneaky.' Amy smirked as he kissed her cheek and jawline from behind.
'What's the bet I'd give Faker and Rouge a run for their money?' Sonic chuckled as he squeezed his arms around her stomach.
'You'd be a top of the class agent.' Amy sighed as he continued to trail down her neck.
She let out a shaky breath before he turned her around in his arms, forcing her to face him. His features were illuminated in the dim light, his emerald orbs sparkling as they stared into her jade irises. He let out a small smile, only showing a hint of his teeth as he watched Amy swoon. He pulled her in closer before gently pressing his lips onto hers.
'You really couldn't hold off until later?' She cooed as their lips parted.
'Not a chance.' He whispered in reply.
'Come on, let's go downstairs.' She insisted as she reluctantly pulled away, 'Cream will wonder where we've gotten off to.'
'You go, I'll be down in a minute.' Sonic insisted, causing Amy's smile to fade as she stopped walking away.
'You don't want to walk down with me?' She questioned, turning her head back slightly.
'Don't stress, Ames, I'll be down before Rouge starts handing you another drink again.'
She turned back to face the front, her smile having completely vanished from her previously blushing muzzle, before nodding once and making her way slowly down the stairs. She knew now that he really didn't want anyone to know, he couldn't even walk down the stairs with her. She trusted him that he wasn't sneaking around with her just for everything physical, she knew now he felt for her, but-
'Hey babe, everything sweet?' Rouge said cutting Amy's thoughts off as she reached the bottom of the stairs.
'Hmm? Oh, right, yeah all is fine.' Amy lied, 'Sonic just wanted some help upstairs.'
'What did he-'
'Hey, Cream!' Amy cut Rouge off as the young rabbit came over to them.
'Thank you so much for this, girls. I'm having the best time!' The new teen exclaimed.
'That's all we could've asked for!'
Rouge nodded through a laugh to agree before taking another drink of her wine to hide the suspicious expression she was giving Amy behind her back. You didn't have to be a highly qualified G.U.N agent to know something secret was going on with Amy, and worse, whatever it was it was going badly for the moment. She wanted to know, but how to begin…
Later that night, after everyone had left and most of the mess was cleaned up, Amy was home having a hot shower, washing away all her worries in her rose and cherry scented scrubs. As she rubbed the conditioner into her quills, a relaxed smile drifting across her face as she rest her eye lids, she swore she heard something coming from the living room.
Her eyes snapped open as she startled, causing conditioner to seep into her eye. She cursed as she held her eye, quickly ducking her head under the water to wash all the scrubs and conditioners away before turning off the water and stepping out of the shower, bubbles still clinging to her fur. She pulled a towel around her, drying herself a little, before she walked out into the living room to find Sonic seated on the coffee table with a rose in his mouth.
'Oh, Romeo! What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.' Amy stated dramatically as she tightened the towel around her chest.
'Oh,' Sonic began as he took the rose out of his mouth and sauntered towards her, 'I am fortune's fool.'
Amy could barely get out a smile before her Romeo's lips were pressed firmly against hers as he laced his arms behind her back. He deepened the kiss eagerly before picking her up and spinning her again the same way he had done earlier before putting her back down and breaking away the kiss. As he looked into her eyes he brought the rose to her face, offering it to her.
'A single red rose.' She whispered.
'How about you go get dressed and then come down so we can watch a movie together.' He said be pecking her cheek and heading for the lounge.
Amy nodded absent mindedly through a dreamy smile before bringing the rose up to her nose as she made her way upstairs to her room. She closed her bedroom door behind her before stripping herself of the towel and quickly dried herself. She hung the towel on the hook behind her door and placed the rose on her bedside table before walking over to her closet.
She put on a tight tank top and matching coloured panties before closing it up and walking over to her dresser. She squeezed out some scented moisturizer and rubbed it over her legs, rubbing the rest on her arms before headed downstairs. As she opened and left her door ajar, she walked downstairs, watching her step and oblivious to Sonic's eyes watching her walk gracefully.
'Wow,' Sonic wolf whistled, 'Looking good, Ames.'
'You're such a romantic.' She rolled her eyes before climbing onto the couch and into his arms.
'Sorry,' Sonic laughed before pulling her in and kissing her forehead, 'You look beautiful.'
'It's just my pyjamas, silly.'
'I know.'
Amy looked up into his eyes as the words escaped his lips, he really was a romantic when he wanted to be. He leaned in and kissed her gently before pulling back and turning to face the TV, which had just started an episode of an old series, FRIENDS. Amy loved this show, and she knew Sonic did too, they had seen every episode together, it was like part of the bond between them.
It was up to a scene in one of the later episodes where Rachel, a stunningly beautiful brunette vixen, and Joey, a handsome and slightly dim hedgehog had begun sneaking around together. They hadn't told any of their friends yet, but knew the time would come eventually, if they got around to talking about it. It got Amy to thinking, maybe this was as good a time as any?
'Sonic, I wanted to talk to you about something…' Amy began.
'Hmm?' Sonic acknowledged her sleepily.
'Nothing has ever made me happier than being with you, especially knowing we can be together knowing how much we feel for each other. Having said that, I don't want to keep doing this all with so much secrecy. I mean, why can't we tell the others? Every time I've tried to talk to you about it you either change the subject or-'
*silent snores*
'Or fall asleep…' Amy finished as she looked up to see her man snoozing away.
The following evening, Amy was washing up some cups and saucers from her afternoon with Rouge. The ivory bat had come over for a simple catch up with iced tea, and ended up staying for a few hours. The two girls could certainly talk all night once they got going, but Rouge was called into the office. Which worked out well, because the bubble gum heroine was exhausted.
All afternoon Rouge managed to pick out clues merely around the living room, making her clearly suspicious that something was going on that Amy was hiding. For example, just when she walked in, Sonic's brown scarf was hanging over the lounge arm. Given, anyone could have picked up on that, but Rouge could clearly see right through Amy's lie of ''It's mine''.
Even more, when the ivory bat went just into the kitchen to get more tea, she saw left overs of last night's chilli dogs… just the way Sonic liked them. Just the way Amy hated them. All her instincts told her to push the matter, desperate to find out what was happening. Alas, she didn't, she managed to restrain herself and thank Chaos the chief had called her away, or she might have gone mad.
As Amy finished the washing, she dried off her hands and made her way to the couch with a warm mug of tea, determined to just spend the night there watching TV before silently drifting off to sleep… that was, until she heard a knock at the door. Normally she would get up and answer it herself, but she was feeling a little lazy tonight.
'It's open!' She called out before hearing the door creak open.
'Ooh, are we watching the next episode?' Sonic questioned as he closed the door and jumped onto the couch.
'Just started!'
'Great!' Sonic smiled before pulling Amy in to spoon.
'Actually, Sonic I want to talk about something.' Amy said before pausing the episode.
'Oh?' Sonic coked a brow as he sat up.
'Sonic, nothing makes me happier than being with you. You know that right?'
'I do now.' Sonic smiled before kissing her.
'Good,' Amy nodded as she broke it off, 'but I just don't understand why we can't tell our friends we're together? They'd be thrilled! Every time I try to talk to you about it, you-'
'Amy, do we really need to talk about this?' Sonic cut her off as he got up from the couch.
'Yes! I want to know why you don't want people to know!' Amy snapped as she got to her feet.
'I never said that?! Stop making assumptions, Amy.'
'Are you kidding me?! You were so insistent on not even being seen walking down the stairs with me at Cream's party, and when I try to say something you either push it away or fall asleep!'
'I'm not dealing with this now.' Sonic rolled his eyes and headed for the door.
'There you go again! Pushing away any sort of serious conversation! How do you expect us to-'
'Goodnight! Amy!' Sonic snapped, cutting her off, before dashing out the door.
The ringing from the slamming door died down, Amy's shock passed her by before she turned off the TV with tears brimming her eyes. When the room fell dark from the disappearing light of the TV, her tears starting to fall, faster and faster before she ran upstairs and slammed her bedroom door behind her. She let out a few more sobs before throwing herself onto her bed to let it all out, crying herself to sleep…
Sonic didn't run straight home, he needed to clear his head with a dash around the planet. He ran and ran until he found a clearing that surrounded part of the lake, the moon's rays seeping through the tree leaves and shimmering on the water. He skidded to a halt before taking a seat underneath a tree by the lake, staring at his reflection in the water.
Dare I say it, but she's right… all I've done is push the topic away…
Why?
I love her, she needs to know that for sure.
And so does everyone else…
The next morning, somewhere around ten, Amy slowly woke up to the sun streaming through her window. Her eyes were red, swollen and sore from crying until she finally fell asleep the previous night. She slowly sat up in her bed, rubbing her eyes as she recalled last night's events. She forced herself not to cry again as she got up and made her way to the bathroom.
When she walked in, she immediately splashed her face, determined to rid herself of her puffy eyes. She scrubbed and scrubbed until she stopped to breath, looking at her reflection in the mirror. When she was sad, her face could never hide it, it was all so obvious. She let out a depressed sigh before hearing her communicator sound in her room, causing her to run up and answer it.
'Hello?' Amy croaked out as she answered.
'Amy? Are you ok?' Rouge's voice sounded through the communicator when she noticed Amy's sad expression.
'I'm fine, just tired.' Amy lied, 'What's going on?'
'You need to get over to garage right now!'
'What? What's wrong?!' Amy questioned in a panic.
'Just get over here now!' Rouge exclaimed before cutting off the connection.
Amy got cleaned up and changed in record time before stumbling out of the house and heading for the garage as fast as she could. Eggman and one of his mechanical beasts must be on the loose again! Or maybe the Anti-Mobians had returned! Whatever it was, it must have been serious to get Rouge so worked up. The fuchsia heroine put last night behind her for now, determined to find out what was happening.
'I ran all the way here!' Amy panted as she made her way up to the open door, 'So, what's going-'
She cut herself off when she finally stood in the doorway and looked in to find a sight that almost guaranteed she was dreaming. She was at a loss for words, no matter how hard she tried all she could manage was a shaky breath. Her heart stopped in her chest, her breath beginning to hitch as her jade orbs pierced through the soul of emerald irises.
Sonic stood in the middle of the garage with a bouquet of red roses tied together with a baby pink ribbon, looking at her with that dreamy smile of his that even he knew Amy swoon. The rest of the gang were either sitting or standing around him in a semi-circle, watching on with happy smiles as they suppressed their giggling and chuckling as they looked at Amy suffer a debate with herself on what was real.
'You were right, Ames.' Sonic admitted timidly.
'How do those words taste in your mouth?' She smirked, causing the rest of the gang to snicker.
'Like vinegar,' Sonic shrugged honestly, 'but you were.'
'About what, Sonic?' Amy pushed.
'I brushed off the topic every time you brought it up, and it was a dodgy move on my part,' Sonic began as he walked up to her slowly, 'I'm sorry, and I want everyone here to know the truth.'
'Oh? And what would that be?' She questioned dramatically.
'I love you, Amy Rose.' Sonic smiled as he stopped in front of her, handing her the roses.
'I love you too, you stubborn hog.'
Sonic chuckled before Amy threw her arms around his shoulders and kissed him excitedly. She cupped his face in her hands as she pulled his face close, deepening the kiss. They both smiled into each other's mouths, not bothered that the rest of the gang was standing behind them trying to hide their smiles as they all exchanged happy glances.
The cobalt hero pulled her in by the small of her back, gripping her hips so tightly it was probably too much, but he had to. He had to have her, and he didn't care what it took anymore. He dipped her down a little before kissing all over her face as she laughed. She forced them back up straight as she looked into his eyes, swooning unintentionally.
'So, are you in or out?' Amy whispered.
'I'm so in.' Sonic winked.
'It's about damn time…' Sonia and Manic smirked in sync.
